HONEY AS A PRESERVATIVE Special Gorrespoiuleitce of The Sun. Victoria, July 25.—If British Columbia is to witness tho completo en* furcementof the government control act, thn liquor control baard must have full control of importations. So stated Attorney General Manson recently, in replying to criticisms of Conservative senators over the rejected amendment to the Canada tempers, ance act.giving the province the riglit to control importations. Hon. Mr. Manson maintains that it is inconsistent, to say the least, for tha senate of Canada to be posessed of powers of vetoing legislation passed two years in succession by tbo house of commons This was the fate of tlm legislation which was ratified by the commons, giving British Columbia the solo right to import liquor. As tha situation now stands, the liquor control board must continue to fight the huotlegger, who secures the bulk of his waros from ox port warehouses, either in a diroct or indirect way. Meanwhile, tho attorney- general asserts the last has not been heard of the matter, and tho province must continue fo fight for this legislation which will result in the elimation of all illicit dealing in spirituous liquors. The timber industry of British Columbia has been placed on a sound basis and largely through the activity of Hou. T. D Pattullo, ministrr of lands, and his forest branch officials. For the first six montha of this year the timber scale amounted to 1,206,- 936,927 board feet, as compared with 878,0*26,789 feet for the first six months of 1922. lt may be recalled that the period of timber expansion in this provinoe dates from a historic meeting in Hon. Mr. Pattullo's office shortly after the war. As a result of that meeting the Associated Timber Exporters grew up, and with the encouragement of tho government and promised financial backing, the latter proving unneuesss sary, large export orders were accepted and filled. Since that time the advance in this industry has boen steady and rapid. Honey was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans to preserve fresh fruits till they were desired. The method used was to immerse the fruit in honey-filled vessels which were covered over so as lo keep out all foreign matter. Tbis is extremely simple, but, nevertheless, reliable aud economical To t *st tbe worth of (his novel way of prw-orving, a few pears were put into a fruit jar and sufficient honey, warmed euough to flow like oil, was poured over tbem to completely cover t'*em. After being in the jar for several months they were re- moved and found to be sound and as solid as when placed there Vege tables having shells can also be kept fresh and usable by the snme treatment. Several cantaloupes were put in a largs eaathen jar. They were taken oat on Christmas and found to be in as good condition as tbe pears. It is essential not to use over-, ripe fruit; the results will be better, as a bard article taken out of tbe immersion can ba kept in tbe air for a time before deqafrMlto in. Sweet corn from whicb the husks bave been removed, watermelon, and other choice articles can be put away during tbeir season and ueed as wished. This makes it possible to bnve cheap fresb fruits and vegetables fur the table on Christmas, Easter, or any otber day. None of the noney need be wasted. One feature of this method iB tbe fact that tbe honey seems to seal tbe flavor. Perhaps other ways are also satisfactory in preserving fruits, but this one requires tbe least effort, suggest tbat a small amount of fruit be preserved by honey raisers first, so as to get tbe idea properly grounded. I am going to try tbe experiment this coming fall on grapes, peaches and plums. Let us all get together and belp boost the market for honey.—William A. Braun, in American Bee Journal. The Oriental problem involves a uew menace. Action has boen taken by the attorney general to curb the (•rowing and sale of "sake,"' Iho favorite Japanese whisky. Protests have been sent to Ottawa against the trafficking carried on by Japanese among Indian fishermen, sako being the p rsuasive used in many instances to induce the Indians t j part with their fish. In future it will be very difficult for Japanese to secure permits to manufacture the strong stnff, which is a distillation of rice and other ingredients. The practice of Ottawa has been to issne no permits unless approved by the province . affected, and Attorney-General Man- son states he will not give consent to auy such ventures in future. British Columbia is caring well for her mentally incapacitated. Last week Hou Dr. MacLean, provincial secretary laid the cornerstone of the new mental hospital at Essondale, a .cructure which will cost upwards of One for Canning During tbe time of George Ill's msanity the Prince of Wales, after. wards George IV, offered to bet Richard Brimsley Sheridan, the dramatist and politician, that lbe members of parliament would pay so little attention to tbe reading of bis speech from the throne that be could interpolate any nonsense be liked without anyone's showing sur- p. ise.

