And Value or the Innd Owned By
the C.P.R.
The earnings on our Canadian
railways during '1913 amounted,
broadly, to $2130,000,000. Thede
figures ine2nde all the ettbsiclieny
lines, and other affiliations of what-
ever nebula; but ‚the figures are
remarkable. Thirty. years ago the
C.P.R., whioh now ehows gross an-
nual earnings of $140,000,0000,
could hardly buy axle grease. Its
25,000,000 acres of land were worth-
less, The land now sells at the rate
of from $5 to $35 per aces. Thal
worthless land in its totality repre-
oents cash value of nearly $350,-
000,000. The laude still to be sold
will realize $200,000,000. The coin-
rniesiener, winch the. London paper
of Lard Northcliffe's called Answers
sent out tei investigate conditions
in the Dominion, regrets in one of
his letters that the C.P.R. Should
have sold its land-ea:iv pant of it—
to speculators in lihe early days.
The oompany regrete-that policy to-
day itself; but at the moment there
did not seem any alternative. The
people could not be coaxed a the
time to settle in the wilderness;
and the eompany needed money;
and the big paneels weee parted
with—pareels which in their unoe-
cupied state axe the wonder of the

lands lie idle close to the railway.
Of (lounge, not an aere is sold now

thousands of children, deeLared two
well-known physicia,n.s hefoTo the
Pihiladelphia Pedriatie Society at
the College of Physicians. They
ware Dr. Alfred Hand, jr., of this
city, and Dr. Remy Dwight Cho.,
pin, of New York. Dr. Rand, at-
tending physician at the Ohildren's
Hospieelf declare& that it was due
to experiments upon animals that
the invalu.able blood 'test?, whereby
the presence of typhoid germs are
detsobed, was eleiscovered. He said
that through'. vivisection doctors
hope soon to eliminate the "svilibt3
plague" and had in fact discovered
a, way to care a large number of
oases of infantile spinal meningitis.
Dr. Chapin declared that "false
statements and hyeterical outpour-
ings of small but Vociferous oppon-
ents" had they beon of any -value
might have prevented the discovery
of the antitoxin which saves the
lives of three out, of every four

ain't been near the 'ouse since, and

of his youth, "mine's ft difficult

if the Ash is good 1 sells it, and does
pretty well. If it ain't good I sells
it, and does pretty well also. It
ain't mY fault. I never sent the
stuff wrong. But you're a pal o'
mine, -and let vou know 'ow you
own find out for yourself 'ow things

the other. So he cells down to the
big fellow and says—Look here,
Pat. How is it that little Micky

said that tipping had a deanoraliz-
