Mr. Dunning at this time would be to take issue with the mandate given by the people, and would serve no useful purpose.”

One ot the largest and most jovial gatherings of many years was at the tra“ ditional New Year’s Day reception of the St. Andrew’s Society of Ottawa, in Albion Hall, between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. Wed- nesaa\-. It was the 90th reception of the society.

W. A. Rankin, the president, was ia charge of the arrangements and through- out the two hours there was singing and brief speeches, all appropriate to the day and of special interest to Scotsmen. Mr, Rankin pointed to the increased attend- ance, and to the happier atmosphere pre- valent as speaking well for the new year, both for the society and its members generally.

There were many callers from sister societies, and cordial greetings extended. Customs which are always a part of the receptions of the society were faithfully followed and it was apparent that those whose thoughts are often turned towards the north of the Tweed found much to make them very happy in being part of a large and friendly reunion.

After Mr. Rankin had welcomed the guests. Pipe-Major Allan Saunders opened the program with Sergeant William Brand, M.M., as the pipe soloist.

Master Donald Sandeman, Mss. J. D. Robertson and Mrs. George Lyon, con- tributed songs to the program. Greetings were extended by past presidents Colonel J. A. Gillies and Captain W. P. Grant» T. P.

DALKEITH

Ibe Ollawa Spolllgbl (By Wilfrid Eggleston)

Ottawa, December 31st.—A popular pastime among the commentators at this season of the year is to look back over the 12 mouths just past and try to predict from th© general trend of tho times, what the coming year is likely to bring. Ever sinee the de- pression began, prophets have arisen from time to time to say that “pros- perity is just around the corner” and some of the rosy predictions issued on the 1st of January in the years 1930, 1931, 1932, make pathetic read- ing now. Instead of things rapidly getting back’ to the levels of 1928

and 1929, they rapidly and emphati- cally grew ■worse.

Perhaps that is why tho forecasts this year ar© a little mor© sober and cautious. It is quite true that mea- sured by the usual standards, the year 1935 sa'v a substantial move- ment toward better times. It is also true that indications mainly point to- ward a continuation of tho same up- ward trend. But there is no lodger any easy optimism that unemployment will soon be a thing of the past^ or that budgets will easily balance, or that the standard of living of the masses will quickly rise to a more res- pectable level. Alost observers now are pleased to feel that the movement will at least continue upwards.

CUTTING THE FUEL WOOD

Farmers who are fort.unate enough to own. a

Be ideal seasb'n for ^.îig-th’^bi?iît,^s;^e ground is frozen and

' Is-usually very l'H-tletsnow. Before starting the work if wbuld be. advisable

to look over the woodlot, and decide the location of the season’s operations. The future should al- ways be considered in woodlot management, as the cùtting done i now will determine the composition and value of the woods 10, 50 and lOQ years hence.

_ji Owners who have not fenced part of ^ their bush from rtbek should consider the advisibilitv of doing so, as' the' value and offen the preservation pf the woodlot depends on whether stock are shut

(but, as small seedlings and saplings of deciduous trees tmaple, ash, beech, etc.) will be browsed and the evergreens will b ebroken by .shôek. The fence might he ébnstruèted in the winter by utiliz- ing the trees as posts. The wire should be fastened to strips that are nailed to thej trees.

The fuelwood could be,, cut from the part that is left in with the pasture- Often the fuelwood may be eiit an^. woodlot left in! better growing . condi- tion if care in selectirig trees is taken. Large trees that^ aîre interfering and holding back. promising young might wisely '’be. removed. Defective trees should be'Utilized, as ofteh their value is decreasing. The less valuable specieS (weeds) ' suqh as ironwood, blue beech, poplar, pin cherry should be largely eliminated from the .'^ood lot, as they will if left continue to seed up the bush and take up space that might be growing valuable white ash, ^ sugar maple, pine, spruce, etc. i

The trees are generally too crowded in a se- cond-growth stand. Â thinning that removes defec- tive, crookej weed trees and trees that arq shad- ed by their more vigorous neighbors would result in a marked improvement of the woods. These polewood stands are often clean-cut for fuelwood when a judicious thinning would yield fuelwood and'incféasè 'the value of the woods.

If tfee owner is not doing the cutting himself he should )hark the trees that are to be cut by blazing or daubing them with paint. Care in felling is very necessary, as, the small trees have a high, potential value- -

FEED OFTEN CAUSES OFF-FLAVORMILK

1 Coniplaints received in the dairy division of the State' Experiment Station, geneva,'N.Y., from milk plants relative to disagreeable feed flavors in the milk being brought in byi' their patrons have led to a statement on the subject by the station dairy specialists. Such complaints are conimon at this season of the year and the trouble can gener- ally be traced to faulty methods of feeding, it is said.

“One of the . chief causes of feed Eavors in Milk in the late fall is

/ ' the ' use of a large amount of cabbage and cabbage leaves,’’ says the statement. “This material imparts an unusually strong flavor and

■wl'.;! CARCASS GRADING OF HOGS

IMPROVES STANDARD

While it is true that there has been a marked im- provement in recent years 'in the quality of hogs sent to the markets throughout Canada, the fact 'remains the standard of quality could be substan- tially improved as the following figures d'isclosp ; In 1934 out of a total of 3,025,161 hogs marketed only 576,951 or 19-1 per cent'were selects; 42.5 per cent were bacons and 38.4 per cent were butchers or lower grades, A considerable numimr of the selects were found unsatisfactory for- export owing to bruises, soft or oily carcasses and other defects. The marketing of low' quality hogs and of those bruised soft, oily or diseased means a substantial loss to f8.rmers, ■ >1 ' .

One of the most effective ways to bring about the desired impro.vement in the quality ^of hogs of fered ;pn the markets isi by grading tbe hogs after they have been killed, known as rail or Icarckss grading. Every country except Ca,nada exporting bacon to the' British' market, has adopted this mod ern system of grading. Apart altogether from the fact that hogs' can bh graded more efficinetly ,after they are killed, carcass grading discloses othes- points that, have an effect on the industry

For example,! every year there is a heavy.loss incurred as a result of carcasses that are wholly or partially condemned fey the veterinary inspectors of the Health of Animals Branch, Dominion Depart ment of Agriculture, due to infection or disea,s By the carcass ' system of grading, infected or dii eased hogs, and those with soft eafeasses or other defects can be segregated and traced back to the point .dÇi oî^gin.

of AgfristfltUre is convinced thapîfehis improved-sys tern ofgrading is a deeided contribution to the im- proveiAent of the hog industry- All packing plants ,in Eastern Canada are. now acqepiing hogs for car cass 'grading. While it was 'only introduced iri the Maritime Provinces in May, 1935, it has become generally accepted for in November , of this year, 93 per cent of all hogs sold to packing plants were graded bn the rail. In Ontario approximately 100,-. 000 hogs have been graded‘iii T 935 by this system. Any farmer who prefers to market his hogs graded after they are killed merely has to instruct his ship- per, drover or trucker accordingly.

