new Sargon as real triumph
a Science.
"Up to a few years ago I practiced
-any profession in Seattle, ` Washing-

practice, 'On account of poor health
I was forced to retire,
"For four years .iny strength and
vitality declined. steadily. I travelled
from place to place in search of
health but continually grew worse,
"The Sargon Treatment completely
restored my health. The way it res-
tored my energy and vitality is noth-

6'Fhites of Eggs and Santa, Cooked Inc
Old Mau Sun.
Ou the outskiria of a village in
Central Atria, there once lived a lit-
tle black boy named Mugge. One day
his mammy sent hirn to buy some
eggs and sugar from Cltunda, an old
black woman a izc kept a little strop.
Anti off she packed him with a big
straw basket.
lettingo bought the eggs and sugar
and was walking home when he saw
a little monkey swinging on a tree
ixet.rby and making tacos Int hinr..
That was teo remelt!
Quito forgetting that his basket
contained eggs, Mungo started run-
ning after him, but the monkey
swung himself from brs ueb to Marton
and tree to tree, easily keeping )tit
of Muego's reaeh, finally he climb-
ed to the top of a tall palm and threw
clown cocoanuts on Mungo's head!
Bump! Bump!
Then Mungo suddenly.remembered.
his basket and turned to run cut of
his way, but alas! when he looked
at the eggs he found that his run-
ning had already broken every one.
The yolks had Hopped out of the bas-
ket somehow or other, awl only the
white remained, and they were all
mixed up with the 'sugar.
"Oh, dear," sobbed Mungo, and,
paying. no more attention to the.
mocking monkey, he went home to
tell his mammy.
"Great snakes; Mungo!" said his
mammy, when she saw the basket.
"What's dis?" And there in the bot-
tom lay a lot of little white heaps.
At last he and his mummy plucked
up courage and tasted them. Oh, they
were good—those whites of eggs and
sugar cooked by old man Sun!—and
that, so it is said, is how the first
meringues were made.

fore y -our eyes, would you be able to
discover the sex of the owner by
examining that band? •
The size and shape of the hand;
and the slenderness or otherwise of
the fingers, would scarcely *afford rut-
ficient data for a correct Ibtigrnent.
Many men, especially when they are
devotees of the arta or sciences, often
possess hands that are small and
delicately shaped. with slim' fingers,
like those of a woman. On the other
eland, worsen who have to do rough
work of any kind may possess heads
that look like those of a man.
But there is one test in this con-
nection that rarely fails, according to
investigations recently made by the
University of Toronto. The first fin-
ger of a woman's hand is almost al-
ways Langer than her third., while the
first finger of a. man's hand is likely
to be shorter.
The explanation tor this probably
goes back to primitive times, When
mankind was evolving slowlyout of
ape -like. creatures.: Ths male hand
was then used for powerfully grasp-
ing the, limb of a tree or the handle
of a weapon, which would strengthen
and lengthen the third finger — the
centre finger of the grasp.
Women, on the other hand, would
use their fingers in that distant era
for picking seeds from the ground.
or handling small domestic toois,
which would develop chiefly the first
finger of the band—From Pearson's

Years of Civic Life,
One thousand years, old --and right

boast of Ilarnstaple, the first borough
in England to eoiebrate lis iniileuary.
The eeisbratlons reached their cul-
minating point this summer, but
Barnstaple will have a pee marten , re-
minder of there, and of its comple-
tion of 1,000 years of civic lite,. 14

