Tbe Maua> mine, LePas, Man., is a steady shipper to the Trail " smelter. Since the movement of ��� ore commenced from .this mine in June, 4,057 tons of ore has reached" Trail. For the week ending August 7 the ore receipts at Trail smelter were 10,221 tons -bringing the grand total for tbe current year up to 19137S tons of ore and concentrates. The Granby Consolidated Mining. Smelting and Power company produced 2,400,000 pounds of cop- perrin July at Auyox, according to a New York report. This is comparable with 2,079,000 pounds in, June. The Daisy mine one of "the ,old mines of Stevens county, Wash, is showing promise "of .becoming a heavy shipper. This is a galena property carrying silver from $26 up to $200. There is enough ore in sight to justify the installation of a concentrator, which will be built soon. The Curlew mine two miles north of Curlew, Wash., will resume operations in the near future.

The plant, which is being built at an enormous cost, is expected to be operating by the first of next yean The cyanide~pro"ceg"s7~whiclf is most complicated includes the crushing of the ore which is then deposited in tanks and poured over with a cyanide solution.

His Farewell A clergyman who has failed to gain the confidence of his flock was giving his farewell sermon. He started: "My dear friends, it ia clear that God does not love you, for I have not buried any of you. Tt is equally clear you do not love one another, for I have not married any of you. It is painfully clear that you do not love me for yon have not paid me last quarter's salary- I shall, however, ,be independent of you in the future, aa I go to take theposition of chaplin at a convict prison.''

"Yes, leastways it wasn't proved that they did, but evcry one knows they did, an' everybody knows that thcy arc jest wailin' fer a chance, to do Dorkin some damage. Dalton's men all hate Dorkin 'cause he's strong enough to twist 'cm in two, an' he'll do it, too, if he ever finds 'em on his grounds, an' this man Savage is snoopin' around here fer no good. He's likely shapin' trouble, with Dalton, fer Dorkin. -Maybe I'd best speak ter Dorkin about it, Wilier?" "Maybe, you'd best," said thc girl. "Won't you come over to thc preserve and stay tonight, Dannie?" shc asked coaxingly. "I promised Dorkin I'd bring you back with mc." She picked up her hat and violin and smiled cnlrcatingly down at the boy. "Wilier," hc said, "you allcrs havc your own way about everythin'. Of course I intended goin', but I guess what you mean is, will I stay? I tell you what I'll do. I'll stay there o' nights an' help on thc Preserve mor- nin's. Arternoons I'll slick on our own grounds. How's that?" Tlie girl looked her gladness. "I'd hoped you'd bc willin' to do that, Dannie," she said; "Dorkin will be pleased." She blew out thc candle and thcy passed outside where a soft night wind was throwing the soul of wood- flowers abroad through the uplands. A big moon was rising above the tree-tops, and thc broad face of far- off Old Creation glowed in a soft radiance. Thcy stood for a moment, their eyes drinking in the pale glory, in the mind of each the same thought. "Thc bars arc up tonight, Dannie," said thc girl softly. Hc did not answer, but the hold on her arm tightened. Then thcy turned towards thc trail stretching like a white cord through thc frowsy upland. .-CHAPTER VI.

Amen." During breakfast the settler enlightened his visitors with an account of the place and its people. Thcy learned that hc was timekeeper in the Flavillc Lumber Mill, a job that took" less than half of his timc, and that Tommie, his son, man-grown now, was a fire ranger in the big Tcmaga- mi Region. Flaville's mill was one of five in the vicinity and the only onc that ran all the year round. "Of course," said Pa Washburn, "things ain't up to what they used to bc afore thc Government jumped in and made a reserve out of the best tract of thc timbered Highlands. Afore that happened there was over twenty mills all runnin' full blast, night and day. Now all there is left is jest a few, runnin' fall and winter. It seems most too bad, it docs that." "Pa's bitter," explained Mrs. Washburn, when at length the man sat silent, brooding above his plate, "but 't ain't his fault at all, 'cause anybody what knows him knows hc wasn't cut out ler a limc-kccpcr in a mill. What with liis knowledge/gained by rcadin' the weekly papers from A to Z jest as regular as thcy come, he has accumulated an eddication scch as should place him in most any good position in thc city.

The story is told thus by Albert Kel- scy, of Washington, onc of thc architects of thc Pan-American building. "Once a month thc ambassadors and ministers of all thc American republics meet and are presided ovcr by our secretary of state in thc Pan- American building, and each representative has a chair of his own, with thc arms of his country carved on the back. Now, when these chairs wcrc decided on, Secretary Root asked mc to havc an additional one made with thc Canadian arms on it, whicli was It's a'done; but it has been hidden for thc past ten years, for Secretary Root cautioned mc���to usc his exact words ���to bc a 'little reticent about thc matter'."

