Milford's Blood Donor Day
has been extended to December
s in order to give another COM
munity the benefit of the motor
unit which will come to Mil
ford ON the day now designated.
Much interest has been arous-
ed sand a number have already
signified their intention to be
a donor. More than twenty
five enlisted men from Fort
Salisbury will be among those
giving for their fellowmen.
Places of honor, or on honor
rolls, will be men who have
been deferred from active SER
vice. After these two groups
will come those men and wo-
men who will be making a gift
along with the rest. There is
something wonderful, and as
Mrs. William Marshall says,
something precious about the
whole idea, that is finding gen
erous response here as in other
towns. Beginning early on Fri
day, the fifth; physician and
nurses will be at Memorial Hos
pital to arrange for and take
yonr gift. The one thing you
must remember is to refrain
from eating four hours or
thereabouts before donating,
but you are allowed plenty Of
water. These are simple rules
to keep before you present
Yourself for your gift for
others. fs

Ragweed Pollen Anywhere

Ragweed pollen throughout the
country in an average season would
form a cone 1,035 feet around the
base and 345 feet high, but the catch
is that the pollen can never be col
lected and the sneeze epidemic will
go right on. A recent research by
a Chicago laboratory and the United
States weather bureau disclosed
that the highest percentage of pollen
was found in Indianapolis, Ind, and
Peoria, Ill, with Seattle, Sacramen-
to, Miami, Reno and Portland, Ore,
with pollen indexes of zero. But ac-
cording to o. C. Durham, Chicago
botanist, pollen can be carried al
most anywhere by high wind. Air
pollen density, according to doc
tors, Is determined by smearing a
sticky substance on a glass slide
which Is exposed to the air. The
number Of grains Of pollen is count
ed at the end of each day and q
basis is established for an index.

American Cheese Will
Stand Aging Long Time

A Welsh rabbit made with good.
old cheese will not give anybody
nightmare.
old" is a relative term in cheese.
Some Of the soft cheeSeS ripen in a
month; some of the hard cheeseS
are at their best only after years in
storage. The United States govern
ment, in its purchases of American.
or Cheddar-type, cheese for distribu-
ton to relief clients, set IA weeks
as the minimum time which this
cheese should age to be fit for hu-
man consumption. But this cheese
will stand aging indefinitely.
The cooking schools have taught
women to appraise food with the
eye. and green cheese does have
nice, clean, bright-looking rind,
whereas aged cheese is rather din
gy-looking.
Then, too, the average American
appears to prefer mild favors; and
green cheese hasn't had time to de-
velop flavor.
Here, however, is a discovery
about an age-old food: ripe cheese
is mild in flavor if kept in temper
ature of As or below. This is posi-
BILE in the modern refrigerator. and
it wasn't possible until the mod
ern refrigerator was invented.
In a few hours out of the chill, it
begins to pick up flavor; in couple
of days out, it is ready to go places;
and after u hours in a warm room
it may take the plate with it.
If you make a mistake and leave it
out too long to suit your taste, no
harm is done: pop it back in the
cold and the strength will subside.
AL cheeses respond more or less
by varying their flavor with various
lengths of exposure to warmth, but
the American responds more relia-
bly,.

Cancer Kills 100 Daily

Stomach cancer is killing nearly
100 persons in the United States ev-
cry day, yet most Of them could be
saved if they would go to their physi-
clans at the first signs Of gastric
trouble, DR.. T. F. Mullen, San Fran
cisco surgeon, asserted.
Making a survey, DR.. Mullen
found records Of only 5000 opera
tons for the removal Of stomach
ulcer In the last so years In the
United States. During that time
l,5OO, 900 deaths have been listed as
due to that particular kind Of mahg.
nancy. His reports appeared in Sur
gerry, Obstetrics and Gynecology,
a medical journal. He is a clinical
surgeon In the University Of Calitor-
mia medical school.
At any given time, DR.. Mullen
said, there are $1,000 persons in the
United States with durable cases
Of stomach cancer.

Chewing GUIDED Carrots
Show Efficiency of Teeth
HoW's YOUR Col?