Chagrined at tbe loss of bis wager, Sheridan asked George Canning if he bad noticed anything strange.

Marquis Wheat Hadn't Earned the Right The friend of a certain captain of industry once applied to the great man for a job for his son, just out of college. "He's a bright, honest, modest young man," said the proud father, "if I do say so myself." "Modestl" snorted the industrial captain. "What has he ever done to be modest about)" Man has learned to do some remarkable things with organic life, both animal and vegetable. Ho must do the work experimentally, for although he has found out much about the laws that govern heredity, he can not account for some of the things that happen or fail to happen when living stocks are blended, But still he usually finds a way to get what he wants from Mother Nature, says The Youth's Companion. Let us consider, for an example, Marquis wheat. Northwestern Canada is a land of wide spread prairies well adapted, so far as soil is concerned, to wheat farming and too far north for any other crop that is nearly so profitable as wheat But you can not grow winter wheat in Canada or even in the northern tier of states of our own country. The severe winters are sure to kill any plants that have sprouted and begun to grow in the fall. Canada must have a spring-sown wheat, and, if its people are to take advantage of the fields that spread up to the Peace River valley within a few degrees of the Arctic circle, it must be a rapidly growing variety, one that matures within ten weeks of planting. There are other qualities that a useful variety must have. It must bo ablo to rosist drought no less than cold, for western Canada is often both coldaud dry; if it is to sell at a good price, it must mill well and bake well; and it must produce a high yield to the acre. There have always been varieties of wheat that have one or two of those five essential qualities, but until recently --there was none that combined all of them. That there is one now is owing to the long and patient labor of Dr. William Saunders of Ottawa and his two sons. Beginning with a Russian wheat that will ripen in a latitude of more than sixty degrees north, they crossed it with the well known Red Fife wheat, which has superior milling qualities. When they had got a hybrid variety that would ripen within seventy days and make excellent flour they bred into it a Calcutta wheat that is notable for its productiveness and for its power to resist drought And iO year after year they worked away, trying one combination after another, selecting this aud rejecting that, finding tnat one hopeful kind of crossbreeding would not answer and that another, tried on the off-chance, would answer very well, until at last they had produced a stable seed that would produce wheat with every desirable quality for subarctic culture. That wheat they call Marquis, Incidentally the Saunders established another variety that they cal led Prelude. It will rip m in eight weeks aud has been raised at Dawson within three degrees of the Arctic circle. It may perhaps be grown even in the lower Yukon valley. It does not produce heavily, however, and for that reason is not worth planting where any other variety will grow. The service of the Sannders family not only to 'their native country but to mankind as well is worthy of more recognition thau ib has received. They aro men who have done better than those whom Dean Swift praised so highly—the men who make two blades of grass or two ears of corn grow where only one grew before. They have caused whole acres of waviug grain to spring up where before none would grow. They have pushed forward the domain of civilized man in tha face of cold and drought and given to Canada now homos for its poople and uew sources of inexhaustible wealth. ANYOX FIRE WAS SPECTACULAR According to a Prince Rupert dispatch, details ofthe recent lire al Anyox show that the blaze began in tbe neighboring wo ids. Tbe flames crept toward the coke plant, wbere the manufacture of chemicals of a very explosive nature goes on. The plant is located near tbe foot of a wooded bluff. Embers from the burning brush were curried by the wind from an elevation right over tbe coke plant clear across the harbor. After a bard fight the flames were driven back from the coke plant The fire headed towards town but the only buildings lost were the Union church and the rectory. The fire cut the mine off from the town, as well as destroying considerable trestling. Great concern was felt when the fire got a grip oo the powder house. Dynamite started burning, finally exploded. At the mine, women and children found shelter in tunnels. In town all women and children were assembled on the beacb in readiness to take to gas boats. Wonderful Value for .$2.00 It is a source of constant wonder to publishers the world over how The Family Herald snd Weekly Star of Montreal can be printed and mailed to any part in Canada at tbe small subscription price of two dollars a year. Some otber papers may quote a lower subscription price but they do uot contain one-fifth, nor in many cases not even one-tenth of the reading matter published eacb week by the Family Herald and Weekly Star People every where are now selecting their rending material witb greater discrimination than in the past.

