ILM PER YEAR -Co PER COPY Doukhobor Sckools Are Fire Victims The Doukhobor schoolhouse at Spencer, in the Doukhobor colony west of this city, was destroyed by fire Monday night. The fact that three Doukhobor schools, a flour mill and a warehouse ln the Nelson district were burned the same night point strongly to the fires being of an Incendiary origin, and nrast people are inclined to lay the crime at the door of the fanatical Sons of Freedom. At present the provincial police are endeavoring to find a clue to the perpretrators of of the outrage. In the Kootenay, the Doukhobor schools at Champion Creek, Brilliant and Krestova were burned Monday1 night, and at Glade a flour mill and warehouse were destroyed. A dispatch from the coast states Joshua Hinchliffe, minister of education, made the statement on Tuesday night that the schools would be rebuilt at once along more modem lines Ur. Hinchliffe had a lengthy Interview with Peter Veregin, jr., who has consented to have the schools rebuilt hi time for the opening of the fall term. The Doukhobors must stand sll losses Incurred through the fires. Mr. Veregin, after'considerable discussion, agreed to take the responsibility for rebuilding the burned Schools and promised that he would have his people begin Immediately on their reconstruction. He declared that In any case he would see that aome out of accommodation was provided for the children, until the new schools had bee noompleted. This was Incase, Mr. Hlnchllfle stated, that they had not been finished by September 3, the date let for the opening of school 'throughout the province. Mr. Veregin thought, however, that the Ave- recently burned schools would have been rebuilt by that time at least. He could in any event, he said, make arrangements to have the school chil dren taught right ln some ot the larger Doukhobor homes. ' "We have not left the problem at that however," Mr. Hinchliffe declared. "We have taken steps to see that'there shall be no repetition of this senseless burning of schools." v Special constables have been placed on guard at every school which might possibly be threatened by further at tacks. There they will remain until they have received further notice. "Taking these two facts together," Mr. Hinchliffe concluded, "tbe prov Ince should have little or no trouble regarding tbe Doukhobor school question from now en," Peter Veregin, in a communication to the Nelson News, has denounced the carrying on of the fanatical Sons of Freedom, much and get out of heaing. The ideal way ls to organize a neighborhood group, a number of schools, a club or any body with amnion Interests, and visit the Institution at a time appointed, taking alont a picnic luncheon to b eaten on the gounds.

It should also be highly profitable. The degree of pleasure and profit wil depend large'y upon how lt is undertaken. To wander casually about the premises looking at things without learn Ing their scope or purpose, nor the significance of accumulated data, is to make the least of the opportunity. Greatest benefit can be derived only under the guidance of some one competent to explain the work. The writer has never forgotten his first visit, as a boy, to tho Ontario Agricultural College, upon one of the annual farmers' excursions. After luncheon, followed by an awakening address by Prsldent Mills, Processor (now Dr.) Zavlts took the excursionists through the field plots, uncover Ing a wealth of data and Inspiring an eager interest In what was to be seen. The late William Ronnie discussed "June conditions in the winter stable," and so on. These men had the fervor of zealots and created an undying Impression of knowledge, enthusiasm and hope. A visit to any experimental farm should yield something like that To this end group attendance is necessary. In most cases tens of thousands of people visit each of these institutions annually. Desirous as are the staffs of meeting and greeting the public, it is a physical Impossibility to give adequate attention to all individual visitors. ' On the other hand, large crowds •re unwieldy. The people scatter too By ERWIN GREER President Greer College * AIRPLANE traffic will, within three years, bring all parts of the country hear to you. Development of the newer sections has already taken speed for economic holes are-being filled by air-minded men with an experienced eye for opportunities, and the airplane win be the vehicle used. Why? Because transport lines are now at work changing the map of business. Witness, you skeptical ones, the passenger and freight air traffic between cities comparatively dose together. And. know that many big business men are using the airplane to commute with, If the traveling salesman can travel three times as fast by airplane as he can by train and personally meet thirty times as many buyers aa he could before, he is certain to do that much more business. For when any man moves at airplane speed he learns how t„ use each minute advantageously. Even the hard-boiled, fishy-palmed banker is beginning to take the airplane seriously. Certain banks have kept account of shipping funds and securitiesby mail, as against the'interest saved by mere days' use at the money. One bank saved $33,000 in one year, on an investment of only $1200 in the expense of air transport, Co.i sequently, business men and buyers of all sorts are aa eager to get the most intensive use of their money dr the goods they are buying. And they are not content to let money or goods get lazy ln delayed transportation. Peter F. O'Shea, writing in The Magazine of Business, predicts 1949 thusly: /"All the long-distailce* passenger hauling will be by airplane; all the short-distance passenger hauling by motor