Believed to Have Beneficial Effect.in
Case of Anaemia, }
Liver diet as a treatment for anae-|
mia was discussed by th Canadian |
and Ontario Medical Association in|
conyention at Tcronto. |
Dr. F. J. Campbell, of London, On-
tarlo, read a paper which concluded
that the feeding of liver, whether
from beef, calves, sheep, or pigs, has
been proved very successful in com-
bating pernicious anacmia. He point |
ed out that as the duration of this dis-
ease is from five to ten years, it was
too early to say that liver feeding
was a cure. Results, however, after
one year’s experiment, were very
promising.

Largely through Kissinger’s sacri-

In return for this, he was granted

Method of Detecting
Artificial Diamonds

X-Ray Analysis Has Proved to Be
Most Rapid

Diamond fakes and how to detect
them is the subject of an interesting
article which appeared In the Popu-
lar Pictorial from the pen of Elaine
Bickerstaffe.

It is difficult to say when the dia-
mond ¥ first discovered, but it ha
always been desirable to man — and]
woman-kind—and in days gone by
marvellous virtues were attributed to
the sparkling gem.

It was believed to have power to
avert insanity, and also to render poi-
sons harml It was also regarded
ag the stone of reconciliation between
man and wife, which is perhaps not
aliogether an ancient idea,

But with this stone with
many others, faking has been reduced
in the course of time to a very fine
art.
| Numerous attempts have been made

as 60

}to produce the diamond artificially by
chemical means, which are of great
| interest scientifically on account of
the great mystery that for a long

Constructing Large Elevator
New Building at Port Arthur for
U.G.G. of Canada

Work has begun on the construc-
tion of a 5,500,000 bushel elevator for
the United Grain Growers of Canada }
ata cost of $2,000,000. and is to be
completed by February, 1928. This
elevator will be the largest single
working elevator, constructed in one
unit, in the world. The building wil
measure 600 feet by 1,400 feet. It will
be an all-concrete structure with 500
concrete storage tanks. Adjoining it
will be a dock 1.000 feet long.

An Anclent Custom

Ostracism was a method employed
by the ancient Athenians of banish-
ing citizens whose influence was con-
| sidered prejudicial to the state. A day
|for yoting was fixed when the people
wrote on small earthen tablets or
|shells the names of those whom they
wished banished. Six thousand votes
were necessary to drive a man into
exile. To ostracise today means to
ignore, to exclude from a certain 80
cial circle.

If a woman has-a really good hus-
band the neighbors always say he is
henpecked.

Every great man does things on
the quiet that would make him feel
quite small if they were found out.

fiachinery in producing the world’s
