-AN APPLE A DAY
Eat more- fruit and 'keep your skin
Clear would perhaps be an apt slogan
for Canadian fruit growers to adopt.
In this Connection possibly no fruit
would better fill the bill than'apLies,
of which ,'a bulletin issued by the
Fruit Branch of the Department of
Agriculture at Ottawa, entitled "Can-
adian Grown Apples" says, "From a
dietetie standpoint' the most irnpoie-.
ant function of .the apple is that of:
furnishing mineral salts and organic
acids; but it has an important nutri-
tive value as well, furnished by the
carbohydrates ' present. As ;the,frut
ripens starch, changes to sugar;,- The
apple has a medicinal. valise also, 'es-
pecially if eaten at the beginning of
a meal or between meals,". The bul-
letin further remarks that no house
wife should be without a box or
bar-
rel of Canadian growh apples
and
then proceeds to,. give a list of the
varieties that should be used at differ-
ent times as follows:
September — Duehese, Alexander,
Maiden's Blush, St. Lawrence, and
similar varieties,..
October, November, December ---
Gravenstein, Wealthy, iiubbardson,
McIntosh Red, Fameuse, Blenheim,
Ribston and similar varieties.

January, February—Baldwin, King,
Wagoner, Greening, Seek,-Peewaukee,
Ontario, Jonathan, Yellow Newton,

March, April, May—Spy, Golden
Russett, Ben Davis, Stark Fallaweter

shouldn't happen to have the 'var-
ieties at the propertime, eat. any old

DISPLAYS ARE WONDERFUL IN
THE NORTH
Latchford, Ontario.
Sept. 4, 1925.
Dear Editor: I was interested in
your item two weeks ago on the
Northern lights.. We also .had extra
fine displays that week. The shim-
mering fplds are quite common here
in the winter and not rare in the
suinmer. Twice, when a hundred
miles =farther north, at two o'clock in
the°morning I have noticed the faint
emerald light make the Iannd as
bright
t
as the average moonlight night.
Some of your readers might be in-
terested in a few remarks my ears
have gathered. A few years ,ago
there was a controversy.,as to wheth-
er a sound accompanies the display
of the Aurora: Lhave asked, the un-
lettered men who live back in the
-Quiet and several have plainly been
surprised at so, foolish a .question.
They, are sure there is a sound, One
says "sort of a steady swis-h." An-
other says "something "like a little
wind niakes•'in ' dead beaver grass."
,The be-st dr ploy.I ever saw was near
Mattawa in 1912, I 'listened .for
sound and where I'was itwas quiet
enough, There was the sameARsound"
that you can hear on a :clear frosty
night in Huron if you. are away
around the snow banks -of -the river
where even the bark of a (log is dis-
tant. A. Russian officer told me the
Siberian peasants speak of "hearing
•the silence." Sound seems `audible
when "the lights are biiightest. I am
inclined to think it is the action of
the ear in the absence, of sound, the
same' as snakes the roar of waves
heard when a child puts a sea shell
or a lamer .chininey to his ;ear,
.A: farmer from near' Hearst Paid
that the lights were no higher titan
the trees' and. in his yard he could
have touched ,them with a, long pole.
He did not try • it, I think there is
a suspidion that to touch them would
;be fatal. This is probably an echo
of the old old ' Fourth reader where
the men of Flodden said:
"Fearful lights that never, beckon,
Save when'ICings on heroes die."
A Tuan and woman talking ' in
broken English where the Flu was
extra bitter a few years'ago said as
they named over their dedd, "But we
wereready for it. The ,Green Lights
was right oni• the lands • and came in.
41 the windgws many many time but
not on Christmas night' ,? I can not
find that the superstition of.fatal ef-
fects 'f the light touched fe i o d tis is cotn-
g
a:on. I wrote to "John O'Lonclon"
but none of the n•eaders replied with
knowledge of ,a second instance.'
—Yours truly,
FRED SLOMAN.'
(Note: fn Marion Keith's book,
"The Gentleman Adventurer," which
deals with life ' in the Hudson's Bay
Country in the early days'',' reference
is made to the "swish" of the North-
ern Lights. The author seemed to
take for granted that the lights were
accompanied by, . sound. It was the
first intimation that 1 had had that
Such was the case. Ed.) ,

Mrs, McEvoy told in a most earnest

Deur' Folks.—I'tcre`we are, all well,

still at Dr. McCartney's.
This is the first time' I have been
hone since we came down from the.
hills. You see there have been so
many people gone d'otyn:river leaving
their goods all behind,that we have
been busy getting out trunks and sup-
plies. These we have shipped dawn
to them, Some of the people lost al-
nmost'eveiything they had. Mr. Mor-
rison, the mission`builaer, lost -heavily
However with the ;help of the Amer -
kens at the hills we saved a few
boxes of. supplies and clothes,
,Our; great difficulty was to” get car-
riers. The studentsintimidated the
carriers and we couldtnot clear out
the • houses: Every night wanderinil'
soldiers and .roughs broke into the
houses and took off more gdods or de-,
stroyed more furniture.It was heart,
breaking to see the houses after a
night raid. We,have done all we can
to get the officials ,to protect our
Property, but they'refuse,to act.
The people here are quite friendly'
and •conditions are' quite safe but ow-
ing to hard times and poor officials,
there is no : respect for .Canadians.'
The feeling against the British runs
strong and we Come in for our' share.
However, things seem to be improving
but now there is .a report that all
British women andlehiidcen be order-
ed 'out of China. As far as we are
concerned it is not because' of any
danger here, but to give the British a
free hand to carry on any program
they wish We naturally ldo not want
to leave If "the Cheng tu folks go

Today: our boat left for up river so
perhaps.we will soon know what all
our friends up there ere going to do,
We understand all is quiet up there
so they will surely irate to be ordered
