Sugar
ERHAPS the greatest
PE
blow 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 can fly without a "plane.
Proved By Tests INDER the auspices of the German War Department it was proved conclusively that nothing repairs exhaust- ed energy so well as sugar.
It was found that the sub- jects of the experiments were rapable 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 traco 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- gelar 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 warding off fatigue than sugur.
Consumed in fairly large quan- titles it nets rapidly, but its full effect takes place some two hours afterwards.
'Selentile experiments carried out with the aid of the ergograph -an Instrument for registering accurately variations of muscular power-show that suger gives an Increase of physical energy rang- ing from 00 to 75 per cent.

Anyone used to army life knows that after a fatiguing day in the field or in training there is natural craving by tired soldiers for Jam, very sweet tea or coffee, and other commodities rich in their sugar content.
In the Great War it was noticed that during mountainous cam palgas the men who withstood the strain longest and who accomplish- ed: themselves the most were those who took sugar in fairly large and frequent doses.
VIEWING the British Empire
and the United States to
vendors of sweets, fruit, and "hokes-pokey" is that there is less drunkenness.
It is not unlikely that the almost universal, and devouily to be thankful for, lack of craving for alcohol in women and children is due largely to the sweet tooth possessed by them and their indul- gence la fruit, ice-cream, and sweetmeats generally.
To some extent the same condi- tions apply to men.

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. It was during the last world war that oxygen came medic- ally. into its own-when Professor Haldane used it with sucecas 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 diminished (as in pneu- monia, or collapse of a lung lobe) the amount 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 in such widely varying diseases. If given early in pneumonia the patient will be comfort- nbly tided over the period that must clapse 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

In war-time oxygen therapy holds a unique position. It not only prevents shock, but helps to

We have to thank aviation a good deal for the focusing of medical interest on oxygen problems. It was realised early that both "pilot error" and neroneurosis 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 severo in- somnia. Both are avoided today by the use at high alti-

A great deal of refinement has come about in the mode of administering oxygen since ' the last war. Today we have oxygen rooms, oxygen tents, "spectacle frames" carrying Ane metal air-tubes that end in cycle valve tubing, one or two inches of which enter each nostril. We have a transparent mask covering part of the face.
And we have the B.L.B. mask.

It is a simple rubber apparatus fitting either over the nose (in which case 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.
