Winning The War On Sugar
ERHAPS the greatest
Pblow to
war trodden
Europe is that the British blockade has cut her off from plentiful supplies of sugar. And you can no more win a war without sugar than you con fly without a 'plane.
Proved By Tests UNDER the auspices of the
it
German War Department was proved conclusively that nothing repairs exhaust- ed energy so well as sugar.
It was found that the sub- jects of the experiments were capable of much longer and harder training when, sugar was administered to them than the men who were com- pletely deprived of their sugar ration.
For example, soldiers who had great difficulty in getting their breath after prolonged fatigue of hauling heavy can- non uphill and into position, were quickly put right and freed from every trace of giddiness and faintness when sugar was administered, or when prescribed quantities of sugar were included in their _daily_food.
It was also discovered that battalions of men used to a re- gular ration of sugar had no need to take aperients, or con- siderably to lessen the need for them, even when the roughest fare of the army was meted out.
Effect In Two Hours
Sugar and muscular power go hand in hand. Most experts now agree that there is no better way of wording off fatigue than sugar.
Consumed in fairly large quand Eitles it nets rapidly, but its full effect takes place some two hours afterwards.
Scientifle experiraents carried out with the aid of the ergograph wan Instrument for registering accurately variations of muscular power-show that sugar gives an increase of physical energy rang- ing from 60 to 75 per cent.
Anyone used to army life knows that after a fatiguing day in the ileld or in training there la a natural craving by tired soldiers for jam, very sweet tea or coffee, and other commodities rich in their sugar content.
com.
In the Great War it was noticed that during mountainous palgns the men who withstood the strain longest and who accomplish- ed themselves the most were those who took sugar in fairly large and frequent doces.
VIEWING the British Empire

and the United States gether, ono celebrated physician asserted that the Increased' height and weight of men of these two countries in the last half-century are chiefly due to the increased consumption of sugar,
He cited in confirmation of hla opinion the spleridki health of the date-eating Arabs and the sugar- eating negroes.
Another point often lost sight of by the inan in the street is that the more sugar you consume the less Inclined to drunkenness you become,
The first thing that strikes European on landing. In another country wherein there is an abun- dance and multiplicity of candy atores, Ice-cream þárlours, and
vendors of sweets, fruit, and hokey-pokey" is that there is less drunkenness.
It is not unlikely that the nlmost universal, and devoutly to be thankful for, lack of craving for alcohol in women and children la due largely to the sweet tooth possessed by them and their indul-
fruit, in gence
Ice-cream, and sweetmeats generally,
To some extent the same condi- tions apply to men.

THE French have for a long time
been experimenting with sugar in wound dressing, and no successi ful has been the outcome that sugar has now been added to the list of feld dressings during war- Lime.
Not only have French experts found that sugar is invaluable in the Forces for medicinal treatments because it preserves the cells, but it furnishes a nutriment or nutrient element not possessed by more costly treatments.

While it is not claimed sugar can be used on every possible occasion, and while other saccharine sub- stances sometimes had to be made use of, it was proved that pure cane sugar or best beet sugar was a better preventive of putrefaction and contamination by microbes than a number of medical antiseptics.

'ONE of the most famous wine merchants in France walked out of Bordeaux on June 17. a week before his country collapsed, and left behind £500,000 worth of the choicest French wines.
That is why, in about a year's time, there will be no good claret white winca. Even the cheaper wines will disappear.

doctors the word oxygen
T has almost a magical ring,
for the uses of the gas are becoming so varied and of such practical importance that oxygen therapy is ranked nowadays among the foremost remedies in medicine.
And this progress has taken place during the last 25 years. I was during the last world war that oxygen came medic- ally into its own-when Professor Haldane used t with success for gassed lung
cases.
It is an established. fact that oxygen is necessary for all the vital functions of our system. The life-giving gas reaches our body cells through the lungs and via the blood- stream. But in conditions where the circulation is feeble (as in shock), or where the nerating capacity of the lungs is diminislied (as in pneu- monin, or collapse of a lung tobe) the
mount of available oxygen for the body cells is obviously bound to drop.
This fact helps us to under- stand how oxygen therapy today can be so beneficial în such widely varying diseases, If given early in pneumonia the patient will be comfort- ably tided over the period that must elapse before the specific remedies of sulphanilamide and typed serum can produce their effect. Many other lung conditions are alleviated by repeated oxygen inhalations. Severe asthma sufferers will learn with interest that the inhalation of oxygen (plus about 80 per cent of the inert gus, helium) has been found capable of arresting attacks resistant to the usual drugs.
In the famous Mayo Clinic in America inhalations of oxygen are used as a restorá- tive immediately after all. severe surgical operations. Certain intense headaches (including a particular type of migraine) vanish speedily under the same treatment. And even chronic leg ulcers have healed under the In-

fluence of oxygen-due to better aeration of the sodden tiasuca.

