"Havoc", a William Pox picture will be the foaluro attraction, at the Greenwood theatre on Saturday, June 26th. There will also be Fox varieties entitled "The River Nile" and "The world we Live in." The appeal in the case of Cudworth vs. Eddy, oiigiiially tried here before- Judge Brown and a jury, was allowed by the Court~of Appeal at Victoria on Friday,..the 11th inst. This was'an appeal by plainlilf from the judgment of -Judge Brown in tlie -County Court at Greenwood, in an action claiming $500 commission on a real estate deal. Plaintiff, a married woman, alleged that she was employed by the defendant to sell his ranch for $15,000, and was to get a commission of .$600 on any sale she brought about. Defendant denied liiis ahd states that the agreement" was that if the plaintiff procured a purchaser,-she would be paid something .for her trouble when the purchase money was paid.' Plaintiff, according to the evidence, did procure a purchaser, and- one of the terms was. the acceptance of an agreement for sale_ of land in-Saskatchewan as part' payment to the amount'of $3,300. ,-This was tp he subject to inquiry .as to value. The negotiations between the plaintiff and defendant" as to the former getting a purchaser 'commenced late in August, 1924, and extended to September 13, 1924. The defendant's inquiries as to the satisfactoriness of the-agreemenl of salo wore apparently finished on September 20, 1524, when he notified tlie plaintiff that lie would accept it in part payment. Plaintiff, during the early part, of the'transaction was not a" holder of a real estate agent's licence, which is a condition precedent to entitle a,person to bring an action for commission.1 But she obtained one on September 16. The deal was completed on September 20 by the notification from the defendant" that - he was satisfied with the Saskatchewan agreement. Defendant moved for a non-suit -on the ground that the plaintiff had fully earned her commission on September 13, but-that as she was no,t then a holder of a, real estate, agent's licence, she was not entitled, in law, to recover. -The judge took the case from, the .'jury, and .directed .a nonsuit. - The Court of Appeal, on the .contrary, was of opinion that the plaintiff's right of action did not arise until the deal was completed; that it was-not completed until September 20,- when* defendant accepted the Saskatchewan agreement,'1 as until he did so, it could not be-said that the plaintiff had produced a purchaser'"ready, able and willing" to carry out his side of th'e transaction. A discussion arose as to what would be. tha effect of allowing the appeal, Mr. Moore pressing for immediate judgment and Mr. Lucas -urging���that-tliere-should-be-a-new- trial, when the Chief Justice reflected that, as the defendant had moved ���at the trial -for a non-suit, he must' be" taken lo have rested his chances of success. on the weakness of the plaintiff's case rather than on the strength of his own. He cannot, therefore, be heard to say that lie can take advantage of the appeal and .return to build up a case on what was shown on tlie'appeal. The court ���would, therefore, exercise its discretion and allow the appoal, giving judgment for the amount of commission claimed. Mr. H. W. K. Moore appeared for appellant; Mr. E. A.\ Lucas ari<| Mr. C. P. R, Pincott for respondent. GREENWOOD AND DISTRICT HOSPITAL The Board of Managers verv thank- fullr acknowledge receipt of'the following subscription's.

C. A. Dunning, lhe now. Minister oj.l.al'hvays. The Canadian Nalional Railways, and its predecessors in lho various separate lines which now constitute the National system, havo "for so long been, n. tinancal burden un'the Canadian tax payor, that it is a distinct relief to road ihu really splendid showing'of the system last year, and .lie furtlier betterments iilreaily reported for !H)2(*. .. ��� The .net Earnings of the Canadian National last your were nearly double tuose of 1-92-1, being ?22,2G-i.-ll4 as compared, with ?I7.'.M-1,25.L. . This substantial betterment was 'brought, about in two ways, by an increase of nearly feu million dollars In oper-unig'revenues, and a decrease of over Ave and one-: naif millions in operating expensbs. Net,earnings in 1925 were twelve times wliat they were in 1922. �� "* Supplementing this annual statement for-1025, Air. Dunning was able to.inform Parliament that for. the first four months -of. :I92G, net yearnings of the Canadian National amounted lo -,?9,(iS9,2l7, a record "for any similar, period in the history of the amalgamated system,'and the Minister, was therefore iu the happy position..of being able to say that '���given a reasonably good harvest and freedom from tratlic losses duo'to labor difliculties it may be .possible for the National Kail ways to pay this year their, "entire. Interest charges ��� - . - ��� ��� . _^r due the public." - ..." That is to say, if present conditions are main tained, and the promise ol the 192G crop realized, the-"Canadian people this year will not be called upon to make good any deficit out* of tuxes. t"For the first time, too, tlio Canadian Government ships, now operated by the Canadian "National management, showed an operating profit, during the iirst four months of 192G. The National Hallways are carrying cargoes'. to the ships, and the ships aro bringing tratlic to the railway, Sometimes operating betterments are shown by cutting down expenditures in-the provision of needed equipment and in; maintaining-a railway fully, up to standard. In the case of the-Canadian National, however, il is satisfactory to learn that this is not the case."