V. & E. Ratified. Weirs to Be Placed in Mill and Sand Creeks and Monthly Readings Taken Important Discovery The most important medical discovery in recent years, accoording to h dispatch from London, has been announced by Professor G. Freyer of Oxford university. His discovery consists in the finding of a method of stripping germs causing diseases from their protective coating of fat which renders tnem resistant from vaccine treatmets. Hitherto tbe trouble has been that vaccines composed of dead baccila bave been unable to attack tbeir living counterparts because of tbe latter's fat coating, and tbe more virulent tbe baccilus, as a rule, tbe more heavy the overcoat of fat it wears. Professor Freyer has discovered a method of starving tbe germs until their fat is gone, when they become more susceptible io tbe vaccines. The method was tested first in guinea pigs inoculated with tuberculosis baccilla, with the result that some whicb were not treated died while others treated when the disease was far advanced were completely cured, their leisons having healed and disappeared. At St. Mary's hospital in London three years' tests on sixty human subjects made by Drs. Fields and Western brought definite improve ment in nearly all casos. The doctors report that it is too soon to say more than that the methods nre extremely promising of excellent re eults. Mayor Hull and all thn aldermen were present at tbe regular meeting of the city council on Monday evening. A letter was received from Vancouver, extending an invitation to Mayor Hull to be present al the reception to be given President Harding on the 26lh inst, but tbe mayor slated tbat he would be unable to attend and tbe letter was filed. Notice was received of the convention of fire chiefs iu Vancouver on July 31st to August 3rd, and a request was read from tbe local firu department requesting tbat Chief Savage be sent to tbe coast city as a delegate from this city. The request was granted, tbe council voting 85] for expenses and the time the chi spends at tbe convention to be deducted from bis annual vacation. The council asked the fire department to make regular quarterly reports of its operations, including fires, etc. The agreement between the Vancouver, Victoria & Bistern Railway company aud tbe city council in regard to tbe location of tbe passenger and freight stations iu thiB city was ratified. Thegistofthe agreement is to tbe effect that tbe stations are to remain where they now are during tbe life of the present bridge across tbe Kettle river. Joe Selzer interviewed Lie council, claiming tbat bis yearling heifer bad been wounded wbile in tbe city pond and bad died from tbe effects of tbe wounds. He presented a bill for 925 damages. Tbe bill was tabled pending an enquiry. Tenders were received for moving the city electrician's sbop aod storeroom to tbe rear of tbe city lots.

FRIDAY, -JULY 27. 192.3 Notes, Notions and Notables The great importance bf ethylene, the new anaesthetic that was recently discovered by two Chicago University doctors, lies in its having no poisonous effects. It neither acts on the heart nor produces nausea. The patient may even eat aod drink before an operation without danger or discomfort. It gives complete anaesthesia in an oxtrordinarily short time, often within a minute. Last summer, says the Literary Digest, a grove of catalpa trees near Troy, Ohio, was almost defoliated by the ravages of citerpil< lars. Then the aeroplane came to the rescue Flying over the grove and spilling arsenate of lead from a hopper attached to the fuselage, the aeroplane accomplished in one m nute what could hardly have been accomplished by twenty of the most powerful spraying machines. The experiment was completely successful. Nearly all of the caterpillars were destroyed. Plans are under way to provide for the family of James Reid, whose patient effort produced "Reid's Yellow Dent" corn, which according to the Journal of Heredity, is the most valuable kind of Indian ever produced. The first work in creating the strain was done by Reid's father, who began by crossing two distinct varieties of yellow corn. From the results of that cross James produoed a variety that proved to be adapted to a wide range of conditions and that has served as the foundation of a number of strains. The type was so strongly marked that iu spite of hybridization and selection to meet various eonditions the results of Reid's work are still evident in a large part of '•he yellow corn now grown. The "flivver" aeroplane has arrived. It is Only fifteen feet long and has a wing spread of forty feet. The motor is of twelve horsepower, and the little machine can get up a speed of seventy miles an hour. It will rise and land in a comparatively narrow space and "take off" when going only ten miles an hour. The pilot, a Frenchman named Barbot, says that the aeroplanes can be built in quantity for $400 each, and that they will fly one hundred and twenty five miles on a gallon of gasoline. Only the other day an American jury awarded damages of $15,000 and costs of .$10,000 to t > a woman whose husbai d had been killed by a bale of cotton that fell on him. Thedam- « >es may have been ample, but the point is that the fatal accident occurred twelve years •i .jo and that the case has been dawdling through the courts ever since. Even now another appeal is announced. That is not the pr >per sort of justice; court procedure that p 't-mits such unconscionable delays ought s ' nehow to be reformed _ If the woman was fiiply entitled to an award, she should have h 11 it when the money was needed to bring ii i the family of small children with which she wis left. If she did not deserve it, the case si >uld have been cleared from the docket y • irs ago. A recent report of the progress made in building the Pan-American railway shows, says a news dispatch, that between 65 and 70 per cent of it has been completed. The road will furnish a tnrough overland service from New York to Buenos Ayres and will cover 10,116 miles. Through railway service is now possible from New York to the Guatemala border, and from Guatemala to the canal zone about half of the line is finished. The longest uncompleted stretch is from the canal zone through Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. E.C. Henniger Go.

