III Billy Poole Is Right Billy Poole, afe one time, King of tbe Lardean, said the following to the Spokane Review last week: "In Vancouver, B. C, last week J was surprised at the marked change in sentiment there in the last few months," said Mr. Poole. Formerly it was almost impossible to find any one that' could be .induced to consider investing in anything bnt real estate or "industrial seeurieties, but now they are' clam' oring for a chance to become inter-- overlooking splendid" opporthni ties, and they are endeavoring to retrieve the fortunes lost in disastrous real estate specnlations by associating themselves with the remarkable mineral development going on in the interior of the province. ' 'This revival of interest is not confined to the coast cities alone. There are men in the mining regions who never have been brought to appreciate the promise of profit there is in mining investments also being awakened, and in Nelson and other Kootenay towns conversation generally , is. beginning to take the same trend that it did in the old boom days. "Everything points to a big boom in the British Colnmbia region next year. Our. oldtime friends in Spokane, who never have failed us, are planning to extend their operations there, and they are interesting new capital for the contemplated campaign. Added to these will be the recruits from among the ranks of our own investors, and* the corab_i_ed forces are certain to bring about an unprecedented revival of activity. War prices for metals, together with the depression in other lines that bas resulted from-the European conflict can not fail to stimulate the mining industry, which now offers better opportunities for investment than ever before."

V; B. is'being carried forward an rapidly as conditions will permit Another two weeks should see the steel bridge at Ladner's Creek com> pleted. This work is being carried out from the Hope end, owing to a snow blockade west of Coquihalla Summit. The centre span of the Ladner's Creek bridge was to be put in plane today. The whole bridge with steel work- and' wooden approaches is about 600 feet long. As previously announced- rails have been laid from Hope- to Li-Miner's Creek for some time. Abou| a mile east of the creek theqe. is another bridge, a 350 foot wooden trestle affair, still to be erected. There is also a third about half a mile farther east, at Mile 18 west of Coquihalla Summit. Work 00 this bridge, which is 471 feet in length, as well as on the other wooden structure mnst await the removal of the snow on the tracks at Mile Four wes) of the Summit. This snowslide is about 15 feet deep. A rotary plow is now taking it off, and later timber will be taken in to the bridge sites. The actual depth of snow at the Summit is at present four feet. In November nearly 12 feet of snow fell, but rains took most of it away. The Hope moan tain woik therefore still remaining comprises the erection of a trestle bridge at Mile 18, the laying of steel for about two-thirds of a mile to the second trestle bridge, the construction of this affair, and then the laying of a mile of steel to' Ladner's Creek bridge, which bridge as already mentioned, will very Bhortly be finished.���Penticton Herald.

Dominion to Give Free Seed and Potatoes By instructions of the minister of agricnlture a free distribution of superior sorts of grain and potatoes will be made during the coming winter and spring to Canadian farmers. The sampleB will consist of spring wheat (about/5 'pounds, white oats (about four pounds,) barley about 5 pounds,) and field peas (about 5 pounds.) These will be sent out from Ottawa. A distribution of potatoes (in 3 pound samples) will be carried on from several of the experimental forms, the central farm at Ottawa supplying only the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Each application must be separate and must be signed by the applicant, Only one sample of grain and one of potatoes can be sent to each farm. If both samp les are asked for in the same letter only one will be sent. Applications on any kind of printed farms cannot be accepted. The "destruction by fire of the cereal building at Ottawa, which contained grain-cleaniDg machinery and a large stock of seed {{rain for distribution, may make ife necessary to curtail the distribution to a certain extent. We shall fill as many as possible of the applications which conform to the rules; bufe requests received after 1I19 end of December will probably be too late, says a circular signed by J. H. Grisdale, director of experimental farms. Samples cannot he sent in response to applications (no matter when received) which f.iil to state clearly the needs of the applicant his experience in crop-raising and the character of the soil on which he intends to sow the seed. All .applications for grain, and applications from the provinces of Ontario and Quebec for potatoes, phonld be addressed to the Dominion cerealist, central experimental farm, Ottawa. Such -require no postage. If otherwise -addressed, delay and disappointment may occur. Applications for potatoes from farmers in any other province should be addressed, postage pre paid, to the superintendent of the nearest branch experimental farm in that province. Take Care of Your Spine The spinal cord is probably the most important part; of the body; we could live without the brain, but the spine is absolutely essential feo live. The digestion of the food, the nutrition of every part of the body, the work of all of fehe vital organs, the circulation of the blood, are all under the direct control of the nerve centers of the spinal cord and the associated masses of nerve cells lying in front of the spine. In fact each one of the several million cells of which the body is composed has its own nerve cell in the spinal cord. The nutrition of the body cell, its activities, in fact, its very life, are all dependent upon its spinal nerve cell. Tho spinal cord is housed in the spine, composed of bones and ligaments, fehat it may furnish ample protection to the delicate nerve centers, and with many joints that the body may have a variety of movements. If the spine becomes stiffened it interferes with the proper circulation of the blood through the spinal cord with the result thafe the nerve centres become sluggish and slow in their action, all the vital processes are slowed, and old age is upon us, whether we are thirty-five or Bixty- five. So the most important exercises are those that exercise the spine, the most important muscles to keep in good condition are the large muscles attached to tbe back and front of the spine, the muscles which keep the body erect when we are standing, and which bends the body in various.'directions. These muscles are to be exercised by bending in various directions and by twisting the spine. Every night just before retiring bend forward from ten to twenty-five times, keeping the knees stiff and trying, to touch the floor with the fiuger tips. Each time just arise to the erect position. Never bend backward���it is injurious. After the forward bend, take the side bend an equal number of times by placing the hands on the hips and bending as far as possible first to .the right side then to the left side. This completed, sit on the side of the bed, drop the head forward with chin on chest, place hands on hips and twist the trunk as far as possible from one side to the other from twenty-five to fifty times. These simple exercises will not only rest the body and insure restful sleep, but it will help to postpone old age.���Dr. R. R. Daniels. and long is the wedding notice' which the editor printeth.

The English military journal tells us that no submarines goes without carrying many white mice. It appears that these little creatures are very quickly influenced by the escape of dangerous gases, and at the least danger they make a very singular noise, which gives a warning to those aboard. Many lives have thus been saved by this action of white mice:" Here is a place where we devotely hope "the best laid schemes o' mice and men" might not "gang aft a-gley."��� F.H.R.
