Vancouver City, Mount Pleasant, South Vancouver and The Province VOLUME I VANCOUVER. British Columbia, JANUARY 14, 1910. 36 MERE AND THERE Th������( demand made upon the Provin- ���������cl^jOpyernnieiit by the business men of; the roasi cities, for the fixing of the rates to' be charged by the C: N. Ry'.iWM in the right direction, as it is nut fair that the. commercial interests ;of; the province Hhould be adequately, protected in the matter in ���������OueiitiiBji. At the same time they attempt;:tp limit rates to a figure that would hamper the construction of I lie road or mlWtate against the success as a business undertaking would be distinctly;,injurious to the welfare of this and;the other cities of the lower maln- land and also of the city of Victoria. The Brat considerations are that we sl*'iOSi *i*ve 'he road���������and that it should be a profitable enterprise. It cannot very well succeed without bene- j fifing the country, and it cannot succeed unless it ofTers rates that wiil secure business. In the nature of the [case it will be bound to adopt all possible means to build up its traffic, and being a new road in a Held already in a large measure occupied, it will not be in a position to maUe unreasonable demands upon those whose patronage Jis necessary 'to its success. * * ������ . We think, therefore, the,matter of rate regulation can be left to the oper- ation of the laws of business and the I1 exercise of the powers of the Railway ���������'Commission. For bur part we cannot understand 1 why such anxiety should be shown. R Vancouver ��������� has got along very well lender existing circumstances, which iuo one doubts the coming of the C. N.

Among the commodities, other than food stuffs, most useful to man. and therefore most eagerly sought for, is petroleum, which has become a necessity to * numberless industrial operations, apart from its use either as an illuminant or a lubricant. This being true, it is gratifying to know that there are excellent prospects of the obtaining of petroleum in paying quantities in more, than one part of British Columbia, and of that section of Alberta which immediately adjoins this province. ��������� For some years operations have been in progress in the. Plncher. Crejek district, which lies just east of the British Columbia bouri- . dary and along the line of the Crow's Nest Pass division of the C. P. R. The difficulties encountered have not been either few or insignificant, but it is how evident that those who continued to believe in the existence of oil there are destined to obtain rich returns for their faith and their investments. Among the several concerns operating in the section named, in which Vancouver people are interested, is the Canadian Northwest Oil Co., whose property is a short distance from the town of Plncher Creek, in Southern Alberta. This company has been engaged in drilling for.some time, and has encountered increasingly strong indications of the presence of an extensive pool of oil. So confident of this is the management that it has been decided to put'on a diamond drill in .order that the work may be more speedily accomplished. ' . Recently the company retaineaTTr. John Hamilton, who has been successfully engaged for many years .superintending, drilling operations in this province, to make a careful examination of the iVropeVty.' Mr. Hamilton made two trips over the ground, and iir- a report just rec.eiye# byvthe .'pirecr: tors, says:; "ITpon- my former trip I was convinced yoiif had aigood nrbi- ijtjct; but as my'time was'limited; I did not have* tbe same effahee. .to go. into matters that I had upon my last sojourn at the property. , .: ; ��������� f i1 In my former report I stated that you had the best prospect I had eye- seen, and from the examination made within 'the time at my disposal .upon rtiy second visit,S do not hesitate to say that I believe oil is there "In inv liiense "quantities." -.'"'��������� After |Commentiiigi!?Ti:pon "t'ne"; pi-ogress of the work, lie continues: "With >- . ���������.��������� --1��������� '��������� ��������� t a diamond drill-the p"i;esent well can be driven in a-very short time.