How's your CO?
That shows your chewing quo
tent?
If you know the answer to that
question you will know how efficient
your teeth are-and whether there
is anything wrong with them.
You can find out through the ex-
pedient of chewing carrots-the
plain everyday raw variety.
You may check your CO. by
chewing cubed carrots and having
the result tested by efficient dental
assistants.
The test is conducted as follows:
First, you chew 10 regulation weight
ed carrots cubed (smaIl size); Sec
ond, you chew them Is times; third,
the residue is emptied into contain
er, rinsed 10 times through a four
inch mesh screen and the residue
weighed; fourth, percentage Of
chewing capacity computed from
original weight of 10 cubes and resi-
due after rinSing 10 times.
The result will show you how good
a chewer you are and more tech
nicary will show the dentist how
efficient your teeth are. Experts
can tell from the test whether your
teeth are hitting on all 80, missing
the mark-or just missing in the
socket!
Here's how you're rated: Extra
good chewing, 80 to 95 per cent;
good, 80 to go per cent; average, rs
per cent; poor, so per cent or below.

Scientists Devise New
Treatment for Insanity

Until about seven years ago, the
pre-frontal lobes of the brain were
the least understood region of the
cerebral hemispheres. With all 9TH
er brain areas recognized for their
specific functions, such as sight and
hearing, or control of the arms or
legs, the pre-frontal lobes remained
uncharted. The silent areas" neu-
rologiStS called them, and save for
the necessary removal of cancerouS
growth, left that part Of the brain
strictly untouched.
Today it is different story. Sci
entiSts have learned that the frontal
lobes are the organs of imagination
and anticipation. They know, too,
that man can get along without the
facilities of this part , his brain.
And through this discovery has come
q new treatment for sufferers from
certain types Of hitherto hopeless in
sanity characterized by pathology
cal forms Of imagination and antici"
patton.
These unfortunates may, in some
cases, be brought back to useful life
by the surgical removal of the from
tai lobes of the brain.
The pre-trontal association areas
Of the brain are concerned with the
future. Thus they are the breeding
place Of worry. The new operation,
called frontal lobotomy by brain sur
geons, is a daring attempt to re-
move the patients cares by the &C.
tual destruction of their organic ORR
gin.

Funeral Services for Napoleon

A remarkable funeral service was
held for Napoleon Bonaparte in St.
Louis cathedral, New Orleans, on
December 10, 1921. Having heard
of the emperor's demise four
months late, group Of French citi-
zens inserted an advertisement In q
local newspaper calling on interest
ed parties to meet for planning
funeral services. 1t read in part:
1T belongs only to a severe and
impartial posterity to determine the
position which Napoleon will occupy
amidst the great men Of ancient and
modern times"
Amidst official frowns, they went
ahead secretly with their plans.
Fogliardi, a distinguished artist of
the day, designed an elaborate ceno-
taph, and on the day Of the funeral
ceremonies it was raised to an
equally impressive catafalque in the
cathedral. A cantata was written
by Davesac, and music composed
by a young Italian. A. c. Collegari,
a newcomer to the city.

'Aniseikonia' Makes One
Appear Less Intelligent

II you have children II may be
worth more than a fortune for you
to learn the meaning of the word
"aniseikonia. The word describes
a newly discovered defect Of the eyes
which causes both children and
adults to appear less intelligent than
they are. AniSeikonia makes it diff
6cult for even those with the highest
native intelligence to understand
clearly what they read and study.
1t is blamed for certain types Of
sick" headaches, for the branding
Of people as neurotics. and even for
hitherto unexplained automobile
and airplane accidents.
Said TO have been discovered at
the Dartmouth Eye institute, Han
over, N. H., this visual handicap re-
lateS to the fact that each eye Of a
considerable number Of persons
sends images to the brain that are
very different in shape as well as
in size. The furious struggle Of the
brain to reconcile these Contradic-
tory images leads to a mental con-
fiict that may explain why that in
dividual is thwarted in ambitions
and becomes a nervous wreck.
Fully as important as the discov-
cry Of aniseikonia is the report that
special spectacle lenses have been
developed which cure the defect.
Tests indicate that as many as !
out Of every 10 college students are
afflicted to some extent with this
heretofore almost insurmountable
barrier to success.