N.B. BREEDER LEADS ^ ' EGG LAYING CONTEST

To have bred the winning pen irl a Provincial Egg Laying Contest is a worthy achievement- Cor- respondingly more noteworthy- is it to lead ovqr all Canadian contestants. At the completion of the 1934-35 egg laying contest, when the last egg was weighed and counted, in all of the contests in Can- ada, and when the records from all of these con- tests were assembled at contest headquarters, it developed that the- pen of Barred Rocks owned by G. M. Grieve ,of Harvey Station, N.B., had to their credit 2,521 eggs and 2931.4 points. As this was the highest. production for Canada, naturally Mr. Grcive’s pen was officially declared the winning pen and Mr. Grieve immediately became talked about in poultry circles-

Officials connected with the contest advise, “®rket by more attractive marketing that the Grieve pen of birds tvon, due to their steady persistent perfortnance week after week. These birds were vigorous, healthy, and of course, bred for performance;.v Therefore, they were able to stand up to the 51 weeks’ grind of steady produc- tion that was required of them to win over all Canadian contestants.

Mr. Grieve is' of Scotch descent, operates his one-hundred acre farm as a Dominion Illustration Station, and shortly after' its establishment in 1925, became interested in poultry as a source of revenue in his farm organization- Mr Grieve’s bént has al- ways been crops. He demainds of his soil good yields of hay, grain and roots, and has ever been alert to carry on comparative fertilizer trials and studies in order to learn more in regard to'' soil fertility, cultivation, and anything that would promote in- creased production. He has a pen of Barred Rooks in the present contest at the Fredericton Experi- mental Station, and they are apparently as indus- trious woi-kers as their predecessors.

ID HID Edilor of" Journal

PEGMICEHS’ SLANT Editor Ottawa Farm Journal:—

Tliat wag a very interesting address of Mr. P. M. Dewan’s, M.I/.A., Oxford County, which waa published in Farm Journal of Dec. 13.

In commenting on Mr. Dewan'a rea- soning will say I concur generally but do take exception to para- graph on bonusing. Practically all industries in Canada today are bonus: ed through tariffs an added tax to consumer. Eecently thé wheat produ- cer wag proteoied and rightly so by a pegged price for wheat and in which, legislation we*,generally concur was' necessary.

I contend that our traditional and legitimate cheese industry can take care- of the surplus milk of Canada to better advantage now and in years to come than aiw other milk branch and is entitled to protection. A peg ged prt'ce for cheese covering cost of production -plus a reasonable pr^t even involving.^the ^sum ■ of a -few yluV lion dollars (a mere drop in the btti/- St'as ftfr as Fédéral spending goes J would bring prosperity back to. the whole ' dairy industry and contribute largely to Dominion prosperity.

Possibly there are'leaks in the pre- sent system of, marketing cheese and and while co'-toperative ' marketing would help some it would take years to build up a real selling agency and I reiterate that'lïbo muo.h stre'ss at pre- sent. îa feeing laid OÛ better market- ing.

Kow with a fair pegged price for quality cheese milk which I estimate at $1.26 per 100 pounds farmers would stay with the;,cheese factory and leave

Dewan’s add^’css to which Mr. Marjer- ison referig in the first of his let- ter was as follows:

There is of course, always the possibility of bolstering the cheese in- dustry by means of a Government,, bon us. This method has several objection- able features. It is using public money to subsidize a particular industry. It establishes a precedent and opens the way for similar demands from other industrie. Furthermore, the necess- ity for à bonus is m my.opinion an ad- miistsion. that- economically there is something wrong within the industry itself. . And. if the industry is one which has a legitimate right to existence, it. should be so organized that it can prosper yrithout any sacu assistance. At best, a system of Gov

ernment bonusing can only be justi- fied as a temporary or emergency mea- sure. It cannot be accepted as a per- manent remedy. ' . *

Bambino Statue Painting Attributed to St. Luke

In Jerusalem, centuries ago. says the Milwaukee Journal, a Franciscan lay brother carved a figure of the Holy Child out of a piece of live wood from the garden of Oetliseinane. When it Was'finished a great despair fell upon film, because he did not understand the use of 'pigments, and the Hainhino need- ed the toloring of childhood to make It perfect. ;.„A.fter long, hours of fasting and' prayer the brother fell asleep,'and (heu Wa unseen hand pt#med trie statue with Iffelike colors. When he awoke he knew at once that St. Luke, the Holy Family’s ch’osen paiiiter. had come In answer to his prayer and given his art to beautify the Hgiire.

À statue so favored must have the choicest placé. On the ('apipdine hill ip Rome, on the site of the ancient citadel and the temple of .Tuno Moneta. is the Franciscan chirich of San Maria in Ara (Joell. Close by is the spot wft4re^/th'e Emperor Augustus satsr the Blessed Virgin upon an altar lii heaven —and from this vision the Ohurch de- rives its name. Tenderly the lay broth- -er wrapped the ^precious statue, care- fully made It ready for the voyage from Palestine to Rome, anxiously be- sought the ship’s captain to bring it safe to land. The ship was wrecked^ in’ ‘a stonrt, but the good angels watched over the Bambino. It was wajshed ashore at Leghorn, and from there was sent to tb© chosen church Ht Rome. ,

Tbe Bambino was placed fn the sac- lisry, and soon began, to show miraca- Ipijs powers.

Meanfng of ‘‘Bears’’ and “Bulls” as Market T«*ms

A “bear,” with reference' to •*bears’’ and “hulls” of exchange^, is oiie who contracts tp sell, securities, 'foreign exchajige, or commodities, es- 'pédally without ownership 'of the thing sold, in the expectation of ob- taining it at a lowered price before the .lime of final settlement,

Tlje , npme was originally “bearskin jobbers,” and was probably first u^d lu allusion to. Che provérb “h’o sell the bear’s skin before one has caught the béA'fi” li'A bear is also one who specu- Isres for a decline or one who, sells» short, observés a writer in the Indian- apolis News.

A bull is one who operates on a stocfcl commodity, or produce exchange In. expectation of a. rl.se In the price 'of secuHlies or" commodities, or in or- der to effect such a rise, and Is Just the opposite of henr.

A be^tem...market lig ope tending,to fall a bullish market Is one tending to rise In price,. The bears and bulls who attempt, the one to de- press and the other to raise prices, are said to he so called in allusion to the bear’s habit of pulling down, and the bull’s of tossing up. .