VANCOUVER. BRITISH COLUMBIA. RACING IN CANADA mwm The last ten years have made a great change in the attitude of the people of Canada to the question of horse racing and to the larger and more important question of the gambling that forms such an important part of the race meets in this Dominion. It will be within the memory of the older people when Canadian racing amounted to a few meets at one or two of the large centres. These race ineeta were held for but a fw days, and all told throughout the Dominion, the major racing events all combined took up but a very short time. In those days whatever betting took place was largely among those who bad special interest'hi the race itself. Today all this is changed so far as Canada is concerned. Racing has been placed upon a commercial basis. The man who says that it is conducted today for the love of the sport, generally winks the other eye. Racing today in Canada is a business. Charters for race meets have a large commercial value, and the whole -thing has connected with it a great deal of involved machinery. Today in Canada it takes an immense amount of money to run a large metropolitan race meet, ami that money, to the last dollar, is supplied by the dear public whose interests the racing folk are so anxious to serve; . The summer of 180!) has been an eventful one in the matter of. racing and race track gambling in Canada. So far as Ontario is concerned, the season began at the Woodbine on or about the 19th day of May. The facilities for race track gambling were of the very highest order. Book-makers were present every day. and the highest number present on any one day was seventy-seven. As these men had to pay a large sum for the privilege, It is quite clear that the amount of gambling at the Waodbine in the year 1909 exceeded that of any other year, so far as that track is concerned. The close of the Woodbine meet, early in June, found the Hamilton meet ready for operation. Train loads of people- went up every day from A Strong Letter by a Strong Man Toronto to the Hamilton meet, and found there every modern convenience to aid them^in the'matter of gain- blingr So far as Hamilton is concerned, "it was not noticeable'that very many of the book-makers went into liquidation at the June meet, and the racing itself appeared to be more or less incidental to the needs of the gambling fraternity for something to put their funds on. Fort Erie, situated within ten minutes of the suburbs of Buffalo, supplied twenty-one days' racing at the close of the Hamilton meet. There are still some patriots iii Canada who imagine thut the 2,000 population in and about Fort Erie are those for whom the meet Is held, but a day on the track shows clearly that Fort Erie is the paradise of the gambling. fraternity of Buffalo and other points in New York state, as well as the fools of Toronto and Hamilton, who feel that they have a sure thing daily on that Fort Erie track. Windsor, with a population of 15,000, was served by the racing association that commenced its operations when J; Fort Erie closed. Of course, it is just an accident that Windsor is ten minutes from Detroit, and that the race track gamblers of all the American territory adjacent to Windsor seize upon that race meet and turn It into a regular midsummer Monte Carlo. This brings Ontario into September, when preparation for tbe fall meet at the Woodbine gees on. The fall meet at Hamilton succeeds that; also at Fort Erie and Windsor. And so the merry-go-round of race track gambling in Ontario starts in May and ends only when the cold breezes of October tie up the unfortunate animals that are dally chasing around the half-milf track that is the property of the Met ropolitan Racing Association of Canada. 1908 closes with over one hundred and fifteen days' racing upon the large tracks of Ontario. This, is surely a mighty change from the few years ago when racing in Ontario was centered upon the few days that surrounded the Queen's Plate.

The book-maker, the handbook man, the toot, with all the most modern paraphernalia for seducing the unwary to part with their riiauey; these have been with us from May to the middle of October. They have left behind them, a trail of disappointed men and women, and of youths led aside from paths of industry and in tegrity. Wnatever our theories may be concerning the nobility of racing as a sport, we are face to face, not with a theory, but with a desperate condition of wholesale race track gambling that has swept like a great tidal wave over our country, and threatens to grow to ever, greater and greater proportions. Business men must face the question of the daily temptations presented to their employees by the allure ments held out in the stories of large iwinnings made on race tracks. The parents of the land must seriously consider the future with regard tp their growing children, and the problem of keeping them away from these places where all their ideas of hon esty-will become fatally warped. The churches of Canada have been dreaming of church union. Here is a large, fine moral - question upon which ' it ought not to be difficult for all our churches to act as one. In a word, what can be done in the situation? First, it is essential that racing as a sport should {Stand upon its own feet. New York, New Jersey, Missouri, i Texas, California, Louisiana. Illinois, have all legislated directly and potently on the evil of race track gambling, but in no case have the amendments to the criminal codes of these Btates touched racing: as a Bport within itself. - Tbe, gambler who has fastened on this sport and exploited it for his own nefarious purposes must be driven out, and if horse racing cannot live without the presence. of the book-makerd and the band-book man, the gambler and the race track sharp, then raclngVBO far as this country is concerned, must go out. Our criminal cede must be so amended that it will no longer be a refuge tor the professional race track gam-l bier who is today in Canacja hiding I behind its technicalities.