busses. Railroads will carry no passengers at all. That will leave tlie trains free to do a continuous stream business in freight. AU freight will be speeded up from its present rate so that slow freight may move as quickly as what is now called fast freight. "When we get mail ln the air, people in the air, money in the olr, and valuable goods ln the air, we will have a new country commercially. We will have the same soil beneath us, the same mountains, but a new fast-moving population, a new fast-moving commerce." And I predict that time will only be ten years hence. Deep sorrow spread over the community when it was heard that Dr. VanKleek had passsed away at Rochester, Minnesota, where he had gone less than two weeks before to consult with surgeons of the Mayo clinic. He was suffering from a condition of partial paralysis, and death came before an operation could be performed. Flags were flown at half- mast, bowling greens and tennis courts closed and picnics were cancelled for the week when the news reached here. Of United Empire Loyalist stock, the late Dr.VanKleek was born at VanKleek Hill, Ontario, and graduated from Toronto University. He came to Armstrong when 25 years old and during thirty years of practice here made a reputation for himself throughout the North Okanagan He wits active in support of the building of the local hospital and prominent in sport circles. He was the Liberal candidate ln the provincial election last year. Besides his widow, five children and four sisters survive. His only brother, Major Bruse VanKleek waa killed ln the last month of the Great War.

W. R. Motherwell, minister of agriculture, congratulated the valley on the giant strides made during tbs past seven years through diversification of crops. "Mixed farming with a specialty is sound practice." he stated. Referring to local problems, the minister said that every locality had troubles, and as far as greater protection for fruit through antl-dumping was concerned, lt was not necessarily a problem Impossible of solution. The government's policy would be "to protect the Canadian market for the Canadian grower without raising the price to the consumer." Through cold storage plants, of which there are twelve In Canada today for fruit and vegetables, the extension of work through experimental stations and investigation of the by-products possibilities, Mr. Motherwell felt that many problems were nearing successful solution. Field Selection of Potato Seed The modern potato grower has practically abandoned the practice of ^electing tubers from the bin for seed purposes. Proof has been obtained, that unless tuber selection is practised in the field after all the disease plants have been "rogued out" the crop will not be substantially improved. The elimination of "off- type" or diseased plants should commence as soon as the plants are above Prairie Fruit and Vegetable Market CALGARY, ALTA.— Weather has, been very warm and oppressive this I Apricots, British Columbia Blenheim, Moorpark, Fire Desroys Fair Buildings in Nelson NELSON, Aug.l—The Nelson fair buildings were a . mass of smoking ruins Wednesday night following one of the most spectacular fires ever witnessed in the city. Commencing ac about 9 o'clock the whole 'building was a mass of flames within ten minutes. The fire department confined the blaze to the fair buildings and saved the beautiful home of A. D. Emory adjoining and the Stirling Hotel on the other side. Two show buildings and a large grandstand were burned to the ground. The damage will amount to about $20,000, partly covered by insurance. John Burns and Sons, contractors, suffered a loss ln piled lumber totaling about $2,000. week. Today (Friday) clouds indicate that rain Is in the offing; it will be welcome at all points. The fruit business is fair, competition amongst Jobbers very keen. The rasberry deal has had ideal weather conditions. Up to date 45 cars have arrived at prairie points. The heat of last week Interfered a little with cars opened in transit. L.O.L. shipments to Calgary and Edmonton dlsturbd the price at those points, but otherwise the deal has been clean and satisfactory. A farmer's organization at Mission has circularized the trade, claiming that they control 90 percent, of the blackberries grown ln B.C. They are appealing to city jobbers to help them distribute this crop. Apricots have been ln the limelight all this week. The laid down price is $1.75. One wholesaler started them at $1.80, another followed suit, until a leading wholesaler quoted No. 1. apricots at $1.75. They are offered retail as low as $1.90 for No. 1. B.C. Peach plums are now on the market. The Okanagan Cooker pack of apples are of fine quality, fulyequal to Washington Face Sc Fill. The cherry and raspberry deals are about over, both have been satisfactory from the growers' standpoint, During this week four cars of Kansas potatoes were imported into Calgary. Only three wholesalers participated in them. At the time of arrival of imported cars the market was well stocke with B.C. spuds, and since then the potato movement has been backing up. The Canadian tariff on imported potatoes is 35 cents per 100 lbs., or $7.00 per ton Reports from prairie points indicate that local potato growers will not dig potatoes, even at present prices, as they figure they are too immature to be profitable. A half car of tomatoes "flat pack' arrived from Kamloops. Outside of this car arrivals have been on th. green side. This shipment is too ripe and the "flat pack" is unpopular. Kamloops will have to "buck up" to maintain their last year's reputation for fine tomatoes, CALGARY WHOLESALE PRICES TO RETAIL Ontario Blueberries, U's. $3.60 to $175 Royal, layered.

