A communication from A. Bryan- Williams, provincial game warden, was read and a motion filed. Came Warden Bates spoke briefly of many details regarding the killing of doer, the protection of game and fish end the Issuing of licenses to resident hunters. It was moved by Messrs. Rollins and Fink that the trout season extend from May 1st to October 15th of each year. After considerable discussion it was moved by T. Coven, seconded by L. Clnpp, that a local resident game license of 82 for Cranbrook district be enforced. Carried unanimously. The present game act permtts a hunter to kill five deer during the season, It was tho opinion of many that this was too many, and it was recommended by Messrs. Fink and Elmer that the number he reduced to two. It was also recommended by Messrs. Baker and Caven that the season for deer shooting open Sept 1st and close November 30th in each Production of "The Country Girl" , by Local Talent It Is with great Interest that the public of Cranbropk are looking forward to the forthcoming production of the famous Eogllsh musical comedy "Tho Country Girl," which will bo presented at tho Auditorium on February 6 and 7, by tho Cranbrook Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society, under tho direction of George n. Ingram. Tho society made Its debut luBt season when It presented "The Geisha" and tho high claBS work of this organization ensures nn entertainment thlB season which will prove a great musical and artistic treat. Many of the faVorlteB of laBt year's production will be seen and beard to great advantngo In "Tho Country Girl" and with some newcomers who are very proficient artists iu tho matter of musical comedy, the public can look forward to an Improved performance this year. Amongst tho prominent roles, we find the names of Archie Roworth, who as "Barry" (tho part originally created by the famous Huntley Wright) is chief fun- maker. Mr. Raworth's excruciatingly funny rendition of the part "Wun- hi," which he "played In the "Geisha" stamps him "aa an artist and this year's production affords him ample opportunity for displaying his well- known histrionic abilities. Mrs. Bouchard who playB "Nan," Mlsa Margaret Kennedy as "Sophie," Mrs. Stevenson as "The Princess," Mrs. Benedict as "Marjorie," Mrs. A. L. McDermot as "MrB. Qulnton Ralkes," all have good parts, while the chief honors amongst tho males are divld. ed as follows: Geoffrey Challoner, Mr. Geo. F. Stevenson, the Rnjh of Bhong, R. T. Brymner, Douglas Verity, H. Darling, Sir Joseph Verity, Mr. Louback, Lord Anchester, Mr. McKee. Grand- fer Mummery, Allan Graham, Major Vicat, D. J. McSweyn. In addition to these a chorus of from fifty to Bixty voices will add greatly to the musical rendition of this comedy, and a specially organized orchestra will he one of the features. While the production is being supervised by last year's producer, Mr. George D. Ingram, he ia being ably assisted by a powerful executive and Mr. Louback hns been appointed assistant director to Mr. Ingram. Mr. Louback's work being confined more particularly to the stage and Mr. Ingram still retaining charge of the production as a whole and particularly the miiBlcal portion. I Tho orcheRtrn as outlined at prcs-1 sent consists of pianoforte, four vlo- line, two clarlnetB, two cornetB, flute, piccolo, two trombones and drums. | Mrs. Irn Manning Is again the ac- j compnniste and hor accomplishments along this line are so well known that remarks here regarding them, would be out of place. Suffice It to say that her most excellent work is warmly appreciated by tho Operatic Society, and by all in connection with It. B. R.

"I would," replied the general, look* log at bis subordinate curiously. •There Is a story connected with my distaste for tbem. When I was young 1 was extremely fond of eggs. I was ▼ery particular as to the time an egg abould be boiled. Three and a half minutes was the Interval 1 required between putting tbe egg Into Dolling water and taking It out. "Well, when I was graduated from tbe military school 1 was picked out by my classmates as one or our number who would surely make nis murk. It was predicted that at thirty Ave 1 would surely tie a general of division and at forty would command a corps d'armee." Tbe colonel paused, took a few pun's tt bis cigarette aud said In a melancholy tone: "1 am fifty and still a colonel." "Nevertheless a tine officer," remarked the general sympathetically. The Franco- Prussian war come on Immediately after my graduation. My division was on detached service In an exposed position between tbe French and Prussian armies. One morulng wben 1 was tn command of a picket post a strapping girl dressed In tbe French peasant costume of Jaunty cap. abort skirt and sabots approached me. On ber arm she carried a basket containing butter, cheese and eggs. She aald tn excellent French-too good French for a pensnnt-thnt she lived on a farm within our lines and wished to tell us her produce. Tb* eggs templed me. I agreed to buy half a dozen all I eonld take care •f while on duty-taking tbem out of tbe basket and holding them up lo the light, wbleb I always did tieroro using egga to teal them. The gin held one end of tb* basket toward me. tram wblrb I took tbe eggs, but on coming to tb* fifth I reached for one at tbe otber and. Looking tbrougb It I could see no light. "That on* la bad," I aald. putting It back In Ita place. "Monsieur should take those at tb* otber end of tbe basket. They are for lb* officers. These are for tbe men. Yon will And tbat one very fresh," banding me an egg. "That one will do." The girl walked away. I looking at ber as she receded It seemed to me'that her gait waa peculiar. At any rate, I never saw a woman with a stride Ilk* that Rut many of the peasant worn* en In France, as you know, generally do so much Held work thai except for their petticoats they may well he tnken for men. "I bud friend on the staff. Lieutenant Antotne Oucnt. who rode up to my tent that evening while I wns cooking Ihe eggs. I Invited him lo sup with me, and he accepted.

