Sir David Bruce, President of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Gives Brifliant Address on " Prevention of Disease. Mr. Carvell’s death apparently was due to heart failure. He was a man of great physique and endurance, but to intimate friends within the last year or two he had intmatnd that he suffered a little from hear; trouble. When he left Ottawa on Friday last, however, he was apparently in good health. after 5 o'clock. He had arrived from Ottawa at noon and was apparently in the best of health. He Set out to walk through the fields, telling: the members of his household that he would return at 5 o’clock. As he did not return they went to look for him and found him lying as he had fallen. I‘hey believed him unconscious and a doctor was hastily summoned and said that the position of the body indicated that he had died almost instartly. St. John, N.B., Aug. 10.â€"Hon. Frank Carvell, Chairman of the Board of Railway Commissioners of Canada, was suddenly stricken at his home in Woodstock on Saturday evening and was found dead on his farm shortly V A despatch from Toronto says:â€" Sciénce plays an important, though, perhaps, secret part, in the life of every citizen, and it was in apprecia- tion of that fact that a large number of Toronto people turned out to Con- vocation Hall to accord a fine sendâ€"off to the inaugural meeting of the Brit- ish Association for the Advancement of'Science, and to hear Major-General Sir David Bruce, presidgrt, give an outline of the recent advance of medi- c‘al‘keience. Sir David’s address was so exten- sive in its scope that it is impossible to indicate its content in a few words, but in addition to challenging modern medicine to' take the offensive in the battle with disease, he stressed, among other things, the necessity of spending money to provide the inhabitants of modern cities with hygienic Surround- ings; the responsibility of the indi- vidual citizen to accept vaccination of his children; the importance of the widespread application of the new knowledge about the life-giving vita- mins to diet, and the need for still more energetic attacks on tuberculosis, a disease which he thought would be conquered ultimately, given the whole- hearted co-operation of all health- promotion forces. “The medical practitioner of the future must frequently examine people while they are apparently well, in order to detect any incipient depar- ture from the normal, and to teach and urge modes of living conformable to the laws of personal health, and the public health authorities must see to it that environment is in accord- ance with scientific teaching. Chairman of Board of Ry. Commissioners Stricken While Inspecting NB. Farm. HON. FRANK CARVELL DIES VERY SUDDENLY “Medicine in future must change its strategy; instead of awaiting attack it must assume the offensive,” said Sir David. “It must no longer be said that ‘the man was so sick he had to send for a doctor.’ “It may be a long- time before thel : Legislature for Carleton County, esenting that riding one year, n he resigned to contest the same in the Federal Liberal interests. was defeated, but in 1904 he was essful in his election effort and ai‘ned as representative of the 1g until his appointment in 1919 ihairman of the Board of Railwav ssioners‘ meeti effort agree- , Sir Richard Paget Specialist on the legal aspect of the development of inventions, of London and Somerset, who addressed the Bri- [tish scientists on voice production; The memorial, which will take the form‘of a pyramidical stone column, with a bronze tablet suitably inscribed, is to be erected six miles north of Pelly Station, in a National Park to embrace 900 acres.

Dealing with still another subject, Sir David spoke of the need for a better understanding of diet as a means of preventing those diseases due to defective diet. A diet was no longer recognized as complete if it contained proteins, carbohydrates, fats and salts. It had also to contain certain substances which were known The natural fruits of the earth were not deficient in these'iife‘giving substances, but much of civilized man’s food was deficient. “It is only when man begins by artificial means to polish his rice. whiten his flour, and tin his beef and vegetables that the trouble begins," said the president. as vitamins. Without vitamins the other four substances couldneither promote growth nor support life in- definitely. ' Sir David brought his address to a close with an eloquent plea for inter- national coâ€"operation in the field of science. “Science, indeed, knows no boundaries of nations, langhages or creeds. It is truly internationzl. In spite of interruptions, it is the duty of science to go on steadily forward, illuminating the dark places in the hope of better times."

In the case, however, of the many boys who show nolpower or liking for any. spe- cial school subject, their future occu- pation depends often on some chance opening. Banks and other offices are full of such young men, yet many of these would, from their character and physical qualities, be far better suited for the more vigorous and freer life on the land overseas.” BRITISH BOYS ADVISED TO SETTLE ON LAND FRENCH TRQOPS T0 EVACUATE THE RUHR WITHiN YEAR’S TIME ‘given its “full approval” to Premier Herriot’s conduct of the negotiations in London encourages the hope of an early and successful conclusion of the Allied Conference. What decisions the French Cabinet reached are not offi- cially divulged but it is reported here to have agreed to a military evacua- tion of the Ruhr in return for com- mercial compensations, and it is also stated that the French have decided not to insist upon retaining the 4,000 French and Belgian railwaymen after the experts’ plan has been put into iexecution. l In the matter of security Herriot ‘seems to have been helped by the as- surance from MacDonald that no final [Ldecision has yet been taken or would ;be taken in the near future as to the .withdrawal of the British troops from Cologne next January. That appar- ently is to be made dependent on Ger- many’s loyalty in carrying out the experts’ scheme. Exports of dairy products for 1923 from Canada showed an increase in aggregate value of $2,582,374, accord- ing to figures issued by the Govern- ‘ment. This was due to the increase in quantity and value of milk and cream, and large increases in milk powder and condenSed milk expgrts. The total value of dairy products ex- ported in 1923 was $38,345,000, com- pared with $35,812,725 in 1922.
