PEAT IS IN GREAT DEMAND'
TWO PRIVATE PLANTS NOW
MANUFACTURING IT.
'Maley Who Burn the. Peat Make the
Mistake of Not Shutting
Off the Draught.
The experimental work which was
carried on under the 'direction of
Dr. +agent Martel, head of the
-Mines Department, in regard to the
proper manufacture of peat has pro-
ven so successful that there are now
two private concerns producing
peat, at Alfred, Ont., and Farn-
ham, P.Q,, and the output does not
begin to meet the demand,
While coal is becoming dearer all
the time, peat should become
cheaper. There is hope of reduced
freight charges and also of devising
cheaper methods of manufacture.
Inquiry has been made of hundreds
of people who have used the peat
made according to the method re-
commended .by the Department of
Mines, in the factory, for grates
and also for cooking. Some
find it not so satisfactory for fur-
naces, but the trouble seems to be
to educate the users of peat to shut
off the draught. It is a fuel that
leaves so clinkers, burns with a
a great heat and will burn up too
quickly unless the draught is
hacked.
Costly Experiment.
It is said that nearly a million
ollars was thrown away on experi-
ents in the manufacture of peat in
anada by people who did not un-
erstand how to dry the fuel pro-
erly. These were usually by the
mployment of great pressure in
rder to eliminate the moisture. It
vas only when the government porn-
'ssion was sent over to Germany,
weden, Russia and the other peat -
sing countries, to learn the sun
nd wind take the moisture out.
After the government had shown
he practicability of producing a
rood quality of peat at a saleable
price it was left to private enter -
rise to continue the work. The
t is now sold in Ottawa at $5 a
or $3 a ton on the car at Al-.
The difference of $2 is made
r • e of 30 cents a ton for
st of distrZation
part. 1
id, the doxnand,
et at the present time;
r as the plant at. Alfred is
corned the output will be con-
iderably increased next season by
eking an earlier start and getting
he machinery "tuned up" sooner,
aid also probably by using electric
c light at night and working 24
lours a day for the hundred days
hich is about the limit of time dur-
ug which the manufacture can be
ell carried on in a cool climate like
his.

Big Possibilities.
There is another splendid possi-
ility in connection with the peat
dustry that has been worked out
accessfully in Germany and Swe-
en, and which will no doubt be
ealized here in time. It is the pro-
uction of gas and,. indirectly, elec
Heal energy from the peat.
At the fuel testing plant in Otta-
a the mines department has an
0 h.p. gas producer engine which
operated from the gas produced
rom the peat. Engines up to 250
.p. can be run successfully in the
ame way. Dr. Haanel states that
here is no reason why sections of
he central peat producing parts of
1anada where water power is not
vailable could not obtain power
y the simple establishment of a
eries of gas -producer .engines.
+lectrical energy could be develop -
d for light and power purposes,
or factories in town, or mechanical
perations'on the. farms.
In Germany, he states, power and
ght produced in this way are car-
-.ea as far as forty miles. The
armors of any district, he added,
ould with a capital of about $7,-
000 erect a plant for the manufac-
ture of peat to provide them with
peat, and a further outlay would
enable them to provide power as
well. Power thus developed locally
would, as compared with water
power, save all the overhead
charges and also the loss in trans-
mission.

OSL'ER'S NEW PIIILOSOPIlY.
First Two ]lours of Day Right En-
sures Success of Whole Day,
A few years ago the startling as-
sertion of Dr. Osler, that the use-
fulness of life ended at 60 years of
age, amazed the world. The asser-
tion did not check the energetic
young fellows of 60 from going right
ahead and doing things. The doc-
tor may have intended that his ut-
terances should be taken in a scien-
tific Pickwickian sense, for in
meeting him one would never be-
lieve him responsible for such a
grim edict. Now that Dr.' Osler is
himself approaching the "age lim-
it," he may modify his original
stestemeut and with the .ji.q'nors of
keigjrihood r'thick upon him," Sir
William t)sler may take a. brighter
purview of long life as the sunset
of 60 approacahes' according to the
National Magazine.
One bit of philosophy lately ad-
vanced by Dr. Ostler deems destined
to live to bear good fruit. There is
no use, he remarks, in worrying
about yesterday and to-morrow—
to-day is what we must 'take care
of. When one stops to think of it,
most of our real worries come from
regrets for misspent yesterdays or
from apprehensions or possibly un-
happy to -morrows, little realizing
that between the sunset and sun-
rise of to -day lie all-important and
imperative duties. Dr. Osler in-
sists that when one starts the day
with the first two hours going right,
smooth sailing for all day- is fore -