' ".''"' - ' :~ - Butter Contains A Fat Compound ���Which is- Necessary For Health-and Growth Let us not bc argued out of the idea of using butter on the table as a food. In these days of the high cost of living there,is a tendency on the part of some to eliminate expensive articles of diet from the daily menu. But let us keep butter on the list, "iis one of thc essential luxuries. Even though it is 80c a pound. At all events, if.wc must economize oh butter let us not cut milk out of our diet entirely.' Here are some of the arguments in favor of not cutting butter or milk at least, out of the diet, arranged by Otto Bcnell of the ^Colorado Agricultural College. It has been found by repeated experiments that milk in one form or other contains a substance which is not obtainable in thc vegetable fats. This substance wanting a belter namc has been called Fat Soluble A. There is in vegetable fats a substance called Water Soluble B. Thc two arc called vita- mines of harmonies. It has been further demonstrated that Fat Soluble A is absolutely essential to the growing body, in man as well as -in animals. A subject not receiving Fat Soluble A loses in weight and has a rapidly decreasing growth cure, even while receiving Water Soluble B. Upon restoring to the diet Fat Soluble A, the subjee'; at once begins to show signs of improvement, gains in weight rapidly and shows an upward moving growth curve. Of thc two substance, butter and oleomargarine, thc former is the purely animal fat, while the latter is a mixture of- vcry little animal fat aud a preponderence of vegetable fat. Inasmuch as butter is made of milk, a fat in a highly emulsified condition and therefore very easily .digested, and contains Fat Soluble A in large amounts, it is eminently morc desirable, as a food than oleomargarine. If it is absolutely necessary to use oleomargarine in thc diet in thc place of butter, some other form of milk should be substituted, in order to supply thc necessary vitamincs. In infant feeding these facts are especially important because thc infant, if not receiving the right amount of vitamincs in its diet will not bc healthy and will not grow normal. Even pigs or hogs, when fed a ration in whicli thcy will show a marked increase over thosc which do not receive such a ration. ' - - British Are Not x ; Buying Luxuries Changed Style of Living One-Time Upper Class Germans Live In Poverty How thc erstwhile well-to-do live in present day Germany, is described in the Allgcmaine Zeitung, by an elderly high state functionary, who says-that although he belongs to the upper 30,000 in Prussia, according to the income tax schedule, his style of living is .reduced to that of a plain laborer. "I own a fine mansion in a fashionable Berlin suburb," hc writes, "but wc have been obliged to let four rooms furnished, and will havc tcyre- strict our own apartments still further. "Beforc the war, we breakfasted on eggs and bacon, white bread and butter, and tea with cream and sugar; now wc have to content ourselves with thin gruel, black bread, no butter or sugar, and thc nondescript 'official' jam. "Only once or twice a week docs meat appear on the dinner lablc; never a joint. Wine has been abolished. Supper consists of porridge, herrings or cheese. Beforc thc war the. fauiil - used seven pints of milk daily; now a quarter of a pint is thc allowance. "Clothes are worn threadbare; my son mends my shocs and my daughter cuts my hair. "Letter writing has become too expensive. I tear off unused half sheets of letters received and use old envelopes inside out. Baths are cut down to ..one-half. "Wc can no longer afford to entertain company to meals; wc meet our friends after supper." Thc present lean times, the writer confesses, havc not impaired his health very much, although he says he has become "somewhat spare in body."

On a short-sighted and selfish view the Senator is right. It is easier, for thc time being, to avoid trouble than to aid in curing it. If Great Britain and France acted as Senator Kellogg would have his country act the world would be:'pandemonium. - The Turks would bc free to resume their butcheries. Germany would tear up thc Peace Treaty, and; whether as' a. monarchy or a Republic would be rebuilding her military strength to deluge Europe again in blood." Czechoslovakia and Hungary would bc at each other's throats. Poland would be overrun by the Red Tcrror. Thc Ukraine,-Latvia, Lithuania and Ecthonia, would lose their independence, and bc scourged again by Russian rule. Palestine would be swept by Arab hordes, and thc Jewish hopes of a national home utterly shattered. Evcry ebullition of national hat'c or jealousy on the'eontinent of Europe or in Western Asia would bc the occasion of. strife and bloodshed. Europe and the Middle East still bristjc with quarrels and difficulties but conditions would be infinitely worse and1 civilization might well despair but for thc fact that thc power of two great countries, Britain and France, is exerted to keep peace and order.

This y. is the interesting but at the same '������ time disquieting fact disclosed by the recent census of the republic. 'While all the figures have not yet -��� bee'n tabulated, examination - of the ���'.'.'������ returns is sufficiently far advanced" to warrant the above statement, according to officials. It has, of course, been known for , a long time that one of the .effects of the wonderful industrial activity brought about in the United States by tlie"war was the exodus of people to the larger centres of population to / vvhich thcy were Attracted by the prevailing high wages and by a'dc- "mand for workers which opened to energetic and capable men, and women too, splendid opportunities for a rapid' advancement. Then, too, thousands of young men drafted froni' the farm into the army havc not returned to the land upon their discharge from military service which, if it did. not actually/ take them overseas, brought ..thcm into cantonments and camps on thc outskirts of centres of population and introduced them-to city lifc. / The samc shifting of population ��� is, unfortunately, taking plac^.in Canada. While it is doubtful if the urban population of thc Dominion has actually outstripped thc rural, as in thc United Statcs, we arc on thc liigli road to sue]* a development.

