Baker’s Repair Shop Maple, Qn‘t Very likely you have no particu- lar reason to‘lbe interested in dia- betes but the disease is fairly com- mon and a periodic physical exam- ination will clear up any doubt. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College Street, Toron- to, will be answered personally by letter. No one can attempt to diagnose his own condition, not should anyone attempt to do so. Suspicion, which should send one to his doctor, should be aroused by a persistent thirst and insistent hunger together with the passage of increased amounts of urine, accompanied by loss of Weight and strength; one or more of these is sufficient to justify an investigaâ€" tion. The first signs of diabetes are changes in the urine and lblood which are detected at the periodic health examination, long before the indivi- dual feels any change in himself. At the same time, focal infections or other abnormal states, which should be got rid of by proper treatment, are discovered. There are good reasons why every- one should have a periodic‘health exâ€" amination. Those with a family his- tory of diabetes should never fail to provide this safeguard for themâ€" selves. The early detection of dis- ease is most desirable because it per- mits of early treatment which offers so much to the patient. To know that diabetes has occurred in the family need not arouse any feelings of fear. It should be ac- cepted as a warning to watch, with extra care, the health of the body and so avoid the physical difficul- ties, which otherwise, through careâ€" lessness, might develop. Very likely it will be asked what good‘ is it to know that diabetes oc- curs mu-ch more frequently in the overweight than in the underweight, or that women are attacked more frequently than men, and that the disease appears usually ‘between the ages of forty and sixty. This information is of practical value if it is also known that hered- ity plays a very definite part. In other words, overweight is undesir- able for all adults, but when it is associated with a family history of diabetes, it has much more signifi- cance. THE VALUE OF REGULAR PHYSICAL EXAMINATION No physician would be so foolish as to make a diagnosis» solely on the appearance of his patient. While ap- pearances may be deceiving they are very likely to reveal a, great deal, or perhaps it is fairer to say sug- gest, much of what lies beneath the surface.

He would Ibe sure to find out dif- ferently. She turned to him. They danced a minute before the couples around them joined hands to form a ring. They were drawn into and were swaying to the rhythm and beat of the Big Apple. Sue’s feet slid sideways in the Susie Q and she laughed up at Dan as he sang to the dance tune: Late that night Sue stared into the darkness and planned. ~ The following evening she brought out a dress she had never worn be- fore. _It was red and cut on simple lines that clung to her body and flared out in deep ruffles: at the bot- tom. arm “What makes you think I can dance?

Now she was receiving the kind of rush she had‘ always taken as her due.

According to Agricultural Re- presentative W. M. Cockburn of Newâ€" market, who is Secretary of the Seed Fair, there was a slight reduction in the number of entries due to the exhibits being restricted to 1937 seed. Although last season was a poor seed year, the quality of the exhibits was superior to last year’s Fair. Eighty-five exhibits were lined up in their respective classes, represent- ing thirty exhibitors and the judges had some difficulty in placing some of the larger classes such as late oats with sixteen entries, barley with eleven, fall wheat eight, red clover seven, alfalfa and early oats, six each. During the morning, the High School pupils visited the Fair and in the afternoon, the portion of the hall reserved for seats was filled to capacity «by farmers for the educa- tional programme. President L. P. Evans of Gormley in opening the meeting, thanked all who had c0- operated to make the show a suc- cess and called on W. M. Cockburn to take the chair for the balance of the afternoon. The chief speak- ers were G. A. Scott of the Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, who explained the value of the new mercury dust treatment of seed in controlling many other diseases carried on seed :be- sides smut. R. J. Bryden of the Chemistry Dept. of the Ontario Ag- ricultural College discussed soil fer- tility problems. The judges were Dr. G. P. Mc- lRlostie of the Ontario Agricultural College; W. J. W. Lennox and C. L. S. Palmer of the Dominion Séed Branch, Toronto; and Jas. Laughland of the Ont. Agric. College. Educational displays by govern- ment departments including the Ont. Crops Branch, the Chemistry Dept. of the O.A.C., the Botany Division of the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa and the Can. Seed Growers’ ASSOC. were new features this year. A number of commercial exhibits were also arranged by various com- panies interested in seeds, feeds and fertilizers. The following is the list of a- wards: Class 1â€"Durum or Goose Wheat: 151;, G.
