A Canadian soldier in a hospital
near Bromley, Kent, has thin metal
splinter from an explosive bullet lodged
In his heart. Its presence was dis
closed by x-rays. and for the time be-

life and death for the patient. The pa
tent, who gets about as freely as any
convalescent, feels the splinter much in
tho way that a nail in a boot irritates
the foot. He can not sleep on his left
side, and finds that practically sitting
up In bed all night Is the easiest way
OF getting rest.

Sweden produces less than 10 per cent
and this ratio can not be increased
enough to have any perceptible effect
on the import as whole.
