SIGNIFICANT FIGURES

Those who insist on taking a pessimistic view of Canada's finan- cial position should examine her insurance statistics: A statement recently issued by the Life Insur- ance Sales Research Bureau shows that in the first nine months of the present year a total of $367,223,000 of new paid-for ordinary life insur- once was sold in the Dominion and Newfoundland. Incidentally, the total life in force in Canada at the present time is $6,- 500,000,000, or $650 for every man, woman and child in the Dominion.

The "wave lengths" nf our life has been steadily getting shorter, the rhythm faster, by a P106655 over which we have no control. Scientific discovery, whether cause or effect of the latest acceleration in tempo, cannot be halted without a complete collapse of our civiliz- ation which is based upon it. We must now go on, seeking new 1n- ventlons, new sources of power, or crash-w, civilization in a nose dive. If we are to become adjusted, it is evident that in some way we have got to order our lives differently. We have got to bring back, in the new, qulckened tempo, some sense of leisure and secure for ourselves a respit from the hailstorm or sensation and need for constant adjustment, some new habit patt- erns, that will enable us to control ourselves nervously, to rise above the plane of sensation, and to concentrate on the things of the spirit. Only thus can we regain control of our individuality and our lives in the whirling flux into which we shall otherwise dissolve.

NERVOUS SYHPTOII DUI ‘I0 INFECTION

That was before we knew that liver or liver extract would cure p51-

i-he nicious anaemia.

It was felt that the terrible men- tal strain placed on these men 5e undermined their resistive forces, that they were unable to ward ufl this ailment. .

Thus it has been thought by ingny that the mental and emotional strain was really responsible 10;- most cases of pernicious anaemia,

Some of the findings of Drs. K, c, Smithburll and L. G. Zerfas, In- dianapolis, would seem to bear out this idea, as in a study of 115 pat. ients with pernicious anaemia near. iy 97 per cent showed some evidence of involvement of the nervous syg. tcm. Improvement in the condition of the ilcrvous system was noted While the patient was being treated with daily amounts of liver extract Mich k611i the number and richness of ‘the red corpuscles up to 110111131; yet liver extract apparently does not contain anything that is um. ually helpful to the nervous system itself.

Why docs the daily use of liver or of liver extract help the general nervous condition of the patient?

Because the liver or liver extract maintains the general health of the individual by making more new rich corpuscles. Thus the individual by b51118 built up physically, has his nervous system built up also, and so the nervous symptoms disappear along with all the other symptoms.

And while this building up pro- cess is going on all over the body, other infections can't get started be- cause of the resisting power of the blood. Because you will remember that one of the jobs of the liver is to purify the blood and take out of it harmful organisms that may start trouble.

It would seem therefore to be only good sense oil our part to keep our own liver active so as to ward ug pernicious anaemia and other ail- ments. Bending exercises will do this for us. _.

It would also seem wise when ner- vous symptoms become evident to have teeth, tonsils, "sinuses, gall bladder and large intestine inves- tigated, as possible causes of these symptoms.

_ The Cost Of War

(Exchange) .

A British medical history of the war which has been prepared by the Government shows that the to- tal casualties suffered by the Bri- tish Empire were 11,096,338. Of these 1,965,466 were incurred by the Domlnions.

It is shown that the year of the heaviest casualties was 1918, the year when the final thrusts were made aaglnst the German lines along most of the battlefront in France and Fipndcrs. In that year there were 624,486 casualties in bat’- ilc and 1,184,904 from other causes. The non-battle casualties outnum- bcrcd those incurred in the firing line, being 6,185,767 during the pro- gress of the war.

It is recorded in the medical rc- port that 8,654,000 men mobilized for service, not counting the Royal Navy and the merchant marine. In llchllhi; ‘with wounds sustained the record shows that 58.51 per cent Of these were inflicted by shells and trench mortals, 38.98 per cent. by bullets and only .32 per ccnt. by bayonet. The latter figures are not absolutely accurate. They were ub- tamed by examining the record of 212,000 casualties in clearing Ell-J tlons. Of thc non-battle casunmgg

I should mention "the induc- tion of electric currents," trusting that the child would not examine me as to what the induction of electric currents precisely was; if the child plunged deeper into my store of ignorance, .1 should say that, but for this, we should never have had the dynamo, but if he asked me what a dynamo was 1' should have to make an excuse to slip out of the room and take a hurried look through the dictionary.

It may be that the invincible ig- norance of many of us to-clay is the result of invincible indifference 1n our childhood. But do not be- lieve that we are proud of it. Are we not for ever buying primers and outlines of science in the hope of at least obtaining a. faint glimmer- ing of this precious knowledge? But, alas, even the primers puzzle us, and in the outlines we are weak swimmers who soon have to turn back to the shore. And so far as we can judge, there is not a single one of these sciences that we could hope to master in less than half a lifetime, even if we understood the language in which it is written. The danger for the non-scientific man in the present age seems to me, therefore to be an excess of humility, and even of despair. It is no fun not to be able to understand what one reads in the newspapers. It is humiliating to realize that lane's head aches 1n vain to com- prehend what one's friends appear to find as simple as the multiplica- tion tables. Even politics, which used to be as simple and as dog- matic as theology, is gradually be- coming bewildering as a result of its association with the science of economies. In politics of the old- fashioned kind the ignorant man could always fall back confidently on catch-words. Protection and Free Trade, Unionism and Home Rule-all that was needed in order to feel sure that one was on the right side was a sound prejudice. To-day,‘ however, prejudice is los- ing its political value. Even the most ignorant of us is talking economics, sinking deeper and deep er into the sand the farther we go. My head swims as I listen to the most ordinary conversation. I join two friends to be told by one of them: “I was just. telling Henry there's no such thing as money." I nod and agree, “Of course not." "But," says Henry, "I don't under- stand." I nod sympathetically with Henry, for I do not understand either. “1t isnt real," says the other, "it's chips-just a lot of chips." I nod again, but Henry persists that he is still unable to understand, and I say "Like poker," as though I had grasped it. I am even tempted at times to explain the situation myself when I meet some charmingly ignorant person‘ who believes that everybody else knows more about it than he does. Recoilecting as bcst I can some of the things I have read in the pap- ers I say to hlm gravely: "me position is this. The productive capacity o! the world has enorm- ously increased. ‘The exchange cap- acity o! the world has not kept pace with it. We imust now go off gold and discover a new unit that will increase its exchange capacity." If he asks "What would you have
