He who has learned not to speak unnecessarily, avoids a lot of trouble LATE MINISTER OF f-jT'l HE death of Hon. William J Sloan, minister of mines and commissioner of fisheries In the Liberal government of British Columbia, ha* removed one of the most outstanding political figures of Canada. His loss will be keenly felt and it will be difficult to replace the man whose broad policieq have placed the mining Industry of the Pacific province in the world's limelight. The late Mr. Sloan was a Yukon miner himself, and thus understood mining men and their needs as few do. He made a modest fortune in the Klondyke In the early day*, and when he entered politics, which he loved, proved himself at once an eminent administrator and a keen master of political situations. For years Hon. Mr. Sloan busied himself with establishing the mining Industry on a firm foundation. , He built roads and trails into the most promising fields, a work which has already resulted in opening up some ' £ ot the richest mineral lands of the : %^,- (Ana KETTLE VALLEy ORCHARDIST TWENTY -SEVENTH YEAR—No 19 "Tell itm whni y>m Know In true I '*«n RUOM n i v.i'M nsyou."

M' EXIOO OITY, MardB'5.—All | the Mexico City newspapers J have gone wild over the half- breed son of a former British citizen and a native squaw, who,vin a desolate, barren district under a torrid sun, is daily performing miracles like the thaumaturge of other days. Full pages,, with heavy type headings, are devoted to the accounts of special correspondents sent to Espinazo, in the state of San Luis l'otosi, to verify the miraculous doings of Fidenclo Constantino, who makes the dumb talk, the blind see, paralytics walk and brings reason to the insane. Doctors in Despair Physicians for many miles around Espinazo are despairing because they are being deserted by their patients, who have been lured by the fantastic reports regarding Fidenclo. Efforts to make either the federal government or the local authorities stop tbe activities of the alleged charlatan heretofore have been fruitless. iFIfteen thousand persons suffering from all sorts of maladies trom leprosy to consumption have gathered at Espinazo which, formerly a flag station, has now become a city of misery, the people living In hovels und tens while 200 houses are being nip- Idly built tq accommodate them. The new thaumaturgus, still In his twenties, looks like an aborigine. He dresses in overalls and wears a cap. He Is an accomplished dentist. He not only pulls teeth but he also cuts off Angers and opens tumors without the least pain for the patients, although he uses no anesthetics. Uses Unguent Insane and mentally deranged persons have been cured with violent swaying in a swing near Fldenclo's hut while the thaumaturge keeps up a monotonous chant. An unguent prepared in a huge caldron by boiling rosin, honey, soap and other mysterious Ingredients as well as a beverage prepared by boiling all sorts of herbs and fruits presented to Fidenclo is the only panacea used for all the maladies. - (He works from sixty to seventy hours at one stretch, being fed while at work. He attends only those who can be cured and is brutally plain with the others, foretelling their death. He thrusts both his arms In the boiling unguent without burning himself. .President Calles recently visited Espinazo and is declared by persons accompanying him to have been impressed by Fidenclo, who told the president that the same powers which endowed him with the extraordinary Held ever discovered any-! said Sir Davis Harris, member of th eussernbly for Klmberley.j director of the Debeers Consolidated Mines, Limited, and chairman of the Jagersfonteiu Estate and Diamond Mining company. To Be "State Diggings" Minister Beyers announced that it waa the intention of the government to declare the whole area, which contained 30,000 claims, as "state diggings." .it was, he said, unthinkable for the government to do otherwise, since this would mean foroing very large quantitieq of diamond* on the market, which was most undesirable, Describing the richness of the field, the minister declared that he personally had picked up diamonds to the value of 600 pounds ($3000) in one hour. Fears were expressed by memberB of the opposition that the overseas press would blaze forth the impression that South Africa was paved with diamonds. Mr. Beyers warned the house that such an impression was erroneous. Nevertheless, he characterized the diamond fields in Namaqualund as an El Dorado.uuique in the history of the country. Opposition Raps Idea Experts already, have taken diamonds valued at 160,000 pounds in a few weeks' hand-picking, it was announced, from 100 claims owned by the government. The output of the new field will be controlled by the government, which will employ a :iirge orce of diggers. The opposition, of which former l'remier General J. C. Smuts is the loader, deprecated the principle of ihe diamond diggings being controlled by the state. The Government Gazette ot South Africa about a year ago announced lhat all diamond prospecting on crown ;i nil private lands would be prohibited tor twelve mouths. Diamond diggers in Blctorla, South Africa, Immediately protested to the minister, of mines and industries, demanding that cer- ain districts, closed to restrict the output 'n order to hold the price of diamonds, should be turned over to he diggers. The minister described the demands of the delegation as impracticable. SUN'S WEEKLY TRAVELOGUE APLES, Italy's largest southern city, cannot boast the architectural beauty of the north cm cities, but Its people, whether rich or poor, are strikingly beautiful physically. From the storied heights that sweep in a tnagniflcen amphitheater around the brilliant bay the old dtp struggles downward In a picturesque huddle of densely-packed houses and other buildings, tortuous; streets full-of color and bubbling with the nervous activity of the South, black canyons of stone stairs, often slippery with damp and dirt, across which teeming houses gossip and qarrel neighborly wise. Nowhere are 'flsfoerfolk more picturesque in habit and costume; nowhere Is there so salty a dialect spiced with such quaint and startling prases and exclamations. Bare and brown of leg, dressed in ragged parti-colored motley, a stout canvas band about each sinewp body foil hauling in the net without cutting the hands to spieces, they bring ashore their shimmering silver quarry right aiong the widest, finest promenade In the city—the handsome Via Caracclolo. Across that broad street the charming Villa Nazionale, not a house, but a public park.wholly conventional in design, contains an aquarium which may fairly be considered the most remarkable in the world for both the variety and interest • of its finny and monstrous exhibits and the thoroughness of Its sdentinc work.

