The other manifesto has an even more definite Bolshevist ring. The peasants of America have fought against the World Court: why not against the part cipation of the United States in Chinese affairs? The World Court means Capital export to Europe; the participation in Chinese affairs means capital export to China." This moving appeal to all the nations represented by battle ships at Canton ends with a vociferous call to

Down with the world imperialism!! Down with the co-operation between of the military clique and the world im- perialist powers? Long live the libera- tion of Chinese toiling masses! Long live the Canton Government!"

CORRESPONDENCE. BRITISH INCOME TAX-

[TO THE EDITOL OF THE "BONGRUNG DAILY PRESS."}

Sir,There xust be many of your readers who are British subjects (and, of course, this includes persons born in the Dominious and Colonies) who have money invested in England.

Ir

I feel sure few of them are aware that they are entitled to reclaim a part-at least-of the heavy British income tax deducted from their dividends, mortgage interests or other income which has been taxed in the United Kingdom.

|

Prior to April, 1920, very few persons resident abroad could reclaim tax from the British Inland Revenue, but since that date, practically every British sub- ject living abroad has the right to get back a part of the tax suffered by bira in respect of his British-income.

Many of my personal friends living abroad have been able to recover suma running into hundreds of pounds and I would advise any of your readers who suffer from the tax to look closely into the matter. In these days of bad trade, heavy expenses and high income tax, no one can afford to neglect the recovery of a tax that hits everyone so hard. I am, Sir, yours faithfully,

The Magistrate expressed regret and said he did not mean to. hamper Mr. Bonnett in the conduct of his case.

Mr. G. Bird, in charge of the Dockyard police, said that he was informed that The second bosun of the ship had given nstructions to the second-defendant to do the job. When he went on board the, vessel to and the second bosun he was missing and had not since been seen.

The Chief Officer of the vessel (Mr. Blondianing) told the Magistrate that the membera of the craw had no authority over the dockyard employés and they had no right to give them orders and in this particular the hosun had no more author aty than anybody else.

The discovery of insulin is an interest- ing scientific incident. Dr. Banting, was teaching and practicing medicine in a small city in western Cannda. Although only twenty-eight years old, he delved into many of the serious scientific pro- blems of his profession. The idea came to him that by following a certain scienti fie procedure he could isolate from the pancreas, or sweetbreads, of animals the active principle which it was known to contain, and which was known to control the utilization of sugar in he metabolism or building up of body tissues. With this idea in mind Dr. Banting returned to his alma mater, the University of Toronto, and presented his idea to Dr. J. J. R MacLeod, professor of the department of physiology.

After having been assured that his idea was well worth trying in a laboratory way, he set to work with the asssistance of Dr. C. H. Best, in the laboratory of Dr. MacLeod, and after several months, succeeded in obtaining a preparation made from the pancreatic gland of animals which would prevent sugar from appearing in the urine of diabetic animals. Considerable difficulty was ex- perienced at first in producing a prepara tion of Insulin sufficiently pure for thera- peutic use, but this was finally accom- plished by Drs. Banting, Best and J. B. Collip. To all these men, and in addi- tion the clinical group in Toronto who supervised its use in hospital cases, is They due a world's debt of gratitude. have added new lustre to the crown of science.

It has been anid that the discover of insulin and its application in the treat- ment of diabetes is the greatest develop- Dent in medicine io fifty years. In less than two years hundreds of lives have been saved, and thousands of diabetic sufferery have been so improved that they were able to resume their normal ways of life. Many children doomed to die within three to five years, have had their little lives indefinitely prolonged.

Like many valuable agents for good, insulin may also produce harmful effects if improperly given. It is for this reason that insulin should never be used except under the direction of a physician. Its use is indissolubly connected with the use of proper diet. No patient should receive insulin who does not understand the prin- ciples of dietetic treatment in the disease diabetes. No patient who is unwilling to weigh and measure foods and their proper relation to the administration of insulin, should be permitted to use this product, the scientists say. Throughout the world many clinics have been founded and to these clinics physicians are" invited to learn the best methods of administering this new product. Its administration is not difficult, simply requiring attention to diet and close control of the insulin dosage.

Dr. Banting and his associate scientists impress this one point on all with whom they discuss the curative powers of in- salia-the diabetic patient who endea vours to treat himself without the aid and advice of a competent physician makes a mistake that may have unhappy results. The safe, effective way is the physicians'
