Butter froxn Canaxaa.

The London Times, commenting on the difference in quality of the butter from Australia, New Zealand and Can ada, says: "Tn Canada the government authorities appear adverse to the use of boron compounds, which if used in proper quantities. are perfectly ln- nocuous to the health, if not even bene- fcial. Their use has now been legal ized in the United Kingdom, and they possess marvellous powers of preserving butter from undergoing any deteriorat- ing change for many months"

Thursday afternoon Doctors Ghsw
and Upton were called to the hone ue
Mr.. and Mrs. l. R. Allen to diagnose
the illness of their daughter, Lenore.
The child had been complaining tor.
day or two Of pain in her stomach.
but the parents had little thought Of
serious illness. The doctors, however.
said a clear case Of appendicitis had
developed. and they advised an oper.
alton as soon as possible. According
ly, Lenore was removed to the Sani-
tarium, and that evening the operation
was performed by Doctors Shaw, Tip
and and Smith. 1t was found that
the appendix was much swoolen and
infiamed The doctors agreed that.
had the operation been delayed even
a few hours. the child's life could nor
have been saved.
Lenore rallied splendidly from the
operation and has been gaining rap.
idly eyer since. The verdict now is
that, unless some unforeseen compli-
cations set in, recovery is ceriein. The.
case illustrates the importanee Of an
early operation IN cases Of a,sens!c!.
