No ht.man constitution can stand the everlasting violation of Nature's laws, the laws of health. It can't stand verylong turning night into day. It can't stand very long constant drugging, or over -stimulation in its many forms, Such as is supplied by tea, -coffee, whiskey, cocktails, and other drugs. It can't stand irregularity in sleep- ing, eating, and recreation babits, It can't stand constant dissipation or excesses of any kind. It can't stand very long anything that works against mental harmony and welfare, such as thediscord or the. poisons that come from jealousy, hat- red, envy, fear, or worry. In other words the man who violates Nature's laws must pay the penalty though he sits on a throne. There are thousands of little ene. mies which are trying to down man, trying to get the upper hand of him, to keep him from doing the thing he bas set his heart on. If you allow these to get a grip on you and to sap your physical and men- tal forces, you cannot expect to a000ni- push anything very great. We know there is a tremendous loss in time and effort in trying to get good out of a poor machine, one that Is not kept in perfect condition, that has not been oiled or cleaned, and whose bear - Ings creak and beat from friction, Is 1t not foolish, then, for man to ex Peet to get satisfactory work from a fagged brain, from a body whose energy is depleted from loss of sleep, lack of exercise, proper food, or care? —Success.

During the summer a regular service to Maya is maintained by site White Pass and Yukon Route, collecting with the yulcon.River steamers. Keno hill, the important lniulttg centre of the dis- trict, is 42 miles northeast of Mayo. Practically all haulage between the mines and Mayo is done by sled in the winter, and ore shipments sire piled, at Mayo to await the opening of naviga- tion in the spring. The first lode mining its Mayo dis- tract was done in 1912-13 when the Sil- ver King deposit was opened. This property was 'worked continuously un- til 1917 when the ore shoot became ex- hausted xhausted and the property was closed. down. Exact figures of production are not available. During the Winter of 1914-15, 1,180 tons of ore were shipped Having an average content of 270 ounces per ton and 31 per cent lead. in 1916.16 tele tonnage shipped was much larger but the grade of the ore was not as high.

This amount does not include forest fire losses; it is made up of materials produe. ed from the natural resources of Canada and of goods paid for by the earnings of panadian labor. There is absolutely no re- turn for the amount, and only new construction and ttew manu- factures can take its place. An unfortunate phase of the fire loss last year was the largely increased proportion of farm fires, The premiums paid to in- turanee companies, last year on this class Of risk do not suffice to pay the losses, the actual loss being 127.70 per cent. Residen- tial losses in smaller commun- ities without tire protection am- ounted to 81.08 per cent. of premiums collected. It will be readily seen that no insurance company can carry on business on this basis. The public have the remedy in their own hands, however. Practically all such fires as the above are due to neglect or carelessness. Either this fire loss must be reduced or a higher insurance rate be paid. It would appear to be the cheap- er solution to stop this drain upon Canada's natural and cre- ated resources. • Royal Family Enjoy Good . Health.
