There ls no doubt that living per- petually far inland tends to n. cer- tain narrowness of mind that is not realised there. Great benefit has re- suited to the Central and Western Provinces from the number of col- lege professors and principals, cler- gymen, bankers, and professional men lnterfused in their ranks by mi- grants from lhe old, eastern Pro- vinces by the sea. The universal sea which washes the shores of every continent and island, has a. broad- ening effect upon the minds of those who dwell perpetually near it. Those whose less fortunate lot 1n life it ls to li'.'e afar inland should always visit the Martlmes yearly during the tourist season. The worst blizzard [in the history of northern Manitoba was reported from .wlnnlpeg on May 6. It had then continued for ten days and the terrific storm was still raging. Trains were snowed under and on two of them 100 railway men were reported short of food. Airplanes wJl be employed to carry food to them if dogs and tractors fail to get through.

He stated that after one of his bouts he lost his memory for two days and he was therefore afraid I uzvould eventually unbalance his men- itality. It has been my mivilcge for n {number of years to examine botlu ‘amateur and professional boxers be- 1fore and after iho bouts. and that nepeated blows to the head can cause ‘loss of memory lasting for hours and even days, is only too true. In fact on more than one occasion ,'it has been found necessary to have §boxers stop boxing for a few months 11o avoid what is called “punch "drunk." Not withstanding that this ,condition has been known to boxing innd football coaches for many years ~1t is only within the past year that the medical profession has seriously considered the matter, As sludents we were taught that n "concumlon" was just a shaking up of the brain. That it was as if you took the skull in your hands and gave the contents a "shake." No in- jury followed it because the bony case, the skull, was not injured. In "compression" however a bone or bones of the skull were so brok- en or pushed in. that they pressed or. the brain substance itself and caused paralysis or other conditions. Therefore we never gave concus- sion much though because although there is o. temporary loss of con. v T12 Intimate Papers Of Colonel” House The Friend And Adviser Qf President Wil- son“ Recounts InHis Diary The Great Events Of The War in Which His Country Was Concerned.

It made plain the necessity 1of speeding American production and training American troops; it editor in another part, of the Do- Thai contlnuad blown on the head led to the creation of the various llnterallled councils which provided for proper coordination between the nccds cf the Allies and tl-fs capacity of the United states to provide them. Inllncdiately aftcr his return from Paris, Colonel House discussed this topic with the President. O11 Decem- ber l8, in the study of Mr. Wilson in the White House, he recounted his effort to persuade the Allies to join in ronnulatlns a broad declaration of war aims that would units the world against Germany and would. not only help to a solution of the Russian problem but would knit to- gether the best and most unselfish opiniOnS of the world. I could not persuade them to do this and now 1t will be done by the President. Mr. Wilson lost no time in deciding that in default of an intemllied manifesto, a comprehensive address by himself might ‘prove to be the moral fuming point of the war just as the coordination of war boards and poilicles were likely to be the military turning-point. v The President decided that he would frame his speech with three special purposes in mind. First as an answer to the demand of the Bolsheviks for an explanation of ‘the objects of war, such an answer as might persuade the Russians to stand l by the Allies in their defense of dementia and liberal prlnclplcs ac- cording to which, as Wilson insisted. the peace settlement must be framed and which would be trampled under loot by a vlctorius Germany. Second, as an appeal to the German Socialists who had begun to indicate their suspicion that their government was not reallywaglng a war of. defense but rather one of conquest totally ihlDfl80f1lflt'With the Relchstag resolution of July. Third, as a notice to the Entente that there must be n revision in ‘n. liberal sense of the war aims which had been crystallized in the secret treaties. The President was especially disturbed by the Treaty of Jmndon and the sin-ange- zmnts nude for the partition of the Turkish Empire. Mr. Wilsongwas aware of the ex- tent to which Great Britain and France were committed to Italy by the Treaty of _ London. It xvas im- portant to make plain that the Un- ited States was pledged to principles that conflicted directly with that treaty so far as it assigned for- eign nationalities to Italian sover- eign. On this discussion there was eighty. On this question there was no discussion between Colonel House and the President, and the latter wrote on the margin of‘ the Inquiry Report the sentence which became Point IX. ‘Readjustment ‘of the frontiers of Italy along clearly rec- ognized lines offl nationality.‘ This wash-i effect a. denial of the claim of Italy to control the Adriatic and the Gannon-speaking Tyrol as ex “pressed in the Treaty of London.

My fricnd the professor's wife had recently had her appendix removed and when I went in to see her, she greeted me with enthusiasm. "I'm glad it's you.” she said, “be- cause you may be willing to talk to me intelligently." she waved scorn- fully at pile of humorous books on her bureau. “I don't mean to be ungrateful for these offerings, but at present the subject of operations seems to me anything but funny. That's why I wanted to see you. Perhaps, not be- ing my own doctor, you will answer a few questions I have been asking my- self since I started on this painful adventure." "Ask away," I said. "If I think it's none of my business to answer you I'll say so." "First." she said, "I have a small wound, they tell rne, on the right side of my abdomen. Then why in Heaven's name did they scrub and shave and disinfect me with stinking alcohol from head to foot?" I explained that while a lurgeon might expect to make his incision in a circumscribed area, he never knew certainly until the incision was made whether another incision might have to be made . The shaving and dis- infection are attempts to eliminate one source of operative infection- the skin. and hair cups. “And why was I starved before- hand?" “Because ether causes nausea in most people. and is beat tolerated on an empty stomach." _ “What was in that hypodermic in- jection?" An injection, I told her, contain- ing a small dose of morphine and atropine is generally given to quiet the patient during the giving of the ether. and to reduce the production of saliva, which is often profuse and interferes with breathing. “I was so calm when I went to the and saw Dr. Blank and his assistants scrubbing their hands u ff their lives dependedon it, although afterward they put on rubber gloves.

She pushes away tables and stools, ties the surgeon's coat fasten- lngs, wipes off their foreheads when they perspfre, and does a thousand odd jobs which the scrubbed-up nurses could not do without losing their surgical cleanliness." "Fine," said the patient, "now we have got ma on the table.

He uses nervous responses which u; in- dependent of the mind. The eye, in the ' reaction of the pupil, gives I good guide to the depth of the nar- cosls, or anaesthesia. Just before the patient is completely unconscious he will frequently make small voluntary movement , such as wiggling his fingers. Soon thereafter he becomes fully relaxed and insensitive.
