seconds find lived to plead guilty and
be fined $10 for trespi using on a railroad, was related in police court by
Engineer W. R. Hunter, of the Kettle Valley train, operating between
here and the coast.
Stevan. walking along tho track
Just outside the pards here, was
struck by the engine of the outgoing
cot|3t train. He was hurled to the

he rated down to the tracks and under the tender, where it was found
that the heavy shackle hanging from
■the tender had come to a stop within
ten inches of his head.
After i\ few days in hospital Stevan appeared in police court, where
he stated he had no recollection of
the occurence. He had at first denied
that he had been hit by the train.

How to Figure the
Cost of Egg Production
Basing production at 12 dozen yearly, and accepting figures of 6 pounds
of feed to produce dozen eggs, and
feed consumed at 90 pounds per
bird (actual experiments give 70
pounds for lightweight and 80 for
heavyweight fowHs per t^nnum), but
allowing'extru 10 pounds tor shell,
grit, charcoal, etc. Divide feed up at
40 ipounds scratch and 50 pounds of
mash per bird. Ascertain yearly cost
of gnaln used per 100 pounds. Add
1-5 of feed cost for overhead expenses
(Callfirnicl breeders' system) and add
depreciation of Ihen from pullet
value, basing pullet as costing 90c
to laying age, and sdlling at Oc. Dividing total expenses by 12 gives one

Tories Have
Many Issues
To Adjust
In Caucus
VANCOUVER, Feb. 5.—For two
days before thy legislature meets In
opeu session the i ousurv,ative mouthers wlil confer iu caucus to hear
lhe government's proposals anl to
upon them.
How fur will the members stand
for economizing? Will tliey stand for
a 10 per cent cut in civil servants'
salaries? Will they stand for a 25 per
cent cut In tho road impropriations
for their respective constituencies
Will the members atjree to a curtailment of mothers'  illusions
Hon. J. W. Jines, minister of finance, would like to know these things
before ho puts the finishing touches
on his budpt.
Wlijl the interior and Vancouver
island members suppirt a construction prorram for the I'.G.E. designed
to make it available up an outltt for
the groin production of the Peace
River?
One powerful group of members insists that action must bo taken this
year. Is that group large eniugh to
guarantee the government a, majority? Could an election be won on that
policy? These are the questions that
tho premier would like to have an- •
swerel.
How shall the government meet
thu demands of the cooperative fruit
growers of tho Okanagan u)ad of the
cooperative milk producers of the
Fraser vajtlep for new market legislation Is public opinion outside the
artas ylt'ected su clently disinter-
tsted for the government t' be able
to take a strong stand one way or
tbe other?
The government wishes to count
noses among its followers on these
vtxlng problems beforo deciding how
tar it should go ln either standing
on the Sanford Evans' report, for
which $50,000 was paid, or ignoring
the report and letting the growers
try to manage their own agairs.
The selection of a speaker may
also be left until the house assembles. Several members have applied,
but there have been strenuous objections to eacb, and the government is
reputed to be willing to let the caucus settle the   uestion bp a vote.
The holding of a preliminary caucus of government followers before
the opening of tbe house Is a custom
of recent innovation, but governments have found it a convenient
method of ascertaining the temper
of the members as they come fresh
from contact with the constituencies.
If disgruntled members are encouraged to let off steam In caucus
where there Is no press gallery to report the proceedings, governments
believe they an-o less likely to create
embarossing situations on the floor
of the house.

THE anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens occurs tomlrrow. No littjle consternation will be caused
among his admirers, who have always regarded him as
an out-ajnd-out democrat, a lover of common Uiingsund
siimplt people, by the discovery that In the later years of
his life he adopted an Imposing arinoial device to
which he had no hereditary or legal right. Was it snob-
i bery or merely whimsical fancy tht|t iuuuced him to embellish his entirt library with a crest, depicting a
lion hlldlng in its paws a Maltese cross Perhaps the
noble crest on 'his dinnier service lie|liped him to forget

or six inches of rt.iu fa, Is ansujally. The plant is tbe Am-

white men, so far as the record is concerned. It was
found, however, that the 1-apago Indians were famtliar
with the i.l; tn, and for generations had been digging
the roots, which txtend three to five feet '"l"

THAT the composition of music can be profitable
when the work of the composer is popular is undeni-
ahle, but the few fortunes that have been made by composers generally have been started rather tliii(u built up
bp the profits of their music. Rosirai ls generally supposed to have made a large fortune out of his operas, but
be himself admitted that while he had nothing to com
pl£|in about ln this respect his wealth came rather from
a number of successful speculations to which he was
introduced by one of the Rothschild family. It ls proib-
abje.too, that in his speculations, as in his music, he
knew when to stop. When he had finished "William
Tell" and seen that it was si great success he never attempted another opera, though he I'ived nearly forty
years longer. When asked by an sflmirer why he did not
try to repeat this success, knowing his own limitations
(the chief of which was laziness), he replied, "Why
hunt the hare when you have kaJjied the elephant?"

