Pooley Says Nelson Has Passed Buck Self-contained Pre-cooling Successful Federal Member for West Kootenay Comments on Douks VICTORIA, Sept.. 19—Reports that fanatical Doukhobors encamped out. side Nelson are causing a serious sanl. tary problem will be investigated by Dr. H. E. Young, provincial health officer, Acting Premier Pooley an nounced yesterday. Dr, Young will leave for the Interior immediately and submit an early reply to the government. Mr. Pooley had before him yesterday a sheaf of telegrams from Mel- son declaring that conditions in the ROSSLAND, Sept. 17—Commenting on the Doukhobor situation, W. K. Baling, member for West Kootenay, ■aid: "It la true that the Provincial Government primarily ls responsible tor tbe enforcement' of the law, but it must be apparent that the Federal Government should share the responsibility for the conduct of these fanatics, because not only did it bring these people to Canada, but in 1898 it bonused them to come. In 1919 the government put a ban on entry cf Doukhobors and in 1926 lt lifted the ban and permitted further entry. "The first party of Doukhobore entered Canada ln 1899 and (33,000 was handed to a committee of the new arrivals by way of bonus; in addition to which 100,000 was loaned them. '.'By an order in council dated De- camber 6, 1898 the Federal Government gave each member of this sect fullest assurance of absolute immunity from military service, which assurance had been denied them by the Russian Government and so they came to Canada." These facts, said Mr. Esling, would justify the placing of a share of tbe responsibility for the conduct of these people upon the Federal Government. One difficulty is that many of them were born here, and another Is that they cannot be deported because Soviet Russia will not receive them.

Claims One of the representatives of the In terior Committee on the prairie sends in the following summary of the claims passed in the district under his supervision. Tomatoes, $630.00; cukes, $364.00; cots, $325.00; Cherries, $187.00 a considerable expansion of the apple market, particularly in the cities. Similar companies are being formed for Calgary, Winnipeg, etc. The Vancouver territory hag been allocated to the first company, which wlll be comprised largely of Penticton fruit growers and business men. The great "kick" of the grower ln the past has been about the small share he received of the consumer's dollars. This direct method of sale, supplementing aa lt does the marketing through ordinary trade channels, should greatly increase consumption, it ls believed, and will therefore aid orchardists ln general as well as stockholder. the Granby Will Get Increased Power Supply Confident Growers Will Get Relief That the application of the British Columbia fruit interests for a reduction of railway rates on fruit has never been judicially dealt witb by the Dominion board of railway commissioners was the Interesting statement made by Leon Ladner, M.P. for South Vancouver, at a roundtable conference at Vernon last week, convened by the special committee representing growers named some weeks ago to push the flght for more favorable treatment of British Columbia commodities by tbe transportation companies. According to Mr. Ladner, who explained the present situation in regard to the push for better rates, all the railway board dii in reference to the fruit rates when it heard the case ing ls unsafe and some trade ls being lost to Yakima.

As Saskatchewan has recently arrested large numbers of Doukhobors and ls understood to hold the federal authorities responsible for the ex pense Involved, a substantial bill, running into many thousands of doi lars, will be submitted to the Dominion shortly, lt is expected. The total cost in he case of this province is made up of the expense of hiring special constables to quell the recent disturbances called the "Battle of Nelson," of bringing 104 arrested Doukhobors to the Coast, and of keeping them ln Oakalla jail for their term of six months' imprisonment. The provincial claim ■ against tht Dominion, officials here believe, is well founded. The Doukhobors, lt was explained, were brought here by the Federal Government under a ape cial contract, and still remain wards of the Dominion. The province feels that the responsibility for maintaining law among them rests squarely with the federal authorities. This view, lt ls understood, ls shared ln Saskatchewan, where similar Doukhobor colonies exist. DOUKS WIRE KINO NELSON, Sept. 17—Members of the Sons of Freedom, fanatical Doukhobor sect encamped at the city limits, yesterday sent a telegram to Premier King at Ottawa, requesting that the Dominion Government look into their case. Following is a copy of the wire: "Rt. Hon. Mackenzie King, Premier of Canada, Ottawa, Ont.: "Our progress based on love, teach Ings of Christ . Authorities of B.C.

