To children attending schools for the blind and to adults who beâ€" come blind in their early twenties, Braille presents no difficulties, but not a great many adults who go blind in middle or old age attain proficiency. Most of them are able to read with At a reunion of the graduates of the Ontario School for the Blind held in Brantford recently, it was decided as a mesult of a formal debate that "Braille" was of more educational and recreaâ€" tional value to a blind person than the Talkingâ€"Book.

Even after operation for removal of gall stones 25 per cent. of women will continue to have symptoms, in most cases because of a psychosis or fear of continued gall bladder trouble and sometim»s because these patients are allergic or sensitive to certain foods. Inquire, dGiligently and in detail, whether there is a history of severe psychic shock (emotional disturbance) causing severe attacks of pain. Has there ever been jaundice? Tenderness? Bloating with gas after a heavy meal (typical Oof gall bladder trouble)? If so,; when, andâ€"how long did it last?

This present week, the citizens of Timmins and district will have an opâ€" portunity to contribute to the maintenâ€" ance of the Institute. Part of the funds raised will be used to keep the library upâ€"toâ€"date so that blind men and woâ€" men may have available to them the best that can be secured in the way of literaturn2. It is well to remember at the same time that this is only one of the several outstanding ways in which the Canadian National Institute for the Blind assists blind people. Every dollar contributed to the Institute means a full dollar‘s help to blind people. Anyâ€" one who investigates the work of the Institute will be pleasingly astonished at the extont of the help given the blind by the organization and the deep heart interest in the welfare of all blind persons shown by the Institute and its staff, most of whom are blind themss2lves physically, but have the kesnest vision for ways and means to help their fellows. The Editor of Porcupine Advance, Timmins Official statement re closing of games at Schumacher, July 1, 1938. The Schumacher Lions Club accepts no responsibility for any individual opinions already published in the press. The only source thrcugh which Braille books and Talkingâ€"Books are supplied to the blind in Ontario is through the library of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. It has on its shelves over 19,000 volumes of embossed literature and over 100 titles in Talkingâ€"Book form. The service is free. It costs nothing to become a member of the library. It is one of the services which is rendered by the Institute to the blind people of the country. One which costs a considerâ€" able sum of money, but which is essenâ€" tial if blind people are to be given one of the most highly prized privileges of modern man. Official Statement Schumacher Lions From the point of view of the perâ€" son who has difficulty with Braille, the Talkingâ€"Book is a Godsend, but from the standpoint of the expert Braille reader, it is a poor substitute. Aside from the fact that there is a larger selection of books in Braille form, the Braille rmader can carry the volâ€" umes with him wherever he goes. He can take his book to bed with him, he camnm take notes in Braille. He can read over any passages that interest him time and again without the necessity of handling machinery. H»2 can relax for a few moments if he becomes tired. If there are any interruptions, he can resume his reading where he left off withclut missing any of the text. The Braille reader has, to a much greater degree than would be possible with th»e Talkingâ€"Book, that intimate association with the work he is reading which is one of the delights enjoyed by sighted readers. About Closing of Games at Schumacher Event, July 1 sufficient ease to permit them to enâ€" joy Braille books or magazines but their reading time is slow. To them the Talkingâ€"Book presents certain deâ€" finite advantages. If a blind person can put a record on a machine, insert a ntéedle in the head of the tone arm and push an electric switch, he needs no further training or practice to enâ€" joy a wide variety of literature. He can sit down and have expert and highlyâ€"trained readers read to him many of the old masterpieces and many of the modern works of literaâ€" ture. Schumacher, Ont., July 85, 1938 "While drinking water supplies have born greatly improved the tourist must remember that he cannot use water from any and all sources and still be safe.

Pollution may be present only at infrequent intervals but why take that chance when it is so unnecessary. Similarly wells, may be often badly poluted from surface drainage and filth. Unless there is definite knowledge that the. water is safe it should be boiled or chlorinated before use. This should be followed not only for water that is to be used for drinking plurposes but also when it is need2d for washing vegetables eaten raw, for washing dishes and for similar uses.

Many diseas>s may be spread through this medium if it is not safeguarded, but milk may be adequately protected by a simple heat treatment. It can be made just as safe as the pasteurized supply furnished in the urban centres. Two methods are available; the first is to heat it to 145 degrees P. in a double boiler and allow it to stand on the back of the stove at this temperaâ€" ture for 30 minutes. The other proâ€" cedurs is to bring it to the boiling point and then cool it. Many people have a false notion that milk they secure out in the country is so much richer than that in th> city. They do not seem to realize that it all comes from the country no matter where it is purâ€" chased. If you can buy pasteurized milk do so; if you cannot then use either of the above methods for safety."
