Went Vifeat Because of Illness In the case of Dr. 'Stanley that is the situation in more ways than one; for he cameewest because he had tuberculosis in the days when the only cure for tuberculosis was plenty of sunshine, plenty of food and- plenty of hope. "Well," said Dr. Stanley, "I found Southern Alberta had plenty of sunshine andI' had a strong stom- ach. towach. And ae for hope, well, they thought I was going to die once,. but that' Was 501 years ago. I got over the idea long ago." For years the Doctor, kept his ail- ment to himself and on one occar• sion it almost backfired. He was sitting on a pile of lumber at High. River enjoying the sunshine, when the, luan'kern. n asked him to iheLp• carry a couple of boards. Dr. State ley refused without giving his rea- eons. ' "Word got around," he smiled, "that the new Dr.. was` about the laziest creature God ever made." Born in Exeter Dr. Stanley was born in Exeter, Ontario, in 1876. He lived all bis young life at St. Marys, Ontario. was graduated from the high school there and from the University, of Toronto medical school in 1901. He was made a life member to the Canadian Medical Association in Halifax. in 1960 and in 1951 was able to put the letters M.D. on his little black bag. When be was graduated fsom the University of Toronto Medical school in 1901 it was with the degree of bachelor of medicine, which then was a dis- tinct degree. To obtain his doctor of medicine degree in 1901 it would be necessary that he write another examination and pay $25. He had neither the time nor the money, so skipped it. • In June of last year, the class. of 1901 were entertained at Toronto's convocation. There were about a dozen members of the class left, and Dr. Stanley wag given this doc- tor of medicine degree.

Stanley is one of Alberta's best known doctors and a cleaner the profession in Canada, and has practiced medicine for 50 years without having his M.D.! He just went East last July to pick up this degree! Never Had His M,D. Those years have led Slim to. leadership in his field and 'Cana- dian citizenship generally, but he's never been able to th.ang out a shin- gle like other doctors because he's never had an M:D. handy to put after his name. It seems rather odd that a man should be in the profession for that length of time without the degree that identifies. it today, but then lots of odd things happened• to those horse -and -buggy era doctors. • Dr. Stanley *kept pace with the times, but when you sit in his com- fortable Calgary home, it 'doesn't take long to figure out that this cheerful man in the smoking jack- et acket and slippers would be just as much at ease on the seat of a bug- gy, driving a spirited, high-stepping team of blacks.

He bought a car before anybody thought of licensing them. When he got his first license in 1916 it was No. 6 and he has had it ever since. He received the license personally from the provincial secretary of the day who told him he was lucky in numbers. If he was ever in trou- ble for speeding all he had to do. was turn the plate upside down and he'd !lave No. 9.

Some of the boys were just as wild and irresponsible as the unbroken .bronchos they had to ride "and there were others who handled the bronchos just as well and yet were as responsible and dependable as meg could be. Many of the yarns deal only with the former group whose escapades have provided the present generation with many good laughs but were a 'pain in the neck' to the steady set- tlers of their own genetation. The recognized procedure was to get to the old hotel as often as possible, preferably at the week -end, ride into the bar on 'horseback; drink their beer, 'in status quo', with the horses noses right up on the bar. Dr. Stanley' goes on to say that his initial education regarding cow- boys and round -ups and ranching, sodbusters and agriculture in gen- eral was gained listening to what went on in the sitting room at Mrs. Robertson's •boarding house. Those were the days when homesteaders were coming in by the hundreds to file on homesteads. To the other boarders who sat in large .chairs with their. feet in high top riding boots lodged on the ring of the stove, away up h'gh on its corpora- tion, those 'sodbusters' were just a part of a terrible plague which cow -punchers had to endure every so often . These 'sod'busters' had the habit of planking their outfits down on perfectly good grazing land and sticking up quantities of barbed wire all over the prairies. This I ter fell down and entangled the 11 later of horses and cattle who were legitimately trying to use the grass God had provided for them. To the cowpunchers it was an old story they had lived through be- fore, and this present outbreak was simply another spasm, which would have to be endured but would end in disaster for the 'sodbusters.' A doctor's life then, as now, was never his own. ,On the day of his marriage to the former Miss Annie Colvin of Hamilton, Ont., on Nov. 11, 1903, he had to leave the re- tool-tar/I.& e- i t BULL.& BRYANS Veterjnary Clinic J.

He was Conservative mem- ber of the Alberta legislature from 1913 to 1921, member of Parliament for Calgary East from 1930 to (Continued from Page 2') Blue Weed, Mulled" and' Hawk- weed. awkweed. Although cattle 7say be grazing on this \t ie of land, they prefer Braes to 'weeds. Hence the weeds are not ei bjected to the severe grazing that the grasses re- ceive. Therefore to control thew weeds and others emit as Thistle, Ragweed, Chicory and Wild Carrot he recommends that they be spray ed, before •blooming, with hee pounds of 2,4-11 acid per acre. Mr. Faille adds that there is an- other type of pasture which is workable, but for econoaleic or 80- cial • reasons, has .been allowed to revert to ranchland. This partiour lar type is being over -run by ',head trees — prineapally Hawthorn- and in time wilt: be of little use for anything. In making suggestions for removal of these trees, with the atd of chemicals Mr. Fallis points out that dead trees do not get any larger or reproduce them- selves. hemselves. Also when dead for a •year or more, they are much more easily removed than when alive. For con- trol of brush under two feethigh, he suggests wetting the trees thor- oughly, using 32 ounces of acid ester type 2,4-D in 100 gallons of water. This can be done during the weed spraying operations. However, for larger trees there are two methods. The first which is rather costly is to apply one pound of Sodium Chlorate to the base of each tree. This should be 'done in the late fall—after the cat- tle have been taken, off the pas- ture. This is to allow time for the material to get leached down, out of the reach of the cattle, to avoid poisoning. This operation coats about lOc per bush. The second method Mr. Fallis ad- vises Is cheaper and gives more satisfactory results. It is known as the Dorinant Basal Bark Spray. The magic outcome was a winner for the new doctor. and the entire community soon beard all about it. The second case was that of a well-known character, stock detec- tive Jackson, who presented him- self to have a couple of teeth ex- tracted.