In order to emphasize their unwillingness to obey Canadian laws, many of them have gone on nude parades, and, as a result, now find themselves working off jail sentences. They havo been herded Into the jails in droves and constitute a real problem, for it costs money to house and keep 200 people for six months or so. Just now there is a clamor for the deportation of Peter Veregin, leader of the Doukhobors. If press reports are correct, this man has been extremely active lately in trying,to control the Sons of Freedom. We read that he exhausted his powers of persuasion ln trying to prevent one of the nude parades, and finally resorted to his fists. If these things are true, lt ls difficult to understand why so many people are crying for Vere gin's scalp. Persons dentinding Verefjlrf's de portation cuold no doubt prove that he has, at one time or another, made uncomplimentary 'remarks about the king or the government or the school system. His action durlgn the recent unpleasantness should, however, speak louder than any worrds he has uttered ln the past. For, after all, Veregin is a Doukhobor, and must be sympathetic to the Doukhobor point of view on various questions. As one Vancouver man who has recently been studying the Doukhobor situation pput lt: "Veregin has to make a crack now and then to keep in with his own peo pie." Properly treated, Veregin should prove a very valuable man both to Canada and the Doukhobors. Persons who know him say that he is up-to- date ln his views and has a very human personality. It would seem that he is ideally suited to the task of reconciling his people to the laws and customs of their adopted country. The hue and cry about the Doukhobors has aroused a great deal of popular feeling, one evidence of which is the demand for Veregin's deportation. There may be sound reasons for such a demand. We have not heard of them.—Western Tribune. Penticton Growers Will Combat the Jonathan Breakdown Making a definite move to fight the Jonathan breakdown, the Penticton Co-operative Growers decided recently upon a new basis of handling this troublesome apple crop. After consultation with Mr. R. C. Palmer, of the Summerland Experimental Station, lt has been decided to divide the 1920 crop Into two sections, the light bearing trees and those heavily loaded. It has been found by experimentation and observation that the trees bearing a Ugh crop -must be picked early to avoid breakdown. The date on which lightly loaded trees must be picked will be somewhere between September 28 and October 1, while the heavily. ,„ laden Jonathan trees must be picked; ya;_, , ,. ._, i^HMRI about two weeks later.

The same cause has greatly increased other claims as well." The Committee has made some investigations into the cause of the trouble with tomatoes this year and finds that the frul has in some areas developed a watery spot which has broken easily on handling, The cause of this has been hard to determine but it may arise from the combination of very hot days and cool—if not cold —nights which have been prevalent throughout the summer. Mr. Wm. Fleming, of the Dominion Experimental Station, is engaged on some special investigations to determine the facts which doubtless will be available later for the guidance of growers. Color Requirements On Apples Some misconception appears to exist as to the Interior Committee of Direstion setting color requirements on the various grades of apples. On only one occasion did the Committee specify color apart from the requirements of the Fruit Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture That was on the Transcendent crabapples, when the Committee ruled that the Fancy Grade thereof should show.a tinge of the color characteristic of the matured Transcendent. It was done to correct conditions which brought about shipping of immature crabapples in previous years. . Color on apples other than on Cee Grade is as set by the Dominion Department of Agriculture under the Fruit Act. Certain specifications on C Grade of red apples were issued by the Committee, on the inltiave of the Fruit Branch, to the effect that the Mcintosh Red, Delicious, Jonathan, King, Stayman, Winesap and all other solid red varieties should carry 20 per cent tinge of color and that other striped red varieties should carry a ten per cent tinge ot color. The Fruit Branch also specified the color on Extra Fancy and Fancy grades of Mcintosh Reds which were endorced by the Committee's Circular No. 262. It is largely within the powers of the committee to set such requirements, but action is never taken without conference with the fruit branch and with their support. It may be said that the Dominion standards apply equally to the whole of Canada, but with the high grade of the fruit produced here it is sometimes possible to give them a better standing by some slight additional requirement. Precooling Recently the attention of the committee has been directed to what may be termed a self-contained precooling unit which has been installed by the Oliver Cooperative Growers with successful results. The machine consists of a battery of four fans operated by a motor and enclosed in a case of galvanized iron. It fits easily into the doorway of a refrigerator car and is operated by electric power. A cable with suitable collections is led into the car from the switch on the loading platform. When the car is loaded a canvas ls spread over the two ends of the load and the fans, revolving at highspeed, drive air in each direction which circulates throughout the Ice bunkers, so that a very strong cold blast ls developed. The result ls that after three or four hours' operation the temperature of the fruit is reduced to between 40 and 60 degrees. Recent tests made by Mr. Clingan, of the Dominion fruit branch, on a car destined to Vancouver, showed that these low temperatures were well maintained until the car reached its destination. Those interested should refer to George Brown, manager of the cooperative referred to above, for his experience. The committee understands it is very satisfactory.—Interior Committee of Direction. the matter submitted by the chief traffic official of the board.

