Oats-the Premier Food


A great English educator says that 90
Der cent. of a child's fitness is fixed before
it enters a school. And that fitness de
pends largely on food.
The first place as a food for the years
of growth is given to oats. They are
richer than all other cereals in proteids,
organic phosphorus and lecithin.
Proteids are the body-builders, the tissue
repairers, the energy-givers. Phosphorus is
the most important food for the brain, and
lecithin for the nerves and nerve centers.
No other food is so well-balanCed as oats.
None so well meets the vital requirements
of childhood and adolescence. And no
other food, as a racial food, has bred a
people so hardy as the Scotch. And oat-
meal. with all it's wealth of nutriment, is
among the cheapest, most delicious foods.

Soul and Body.

Some crochety fellow, whose life
radiates about club, is writing to the
Baltimore Sun and poxing fun at the
idea of city-bred man going out to
make living on or 10 acres OF
ground. He says there is more poetry
in a small piece of ground than there
is living out of it. Here is one OF
his thrusts: "That plot of ground
which will give you more radishes
than you can eat will not furnish one
mess of peas Is an unknown quantity
to cityIbred man.
Of course a person must have more
ground than to keep him in radishes.
He should have enough for an aspara.
gus bed, a poultry yard, and a few
acres for corn, beans, potatoes and
such. These will keep body and soul
together, and this is what is badly
needed these days, since it is quite
the habit to Let the soul get away
and go mourning down the swamps,
among the malaria and the mud
snakes.

ASQU|TH'S NAVAL
PLAN CRITICIZED

Berlin, Germany, July 17.-Premier
Asquith's references to Germany's
naval budget in his speech in the
house of commons have made the
question of Anglo-German relations
the foremost topic in the public mind
again, While the premier's EXPIRES
sions of friendly sentiment are geneF-
ally appreciated and are expected to
have good effect, the speech brought
out clearly the firmness of the Ger
man Discrimination TO enter into any
arrangement looking to limitation OF
ornaments.
Except in the limited circles where
the government has always been crit
icised for refusing to take UP the
subject, the opinion generally heard
impractical, owing to technical diff
culties. Germany, it is urged, must
continue to be the sole Judge as to
what naval and military forces 1t
needs for the protection of its inter-
ests.
Irritation is expressed at Mr.. As

DARING KIND OF
BONE SURGERY
USE OF INTERNAL ALUMINIUM
sPLlNTs MAKES FRAc-
TURES EASY.
STRIPS OF METAL SCREWED Dl-
REcTLY TO THE BROKEN
PARTS.

New surgery is calling to its aid
inventive and mechanical skill to
such an extent that its practitioners
will have the facility of craftsmen as
we'll as of professional men, as is
shown in the manipulation of the in
ternal aluminium splints in the treat
ment of fractures. Thus human skele-
tons are repaired while owners wait,
How remarkably this branch of sur
gerry has progressed in recent years
is shown by an article by DR.. William
S. Thomas, of New York in the cur
rent number of the Medical Record.
There are rare cases, especially in
fractures at the ends of the bones Of
the legs or arms, where it is difficult
or practically impossible to get the
broken surfaces together again and
to hold them in place by the time
honored external wooden splints and
bandages. In such cases it is recon-
mended that an operation be per-
formed whereby the surgeon is able
to get at the bones direct and mend
them with strips of metal held in
place by screws. Where there are Sc
we're compound fractures this process
is now being employed to a great ex,
tent

geons to use aluminium, as it can be
worked as easily as required. Cleats
of the proper size are made, holes are

bare and holes are bored into the
fragments.
"a convenient plan," writes DR..
Thomas, lis to use mechanics wire
gauge to measure the calibre of the
screw which has been selected for
use. Then a drill is selected two
sizes smaller.
This screw when driven into the
bone will fit snugly and resist great
force in attempting to dislodge it.
With the plate lying in position bridg
ing the site of the fracture the drill
is put through one of the holes and

1t is maintained that the plates will
remain firm for long time until
the pressure of them is relieved by
the uniting of the bones. 1t is de-
clared that the pure aluminium acts

of blood poisoning is not increased
by this daring bone surgery.
