' Nothing can ever take away The love a heart holds dear; Fond memories linger every day Remembrance keeps hien near, OLD LONDON Bertivick-on-Tweed, England, d, J uly -29, 1 g 929`. Dear Sister:— I wrote you last from Salisbury and came from there up to London by motor, o , Salisbury Plains is now a big Flying Field, and beyond this the sol diers are being trained. We met. squad after squad tramping out 'for training, also some for rifle, practice. London too, was bright with red- coats in white and gold -all very snappy and alert looking, and it takes some men off the streets, and gives them good training physically, if they get nothing else. There's no city like London, I thought the war would sur- ely have spoiledtheir obedience to traffic laws, but never a bit of'it-I counted 22 double deck motor buses, to say nothing of little ."Baby Ates tins", trucks, etc., all held up," and never a honk from a motor horn nor shout from a drivel`. The police of- ficer turned his back on them, and they all waited ;quietly and patiently until the tangled mess moved on.:A chap from Nebraska to whom 1 was. speaking, said: "it is amazing; these people will be here obeying their laws, when we go down •in internal anarchy." The London street car service and their motor bus service is excellent and easily, understood and used, for all you do is to tell the po- lice officer where you want to go, and .he says: "To get there, take such and :such a number :and tell the con- ductor to let you off at that place," Tf you buy a shilling ticket in the morning you may travel all day on it on .any car line. M mid-day you pay 4 cents and go any distance you like, while taxis charge only 6 cents for the first half mile, so are greatly used. No place, in any country, have 1} riot policemen as courteous„ acid helpful as hi London. I'd much ratli- ertackle London than New York. The. day I reached London T was fortunate to see the lord. Mayor's equipage, a four -horse team, with out- riders, all in silver and gold, the driv- er and footmen sitting stiff as rani- rods, while the horses pranced and tossed their heads,; as if quite aware that they were by far the handsomest things on the street. I wonder whrat, London would become without Roy- alty! 1 went by boat up to Windsor Cas- tle, and there were many U. S. A. citizens, all talking of course, about the extravagance of the upkeep of the Royal Family. Said an elderly Eng- lishsvoinan who sat next me: They tally of our getting rid of our King and Queen and Family—why we love them, they belong to us and if we want them, 1 think maybe we can keep them." The Thames River was at its best and the trip was delightful. From Windsor I went on to Oxford, to see the various Colleges there. The. students of to -day sit at the same old tables, the same benches as did. Sir Walter Raleigh and those who pre- ceded him. Some of the buildings are being re -faced, the stone that has weathered 600 or 700 years is begin- ning to crumble, but the mortar still holds. From Oxford I took a motor bus to the Shakespeare Country; to Scott's "Kenilworth" where I looked all round for the postern gate where Amy Robsart made her "get away" one 'dark night; but it wasn't there, Sir Walter just put it there and Amy too, so that some young thing could while away the time on a cold, snowy winter's day or evening. The walls of John Gaunt's banquetting room stil stand, and blare periwinkles and wild asters groin from the cracks and crannies. When we arrived at Anne Hathaway's cottage, we were follow- ed by 3 or 4 bus loads of J. S. tour- ists and a little dirty boy shrilled out his National Anthem. Nodoubt they thought he was singing "My Country, 'Tis of Thee." I then came on to. York -the walled city of Yorlc—with a wide promenade all along the wall which in places must be 30 feet high. The a T c ten to thepromenade g evade are lock- ed at 9,30 so I didn't get the whole way around and turned back with the officer,; who showed me the street car to taketo theHotel. Hot c . Cardinal Wol- sey was Archbishop here until he was proinoted to Canterbury where he later' lost his head. From York "I came to Durham and after seeing this splendid` old Cathedral and Castle beautifully situated above the River Wear, I took a motor away ou to the coal mine area. Always misty here, from the smoke from the great smoke stacks that tower over every- thing else, got back in time to get the train here, to 'Berwick, really or legally in England, but the inhabitants call themselves Scotch. This too, has its walls—all about' the city, built by Ed word 1, and .. restored by Elizabeth. This is the old fighting ground of the Douglises and the Percies— thousands have been ailed within these walls, the cobble streets have run with blood—and above every gate hung the head of some brave gentle- man in those good old days! The. R R. station has a plate in the floor which states: "'Twas here Edward I decided in favor of John Bahol rather than Robert Brace as Ring of Scot- land," The Tweed runs down to the sea just the same, three five -arched bridges cross it—the oldest one hav- ing been built by fairies I, when he crossed its predecessor itscared him because of its shakiness, so he readily granted looney for a new one lest he have to return across the decrepit RHEUMATISM Lumbago ?