"Whom the Lord lovetb he cbasten- etb;" "Many nre the afflictions of the righteous." Certain ills there are nut of human origin. C»Ju permits and uses them, if he does not actually send tbem.

"He's his own worst enemy, chap- i lain," I've had the atteudunt nay to ! me In prison nnd hospital. The victim nods his head. "It sure gets ye in the end," he vouchsafes. "It" refers to the life be has led. Dirt, drink nnd dissipation have an byproducts distress, disease and denth. A third source Is from our fellows. "Man's Inhumanity fo man," etc. The traveler lu the parable fell not among ! wild beasts, but human beasts of prey. Jtobbery and murder are not conllned to tbe desolate Jericho rond, but are matters of dally occurrence In New York, New Orleans. Chicago and Sun Francisco.

SMALL, Manager. t Must the delicate minis of young authors (fraught with the unmistakable germs of future excellence) be subjected tu such scathing criticism, such severe and inadequate review? Most emphatically, no: Would you consider it an expedient course to punish an infant because it was unable to walk ? I know what your answer will be, Cprtainly not: Then why do you subject the young author to such treatment, because the ideas from his embyro mind are not thoroughly correct? It is a regrettable fact thnt a few hasty sarcastic sentences of unjust criticism have repeatedly been the means of stopping, yea, even the progress of many a youne genius. Reviewers should, criticising, study both sides of the question,—for instance, supposing we perceived tt five-dollar gold-piece lying in the gutter, covered with mire Hhoulii we not pick it up, remove the dirt and retain the gold?—certainly : Precisely the same mode of procedure applies to literary effusions; do not discard a production because there arc few errors; rectify theBe and pub- li.-h tbe gem. Happiness: Without that indispensable ingredient life would he a veritable pandemonium. Happiness consists in contentment. A large percentage of superficial people apparently labor under the delusion that happiness is solely comprised In rirli- es. In their opinion the opulent man is of necessity n hnppy man. Such a notion is most erroneous. The [merely rnsiial observer enn enslly dls- [ abuse bis or her mind of this mis- I taken Idea, and furthermore demonstrate ltn extreme fnllncioiismpss by a ! simple, but yet withal incontrovertible example. Watch attentively nny two small children about one age playing together in the street; ono, ; perchance, elaborately droHHcd, and j the other almost in rags. Does not the rich mnn'B child appear to regard his line clothcR as ! encumbrances which prevent him from enjoying the fun. rather than advantages' Nol the slightest perturbation, however, disturbs the tranquil equanimity of the poor offspring of pleblan parents, as he complacently wallows in the mire, manipulating "mud pies" or indulging himself to the full m some other species of juvenile recreation. It is somewhat similar in the case of adults, although possessing enormous wealth, it is not always beneficial; but, on the contrary, frequently irksome, and proves in many instances decidedly detrimental to the acquisition of that priceless gem—"contentment"; Inasmuch as atlluence oftentimes induces Bullishness, which undoubtedly subsequently degenerates into avaricious- ness. "Happy is he, who, though the cup of bliss Has ever shunn'd him when he thought to kiss; Who still, in abject poverty or pain, Can count with pleasure what small joys remain." An unfortunnte poor man, who had never drunk sufficient water to war- rnnt the disease, waH reduced to such an exceedingly critical condition by dropsy, that it was deemed absolutely necessary to send for a doctor. He thought tbat tapping would, undoubtedly relieve him of his distressing complaint, and the patient was invited to submit to the operation this he gladly agreed to do in spite of the urgent entreaties of his son, a boy of eight summers. "Oh, father, father, do not let him tap you," piteously flcreamed the urchin, in an agony of tears; "do anything, but do not let him tap you:" "Why, my dear child?" said the afflicted parent, "it will do me good, and I thall live long In health to make you and your mother happy." "No, father; no, you will not. There was never anything tapped In our house tbat lusted longer than a week." Apropos of the "Education Question," which is now being seriously considered from various aspects, hy all intelligent persons who have the mental, physical, and moral welfare of the rising generation legitimately at heart, we deem this an opportune moment for mdeavoring to impress on the public generally, and that portion thereof who are pnrents, gU urdians, or tutors especially, the Imperative comparison In the choice of trades or professions for tho.e juveniles whom they may have under their Immediate jurisdiction, with a view to ascertaining (irrespective of Individual prejudices) the most appropriate employment for life. Judl eious cautionary counsel coupled with the foregoing dlsptiKHionate mode of procedure will unquestionably avert the manifold domestic catnstroplifes resulting from misguided notions relative to compatibility.

