stone, at East Bay, Cape Breton,
which because of its fertilizer value

St. John, N.B,—The cattle shipping
business from the port of St. John
has this year reached its maximum.
since the winter of 1911-12. The total
number- of cattle taken from the port
to date has been 2,821, and .the number
of sheep has been 200. The heaviest
year's, shipments on record are for
the winterseason of 1905-06, when a
total of 33,075 head was shipped.
Quebec, Que.—Greater interest is
being taken by pulp and paper com-
panies in Canada's reforestation prob
lents,as evinced by the'fact that the
Laurentide Company have about 20,-
000,090
0,-000,090 white spring seedlings and
p g' g
transplants in their nursery.; The Can-
adian Forestry Association is also
quite active in this -work, and a recent

large „volume of grain, waiting to be

42 new vessels will be added to the
fleets 'operating on the lakes and can-

leaders in the grain trade believe that
an even heavier movement of. grain in

Winnipeg, Man.—Machinery valued
d
at $40,000 has been bought by the
Manitoba Woollen Mills, Limited, and
on its installation manufacture .,will
commence -immediately. The main
products will be blankets; wool and
mackinaws.. More than 300 Manitoba
farmers are shareholders in the com-
pany, among them many prominent
sheep raisers, who all have sent their
wool crops to the mill.
Regina, Sask.--- Saskatchewan is
second to British Columbia only for
loci infant mortality rate, according to
a statement made at the annual con-
vention of the Saskatchewan Council
of Women. In 1922 the daily average
of births was 61 and for every 1,000
born 105 died under one year of age.
In 1922 the Saskatchewan Government
paid '$6,275 in maternity giants, the
only government of, the American con-
tinent assisting mothers in this way,
it is claimed.
Edmonton, Alta.—Although figures
are not yet available for coal produc-
tion in Nova Scotia, the greatly in-
creased tonnage from Alberta last
year puts this province in the lead as
the heaviest coal producing province
in the Dominion. More coal, was Mined
in Alberta in 1922 than in the year,
preceding by 38,549 tons. The figures
for the year, which have been coin -
piled by the provincial department of
mines, were 5,975,744 tons,. as' com-
pared with 5,937,195 tons in 1921.
Victoria, B.C.—Plans to establish a

Throughout the following day she
could see the searchers passing in
automobiles below her. Her only pro-
tection from the severe cold of - the
hills was a coat belonging to a brutal
Afridi named Shahazada, the man
who : killed her mother.
The next four days were a night-
mare of alternate rave me and hid-
ing, with the girl in an ever growing
state of exhaustion from her physical
efforts and apparently hopeless out-
look.Her feet were• lacerated from
tramping over the' stoney tracks;'''and
once, in the course of the terrible jour-
ney, she fell,, fainting, at the- top of
a snow-covered mountain pass, upon
which Shahazada lost patience" and
drew his dagger to kill her, being re-
strained only by his companions.

The study of the natural re-

ing one. From one season to
another the situation changes.
g
natural resources New are be.
ing discovered, new .mines . are
opening upunforeseen
p g wealth.,..
,
and new conditions of develop-
ment are making use of previ-
ously valueless resources. The.
story of the province's precious
metals, gold'and silver, reads
almost like a fairy tale."In'
1901 Ontario's gold production
was but 11,844 ounces, of a
value of $244,837. In 1922 the
output was 1,000,199 ounces,
valued at $20,674,109. In'1901
Ontario's silver output 'was

put had increased to 9,167,846
ounces, valued at $6,491,971.
The total. value of gold pro-
duction in Ontario -to the end of
1922 was $108,300,000, and of

Insulin and Diabetes.
The value of a new medical discov-
ery is best ratedin the sufferings it
relieves and the lives it saves. Its
value, at its utmostdevelopment, may
be largely potential—as in insulin, the
pancreatic extract used for the relief
of diabetes.
The disease, though widely preva
lent, is obscure in its oriel : andin-
volves a series of chemical maladjust-
ments in the body -too conmplicated, to
be described. Its "effects are familiar
enough and painful enough. Who has
not known some sufferer tortured with
thirst that• cannot be slaked and hun-
ger that cannot be satisfied save at
peril to his very life, wasting away
almost as you watch and dying at last,
after Spartan months or years of rig-
orous dieting, from sheerstarvation,
or in the dreaded diabetic coma?
The diabetic cannot assimilate sugar
and literally is poisoned by sweetness:
Insulin, made from the pancreas of a
sheep, enables the sufferer to burn up
within his own body the sugar pro-
duced from the food he eats. The suc-
cess of the treatment is a strong argu-
ment in favor of the 'medical theory
that it:is'a disorder of the: human pan-
creas that causes the disease.
Dr. F. C. Baiting, of the University
of Toronto, the laboratory worker who
evolved insulin, predicts a steady in
crease in the effectiveness of the treat -1
ment as the biological product is;
brought to perfection. With the pro -1
per caution of a conscientious -investi-
,gator,' he does not say that it will cure
thedisease. :It hasbeen demon trated
s. s ,
however, that it will prolong life, per -I
haps • indefinitely, and some cases,.
treated at Toronto have been dis-1
charged as cured.
The theory of final cure through the,
use of insulin is that it relieves the
struggling pancreas of its work and
gives it a chance to regain itsproper
functions through rest:' The organs' of
the body, unless terribly damaged by
accident or disease, have a remarkable
power of recovery. It is this power
that cures or ameliorates most grave
internal- disorders. The • argument
should hold good for -the pancreas.
Unquestionably insulin is a dis-
covery
b,..
covery °for which the race may be
thankful. It makes the future bright-
er for thousands of sufferers and at
of society on a plane 'above the cut-
throat, high-handed, hard-hearted
basis of utter -selfishness. Unless -na-
tions and- individtials are, eincenee with
each other, they will get nowhere in
least offers "a reasonable hope for the their mutual dealing. Each :wi l' be

sleeve—of spying and prowling for
advantages.
If you are sincere with me, I may
believe what I read in your face.; I
may be • sure that you are what you
seem. ' I shall know that you will tell
rine the truth, though it be to your
own hurt In every- act as in ever
y
word I shall find you genuine,
The ;power of statesmanship,es . '
Gladstone illustrated it or a,Lord Rob-
ert Cecil exemplifies' it in our imme-
diate day, is the power of sincerity;
the blight of politics, as it has been,-
too often shown, is the curse of sly
and evasive dealings, of'eroundabout
trickery, of anything and everything
but candor.
No solid work for public good:. or
private benefit can go forward with
the minds of liars directing it and
their hands on its steering -gear. We
must, whatever the enterprise, have
leaders we can trust. Those who fool
us for their selfish endswill sooner or
later be set down where the belong;
g,
those who stroveenerousl with g Y, hno
mercenary bias in their- zeal, will be
known in time, and remembered affec-
tionately by the race they served. It
may have discouraged the honest to
see how the dishonest were prosper-
ing;
ros er-
p
ing; but at the end the cheaters came
to grief and men, saw them precisely
what they were, and affixed t66 them
their value and their definition.
As the lines are written there comes
to the writer a -printed eulogy of a
public servant in which it is said that
he was a "sincere advocate of all
means of providing , for good ,govern..
ment." What -was meant by the word
"sincere"? Undoubtedly the intention
was to say that this man had no 'u1-
terior_motivein his " effort to secure
an able, clean and honest political ad-
ministration. He sought no profit for
himself. • He did not• say one thing
and mean another; he -kept his prom-
ises; he was true.
It is im-
portantto:be sincere first of