rp HE expression
"great horn-spoon" ls be found in
"Bigelow Papers," in which it was used as a humor
ous butt meaningless oath, that map owe its origin to
the practice of using spoons made from horn. In Scotland, until late in the nineteenth century, the making
of spoons from the horns of cattle or sheep was common, and in that country porridge was always eaten with
S) born spoon. The larger the horn the greater the
spoon, and so Scottish spoons were of different sizes,. In
Thorn's "Jack O' the Knowe," relating to Dumfriesshire, and published in 1877, the term "long horn
spoon" is tbe utensil used to serve reeking kail out of

Naught to be thankful, for, (ltd you say
As you Bt(t by the old garage today.
The crops are poor and the cattle thin,
And the spuds are not what they might have been;
And there isn't much you can sell this year—
Yoii're gefng to be very hard up, you fear.
Why, what if you are? Why man, alive,
If you have to struggle and stamp and etrive,
And pinch a dollar until it hurth,
For winter woolens and shoes and shjtrts;
We've all been over the trail! before.
And poverty's often knocktd at the door.
It won't hurt you a 'bit- old man, you know,
If you have to put the gears in low.
When the crops were good and the pitjces high,
Say, didn't we soar and slpend and fly.
The sky was the limit; we took the a*,
And blew our crops lf.ke a millionaire.
But there's always a- <ame when we have to pay,
And the bilCs pile up for a rainy di|y;
And you start to think where you might have stood
If you'd kept your head when the crops were good.
But cars cost money, and trips, Oh say!
The dough has a habtt of melding awt|y.
And what crops we had by tho countryside!
When the wheat threshed out like a golden tide,
And tht god of harvest, vAth lavish hand,
Scattered his riches across the Ji.|ud.
When the wheat ipoured out on the granery floor,
And there wasn't room for a bushel more.
But let's forget what we might have done;
There'll be more harvests and rain and sun.
And let's be decent and take tbe blame,
And be sports enough to p'lay uhe game;
And let's eome down to earth and stay,
And get a grip on the things that pay.

What the Rural! Weekly
Press of B. C. Can
Offer
THERE are fifty-five regular weekly newspapers In British Columbia. They are published In a widely scattered
field In communities with populations of from 300 to 400 to
one of 10,000. Sixteen are published In communities of less
than 1000 population; fifteen in communities of 1000 to MOO
population; seven In communities of 4000 to 5000; few ta
communities ever 5000 to 10,000. These weeklies appeal ta
145,000 of British Columbia's population. The news ta these
newspapers Is mostly all local, because that Is what Interests the readers, and the advertisements for the most part
tell what local merchants are doing. Tbe country editor
knows the people he serves; they are farmers, lumbermen, miners, fishermen, prospectors, laborers, all. It is as-
1 timated that the average farm family spends HMO every
year for things which are not necessary to raise crops. Ths
total sum that Is spent by farmers In the United States for
those things with which to lire well Is tbe appaltag sum of
thirteen billion dollars. Seventy-two per cent of all automobiles sold go to people living in towns and eomunltles of
less than 5000 population. Using the same proportionate
figures to estimate the buying power of tbe rural population of British Columbia served by the weekly newspapers
of the province, and we have something like 70,000 automobiles purchased by residents of tbe province ta towns and
communities of less than 6000 population, and $6,000,000
spent every year by these rural families for things whlcb
are not necessary to raise c:ops. If one Is Inclined to think
that only a tew people, and an Insignificant few at that,
live in country communities served by the weekly newspapers let nun study these figures or consult the last census statistics. il'll'BP"