Today thc figures arc almost exactly reverse'd ��� the 70 percent in Ontario live in thc towns. In a recent article in this column thc question was asked as to what was the explanation, and certain views were expressed as to steps that ' might bc taken to check this disastrous -'ten-dency on thc part of young people to get away from the land.'

David's-Sins (12:9, 10). <"-���--��� 1. Adultery (v. 9; cf.. 11:1-4). .David instead of going forth at the head of the army as wag the duty'of the king (11:1), sent "Joab and his servants and he himself lounged around at home in idleness. It was while'in idleness that he fell a victim to his lust, and committed . adultery,, with Bethsheba. "An idle brain; is the Devil's workshop." The crimes of the world are committed for the most part by idlemcn and Svomen." .. 2. Murder ,(12:9 cf_ll:lS-21). Having committed' adultery with Uriah's wife, David tried'to cover up his'sin by killing Uriah. He ordered Joab to .place Uriah at thc forefront of the battle where he would surely bc killed. When nfen sin they endeavor to cover up thcir-sins by committing other sins, and usually it requires the doing of greater wickedness to cover up wrong that has been done. IL David's Sorrow (18:1-33): ) 1. Thc battle between Absalom and David (vv. 1-18). Following Absalom's revolt, David fled from Jerusalem: After counsel with Ahitrophcl and Hushai, Absalom with, his men went in pursuit.' Absalom planned well, but made one great mistake��� he left God out of the question. Being dissuaded by the people, David foregoes his purpose of going forth with ;the army. He sent thc army forth under three commanders. His one special request as they went to 'battle was that'they deal"gently with Absalom: The victory of David's army was overwhelming. The interference of Providence is marked in that more died: in the erita'riglc- ment of the woods than by the sword.: In the flight, Absalbm was caught in trie bough of a tree by thc head,- and"was left hanging as thc mule went forth from under him. Perhaps his long hair which hadbeen his pride was the instrument of. his destruction.'5 While thus hanging, Joab thrust him-- through the heart with three' darts". This awful end was deservedly met (Dcut. 27:16', 20; 21:23). "Thcy disgracefully disposed of his body. (vv. 17, 18). They cast it into a pit and piled stones upon it as a fitting monument of his villainy. How different- from what hc planned (v. 18). His one ambition was to bc. remembered'... A heap, of stones piled upon him in contempt is quite different from a tomb in' thc King's vale. 2. The victorious tidings announced to David (vv.. 19-32). Hc was anxiously waiting for news from the.bat. tlefield. So anxious was hc that he stationed a.watchman upon the walls to look for'" some riiesseriger to appear". His first question to the -messenger shows what was uppermost in his'heart." It \vas the welfare.of his boy. -./. '3.

(3) -he States Will Want Alberta Cattle ��� / Live stock Man From Chicago Sees A Market For Canadian /, Product That there will-be an enormous demand for' Canadian feeders and stockcrs in_.the United States this fall, is the information given by A. A. Walters of the firm of Walters & Dunbar, one of the.principal livestock commission houses in Chicago. Mr. Walters is at present in the West, looking into the cattle situation generally. He stated that witfiout the. slightest doubt stock raisers on the other side of the line this year would be able, to absorb all .the feeders and stockcrs that Alberta can offer this year at good prices. ���/ According to Mr. Walters Canadian cattle arc pre-eminently suitable for ''finishing purposes, compared to those from the southern'' and southwestern statcs, as thcy were able to stand the winter much better. tEvery effort on the part of cattlemen hc said, were being taken to block the 27 percent tariff bill on Canadian cattle which was now before thc Senate, and which had been passed, by thc lower house. Thc Senate, however, would not meet until December next, so lhat there would b.e no question about the free importation of animals ..this fall. While the demand, was great at the present time for Canadian stockcrs and feeders this would bc niuch more noticeable' in about thirty days, as farmers-in the corn belt were busy just now harvesting, by September first thcy would be through.and will be in the market for all the Canadian cattle thcy could lay their hands on. One of the most' important statements of Mr. ..Walters was that these farmers did not ftquire any financial assistance from the banks in connection with the purchase of these cattle. Thcy were mostly bought in comparatively^ small individual lots, and had ample means of providing all funds necessary.- Thc principal sales were made on the Chicago market,' also at S���t. Paul and. Winnipeg- '"Canadian cattlc^rank very high in the-United States," continued Mr. Walters. "They put on weight quickly and experiments carried .out on a large'scale prove conclusively >. that they are satisfactory in cvery way." . Minard's Liniment Relieves Garget In Cows.

This was decided at a moot, or discussion, in Gray's Inn Hall, London, recently, at which Justice Darling presided. Justice Darling, in thc course of his- judgment, said that for an airman to take a lighted pipe and smoke it when flying at a point where if it fell, it would fall by gravitation to thc earth instead of to the moon, to allow it to fall or not prevent it to fall��� that was A itself prima facie negligence. If the pipe fell to earth and set fire to a haystack or did any other damage the person injured was entitled to an action to recover damages for negligence.