Office of 2408 Westminster V ��������� ' Emetics.���������I have been asked to give the best formulas for the administration of emetics, and as the information is of very great value I will give the information in detail, as it was used by the founder of the best system of herb medication ever used, the Thompsonian method.. The usual use cf emetics is to empty the stomach of offending materials in the quickest manner. The offending materials may be poisonous substances taken into the system as such or substances rendered poisonous by decomposition or fermentation after entering the stomach; or the offending materials may be accumulations of mucus interfering with digestion, or foreign bodies swallowed by accident. A more extended use of emetics will be found beneficial in the general treatment of disease, to start the secretions and to empty the gall bladder = and. the ducts of the liver . and cleanse the 'various other glands. Disease always implies interference with free performance of functions on account of obstructions in the system, and an emetic, if properly administered, will so act upon the va- jrious structures, of the body as to j favor the overcocing of these obstructions. In nearly all chronic, dis- I eases great benefit will be experienced i by "an occasional emetic; and in most acute affections an emetic at the start will often cut short the severity of the attack. It is an easy thing to overdo the employment of emetic; and in persons subject to hemorrhages they should not beusade at all. In all cases where they are given the subsequent administration of drugs' will be more effectual. The philosophy of emesis or vomiting, is very simple, and consists of the. sudden contraction of the muscles of the stomach, chest and diaphragm in. such a manner that the stomach is forcibly squeezed and diminished in size, resulting in the ejection of its contents through the gullet or oesophagus. The manner in which this may be accomplished varies according do the condition of the stomach! When that organ is extremely sensitive, the least relaxant will prove nauseating as a reaction, thus, a little warm and cause a contraction of the muscles water or bcneset infusion or simply lobelia tea, or salt and water, will provoke vomiting in irritated conditions of Ihe Btoraach. On the other hand, depressed conditions of ihe stomach would not permit vomiting by such means; and when depressed by narcotics or other similar poisons the administration of relaxants would not only fail to accomplish emesis, but would greatly increase the danger from poisoning by increasing tbe powers of absorption. Stimulants are needed in such cases along with astringents. In diseased and sluggish conditions the aim must be to stimulate the structures into activity, to consolidate the mucus that it may be dislodged and to relax the structures in order to dislodge the mucus and render the muscular fibres capable of suddenly contracting by reaction, and thus causing the act of vomiting. Simple Emetic!���������Make a strong infusion of composition Thompsonian formula of whatever kind you have oii band, using a large tablespoonful of the powder to a pint of boiling | water; allow it to stand twenty minutes and then strain and sweeten. Also prepare an infusion of lobelia herb, a teaspoonful to a cup of boiling water, and allow it to settle. If the patient is very sick he should lie in bed, though otherwise he may sit in' a chair, - while taking an emetic. The temperature of the room should be comfortable, and at the same time plenty of fresh air should be provided. Administer the composition In fusion in half-cupful doses every fifteen minutes, until the whole system feels thoroughly warm; four doses usually being sufficient; then, in five or ten minutes after the last dose of composition has been taken, administer the whole cupful of lobelia infusion, previously prepared and strained. This may provoke vomiting at once; but it is preferable that it should not do . so, and the patient should endeavor to hinder immediate vomiting, for the longer it is delayed the more thoroughly will the tissues be relaxed and the more beneficial will be the results. If vomiting does not take place in ten minutes, then give again the composition infusion in one-fourth cupful doses every five minutes until vomiting does occur; and after each spell of vomiting give composition freely, in order to give 4en minutes give the raspberry infu- fluid to the stomach and thus avoid sJon, and ln another ten minutes giva distressing retching. Where there is sourness of the stomach it will be necessary to add a teaspoonful of cooking soda to the lobelia infusion. Or, if vomiting does not occur promptly, add the soda to the composition taken after the lobelia Only one dose of lobelia need be taken, as another quantity Would simply increase the relaxation and so much longer delay vomiting. Where there is apparently far too much relaxation and vomiting cannot be readily induced, it will be found advisable to give a drink of infusion of capsicum. Vomiting may possibly be delayed an hour or more and then occur suddenly upon exertion, or taking anything into the stomach. Stimulating Emetic.���������They are especially valuable in extremely sluggish conditions where the extremities to be relaxed. Add to the composition a small amount of cayenne pepper, and administer this infusion in quarter of a cupful doses every half hour for several hours, until the whole body Is warm, even to the tips of the toes, and the pulse is strong, and then give the lobelia infusion and proceed as in a simple emetic. Never give the lobelia until the hands and feet are warm and the pulse strong. Sucu an emetic will leave a tonic. impression on the system, especially if golden seal should be given with the composition after administering the, lobelia. Gruel Emetic.���������Some persons become somewhat weak during an emetic and need strengthening, especially if the emetic is given before breakfast, as is advisable where there is apparently a stomach well coated with mucus, as will be denoted by a furred and slimy tongue. In such cases the jbe of the composition >and. the gruel. Do this for an hour and then give the lobelia infusion���������a teaspoonful to a cap boiling water. Follow the lobelia by the composition Infusion as- for a simple emetic. It Is often surprising to see the great amount of tenacious mucus which will be thrown out of the stomach by such an emetic. This will give immediate reiief and will aid in the action of remedies administered thereafter. N'erviu Emetic���������Frequently there will be nervous conditions requiring an emetic on account of foul conditions of the stomach, and which require milder means of producing vomiting than are afforded by ordinary emetics. For such cases instead of composition, use an infusion of equal parts of raspberry leaves, gin- ger, and wild yarn (dioscorea), and divide the lobelia into three doses to be given ten minutes apart, the last doses mixed with the raspberry infusion. Retal Emetic.���������Some persons cannot take emetics by the stomach at all when vomiting is needed. In such cases use by injection to the bowels every twenty minutes, the raspberry infusion named for nervine emetics. Continue four hours and then give the lobelia by injection in very thin starch water. There will be but slight vomiting. Such emetics ate not useful in cases of poisoning. This Chop Suey recipe came long ago from "our Chinese cook:��������� The meat from eight pork chops, , t , , cut. not chopped, into small lumpB and use of gruel will not only sustain the , , . . _ . . . ,, ��������� _ ���������.. .. - . ��������� , i fried brown in hot olive oil.