Time does not permit the average farmer to "rogue out" and destroy all the diseased and offtype plants that appear in his main crop. The Dominion Plant Pathology Laboratory at Saanichton B.C. has advocated the establishment of an isolated small seed plot just big enough to provide the required seed for the following year. We have found ample evidence to show that it is more profitable to "rogue out" all but tlie Ideal plants ln a small seed plot, than attempt to "rogue out" the diseased plants in the main crop. We have advocated the practice of cutting each tuber into four sets and planting the quartettes as single units. Dealing with "fours of a kind" (tuber units) Inspires greater confidence in the elimination of disease. We now know that potatoes "run out" by being infected with virus diseases. If aphlds and other Insects are plentiful, a single diseased plant may infect a large proportion of the other plants in the seed plot. Therefore, the immediate removal is necessary of all plants with mottled leaves, curled leaves, abnormally thin stems and coarse stems, or plants abnormal in any other respect. All such abnormal plants may be caused by infectious virus diseases, and insects, particularly potato aphids, are usually the cause of their spread. Our studies have indicated that the seed plot should be planted early. When potatoes are planted late, the symptoms of certain virus diseases are difficult to detect and sometimes appear to be entirely masked. To improve potatoes through field selection, it is advisable to harvest early. No matter how thorough the plots are Inspected, diseased plants are likely to be found at the time of harvest, providing frost or other factors have not damaged the vines. It usually pays to harvest the seed plot by hand, so that each plant may be Inspected as the tubers are dug. If the plant has become diseased late ln the season, the effect of the disease upon the size, shape or quantity of tubers will be negligible, but tubers from such hills will be adversely affected the following year. Therefore, the character of the tops as well as the tubers should be noted at the time of harvest. Hills with elongated or knobby tubers should be eliminated even though the tops appear to be nor mal, for "spindle tuber disease" ls frequently the cause and lt ls difficult to detect by character of the top. We have also found substantial proof that early harvesting tend to reduce rhizoctonia (black scurf). This disease continues to develop in the soil and upon the underground stems after the pottato has ceased to grow. The early removal of the tubers from the soil reduces the chance of the black scurf from forming upon the skin of the tubers. These black bodies are a source of danger, for they are not always killed by the corrosive sublimate or formalin dips due to their resistant structure.—W. Newton. WestKootenay Gives Granby New Toll VICTORIA, Aug. 3.—The longstanding power rate dispute between the West Kootenay Power &Llght Oo. and theGranby Consolidated Mining Sc Smelting Co., which convulsed the interior last year and Id to the passage of public utility legislation at the last session of the Legislature, has been finally settled amicably, lt was understood at the Parliament Buildings today. According to official Information received from the West Kootenay Company it has agreed to an entirely newtoll for the Granby operations at AUenby and Copper Mountain. In place of the former scale of charges, which was governed by the fluctuating price of copper and ranged from sixty-five hundredths of a cent per kilowatt hour to 105 hundredths, a new flat rate of 85 hundredths has been established. This rate was officially filed by the power company with the water board this week and on submission to the Granby company was not protested. The Granby company had planned to launch an immediate appeal to the water board against the former rate if it were filed again by the West Kootenay company. This would have produced an arbitration before the water board, which ls clothed with full judicial powers. The arbitration has been averted by the present friend ly settlement, following a .dispute which at one time threatened to plunge part of the interior into darkness. It is expected a similar settlement will be reached in the dispute between the West Kootenay company and the city of Grand Forks, which launched the first protest against the company's rates. The water board thus will have no occasion for the present to use Its new powers. Members of Irrigated Districts to Be Asked to Meet the Premier VICTORIA, Aug. 6—Premier Tolmle announced after a cabinet meeting today that he would cal 1 into conference here Thursday members of the Legislature for the irrigated districts of the interior for a final discussion of irrigation relief. It is considered probable that decisions reached Thursday will cover water charges for the current year, and that a final Irrigation policy will await the outcome of the Sanford Evans fruit commission investigation.

