London, June 17. -An interesting experiment in navigation in the fog will be carried out by the Canadian _Northern steamer Royal George, whioh left Avonmouth for Quebec. She is fitted with an apparatus en- abling a vessel in tho thickest wea- ther, without the aid of compass of as' sextant, to ascertain her position when she is within a, radius of fifty miles of a fixed wireless station :Or a :wireless -fitted elaip whose position is known. It is also claimed for this apparatus that should the Royal George pick up a wireless distress sigoal she would be able to set her course towards its source, even though the distressed vessel were not able to indicate her posi- tion..

A despatch from London says : Lieutenant Gran, late of the Nor- wegian navy, and 11; member of Scott's Antarctic expedition, is planning to fly from Scotland to Norway, over more than 300 miles of the North Sea, in an ordinary Bleriot monoplane fitted with air eushions, which should keep the machine afloat for twenty-four hours if it. drops inte the sea. As the winds often die down in the evening Gran may fly at night. OIA) AT KNENTY Retain' of Youth with Proper Food. • Many persons who eat plenty ne- ver '2,e -era tO be properly nourished. That's because the food is not digested and absorbed. Much that is eaten is never taken up by •the • system as real food, and so the tis- sues simply starve and the indivi- dual may, as in a recent ease, look and feel old in what should be the bloom of life, youth. "At twenty I was prematurely old. The health and vigor and brightness of youth had been, as it seemed, stolen from me. , I went to work in the morning with slow ateDa and a dull head.

There is every reason, according, to geological and other experts, -for expecting that large areas in British Columbia, and Afealta as well as Alberta, will be found pro- ductive of oil in commercial quantities and conditions. The demand for petro- leuzn and its productS increases at a marvelous rate In almost all countries, and its importance to industry and transportation is now so universally re- cognized that it is looked upon as a na- tional resource of the utmost import- ance.

A hustler may be a, Jostler - that is, one whose Idea of hUstling is to push people aside and grab whatever there is in sight! There IS too much Of that kind of lrastirag.

The right lcind of hustling Is healthy, but the Wrong kind strains the nerves and wears out the muscles, If you must bustle, put on the brakes, Eat More, Vitra. Mr, McDougald, chairman of the Do- minion Government High Cost of Living Commission, recOnnnends a more ,exten- sive use of fish, as a partial Solution of the prOblem. This view is supported by a recent report made by the United States Bureau of Fisheries. Though it bas not succeeded in solving a distress- ing public problem, the bureau has col. 'acted some valuable information on the SUbJect of canned Salmon, information that will be of interest to all who eat salmon. In the first plaue the public is 0.0511 red that from a health standpoint salmon is more desirable than meat, be- cattse while meats are handled by many Persons and exposed in the market After September 3 the U.S. Govern- ment will begin collecting penalties for violations of that provision of the pure food and druga act which requires Trier- chantS to tell the Public the truth about the net weight contained in packages and bottles. Regulationa be.Ve just been formulated by the department of agri- culture, the delay being due to the fact that the amendment when passed, de- ferred the collection of penalties until the date above named. In future any liquid or solid shipped In Interstate commerce must be in packageS which tell the truth about the quantity of their contents. The packages must be plainly marked, bottles or other con- tainers holding more than two cameos a,voirdupOis. 'or more than ono fluid ounoe, must state the net weight or vol- ume of the contents. The measure must be Stated in pounds and ounces, gallon% quarts, rants or firad ounces, United States standard bUshels, half bushels, necks, quarts, pints or half pints. The contents may be expressed in terms of metric weight or measUre if the dealer so prefers. The qUantity stated on the Corattiner must represent the actual quantity of food exclusive of wrappings and container, Which means that the Consumer will get What he pays for and pay for what he gets; and that Is a con- siderable difference from what heluta been used to in the vast. 5.

England, says: The North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Willielm which left Southampton shortly af- ter noon on Wednesday, bound for New York with a thousand passen- gers, lies at anchor off NettleY, three miles to the southeast, with a big hole it her side amidships, caused by a collision withthe Liver- pool grain .steamer Incemore, bound, feom a Black Sea port to Antwerp. The Ineernore, a much smaller craft than the German steamer, of„. -3,000 odd tons, is in dock here with her bows badly sroathed. The collision occurred in the English Channel, thirteen miles south of the Nab lightship, in a dense fog. Jost how at oceurred, and on which vessel lies the respon- sibility, cannot be ,ascertained ab the present time. The officers of the Kaiser Wilhelm II, have per- mitted no communietttion to be held with anyone on board, and they themselves have refused Co give out any information whatever. Such scant details as have been obtained came from the incemore, That yes - ids A is stated by flog aboa:rd, hard virtually come to a stop be- cause of the danger of continuing under way in such a thick fog, when eu.cidenly there loomed up just ahead of her the huge bulk of the Kaiser Wilhelm II. Both captains did their' beg to avoid a collision, but the ;short dis- tance separating the two vessels rendered their efforts ineffeetual, and the Ineernore styli& the liner on the starboard side amidships. The force a the impact crumpled up her 'own bows and tore a big gap in the Kaiser Wilhelm's side. lt was the impression of those aboard the Incemore that the hole was en- tirely above the water -line. Tiie two steamers stood by each other until it was ascertained that neither needed immediate assistance ; then both started •sJowly for Southamp- ton, The furcpcak of the Incemore ra- pidly filled with water, but the stout bullthearl confined it there, and, although 00 In 1.1.011 down by the bows that the propellor was half out of the water, she mauaged to crawl into port, There it was found that the dantage to the bows ex- tended for A length of twelve feet and a.. width of ten feet.
