N, Johnston, Moorefield general merchant, was the victim of a very serious accident. Assisting Mr. Reg, Tompkins, butcher, in slaughter- ing a heavy beef, the beast, which must have become suddenly crazed, suddenly made a bolt for Mr. John- ston. It happened so fast that escape was impossible and the unfortunate merchant took the full force of the blow head on. He had three ribs broken in the region of the heart, teeth knocked out and bruises on the head, besides suffering nervous shock. The enraged animal trampled him and so seriously injured Mit. Johnston that when Dr. E. J, Wildfang first exam- bred him no trace of a pulse could be obtained.

EDMONTON JASPER VANCOUVER VICTORIA en undo I JASPER PARK LODGE TUNE 7s - AUGUST 31 MAKI LODGE JUNE Is — AUGUST-31 Die 'OBSERVE ANNIVERSARY OF CONFEDERATION Tho Wog and 42tleCtt, ttedelnpaidad by cabalist Nigh +"o l>tirlonw iflitr ent Mr t. acre *tow* tit thet lett Watt:tate& Abbey aftet *Odd+ 4itut *toito41 stoke oh 18th asibtvorstor of Canatliett tenfetlerat1014 0 0 0 0 0 8 0 0 0 0 0 have advanced in all-round quality to the point when they may now be plac- ed in the top ranks of processed foods. In the last war the dried vegetables served out with the rations were not very favourably received, and justifi- ably so, because at that time dried vegetables were just vegetables that had been dried, They were tough and tasteless; their vitamin value . was probably nil, and, if the vegetables had been kept for a year, only dire neces- sity compelled consumption. That has all been changed. Recently, a demonstration was given in Ottawa of dehydrated vegetables processed in Canadian factories • for and under the direction of the Agri- cultural Supplies Board. Carrots, turnips, cabbage, pickled beets, and potatoes (mashed, riced, French fried and pan fried) were served and the consensus was that they could not be distinguished from fresh-cooked vege- tables. Some of the persons whO tasted them maintained that the de- hydrated products were even better than home-cooked vegetables. In the process of dehydration the vegetables had lost but little of their original vitamin content and nutritive value. What. has happened to dehydrated vegetables is this. Formerly, they were just dried to a point where they appeared right, without much attention being paid to temperature and drying periods. Now they are first selected for varietal suitability and maturity fitness. They are then washed,' trim- med. and cut into the form in which they can best be pre-processed, dried, and dehydrated. Pre-processing con- sists of cooking the vegetables for an exact time in. steam !or water ,at an exact temperature. This cooking or blanch, is to preserve the character- istics of the vegetables, or in the lan- guage of the scientists "the blanch is for the purpose of inactivating the enzymes which would cause the des- truction of vitamins, colour, and flav- our, if allowed to remain active". Following this treatment, the blanched vegetables are spread on trays which 'are then stacked on trucks and rolled into the dehydrator, In the dehydrator, the vegetables on the trays are subjected to a blast of hot air until they have been dried to an exact moisture content, the velocity of the air-flow, the temperature, and the humidity being carefully control- led, Each species of vegetable requir- es a different treatment. Some will stand higher temperature, and others require higher humidity in the air, but all are dried as rapidly as possible to a final moisture content of from 4 to 7 per cent. After the dehydration process, the vegetables are immediately packed in- to metal containers and hertnetically sealed. In the case of sonic vege- tables, th'e air is exhausted from the sealed containers through small holes punched hr the covers and theair re- placed with an oxygen-free gas, such as nitrogen. The holes are then "Spotted" with solder to keep the gas in. A ton of potatoes (26 bags) makes 300 lb. of dehydrated potatoes which may be packed in 15 cans of 5 gal- lons capacity each. One hundred lb. of cabbage are reduced to six pounds which can be packed in a three gallon container. When required for use, the dehydrated vegetables merely have to be soaked in sufficient cold water for a few hours to "refresh them", follow- ing which they are cooked as fresh vegetables. In a country like Canada where there is an abundance of fresh and canned vegetables, dehydrated mater- ial is not normally required except in limited quantities for special markets. In time of war, however, dehydrated vegetables have a definite value .as emergency rations and ships' stores. The present demand is being catered to with high-quality products manu- factured under the watchful eye of officials and technicians of the Dom- inion Department of Agriculture.

CANADA'S NATIONAL HOT SPRINGS What causes hot springs to babble from the ground? This is a question that has long intrigued the layman, One explanation is that the water is moving from a place of higher pres- sure to one of lower pressure. The water of some hot springs is of sur- face origin. It gets into the ground or rocks in various ways, circulates over heated rock masses at some depth and finally escapes to the surface in the form of a hot spring. The water of other hot springs is considered by geologists to be of magmatic origin, That is to say, it is part of the magma or hot liquid'strata beneath the earth's crust, and, on teaching the surface, encounters the light of day for the first time. Hot mineral springs occur in three of Canada's national parks — Banff and jasper in Alberta, and Kootenay in British Columbia. Naturally such an important tourist attraction has re- ceived considerable attention, and as the fame of the curative properties of these hot springs has spread, a plan of development for their fullest use has been put into effect. At Banff, two public bath-houses have been constructed; one at Cave and Basin Springs situated in Banff townsite; and the other at Upper Hot Springs about two miles from- the centre of the town of Banff. At the Cave and Basin there are two out- door swimming pools fed by springs having a temperature of 92° F. Both of these health centres are equipped with showers, rest-rooms and other facilities for the comfort and enjoy- ment of visitors. The Cave and Basin pools are open from May until Sep- tember, but the Upper Hot Springs bath-house and pool are kept open the year round. The Radium Hot Springs in Koo- tenay National Park have a temper- ature of 114° F. and here too have been built a splendid bath-house and outdoor swimming pool open the year round. These springs are on the fam- ous Banff-Windermere Highway and are an important attraction to motor- ists travelling over this secenic route. The Miette Hot Springs in Jasper National Park have a temperature of 126° F. lint the water in.the pool is kept around 100° F. The bath-house here contains showers, a steam-room and plunge baths open to visitors dur- ing the summer season only. There are several hot springs in this group, but only three have been developed so far for public use. Miette Hot Springs as accessible by a good motor road and are only about an hour's drive from the town of Jasper. The existence of these hot springs and their medicinal value were well known to the Indians long before the first white man penetrated the great mountain barriers in the West. Early traders and trappers heard of them from the Indians and they too appar- ently found the waters to have cur- ative properties. It was the discovery of hot mineral springs at Banff, Al- berta which provided the inspiration for the establishment of Canada's pres- ent national parks system, The com- paratively small area of ten square miles around these hot springs, set aside for public use in 1885, was the beginning of a chain of national parks which now stretches from the Selkirk Mountains in British Columbia to the Atlantic seaboard of Nova Scotia. Whatever may cause hot springs to bubble out of the ground, Canada's IVational Hot Springs have long held a reputation for curative qualities, and are visited each year by great numbers seeking relief from various ailments to which, unfortunately, human, flesh II is heir, WINGHAM ADvANen-TIMES 0 a 0 0=0 0=0) 40=01 toi=for <0=0=0 The sale actually commences after the order is closed and the product has left your premises.
