While tills s ltuati0 n 13 no unpleesing to the Government and the dairy interests at large, it has brought about many perplexing problem In regard to the marketing of the surplus product. As the domea- tic market is somewhat limltod, ot• farts have been made to widen the foreign markets, especially in the. Eastern provinces and the United States. Sales in these markets; how- ever, were not as am:easeful as antiot- patod, and 1t was therefore decided to cultivate the English trade, With this end in view, trial ehip. silents of Alberta butter were made from Edmonton and Calgary to Van- couver and reshipped from there by steamer to the Old Country, via the Panama Canal, It was doubtful if the initial shipment would. arrive at its destination in good condition, but ad- vices front London were to the effect that the butter had arrived in an ex- cellent state of preservation and had been quickly disposed of on the Eng - Hell ell market. the public being favor- ably impressed with the splendid (Mality, color and taste. The success of thisinitial venture was very encouraging to the dairy In- terests of Alberta, who now began to see their way clear to disposing of all the butter Alberta could export, Fur- ther shipments were made, : and as 01 they also were favorably received, it was clearly seen that regular ship- ments of Alberta butter to the United Kingdom, vlo Vancouver and the Pan - ansa Canal, were not only feasible but profitable. High Standard of Quality. In order to foster the goodwill of this new maritet, it was necessary to assure the English dealers that the quality of the butter would always be kept at`the same high standard as the initial shipments and that there would be no letting up In the quantity available for export. As regards the quality of Alberta's butter, it may be said that it is of the highest and is rigidly inspected and graded by Gov- ernment experts. Although prizes for butter won by Albertan exhibitors in competition with other provinces of the Dominion do net necessarily im- ply that all the butter produced 1n the province is of the same high quality as the winning exhibit, the following results of various dairy butter com- petitions during the past few years are of interest: In 1922, the province won 2)9 out of 436 prizes offered, 64% of which were lints; in 1923, the pro- vince won 227 out of 452 prizes offer- ed, 62.8% of which were firsts. Estimated Production 18,000,000 lbs. In respect to production and quan- tity available for export the province Is in an exceptionally favorable posi- tion. Production has steadily in- creased frees year to year, and in 1923 totalled 17,750,000 lbs., representing the output of 75 creameries, as com- pared with 15,417,000 lbs.. In the pre- vious year. For 1924, it is estimated Production will total over 18,000,000 lbs. It is interesting to note that 68% of Alberta's butter output last year was produced in the territory north of Red Deer and the balance-32%south of that town. Whether or not the British market will solve Alberta's problem of dis- posing of the surplus, butter produc- tion 1s largely in the hands of,the ex- porters. It rests with them to see that the quality of the butter is al- ways maintained at a high standard are so re and that the shipments . gu gated as to ensure a steady supply. If this is done, there Is no reason why Alberta butter manufacturers should not always have a steady and profit- able market in Great Britain. They That Go Down to the Sea in Ships.

Those abusing the com- mon welfare are public nuisances and should be prosecuted as such. 'The vast majority of people are willing and editions to assist the Health Department in observing quar- antine laws, but there seem to be a few persons scattered throughout every district who have no health con- science—that is, they do not seem to realize the importance of any pre- ventive or quarantine measures to pre- vent or curtail the spread of commun- icable disease. Just recently I met a peculiar, but alas, all too common type of individual whose daughter had contracted scarlet fever. He was not at all willing to keep her isolated after the actual fever had passed away, his reason be- ing that she had got the disease from somebody else and somebody else again could get it from her. A most despic- able attitude, you will say and yet knowing that such people are about, can you wonder at the unsatisfactory results obtained sometimes even when the health authorities do their best to "They that go down to the sea in ships!"