Maid—That'll be all right ma'am; I ain't a bit worried o' coming home ia the dark. TRAIL, Aug. 1,—Nick Verzuh and Lysle Baldock came to their deaths through the accidental explosion of an oxygen cylinder in the boiler shop of the Consolidated Mining Sc Smelting Company at Tadanac. That is the verdict of a jury enquiring Into the deaths of these two boiler house apprentices at the smelter here Wednesday morning. The Jury added a rider recommending that oxygen containers be tested at regular intervals. Baldock was a former Pentiction man. The accident occurred while the men were filling the tanks for the day's work. There was no flash of fire and the noise of the explosion was like a crack from the connecting hose. The tank was hurled throuh the roof to a height of about 300 feet and crashed down through a wash house.

WHILE tabasco peppers, so called because they were grown in the state of Tabasco, Mexico, were long an established product in trade and regularly exported fiom Mexico ln the early part of the Nineteenth century, no one conceived the idea of trying to grow this plant in the United States until 1850. It was then that Col. Maunscll White obtained a few seeds from a Mexican who lived in Tabasco, and planted them on his plantation ln Louisiana. With proper care and cultivation, these peppers grew profusely and before long became of a better quality than those produced in Mexico. Because of the origin of the seeds, White named the product tabasco, the name by which it is known today. collections embraced, until now the detailed catalogue j prepared by Mr. Millar Christy, an authority on the ; history nf fire-making appliances, already comprises over 250 pages.'

AS a result of the threatened suspension of diamond- cutting by the World Diamond Cutter* union of Antwerp, Belgium, and Amsterdam, Holland, the diamond markets of the world may.be moved to South Africa. This was the prediction of F. W. Beyers, the minister of mines, which was made during his speech while laying the foundation stone of the diamond-cutting factory at Kimberley, South Africa, recently. He warned the organization thut if the boycott materialized, South Africa would train a sufficient number of cutters to carry on the industry unaided.

THE wings of man have now come to the aid of the birds of the air when their wings have been Injured. Foi est fires in Southern California swept wide areas thickly inhabited with quail, and not only resulted in" injuries to the legs and wings of the birds, but wiped out wide stretches of their feeding grounds. The birds, like human refugees, flocked to the few isolated spots of green in the littlfe valleys which the fire did not reach. Faced with physical handicaps, as well as a greatly inadequate food supply, the birds were ln a fair way to perish until a group of sportsmen ln Los Angeles banded ~ together to provide feed for the birds. Daily, over the bird refuges, airplanes traveled and sprinkled grain down to where the birds congregated below. AN understanding of boy psychology, and the application of a few simple principles growing out of such undersatnding, have been factors in the success of the Detroit Boys' club. At one time articles were disappearing with distressing regularity from one of the coat rooms used by the younger boys. Suspicion centered on one who had the reputation for "lifting" things. He was promoted to chairmanship of an anti-theft com- mr.tee—and there were no more complaints of stolen goods. "Jim" used to be a gang leader. His profane vocabulary was picturesque and complete. When asked to take the chairmanship of the anti-swearing committee he v/as flattered, and said: "H-ll, yesl I'll make those blanhety-blank bozos cut out their swearing." And he did—along with marked improvement in the leader himself. AN English naturalist describes a duel which he witnessed ln the moonlight between two hares, the cause being a female that went on nibling grass during the encounter without paying the least attention to the contest, Thn battlers were facing each other in a real lighting attitude, ineir forepaws held in the front looking like human fists. Standing on their haunches these two fighters went all out. They boxed in fine style, thfii little "fists" darting in and out like flashes. Some blows were cleverly parried, others went well home, and as they fought footwork was not absent, for they circled round, but always facing each other. One lost his balance and sprang aside lightly, to be instantly followed up, and the punching waa renewed. Apart from the soft noire of the blows going home there was no other sound. The end came quickly. It was almost a knockout, but I am afraid our rules would have put it down as a foul. One hare slipped down, landed on all four feet, and quick as lighting his opponent turned and gave him a kick that landed Urn many yards away, WHAT is the favorite food for each section of the United States?