(370) Two scholarships at McGill Uni- versity, Montreal, covering five years'. tuition for employees who are minors orminor sons of em- ployees have been awarded by the Canadian Pacific Railway this year, one to C. P. Etur lee, son of E. F. L. Sturd..e, assista., eencral passen- ger ageat and the other to William P. Dunlop, son of John Dunlop of the pension department of the rail- way at t'he head ;office of the com- pany. The scholarships provide for. one, year's tuition in the faculty of arts followed by four years' tuition in architecture, chemical, civil, me- chanical or electrical engineering. Right Hon. Winston Churchill; Chancellor of the Exchequer in the late Baldwin Government in Great Birtain, arrived in Canada recently on the Empress of Australia and made a tour of the country from Montreal to victoria. He visited Toronto, Hamilton, Niagara Falls, Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton, Cal- gary, Banff, Lake Louise, Sicam- ous, Vancouver and Victoria. He will. leave the latter city September 5 arriving at Seattle the same even- ing. He travelled Canadian Paci- fic railway and steamships during the whole of his trip.' Purchased for a sum in excess of $50,000, an oil painting of Lord Peterborough by Sir Anthony Van Dyck, court painter to King Oharles T., was carried by the Canadian Pa- cific Express Company by steamer: Montrose to Montreal recently, very special precautions being taken to ensure safe delivery. It was bought by A. J. Nesbitt, promi- nent business leader of Montreal. Commercial apple crop' in the province of Nova Scotia this year will .total about 1,509,000 barrels, about 420,000 barrelsmore than last year. The Ontario crop is es- timated at 770,004 barrels, up 210,- 000 barrels over 1928. The British Columbia crop is placed at 3,538,- 100 boxes, about 19 per cent. less than last year. The raspberry crop is reported good all over the Do- minion, As a result of experiments Con- ducted over several years past, of- ficials of the Canadian Federal De- pertinent of Agriculture feel aesttr ed that two or three , varieties of wheat have been at last developed that will resist rust. No names have yet been given the new varie- ties and it will be two or three years before they eau be produced in sufficient quantities for seed dis- tribution. Hans Andersen, his wife, two daughters and two sons, are the first settlers to arrive for the new Danish Colony in Hants County, Nova Scotia, which is being pro- moted by the Canadian Pacific Railway Colonization and Develop- ment Department. They have gene to the Walton district where they purchased a farm and will go into dairying and hog raising on a large scale. . Since 1921, the total turbine in- stallation in the Dominion has in- creased from. 2,754,000 horse -Powe.' to 0,350,000, more than 550,000 horse -power having been installed in 1928„ Developments now near- ing completion or, in active pros- poets will, on completion, add a fur- ther two million horse -power with- in the next few years, In the Prai- rie Provinces the developed horses potter has nearly trebled Since 1921, Nr DIABETES ON INCRE.4S1 1[nsuliih Hips ,Been of Ilse But Cannot Overt:tone Food ExcessesIn the United Stoics, The disease, diabetes, le on the in- crease, in spite of the .many' live.. saved by insulin, And the unprece- dented prevalence of this metabolic disorder is attributed by experts of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Coni- pany to "the dietary excesses prac- ticed by the people of the 'United States," In 1927, says a Science Servide bulletin, shortly after the wide use of insulin became established, medical statisticians were surprised to find an increase in the diabetes death rate. There was a further rise in 1928,'and now 1929 bids fair to reach the high- est figure ever recorded. The death rate for the first three months of this year, 23,8 per 100,000, was the high- est ever recorded among the indus- trial policyholders of the Metropoli- tan Life Insurance .Co., .a group wide- spread throughout the United States and comprising a considerable per- centage of the total population. The large increase was due, in part, to a wide prevalence of influenza and, pneumonia, which . hastened the deaths of a number of diabetics, But apart from such deaths; there has been a large increase In the death