Smith, of Allenby, general manager of the Granby company's local operations. They discussed additional power supply in consideration of the increased scope of operations at the local copper mines and concentrating plant. Discussing with President W. A. Wagenhauser of the Princeton board of trade the matter of power and light supply for Keremeos and Cawston, for some time a vexed question in the eye„of the lower valley, Mr. Campbell stated that there was no real reason why, with a little consideration, this territory could not be looked after. Lack of initiative among the residents, themselves rather than offish- ness on the part of the power company was the reason why these communities were without power when high, power lines passed through their limits, said Mr. Campbell in effect. Laying Out An Airport m: Traffio Officer Is Heard by Motorist "Wottdya think this is—a race track?" "Say—are you color blind?" "You're from the country—alnt By ERWDJ GREER President Greer College ANY land-owners, owning attractive acreage, have written me, or personally made a visit to inquire about laying out flying field. Which proves that the United States is fast becoming air- minded. Perhaps you may be wondering, too —where your air-port should be, and exactly how large it ought to be, and where it should be located, and ex actly how lt should be laid out. First of all the Intended air-port must be readily accessible by automobile, bus or street car, and if possible, be near a railroad. This latter because a spur track may eventually be necessary. Experience shows that an air-port must be on a large open tract of ground—the more level the better, of course. And lt must be unobstructed by houses, trees, wires, marshes and rocks The field itself must be or firm foundation, especially the runways, for in rainy weather there must be no mud to hinder take-offs o Handings. Then, too, the field's foundation must accommodate the hangars and other buildings necessary to the upkeep and housing of planes. How large should the field be? Well, figuring from present day facts no contemplated air-port should be less than 1800 to 2000 feet in each direction, and preferably, 3000 feet or more In any case at the end of the runway the neighboring buildings and trees should be low enough not to interfere with a rise of one foot ln seven. The field does not necessarily have to he square. It can be L-shaped or T-shaped, provided there ls a full- length runway available in each of two directions at approximately right angles with each other. Today fields are being laid out with hangar lines the predominating wind, so that the ship can be rolled out of the. hangar taxi up the runway ln front of the "line," then rise ln the air at one end of the line and alight at the other. But all buildings should be Isolated as to prevent conflagration. Air-ports today are real estate investments par excellence. And to own a going field puts one in the way of other investments. For flying has come to stay. dealt with in the regular way. The major part of Mr. Ladner's address, which preceded a general discussion of the rates problem, related to the steps taken to secure unity of action on the part of Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia in the preparation of the equalization of rates brief to be submitted before the government at Ottawa on October 15. Tlie details of this brief have been published. Mr. Ladner prpfessed to be confident that the Dominion ministers, after hearing the representations of the three provinces concerned, will ask the board of railway commissioners t ogive further considerration to the matter of fruit rates with a view to having them placed on a parity with rates prevailing ln eastern Canada. Pending the 1-earing of the appeal from the railway board's findings by the privy council and the judgment of that body, Mr. Ladner thought that anything ln the nature of public clamor should be avoided. If relief was not forthcoming, however, he felt sure that the provincial I government, which he represented in I the capacity of counsel, would be prepared to vigorously carry on the fight until relief was secured. Sanford Evans, who also spoke briefly, intimated that in view of the representation of the rates case by Mr. Ladner, his inquiry into the transportation aspects of the fruit growers' problems would probably be more restricted. He invited growers and shippers, however, to give him all information available in regard to the matter of service rendered by the transportation companies. Before the conference, Mr. Ladner was tendered a luncheon by the Vernon members of the special committee on freight rates, which proved to be an enjoyable function. Those present at the luncheon and conference Included: A. T. Howe, Vernon, chairman; Sanford Evans; F. M. Black, chairman of the committee of direction; E. J. Chambers, general manager of the Associated Growers Limited; Thomas Bulman, Vernon; Mr. Stephens, traffic manager of the Growers' Sales Service; Mr. Ewer, traffic manager for the Associated Growers; S.