Such ^ (.hing is quite plausible, notes an au- thority In the Chicago Tribune, be- cause hounds for thé chase are very old in the evolution of dogs. Even Xenophon wrote about hunting hares and the use of dogs for this sport. So It Is not surprising that hounds like fhe iiengle and the h?trrler take us ’way bark' in h'istqry.' The befigle Is justly'

Vopwlar ‘in America. It is'popular in the feunting fields where the fast-n>n- ning cottontail can be found, and it Is R dog that takes top registration hon- urs among the sparting.,bounds. '

' Seconds Who Fought In a boxing match each of the box-

In the days of prize fights the second had to support his man on his knee while the other fellow, the bottle-holder, ministered to the fighter's needs.—Montreal Herald.

i.^iever Opossum Prefers to Live in Warm Climes

The expression, “playing 'possum.” ♦u-jglnan.v came from a peculiar haldt of the opossum hhnself. He. you see. Is a Tuaster of the game of pretending, notes a writer In the Boston Herald. Normally, he seeks escapé from ene- mies hy running to the woods and climbing a tree. If hè Is absolutely un- able' to get away, though, he will feign death and keep up the deception un- der the mo.sf trying circumstances. Kicking orib.eatlng him doesn’t do the slightest bit of good, for through it all he persists in pretending to be dead. However, If one is really Interefîted in knowing the true state of affairs, he may be! thrown Irtfo the water. There, tlie apparently dead opossu^ will come to -his senses more qulc^'kly than , one; can i)libk his startled 'eyes. , '

to ascertain his financial standing for the year it is doubly necessary and important that every member of the htanau r,ace should take stock at least once a year, to -see just how his life cheeks up with what is required of him, and to 1 bring down a profit and loss account, a trial balance sheet, and if he is as honest, -truthfur and conscientious in his life record ag he is or hàs been in his business, he will most likely find himself ‘‘in the red.”

Let us take down on our trial bal- ance 'sheet, ouj- year’s record, such items as these:—

How many nasty, untruthful or semi- untruthful things have I said about my competitors, my fellow citizens or my neighbors! (

How many times have I misrepre- sented the goods I sold!

(How often Save I repeated scandals and -besmirched the good name of some one!

How Inuehjttr I cheat the Federal Government jHmy income tax!

How much Kd I give to_ charity! How much to the, church! How often havj>-î broken the third

Commandment! How many have I not broken! What have I done to better condi-

tions in the community in which, I live!

Have I treated mÿ mfe squarely!

Have I dropped a nickle on the Sunday colleetion plate occasionally and on the Way home from church bought a package of cigarettes or a carton of cigars for a quarter!

A score or more “Have I’s” might be enumerated, .but the above will no doubt prove sufficient to make a bal- ance sheet that will start us thinking and make it possible for us to sub- mit a stock-taking sheet that will sur- prise us! ■ , -

Woulil’st Keep i Book ? __ lay II!

(Edmonton Journal) The other .day an Edmonton man

put an advertisement in the Journal asking borrowers of his books please to return them. -It appears that he had loaned them to friends, and they in turn had lo-aned them to their friends and so no. Now no one seenh-. ed to know who had the books.

Chain lending is not a new thing. But that does not make it any 'more palatable to the owner of the book.

Men and women who really love books are eager to lend them to friends. They want their friends to' meo'. their books and enjoy them bnt they want those books home again soon so they, may turn to them vrhen the mood seizes them.

Booklovers everywhere will feel a surge of sympathy for the advertiser of his “lost” books, for they know just how he feels. ;

When one reads a book and wants it, the thing to ro is to go to a book store and buy a copy. Authors, pub- lishers and -boobsellers exist for the purpose of filling just sueb wants.

The Ilfë-Uké effigies of the earlier kings and qu^ns, clad In the very clothes they wore, illustrate the cos- tumes of past periods.

With the burial of Qeorge III at Windsor, however, the abbey ceased to be the mausoleum of British kings and queens, but it retained its plaCjS as the scene of their coronation. Thé bistdrlc coronation chair, made by order of Edward I and first used at the enthroning of his son.

Bank Note for a Penny; Only One in Existence

The £1,000 banknote is the highest denomination regularly Issued by the Rank of England, but four with a face- value of £1,000,000 were once struck, although none of them was. ever cashed.

"One the bank retained, and It may be seen' in its interesting note library; another went to Samuel Rogers, thje banker-poet, who put It In a gold frame; still another was given to Bar- on N. M. Rothschild LAûd the fourth to George Ivr ^ . 4^

But a much greater c^ioslty of the Bank of England’s note library Is a bank note for a penny, says Tit-Bits Magazine. As there Is only one in ex- istence, there is no telling to what heights its sale vaine would soar were It to appear in the auction room, but it is ve.ry unljkel.v ever to see the light of day again. Tt was printed and 'Is- sued by accident in 1828, got into cir- culation. and’ for many years was a source of annoyance to cashiers In mak- ing up their accounts.

It is said the bank, in despera- tion, offeçèi^ £ . Us return, but an- other stoiÿ^éay that^îts holder brought it to the bank>ànd persuaded, them to give five pounds for this scrap of pa- per with the face-value of one penny.

The Order Masons Tradition carries the order of Ma-

sons back to the building of the Tem- ple of Jerusalem, with King Solomon as the first grand master. The best authorities are agreed, however, notes a writer in the Clevelar^»^ Plain Deal- er, that modern Masonry is an out- growth of the guilds or associations of builders who labored on the great cathedrals rnd other* works of the Mid- dle ages. Their skill and the often transient .character of their employ- ment bound them in fellowship, while the necessity and demand for them gaze them prosperity and privileges beyond those of most other classes of workmen. Ultimately persons not ac- tually connected with building: were admitted to iaembershlp. and when steps were taken in England in 1668 to put Che fraternity on a permanent basis it was no longeryconfined to oper- ating masons.

Types of Mulberries

There are tliree ma-in tyi«is of mul- berries: (1) The white mulberry, which is adapted to the United States and which came from Asia; (2) the black mulberry,.which Is esi>eclally hardy In the Northeast and which Is a native, of F^ersia ; and (3) the red mulberry, which Is a native of America. It Is the white mulberry that is most com- monly seen in the East. The trees are medium in size In contrast to the na- tive mulberries, which grow to trees of 70 feet in height. F’erhaps the most common variety of mulberry Is the Downing.—Rural New-Yorkçr.

Desert Conquered The Ruba el Khali, or -Empty Quar-

ter.” the great desert of Arabia, larger than Texas, was crossed for the first rime in 1930*31 by the English explor- er, Bertram* Thomas. Only camels born and bred on loose sand and on carried fodder are any use on the desert: \vinds are often very strong, winter and summer alike, and the cold at night sometimes 40 below.

Nails, Menace to Sawyers •'.Nails hammered Into trees from 40 to 50 3*ears ago. and left for Nature to deal with, are perhaps the great- est menace to sawyers. The high rate of speed at which the ordinary mill band saws travel caused breaks without warning, and when the broked" saw starts whipping around it carries death and injury in^ every revolution before it can be stopped.