When the inner child had been attended to Mr. Wilson pastor of the Presbyterian church in tbe Windermere district took the chair when a varied program was put through by the teacher an 1 pupils. Where all did so well it would be invidious to particularize but it is the general concensus of opinion that the ! greatest credit and merit is due not i only the children but their palnstak- I ing instructor and tutor who demon- ■ strated beyond question that she is a teacher of more than ordinary abil ity and acumen. At intervals Messrs. Crook and Anderson played selections on the mandolin and banjo which were acceptihly received. The hall was packed and the greatest en thustasm was manifested.

C. l CONCERNING HEALTH and BEAUTY By Mrs. Hlnry Symes GR/iariijLuN •**■ Gmtfr HAVE you ever noticed how few- women have graceful feet and ankles? Just look at the feet of the Women.who sit opposite you In the trolley ear .-utile morning when you are riding down town, aud I wager you will not find mine than one. or at the most two, out of fifty who have really good- looking feet and thin, graceful ankles. "Why fa this?" you ask. Simply because the average woman takes no thought of her feet, excepting to u-y in make them Ut Into shoes that are a also too small, porhapa. If women would only realize the im- portance of u pretty foot and ankle, especially in these days, when short gklrtfl are the fashion, they would be keen to improve their looks as much as possible. This Is not hard to do—It only takes a little time every day, nnd If certain exercises are care-fully followed and persisted In, n few months' time will show Wonderful Improvement in the thick ankles ami heavy, clumsy-looking feet. In tho first place, when you aro sitting; in a street car or a public plate where tiie feet show plainly, always keep them both firmly on tho floor. It Is a mark of IH'-breedlng to sit with tho knees crossed or the feet turned sideways with the solo of the shoe plainly in sight. To make the ankles slim and graceful, practice for ten minutes each day twisting the foot around in o rotary motion, using tho ankle as an axle. Use one foot at a time for live minutes. Tho correct way to walk id to let the iocs strike the floor first and then to bring the heel down gently. Practice walking slowly around the room several times every day, taking each step carefully and all the while holding the body erect. This not only gives strength and grace to the foot and ankle, but brings Into play the leg muscles, develops them and helps to give poise to the body. When the feet are tired, hot and aching from a long walk, bathe them With •warm milk, if possible, have enough milk In a basin to Immerse hotli feet and let them soak for twenty minutes or half an hour. Milk and water, or water softened with baking soda, makes a splendid foot bath to ease tired muscles. Milk softens the callous skin and will bo Vuuml a great aid |n keeping the feet ADVICE ON SOCIAL CUSTOMS /•yleucl 'a/a»y-u,-H€^ HOW TO BECEIVE I AM going to talk today about tho duties of the hOBtese and the host at a large afternoon tea ur reccp- , tlon, If there be a hearty wish to make every one enjoy his visit, a few ot the formal detain can soon be mastered. Flint, let me emphasize, punctuality, . Never, under any conditions, let the i Iim guest arrive before you arc fully prepared to receive. The position for hostess and host Is at the right nr the door through which tho guests enter. Daughters who are being Introduced to society, or any special guest of honor, stand beside the hosloaa. Ah a gue.it eiilers the hostess should cordially offer her hand, Then should follow an Introduction to those In line, if tho guest bo unknown to them. Whon thoro is opportunity a hostess Nhonld talk a llttlo with the guests ns lliey appear. This can tie dono easily at the beginning of a reception. .When tin- arrivals are more frequent there will he tlmo f'»r only a brief greeting ami tpiieU Introductions. The hostess should Bland at her first place, and must not desert It even for food or rest. A guest receiving with her, however, need not stay so strictly In the one position. " Daughters who receive with their mother should from time to time leave her side and mingle with the guests. After perhaps the first hour of receiving' this can be done. They can move about Ihe room, Introduce guests to one another, arrange for quick service In tiie dining room and altogether keep persons amused nnd comfortable. A husband stands beside Ids wife during the greater part of the afternoon offering a cordial hand and greeting, As tiie guests1 arrivals are fewer, ho may turn his attention to the entertainment. He should introduce, escort ladles to the dining room and bo every place Hint needs his help. This Is particularly true of a bridegroom at hln first reception. Willi the well-laid plan of receiving worked out efficiently, half of the work of an afternoon lea la accomplished, I shall speak again on this Interesting subject, In closing today. Irt me omphaslse the fact thai too large receptions are mistakes. Better It Is lo havo two less pretentious teas In perfect control than one large failure, You can do this possibly with u couple of weeks between, ami. naturally, your lists will ho made up of different names.