The stocks will go out on the first regular trains which have Kelowna as their starting point after the midniglu hour. Needless to Hay, the night of Friday-Saturday September 20-21 will be a busy one for railway train crews. By that time the gangs in the packing houses will be taking a breather, for the initial push is generally so forceful that for a few days thereafter there ls a lull. Between now and then the activity will be centred in in the orchards, where the packers will turn their attentions from the Wealthies to the Macs and to the packing houses, where this apple, which time and again has won the dessert championship of the British Empire, will he the guest of honor. The initial bookings are heavy. The price has not yet been announced, but it is anticipated that the price for fancy will be between $1.85 and $2.25; C grade will be between $1.65 and $1.75, with household between $1.40 and $1.50. Last year at the opening the fancy was $1.75 with C grade $1.35 and household $1.25. It ls understood the Shippers' Federation will bring in a recommendation in regard to the price today for sanction by the Committee of Direction. The Committee of Direction has, for the present, prohibited the shipment of brown core Macs.

He shouted for help until he was hoarse, but no one heard him in that isolated spot. Hunger and thirst were eclipsed by the unbearable nam, which increased with the swelling, as hour after hour of daylight passed and darkness came on. Fortunately it was not a cold night or he would have frozen to death. Before midnight the moon rose. Soon after a moving black and white object caught his eye and he saw that a skunk was in his trap. It was nearly noon the next day when the sound of a horse's hoofs came to Stoneman's ears, the most welcome sound he had ever heard. He wondered how he would feel If he were a wild creature instead of a human a tsound of those approaching steps. Ic was a mountain cattle man, searching for stray animals. A shout brought help and the trapper was soon at liberty. But from henceforth he ceased to be a trapper. Let lt be said to his credit that his first act was to release the skunk. That same day he "pulled" all of his traps, twenty ln number, put them Into a bag and sunk them ta the river. He a fair-minded man. fpHE greatest discoveries of benefit to the human race X have been the result of accident. Columbus, seeking for a short cut to India, stumbled on America. Perkln, .searching for a means to produce artificial quinine, hit upon aniline dyes. When Japan and Russia were ln the throes of a death struggle for supremacy, Japan's navy was being decimated by beri-beri. Laboring to find a preventative for a disease that was making the Japanese panic- stricken, some one remembered that a Dutch scientist discovered in 1897 that pigeons fed on polished rice developed a disease which had all the characteristics of beri-beri. Orders were Issued forthwith to stop feeding the sailors with polished rice and to substitute the whole grain; Promptly and without delay, the beri-beri disappeared. Scientists, ln their efforts to discover the "why," as a famous author expressed lt, found the missing link that binds food to health, happiness and achievement —they found the vitamine. It was this discovery that enables the human family to keep from starving on a full stomach. »IT F YOU want to be healthy sing as often as you possl- ■*• ble," advises a French- doctor, who has experimented with cases of everexcitement and sympathetic nerves.-He says that when patients were kept ln a cheerful mood, singing gay music, the equilibrium of the nervous system was restored in a few weeks, and badlydamaged appe- titse began to reappear with full force. AUTOSUGGESTION ls a powerful force. Several times I have seen people grow colder immediately when they found no heat ln a radiator after touching lt, when, ta fact, they had been fairly comfortable before that discovery. Likewise, I have been comfortable ta a room myself until I discovered that all the windows were closed tight. I was too hot to do anything until I had opened one or two of them. All this reminds me of a story tbat perhaps many of you have heard. It is about a novelist who. while describing ta one of his stories an Arctic snowstorm, grew about as cold as the make-believe characters who were fighting the blizzard. It was ta the middle of summer, but he was so cold that he built a fire ta the grate to i warm his room. It ls possible to become cooler in the sum- | mer by having pictures suggestive of winter hanging on i the wall—pictures of snow scenes, polar bears, frozen streams, winter sports, icy peaks of snowclad mountains- all will help to make an impression. One should read a story of the Far North and imagine that he ls the ci ar- acter in the book, whose ears and nose are freezing from a biting northern blast and that his hands are blue with the cold and teeth are chattering. If one takes ln the details and shudders as though with the cold. It won't be long before he ls feeling decidedly cooler. That's the effect of mind over matter. ALTHOUGH the automobile is steadily gaining in popularity in the Fiji islands it encountered great fear and superstition on the part of the natives when first introduced. The first self-propelled vehicle was used ta the colony in 1905 by an American who was touring the islands This car was viewed with awe by the inhabitants, being considered the contraption of a madman, and conservative residents suggested that the owner be deported as a dangerous character. The second car made its appearance in 1907, destined for the wife of the mayor of Suva. A liveried chauffeur was provided, and it is not known which created the greater stir, the vehicle or its driver. One day the owner found under the machine several bush- men, poking about and exploring the mysteries. Explanations revealed that the Fljlans had held a conference about the new vehicle that lacked visible means of locomotion and. had concluded that the affair was nothing less than a devil wagon; therefore, partly out of kindness to the owner and partly to prevent the escape of the devil Into 'v! * In.1.!