China’s Age ^ Chinese traditions carry the story of

civilization in .eastern Asia back to about the year 2852 B. C. The story begins with a legendary ruler, Fuhsi, who is said to have l)een the organizer of society io the time when the people lived by hunting and fishing.

Stradivarius Regarded Greatest Violin Maker

That there hn.s been no greater v»o iln umker than Stra<livarius. the well informed readily admit, say.s a writer in the Baltinjore ,55un. Starting-as an apprentice to Amatl, he began to work for himself in 16CC, and gradually dO' veloped and Improved on his master's style, until hy about the year ;^700 he had attained a perf^^rtion of woi’kni.an ship, model and tone which sets a pat- tern for all time. He^lived to a great age, was very iudustrlouS, and Is known to have matle more than a thou- sand Instruments ('including also some violas and violoncellos) of which possi by half are still In existence.

Nevertheless, it is a mistake to think of him as anything unique or miracu- lous. He was exquisitely skillful with his tools, but so have been m)hiy oth ers. Including some alive and*busy to- -day. He nad an uncanny Judgment ol the varying resonance qualities of rl;n woods he used, but so has every reall.x great violh) maker.

By trial and error he wrought to } ward the production of an instrument which would have a richer and more powerful tone as well as being a thing of, beauty to the eye, changing various details of his model no less than-six- teen times In the course of his life, but others have done the same, even if in a less .degree.

Mida'wiwin Institution, Ancient Indian College

The white man is not thè only one who can boast of colleges, for the In- dians had them long before Columbus arrived, asserts a writer in the Wash- ington Post.

This was recalled when Dr. W. B. Hinsdale, University of Michigan arch- eologist, uncovered an ancient Indian “Mldawiw’ln college” In Lapeer cotm ty, Michigan.

These Indian colleges have long been known to archeologists and formed an important part of many Indian villages in eastern America. In them, young- sters were put through four degrees as in a Masonic lodge, until they had learned all the secrets of medicine and religion known to the priests of the Midawiwin society.

Very rigid In its discipline, this Midawiwin society exerted a .strong influence over the lives of the Indians Only the conquering white man could overcome It. and th<^ .Midaw’lwin clung tenaciously to life even after wliltc colonization.

“Beauty Chemistry” Old Trick to the Egyptians

Grand ladies of the world’s oldest civilization painted th^r faces green before attending the court functions. L E. Warren, United States Depart- ment of Agriculture chemist, told a gatheririg of the American Chemical society, f

The Egyptian chemists appear to have masterecK -'beauty ohemistry.” The girls, declared khe speaker, used ground maiachite? a green copper ore, mixed with hippopotamus; fat, to give their cheeks a “fresh grasa” I<M»U. They also painted their eyebrows black with a mixture of ulercury sul- phide and antimony sulphide. This mixture Is poisonous..

Egyptian priests. Warren said, pos- sessed a stock of more than 800 differ ent drugs for use as medicines atvd poisons, forty of which, ‘3.500 years later, are stocked by modern drug stores. - ' \

Sumo Wrestling Old Sport The first Japanese Sumo wrestling

match took place In 23 B. C. and the winner was Siikune; who has ever since bWn regarded as the titulary deity of Japanese wrestlers. Sumo Is the .ba- . tlonal sport of Japan and for nearly 2,000 years Japanese wrestlers have beeir carefully bred. The daughter of a wrestler Is allowed to marry none >ut a wrestler and a wrestler is allowed to marry none but the daughter of a wrestler. This has resulted In a bree^ of very large and powerful, though fat, ' men. Sumo wrestlers of 5 feet 8 inches in height often scale upward of 300 pounds. It is considered a, great advantage in this type of wrestling tO" be so large around that the opponent cannot get his arms completely around one.

Copenhagen, the City of Spires ^

There are'so many spires and towers' in Copenhagen, Denmark, that the cap ital of the Danes has been called the “City of Spires.” The tallest spire snr- mounts the city hall. The Erloserk- vike is also famous for this feature, which has a curious spiral design. Then there Is the notable Round tower, originally Intended as an observatory^ which Is ascended by a Very wide spUal road, up which a horse and carriage can be easily driven.

Danube Touches Six Countries Fainou.s for the waltzes composed

beside Its banks and for a particular one named, for: it, the Danube river flows throu^.’^'or passes by, six coun tries before It empties In the Black sea. Starting in Baden in the Bla'ck Forest afe the Joint effort of t>vo moun- tain streams at an altitude of over 2.000 feet, the Danube drops to 5(M) feel at Vienna, then wanders through Hun gary and Yugoslavia, and passes be tween Bulgaria arid Rumania. Tins rivèr, which is 1,740 miles long, has 400 tributaries. For most of its course the Danube Is not at all blue, but is of a dirty yellowish color, owing to the soil deposited in it by the rains.- It is only in its upper part, in the moun- tains, that It has the blue* tint.

Origin of Birthstone* ' The origin of birthstones dates back'

to the story in the Book of Revela- tions' in which the twelve foundation stones of the Holy City were laid. It i^eads as ofllows: "And the ^founda- tions of the wall of the city;, were- garnished with all manner o^ precious stones, The first foundation was jas- per; the'^second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony ; the fourth, an emerald ; the fifth, a sardonyx ; the sixth, sar- dlus: the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus ; the eleventh, a Jacinth; twelfth, an amethyst.”

Dickens^ Not Afraid

One hundred years ago there was no system to copyright English llrepture In this country and books printed in England ^ere immediately reprinted here without payment to the author. The best Americans were disgusted but no bne dared say anything about it. Not so Charles Dickens, though, for when he came here he made a hitter attack on Americans for this and was awarded by anonymous threats, com-, pared with a murderer, and threatened with tar and feathers.

Bulldog Fine Breeder

The bulldog. long considered a syro bol of pluck and tenacity, originally was one pf the most sporting of ani- mals because of his feats of baiting bulls and even lions and tigers. Canine authorities say that the Influence of the bulldog on his race has been very marked. Even in its most diluted form the blood of the bulldog is said to Be capable of transmitting Its best qual- ities to every (lescendant

Emeralds Are Not Easily Imitated, Writer Asserts

Emeralds, one is told at the Gein- ologlcal Institute, have always been more easily Imitated than diamonds and rubles. However, state.s an au- thority in the Los Angeles Times, no student of gemologyhas need to worry about being deceived as to the value of an emerald. Tests of hardness dlchroism, refractive Index, ami the nature of inchisions easily reveal the counterfeit.

There are some Inferior Imitations of most gems which can be detected, by homely tests. Glass feels much' warmer to the tongue or cheek than a diamond. Glass, bakellte, and gala- llth Imitations can be scratched with a steel file, whereas, the real stones cannot be.

The reconsthicted stones which were once made by fusing many small pieces of the genuine stone together are no longer manufactured, therefore, t^iey are more valuable than the usual syn-, Gietic stones. But they do not have tlie value of one large stone.

