Saskatchewan farmers are de- pending every year upon mechanical 'conirlvances to a greater extent. Stewart Moore, a Wtnuipeg pros- pector, has rediscovered a rich dor posit of mica in the, district adjacent to Point du Bois, Man., and staked a fifty-two acre claim. The mica i$ 'tr•aoeable for fifteen hundred feet in length and several largo blocks have already been taken out. .. small crew is now working on the deposit. A large deposit of 'sodium sulphate has been discovered on Baxter Lake, east of Wainwright, Alberta. From analysis it appears that the lake it- self is strongly impregnated with this chemical, while a test made at the, lalr,e's- edge gave thirty-two per cent, °sodium carbonate and thirty per cent, each of sodium chloride and sodium' sulphate. 'Acompany has been 'de- -Taloned to exploit the find. The Saskatchewan Grain Growers' Association reports a heavy demand for binder twine, one local branch, which ordered 24,000;pouncla• last year, having requested 70,000. pounds • this year. Canada imported from the United States last year 34,641,000 pounds of twine. A t?t'al of 7,110 persons entered Western Canada from the United States during the six months ending .Jun,;30, 1921. They brought with them l ersonal wealth to the value of .$2,44V404, and effects worth $702,453. Out of the total number of immigrants ,2,600 gave their occupation as agri- oouituris•ts and will engage in farming on the prairies. Of the total, 4,893 'were United States citizens, while the 'balance of 2,218 wore composed of •Britishers, Frenchmen, Canadians and Bcandinavitins. Development work, is being carried on at the Sinclair asbestos property in 13anockburn township, Matachewan district. Samples of first class asbes- tos hive been brought out from the property and arrangements have been made to bring out a carload of "crude." Owing to transportation difficulties -only the better grade of fibre is being considered at present. As No. 1 crude brings over $1,500 per ton, transporta- tion on this class 'of material is not _prohibitive. The new light railway which is now in the course of con- struction in Northern Ontario will aid development to a great extent. • Under Deep Blue Skies. The sky at great elevations is of a richer, deeper blue color than any thing we experience down at sea -level. When the philosophical. De Saussure made his famous accent of Mont Blanc towards the end of the eighteenth cen- tury, he experimented. in a, -singularly interesting way on this phenorneiion. Before he left Geneva he prepared some sheets of paper of sixteen gradu- ated shades of blue, from the deepest color to the palest tint, and these he numbered from .one to sixteen. Three sets of papers " were made. One he left at Geneva, the second at Charuouni,'and the third he foot to the summit. The result was as follows: On the top of Mont Blanc the sky at noon was between the first and second tint —that is, the deepest "bleu de rel"; at Geneva it was of the seventh tint,: and at Charnount between the fifth and sixth,. Thusfrom the summit of Mout Blanc the ,sky was of a deeper blue than it was below. One can hardly imagine what it mustbe like in that respect on the top of Mount'Everest. The explanation of this intense blue fleas is that the smaller the particles in the atmosphere the less strong the dight, butf'the greater proportion of that is blue. Near the horizon at lower altitudes the rlry lacks that rich blue tint, be rause the particles in the atmosphere which scatter the light are larger, and there are more of them proportionate- ly. Mount Everest's peak rises into an atmosphere' which must be as pure as te rich in' color. =; Swift Boy From the. Country.

HEALTH EDUCATION BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON Provincial Board of Health, Ontario Dr. Middleton will be glad to answer questions on Public Health mat- ters through this column. Address him at the, Parliament Bldgs, Toronto. e There are reasonable and scientific, grounds for the relief that during re- cent years the average span of life is lengthening—that is, that people on. the whole are living longer. than form- erly. To Public Health activity, in- cluding the control of communicable' disease and generally improved sani- tation and observance of public health principles, this . increasing longevity is chiefly due. Because, counteracting these reforms are the stress and strain of modern conditions with resulting wear and tear on the human system which 'leave during the past quarter century reduced the average lifetime to 55 years or thereabouts, instead• of the alloted three score and 'ten. An old saying, with a grain of truth in it, is that a man is as old as he feels, and there is no reason why he should not at 60 or" 70, provided his general health is good, be engaged at useful work without 'being a burden to anyone. •causes u There are many leading p to' early or premature death that could be largely eliminated if health habits were formed in earlylife and more observance made of the quarantine and control' of communicable diseases. To illustrate this' latter point, take the case of heart disease, which causes an enormous number of deaths in this country every year. What makes the heart diseased and unable to properly carry on its function? There are many causes, but a very important one is poisoning of the heart tissue by germs of communicable disease. � "'Scarlet fever, measles, smallpox, whooping cough, acute pneumonia, rheumatism are among the diseases that affect the heart 'and prepare the way for 'sudden or premature Beath in years to comer Then there is mal- nutrition, and aenenl3a, where the v heart, through its efforts to pump enough of theweakened blood through the system to keep the body strength to normal, is strained or overexerted. One can readily see how an increas- ed vigilance both on the part of Pub- lic Health officials and the general public, can curtail the spread of com- municable disease and thereby' pre- vent weakening or injury to the heart, especially in young people who are more susceptible to infectious disease than adults. In fact, there isa not- iceable low rate of deaths from heart disease reported in localities not, visit- ed by communicable diseases or where protective and quarantine measures. are enforced for the prevention or spread of any outbreaks. Child mor- tality, however, results from many other causes outside that due to organic changes of the heart due to infection. One very noticeable and regrettable of these causes is the motor -car. In Toronto alone, there: have been four or five fatalities within the past few days due to children be- ing run down by automobiles. In. some instances, of course, the driver is not, to blame, but generally speaking, a careful man or woman at the wheel seldom meets with an accident, If so, it is the exception and probably only occurs once. Newspaper readers were interested last week in a des- patch from England stating that a motor -car driver was given one year's imprisonment for running . over a child with fatal results. There are many eases in Canada that could be thus summarily dealt` with to advan— tage, and it would have the result of making our streets safer for pedes- trians. Fatalities to children as the result . of automobile accidents must Pc stopped, and to this and the recent recommendations of a T rsnto cor- itS �+rood builds strength • iximu.n nourishment with no burden to the dp- gesta®n; is secured.• From that I'ar•4 us food — Crape :Nuts.

