HOOG. 2901-tf EVILLY Where the CIIIPPawa-Q ieepsten power canal route led through solid 'rock the difficulties of construction had to do Mainly with the rapid re- , "neva' of blasted material from a hole t}s' much as forty feet deep. The great electric shovels with en arm - reach of 73 feet, helped to solve that problem. But there was one section near the Whirlpool where the canal had to be carried across a gully. Bowman's Ravine is a deep cleft in the ruck which revealed a deposit of quicksand at the bottom 'before bed- rock -was reached. The task of bridg- ing this "V" was no common under- taking. It was achieved by filling the whole gully with broken sock excavated from the other portions of the canal and allowing these thou- sands upon thousands of tons, months of time in which to settle to rock foundation, The "fill" was not a mere dump. The bottom was the widest section, and the sides of the fill made an angle of about 60 de- grees with the base. If you draw an equilateral triangle and cut it in two transversely, the lower section will be the shape of the "fill" when it was finally settled. 'Then the ex- cavating shovels gut busy and made a channel with sloping sides which ultimately were lined with reinforc- ed cuncrete, This Whirlpool section of the canal is 2,500 feet long and is one of the engineering features of the work. The main ruck section which is over eight ]Hiles long, is 48 feet wide with perpendicular sides ranging from 41) to 85 feet in depth. At Lundy's Lane the bottom of the canal is 145 feet below the original ground level. The amount of rock excavated made a to- tal of 4,182,0(10 cubic yards. The but - tont and sides of the canal through all this distance are concreted, and by reason of this smooth lining the capacity of the canal has been in- creased by over 20 per tent. The elimination of friction justified this novel treatment. Far the earth section of four utiles 13.21$1,000 cubic yards of material were excavated. In every respect the work was colossal. It was carried en at a time when efficient labor was difficult to secure and yet from the day the big shovels began to operate until the first generator at Queens - ton began to hurn, only three years and nine months elapsed. The con- struction of the canal alone, without reference to the great power house, is one of the notable engineering accomplishments of this continent. It is the work of Canadian engineers, trained in Canadian universities, and is for the direct benefit of all the people within transmission range of Niagara Falls.

REASONS FOR THE WONDERFUL VALUE OF EGGS IN THE HUMAN DIET The egg is truly a fountain from which the human race may draw mental and bodily health and vigor. It is not so very long since eggs were regarded as a luxury in the home, and while it is true that to- day- they are regarded as an ordin- ary article of diet, it is equally true that they are not so freely used as they should be, and it is evident that their wonderful nutritive value is not as generally understood as it should he. A few years ago, when measur- ing the value of a food or diet, very little consideration was given to the proportion of mineral matter or in- organic constituents contained. To- day in the light of the newer knowledge of nutrition, it is en- tirely different. It is essential that the diet should contain adequate min- eral matter, and here the egg stands nut prominently. In either words, there are at least five important fac- tors to hear in mind in measuring the nutritive value of a diet: (1) Good protein; (2) Adequate mineral matter; (3) Food essential fat soluble A; (4) Food essential water soluble R; (5) Sufficient cal- ories or heat creating units. The "Vitamins• Twins".. -.the egg and milk --are the only two foods in ordinary every day use which can answer "here" to these require- ments as contained in themselves. In real intrinsic value eggs stand on a pedestal far above their value as ordinarily rated. it has been given to Dr. E. V. McCollum, of the Johns Hopkins University. to reveal to us' by actual practical feeding experiments con- ducted by him and repeated over a long period in association with other scientists, the real and wonderful value of eggs and millc. Dr. Mc- Collum has proved that egg yolks and butter fat contain unidentified food essentials or vitnmines, which for lack of better names he de- scribes as Fat Soluble "A" and Wa- ter Soluble "B,"—in sufficient pro- portion to ensure t.hr growth and vigor of the young animal, to re- place the wasted fissile and protest the health of old and young, and in no other ''ooi)e can the4ae essentin be found in sufficient quantities. Dr, McCollum believes that the real reason why the men and wo- men of China and Japan are small in stature is that their diet has been faulty, lacking mainly in milk and eggs. In contrast, the peoples of Europe and America are liberal users of both eggs and milk. They are the largest people in the world. They have the lowest death rate, the longest span of life am accom- plish most in every line of activity. The varied diet, including milk and irg.i and leafy vegetables, has made Europeans and Americans the super- ior peoples of the world. Professor James Dryden nays, "It is not to be assumed that the new science of nutrition represented by Doctor McCollum is going to develop a superior race of men on eggs and milk alone. The value of proteins, of fats and of carbohydrates loses none of its impurtanee, but these are rendered more efficient when supple. tnented by th'e unknown substance called vitamine that is found only in sufficient quantities in eggs and milk. A varied diet is necessary, but a greater use of eggs and milk is es- sential even in America. Certain diseases prevail alarmingly where eggs and milk are lacking in the