IT appears certain that the ancient peoples who used copper or bronze tools were unable to harden or temper them as well as we harden or temper 'steel today. The Bronze age is considered to have begun as early as 3500 B. O. among the ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians. A chemical analysis of ancient copper or bronze tools has shown that copper was hardened by alloying with other metals, just as it is done today. Other methods of hardening copper are hammering, rolling and drawing the metal. Of course there is no such thing as a lost art of temper- tag copper and there is no mystery about the processes, which are ta actual use at the present time. Watson Davis' book, "The Story of Copper," makes reference to this, stating "The fact is that there never was known to ancient men any art of mysterious copper hardening «o be lost." , SUNSHINE The Big Executive The Big Executives are men Who go to work At half-past ten; They live on charts And wear plus-fours; They cut down costs And golfling scores. • • a Bill," the poet gasped to his friend, "I wrote a poem about my little boy and began the first verse with these words: i > '"My son, my pigmy counterpart.'", "Yes, yes."

The traveler. If he takes the barren ride from the port of Lurnaka to the capital, Nicosia; through a chalky wilderness, is likely to jump to the conclusion that Cyprus ls drab and wholly uninteresting. But half-oriental Cyprus viels her charms, modestly masking her beauty in remote mountain valleys and. along the northern shore, where no steamer stops except for carob beans, destined as provender for Spanish calvary horses. The best way to reach Cyprus is to steam from Beirut into the sunset glow, and dock at dawn ln Famagusta harbor, beside Othello's Tower, where the dark-skinned Moor, inflamed by: lago, smothered his Desdemona. { Once Famagusta, rich and wicked,' had a church or chapel for every day in the year. It Is a graveyard of old churches now—some sunk ln ruin, one or two still used to house the glittering panolpy of worship, one changed Into a mosque starkly simple as a prison cell but with a Mecca-ward mi- rob pointing the soul to paradise. The walls of Famagusta are massive and high, with moats cut from the native rock on which the bastions rise; and with gun platforms, or cavaliers, overlooking them from within. At the Land Gate there was an almost unique" ravelin, or outworks, which' was useless and at another corner the masterly Martinengo bastion which was merely-futile. Looking northward one ■ sees the iite of Salamis, six miles away. When Paul and Barnabas landed in Cyprus, Salamis waa a Roman capital. Little by little its various forums and market place are being rescued from the drifting sands and' viper-infested brush. Salamis enthusiasts would use its Byzantine name gladly, Constantia for lt is disconcerting, while trying to hang a splendid past onto a lot of sadly fallen columns to have visitors exolanm that they have always wanted to see the site of the battle of Salamis, which occurred 600 miles away I Oreat Treeless Plain From Salamis westward to the American copper-ore docks at Karavost ail there stretches the great "treeless plain" of the Mesaorla, with however, a miniature forest at Syncrasi and orchards surrounding many of the villages. At places, as. around Lefkoniko, this plain is rich, with waving grain or dotted with golden threshing floors where the driver sits in an. easy chair atop the ox-drawn threshing sledge. Elsewhere rock strata, tiptilted toward the sky, discourage agriculture, but rare is the view in which some leaden-footed animal is not dragging a plow. Along the north run the Kyrenia mountains, which one labels mere hills until he has climbed to Buffavento castle or to St. Hilarion and looked down with , awe oh plain and sea. Strung out in a well-defined and craggy ridge, they guard the pleasant northern slope from the central plain. Brtong sea-winds, sweeping south, blow the trees lopsided toward the South of the Mesaorla are massed TMEVER wait to see if a headache A^ will "wear off." Why suffer when there's always Aspirin?

