look for the quinine supply. Nearly
100 per cent Of the supply Of quiz
nine for the world came from the
Dutch East Indies. II this supply
were shut off, it would have a very
serious effect.
Over most Of the continental
area Of North America it would
have no special effect, but in our
Southern states we still have to
combat malaria with quinine and
in combat troops in the Canal Zone
and in the tropics anywhere the
possibility of a malaria epidemic
is very imminent and it might be
very serious if quinine were not
available.
Dutch Monopoly
The Dutch handled the quinine
monopoly as a monopoly, but with
very enlightened humanism. They
did not allow the cultivation of
cinchona trees, from which quinine
is obtained, to die out, as happened
in Ceylon where it was abandoned
for more profitable crops.
In 1913 the Dutch Government
issued an agreement which had to
do with the regulation of prices
and the distribution of quinine
which has resulted in a very even
distributid0 throughout the civil
lized world at very fair price. 1t
is hardly possible to suppose from
what we know of the Japanese that
they will continue so humanitari-
an an agreement.
No Shortage Imminent
However, the quinine situation
| am informed by an authoritative
source is quite favorable for sew
eral years to come. About two
years ago the Government began
accumulating quinine for the
Army and Navy on a very large
scale. The amount of this is a mil
itary secret, but the opinion exists
that this reserve stock of qulnine
will be ample for two or three
years.
No Shortage for Some Time
Manufacturing chemists have
matched the foresight of the Gov
eminent and now have very con-
siderable stocks. There is no real
danger Of a quinine shortage for y
some time to come.
For the far future, it is possible
that the quinine industry can be
developed in South America. It is
curious that the first place quinine
was ever found was in South
America and that it has fallen be-
hind so completely in production.
The wild banks in South Amer
lea are too low in quinine content
to be worth extraction, except in a
real emergency, but some attempts
have been made TO match the
Dutch cultural methods. In Co
lombia there is being grown a
quinine bark which is Of good
quality and high content, and this
may be developed into a supply
sufficient 70 meet our need for all
time in the future.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A. G.:-"What are the symp-
toms of calcium deficiency? What
are the symptoms of too much cal
cium in the system?"
Answer: Calcium deficiency in
young people causes ricketts,, a di-
sease in which there is softening Of
the bones. In adult life calcium
deficiency does not affect bones
because they are already formed,
but it causes a .spasm of the mus
cles known as tetany. Bad teeth
are also ascribed to calcium de-
fciency. There is no definite sign
of too much calcium in the tissues.

sentimentality. But at the first sound her
mother would come in. And she wanted to
keep her out.
There were two things she must tell
her mother and she didn't want to tell
them: I've had raise and I've got date.
Why shouldn't be glad to tell her? But
at the thought of it, something inside her
closed.
She put her hands on the keys, began to
play softly, and her mothers quick step
sounded in the kitchen. The swing door
swung; the steps crossed the dining room.