In war-time oxygen therapy holds a unique position. It not only prevents shock, but helps to overcome it with speed. Coupled with blood transfusion, it may save life in severe hemorrhage. In ab- dominal surgery, the inhala- tion of 100 per cent, oxygen enables the surgeon to dis- cover what extent of injured, gut is alive and may safely be
left in the abdomen. Against tetanus and gas gan- grene oxygen proves a useful, weapon, as neither of the mic- robes causing these illnesses can flourish in well-oxygen- ated tissues. But the supreme war-time use is now as it was in the last war-a successful barrier to the ravages of various poison gases.
We have to thank aviation a good deal for the focusing of medical interest on oxygen problems. It was realised carly that both "pilot error" and aeroneurosis were the result of oxygen lack at high altitudes. The former (to which a high percentage. of air.accidents were attributed) showed itself in indecision and clumsiness-at still higher altitudes cramps occurred, followed sometimes by death. Aeroneurosis covered a state of emotional instability, in- tense fatigue and severe in- somnia. Both are avoided today by the use at high alti-

COLLECTORY INTERNAL REVENDE
"I'd like to help you, sir, but i can't afford if on my
salary-you're the 10th ona in the last
me for carfare home!" or who's asked
tudes of oxygen masks for pilot and passengers, or in the case of certain air-liners, by the liberation of oxygen in the interior of the plane.
A great deal of refinement has come about in the mode of administering oxygen since the last war. Today we have oxygen rooms, oxygen tenis, "spectacle frames" carrying fine metal air-tubes that end in cycle valve tubing, one or two inches of which enter each nostril. We have * transparent mask covering part of the face. And We have the B.L.B. mask.
This mask, designed by the Americans, Drs Boothby and and Lovelace,, and Mr Bul- bulian,
simplifies oxygen therapy and reduces its cost considerably. It is a simple rubber apparatus fitting either over the nose (in which ense talking and eating can be indulged in), or covering both nose and mouth. It is.at- tached to a rubber re-breath- ing bag that saves.oxygen and allows both patient and nurse to notice at a glance if all is not working well. An attached meter registers the flow of oxygen (varying from about 3 to 6 litres per minute according to the requirements of the case). Three air-vents permit varying concentrations of inspired oxygen--when- all three remain closed the patient receives 90 per cent, of pure oxygen.
It has been calculated that the cost of keeping a patient on oxygen therapy by means of this mask works out in the neighbourhood of 12s. per day -a small sum for such valu- able_assistance. It is com- forting to know that these handy and useful masks (an well as other forms) are being manufactured on a large scale in our islands.
Blind Student's Wish
ABILENE, Tex. When 19- year-old, A. J. Bell Jr., totally blind since he was 14, entered Hardin-Simmons university he wanted to be "one of the boys."
But everybody tried to help him "too much," Finally, he talked from. the rostrum to as- sembled students in a daily chapel hour.
"Now look here,” he said, “I'm just one of you. I don't want to be treated as if I am handicapped or crippled and I don't want pity, as 1 don't need it.
Guided By Trained Dog
"I'm going to school with sighted students and I'm going to be one of you."
Guided from classroom to classroom by "Becks," his trained dog, he is now one of the most popular stu- dents to the university, He-is-top- notch in studies, too, taking classroom notes in Braille and transcribing therm lafer.
Majoring in music, he's near the head of his class and plays first violin in the Hardin-Simmons symphony.or- chestra, which'makes a weekly radio broadcast.
Memory Is Quick
"He learns by ear, takes notes In Braille and memorizes music quick- 17,' says Herbert M. Preston, orchestra conductor, who adds that Bell has f'a perfect musical enr "un
