N .RIM OF ARCTIC RICH FINDS ALONG MAC. K' NZIE RIVER. Tremendous . Distances and Short Summer Season to be Chit by Inventions. The eyes of the world are, rapidly being focussed upon the sub -Arctic region of .northern Canadaalong the banks of the Mackenzie River at a point some fourteen hundred miles from a railroad, from which stretches what now appears may develop into one of the richest petroleum fields in the world. The first news of the Im- mense possibilities became known to the world at large in October, 1920, when a discharged employee of the Imperial Oil Company related at Ed- monton, Alberta, how the company had brought in a gusher averaging about 1,0,00' barrels a day. Edmonton is the city nearest to the strike, a distance of 1,600 miles, but where the recording office for the Northwest territories still is. The news of the new field spread rapidly until by March men in all parts of the world had begun preparing to rush to the sub Arctic region as soon as navigation opens. The irony of the present excitement is that the knowledge that the Mac - kenzie River region•is rich in ole poise northwest •af eG'aeitda' a good neap' of stemetes "' is not at all; a new thing,' the region shoulil be: studied . while Alexander 'Mackenzie; the celebrated'reading the 'following lines regarding The explorer, made much mention of the •routes into the new :field.

Following` this on February 12, new regulations were made known which read: "If oil is discovered the lessee will be allowed to take out a twenty-one year lease for an area of one square guile, the re- maining three-quarters going to the Government. That is, though the man discover oil on 2,560 acres, which he is allowed to stake under his permit, three-quarters remain Crown reserve, Location of the Strike. For those unfamiliar with the great.

At present' the..,.atsxt: has only been made in Canada and' the number of urgently needed reforms keeps continually increasing the more we see and 'learn of actual conditions to -day. As Public Health education becomes more and more widespread, the people generally, and the rising generation in particular, will adopt health habits and gradually bring about a higher standard of public and personal health. When improvements have been made in industrial condi- tions se that work will be carried on under conditions of ventilation and sanitation approaching the ideal - as much as possible, when human 1ife,, safety and happiness are considered of more importance than material profits and sordid greed for gain; when people know how to live clean ani healthy livesand live up to their ideals, then we can get a glimpse of the great goal in view. Though we may never attain to ideal condition, still we can keep the vision before us as an incentive. In the following beau- tiful words a noted American orator and writer describes his 'vision of the in childhood; many expectant mothers future civilization: "A vision., of the dying before or at childbirth through future arises.

Every Province in the. Dominion has an active Public Health Department with an organization equipped to deal with the Most pressing problems in Public Health that now confront us as a nation. Moreover, the sphere of Public Health activity is being con- tinually widened, as the need for further extensions of the work be- comes apparent. that has been called 'the asp for the breast of the poor' is not driven to the desperate choice of crime or death, of suicide or shame.

E OVERCOME Not by Rubbing, But by Enrich- ing the Blood. Rheumatism is a disorder ot the blood. It attacks, people when the blood is overcharged with acid and im- purities, thus setting up inflammation in the m eseles and joints; Wet weath- er or' cold weather maystart the tortures of rheumatism, but it is not tee.cause. The cause is in the blood. 'y1ctims eethis malady have every rea- son to t:eae the first dull ache in the limbs and joints, followed by sharp Pains throughthe flesh and muscles; these are; the symptoms of poison in the blood, which will shortly leave the v„uctim painrecked and helpless. Line -meets, hot applications and rubbing may give temporary ease, but cannot possibly root the trouble out of the 'system. That can only be done by en- riching, the blood. This new blood drives -hut the poisonous impurities, and theetli.eumatism disappears.

Not since the Klondyke rush in '98 and '99, when Edmonton, Alberta, was one point of entrance to the gold fields, has excitement reigned so high. All berths on steamers have been booked for the first trip in the spring. From all parts of the world queries are pouring into the northern metrop- olis. The. Hudsou's.Bay Company, the historic trading company of the land, the use of these pills is Mr. Freeman Irving, Baxter Harbor, N.S., who says: "Some time ago my blood was in a terrible condition, leaving me very much run down, and with belle break- ing out on my body. To add to my misery .rheumatism stet in, and I not only suffered greatly from the pain, but could only get around with the greatest difficulty. After trying sev- eral medicines without much success, I decided to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial, as they had been warmly recommended to me.

The Imperial Oil Company so far has led all others in preparation. It has two all steel monoplanes ready to go north. These machines were flown from New York to Edmonton, a distance of over two thousand miles, in the dead of winter, but though this was a very important event in the way. of a cross continent flight, almost nothing was made known of it.

The Imperial 011 Company has hangars at Peace River Crossing. Lieut. J. Gaynor and Capt.

A SPLENDID MEDICINE FOR THE CHILDREN Baby's Own Tablets are the best medicine a mother can give her little ones. They are a n ild laxative which quickly regulate the bowels and stom- ach and are guaranteed to be entirely free from any injurious drugs. Con- cerning them Mrs.. A. D. West, Lore - burn, Sask., writes:—"Baby's Own Tablets have given me more satisfac- tion than anything else I have ever given my children.

It is not perhaps generally known that Mr. Henry Ford keeps a book in which are pasted all the many hun- dreds of different jokes that have ap- peared in the American and English newspapers concerning his cars. So far from resenting the sly digs he rather welcomes ,them, as afford- ing him a good tree advertisement, and recently he himself told this one in public, with the added comment that it was the best of the batch. The head of 'a government depart- ment at Washington (said Mr. Ford). wanted a car, and rang up the garage where they were kept. "Sorry," cane the reply. "We've only a couple of Fords in just now." "'All right, send ane along. And 1 say, While you're about it, send a squirrel with it, will you?" "Squirrel? What do you want a seuirrel for?" asked the .puzzled gar- age keeper.