These unlovelj awelleis of the underground, the combined bulk of which u> live times that of the whole human race, clothes anc all, apparently drew what was left when nature was handing out her gifts. While we share the sunshine with the house files, the beasts of the field and the birds of the air, these downtrodden individuals pass a lack-luster existence moving dirt from one place to another. Yet without eyes, without ears and without lungs, for they breathe through their skins, and with a string of nerve ganglia Instead of a brain, they are independent of re pair shops.

THESTTN: GRAND FOBKS, BRITISH C50LUMBIA 14 You will* derive lav mora satisfaction from SALADA than you will trom cheap tea detmwMtk TEA 'Fresh from the gardens* Britain's Government SUN'S WEEKLY rj~1 HE British TRAVELOGUE I general election I which recently turned the government over and reversed numerous . , policies, also brought Into prominence the form of government which differs markedly from the form followed ln the United States. During the past two decades one ot the outstanding world developments has been the spread ot the responsible cabinet system. Before the World war broke up the # autocracies of Eurlpe, France wat, the only republic on the continent employing the British form of cabinet government. Now the list includes, besides France; Finland, Esthonla, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Ozecho-slovakla, and Austria. Recent agitation to permit members of the United States cabinet to be present on the floor of the senate and house and to take part in debate on matters concerning their depart-] ments serves to bring out the difference between the privileges and du ties of the cabinet members of various countries. To begin with, the "cabinet" of the United States ls a cabinet in name only, for the government of the United States is in no sense a "cabinet" government as are the governments of Oreat Britian and France, and those of a large number of the other leading countries of the world. There is not even formal sanction for the existence ot our cabinet as an advisory council . to the President. The members' have an undoubted legal status as heads ot the various administrative departments, but the President need never call them together. President Washington held no cabinet meetings at first, and President Wilson did not call his department heads together tor a period of many months. When thePresldent does receive the advice of his cabinet, he is under no obligation to follow'it. Great Britain is "the mother ofcab lnets" as well as the "mother of parliaments." Her cabinet is not of a fixed size, and while most members are heads of departments, there may be members "without portfolio" who have no special duties. In direct contrast to the situation in the United States, every member mus be a member of either the lower' br upper house of parliament. All have seats in both houses and therefore not only have ihe privilege of debating but also of voting. Of greatest Importance, when an Important vote in the house of commons goes against the cabinet Its members must resign so as to permit anew cabinet, usually of the op posing political party, to be formed The cabinet, under the British sys tern, ls really a committee of the house of commons which the party in power permits to manage all ex ecutlve affairs, and to shape and lead all legislative action. The cabinet in action is the real government; while lt functions the prime minister is the real ruler, and parliament is his instrument. ' But there are checks and balances. The house of commons can force the resngation of the cabinet, and the cabinet can force the dissolution of the house. The matter is thus put squarely up to the people, who elect another house, from the majority party of which a new cabinet ls chosen. Practically all of the other part of -lie western world is under cabinet governnment. This includes all of Europe except Russia and Switzerland. South Africa, and the French portions jf North Africa. Canada brings a large part of North America into the cabinet column. In the East, Australia and New Zealand have true cabinet governments. Japan has a slightly modified form, and China a nominal one. The constitutions of most of the countries of the western hemisphere have been modeled after that of the. United States with an absence of responsible cabinets. The British cabinet form of government came into existence by a sei of happy accidents. Because the old privy council became such a large, unwieldy body, the king fell Into the habit of consulting with only the few leaders, holding a small council in 1,1s cabinet or private apartment. Shortly afterward England had two German kings who could not understand English, and the "cabinet council" was permitted to meet without the sovereign. By the time an English speaking king came to the throne the custom of excluding the king from cabinet meetings had been firmly fixed. By degrees the king practically lost his power to dismiss the cabinet and it became responsible first to parliament, and then soley to tlie house of commons. Some students of government, looking farther back, see the roots of