had that look of recognition carne into
his eyes.
Turning the matter over in her
mind, Ruth, as the car went swiftly
southwards,, came to the almost inevit-
able conclusion that the car' and the
fur coat had something to do with this
sudden recognition. '
"The car and the fur coat," she said
to herself, and for a few moments she.
was face to face with something very.
terrible indeed. The car and the fur
coat, at first sight, certainly suggested
the night of the accident. But this
terror only lasted for a little while,
Merr'ington's .calmness was set
against that theory, and it prevailed,
It did not take her long to realize

pened since the accident—those few
seconds when he had seen her stand-,

"His dream," she said to herself,
and she was no longer afraid. Well,
she was content to be that—the lady
of his dream.

The fount of youth discovered by

white streams,tilled with all the
nutrients needed to give you to every

the udder of the humble dairy cow.
✓The diecovery of modern scientists
does not bring the presto changes that
the Spaniard hoped to find in the foun-
tain be aeat'ched for, but they do know
that the regular use of the floid from
the udder of the healthy dairy cow
is a real elixir et youthfulness. Not
only does its constant use keep the
body flinhtioaing with the vigor of
youth, but it restores vitality to those
whose energies have been wasted, and

The Province of Saskatchewan is at
.
the present time exerting every en'
deavor to bring to the atteetlon of the
industrial world the possibilities of its
latent raw resources. Saskatchewan,
producing half of the wheat crop of
the entire. Dominion, having done re.
marleable things in dairying within re-
cent years, and become prominent in
many lines of agriculture, bas attain-
ed to the supi'emest heights in the
farming industry. and is now directing
its attentionto the development of its
industrial raw resources. These are
such as to augur for the province, in
the ;,-fulness of time, an industrial
standing of considerable importance,
Amonget the, probabilities which
Saskatchewan looks to within the next
decade, granted the provision of the
main factor of capital, Tor develop-
ment, is a clay industry furnishing
sixty per cent, of the fire -clay require-

phate and other chemical industries of,
Canada; industries manufacturing
straw board, kraft papers and glass,
as, well as other lesser industries.,
With fifty billions metric tons of
coal located in it comparatively flat
country, with no great difficulties, of
transportation, itis reasonable to as-
sume that in time there will bodis-

the largest chemical plant in Canada

In preparation for this industrial
future which Saskatchewan feels must
inevitably arrive within reasonable
time, the province is preparing, at its
provincial university, technical men,
engineers, chemists, clay experts and
others, who shall be available as fully

time is ripe for their services.
The one handicap to more rapid eco-
