A report of a committee of the Combined Food Board, issued recently, gave the information that "further reductions in the United Kingdom diet would give rise to apprehension about possible effects on the work output health, and morale of the civilian population." The "Outbreak" of Peace ... With rumors, reports and events, pointing to the possibility of an end to the Japanese war earlier than most had dared hope, the nation finds itself none too well prepared for an "outbreak" of peace. Too many of the measures designed to cushion the shock and provide an orderly change-over from a war to a peace economy either await consideration or are stalled. Some fear the men who would do the planning or would carry out the program. That was an under-, standable reaction of conservative thinking when there was a sharp turn to the left at the depths of the depression. But one does not have to approve everything that has been done to observe that the more frantic fears should be dispelled by now. The same men who man the federal government, whether all of the. nation likes all of them or not, are going to have to carry out either the haphazard product of diverse and often conflicting pressures, or some sort of considered and integrated policy. The economic dislocations of war are too great to permit expectation that all the pieces will fall neatly and automatically into their old accustomed places at the sudden coming of peace.

VALUABLE MEDICAL DOCUMENTS TORONTO, Aug. 2 tB More than 32,000 medical volumes, ranging from the writings of Hippocrates to original manuscripts by the late Sir Frederick Banting, and Dr. Charles H. Best in which they announced their discovery of insulin, are housed In the Toronto Academy of Medicine Library at Queen's Park here. Visitors to the library may see Irreplaceable volumes such as a 13th century medical manuscript In Latin shorthand on sheepskin with black and red in lettering still distinct. Among the library's prized documents is a first edition of a book by Dr. Edward Jenner, discoverer of smallpox vaccination, who announced In 1789 results of his experiments -with cow-pox vaccine. In a foreword to his first edition, Dr. Jenner denounced as unhealthy the "lap dog" fad practised by wealthy socialites of the day. High 118th century living, Dr, Jenner complained, resulted in man's familiarizing himself "with a great number of animajs which may not originally have been Intended for his associates." "The Wolf, disarmed of ferocity is now pillowed in the lady's lap. The Cat, the 'little Tiger of bur Island, whose natural home is in the forest, is equally domesticated and'ear-assed." Most carefully preserved treasure is the hand-written, original manuscript of Sir Frederick and Dr. Best announcing their discovery of insulin In treatment for diabetes. The announcement was- made to the Academy Feb-7 1922, with Dr. Banting reading the paper and Dr. Best showing slides to illustrate various points.

Justifiable Criticism Many of our townspeople are criticizing some local merchants for their catering to the tourist trade, particularly in those commodities that are either rationed or in short supply in their own country.

A l'at On The Back One day last week a visitor with an observing eye stopped to tell John Lunn, the man who has charge of keeplng our streets clean and clear of debris, how nice the Kentville streets looked.