parliamentarism, with its outgrowth, the 'cabinet committee," at Runnymede, where Magna Carta was signed 714 years ago. Runnymede lies only five miles down the Thames from Windsor, the town which holds the most sumptuous of the palaces of the British kings and which gave its name as an Eng lish family name to the present monarch when, during the World war, his German name became unacceptable. The meadow is only some twelve or fifteen miles upstream from London —so close that the city's cltlaeu soldiers maintain a rifle range for practice on the edge of the famous tract. There is a conflict ef opinions as lo whether Runnymede or Magna Carta island, just off shore, was the site of the signing of the Great Charter. A generally accepted version of the historic incident states that the army of barons encamped on Runnymede, that King John's followers remained on the opposite bank of the stream, and that the meetings between the monarch and the leading barons took place on the island. A cottage on the island houses a stone slab on which it is asserted that the document was signed. . Though the original "Articles of the Barons" were signed on June 15, 1215 the day on which they were presented, the provisions were not put in the form of a charter and executed by John until June 19; so this day also might lay claim to the title, "Magna Carta Day." Four more days were taken up with the making of provisions for carrying out the charter. During the entire period of a week and a day the baronial army remained encamped under arrms at Runnymede, while King John rode over each day from his palace at Windsohr. The Great Charter which was signed at Runymede or on its nearby island has been pretty well accepted as the greatest document ln English history. Some commentators have gone so far as to see in It the creator of the English constitution of to>'?y. Other English students of the charter feel that it did not differ materially from other charters granted by earlier kings, but that lt has been, especially valuable on account ot the dramatic situation, surrounding its signature and of the ideals, formulated because of the reverence for the document shown by subsequent generations. According to such views it harbored the germs which later developed into the writ of habeas corpus, trial by jury and the parliamentary system. A very large part of Magna Carta was devoted to restraining the king's taxing powers and to setting out feudal procedure, the latter a field now wholly without practical interest. Nor were all the steps taken ln Magna Carta forward steps. It sanctioned the trial by ordeal, provided credible witnesses were present. One paragraph provides that no one shall be arrested on the appeal of a woman, except on the charge of causing the death of her husband. The reason assigned for this "reform" was that a woman could not prove her case ln the judicial combat. |^| Bananas and Wisdom "Fruit of the wise" Linnaeu? called the banana, says the Nature Maga- zlnq, because tradition has lt that when Alexander the Great crossed into Inlia he found the pundits discoursing under the shade of its giant foliage.

Two hem Canadians from Roununla demonstrate the art of weaving at Rtal nn Those who have in the past regarded the New Canadians from Europe as hewers of wood and drawers of water must, after the recent demonstrations at the Great West Festival at Regina, admit that tliete peoples have, with their native arts, decidedly enhanced the cultural wealth of the country of their adoption. J. Murray Gibbon, who sponsored the festival under the auspices of the Canadian Pacific Railway, even goes so far as to say that Saskatchewan and the other prairie provinces have within their borders the foundation of a National culture finer than that of any other nation on earth. To this foundation, the first sod for which had been turned at the previous festival at Winnipeg, ell the races which go to make up the peoples of the west have contributed—Icelanders and Irish with their folk-songs and lore, Swedes and Slavs alike with their folk-cralts and dancer. Hardly a race known to civilization, old or new, but" contributed to the festival some artistry which will make for the -further development of that culture which, being national, will be the means of welding to a still greater solidarity, those people who are Canada. That the movement for the attainment of this end is a popular one was demonstrated by the fact that literally thousands were unable to obtain admission to the exhibits and concerts and that western cities •It vising with one another as the site of the next festival "MEVER wait to see if a headache •^ will "wear off." Why suffer when there's always Aspirin ? The millions of men and women who use it in increasing quantities every year prove that it does relieve such pain. The medical profession pronounces it without effect on the heart, so use it as often as it can spare you any pain. Every druggist always has genuine Aspirin tablets for the prompt relief of a headache, colds, neuralgia, lumbago, etc. Fa- miliarir.e yourself with the proven directions in every package. ®\SPIRIN iaftrta la a Vnftauk BMgUtam' *- Save The Forests!

