A despatch from 'Nelson, 13,0., says.--eSi'nee the increase in freight rates granted by the Dominion Board of• Railway Cornmiseioners this mantle there has-been almost a total oessatian of orders for Limber from the Western Prttiryo PeeVineeee This was the evi, donee• given unanimously by the vari- ous representatives of the Mountain Lumber eineufaeturers' Association, who appeared before the. Tariff Com- mission stere Thursday morning, and, ,though tie natter was not pressed, it was made evident that this is the elnet reason why time exists now a de- pression in tho business done by the monntain mills, causing many of them to be shutdown; What business they ,do they are doing ata good profit from stock al- ready manufactured, but they claim that up to the last year or two business was either carried on at a -very narrow margin or at a loss. All of them felt keenly the ebarges given' great currency, that they have been profiteering out of the necessaries of the farmer and the prairie dweller, claiming that there was a great dis- crepancy between the prices charged by them and the prices alleged by the farmers to have been paid to the re- tailer. In making their request that the tariff of 25 per: cent, now applied. to lumber products mentios?ed in Can- adian customs tariff item Nos, 505 and 506 should be placed .an all importa- tions of soft wood lumber, such as the mountain drills produce and now enter- ing Canada duty free, every witness contended• that the million and a half inhabitants of the Prairie Provinces should be made 'by means of duties to buy their lumber from the mountain', mills. Of their product 85 per cent.' is rough lumber of the low-grade vale iety most indemand' an the prairies. As a Man Believeth. If you believe that Friday is an un- lucky day to begin things, if you bo- 'l;eve that Friday, the 13th, is still worse; if you believe it portends ill to see the new mobil over your left shoulder, or for thirteen to sit at table; if you dread to occupy a room onthe thirteenth floor of an hotel; if you art convinced that all these things' have an ominous influence and that in defying thorn you are going to bring about dire results, such will probably be the case. The setter's superstitions regarding a hoodoo ship are real to him because he thinks they are, and consequently he does not take the same precautions for safety and protection which he would but for his belief , that same danger will comp to the ship which nothing could ward off, This is the way our superstitions affect us. The fatalist floes not snake the sante effort to do what he attempts as do others: IIe thinks that everything is foreordained, prearranged, and that 'nothing he could do would change .the results; that if he is going to be killed in battle he .will he, or If he is going to be killed in a railroad wreak he will .be, that nothing he can do will change the event. It is our belief in tae evil inherent in certain things that tends to -bring the evil to us, not the things them- selves. You know perfectly well that •certatn`n markings arranged in. the shdpo of the figure 13 have no power over anybody; it is only in our im- agination that they are ominous. The power of evil is in our belief in it. _cads New Brunswltik Opposition. Hon, John B. M. Baxter, who has been appointed to succeed Hen. J. A. Mur- ray, recently resigned. Ile has been chosen as one of the Opposition' candi- dates for the County of St. John, Why Glass Is. So Brittle. The brittleness of glass is due to the quibis cooling of the hot substance, It 'is known that constant motion tends' to 'rearrange the molecules in any substance, and similar effect is ob- served when glass is boiled in a weak soliition of salt in water and permitted to cool gradually. The toughness of the glass is increased very much and the effect of quick heating is less dis- astrous to it. This is easily applied to articles such as glass tubes for lighting purposes, aid prevents much breakage. CANADA BUYS LARGELY FROM UNITED STATES Exports 0 n 1 y $46,500,000 and Im worts $80,000,000. 'A despatch from Ottawa says;—Ne meson for expecting substantial itn- prevenient in exchange between Can- 'oda and the .United 'Seethe in the near ;future is held out by preliminary figures of the Do itinipn's trade in August, just made pubine, Canadians during that month bought in the 'United States to the extent of Pearly eighty-six million 'doper's, es .compared with sixty-two and a half millions in August, 1919, They exported to the United States goods to the value of forty-six antra hall millimie, .s com- pared with $40,259,000 in August, 1919. The balance against Canada in trade with the United States was time thirty-nine million dollars in August, 1920, as compared with twenty-two miinona hi August, 1919. In spite of adverse exchange rates ,thus Can- adians have materially increased their purais ties in the United States and tended to aggravate the. condition, causing to, of the Canadian dollar south of the International boun- dary line. In trade with Great Britain Canada still enjoys a favorable bal- ance. That balance, however, in-Aug- ust nAug-ust was only about eleven and a quar- ter million dollars, as compared with forty-four and three-quarter millions in the same month last year.