SPIRIN AafUa la a Tntauik BnHtml at OmmIs the mountains * that culminate ln Troodos, the Cypriote Olympus. Cutting the northern face of that mass are neighborly valleys traversed by shrunken streams—the most charming blst of the whole Island. North of Salamis one of the prominent perches is occupied by Kantara castle—the Hundred Chambers, z The men of Cyprus have a distinctive costume—a straw hat with a room brim, a plain shirt sometimes with a jacket, voluminous Turkish trousers whose seats are tucked Into their belts for cross-country walking and heavy boots with their tops turned down and tied above the calf. The women do little to keep alive the Aphrodite tradition. One of their sex says of them: "They are rarely pretty or even good-looking, being heavyz of feature and clumsy of form, and their voices are harsh and shrill. But how could any woman be beautiful who works from sunrise till dark for a few plasters a day?" Kyrenia a Resort Place In the spring tho prize resort ot Cyprus ls Kyrenia. Almost overhanging the town, St. Hilarion, castle of £ros, clings to a crude crag. Beyond the horseshoe harbor, miniature of Corsican Bastia's there is the golden mass of Kyrenia castle, set on a green slope between gray mountains and blue sea. Across the waters to the north the snowy heights of the Cilician Taurus hang like clouds. People come to Kyrenia to see the castles, the monastery, and the pleasant slopes planted with gram and dotted with olive and carob trees. I'hey remain until the castles are old stories, the Phoenician rock-cuttings have lost their first mysterious challenge, and the harbor has become a mere incident. The climb to St. Hilarion begins through green grain fields, passes under dusty and shiny, heaven-sent carob trees, whose sweetish, dark brown pods the prodigal son fain would have eaten, zigzags toward a rusty cliff, tops the pass behind; and comes to the plain from which rises the rock pedestal for this romantic ruin. But when one has scrambled among the evergreens whose roots are split- tinv medieval battlements apart, the romantic castle, high and Inaccessible, has disappeared, and there are only some decrepit walls, forgotten by the Titans who tossed them there. Bella Paise Abbey, a mere picnic jaunt from Kyrenia, is the finest rum in Cyprus. The cloisters, from whose graceful archways vandals have torn away stone traceries, are still beautiful. The refectorp, with its swallow- nest wall-pulpit, from which lectures once droned to eating monks, is al most intact. The abbey stands in a pleasant hillside town, bowered in fruit trees. America owes its Incomparable col- ections of Cypriote art to Cesnola, who lived at a time when an American consul could defy the Turks and boast of outwitting' them. His book makes spicy reading in these days. In the widespread site of Lambousa to the west of Kyrenia, another famous ous treasure was found, smuggled out of the island and sold by an Armenian to the late J. Plerpont Morgan for a sum that still makes Cyprolte mouths water. For treasures' found, one-third of the Intrinsic value goes to the fisder, one third to the owner of the land, and a third to the government. Tiptilted Lapithos owes its green freshness to a periennial stream which emerges from a barred cavern in the mountain side. In Lapithos the current price of big juicy lemons ls 450 for a shilling. The juice ls expressed, bottled without sugar, and kept for a year or two without fermenting. It makes a most refreshing drink, but at 18 for a cent, lemons arc hardly worth picking and the ground is often covered with decaying fruit.