RIBEIRAO. DISCOVERY
Az. 'eminent scientist, the other day,
have. ails opinion that the most won-
derftii 'discovery of recent years was
the discovery of Zanl-Buk: Just
hinlci As soon as a single thin layer
oi`' amBuh Is applied to a wound or
a sore, such injury is inisured against
blood laoison! . Not one species of
raierebe has been found that Zam-Buk
does not kill!
Then again: As soon as Zam-Buk
la applied 'to a sore, or a, cut, or to
;shin disease, it atopy, the smarting.
That Is why children are such friends
of Rata-l3uk. They care nothing for
the science of the thing. All they
know pis that Zam-Buk stops their
pain. Mothers should never forgot
this,
Again. As soon as Zam•Buk is ap-
plied to a wound or to a diseased
part, the cells•''beneath the skin's sur-
face are so stimulated that new
healthy tissue is quickly formed. This
forming of fresh healthy tissue front
below is Zam-Buk's secret of healing.
The tissue thusformed is worked up
to the surface and literally casts off
the diseased tissue above It. This is
why Zam-13uk puree are permanent.
Only the othor day Mr. Marsh, of
101 Delorimier Ave., Montreal, called
upon the Lam-Buk Company and told
them that (for over ,twentysfive years
he 'had been a martyr to eczema. His
hands were at one time so covered

GOT A COLD TET?
Flo, Try the Deep Breathing
Clue For It.
In the season when coughs and
,colds are prevalent any method of
preventing them and checking the
first symptoms without drugs may
be of inestimable value, says a
physician.
When you find you have a cough,
and before it gets to be deep-seated,
go into the air and practice deep
breathing. Draw air into the lungs
until they are completely distended,
raising , the arms above the head
during inspiration to more fully ex -
and the chest. Hold the air in the
gPfor a. few seconds; then
tlac„it out slowly. Repeat the
f z'a't;icns 'a 'do'ten tithes- or'°lmore,.
ad after an hour try' it 'again.
":Persistency in this treatment will
often cure a newly -contracted
cough in a few hours. If the cough
it of long standing, pain may be
felt under the shoulder -blades and
across the chest during the breath-
ing, but, as this is caused by the
tearing away of adhesions of the
lung tissue, it will usually pass
away in a day or two, and the fact
that it is felt shows that the lungs
need thorough inflation.

Missionary's Wife Tei%e of Amus-

The wife of a missionary long

with suppressed laughter at the
first service that her husband held
at the -station after bringing her
out. She had, indeed, .to leave the
chapel lest, she should disgrace her -
.self by an outburst of an unseemly
mirth.
The cause of h-er, discomfiture was
an important convert, an aged and
venerable• chief, with snowy wool
and' a countenance of ferocious dig-
nity. Th -e young wife had thrown
away the day before an outgrown
pair of her tiny daughter's ankle
ties. They were of a, gay scarlet
morocco, and when they reappeared
at church buttoned neatly through
the distended lobes of the old
chief's ears and dangling conspicu-
ously against his withered ebony
shoulders the speetaole was to',
much for her ---especially in combi-
nation with the rest of his costume,
which consisted of a dirty blue Ioin

We have all read and heard of the

duty to tell to the world his faith in
Nerviline that Victor P. Hires makes
the following declaration, "For three
years I was in the Royal Mail service,
and in all kinds of weather had to
beet the night trains. Dampness,
cold, and exposure brought on sciatica
:Mat' affected my lett side. Sometimes
an attack would conte on that made
me powerless to work. I was so near-
ly a complete cripple that I had to
give up my job. I was in despair,
completely cast down, because the
money I had spent on trying to get
well was wasted, I was speaking to
my chemist one day, and ho recom-
mended 'Nerviline.' I had this good
liniment rubbed on several times a
day, and got relief. I continued this
treatment four months and was cured.
I have used all kinds of liniments, and
can t.ruthfuIly say that Nerviline is far
stronger, more penetrating and infin-
itely better than anything else for re-
lieving pain. I urge everyone with
lumbago, neuralgia, rheumatism, or
sciatica, to use Nerviline. I know it
will cure them."