" Indifference, ignorance and carelessness, are the malevolent forces which result in forest fires and only a thorough education of the publio to the great need of forest preservation can eradicate these evils. Until the general publio understands the full significance of the loss occasioned through forest fires unnecessary destruction of thousands of acres of fine timber will continue. The menace to the financial health of Canada. through forest fires has not been fully appreciated by the vast majority of the people. And Canadians especially should be vitally concerned in the welfare of their forests. The various phases of the lumber Industry in Canada represent an invested capital of approximately five hundred million dollars. The associated industries give employment to thousands of men the year through. Further, out of every five dollars the lumber industries pay back to the country more than four dollars for the wood, the labor and the taxes involved in the enterprises. In the province of Ontario alone, . about 20,000 men are employed in the bush while 10,000 are employed in pulp and paper mills. The capital invested in these industries in Ontario is estimated at about 1175,000,000. The organisations employed by the Ontario provincial government for forest fire protection cost $3,000 a day. Yet with all this forest fires consume twelve times the amount of lumber which is the life ef these huge Canadian industries. In the province of Quebec the value of the lumber cut, including pulp-wood, exceeds MO.000,000 annually. In co-operation with the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, the Montreal Publicity Association has given generous leadership in drawing public attention to the meaning of Forest Conservation Week, which is held annually in the United States and Canada from April 19 to 25. Scores of public bodies all over North America have joined in the effort to stimulate public interest in the forests and means for their preservation. When a forest burns everybody loses. Tho destruction of a wooded area means just so much less of a natural heritage for the generations to come. During Forest week the object is to impress this important fact on uie public. The Canadian Pacific Railway has been doing all in its power to prevent fires by maintaining fire fighting apparatus of the most up-to-date pattern. In order to eliminate the possibility of fires being started by passing trains, locomotives on the Canadian Pacific Railway lines are examined at the end of each trip and great ■*-»J care is token to see that ash pans and front ends are in perfect condition. Km Ii spring the right of way ia cleared with care of all scrap and inflammable material. Notices dealing with fire prevention and protection, issued by the C.P.R., the dominion and! provincial governments and by various fire prevention organisations are posted in all stations and other buildings where they will be effective. The mechanical equipment maintajnad by the Company for fire fighting consists of a number of tank car units and hoss. kept ready for immediate operation at convenient points. Each unit oonsists of two tank cars each of 7,000 gallon capacity, equipped with powerful pumps nnd about one mile of hose. The fire-fighting forces maintained by the Canadian Pacific Railway co-operate to the fullest extent with the provincial forces and the other ■ fire-prevention organizations, and do everything possible t o assist in the fighting of fires which am at nil adjacent to their tanitocUa.

BABIES There are certain which, although they are comparatively rare and are responsible for but few deaths, attract attention because of the sufferings which they cause and our Inability to cure them. For example, we think of rabies with horror, not because it ls a common disease or because lt causes many deaths, but for the reason that when it does occur, we find ourselves helpless. The reason we refer to this particular disease is not ln order to cause a thrill of horror, but to remind our readers that rabies can be prevented The time between tbe occurrence of the bite and the development of symptoms —the Incubation period- varies a good deal; the average In man Is about forty days. If the disease ls to be prevented, lt is necessary that the treatment,, which by the new Semple method takes fourteen days, be completed, and that fifteen days be allowed for the full development of the protection which the treatment produces. In order to secure the necessary twenty-nine days before the symptoms develop, it is essential that tretment be started at the earliest possible moment. Persons who are bitten by animals should immediately consult their physician ln regard to treatment. The doctor will cauterise the wound with fuming nitric add and will advise as to the Pasteur preventive treatment after considering the circumstances. The animal responsible should not be killed, but should be captured and kept. If it has rabies, lt will die ln • few days. If after ten days tbe anl mal shows no symptoms, tis ls evi. dence that lt Is not suffering from rabies. In the meantime, treatment will have been started because, as stated, there ls no time to be lost, and It Is continued until the physician is oertain that lt is not required, or, If lt ls required, until the treatmene has been completed. The Pasteur preventive treatment, or rabies vaccination, is not a cure. It is of no value once the disease has developed; it does prevent when given promptly. Its value depends then upon/he time factor; given early means success; given late means failure. questions concerning health, addressed to the Canadian Medical association, 184 College Street, Toronto^ will be answered personally by letter.