England, having purchased a two-thirds interest in the Gulf Pulp and Paper Co. at Clark City, below Quebec City, Fol- lowing their purchase, the Northcliffe interests have formed the Imperial Paper Mills Limited. The remaining one-third of the interest in the com- pany is being purchased by other Lon- don people who are interested in the purchase of paper. St. John, N,B, T.he Dominion Iron and Steel Company are now turning out cement at their new plant, and lit is the intention of the management to augment the present output until it reaches a capacity of 75 barrels per day, Halifax, N.S.—Thousands of settlers will conte to the Dominion from the New England States, New York and adjacent territories during the, next few years, according to L. S. Bellefon- taine. of Taunton, Mass.who is look- ing over Nova Scotia with a view to locating parties here next spring. A large portion of those whom he pre- dicts will come to Canada are either former Canadians who left here for New England or descendants of Can- adians attracted in the last quarter of the nineteenth century by the tre- mendous industrial booed in that sec- tor. Mr. Belle£ontaine predicted as great an emigration from the eastern as from the western states, greatly in favor of Canada doubtless operated both to increase imports from Britain and to:decre'ase extorts. "REDS" AID BRITISH MINERS' STRIKE Gold Poured Into Enland and Wales by Bolshevists. A despatch from Copenhagen says;—Bolshevist gold was poured into the coal mining districts of Eng- land and Wales 'to bring about the threatened coal strike. This fact was disclosed in documents left behind when Litvinoff was forced to leave Denmark for Norway. The authorities are investigating the circumstances. His. records also show that a num- ber of extreneist papers in various countries, and trade unions, are res ceiving gold subsidies monthly. Two Copenhagen unions are receiving 50,-- 000 lcroners annually. The documents reveal that in order to provideefunds for bringing in Western European newspapers, Lenin ordered every Russian citizen to re- linquish all his or her jewels. During September a systematic search was made of all bourgeois houses and all jewels found were confiscated. Your Place in Life's Plan. Have you ever considered your place in life's plan Should be larger than that which you fill, Or !rave' you unwittingly just settled down In the grip o'f-your grind and your grill? Perhaps you have thought that you had no great show, That the "plums" to the other men fell, Nor recksaed that greatness of spirit and pluck And energy always will tell. If you are ambitious to win in life's, race, Think not of your ease or your rest; The things, that count most will come only to those • Who enter the contest with zeal, 'Tis not just the hours for which you draw pay In which your best work will be done; The uses you drake of the leisure you have Count most in the race which you run, Then tighten your belt and take on a new stride— He loses who falters and shirks; Make much of the hours•, as they came to your hend— i•Ie wins who both wllleth and works. —Fred ScottShepard.

For ages 11 lute always prevailed where large nombero of people• were congregated, espeoial- tY when poverty, Misery 'and"•starva- tion wore also present, The preference of the disease for crowded places is indicated by the inunes It formerly bore -•jail fever, ship fever, camp fever, hospital fever, Its eotentf Io inure is derived from a Greek wore. drat means stupor; the 'name Is significant beoanse stupor is and oC ti most characteristic symp- toms of rho ci'lsoaso, Typhoid fever, a name that suggests a disease rese'mbliug typhus fever, Is an entirely distinct disease. Typhus' is an acute infectious dis- case that is tho,result of the action of a 5900101 germ, the Identity of which is believed to have been established by an American physician. It prevails especially in northern climates during the whiter, when people aro orpweed tdgether indoors, wind it is very rare. in the tropics, except in elevated re- gione. where the climate is like that of the Temperate Gone. The disease usually begins suddenly with chills and high fever, pain in the head and in the baok, which. extends down into the arm's and legs: The strength of the 'patient falls rapedly,'and delirium sets ie. early; the eyes are suffused, the face is unshed, the mouth is dry, and the tongue is heavily coated with a brownish fur. About the fourth day an eruption appears in the form of spots on the skin of the abdomen, chest and back, at first pinkish in col- or, but soon becoming dusky and livid. Bronchitis is present, as is shown by cough and more or less profuse expec- toration streaked with blood. The patient is greatly prostrated, mentally and physically, lying limp In the bed in a deep 'stupor; occasionally this is preceded or fotlowed`by wild delirium. The disease is very serious, and death occurs in fifty per cent. of those at- tached in some epidemics. Usually, however, it is not more than fifteen or twenty per cent. There is a mild form, sometimes ailed Brill's disease, in which the. symptoms are alight and the outcome is usually favorable. Both forms are probably dee to the same germ, which is carried from the sites to the well by vermin, -body lice and ,perhaps also bedbugs—so that the prevention of the disease is simple, though often it is very difficult when large numbers of virmin-infested persons are thrown together. Treatmeut coneis•ts of isola- tion in the open air and careful nurs- ing. A vaccine leas been made from. the supposed germ, but its efficacy is not yet established. Dust is Dangerous. Dust explosions have caused the destruction of millions of dollars' worth of property in grain. and cereal plants, flour mills, sugar refineries and elevators, besides great loss of life, A dust explosion is very similar to a gas explosion except that the par-, tide et dust are a little bit larger than the gas particles. The finer the dust the more easily it is ignited and the more disastrous the explosion. A pile of dust in a room or a sack or barrel of hour, of any finely pul- verized carbonaceous material, will not explode so long as it stays in the pile or sack. It mast be in suspension, as a cloud in' the air; and like gas, there must be a proper mixture of dust and ail' and a spark or flame pre- sent which has sufficient heat to ignite the dust before an explosion can 00 - cur, Cleanliness is the first precaution. Mechanical deet collectors are essen- tial where processes• generate fine dust, such as starch, flour, coal, cork, sawdust, grain. dust and powdered sugar. Cleanliness means—nothing to explode.