Writing Off the Debt Giving the Canadian National a Chance- To Pay Profits On Its Real Value If tho Canadian Natiomil can be brought to tlie point of paying Interest to tho bondholders out of its earnings, thero la much "to bo said for the suggestion that the government should write off at least some of the huge debt contalued in its, own account against the railways. It is true that this would be literally a matter ot bookkeeping. The debt "would remain. Tho account would be transferred to the national debt. But the moral effect would be salutary, and doubtless It would be rolled* ed lu a greater buoyancy of that intangible but vital psychology of business which counts for so much nowadays in the material prosperity of the nation. Mr. Dunnlug says it is questionable if any railway management "could make good the frantic borrowings which overwhelmed the .former ���owners." Thai, is the .real, point at Issue. "It ls not fair to charge- the railways with debts whicli are really the heritage-of a frenzied finance.; It would be better business to squeeze all tho water from the .National; to revaluate it op a--.physlcal basis; .-to give ,lt a chance to pay profits on its real value as a going concern; and to charge the water to those other "liabilities' of calamity," such as thc Avar debt, which have to bo paid, but which need not and should not' be liung as a millstone on the nock or any single Industry.���Vancouver Province".

'When the blood is thin and weak It fails''in this important function and nervous troubles follow. The following case will interest those who need a tonic for the blood and nerves. Mrs. IX Veno, Union Square, N.S., says:��� "With a feeling of gratitude I write to tell you what Dr. .Williams' Pink Pills did for me.

With the exception of very young children, tlie human family needs a variety of. other foods than milk for growth* as Avell as t'or repair of waste, . In Canada, wheat,- oats, corn and rico are the .cereal'grains ordinarily used; less commonly barley, rye, and buckwheat. Whether we use flies�� cracked, rolled, or coarsely ground, and call them "breakfast foods" or buy theiii as Hour or bread, let us see how far they go toward making ii good diet. In the first place they are a"good fuel as well as' a cheap food. 'We ��� can get more working force for our money from cereal grains than from any other kind of rood. For comparison, if you-measure the number of calories (fuel units) in a pound of beefsteak yoti would find it to be 950, a pound of raw potatoes would be 3(>9. On the other hand, a pound of any of our.^common" cereals' would' "average about 1700. The less money we hare to spend, the more we* need to depend upon cereals for our body fuel. y *'W ln the second place, cereals furnish material which will build and*" repair ���body tissue in uracil the same way as do meat, fish, eggs, cheese, etc. For instance whenwe have oatmeal for breakfast, Ave do not need meat too, and when Ave cook macaroni or rice with milk and cheese, it takes, the place of meat and potatoes. Indeed the combination of iri'ilk and cereals satisfies such a large part of our.hody needs tliat we require only, fresh fruit and vegetables and a moderate 'amount of meat, if you like, to make not only a,palatable, but a coiBpletely nutritious diet. -We eat-"a great deal of wheat in the form of bread, and to a lessor ertent iiu cake, cookies, doughnuts, etc. .Whole wheal flour is far superior to white flour as a food, but prob- ahly .-be.caiile_b.ii.e_._us_nally���associn.l-.RR. whiteness'-with purity, avb usually demand'white flour which is made from the inside of the wheat kernel. White flour also keeps better than whole wheat flour. Thus wo' lose the min-, eral content and the very valuable substance necessary for our growth known tit vitamin B which is-contained in the outer shell of "the wheat kernel. For this reason and for the reason Uiiit the grain covering serves as You/hake iii theintestines, 7 we should add bran to our diet eillitr with our breakfast cereals or cooked in the form..of bran muffins or in other tasty 'ways. What has been said in regard to the value of the whole wheat grain applies equally lo other cereals such as oatmeal, corn- meal, etc.: On May 1G two hundred-new Scottish settlers arrived on the Canadian Pacific liner "Metagama" in charge of Father R. A. MacDonnell, managing- director of the Scottish Immigration Aid Society. This is the second consignment of settlers brought out this year under the Clan Donald plan. The well-knoAvn comic strip artist, Clare Brig-gs, of "Mr. and Mrs." ��� fame, arrived in'Montreal recently with six N-gav York newspaper men.