rate from diabetes. The fundamental cause' of diabetes is unknown. Some change in the pan- creas occurs which reduces its out- put of a secretion which transforms sugar into a form useful for energy and muscle building. Why the pan- creas fails, in some eases, to produce a sufficient amount of this ferment is not known, but the resulting condi- tion is di.abetes.;Insulin, derived from the islands of Langerhans in the pan- creas of animals, • has this power of converting, sugar into usable form. It supplements the reduced amount of pancreatic secretion of the diabetic, but it does not change the diseased condition of the pancreas itself. It is a treatment, but not a cure and not a preventive. It does, however, enable the' patient suffering from diabetes to live out his allotted span of life, us- ually in a fair state of health and comfort. The use of insulin has increased, a study of fatal cases showed. Accord- ing to information obtained from physicians insulin was givenin overr half the cases, or 63 per cent. of the 1,044 for which data were received; but of these, 46 per cent. were given insulin only during the last month before death. The deaths from dia- betic coma are showing a small but encouraging decrease, which also tes- tifies to the increasing use of insulin. Patients suffering with diabetes are living to more advanced age. BLESSING THE WINE. Curious Celebrations Held Annually In Vineyards of France. In nearly all the vineyards of France ,. annual celebrations take place, in,the course of which the year's vintage receives priestly bene- diction. One of the most curious of these festivities is that held at Boulbon, a village near Tarascon in Provence. All the • inhabitants of the countryside around Tarascon, on the day of the celebration, march first upon Boul- bon, and then from the village to a chapel on aneighboring hilltop. Every processioner carries in the crook of his arm an unopened bottle of local wine, which, when the chapel is reached, is blessed by the priest, who sprinkles holy water upon it. Whereupon: everyone draws his cork and drinks; and then, carefully guarding the ,bottle, which he keeps until the following year, he returns to Boulbon with song and dance. On the first Sunday of July the Brunnenfest, or Feast of the Foun- tain, is held at Wangen, in Alsace; and it presents an interesting con- trast to the procession at Boulbon in. that far from being in the nature of a benediction, it : commemorate the removal of a tax of 6,000 gallons of wine which Wangen had once to pay annually to an Abbey in Strasbourg. On the day of the Brunnenfest, there- fore, the public 'fountain runs not water but wine, and hundreds of visi- tors throng to the village to share in so lavish a gift, COLLECTED R.UGGS. Travelled 500,000 Miles and Passed Through Forty -Two Countries. A valuable collection of Oriental rugs, which entailed adventurous journeys round the world for the col- lector, will be lodged in the St. Louis Art Museum, They are the gift to his native city of Mr. James F. Ballard, a millionaire, and are valued at $250,000. His hobby sent Mr. Ballard three. times round the world, when he trav- elled 500,000miles and passed through forty-two countries. On` one occasion he was held prisoner by the Greeks in . Smyrna and was .released just before the city was attacked and burned by the Turks. One rug in this collection was ob- tained by him only after he had trav- elled 41,000 miles. Included in the collection is a Per- sian tent of Genoese velvet which, Mr. Ballard explained, had been used as an .audience tent by six Persian kings, being given .finally to a British army officer by the present Persian Gov- ernment for services to that country. France's Coal Mines. The mining eompanies in the north of France do not confine theinselves simply to the sale of their coal to neighboring or distant electrical gen- erating plants, bat, since the war, a number of them have constructed generating plants at their pit heads. 13y this means they are able to dis- pose of their low -quality coal and dust, take dare of their own electri- eai energy requirements,and sell the unused power to neighboring indus- tries and cot'ninunities. A very small folding piano for utae While travelling has been designed for a musical composer. 1 Thursday, August 29th, 9,2V �s' Suit .. Sale ..