Iliey have always been a theater of tremendous volcunlc actlvltp, but the disturbances have no connection, curiously enough, with Vesuvius; also, the two areas are wholly different in geological character and formation. Dominated by Vesuvius The spongy nature of the rock of the Phlegraean fields allowed the Internal steam and gaseB to escape with relatively little resistance at nu merous points; so, instead of one tremendous peak being formed, as in the case of Vesuvius, many little craters wart the ground. On the east Vesuvius dominates the whole splendid region. He is the Cyclops standing, blind and massive and treacherous, in the midst of his rich vlneyarrds, olive groves, and ve getable gardens; for, though he spreads destruction in his blind rages, the fact is that this entire plana Is the marvelously fertile soil that disintegrated lava and volcanic ashes make. It bears huge crops, far greater and finer than ordinarp good wine Is termed Lacrlnm Crist!— Tears of Christ. After the great eruption of A.D. 79 there were occasional eruptions which varied in Intensity, until 1500, when tlie volcano became quiescent. The crater walls grew up thick with trees and scrub, while cattle and wild boars roamed the grassy plain inside—all but an ominous lower level of ashes and pools of hot, gaseous water. Then, in December of 1631, the whole interior was blown violently out, and 1S.O0O people are said to have perished. Since then Vesuvius has never been entirely quiet. It was horrible hot mud that overwhelmed fashionable Herculaneum in 79, belched from the crater as torrents of steam, boiling water, and scoriae. Herculaneum is a rich and tempting bait to the archeologists, for from a single of the ruins came most of those exquisite bronzes in the Naples Museum, and 3000 rolls of papyrus, part of the owner's private library. What a contrast to Pompeii, de- s l roped at the same time, but by a ashes! "Uiough these graadually hardened into something like cement, they are much more easily removed than the stone at Herculaneum, and most of what we know of the details of ancient Latin life we have learned from the stark, scarred.roofless stor- i-is spread out before us in deathly I anorama within the old city walls.