New deposits of valuable ore have been discovered and it is reasonable to expect that more valuable and extensive minus will be discovered in the future in the vast unexplored region ot Canada. British capital has lately expended millions of dollars in erecting extensive coke ovens, and additional mills for the production ol steel at Sault Ste. Marie and are reserving the total output of the Helen Iron Mine at Mlchtpicoten for their own furnaces. THE IRON MINES OF TORONTO The Heli n Iron Mine has produced over 1,500,000 tons of excellent ore, but the mining of iron ore in Ontario haa been and still is on a ver>' small scale compared with the American side of Lake Superior. A comparison with the output from the American mines will show the fuio. It is stated in the Ontario Bureau of Mines 1908, page 202 as follows : "There at* the same rock formation in Northern Ontario as is found throughout the iron ranges of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota and they contain the iron series that are in many cases identical with those associated with the ore bodies of the American ranges." "Banded jaspei rnagnitites and hematites occur foi many hundred miles throughout Northern Ontario and when thoroughly and intelligently prospected will no doubt afford many valuable ore bodies. If the Americans are so far a- head of us in the production of iron ore, it is because they have spent more money in the exploration wf one range alone than has bet-ii expended in exploring the whole of Northern Ontario. The Americans realise this fact themselves, have of late years spent considerable sums ' of money prospecting the Ontario ranges. That success will attend their efforts is reasonably certain and unless iron masters rise to the occasion and join in the search they will be forcod into the posit.on of Isolated buyers of native ores from American miners. At the same time we may hn confident that the greater purl of the output from theso prospective mines will be exported tu the United States ^nd " smelted in the American furnaces. PRODUCTION OF IRON ORE FROM THE LAKE SUPERIOR DISTRICT There is no other area In tho world equal to the Lake Superior as n pro ducer of high grade iron ore. The only competitor is the Mlnettfl region of Germany. France and Belgium , which Is being left rapidly behind. fn 1870 the United Slates produced a little over 8,000,000 tons of Iron ore. The iron mines In the Lake Superior region shipped in 1891, 7,021,466 tons, in 1901, 80,693,537 tons, and lu 1910, over 4l,()i)i),lllHl tons of Iron ore. In tint old ranges ol the south shore 0re Is being mlnod to the depth ol 2,000 feet Qud very little of the ore came from near the surface. Up to the present, these Iron mines ol lake Superior have shipped ovor 443,. 000,000 tuns of iron ore, worth alont at thn smelters about 11,750,000,000. Over 75 per cent, of the iron on iiBod in Ontario furnaces comes from tho United States and the percentugi la steadily increasing The following is quoted from the IFlwt Annual Report ol the Oommtsslon of Conservation, Canada page 01 "Only a few yearB ago the iron master on this continent would bard ly look at an iron ore If it contained Iron ore worth alone at the smelters about $1,750,000,01)1). Three quarters of the ore reserves of Minnesota are In the hands of the United States Steel Co. Not only must part of the future demands o thfl United States be mot from On tario, but the Ontario demand itself must also be provided for. "Only a few years ago the ironmaster on this continent would hardly look ftt an Iron ore if it contained less than 62 per rent of metallic content; now an ore of 50 per cent. Is gladly accepted. The question of the world's supply of iron is of such grave importance that the International Geological Congress has invited some twenty-six different countries Canada among the numher, to pre pare estimates of their respective iron resources to prenent at their meeting at Stockholm next Bummer." "We are and will continue to be Industrially handicapped until our fr0n Industry is developed sufficiently to meet the demands of our own conn try and render us independent of outside sources for tills nil important metal, what we need Ih not conservation of our iron ore resources but