A few days ago in a Michigan town two cases of scarlet fever were re- ported by a citizen. When the state medical inspector arrived on the scene he actually Sound six cases. This state of affairs showed a gross laxity on the part of somebody, and as a result an epidemic of scarlet fever is now threatening that district. The despatch states that the blame for the situation in this Michigan town can be traced to abject carelessness on the part of the local health officer. But for the efforts of a former health officer, the schools would probably have to close their doors. Quarantine has been very poorly observed in the municipality, and on one of the persons disregard- ing it, a fine of fifteen dollars has al- ready been imposed. It seems incon- ceivable that such vital things as health regulations should be disre- garded in this day and age. If ignor- ance is bliss, then bliss is short-lived if the ignorance concerns itself with health matters. World's Biggest Window Pane. The largest sheet of plate glass in existence Is to bo seen at the British Empire Exhibition. This mammoth window pane had an adventurous journey from Yorkshire to London. Being much too large for carriage by rail—for the sheet Mea- sures 14ft. by 2451.—it had to be trans- ported In an enormous lorry towed by a steam tractor. A special route had to be mapped out for the journey, and, many detours were necessary to avoid bridges too low for the giant crate in which the glass was packed. - The area of this immense pane is 336 square feet, and the handling of so large a sheet of glass at Wembley was no light task, in spite of the fact that special apparatus had been in- stalled for the purpose.

It is not a mere figure of speech to speak of the iron in man's blood. That is partly if not wholly responsible for the color of human blood and perhaps in come inexplicable way is the cource -or a source—of the superiority that the Mammalia possesses over lower forms of life, Professor Barcroft, an eminent English biologist, whose stud- ies in the coloring matter of blood have brought much fresh information to light, is quoted in the London Tinges as follows: Blood is not necessarily red. We cannot tell why it should not have been green. Indeed, among higher animals there are occasional speci- mens that tend in that direetien. S have seen, for Instance, a rat with brown blood. The cuttlefish has blue blood, or blood that is sometimes blue. Just as human blood changes its color each time it traverses the lungs, so that of the cuttlefish changes each tinge it is driven through the creature's gills. Our blood is purple when it reaches our lungs, red when it leaves them. Cuttlefish blood is colorless when it passes to the gills, blue when it leaves them. Again, there is a star- fish in the bleed of which you can see colors of the most diverse type— brown, purple, green, lemon yellow and Indigo blue. The brown becomes green when it loses its oxygen. These colors, owing to their power of carrying oxygen, enable an animal to grow large. Insects have no color in their blood, and they remain small. The mollusks singled out a blue pig- ment for their use—a'color dependent on the copper that it contained. These creatures reached their highest de- velopment in the massive, but almost mindless, cuttlefish. The higher ani- mals (vertebrates) chose iron -contain- ing colors and have become the higher types of creation. 3 Two Good Reasons. Pat is so fond of expressing his views on subjects of national import- ance that if he cannot get a listener It does not upset him at all, he just talks to himself. He was a gardener, and bis employ- er, at gnat, got very fed up with the man's conetant mutterings, and one day said to him: "Pat, doesn't it ever occur to you that your constant mutterings and talking to yourself are a great annoy- ance to other people? Why do you talk to yourself?" "Shure, sir," replied the Irishman, "I have two reasons for that" "What are your reasons?" "One of them," replied Pat, "is that I like to talk to 8 sensible man, and the other that 1 like to hear a sens- ible man talk."

TOO MANY HOME CBES One Reason Why so Many Wo- men Are Weak and Run -Down. The work of the woman in the home makes greater demands on her vitality than men realize, and there is always something more to do. No wonder women's .backs ache, and their nerves are worn out. No wonder why they get depressed and irritable, suffer from headaches, and always feel out of sorts. But of course all women are not like that. What is the difference? A woman with plenty of healthy red blood in her veins finds work in the home easy; her vitality is at par. This points the. way to health In women who feel run down and depressed.

Sunday School Day, which has just been observed by more than 30,000,000 scholars and teachers in England, is a celebration that contrasts with the humble beginnings of the movement. Sunday schools were formally found- ed by Robert Raikes, a Gloucester printer and publisher, who, In 1780, no- ticing some urchins playing in the street on a Sunday morning, collected a number of them and formed them into a class for private religious in- struction. His account ot the innovation, pub- lished in the Gloucester Journal, was copied by the Loudon press, and in this way the great Sunday school sys- tem was launched. A statue of Raikes is on the Thames embankment. But 1t Is wrong to credit him with being the sole originator ot the idea. The honor rightly• belongs to Hannah Bala of High Wycombe, who opened a Sunday class in 1769. in Great Britain and Ireland there are approximately 51,000 Sunday schools, 690,000 officers and teachers, Frankte's Reason. and 6,670,000 scholars -In all, 7,360,000 As Frankie stood beside his mother, persons.
