It has been declded'ihereiore to ship' the animals in large numbers from the buffalo park at Wainwright, Alberta, to the foreet wilde o'f'tlze Far North. A.. recent bulletin of the Department of Natural 1%esourcee at Ottawa sheds sero light on the problem. - In 1907, according to a regent Ottawa bulletin, the Canodian Gov- ernment acquired the nucleus of its preeent herd of bison, and enclosed tho animals in a fenced area, 13 by 15 miles in extent, near Wainwright. • Afterward, in order to cope with the , growth of the herd, it was decided to *ouster as manyas ppssible to Wood Buffalo Park, in the forest fastnesses of the Great Slave Lake region. Now there are about 9,000 buffalo at Wood Buffalo Park and about 11,000 left in the fenced park near Wainwright. It hae been decided' that the moving of the animate to the Far North will have to be continued indefinitely. The story of how Canada has thou- sands of buffalo, while" the United States virtually has none, begins in 1907, when the sole remaining speci- mens of bison were in the possession of a man in Moutana, -named Pablo. Pablo's herd totaled 706. He made an offer to the United . States Govern- ment, but Washington was slow to take action. ' In the meantime, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, then Primo Minister of Canada, learned of the bison herd and thought it _would be a fine thing to obtain .it for Canada, so that the historic buffalo, which: had 'played such a large .part in the pioneer life of the whole continent, might be pre- served for posterity Accordingly he authorized an offer to Pablo, which the latter accepted. The Canadian - Goverrjment agreed to pay $250 per buffalo for the entire herd. It took Pablo three years to round up all the animals- and ship them to Edmonton, Alberta. ' Now the problem eeems to ,be to prevent the herd's'" becoming too - numerous. The transfer to Great Slave Lake, continued indefinitely, will mean a large herd 'roaming through undeveloped country:, for the animals thrive there in company 41th a few "woodland type" buffalo which have 4disappeared. never uite • _Are tau meati Ford Will Outdo Last S20 Years in Next Five, He Says Stresses Value of Men Over 50—Regards Profits as Trust From Uublic Detroit.—Henry Ford expects to do more in the next five years than he has in the last twenty, he told visitors who came to congratulate him upon bis sixty-fifth anniversary. Mr. Ford was in optimistic mead and made it clear that he had not yet found his "age limit." Mr. Ford believes the, Judgment and experience of men over 50 are essen- tial.

Mr. •Ford spent the day as he spends most days—in making the rounds of his various plants in the Detroit area and otherwise concerning himself in the activities of his interests here. Some one asked Mr. Ford how much money he had lost in making the change from the model T to the model, A ear. "Who said I had lost anything?" he countered. "We can't lose what doesn't belong to us," he went on. "The profits we made on 15,000,000 model T cars was not our money. The public paid it to US.

"Sunburn over, large areas of the body may be as serious as burns from other causes. While sunlight Is of great therapeutic value to children and adults, exposure to the powerful violet rays should be given in the pro - par doses. Exposure should be grad- ual or sunburn will result. At first the baby or child should be given di- rect sunlight for about ten minutes. This period may be increased from three to live minutes daily until the child receives approximately one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. This will vary in some cases, depending on how the skin re- acts. For adults, the initial exposure may be longer and the increase larger each day. - "In case sunburn" does occur, it should receive prompt and careful treatment. The following treatment has been found effective: Take one- half a pint of hot water and stir into it a level tablespoongul of boric acid powder, then add twenty drops of carbolic acid and shake well. The solution should be dabbed on the in- flamed akin with, a small piece of cot- ton or sprayed on with an atomizer. It should not be rubbed into the skin.

Smoking kills the taste for sweets, and sweets kills the craving for 'smoking. Wo are not interested in how' soon hien will return to smoking. Our problem is hose to increase the consumption of sweets among women." Another, on being asked to account for the change in the habits of the sexes, said: "The war caused it, The manufac- turing of confectionery was cut down; that of tobacco was increased. Cigar- ettes were plentiful everywhere. The best sweets then made were sent to the front. In the trenches smoking was very often forbidden, but the men could eat on all occasions the millions of Pounds of sweets sent over, while the women over there and at home began to smoke because they considered it more in keeping with their war work than nibbling sweets. The men brought back the habit with them, with a particular taste for cara- mel flavors. "You can see them chewing toffee nowadays at horse and greyhound races. When they want strength of mind for a difficult niblick, they again chew toffee. As for the office, there is many a pian to -day who keeps a bag of sweets beside him on his dash: in the city.
