This shows that in the lest fiscal year a total of 3,843 home- stead entries were made in Western Canada, 1,699 being in Saskatchewan, 1,326 in Alberta, 632 in Manitoba and 186 in British Columbia. A homestead consists of a quarter section of 160 acres -of land, so that this method of land acquisition alone in the past year resulted in the settlement on 614,800 acres.

In addition,' ditional 113,600 -acres, bringing the new homestead districts are being total settlement upon free Government made available by survey each year. land in Western Canada up to 728,480 Another agency=a non-profit, purely acres. This is not a bad • showing in service organization — which brings view of the state of ,immigration in that year and the reputed apathy'to- ._wards land settlement. Approximately 100,000 acres were homesteaded in Western Canada in the first three months of the present -- year with 620 persons filing. A total of 286 filed in Saskatchewan, 227 in. Alberta, 80 in Manitoba, and 27 in Bri- tish Columbia. In addition, in the first quarter of the year one hundred soldier grants were taken up, repro - senting settlement on 7,000 acres. It is gratifying to find that the Eng- Iish-speairing races continue to pre- serve their majority in Western Cana- dian land settlement. Though nearly thirty nationalities are represented in these homestead ' filings last. year, Canadians led with 1,277 -entries, fol- lowed by citizens of the United States with 639 and then those from the Bri- tish Isles with 676., These three class- es accounted for nearly 70 per cent of the total registrations. • More than land • owners and prospective farmer purchasers into touch with each other, is the Canada Colonization Associa- tion, with headquarters at Winnipeg, which last year located settlers, to their apparentsatisfaction, on farms comprising nearly 90,000 acres, and already this year give indication of ex- ceeding. the record. of 1924. . Whilst the conveniently located- sup- ply of homestead land in Western Canada is dwindling!, and increasing settlement is elevating land values, yet prices of farm lauds, tire, in view of their productivity, lower than simi- lar lands located anywhere else on the American continent. The average value of the occupied farm lands, in- cluding both improved and unimproved land, as well as houses, barns, stables and other farm buildings, was return- ed 'by the Federal by the Federal Gov- ernment for the year 1924 as $23 per acre for Manitoba, $24 per acre for Saskatchewan, and $25 for Alberta. one illness which left me very anaemic.

Fame comes suddenly to few men;: but it came to Sir Rider Haggard In a single night. From the moment of the publication of "King Solomon's Mines," the name of this popular writer, whose death` recently came as. a great shock to his countless ad- mirers, was a household word all over Britain. ' Sir Rider wrote "King Solomon's Mines" as the result of a five shillings bet. " His, brother had just finished "Treasure Island," then a new book, and declared it was the finest thing he lied ever read. Rider bet him five shill- ings he would write a book that mould sell as well. • • His brother laughed, but Rider was in earnest. He started work at once, and presently finished his book. He spent much time in these days travel- ling between London and Norwich, and the story was written in the train. One of the big scenes in "King Solo- mon's Mines" was inspired -by a. mem- ory of his school days. A private tutor, to whom he went when he was nine years old, always wore a ring, .which, he told Rider, had been taken from the finger of a peruvian mummy. This mummy had been found in a mound 'sepulchre in the land of the Incas, and as the discoverer touched the ring the whole mummy crumbled into dust. , Some time after "King Solomon's Mines" had been written, the novelist was able to secure this' wonderful old ring, and presented it to the British Museum. A Word to Parents. The main purpose of all educational effort is to train the future manhood of the nation that it may discharge the duties of citizenship intelligently. That is the chief idea behind the Boy Scout Movement—to instill into the youth the principles of right thinking, and right behavior, so that when the boy becomes a man he will be in a better position to fight the battles of life, and to teach others along the same, Iines. Parents need have no hesitation in urging their boys tri"iein the Boy Scout organization. In it the boys will get a training that will show itself and prove its worth-whileness in later years. Talk this over with the local Scoutmaster, or write to Provincial Headquarters, The Boy Scouts Associa- tion, Bloor and Sherbourne Streets, Toronto, for particulars. - H. J.

Few People Brush Teeth Properly, Says Dentist. Few people who mako daily us of a toothbrush have the right conception of its operation, Dr. Paul R. Stillman told the Dental Nurses' Alumnae As- sociation when he addressed. them in University College, Toronto, recently. The primary aim of cleaning the teeth, the speaker stated, was not simply to whiten them, but to produce good health. If incorrectly used, he said, the toothbrush might only serve to harm the teeth. What the teeth and gums needed was proper exercise to produce the re- quired flow of blood to the gums, and to prevent congestion. Where the toothbrush had been used previously as .a scrubbing brush, the new idea was to use it like a paint brush. The old idea had been to clean the teeth only, the new plan wee, to give the - teeth and gums adequate exercise. To use a toothbrush simply to clean the teeth was only to make a gesture 'to- ward the mouth that wasof little prac- tical value. It might make the teeth' clean, but did not produce health. On the correct manner of brushing the teeth, Dr. Stillman gave the fon lowing practical instructions: Bristlesat an angle of 46 degrees. A sidewise pressiu'e causing the bris- tles to blend slightly. No friction, as friction pauses irritation. MI the sur- faces of the teeth, and the gums are to be brushed and the pro.Cess to be re 'peated oder the entire mouth. you How to Answer an ,Anony». mous Letter.