Vigorous development of our Iron Industry." ORES MINED TN ONTARIO In Ontario wo have all tho umial varieties of ores, hematite magnetite and limonlto HEMATITE About 1,500,000 tons of hematite ore have born produced from the Helen Tron Minn, the largest producer In Canada. Tho Josephine Iron Mine owned hy Mr. Alois Gofltfl of Sft'ilt flte. Marie, Mich., nnd his oflfloclltefl has proven ore body of fiC0,000 tons of excellent hematite ore averaging 59 per cent, iron content and fret from impurities and is located ou the Algoma Central Railway aud only 21 miles from the ore docks at Miclupi eoten Harbor. On this and on oth er properties in that vicinity there are extensive deposits of magnetite ore and of slderlte. Thu Magpu Iron Mine in the same district con tains millions of tons of iron ore. Considerable quantities of ore have been proven to exist at Steep Rod and Loon Lake near Port Arthur. Large mirface deposits of limonitt ore has been discovered on tbe Mat tagami River about seventy miles north of the National Trauscontlnent al Railway. MACNKTITK The province has produced about 600,000 tons af magnetite principal!) from tbe Iron Mines of Eastern On tario. Very extensive deposits o magnetite have been proven iu th. Acikokan Iron Range west ot Port Arthur and in the Moojs Mountau Range, uurth of Sudbury Many other promising deposit: have been -discovered on the Malta win Iruu Range and other Iron range iu Northern and Eastern Ontario There are the strongest assurance that Ontario would have many sbu piug mines if reasonable encouragi ment were offered by the Dom.nioa. LARGE INITIAL EXPENDITURE* REQUIRED In addition to securing aecessar; railway facilities to the iron mine and the instal'iug of en expen»n*i mining plant and the development o the mine to secure the econotnica handling of the ore it will be neces sary In many instances to have • concentrating plant to conc*n:rat. the ore or io other cases to construe additional plants to roast the ore'be fore tbe same can be smelted Aftei the ore Is concentrated or roasted most of it will be of very high gra-le and can be used in our own furnace.- to produce excellent pig iron as has already been proven by the excellent product of the Atlkokan Furnaces to mix with the lower grade ores from the Messabe ranges in the Lake Superior region and winch would be an almost unlimited market for such ore CONCENTRATION OF OUR LOW QRADH ORES There arc numerous deposits in Eastern and Northern Ontario tbai nlTord opportunity for concentrator especially where water power is av&>' able for mining and concentrating ol tho ore and nt least 100 treated daily. The concentration of thesi ores Is referred lo at length in tin Ontario Bureau of Mines Report 1901? page 271 t nd '10 page 154. Th cist ol a concentrating and brtquett Ing plant with a daily capacity of 1,000 tons would be about $301,000 A number ■' lliese plants have heen ii upcration in tho U.S., and have successfully treated ore containing 111 per cent to 43 per cent iron. Tbe re port ol the Ontario Bureau of Mine* herein before mentioned would Indi Oato that these vast deposits of low grade ore in Ontario csn be concen trated at fair profit. The ore from these mines tu Ontario must be roast id to dispel the sulphur before it cun be smelted This requires the erection of un expensive plant but ixoellent pig Iron and steel can In made from this ore ns evidenced by •he product of the Atlkokan Furnace* at Port Arthur The-ic various classes of nre an 'ound in the different ranges of Con ada nnd there are tens of millions of tons of mngnitic ore in Ontario that "an be concentrated probably at s lair profit The Canadian nnd American market will require unlimited quantities of art of which has in the past year?

In 1903 a bounty of 815 per ton was authorized to be paid to the nine owners for each ton of lead produced in Canada to assist the silver lead mine owners of British Columbia. The amount of bounty payable each year was limited to 850G,- ioo during live years and during that year and the five succeeding years, louaties aggregating $067,404, were paid but these mines of British Columbia during those six years produc- d $2:1,718.083 worth of silver and 'cad which was a most gratifying result of that policy.