Chief Justice Lemieux of Quebec told the jury in the Delorme case that everyone, even priests and kings, are equal before the law He said: "My friend, before the law everyone is equal, Everyone is equal; the king himself flinches before the law. It would bea travesty of justice if, on account of a priestly charac ter, an accused man were given other treat ment than any other accused man." These instructions of Mr. Justice Lemieux will make legal history in Canada. They will go down as one of the most fearless assays on the majesty of Canadian law ever uttered or written. This dictum is something we have been waiting for, something that will definitely and legally establish Canadian law and Canadian justice above every consideration of superstition, fear or prejudice in the Dominion. Mr. Justice Lemieux's conception of justice is a conception which no sacrifice is too great to keepun- defied.—Vancouver Sun. When the war ended Austria was in the worst of situations; no one eould see any hope fir it, stripped, as it was, of all its wealth- producting territories and reduced to political aud financial bankruptcy. Yet today its cur- rencp is stabilized and worth more than that of Germany. Its administration is reformed, business is improving, a balanced budget is in sight, and a great international loan, obtained tbrough the Leaoue of Nations, has been oversubscribed. If there ever was any doubt that thc threatened bankruptcy of Germany and the frightfully debased currency of Germany is unncessary and deliberate, the experience of Austria proves it. Financially and industrially Germany is twenty times stronger than the present Austria. As soon as the German government makes up its mind to do so it can stabilize its currency and return to solvency.

Careful enquiry at the Government offices in the various provinces reveals the fact that there are at the presant time nearly 251) Infant Blind in the Dominion. Nothing has yet been done for those helpless little ones. In the United States, 16 years ago, the first home was opened in New York City; they have now homes in 13 States, all doing excellent work, In England, some time ago, Sir Arthur Pearson organized "Sunshine House," Chorloy Wood, for Blind Babies, and he claims that it is the only one iu tho British Empire.

One hundred and forty thousand Canadian school boys have been banded into an army of guards to watch for and prevent forest fires in the Dominion this year, according to an announcement made by the Canadian Forestry Association. The new organiziation, which is known as the Young Canadians' Forest League, will, it is expected, save several million dollars' worth of timber from fire ravages. That "prospects for increased immigration into Canada are excellent" was one of the most important statements made by E. W. Beatty, K.C, upon his return from an extended tour of England and European capitals. The president of the Canadian Pacific Railway believes Canada is progressing in the matter of immigration, but intensified efforts are essential, he considers, to offset erroneous impressions abroad that Canada does not require new settlers. A record run between Winnipeg and Quebec was recently made by a special Canadian Pacific train when passengers from the Orient were, through delay caused by landslide, in danger of missing their connection with the C.P.S.S.