diet." Eggs aro( milk are the protec- tive foods. The experiments of Doctor Mc- Collum read almost like a romance, In all his experiments, as well as those of Hart and Steenbock of the Wisconsin station, nothing was found in take the place of either milk or eggs. In experiments with pigs the animals failed to make proper growth when these dietary essentials found in the yolks of eggs and in milk were left out. One pig that was fed wheat meal and wheat gluten weighed only fifty-five pounds at the end of the experiment. Another fed wheat meal and skim milk for the same period weighed 165 pounds. Egg yolks are not pure fat; they contain protein and other things, and when these other things are separated from the fats by chemical process,—in oth,•r words, when the fat is purified and nothing remains but fat, it does not produce the same result in growth nor lend the same protection to health. The per capita consumption of eggs in Canada is about one half egg a day, and taking our small chil- dren, it is probably less. At least one egg a day per capita should be added. In an indefinite way we know how beneficial eggs are in sickness, then why not use them 0.0 a protection against sickness, against serious epidemics and for the physical and mental development of our children. This should appeal to the mothers of Canadian children to consider this matter seriously with a view to safe- gparding the growth, mental develop- ment and general health of the chil. dren, and the well-being of Canadians generally. Eggs arriving on our markets, how- ever, should he candled and graded at all seasons and in this work our wholesale distributors who do candle and grade them at certain seasons render a very necessary, active and valuable service. Current receipts of eggs as re- ceived by our wholesale firms from local shipping points are a very mis- cellaneous product, due to careless- ness on the farms and long holding and carelessness in the country stores. These receipts may contain day-old eggs, fresh eggs, cooking eggs, stale eggs, incubator eggs, spotted eggs, musty eggs and rotten eggs, due to lack of consideration as to quality between the time they were laid and received, this lack again being due to the prevailing system of bartering for or buying eggs _from producers by count, absolutely without consid- eration as to their quality. Eggs, just as other agricultural products, should be standardized. Consumers are entitled to know the exact and relative values of the goods they purchase, and it was therefore suggested some consider- able time since that it might be practicable to bring about greater un- iformity in the quality of eggs as they appear on our markets. In co -operation -with producers and wholesale distributors, the Dominion Live Stock Branch has formulated grades known as the "Canadian Stan- dards for Eggs," and, to -day, Canada is the only country in the world, so far as can be ascertained, having a national standard for eggs based on interior quality. Efforts have been and are being made to familiarize the consuming public with these standards, in or- der that consumers may buy intelli- gently according to their require- ments. These grades are applied to both fresh -gathered and storage eggs and consumers should bear in mind that fresh eggs properly stored are excellent and wholesome food, and a splendid substitute for fresh -gather- ed eggs. The proper use of cold storage has teen and is a boon an applied to commodities such as eggs, the prndurtinn of which is seasonal under conditions at present prevail- ing. There is little doubt that if the consuming public could obtain a glimpse of the interior of ,the major- ity of the cold storages, splendidly kept and operated by our wholesale riistribut"rs, the prejudice which ex- ists in many quarters against the cold storage eggs would disappear. While we have no positive proof that any chemical change detri- mental to rivality has taken place in what is left of an egg when it hes heroine stale, we do know that Bond for fren hook giving full parts, Mara of Tronch•a world-famous prep- aration for Epilepsy and Flls—simple home treatment.

Jack looked into her eyes and a hopeless, tired expression crossed her face. "I don't know," he said in a barely audible voice:—"I just—please, Miss Ruth, let us talk of something else; let me tell you how lovely your gown is and how glad I am you wore it to -day. I always liked it, and—" "No,—never mind about my gown; I would rather you did not like any- thing about me than misunderstand me!" The tears were just under the lids;—one more thrust like the last and they would be streaming down her cheeks. "But I haven't misunderstood you." He saw the lips quiver, but it was anger, he thought, that caused it. "Yes, you have!"—a great lump had risen in her throat, 'You have done a brave, noble act --everybody says 80; you carried my dear father out on your back when there was not but one chance in a thousand you would ever get out alive; you lay in a faint for hours and once they gave you up for dead; then you thought enough of Uncle Peter and all of us to get that telegram sent so we wouldn't be terrified to death and then at the risk of your life you ]pet us at the station and have been in bed ever since, and yet I am to sit still and not say a word!" It was all she could do to control herself. "I do feel grateful to you and I al- ways shall feel grateful to you as long as I live. And now will you take my hand and tell me you are sorry, and let me say it all over a- gain, and with my whole heart? for that's the way I mean it." She was facing him now, her hand held out, her head thrown back, her dark eyes flashing, her bosom heav- ing. Slowly and reverently, as a devotee would kiss the robe of a pass- ing priest, ,lack bent his head