Doublets, triplets and foil backs are another variety of the gem counter- feiters’ wares. Doublets and triplets are manufactured by assenibllngN vari- ous portions of genuine stones and imitation stbnes, in an attempt to rep- resent the genuine. If any of these are Immersed In water and then held to a strong light, the seams will be readily noticed. Follbacks con.slst of a portion of the genuine article backed by glass or another Imitation.

It Seems that simple tests are not always infallible, however, and that In some instances the detection of k synthetic stone depends on findlbg tiny bubbles which cannot be seen without a microscope of great mag*, alficatlon.

Black Cats Long Thought ( to Be Cause ef Bad Luck

The Idea that black cats bring bad luck is very old, notes a writer in the Washington Star. The black cat was long supposed to he the companion of witches, and It was even believed tha’ the much-feared witches had the pow- er to transform themselves Into cats nine times.

A book called "Beware the Cat” was written during the Sixteenth century This book contained a warnlng against these witches In disguise, and stated that killing a black cat did not always mean that the witch’s power was end ed, because of her ability to change herself so often into animal form.

Tn the Middle âges women whe thought that they had magic power made pets of black cats, and always carried them about. They used the brains of black cals in compounding their cf^medies. So the unlucky repu- tation of the black ont spread. There are still many siiper.stltious folk wh<^ believe that black cats bring bad luck.

Porto Rico Historic Isle Among the islands comprising the

West Indies Is one which figured large- ly in the numerous fights which were staged during the Sixteenth and Sev- enteenth centuries In the Spanish Main—Porto Rico. It was discovered by Christopher CoIumi.u.s in 1493. In addition to invasion of war. pirates and freebooters frequently sacked it. Following the Spanl.sh-American war. Porto Rico was ceded by Spain to the United. T^he Island contains an area of about 3.200 square miles with a population of more than a million and a half, overwdielmingly native, and therefore is very thickly populated.

The Trumpet The ancient Hebrews used as tflie

first wind Instruments the horns of animals, a straight horn being pre^ ferred to a curved horn. This was known as the Shophar keren and was used to summon the people to war. to the hearing of the law, to announce the year of jubilee, the approach of thej ark, to hall a new king, and for other public uses. In Numbers 10:2 Moses was commanded by God to cause to be made two silver trumpets to call the people to worship. These are also spoken of In the Book of Revelation.

California’s Rodent Plague The cause of the rodent plague In

the vicinity of Bakersfield, Calif., some- time ago, was that because of weather conditions Kern lake had become ory. and the bed was used for agricultural purposes. Further weather conditions ruined the crops being grown on the lake bed. and they were left to spoil. This unusual food supply caused a rapid and tremendous Increase in the rodent population of the region, which included house mice and several spe- cies ojf field mice.

Man, Primitive Savage, Few Thousand Years Ago

For 400.000,0(Ki ,vp«rs tli€’ earth was a mass of whlrHiis gases, .No land, no oeean had yet formed.

The “crnst." or surface of th^ earrh. took another 8(MMKM).tMI0 yertrs to he- come gradually solid. i iVoi otitil the wofid was two bullion years old did the first signs of life begin to appear In the ocean. Another SOO.OOO.OOO years were needed before, even Uie simplest forms of life bt^gHn. And after that ail Hfe was still confined to the wifiter for another l.iMKl.OOO.oOO yHtg:_ji,

■jNatutjB,î\ then devoted HO.OOO.OOO years to the age of reptiles, and 60.- 000,000 years more for the evolution of hlgh’er animals.

Sow long'man has been pn earth is still the èubjeçt of debate among sci- entists; Some experts say it lé as long ast.; 1.000,000, years. , .’WU^t, Is. moye certain, continues a

writer Jn Pcsarson’s \Veekly, is that man was a prinjltive isayage of the Stone age 'on’ly 'i2.h00 years ago—a mere drop in lie ocean of tlmé. V Many thinkers, particularly in America, declare that this Is too short a period fOT,,;the. development of a moral sense and an appreciation of cylture Ip tpe human race. ''“We represent the age of bar-

Peopie of History Are Pictured on P. O. Stamps

A little moré than live centuries ago Great Britain was on the way to con- quering ail P'rance, but at the psÿ: cholngical moment the French army was imbued vyith a new spirit and, at the City of Orleans, won a great vic- tory so that France was saved, notes a writer in the St. I.ouis Globe-Demo- crat.

At the head of the French troops there appeared, one day. a young wom- an in white armor, riding a great black horse. The French followed her brave- ly, and at Onleans she led them to vloj tory. ^

Cater the young woman, known, to history as Joan of Arc. was captured and burned at the stake by the Eng- lish ; bull her mission, that of saving France, had been accomplished.

Five hundred years after the deliv- erance of France at Orleans France issued a dark-blue postage stamp of 50 centimes value. The center design pictured Joan of Arc on her horse, rid- ing victoriously ahead of the French array.

Few of the greatest men and women of history have been omitted from postage stamps of the world. Among the rulers we find numerous portraits from ancient Egypt down to the pres- ent time. Rameses II. Pharaoh of Egypt and Augustus Caesar of Rome are among the older monarchs.

In the field of science we have Oppernlcus, the astronomer, on a Pol- ish stamp: Pasteur on a French stamp and Mendeleff, the biochemist, on a Soviet Russian stamp. Among the mu- sicians we find Beethoven shown on a German stamp, Dvorak on a Csecho Slovakian stamp arid Beethoven as well as Bruckner, Haydn, Mosart on stamps from Austria I ,

The arrival of a ship was announced to President Jefferson by a homing pigeon In 1806. The pigeon was sent out by the ship In tpieslipn because President Jefferson wished to be no- tified promptly of the ship's arrival from .Europe with an Important treaty. The bird made thé flight of 240 miles in about four hours. In those days, land transportation required three to fohr days tor- the, same distancé.

Pepper Is Among Oldest Spices; Black and White

Pepper Is one of the oldest spices known. Hippocrates used it as a medi- cine. Pepper differs from most other spices In this, that Its pungency re- sides hot in the volatile parts or es- sential oil, but In a substance of a more fired kind, which does riot rise In the heat of boiling water. The peppercorn which, wJien ground Is the familiar black or white pepper, grows on a creeping vine, usually at Its best

jin the moist heat *f a low-lying trop- ical forest. '

When pepper Is ctiltlvated oh a large scale It Is a common practice to plant trees to support the, creeper and pro- vide shade. When the berries are changing from green to red they are collected, and dried In the snn until theybedbme blackahd shriveled. Ground In this condition, they- produce black pepper. If white Is required the black skins a re removed.

Strength of Swordfishes i” Not long ago swordfishes were classed with Icebergs, storms and other dangers to ocean-going vessels. Al- tliough their swords are Only about tbiee feet long. the.F have often been driven through the sides of shi|is. In the Natural History museum in I.on- don. writes H.-C. Belden. I.os Angeles. Calif.. In Collier’s Weejdy, there is a piece of timber that, although less than a fo6t square, contains tliree of these broken spbars.