Popular sympathy is nearly always with the injured child, but when youngsters are allowed to play indis- criminately on the streets it is prac- tically impossible to lay the blame entirely to the motor driver. It should be made a criminal offence to allow children under six on a city street without a parent or guardian. Chil- dren, however, must play, and. the school playground ° seems • the most suitable recreation place for them in 'large cities. Arrangements might he made to have vacant lots or. institu- tional grounds set apart for children to play in. To prevent damage to pro- perty extra caretakers wouldof course be necessary, but reforms and precau- tions of this nature are of such vital importance that the question of ex- pense should not be allowed to enter especially when • human life is at stake. Then, of course, there are avoidable accidents in industry due to lack of protection for the worker at. his trade, and often to carelessness on the part of the worker himself. Add to this . the appalling list of deaths of children resulting from im- proper feeding 'in childhood' and some idea is given of the tremendous 'but preventable infant mortality amongst us every year. KEEP CIILD_ . WELL I i I DURING DoT INI;��I I�cR Every mother knows how fatal the hot summer months are to small child- ren. Cholera infantum, diarrhoea, dysentry, colic and stomach troubles are rife at thistimeand often a pre- cious little life is lost after only a few hours' illness. The mother who keeps Baby's Own Tablets in the house feels safe. The occasional use of the Tab- lets prevent " stomach and bowel troubles, or ifthe trouble comes sud- denly—as it generally does—the Tab- lets will bring the baby safely through.

Oriental countries, having awaken- ed within very recent years to the worthwhileness of advertising, have adopted methods of their own which are rather odd and picturesque. In particular they go in for street processions, Enterprising advertisers in Chinese and Japanese cities argon• ire parades, with'banners and strange devices, such as dragons and other monsters, carried by men or on wag - Gag. This is real jazz as applied to pub - Betty work. 'We have nothing equal to it in its way. In the Philippines similar methods aro pursued. Not long ago, in Manila, to advertise a new cigar, there" was a very striking pro- cession in which gigantic walking cigars took part, accompaniedby men carrying huge placards lettered in Eng- lish and Spanish, extolling the pro- duct and inviting the public to try it.

To'say they are egotistical is putting it so mildly as to be complimentary. They have such confidence in their own powers that one cannot interest them in a propositionwhich does not entail miraculous accomplishment. They really believe that they can- verlr miracles: So when a gang of fellows goes parading by bearing their miracles with them, the Kiwanis Club blinks its eyes, stares, wonders, and then, as if seized by one common impulse, falls in behind to do what it can, as tickled as a boy carrying water for the ele- phant at the circus. It's hard to food men. But you can't fool boys• at all. And when men real- ize the work of the Boy Scouts, they are not being fooled. Neither are the boys who compose the Boy Scouts. They; get training, mentally and physically, and if there are any other ways they get them too -real down,- right ownright valuable stuff, that makes men out of them. And they like it, just as our boys who entered the army liked the intensive training that was handed out to them by their superior officers: The Scouts have made good in spite of the ridicule which was heaped up- on them only a few years ago, when their elders first heard of them. The police and the rest of us laughed at the idea of having Boy Scouts help handle big crowds. But nowle-why, they are the first ones we turn to when something big and difficult has to be done. That is the reason why the IIiwanis Club Is far the Boy Scouts. Their books lives are openby virtue of the honesty which they are taught. They preach better sermons than the rest I of us usually here -right in the lives which they lead. They make better mouse -traps than the rest of us—and in the woods—and our happiest hours are spent in our pilgrimages to them. They have done much. They have dared much.

But a bluff old' English farmer was gaud for 'hint • "Happen, maister, said the old man, "ye have never seen as many as a hun- dred chickens hatched by one hen at a setting?" "Waal," answered the American, `1 can't say that I have, but—" "Well, then, listen here, maister; happen I have," returned the farmer.