and touched her fingers with his lips. Then, raising his eyes to hers, he asked, 'And is that all, Miss Ruth? Isn't there something more?" Not once had she mentioned his own safe- ty --not once had she been glad over bine— "Something more?" he re- peated, an ineffable tenderness in his tones—"something—it isn't all, is it?" "Why, how can I say anything more?" she murmured in a lowered voice, withdrawing her hand as the sound of a step in the hall reached her ear. The door swung wide: "Well, what are you two young people quarrelling about?" came a soft purring voice. "We werent quarelling, Aunty. Mr. Breen is so modest he doesn't want anybody to thank him, and I just would." Miss Felicia felt that she had ent- ered just in time. Scarred and penni- less heroes. fresh from battlefields of glory and desirable young women whose fathers have been carried bodi ly out of burning death pits must never he left too long together. CHAPTER XVIII As the weeks rolled by, two ques- tions constantly rose in Ruth's mind: Why had he not wanted her to thank him ?—and what had he meant by— "And is that all?" Her other admirers --and there had been many in her Maryland home— had never behaved like this. Was it because they liked her better than she liked them? The fact was—and she might as well adroit it once for all—that ,Jack did not like her at all, he really disliked her, and only his loyalty to her father and that in- born courtesy which made him polite to every woman he met.—young or old—prevented his betraying himself. She tried to suggest something like this to Miss Felicia, but that young Vllesta1�P 111A M1y t ie l jo oltn-. ors are the ghee t q1' itlelil hey so ighivalro tl#IIt of times they. vett ttirosot/an Breen ie no;' better than the rest of, them," '%'bls hsid ended it with Idles Felieie Nor would aha ever mention his niwse to hoe again. Jack was not tiresome; on the contrary, he was the soul of honor and as brave as he could be— a conclusion quite as illogical as that of her would-be adviser. If she could only have seen Peter, nes' the poor child thought,—Peter under- nesse and to stood—fust as some women not as..a old as her aunt would have under- stood: Dear Uncle Peterl He had at , is s11111111.11.11.11111. s NEW LAMP BURNS 94% AIR he ever was tender, not that she .

The only ray of light that had pierced her troubled heart—and this only flashed for a brief moment -- was the glimpse she had had of Jack's mind when he and her father first met. The boy had called to inquire after his Chief's health and for any instructions he might wish to give, when MacFarlane, hearing the young hero's voice in the hall below, hurried down to greet him. Ruth was lean- ing over the banister at the time and saw all that passed. Once within reach MacFarlane strode up to Jack, and with the look on his face of a man who had at last found the son he had been hunting for all his life, laid his hand on the lad's shoulder. "I think we understand each other, Breen,—don't we?" he said simply, his voice breaking. "I think so, sir," answered Jack, his own eyes aglow, as their hands met. Nothing else had followed. There wits 110 outburst, Both were men; in the broadest and strongest sense each had weighed the other. The eyes and the quivering lips and the lingering hand -clasp told the rest. A sudden light broke in on Ruth. Her father's quiet words, and his rescuer's direct answer came as a revelation. Jack, then, did want to be thanked! Yes, but not by her! Why was it? Why had he not un- derstood? And why had he made her suffer, and what had she done to de- serve it? If Jack suspected any of these heartaches and misgivings, no one would have surmised it. He came and went us usual, passing an hour in the morning and an hour at night with his Chief, until he had entirely recovered his strength—bringing with him the records of the work; the num- ber of feet drilled in a day; cost of maintenance; cubiccontents of dump; extent and slope and angles of "fill" —.all the matters which since his pro- motion (Jack now had Bolton's place) came under his immediate supervis- ion. Nor had any word, passed be- tween himself and Ruth, other than the merest commonplace. He was cheery, buoyant, always ready to help,—always at her service if she took the train for New York or stay- ed after dark at a neighbor's house, when he would insist on bringing her home, no matter how late he had been ftp the night before. If the truth were known, he neither suspected nor 'could he be made to believe that Ruth had any troubles. The facts were that he had given ber all his heart and had been ready to lay himself at her feet, that being the accepted term in his mental vo- cabulary—and she would have none of him. She had let him understand so—rebuffed him—not once, but every time he had tried to broach the sub- ject of his devotion;—once in the Geneseo arbor, and again on that morning when he had really crawled to her side because he could no long- er live without seeing her. The manly thing to do now was to accept the situation: to do his work; look after his employer's interests, read, study, run over whenever he could to see Peter—and these were never -to -be - forgotten oases in the desert of his despair—and above all never to for- get that he owed a duty to Miss Ruth in which no personal wish of his own could ever find a place. She was a- lone and without an e:-cort except her father, who was often so absorbed in his work, or so tired at night, as to he of little help to her. Moreover, his Chief had, in a way, added his daugh- ter's care to his other duties. "Can't You take Ruth to -night--" or "I wish you'd meet her at the ferry," or "if you are going to that dinner in New York, at so-and-so's would you mind calling for her—" so-and-so's, etc. Don't start, dear reader.
