The temperature of thef sea varies less than that of the land. and from this fact it follows that during the day it is the cooler at the two, and during the night the warmer. In winter, and summer. too. like dltferences are observable.

In the nth cen- tury the use of movable type was discovered by A Chinese black- smith. . . . On an island in the Necbudda grows a banyan tree which was no mere sapling in the days of Alexander the Great. As many as 7,000 persons have been known to shelter under its enor- mous spread. .

You may never have occasion to ride on an elephant, but if you should, that's the way to. go about it.

Oceania, a British possession in the Pacific Ocean. has been the scene of some terrible earthquakes Take for instance. the quake which hit. Tombaro, in the island of Sum- bawa. It took place in 1816, and lasted one week, and out of a pop- ulation of 12,000 persons, only twenty-six escaped death. Then the town of Tomboro sank into the sea. . It. is interesting to note that the leaves of many of Australia's plants spread them- selves straight out from the stem or branch, which causes them to hang either straight down, or else in a. slanting position so that they afford little shade from the sun. Too. Australia has the largest trees in the world. They are called "eu- calyptus," and more than two- thlrds of its animals are marsu-

PREVENTING RECU INC! OF PE 0 ULCIB

The majority of patients with peptic ulcer (ulcer of the stomach and of the first part of the mall intestine) can now be cured. or greatly helped, by diet and use of alkalios. However. there are al- ways some case; that can be help- ed only by surgery.

An ulcer patient who had been under medical treatment for some months finally decided to undergo operation. He confided to his phy- sician that he was really glad he was going to have his ulcer cut out because he would thus require no more treatment. His physician said that even after the operation, if he let his emotions upset him as before and failed to follow the ulcer diet. he could easily have a return to his ulcer or grow another one.

The return of peptic ulcer means is long period of medical treatment or a second operation, but physic- ians today are studying how best to prevent the recurrence.

In Annals of Internal Medicine. Dr. Theodore L. Aithausen, Uni- versity of California, writes that the most. important causes of ulcer recurrences are physical and men- tal fatigue. emotional disturbances. dietary indiscretions and infec- tions. '

Prevention of recurrences should start before treatment is begun with careful diagnosis. In addition to the X-ray (the greatest single method of learning condition of the stomach and intestine)), the symptoms and the patic-nt's mental make-up should be thoroughly studied, especially the presence of sharply outlined or circum- scribed tenderness over the duo- denum.

After careful examination and the establishing of the diagnosis. the next preventive step is ade- quate treatment. During the first week. diet is limited to milk and cream mixture given every hour or two. alternated with antacids. Drugs to prevent spasm and a ouieting drug are prescribed three times a day. During the second week this schedule is continued and certain bland foods added if no pain has occurred. Eggs. cottage cheese. white bread. oatmeal. Cream of Wheat. macaroni. pota- toes, rice, sugar, sail; and butter may be-eaten. Great emphasis should be -placed on regularity of food intake and use of antacids.

Cooked fruits and pureed vege- tables may be added at beginning of third week. Gradually milk and antacids are cut down.

Q. Should a man remove his glove if a woman offers to shake hands with him on the street?

A. This would probably involve a. needless bit of tugging and scuff- llrig on his part. and it is not at all necessary. He should offer his gloved hand without embarrass- ment and without apology.

Q. Is it all right for a woman to place her purse and gloves on the restaurant table while she is eaung?

A. No; she should keep them in her lap. Or she may place them on is vacant chair if she feels sure they are safe and that she won't forget them.

Q. Is it eorrwt to eat frozen puddings with the fork or the spoon? .

A. With the fork.

In their spare time, they were at the lumbering, cutting pieces down by the stream and burning

the resultant litter of branches in a. fire that glowed brightly. sending up plumes of scented

smoke and spreading gay cascades of stars when dusk was beginning to possess the landscape. Since James is not one to tolerate char- red remains of sticks after a bum- ing, piling and repillng the heap until it is all consumed, after chorlng tonight, he slipped away alone to attend to this one at stream-side. The growing moon went with him, one that beamed mellowly about, and stealing in windows, made pretty patterns on di.m walls or floor. The day was a gift to farm-folk, sunny, and mild. encouraging any project of work within or without. We remember there was a happy lift to the spur- rows' wings 9.! they drifted or set- tled sbout the yards. The wood- peoker beat out clear measures high up on a. bairn-gable; there was crow-call from the neighbor- lng bush an with granddaughter we watched wild ducks fly into the sunset. But Burns' Night will bring us colder weather" we said looking back with James through the years.

And now is Burnsf Night -that Night 0' the year when Scotsmen the world over foregather to honor the name of their "Plowman Bard" naming his name lovingly. with pride and ever with respect. He was a man set apart, chosen of Heaven, inspired with a. mystical touch to sing the songs of his coun- try. so they reverence his mem- ory. treasurlng his writings with 8 like religious regard to that ac- corded The Book, which so often inspired the theme of his lays. Child of a humble cottage. with white-washed walls and u. thatch- ed roos. and poverty stricken though he may often have been, he was nevertheless, rich in his knowledge and insight of human- ity and the ways of the world.

He was well acquainted with farm-life, and if it had its toll- some, bleak side for him, he ab- sorbed as well in great measure the delights which attend our oc- cupation. l-iow keen was his wit, and infectious his humour! His patriotism sincere, his affection lasting, his sorrows deep and his faith strong. It would be difficult for us to choose, if we would. our favorite song or poem, so many we enjoy. As far back as memory can so, we recall a farmer reading Burns' lyrics to his flock gathered about his old armchair. on just such a Winter night as this . .. bringing the characters alive for us, until we came to know many of them quite as well as we knew the- neighbors in the community about us. Yes, this is Burns' Night, when scutsmen revere the mem- ory of a man who wrote of his breed to a. friend: "Whatever miti- ilates the woes or increases the happiness of others, this is my criterion of goodness, and what. We! lnluru society at large or any individual in it, this is my men. use of iniquity."
