Thousands had gathered at the eta - tion to swarm about the train so that it was only with the greatest of diffi- culty that the Prince and suite could make their way to their car. Jocular remarks passed. between H.R.H. and his eager, happy audience as he stood on the platform of the observation coach waiting for the train to move.

The Cabinet will resign immediate- ly after elections are held, Where it was expected that Canada's Royal guest would have much-needed quiet. But it was not long until the people, old and young, of the village and surrounding 'country, which is about four miles east of Woodstock, were aware of the presence of the train hearing the heir to the British throne. Soon a crowd had gathered. The guards were .prevailed upon to inform the Prince that the people of the countryside would Iike just one glance at his Royal Highness, Soon he appeared, and after answering the great cheer with a swing of his hat, he mingled with the people. "Do not be bashful because I am,' he said, and then followed a general handshaking with the lads and lassies, The Prince then treated'all hands to either choc- olates or cigars. Following this, 'he continued as entertainer.

When it is remembered that Burley tobacco runs anywhere from 1,500 to 2,000 pounds per acre, it is easy to figure the returns. Six to eight hun- dred dollars per acre is nothing un - Usual. Many who grew 10 -to 20 acres were awakened to find themselves rich beyond their dreams. Why Do I Turn White When Scared? Simply because, when you are scared or frightened, the blood almost leaves your face entirely. Under nor- mal conditions, -the red blood which Is flowing through the arteries of your face gives the face a reddish tinge, and your face becomes white when yott are frightened, because then the blood leaves the face. It is quite singular, but when you are really frightened, whatever thee cause may be, the human system receives snob a shock that the heart ibat about stops beating altogether. When your heart stops heating of course the flow of the blood from the heart stops, and then there is no supply of fresh rod blood coining through the arteries under the skin of your face. Therefore you ibolg white—the color your game would by fig no blood ever flowed through yout arteries ang veinal Some people'leve faces so white» they look as hough they were scaled all the time, Thi is not because they heal) t'� plod flowing through the ''eine and arterlbt i in their faces, but leoause iheii' $ oz blood is less than other people and sometimes li'ec,„g6, h24114 their erten-10 a u °?a4yp a Ip 00.6 thicker lima the average that the color of the blood does not 01(g through.