APPLE CRATES ELOWNA, March 5.—The passing of the crate as an apple container is forecasted in resolution:: passed by the British Columbia Shippers Federation, It is stated that the cost of the actual shook in a crate is more than a box, and the making of It is more expensive. Also, in the matter of reshipment on prairie points, crates take a higher rate and are more likely to suffer from pilferage. Another matter was the question of definite color requirements for C grade, it being suggested that a 25 per eut showing will be obligatory. A s: ;e requirement Is also likely, de- pen'in , en the fancy packout. The now pi. ;-:age will be known as domestic i.: il will be a jumble pack and will pern:it, as it is for fast consumption,, a percentage of stem punctures. Resolutions covering these points have been sent to the Western Canada Jobbers' association, Canadian Horticultural Council, department of horticulture at Ottawa, fruit inspectors and others interested, and it is proposed to make this effective after the 1028 crop has been moved. HON. WM. SLOAN AT VICTORIA y.' PLEASES JONES VICTORIA, March 5.—"The first friendly gesture to the dry belt, which we appreciate very much," was the comment made by ,T. W. Jones, member for South Okanagan on Thursday, in speaking in tho legislature* to the second reading of the water act amendment, which proposes to grant rebates on principal and interest up to a maximum of 25 per cent on the loaans made to water districts down to the end of 1923. Mr. Jones added, however, that he was not satisfied with the gift, and urged the government to extend operation of the rebate to the end of 1927. Mr. Jones declared that a large pro portion of Okauagan's population hud departed while the minister had been trying to handle this problem during the last ten years. "The minister has thrown overboard the recommendation of Major Swan, who recently Investigated conditions in the Okanagan, and adopted a proposal 1 myself made several years ago," added Mr, Jones.

That, at all events, ts the only conclusion we can come to after reading a discussion in parliament. According to Mr. Stirling, who comes from the Okanagan valley, a farmer in that fair clime puts 140 Extra Fancy Delicious apples into a box and sells the whole thing for $2.35. After that a railway company takes the box and brings It to Ottawa for a charge ol 75 cents, plus 10 cents for heas'ing. There Is also (only tbe Lord kn : why) a brokerage charge of 5 cen on the box; the result being that v.hen tho apples gets here their cost is about 2V£ cents each. "The other day, not thinking particularly about doctors, but just in response to a craving, we bought two ot those apples. They cost its exactly 25 cents—or 12% cents each. Why? "We're not suggesting that the dealer who sold them to us is a robber, or a pirate, or an Immoral man. But bless us if we wouldn't like to know why there should be a spread of 9% cents on an apple from the time it arrives in Ottawa to the time when somebody with a sweet tooth buys It over a counter. «Vho gets the '"/4 cents? It can't be that some one person gets It, because If that were so, then all the people who are selling apples would be rich, and they don't appear to be. There must be some other reason; and we'd like to know it." PASSENGER8 ON ATLANTIC STEAMER SEE PEOPLE IN LONDON STUDIO S.S.

The .Great Lakes for a summer holiday have no equal. Contrary to the generally prevailing opinion that the automobile and touring and camping are a greater attraction, these large bodies of fresh water, really inland seas, are holding their own, Indeed, by those who know it is said that they are doing more. From Port MeNicoll to the Head ol the Lake-, is practically an ocean voyage. The great white steamers of the Canadian Pacific Railway are operated tho same as the huge ocean liners. At Port MeNicoll the visitor sees a man made harbor, surrounded by a village which has been developed from the original within the last twenty years. About an hour and a half after leaving port, a bugle sounds the dining call, and going below the traveller finds the dining- room spacious and comfortable which greatly whets the already huge appetite. ■ After dinner a promenade of the broad white decks, as motionless as the city streets, but with what a difference! The fresh clean breeze stiffens, the sun strikes the horizon and sinks in blazing splendour leaving behind a sense of peace pnd well-being. Host upon host of graceful white-spread wings appear over the stern, crying the poignant call of the hungry gull. So still they are as to appear motionless, a floating bit of white feather; but a chance opening of the cooks galley port hole brings them swooping down, screaming with the wildnoss of the blizzard, with a strength and speed that is amazing. Land slowly disappea. and the island.; are lost in the soft enfolding darkness. Stars come out, and a wnite moon floods the lake with an ethereal beauty. All is quiet—a friendly intimate quiet — broken here and there by a merry laugh, a passing footstep, the throb of the great engine and the spark on the wireless up above. A little later we pass the protruding Bruce peninsula, then the Manitoulin Island, the home of the Great Spirit. In the distance can be seen the blinking light of the mariners' guides, the lighthouses at Cabot's Head, Lonely Island, the Flower Pots and in the furthe istance ah ad, Cove Island, the marking point oi the entrance to Lake Huron. These steamships, the "Keewa- tin", "Manitoba," and "Assiniboia" of the Canadian Pacific service are first-class in every way, and ply these inland waters from May 21st. to September 28th.

