"I have found early Canaanite

The Telegraph's comments on Pro-

most fascinating historical problems.
"We can now positively say," it
adds, "that he dioeovered the ancient

Doctors Take Tooth
from Woman's Lungs
A despatch from New York says:—
Resorting to the principle a ssvord
swallower employs, . surgeons of St.
Mary's Hospital, St. Mark's Avenue,
Brooklyn, recovered a tooth that had
been swallowed by Mrs. Helena. Pet-
ersberger, 20 years'old.
Several months ago Mrs. Peters-
bergcr, had the tooth pulled. She
gulped and it fell back in her throat
and down into one of her kings.She
coughed constantly and Di. John
Williams, of Brooklyn, planned the
tooth's recovery.
Mrs. Petcrsberger was not given an
anaesthetic but was placed on the op-
erating table with her bed and neek
in a position so that the throat larnyx
and lung were In a straight line. A
thin metal tube which surgeons call
a bronchoscopewas inserted. A sur-
geon directed' it through an X-ray ma-
chine until the end of the tube was
directly over the tooth. Then a pair
of specially made forceps was slipped
through the tube and the tooth with-
drawn. Mrs. Petersburger is now at
her home, • finally rid of the bother-
some molar.

Dominion News Brief
Vancouver, B.C.—It is estimated by
the grain men that December will see
one boat a day taking grain from the
port and that loading and clearing'
will be at capacity in the port There
are heavy bookings on the board to the
Orient for December, which is unusual,
and the elevator management is mak-
ing preparations for this strain by
sacking wheat well ahead, thus ob-
viating a tie-up when the bulk move-
ment is at its height.
Calgary, Alta.—Government labor
bureaux report the biggest demand for
men for lumber camps in several
years. Lumber concerns expect a
brisk business next year in Alberta
as a result of the heavy crop.
Winnipeg, Man,—Disappointed with
conditions across the line rnaary Win-
nipeggers who have gone to the Un-
ited States in search of brighter pros-
pects aro reported returning to their
home cities,' All classes are included
in the movement, which is the more
remarkable in that it is taking place
on the approach of Winter, when the
exodus to the south is usually at its
height. By next 'spring it is felt
that the trek back to Canada will be
in full swing:
Hamilton, Ont—Tho growth and
development of this city is both inspir-
ing and encouraging. At the end of
last year there were seven hundred
and ninety industries established to
which have been added this year, to
date a further fifteen. The establish-
ment of a coke,oven plant which will
be completed this month, is the out-
standing item of the year. This plant
will rameafacture about three hundred
tons of coke per day.
Montreal, Que.—Exports of •bacon
:from Canada to Great Britain in-
creased alnost 3,000,000 pounds dur-
ing the first nine months of the cur-
rent calendar year. For this period
during 1922 there ivere 70,988,000
pounds of Canadian bacon shipped to
tee British market, while this year
the corresponding figure rose to 73,-
934,000 pounds.
Kentville, N.S.—A movement is on
foot to establish e, small pork packing
plant, at an advantageous point in
Eastern Nova Scotia. Meetings have
teen held looking to -his end and a
strong committee has been formed to
gather information and report upon
the feasibility of the scheme. The
dairy interests in this part of the
province are convinced that more
hogs of standard type could be raised
profitably if market conditions were
more favorable. At present the sale
of hogs is pretty much an individual
problem for each gi leer.

Boys' Parliament of Oiur arid.
Tho Third Ontario Boys' Parlia-
ment is called to meet:' en December
27th, 28th and 29th, in the Legislative
Assembly Chambers, Parliament
Buildings, Toronto, and indications
point to a membership of probably
ninety-five boys from the one hundred
and six constituencies in the provinces.
At the same time Parliaments will bo
held in Manitoba and Alberta and in
each province regularly elected repre-
sentative boys between tine ages of
sixteen and twenty will seriously con-
sider the problems of work with boys
and pass legislation improving and
modifying the Canadian Standard Ef
ficiency Program.
What is C,S.E,T.? It is a Chris-
tian Program for boys between the
ages of twelve and. eighteen, promote
ing a four -fold development, intellec-
tual, physical, religious and. social,
based on the development of the boy
Jesus as recorded in Si. Lulea 2:62,
"And Jesus increased in wisdom and
stature and in favour with God and.
man." It is the official program of
the Churches of Canada for organized
Sunday School classes and in their
opinion the best known plan for .the
development of Canadian Christi
Citizenship.
The older Boys, through the P
meet, are shouldering the res"pon
ity for the promotion and supper
work with boys in the province an
the Cabinet Ministers particularly as-
sume responsibility for, certain areas
during the year.
Much interest was aroused through-
out the province in the local .election
campaigns which preceded' the voting
day, November 24th. There couldn't
1ielp but be warm and lively contests
when about 10,000 boys in the Prov-
ince .were interested voters.
The travelling expenses of the
members elected are pooled, and so
the boy from North Bay or Windsor
niay attend quite as easily as the
ir.enber from Toronto,
It is a wonderful experience .for
these boys, and men and women inter-
ested in boy life will find much to
learn in observing the sessions of the
Parliament.from the public galleries
in the Legislative Chambers,. during
Christmas week.

First Civilian Air Despatch
Spineless Cactus.
When that wizard of plant life,
Luther Burbank, produced the spine-
less cactus, he served the nice, for
he made the valuable desert plant
readily available as fodder for cattle
and even as food for man. Because
of its most obvious feature the cactus
is thought of more often as formidable
in defence Tether then as a ::curse of
food or a useful reservoir of water in
a parched, amid soil, Taking the spine
from the cactus might seem to rob it
of its essential character•, but instead
there has been a marked advantage
to mankind as the successful issue of
Burbank's patient endeavor.
So much for the spineless vegetable;
but in.tlre animal kingdom is a marked
difference. What use has the world
for a spineless man? Ilow can a man
with a broken will, a' shattered resolu-
tion, a feeble nerve, command others
when he is unable to control himself?,
The spineless man is a pitiful object
to contemplate. Unlike the plant, he
stores up no essential goodness, Tfe is
not increasing those internal re-
sources which are given forth again
in blessing to all with whom he comes
in contact.

Among the, big Alberta wheat yields
this year is that of J. 1, Wenoop, of