Health Service OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AGE INCIDENCE OF TUBERCULOSIS THE importance of protecting young children against tuberculosis has been frequently pointed out. Perhaps because of this, if we may judge from the opinion expressed by various people, quite a number of adults are under the impression that they need not take any particular care, and that when they pass the fortieth year, they run no further danger of incurring tuberculosis. In order to correct this false idea, we are giving the age of death for this disease in Canada, in the year 1926: Under one year, 233 One to four years, 443 Five to nine years, 236 Ten to fourteen years, 386 Fifteen to nineteen years, 859 Twenty to twenty-nine years, 1970 Thirty to thirty-rune years, 1423 Forty to forty-nine years, 1011 Fifty to fifty-nine years, 630 Sixty to sixty-nine years, 450 Seventy years and over, 273 From these figures it will be evident that, while tuberculisis takes its chief toll during early adult life, causing a high percentage of all deaths from twenty to forty years of age, 1 tis not by any means confined to any period of life.

It takes two to make a quarrel, but one can end it. The course of true love never runs smooth, and in later years the bachelor is often glad of that. While th legend of Cinderella may be the story of one stepmother, lt does not even symbolize the story of many another. OTTAWA, Sept. 17—Canadian apples will probably be ln greater demand throughout the North of England this year, owing to the fact that growers in the states of Washington, Oregon and California, England's chief source of supply, are suffering from a short crop. The Canadian crop of apples, on the other hand, according to the Commercial Intelligence Journal, shows an improvement of 11 per cent, over that of last year. If the Canadian growers and deaers can meet the requirements of the English market, the'Journal says, there is a prospect that they may be able to capture a good share of the market. Crows Unaffected by Oas Crows have no fear of toxic gas The chemical division of the army at Washington experimented with crows and gas. The crows were gassed but immediately flew high ln the air and escaped the fumes which clung to the earth. During the war pigeons returned to their cages safely when liberated in a gas cloud. This mystery was solved when the birds were seen to rise quickly above the gas. Tests show that crows fly out of gas clouds in much the same manner. Some people seem to make, a speciality of thinking second-hand thots. Grade crossings, It should be remembered, average no safer this year than last. Took Indian Appellation Perth Amboy was settled in 1683 and was expected soon' to outstrip Its neighbors and become the London of America. It was named Perth, but Amboy, the original Indian name for the place, was soon added. It was the capital of the province from 1684 almost continuously up to the time of the Revolution. William Franklin, the last royal govenor, was captured there in 1776. Perth Amboy was In corporated a city to 1718. People who care nothing for tree speech haven't anything to say, per- haps.

The "Empress of Australia," a 21,850 gross ton vessel, long a favorite v.ith globe trotters, will sail from New York December 1, 1929, on the seventh annual Canadian Pacific World Cruise. Besides making her regular visits to the highlights of the Mediterranean, to India, Japan, China, Hawaii and other fascinating places, her itinerary this time has been extended to include Athens in Greece, Paknam and Bangkok in Siam, with further calls at Keelung for Taikoku, in Formosa. She will be gone 187 days, visiting 81 ports and places in 24 countries. Athens is really three towns in one—the twisted lanes of the AthenB that was little more than a Turkish village before the Greek War of Independence, the broad straight streets of the modern capital and the interesting ruins clustering round the Acropolis representing "the Glory that was Greece." The Parthenon, one of the most interesting ruins here, was chief among the buildings with which Pericles adorned the Acropolis about 600 B.C. Bangkok, the capital of Siam, was originally built on floating pontoons or piles on the river's edge, but nowadays well-planned roads and streets radiate from tho city in all directions, beautiful Buddist temples are scattered all over the town, and the Royal Palace is one of the show places of Bangkok. Keelung, the chief port of the Island of Formosa, is a hive ol industry. Formosa is half the size of Ireland and is governed by the Japanese. In its northern fastnesses, still largely unexplored, lived the headhunted. The Japanese campaign of subjugation, however, has all but wiped out these barbarous people.! The seat of government at Formosa is Taihoku. Here fleets of jinrikishas, manned by coolies, transport the visitors around the town, one of the chief attractions of which ta the Governor-General's garden, where the world's most beautiful tropical plants bloom in exotic profusion. • ■ - Get Your Groceries at the CITY GROCERY Phone 25 "Service and Quality ity" ||| /DOf T HESITATE!