The passengers hnd crossed the Pacific on the C.P.S.S. "Empress of Russia" and were taking advantage of the 21 day Orient-to-Europe service of the Company. The United States has invested in Canada $2,500,000,000, according to the Bankers' Trust Company of New York, which has just completed a survey of Canadian industry and the amount of United States capital invested. Of the total sum invested, $1,200,000,000 is in bonds, and the remainder in farms, mortgages, small businesses, industrial enterprises, banking and private loans. It is computed that more than 200 branch factories were opened in Canada by United States concerns in 1919, and a great number in 1920 and 1921, and that late in 1922 the number of these came to 700. A collie dog is reported to ham saved thtj life of a London West girl, while accompanying the child to a nearby store. On the way she Btopped on the C. P. R. railroad tracks in the path of a westbound flier. Realizing the child's peril, the dog threw himself against her with sufficient impact to knock her clear of danger, and was cut to pieces by the train before he could regain safety. The girl's mother tried to discourse the dog from going when tho daughter started for tbe store, but he went, and was the means of saving the child's life, and died heroic ally as a result. ~ .^ _ s. Speaking to the Canadian Club in London, Eng., recently, E. W. Beatty, President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, contrasted the "irritating tortoise-like slowness" of Canada's population policy with Australia's progressiveness. "We Canadians would be wise to keep our gates open for brains as well as biuwn," ho said. One hundred and fifty delegate* of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association will tour the British Isles next summer, and hold their annual convention in London, according to decisions reached at the final meeting of the convention here. The J arty will leave about the first of une, and will attend the British Empire Exhibition. The tour will last about six week*. Traffic through the Lachine Canal during the month of June showed a increase of two million bushels of grain and one hundred thousand tons of eoal with increases in pulpwood, produce and passengers over the same month of the previous year. The wheat crop of Alberta and M'.nnitoba has progressed so well on account of lhe abundant moisture of | the early season that farmers, business men and railroad companies are preparing for a harvest in excess of | the record one of 1916. Prince Rupert, B.C., claims the world's best record for a one trip fish catch. A fishing schooner arrived at this port recently after being at sea 14tt days, with 38,000 pounds of halibut, which sold for a sum that netted each man of the | crew of five $727.80. In the Province of Ontario, it is estimated, the lumber cut in 1922 amounted to 309,000,000 board feet, and in addition 289,113 cords of pulpwood. The Province of Nova Scotia cut 125,000,000 feet, New Brunswick 210,000,000 feet, and British Columbia 273,146,000 board feet The Dominion Express hae just effected a shipment from Hamburg to Kobe, Japan, in 32 days. The average time consumed between the same two points via the Suez Carnal is 49 days, and the saving thus made by the Canadian route will be of great importance in helping make [ this country the road between Europe and the Orient. The total value of the pelts of fur- bearing animals taken in the Dominion during the season of 1921-22 was $17,438,800, an increase over the previous year of $7,287,273, or 72 per cent., and the number of pelts of all kinds was 4,366,790, an increase over the previous season of | 48 per cent. These figures comprise pelts of animals taken by trappers and pelts of ranch-bred animals. Tests of ceramic clay resources in British Columbia are being planned this summer by the British Columbia Government. The tests will be made under the auspices of the Department of Education and the Department of Industries. There are many varieties of clays in British Columbia and some are reported to be particularly suited to the manufacture of high class pottery ware. A reduction of express rates on westward moving ■ business between Europe and Canada was announced by the Foreign Department of the Dominion Express Company recently. This reduction on westbound shipments follows a similar cut on shipments from Europe to Canada made a little while ago, and amounts to a reduction of approximately twenty per cent, on the trans-ocean trip. The rates came into effect on July 9 between all points in Canada and Europe. The Banff-Windermere highway, the last link in the 6,000-mile chain of good roads which extend from the heart of the Canadian Rockies to California and return is now open to motor traffic, having been officially opened on June 30th by the cutting of a riband at Kootenay crossing in the presence of a number of Federal and Provincial Government officials, and a host of automobile tourists. The completion of this road has rendered accessible the most beautiful scenis country on the continent. ****** ■ . i A new direct passage service between Canada and northern Ireland has been inaugurated by the Canadian Pacific Steamships, Ltd. Three steamers have been assigned to the route. James Edwards, of Port Robinson, declares he has a chicken out of this year's hatch which out-freaks most chicken freaks. This one has four legs, four wings, two backs, two necks but only one bead. It h been preserved in alcohol. One hundred and fifty families are to be brought into British Columbia and settled under private enterprise in the valleys east and south-east of Fort George, W. A. Lewthwaite announced, following hia return from England recently. Up to the end of 1922 dividends paid by the gold and silver mines of northern Ontario amounted to oveT $123,135,000. Cobalt camp was discovered late in 1903 and hardly began producing until -1905. Dividends paid out of Cobalt mines amount to $93,868,820, which represents practically 60 per cent, of the gross value of production. Porcupine mines have paid $28,472,988. George E. Buchanan, of Detroit, liead of ttie "On to Alaska with Buchanan" movement, will have 52 boys and 24 adults or members of the boys' families when he pei-son- ally conducts hie party from Vancouver July 18 via Canadian Pacific "Princess" steamer. Buchanan thinks, with President Harding, that a trip to Alaska 1* a Mberal education to any boy who takes it.