Children are especially benefited by this form of emetic. Prepare the composition infusion as for a simple emetic, and also prepare an infusion of raspberry leaves, an ounce to a pint of boiling water, strained after steeping. Besides these, make about a pint of thin gruel, salted: and sweetened. Give half a cup- cliopped. a cup of wheat sprouts, and three small tablespoons of corn starch and two of sugar blended in water, and mixed with the rest. To this is added three tablespoons of Chinese^ sauce, and all cooked over a very hot fire for one hour, constantly stirring. Tbe wheat may be sprouted at home, and Worcestershire can be used in place of the Chinese sauce, though ful of the composition infusion and-j these may be obtained at any Chinese follow by halt a cupful of gruel.

Would never have been written had the Brownings lived in Vancouver. He then might have written some lilting verses to silvery voices or rosy cheeks, but feet, never, for the Vancouver women have the worst dressed feet this side of the border where our mounted police chase the Doukhbours. The reason is not far lost. We started out merrily the other day to buy a pair of stout boots, black, medium weight soles, sensible ones, you know, any size and width that fitted. Note the word "fitted." The first clerk vaf looking his prettiest, discussing coming events with the moments heart desire, stylishly pompadoured, so the shoes handed out were net fits. Twenty minutes went by before that clerk woke up enough to examine the old shoe. Then with an air of impatience he candidly said I "should 'have told him my foot was of an unusual size." 1 should i have to go elsewhere. This litling business was repeated from the end of one Ionge to almost the end of the oither; with variations. One tried to sell me yellow kids���������fancy an elderly woman in yellow boots on a rainy day. Another wanted to know if I had lived in Chicago and how he brightened up when I admitted passing that way. Another insisted on Madame observing "zee beauty, zee grace," of the dearest pair of buttoned patent leather, regular dreams, but alas, we are not a widow, if we were those shoes would now be ours. The most intelligent trout can be caught with proper bait. Ever notice the warm plump foot of a baby? How soon all the -beauty of the foot is gone. The foot is weakened or strained and turns inward or outward, the ankle bone becomes prominent an all the natural mcticity and grace of the foot and gait is lost because of improperly fitted shoes. The shoe should be fitted as near like the the sole made thicker, corns, Callouses and many foot deformities are due to badly fitted boots, and too often we pity a woman with a sad expression, thinking she must have much sorrow in her home dife, then more likely than not its only pinching shoes. For home wear, slippers are most comfortable to slip on, but if one has to stand or walk a great deal about the house it is less tiresome to wear a laced Oxford or even a high boot to supp������rt the ankle. One's hose should be carefully chosen and should be a trifle larger than the foot. The licse supporters should fasten from the waist and must be of elastic. A beautiful foot, does not mean a small one. but it must be well- fitted and must feel easy. There must be no wrinkles on the toes and the heels are kept straight on the ground. I:, walking, the fcot is placed straight on the ground in front of you, this is better than toeing out or, as the Japanese do, toeing in, the latter is not graceful. When you buy your next pair of boots you see to it that your foot is well-fitted. If the particular clerk waiting on you does not know how to please you, go some place else. They will soon learn to take pains instead of giving them and your comfort and good looks are all in all. NELL. CANADIAN AND GENERAL the wrecked caboose had a miraculous escape. Several lines of the Canadian Northern are badly tied up on account of the storms. Paul Cleih, a former Winnipegger, was convicted of murder in a state court at Spokane, Wash., but the verdict was set aside by the judge on the ground that the alleged crime was committted on a military reserve and was therefore outside the jurisdiction of the state. A new trial was ordered. Four people perished in a fire at Fort William, Out, which destroyed a boarding house run by F. I-L Babcock, on MeKeller street. Five hoarder were badly injured by jumping from the windows, and several escaped in scant clothing, suffering severely fron> exposure. Ontario prohibition leaders express the belief that public sentiment in On- turic will, in the near future, demand the complete eradication of the liquor traffic. Satisfaction is also expressed with the results secured at the polls on -Monday.

It provides that the warehouses now in existence be acquired on a basis of the cost of duplication with no regard to vested interests. Administration would be by a committee appointed for life and responsible to the legislature only. The initial cost is estimated at $3,000,000 to be provided by provincial forty-year bonds. The theories of Professor Burckhalter, of Oakland.