Washdngten sayer--Price-eet'ting has taken hold of the wholesale trade in the United States to en extent that soon must be felt substantially in lower prices to consumers, according to ' The, Federal Reserve Board's monthly thuseness re- view. Revival of the weve'el price re- duetlion 'and itis spread to many retail lines was .attributed to "'t mere exact- ing demand by the buying public as to price and quality." Retail purchasers aro showing continued determination to await a move by deiulers -to meet these demands, while foregoing lux- uries and seani,luxuries, reports to the board deelarocl. Although the board believed the buying public was largely dominating the market now, it said that labor and production were having a marked ef- fect on prices. There was much evi- dence, it said, of increased ,effieieney on the part of labor, and as 0 result production was on the increase and factory operation beginning to ap- proach normal. Summed up, the board's findings were that "business conditions are now definitely on the road toward stability of as great and confirmed a nature as the diisturbed position of the world at large permits." Something Will Colne Up. Millions of young people are waiting right now, and older ones too, for Something to. turn up which will bet- ter their condition in life. They hove an• idea that, somehow, something will occur to change things to their advantage, if they have Patience and wait long enough, even if they do not make a supreme effort. Now, my friend, there is nothng that will turn up unless somebody turns it up, Tho farmer might as well say,' looking out over his field, and without making any attempt to plow, or ,cultivate, or plant, or cow, "I be- lieve that this soil will give me some- thing this fall; I can depend upon some kind of a harvest." We know that the soil will give tho farmer noth- ing unless he gives it something first, If - you are deluding yourself with the belief that, somehow something will turn up to improve your condition without any effort on your part; you are making' £i, great mistake, and los- ing precious time. No harvest will come to you except that which comes from your own sowing, and it will de- pend upon the seed' you use and how you cultivate the soil. The better seed you plant, the better you culti- vate the soil, the better harvest you will reap. Those Who Dare Not Smile.. The ludicrous has its. place in the universe; it is not a human invention, but one of the divine ideas, Illustrated In the practoal josses• of kittens and monkeys long before Aristophanes or Shakespeare. Haw curious it 1s that we always consider solemnity and the absence of all gay surprises and em counter of wits as essential to the idea of the future life of those whom we thus deprive of half oe their faculties, and then call Blessed. There are not a few who, even in this life, seem to be preparing themselves for that smilelese eternity to which they look forward, by banishing all gaiety from their hearts and all joyousness from their-contten'anee. I meet one such in the streets not infrequently, a per- son of intelligence and education, but who gives me (and all that 11e passes) such a rayless and chilling look of re- cognition—something as if he were one of Heaven's essese•ors, come down to "doom" every acquaintance he met —that I have sometimes begun to sneeze on the spot, and gone home with a violent cold, dating from that Instant. I don't doubt he would cut his kitten's' tall off, if he caught her playing with it.—Holmes. Inadequate Fire -Fighting Equipment. There is still much to be done in the way of organizing Fire Companies throughout the province. The lack of a properly trained fire- fighting organization with the neces- sary apparatus and equipment is a serious menace to any community, The Fire Marshal's Office recently received a communication from a Municipal Official stating: "We have no Chief at present. The Engineer of the engine is pald $50 a year to have it in order, and the Constable has charge of the rest of the fire apparat- us,. The fire -company has always been voluntary and more or less difficult to keep together. The Council have the matter under consideration," Mayors, Reeves. and 'Councils fre- quently do not realize the resp'dnsibill- ty that rests' on them as representa- ttves of the, people. To safeguard and protect from fire the lives and pro- perty of the citizens is paramount. To protect large industrial institutions on which the growth and prosperity of a commmility dapendg is simply ordinary common sense.

Timber to Burn, Yet Prices Go Sky High. Two-thirds of Canada's forests have been destroyed by fire In the last sev- enty-five ewenty-five years, according to figures of the Farestry Department, The amount of timber burned would have supplied the world for 450 years at the preaent rate of consumption and represents ri loss of a billion dollars, Canada still has 1,900,000 square miles of forests., the forests of Brltlsh Columbia constituting one of the two greatest tracts of commercial timber in the world, the other being in Rus- sia, Forest fires in this country are de- signated by Col. W. B. Greeley, For- ester, as "the chief cause of forest de- vastation," and he lieges most etn phatioally the immediate need of a nation-wide drive against the forest fire. Not only have great forest fires vise• ited this country since the landing of Columbus, but large tracts were swept Olean of timber before a white man ever used an axe ..ere.

W. B. Greeley, For- ester, as "the chief cause of forest de- vastation," and he lieges most etn phatioally the immediate need of a nation-wide drive against the forest fire.

An eminent scientist and historian, according 'to the American Lumberman, states that if the discovery of America had been postponed five eenturdea the discover - els would have lauded en a treeless continent.