What was the name of the ship that blew up and almost wiped out thc city of Halifax? What German submarine torpedoed the Lusijania? It is a safe bet that you would not get one correct answer.

Donaldson's Phone 30 xiiiiiiiiiiTixixrixxr Canada Faces the Future With Confidence CANADIANS have always been noted for courage, optimism and faith in their country. Canada was not built up by pessimists, nor will Canada continue to develop if her people allow themselves to become croakers and grouchers. Canada is fundamentally an agricultural country. We have a soil and climate which can grow the world's finest agricultural products. Canadian farmers who have earned the capital invested in their farms out of profits in farming are numbered in thousands. These successful farmers have paid off their mortgages, stocked their barns and stables, bought their machinery, made a good living and brought up their families. It meant hard work, but today they are independent. Money in Mixed Farming In recent years, at different points on the prairies, oats fed to steers have I >rought from 70c to $1.07 as against the Fort William price of 42c per bushel, while barley used for the same purpose has brought as high aa 99c as against the Fort William price of 57c per bushel. Farmers marketing their coarse grains in this way lower marketing cost, have a sure market and make money on their grain, while at the same time they market their roughage, otherwise often wasted. The cattle embargo is now off. Steers are worth more money and certain to make good money for the Canadian farmer from now on. Money in Pigs The Dominion Experimental Farms have proved by actual test that there ls a profit in feeding pigs. Last year at the Central Farm, Ottawa, after paying for feea, labor, interest and depreciation, the net profit per pig was still $4.63. Profits from Sheep As money-makers, sheep are hard to beat. In every Province from Prince Edward Island to British Columbia are found many flocks returning generous profits to their owners. We Must Cut Production Costs Canada is meeting with the keenest competition in the marketing of her products. To hold her own and regain her place on the world's market, she must reduce cost of production. The only way to do this is to increase production per acre, per cow or per other unit. Bnt improved quality, also, is essential to meet market demands. The quantity and the quality of the products and the cost of production in competitive countries is beyond onr control. Prices of agricultural pro-tacts are regulated by world supply and demand Hence, decreasing production will not help the Canadian farmer. Poultry Pays Poultry makes money for those who adopt modern methods, whether East or West. Little Prince Edward Island markets co-operatively in carlots, shipping annually upwards of one million dozen eggs. The British Columbia Co-operative Poultry Men's Exchange markets in the same way, thus saving ruinous glut in their local market. There is a market for good Canadian horses, whether light or draught. Grow Seed Canada's Northern grown seed possesses extra vitality. There }s****m*m***mma*mai is a large market for it to the south. Canada exports seed potatoes, but imports other seeds. She has the opportunity to grow seeds for herself and for export. The Future Ten years from now the pessimists of today will have been forgotten. Britain has removed the embargo against our cattle. She wants our beef and bacon, our cheese, butter, eggs and apples, our wheat and flour. As the population of the United States increases, she will compete less and less against us on the British market. Eventually, she will herself be an importer of many other food stuffs besides wheat from this country. Canada has the men, the climate, the land, the stock and the potential markets necessary for agricultural success. Let us farm with all the industry and science we can muster. Let's get to work and pay our debts. Canada is moving forward with confidence in its future. Let us keep going ahead.
