For the first time in two years and six months, the cheese was cor- rectly guessed—weight, height and girth. The correct guesser was E. W. Johnson. The figures were, Height, 12% inches; girth 31% inches, weight $0 pounds. The ceremony dates back to 1723. Whoever guesses correctly has his name printed on a card, framed, and put up on the wall behind the chair_ man's table. To mark the occasion, champagne and cigars are on the house."—New York Times, Katherine—"Why do all the boys like to play golf with Sylvia Anne?

And According to Scientists, May be Something No More Alarming Than A Touch Of Acid Stomach At about 40, many people think they're "growing old." They're tired a lot. Have headaches. Stomach up- sets. Dizziness. Nausea. Well, scientists say the cause, in a great many cases, is merely an acid condition of the stomach. The thing to do is simply to neutralize the excess stomach acidity. When you have one of these acid stomach upsets, all you do is take Phillips' Milk of Magnesia after meals and before going to bed. Try this. You'll feel like another person! Take either the familiar liquid "PHILLIPS', or the con- venient new Phillips' Milk of Mag- nesia Tablets. Made in Canada. Also in Tablet Form: Phillip? Milk of Magnesia Tab- lets are now on sale at all drug stores everywhere. Each tiny tab- let is the equivalent of 5 teaspoonful of Gen- uine Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. x C1AL- 01* World Business Conditions The current monthly letter issued by the Royal Bank of Canada cleats extensively with business conditions throughout the world and wads in part: • In Great Britain and in the countries of the Scandinavian peninsula the total volume of production in 1934 exceeded that in 1928, In Europe, with the exception of those countries which have maintained the gold stan- dard or a semblance of that standard, condition$ have continued to improve and throughout the world the countries which are loosely classified as -being i members of the sterling bloc have lead the way in slow but consistent re- covery. In Japan, production is said to be 40 per cent. in excess of that in 1928, and throughout Latin America trade has improved materially as compared with last year. In Canada, improved prices for wheat and other agricultural products, the increasing production of the mining industry, ,ana the exceptional expansion in forestry are indicative of the improvement which has become quite general throughout the country In Canada, and in many other couri:;ries, discussion of immediate in- ternal business conditions is followed by speculation concerning prospects in the United States of America. Frequently, the summary is stated in the 1 following form. "While business is not improving as rapidly as we might wish, yet prospects seem distinctly favourable provided there is no major 1 reversal in the United States. The U. S. controls a sufficient proportion of , the world's wealth and its total volume of consumption is so large a pro -1 portion of world consumption that no competent forecast of internal con- ditions can disregard the developments which may occur in that country," In contrast with this summary of business which is a fair statement of the situation which preve.ils in many countries, consider the summary which might be written within the United States. "In spite of a certain lack of financial confidence and despite the lack of activity in construction and durable goods, the total volume of business has shown substantial im- provement above the low level of 1932, and it is still possibe that a re covery in the last months of the year may bring the total volume of pro- duction for the year above the totals attained in 1933. Certainly, unem- ployment has been reduced and prospects favour continued improvement unless there are unfortunate developments abroad." Both this statement and the previous one are expressions of the inter -independence of business conditions throughout the world. Within the United States excessive pessi- mism as to world conditions retards improvement, and doubt as -to prospects in that country holds back business in other countries. Teck Hughes Report Net earnings of $3,029,906 are shown in interim statement of esti- mated earnings by Teck Hughes Gold Mines Ltd., for the year ended August 31st. This is equal to 63.03 cents per share which compares with 67.17 cents per share in the previous year. For the twelve month period the report shows gross income of $6,- 248,359 6;248,359 which is approximately the same as last year. Total operating costs amounted to $2,476,515 to which was added $625,811 as estimate for taxes and $253,005 for depreciation, leaving a net balance from operations of $2,593,026 to which is added $136,- 880 as the credit re bullion tax off- set against Dominion income tax in 1934. A comparison of the current state- ment with that for the preceding year would appear to indicate that the new bullion tax, put in effect this year is largely responsible for the decline in per share earnings as with the ex- ception of this item, income and dis- bursements were fairly well balanced for the two years. Noranda. Mines, Ltd. For the nine months ending Sept- ember 30th, Noranda Mines Ltd. re- ports net profit of $4,088,929 which is equal to $1.82 cents per share which compares with $3,033,436 or $1,35 per share for the same period in 1933. Reduction in recovery and increased costs reduced earnings for the third quarter to 40 cents per share as com- pared with 73 cents for the first quar- ter and 69 cents for the second.

It is planned to sink a shaft on this group when the pres- ent drilling campaign is completed. Fourteen veins have been uncovered on the Beardmore group and a num- ber of assays have given excellent va- lues.

October Dividends Higher Dividends distributed during Oct- ober by Canadian corporations listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange as shown in the current monthly Bulle- tin, record an increase of more than a million and a half dollars paid to shareholders as compared with the corresponding period of 1933. October dividends were declared by 76 companies totalling $10,752,553, bringing payments for the year to date by listed companies to $119,496,- 157. 119,496;157. This figure is also an increase over the $94,241,509 shown in Oct- ober last year. Net increase of the month was pri- marily due to the added bonuses and increased dividends disbursed by some 15 companies, which more than offset the reduced payments of sev- eral of the utilities and financial in- stitutions.

This action was taken at the request of the federal government after John I McFarland, general manager of the central selling agency of the Canad- ian wheat *pools had stated that there was a renewal of the outside selling which had been recently complained of. Duration of the pegged price was not set. Last year from August 15th to September 14th a pegged price of 70 cents a bushel was in effect.