TELEVISION was demonstrated
to the Chicago police during tho
past week when lmtlges were
broadcast by Station W9UA1', which
Is associated with the regular sound
broadcaster  WMAQ.
It Wfis pointed out by Clem R
Wade, president of tha Westorn Television Corporation, thill with a police televlslln broadcasting stp-tion
and a television receiver installed in
every police station and in every police motor ci|r, crime fighters would
be provided with the most speedy
and effectual means of visual com
mulcatlon known to science.
"A habitual criminal's name may
mean little to the policeman on the
ber/t,"said Mr. Wade. "But when that
name Is visualized for him on the
television screen that policeman becomes a vital force ln that criminal's
apprehension. Not only does the individual policeman thus become a
man hunter in every sense of the
word, but the entire police force as a
result would have an added efilciency
which might easily amount to ,an increase of 100 per cent
"With the aid of clear-cut television
pictures It is actutlly possible for
every patrolman, no matter how far
removed his station house from headquarters, to attend a daily show-up by
looking into a television receiver before he goes out on his bent," Mr.
Wade explained.
"Were this procedure repeated day
after day the policeman would be far
better equipped to combat tbe gadg
sters and habitual criminals because
he would be able to recognize them.
"Here is another example of the aid
television could give in the capture
of criminals. Say a job looks, to the
Investigators, first on the case, like
hte work of criminal X or Y, whose
picture ls contained in the identifica
tion bureau. The man in charge telephones bis superior and immediately
the pr. per photograph is placed before the television camera at heill-
(luaitors and in a split, second every
man In a police auto, cruis'Ug tliuat
th'? streets, und the entire personnel
ol Ihe station houses knows exactly
wilia t tho man who Is wanted looks
'.ike.
"It is this Instuntanesusness of tel-
evison that will give the pilice their
big rdvantage, the instantaneousness
of picture tranmlsslon. . Television
would also prove valuable to the police in tho location of missing persons," said Mr. Wade.
Acting Police Commissioner John
Hi Alcock of Chicago stressed Ihe
great value of the speed of television
communication after witnessing the
demonstration at WOXAP,
"I think it woind mean the end . f
racketeers If this fcW.ng li developed,"
hi said. "It would be almost impos ii-
blo to escape it tho cr.'minuVs pio-
ture wore flashed to tho outlying stations by this Instrument. There are
great drawbacks in having police
sliow-up.i at a central station. They
muni that police have to mean their
own districts to come in and see the
suspects. And they ere crowded into
one room where thoy cannot see so
well.'1

INDIGESTION
Indigestion is a word whilch has no
particular meaning beyond conveying tbe information that thei't is an
uncomfortable feeling lin the a|bdio-
niL'ii, whclh the sufferer etttbutes to
the stomafch or to some ithtr part of
the digestive  system,  z   z z   z zz
Discomfort lin the region of the abdomen may be due to one of many
conditions. It may be caused by an
ulcer ot the stomach, Inflammation
of the gall-bladder, i.ippendicifes, constipation, or to some one or other of
the many conditions, sometimes trivial, sometimes serious, which are responsible for what is commonly
known as indigestion.
There is inly one way to treat indigestion properiy and effectively,
i tid that is to find out the cause and
then remove it. The general tendency
is for the sufferer to dose himself
with medicines, or to try some kind
of a diet which liis well-meaning but
medically ignorant friends will suggest as a cure.
Soda is often taken in large
amounts, regularly or frequently, by
those who think that their trouble
is an " acid stomach," with the idea
of neutralizing the acid in their stomachs. They ignore the fact that if digestion is to take pice in the stomach
acid must be present, and therefore
large doses of soda merely interfere
with normal digestion.
A certain amount of roughage in
the diet is generally desirable, but if
the intestines are irrita|ble and are
causing discomfort, the addition of
roughage—so often taken by the sufferer to overcome the constipation
which accompanies the condition—
is likely to increase the Irritation. It
is oj smooth, soft diet which is indicated in such coses.
These points are sufficient to make
clear that the proper treatment of
indigestion depends, first of ail, upon
finding the cause. Careless or li in-
proper treatment may result ln actual harm, the condition ttnding to
become chronic and increasingly difficult to treat successfully
Indiuestion which occurs repeated
1; after the age of forty should never
be neglected. The cause should always be found. This fact is emphasized becaust attacks of indigestion
at that period of -. il'e may be theilrst
symptom of cancer, and if attended
to right away there is every chtlace
of cure.
Tht whole trouble may be due ti
bad habits of eating rather than to
any {internal condition. Eating too
quickly, wefshing down food with
liulid instead of chewing it properly,
making meal-time the occasion for
unpleasant di>.:us.-j.on- these bad
habits cuuse  trouble.
There art some conditions which
require medical or surgical care, and
when such treatment is advised, it
must be undertaken without delay.
Suit-medication Is a mistake; drugs
should only be prescribed by a physician. Much can be done, howtver, to
prevent digtstive troubles If the individual will cultivate proper eat-
inghabits and exercise care in tbe
election  of foods.

THE TAKU GLACIER
This ice field, one of the largest in the world, is one of the many
wonders which are to be seen on the route of the Canadian National
Steamships between Vancouver and Skagway, Alaska. All of the three
boats in this service, the Prince George, Prince Rupert, and the new
Prince Henry, pass within a stone's throw of this glacier, the height
of#which can be judged by the fishing smack in the foreground. The
glacier is 90 miles long and only about one-quarter of its width is shows
in the photograph. HPJHboHI