Water and Gasoline Water, when the pressure is not suf-

ficient to overcome its surface tension, will remain in a vessel having small perforations. This is noticeable in' the gasoline strainer on an fuitoiriobile through which water will not run. Once' the pressure on the water Is sufficient to break down its teiidericy to form globules on oily surfaces, the rate at which it goes through small openings is at least as great as for other liquid substances of the same viscosity.

Ancient Legend Pictures Shrew as Ravening Beast

roncfPGlng shrew,- inan.v super- stitif*ns have been handetl .down fro.îD l.he earliest^ times, and unfortunately they are stlil believed in some country dlsfricns. In a Seventeenth-century hoofe we are told that the shrew ia a ravening beast, that it béareth a cr\iel mind, its one object in life being-to hurt everytidng it comes In contact with; observes a writer in Tit-Bits Mag- azine. that it is fraudulent and takes its prey deceit. It was once thought, and even believed now. that the shrew poisons cattle, and tiiat if one passes over the foot of a human being, lame- ness la Induced:

It is ditfiouU to believe that such an ancient superstition as the following can be practiced in these days. If a shrew touches a man. woman or child, and the animal is captured, it is not killed outright. A hole is bored In an ash tree, the little creature Is pushed In. and the hole is sealed. After about a month the, hole is opened, and If the body hgs decayed sufficiently a twig is Inserted. It is then passed: over that portion of the human ^'body .which the shrew touched. In the' belief that** the lameness will be stopped. '

Another old superstition Is that U Is Impossible for a shrew to pass across a path; without dying. This is the explanation our ancestors gave ,for the numbers found ^dead in the au- tumn! One. cold night wUV destroy thousands of iusects. and the following moniihg 'the shrew finds food almost Impossible to ohiam. Like' the mole, it requires food every féw boii«s. hut the artful, opes choose a cpzy SJMU and hibernate throughout winter., to awak- en ifi. sq)ring to find a world filled with their favorite food.

The sul- phide of mercury Is ordinarily ‘ black, but if It be sublimed or warmed up with a strong solution of caustic pot- ash It gradually turns brown and then scarlet red

Two compound» of mercury • have been /employed in the arts and medi- cine from time out of mind. a.sserts a writer in the Montreal Herald. They are both chlorides but differ in the amount of mercury they cotitalti. 'ftila difference confers very’ dîffètenr ' qiiaL Ities u|M>n them-, for one; rPerciinuis chloride, or calomel, is a cohiparative- ly harmless medicine largely pfee scribed, while the other, mercuric chloride, or corrosive sublimate, is a deadly polsot». It also iias strong ad-- tlsepfic 'properties and is .a powerful preservative, much used by tazidèr- mist.s and embalmers.

He was burning with fever and in groat pain so Jim decided quickly to go for a do(itor.

Wearily Rose shrugged. “What I have always done—remain at his side. I love him. He gave me everything

“Howt” “I was offered a job waiting on ta-

Roughly he said, “I’d sooner see you in a dance hall.’’

“I could even get married—’’ Rose smiled faintly.

Jim’s hands twitched, but his face was impassive as he said: “No I’m going to stick'. I made a few dollars in Dawson and I left there looking for* one more chance—one big chance to win or lose, make or break.

Bonanza crowd sent an outfit over and began work on some property .they owned below old Hiram's.

This outfit was in charge of a young fellow by the name of Hayward, and once he had become acquainted with Rose he took such an interest in Fri- day Creek that he spent all of his time there.

This Hayward was a fine-looking, out's-tanding youth a;rid h©, undoubtedly had a way with biih. But his way with women was more agreeable than his way with men: towards Jim Rowan, for instance, he displayed the same

he reserved for his employees. ,Rose liked him, however — per-

haps that was the real reason why Jim 'did not. In any event, the two men were so different in character that a clash was inevitable.

Jim had made it a practice never to go into town for fear of recogni- tion, hence it was Hiram who made the weekly tripg. for mail and for the necessary purchases. One day while ho was in town jt began to snow and during the afternoon this snow turned to rain and sleet. The old' man return- ed about dark, quite wet and chilly. He was a long while getting warmed through and later in the evening hé complained of feeling badly and went to bed- ■ Jim Was awakened during the night by a knock on his’ door. It was Rose- In a tone that instantly brought, him

He laid a hand upon Rose’s shoulder —it was the first time he had ever touched her except by inadvertence— and there was such' sympathy, such comfort in big, gesture that tears wet her lashes,

“Oh, Jim.’’ she cried. “You’re a dear. I don’t know what I’d do with- out you.’’

Young Haywkard was in Nome, bu’t Jim got one of the Bonanza men to go to Rose’s assistance and also he borrowed a hor.se for himself. It was not Diany miles to town, but it was a wretched night ànd he was glad when the animal wallowed out of the icy mud and ho felt the plank pavements under its feet. The first doctor he found was ill; another had been called to/Fort Davis; the third was engaged on a confinement ease, but promised to accompany Jim in perhaps two hours. There was nothing to do but wait.

Jim was wet and cold. He stabled his horse, returned to the main street, and entered the first saloon he came to. It was late; there was nobody at the bar, but some of the games were still running and there were a few fi- gures at the lunch counter in the rear. Thither Jim. made his way in search of a -cup of coffee.

There was a stage at the end of the place where, in the. earlier hours of the night, a vaudeville show was given, and at the piano were gathered several weary women of the dance- hall type. One of them saw Jim and spoke to her companions, whereupon they turned and stared curiously at his back.

Young Hayward rose from the faro table and! approached the lunch counter. He had been drinking some and losing considerably. There was an unpleasant curl to his lip’s.

Jim had had hitched lÿniself upon one of the high stools; ;he had raised his mug to drink'when Hayward push ed it away from his lips and called to the white-aproned waiter^ saying:

"Here! Give thig-fellow a square- meal.’’ At the same time he crashed a twenty-dollar gold piece upon the counter.

“Thanks,” said Jim. “I’m not hun- gry.”

,“Ham and eggs for ■ a friend of mine,” Hayward cried. “And* give him the change.”

Jim eyed the speaker coldly, as if from behind a mask, but he appeared td takek no notice of the tone Hay- ward had used. ■Stilj*in an even voice he said:

“Nice of you. I’ve seen the time I’d take it.” He lifted his cup for a second time; 'again Hayward took his wrist.

“Look here. Rowan. I’ve been wanting to ask you something. It’s about that offer for old-man Morris claim. D’you know what I think?”

‘ I don’t believe you ’re capable of thinking, right now. If I were you, Hayward, I’d go home and go to bed.

“Is that so?” Hayward’s disagree- able smile became more pronounced. “I’ll tell you what I think; I think

iit was a phoney. I think you tried to put something o^ver—tried to grab something.”