If there are to be sound teeth, there must be provided the materials from which to build such teeth. Mineral elements, such as calcium, form a Ifirge part of the teeth which, in many ways, are like bone. 'Hie outer surface, or crown of the tooth, is much harder than bone. This outer surface or enamel Is the hardest substance in the body. These mineral substances can only be secured from the food eaten. In other words, proper food must be eaten If we are to bave sound teeth. The kind of teeth a child has depends upon the kind of food his mother ate before his birth, and upon what food he receives during his earliest years. The beginning of the tooth is laid down very early in life, at the tenth week of foetal life, to be exact. This is one of the reasons why expectant mothers should know what to eat. What are these foods that the expectant mother and growing children must have for the proper building of teeth? Foods possessing these elements are milk find milk products, whole grains, leafy vegetables, such as celery, lettuce and spinach. It will be-remarked, whenever the question of diet is considered in relation to health, that milk and milk products are of the first Importance and, following closely, are the green leatp vegetables and fruits.

THE old Fori! cur, in short, was regurded humorously—the humor might be derisive or II night be affectionate or it might be upologetlc—and Its nnpid multiplication on the roads soon mnde It a nu tloiii.il subject for humorous unci: dote. .lokes about the Ford were "whiat the public wanted." The popular names and the popular humor, however, were curiously dissociated. One may examine a large number o, ouch "jokes," and be surprised to find how seldom the jokemaker refers to the object of his mithful intention as anything but a Ford. Eight ir nine pears ago, when this form ol humor had perhaps reached its peak, there were at least eight small vol umes of "Ford jokes" in slmultane ojb circulation' to say nothing of al! the "Ford jokes" being printed In newspapers and magazines, and given further circulation by word of mouth. It is interesting also In turning the pages of a typical joke book, to find how much the ingenuity of the jokers was ablo tu produce out of the small- ness of the cur, its low co3t, and the useful notion that it was made out o tin. And Henry let them kid his little car, knowing tliprt Ford jokes'sold more Fords. Nineteen years ago Henry Ford said: "Wo will build a motor car for the great multitude. It will be large enough for the familp, but smpll enough lor the individual to run and care for. It wll ble constructed, of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs modern engineering can devise. But it will be so low In price thpt no man making a good salary will be unable to own one." Fifteen million cars and jokes resulted. Henry, I predict the new Ford will give the public a million million miles and miles.

General News Another body of sportsmen are finding Montreal and Eastern Canada good places in winter at well as summer. The Appalachian Mountain Club, o( •Boston, picked the best period of the winter season to spend a week in the Lauren- tians mainly devoted to ski-ing, but with sleighing, dog-mushing and tobogganing thrown in.

Resignation of Colonel Walter Maughan as Canadian Pacific Steamship Passenger Traffic Manager has been followed by the appointment of William Baird, who was assistant European Manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway in London, Eng. Mr. Baird, whose appointment is effective March 1, joined the Allan Line steamship company at Glasgow as junior clerk in 1906 and came into C. P. service when that company took over the Allan Line in 1016. Bee keeping in Saskatchewan made marked progress in 1027, there being an increase of 45 per cent in the number of colonies over those of 1026 and an increase of 191 percent in the 1027 ' honey crop over that of the previous year. The number of spring colonies in 1927 was, ,'1,803 which increased to 5,962 by the fall count. The production of comb honey for the year was 64,042 pounds and of extracted honey 436,- 932 pounds, making ah average production per colony of 148 Vi pounds. • Airplanes are now being used to herd vast numbers of reindeer in the big Arctic stock farms, according to Ralph Lomen, pioneer of thr reindeer industry of Alaska. "It's a new idea and it's not -being practiced regularly, but herding by airplanes aeem feasible," said Mr. Lomen. "Our head herdsman went out recently and in two hours accomplished as much as would otherwise have required a week with six men. There is room for 12,000,000 reindeer in the northern tundra of Canada and such a herd would be worth $50,000,000. It could be done in 50 years if Canada started now in a modest way."
