When there is pain in the abdo- men nothing should be taken. by mouth, and, above all, never a laxa- tive. Pain which persists is usually serious, and the sooner the patient is under proper care the better, be- cause if the condition is appendi- citis, delay is dangerous, as has been clearly shown by the Philadelphia experience. WNQW There were over 18,000 cases stud~ ied. Of the total, approximately 3,000 did. not have a laxative and 1 in 57 died; over 5,000 were given a laxative and 1 in 18 died; 729 had more than one laxative and 1 in 9 died. Those who read these figures will surely never forget that the giving- of laxatives to man, woman or child who has a pain in the ab- domen is the most dangerous thing which can! be done. Johnston & Granston Patients admitted to haspital with- in twenty-four hours of the onset of symptoms had a mortality of less than 2 per cent; between twem‘mâ€" four and forty-eight hours, the mor- tality rose to Over 4 per cent; when the delay was between forty-eight and seventy-two hours, it was near- ly 6 per cent; after seventy-two hours, it reached over 8 per cent. From these figures summarizing the experience of a large city for five years, it is show so clearly; that everyone may understand that the percentage of deaths rises in ratio to the delay in securing proper treatment. The City of Philadelphia has given particular attention to this disease. For five consecutive years, a close study has been made of all appendi- citis deaths occurring in that city in order to determine the factors which contributed to the fatal out- come. At the same time, the De- partment of Public Health carried on an educational campaign in the hope of improving conditions. We should learn from the experience of Philadelphia in order that we may profit by it, and so the findings of the Philadelphia study are present- ed to our readers. APPENDICITIS In one year appendicitis was re- sponsible for over fourteen, hundred deaths in Canada. More people died from appendicitis alone than from typhoid fever, measles, scarlet fever, whoopingâ€"cough and diphtheria all put together. Traffic accidents are of much too frequent occurrence, but the fatalities arising out of such accidents are fewer than those due to appendicitis. Call and enquire why.

Dusk was falling when our driver turned the nose‘of the powerful launch towards» Lausanne and sent the craft skimming over the placid Verlinden was in a sentimental mood. He was dreaming day dreams; the war was bound to be over 'soon; Germany would win of course, and though he was shunned now, he “wouldi come into his own” when Belgium became a German province. There was hatred in his soul and he was planning more betrayals and revenge against those who had shunned and slighted him during the past two years. I was a part of his plans; he was gracious enough to propose marriage; that my money counted) importantly in his calcula- tions would have been obvious to even a woman less deter‘mined than It was a dazzling June day when we alightedi at Lausanne station, my young son and I, laden with lunch baskets and parcels anti took a can to the far end of the Ouchy Quay, where Verlinden was to have pre- ceded us and engaged a launch. I knew of a mooring stage just at that spot, where I had dLrected- him to go, assuring him that he wa‘s sure to findv‘ there the craft we needed. He was at the rendezvous and. the luxurious launch he had secured lefrt nothing to be desired. ‘With squeals of delight my) son darted into the cockpit and “helped the driver to steer.” It soon became apparent to my friends and associates that the- hand- some Belgian had fallen in love with .me and that I was â€" somewhat recklessly â€" encouraging him. The situation was viewed with ‘mixed feelings by those concerned, [but there was some amongst them â€"- namely my immediate chiefs of the Deuxieme Bureau who thought that this development was indeed providential. ' It was then that my son ca’me to me with hi‘s suggestionâ€"that of a picnic on the lake. “Not just a shore lpilcnic, mum-my,” he urged, “but a whole day in a motor launch â€"â€"righxt up to the head of the lake and back.” It was a dazzling June day when How to lure him across the fron- ‘tier became my 'problem. It was not easy. The man knew what await- ed him on the other side and was clever enough to avoid traps. He was safe in German Switzerland and after three years of thrills and ner- vous tension in Belgium, he gave himself up whole-heart-edly to relax- ation, but always with a wary eye on possible snares and amloushes. It was a chance remark of my son, the-m six years old, which gave me the possible solutionâ€"if only it could be worked. Adrian Verlinden was wanted France, where he would 'be m to answer for his crimes. It must be said in all fairness ‘that Adrian Verlinden was a plea- sant and highly intelligent companâ€" ion. That I despised and loathed 'him as much as anylbody else did‘ 'had nothing to do with the matter, since a secret service operative has no right to personal likes or disâ€" likes. Orders are orders, and' mine 'were: “Get Verlinden: at all costs, no matter what you may feel.” It was quite natural thart the man should join the somewhat “bizarre” circle in which I moved. It was less ‘nat-ural, according to my German friends that I should make an al- most daily companion of him and seem to find pleasure in' the asso- ciation. Vet-linden served the occmpation authorities in Belgium but found himself ostracized in: Switzerland by the very people he had served. JusTt as they would: have never dreamed of asking me to work against France $0 they despised» him for the part he had played. He had been 'paid; well and good; but don‘t let him come near the embassy or pre- sume on his past services. But there were other matters which could not be overlooked; Ad- rian Verlinden turned informer on his own people; he became the in- vader’s most valuable bloodnhpund'; even his own flesh was not SJparedY for it happened: that his elder Toro- ther belonged to lshe famous “Dame Blanche” organization and him Ad- rian callousrly betrayed to his death. The Allied services in Belgium had been on his track and had fail-ed to 'bring retribution. Nevertheless, Belgium became “too hot” for him and, one day, he appeared in Swit- zerland. If Adrian Verlind-en. of Antwerp, Belgium had' merely decided to throw in his lot with the German invaders because of sincere convic- tion, there would have been an exâ€" cuse for him. There is such a thing as respecting other people’s genuine sympathies; besides he was really of mixed blood, his mother having been a German. 1938.

A good office woman is more use- ful than amy man, but rnvo wonder. Her job is just housekeeping down:- town. The carriers have presented to the Postmaster-General an outline of *their objectives. This includes a "graded mileage plan, as follows: Up &0 and including the first 15 miles, ‘a flat mileage rate of $55 per mile per year; from 16 up to and includ- ing 35 miles, a graded scale of $40 gto $45 and $50; all mileage over 35 miles, a graded scale of $15, $20 and $25 per mile per year. Isn’t it strange that man whose judgement is sound‘ in all other mat- uters is easily convinced that he is a wonder. The difficulty appears to lie with the present four-year contract sysâ€" tem, with positions going to the low- est bidder. It is a poor argument for the present plan to say that men. will take on the work at such sal- aries. The question is: Does it se~ cure the right type of carrier? The aim is to have this contract system abolished, and “replaced ,by perman- ent employment, dependent only on satisfactory service.” 'who are holding you up. There is likelihood that the re- muneration of rural mail carriers will be up for discussion at the ap- proaching session of Parliament. There is no duestion about its in- adequacy in general for maintenance ,of a family. It is claimed that in some instances the yearly salary of a carrier is as low as $360, and the pertinent question asked is: How can any carrier keep a horse, vehicle and himself on this sum? Other recommendations deal With bonding, pension and sickness con- tributory fund, two weeks’ holidays, ‘and‘ other features that would mean betterment of conditions. The car- riers’ case is presented in a sane and reasonable way, and they volunteer to substantiate all statements made. These rural mail carriers are doâ€" ing' an important public work. No matter what the Weather conditions, they realize that the mails must go through; Vand, where physically pos- sible, they get them through.