“Well? You can’t arrest a man for trying.”

“I’ll tell- you something else; old- man Morris is honest, but I think he’s in partners with a damned crook.

The men eyed each other. "Very quietly Jim ^aid: “So. You’re just spoiling for trouble, aren’t you?

“With you, yes.’* “I’m sorry, but I can’t oblige

covered something else about you Ro- wan. You haven’t got the guts of a guinea pig.” Hayward had not dow- ered his voice during this colloquy. Those people,in the reat of the room had heard most of what he' said, and they were looking on now in mingled curiosity and apprehension. The dance to his feet she told him that her fa-

make of himself,” Jiui told the young foreman. “Some day you’ll realize how badly up against it a fellow can get without knowing it.’»

“Bah! You rat. There’s only one Way to treat a—’’ Hayward raised his open hand to slap this object of contemjrt, but the blow did not des cend; he did not finish his sentence, for suddenly his face was deluged by the blinding, scalding contents of Jim’s coffee cup. "With an exclama- tion he reeled backward, almost into the arms of the women at the piano. He dashed the liquid from his face; With his sleeve hé wiped his eyes, cleared them; ho gathered himself to rush • upon the figure still sitting mo- tionless upon the stool. But one of the ’ girls flung herself upon him, twined ^or arms about him, and in a voice high-pitched, vibrant with warn ing, she cried:

“Don’t touch him, Hayward! He’ll kill you! God, man that’s ‘The Michi- gan Kid.’”

Hayward’s struggle died suddenly. It came still-b((rn. Into his purple face crept a look of astonishment, then incredulity.

Coffee Tree Believed to Be Native of Ethiopia

The early history of eolïee as a bev- erage Is obscure. Ktliiopia is regarded as the original home of tive cofTee tree, which is Indigenous to many parts, of Africa, says a writer in the Indianap- olis News.

Large virgin forests of coffee trees are found in Ethiopia. In some cases the outer fringes of these forests are worked by the natives, but for thé most part the berries fall to^the ground each year and are wasted.

It is said that the coffee tree was originally found by Arab travelers in thé Ethiopian province of Kâfa about 3,000 years ago. and that seeds were taken to Yemen In Arabia, whence the custom of using coffee as a beverage gradually spread throughout the rest of the world, i

The tree, according to some authori- ties, acquired the name coffee from Kafa, the name of the province where Arabs first found it growing wild. Most etymologists, however, derive cofteè from thd Arabic wor^‘“K’haw'ah. through its Turkish form Kahveh. meaning a decoction or beverag^e made from berries.

Coffee berries. It seems, were first used, not for a beverage, but as a food, being eaten In the form of a paste.' Tradition has it that an Ethiopian priest accidentally discovered the stim- ulating effect of coffee berries when a flock of goats jjte a quantity of them and then ected their proper rest Later Wffs fermented into wine. •'

Famous Perry Brothers Helped Make War History

Oliver Hazard Perry, the elder of the two famous Rhode Island brothers, was born in 1785. became a midship- man in 1799. served in the Tripolitan war, and was ma.de a lieutenant in 1807. It was he who fought the Bat- tle of Lake Erie, and tiiough he car- ried the rank of iieutehant. be was then acting as captain. Congress re- warded him for this achievement by giving him a captain’s cobimlssiQn. He was sent to the West Indies with a squadron to put down piracy, but he contracted yellow fever and died at Port of Spain. 'Trinidad, in 1819. He is often referred to as Commodore Perry, but he never held that rank. Possibly it is due to confusion of' the brothers that he is called commodore.

Matthew Galbraith Perry, the broth- er, was born in 1794, fought in the War of 1812 and the Mexican war. and In 1841 was made a commodore. Hè conducted from 1852 to 1854 the ex- pedition to Japan which led to the opening of that country’s ports to. west- ern commerce. In 18.58 he died in New York.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

“The man,” says Filbert Hubbard, “who not only does his work superbly well, but adds to it a touch of person- ality through great zeal, patience, and persistence, making It peculiar, unique. Individual, distinct, and unforgettable. Is an artist And this applies to each and every field of human endeavor— managing a hotel, a bank, or a fac- tory ; writing, speaking, modeling, or painting. It is that last indefinable touch that counts: the last three sec- onds he knocks off the record that proves the man a genius.”

The First Lighthouse The forerunner of the lighthouse as

we know it was a big tower built on the Island of Pharos, in the bay of ^Alexandria, more than 2,000 years ago. From* this, other lighthouses got the name of pharos. That old lighthouse was one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The light, given off by huge fires, was visible 40 miles out at sea. One of the first lighthouses to be erected In England was the orig- inal Elddystone lighthouse, built in 1758-60.—Pearson’s Weekly.

Provencal Girls Still Do “Popping of Question’^

Following hn ancient Tnedieval cus- rom, Provencal girls still "pop the que.stion,” according to a .•\Aignon (F'rance) Huiried I’ress correspondent..

This Is how it is done. The young woman bakes a delicious Provenc:»! cake called a “fougasse.” 'Then, she places it with a jar of wine outside her house. In fact, certain old houses have niches in the wall made especial- ly for thi^ purpose.

When her prospective husband ap- pears. he eats the cake and drinks the wine. F^'inally. lie leaves a token on the niche, usually a silken sash ot scarf. This is his way of saying “Will you marry tne?**ftSl)e answers the fol- lowing Sunday, sfmpiy by wearing tlie scarf or whatever it was. when she goes to church. A few weeks later the wedding hells ring.

But. if the Provencal girl prepared the "fougasse" as a joke. If she con- sidered it only as a pleasantry, she says “No” to the young man by offer- ing him a handful of oats.

Holding up^ the bridal party after the wedding still is a comm#tn custom in Provence. A flower-decked Tope is stretched across the street and kept there until the bridegroom pays toll to Cupid’s highwaymen.

Further, when a I'pench girl marries a young man from another village, her old friends barricade the road until the groom has treated everyhf>dy to drinks. Instead of resenting this custom, the bride judges her popularity by the size of the crowd that stops her.

On the bridal night, friends also serenade the newly-wed couple. Some- times thêre Is music by the local band. At other times, fhe serenade is merely

^a bedlam pf noise.

Ancient Prize Fighters Had to Battle to Death

in ancient Rome the gladiators who corresponded to our pugilists were paid nothing. They were usually war. cap- tives whôtn no one would ransom and whom the’possessor had no other con- venient means of disposing of. He fed them, put them tlirough a course of training, and then armed them and sent tSiem into the arena. They had to fight, willing or not; and. moreover, had to fight hard, for only death ended a match, and uhless a man killed his opponent he would be killed by him. It was understood also, comments a writer In the Detroit News, that if a fighter showed cowardice his owner would extinguish him ,by slow torture.

These regulations lent to the conv bat an element of sincerity which modern ones sometimes lack. It wa« very seldom that a gladiator did a, rubber leg act. took a dive, or grinned at the. audience until he had the poim of his sword on his prf>sîrate amag- onist’s throat,

F'requently a whole troop <?f gladia- tors would be engaged once. .Itilins Caesar, who had urn'ornnionly large supplies of captives, once.piu on a show involving 820 pairs.

All this was wirhoiit'' any recom- pense to the fighters, except .(.hat ilj they won in tl)e first <?ontest rhev could live until they lost in the next. And the promoter, who staged tiie shows at his own expense to enter- tain the populace, got no financial profit eitlier. except that when his cap- tives h^d killed each other he no longer had to feed them. ’ •

to Use Beets for Sugar About 17.50 the cbemi.st MargrafT ilis-

covered that beets contained a consld erable a.ino\int of sugar. 'I'hls fact was of lîrtle Industrial importance until about |810. when Napoleon, in an en- deavor to make Europe independent of all tropical ifnp<'rts. turned to the beet as a source of sugar. •

By means of heavy research grants and ' industrial subsidies observes an authority' in the Chicago Tribune, lo succeeded before his <lownfall in giv- ing the sugar beet industry a firm foot hold in 'Europe. Because of its pro- duction being located so close to tlie centers of consumption, and because the stigar content of beets has been a) (host ..douUled b.v means of scientific selection, the .sugar beer has been able to bold its own against the cane. About a third of tiie world's sugar comes from beets, most of which are grown In Europe.^

The'/converslon of cane or beets Is a pr<K‘ess that is .simple in principle but rather complicated in actual prac- tice. The cane is a tall plant resem- bling a cornstalk and contains about 9(>' ))er cent juice. 'T,hese' sncculem stalks are crushed between rollers to extract the juice.

Carbohydrates Used by - Body in Form of Sugar

'The body utilizes rarbohydrates di^ Tectly only in the form df'tiie simplest of tlie sugars, those'-’witb ’ six carbon atoms. Digestion Is necessary to con vert the- higher ourhohydrales i.nfo tin* simple ones. In the cases of sugars such as cane or beet, wliose molecules consist of but- two of these six carlmij units, this breaking down process is a quick and easy one for the digestive system to handle. •

. It so }ui.ppens that sugars are the only kinds of human food tiiat require little or no digestion prior to fuifiiling their metabolic role. Ah a result they are the most convenient source .of bodily, energy from the organism's standpoint., Possibly because of this fact, the sweet taste associated with sugar has come to be a highly pleasing one to the Imman palate.

BETTER AND CHEAPER We are àpt to be auspicious of an

article which is offered to us as be- ing iibth better and cheaper than anything else. There is no doubt, how- ever, that this claim can be made in so far gÿ disease is concernedl'^No <^e can ih.my that the prevention'^ of dis- ease is better than cure, and certainly it is much cheaper to preveht'^han to cure. ■ ^

Tuberculosis^ ! being a communicable disease ^ is preventable. With early dis- covery and adequate treatment, most Cases can be curèd. Unfortunately, mamy eases are either not discovered- early or else they do hot secure the treatment they need^ with the result that many lives are cut short.

The, prevention of ^tuberculosis is nothing mysterious. It depends upon our making use of what is already known concerning the , disease. The germ which causes tfabereulosia • is transferred from the sick to the -syeU in the droplet^ of sputum or saliva expelled by coughs,'sneezes 6r spitting.

Just as soon as we realise tKàt'the body secretions coming from 'the mouth and nose are the mosrt danger- bus disease spreaders, may we'^ hope that effective means will be taken to prevent their passage from one person to another.

Those , who know they have tubercul- osis ^Vill if they have been taught,‘ànd particularly if they have had the great advaiitage of training iii sana- torium, take such precautions as will protect those witjh whom they come in contact. There are many persons, going about their ordinary lives and work, who have tuberculosis but who do not know they are not taking any special care. V

Everybody, men, women and chil- dren, should /cover their mouth *%hen they cough or sneeze. Spitting i^ most- ly a habit as is shown by the gradual disappearance of the s-pittoon. No one should spit except from^’necessity and then only into their hàndkerclbiefs or a proper receptacle. No one should talk right into the face of some other person. .

Eating and drinking utensils,, unless sterilizedj may pass these dangerous secretions from one user to another.' The ‘bommon drinking-cop should be banished from the home as well as from public places. Health depart- ments see that restaurant* sterilize their dishes, but what happens in the home? i

Each one can help to prevent tuber- culosis -by looking after his own gen- eral health, covering his mouth> when coüglfîng or sneezing, avoiding spit« ting, and by supporting the he^th or- ganizatibns which . work for good health of all. ' -i'.-. ■

New Trade Agreemenls Are Forecast

(In the Toronto Globe ) Ottawa, Dee. 31.—'A steady expan

s'ion of the new Government’s policy of widening the streams of external trade through pacts calling for a mu- tual reduetio-n of duties will mark the New Year. Treaties Effective.

At midnight tonight the new treaty w'ith the United States and the agree- ment removing trade barriers between Canada and Japan become effective.

Steps in the direction of a revision of the eonferei\ee agreement between Canada and the United KSngdom are believed to have been taken already, a study being now in progress of the means by which that document--can be enlarged to the advantage of both countries. It is unuderstood that early in the new year, too, negotiations for deals with Belgium (ind Switzerland will be undertaken.

Persuaded that one of the most pow erful factors in the revival of domes- tic business is the èxpansion of trade with other countries^ the King Min- istry will make strenuous efforts in 1936 to secure a freer flow of good* to and from foreign and Empire coun tries and its members are convinced that the ' stimulus of result from the deal with the United Staees will de- monstrate that the lowering of duties to a number of other nation will accel- erate the upward swing of trade and industry rathCr than jeojardize them, stimulus 0 result from the deal with the United Saes will demonstrate that the lowering of duties to a number of other nations will accelerate the up- ward swing of trade and industry ra- ehr than jeopardize them. Larger IMarket Sought.

Canada is '‘anxious Jto sell mor© na« tural products tothe United Kingdom particularly grain and grain .products and nreats. The last named categori- cally of exports has béen hampered to a considerable extend by quotas and moves have been made, to lessen the restrictious. It is held, however, 'that by giving easier entry to certain British textile and iron and steel pro ducts aird without lessening the value of the eoTicessions , to the ' United States, Canada can purchase from Bri tain a Trid’er market for natural pro- ducts;. ^ /

Another development in fiscal rela tions between Canada and Britain is the growing disposition here to ac- cept the view expressed freely in Bri- tish commercial circles that a further fostering of intra-Imperial trade can be accomplished better . without an- other Imperial economic conference.

British exporters declare that the policy of promoting and extending bi- lateral pacts between the component parts of the commonwealth should bo vigorousl.r pursued, but not through conferences, which usually have the effect of engendering rivalries and giving the impression of 'friction in the-big family, which might easily be exaggerated by outsiders. 0