it says it did—tile ebartez' cannot.pe

tury.
It is to that fact that the citizens
point as evidence of their claire to be
the oldest English borough, For in
the reign of Edward III. Barnstaple
managed to convince the monarch
that'.Athelstan had granted it a char-
ter, though it had, unfortunately,
been lost. Under this charter they
had been given' the right to choose
a. mayor • and to sendnrepresentatives
to the WIterragemot.
On the strength of this etaternent
Barnstaple was allowed to send re-
presentatives to Parliament, and did
so until, 1885.
But this, of _course, doesn't prove
that the town had ever possessed the
charter it claimed -- it merely sun-
geets that, if they were liars; the
t good people of thirteenth century
Barnstaple were convincing liars.
Of the antiquity of Barnstaple,
however, there is no doubt. And
whatever we may thunk , about its
charter, - and therefore about its
claim to be the oldest of English
boroughs, there is one incident in .ita.
history that requires a lot of beating.
One Sunday a party of Hugenot
refugees—French Protestants exiled
from their homes for the sake of re-
ligion -- came ashore at Barnstaple.
The citizens 'welcomed them with
open arms, fed them, and gave them
houses of their own and a chapel to
worship in:
Through Services Olin Now Be Run
Over the Furka Pass.
A new railway has been built in
Switzerland and is now open for "traf-
de. The new line runs over the Furka
Pass and connects Zermatt and w7isp
to the Oberalp Railway lines, so that
through services can now be run. As
the Furka pass is one of the highest
in Switzerland—it is nearly 8,000
feet above sea level-onecan imag-
ine some of the difficulties' the.t had
to be faced during the conssuetion
of the railway. Tunnelling is- one ob-
vious solution, and on the Jura -Simp-
son Railway and the St. Gothard line
Swiss ` engine¢rs have constructed the
two greatest railway' tunnels in the
world.
But for steep slopes in Switzerland
extensive use has been made of the
rack railway system. On this type
of line the engine is provided with a
toothed, cog -wheel 'that engages witn.
a toothed -rack on the track, which
thusenables the l000motive to obtain

At Wirksworth County Court a

EARLY TRADE COMPETITION.

Developed In 15 A.D.
That Britain's present dithenities
over the question of "protection or
free trade" are nothing new, appears
tp be borne out by excavations. at
Colchester, first city of. England,
where evidences of "dumping" from
Gaul as early at 15 A..D. have bel
found.
The excavations, which are sup-
ported by the principal learned bod-
ies = of England, are revealing that a
more 'highly organized community
existed at the capital of Cymbeline
before the Roman conquest than had
been generally recognized, and that
Roman luxuries were rather general-
ly held by commoners as well as the,

A. new death ray has been invented
for the destruction of insect pests.

'•,,y the havoc which grubs, caterpil-
lars, and green -11y wrought in his
garden that he determined to wage
scientific war against them, By
means of 'an ordinary accumulator
connected to spedial coils, he has
been able to produce a ray which
wipes out insectmarauders by the
thousand.
Al. a demonstration, he touched
the leaves of plants infested with
green -fly with a" f orked copper wand
attached to his apparatus. The leaves
were unharmed, but the insects were
killed instantly.
Copper Production.
.A new all -three record for copper'
production was attained by Canada
in 1939, when hermines gave up
248,130,760 pounds of the metal.
Finally revised figures or the Bureau
of Statistics show this as an increase
of 22 per emit. over the 1928 produc-
tion. 202,696,046 pounds, while the
value of last year's production, at
$43;415,251, was greater by 52 per
cent. then the $28,598,249 valuation
of the preceding year's outptit,

Canada's gold production in 1925
again established a new high record

MINBRAL SALTS
A properly -balanced diet will pro-

Ur
vide the r quir�ed proteins, carbohy-
drates, fats vitainins, water and min-
erals, In der to fluke sure of hay-
ing such a balanced diet, it is necess-
ary that we use a wide variety of
foods.
The most common error in select-
ing a diet is in not using a sufficient
quantity or variety of vegetables and
fruits. Green leafy vegetables and
fresh fruits should be 'used daily.
They are rich in vitamins which are
required for the regulation of the
body processes, and they also supply,
in large measure, the minerals which
the body requires.;
The minerals enter into the com-
position of all the tissues, forming
about six per cent of the body. weight.
They are necessary for the proper
nutrition of all the tissues and for
the building up of strong bones and
teeth.'
Calcium` is the mineral used most
extensively by the . body; it is the
body; it is the chief constituent of
bones and teeth. It is present in ab-
undance in cabbage, lettuce, water-
cress, Brussels sprouts and onions: 1
Sodium is abundant in apples, To:the Editur av all thirn

Minerals are present in varyingam-
ounts in a wide variety of foods, but,
as we have shower, an adequate supply
of minerals is secured by those who
include fruits and vegetables in their to shpind the day wid us, an to bring
diet each day, the kiddies wid thim,
The minerals present in fruits and
vegetables are in what is called the
organic form, which is the form best
suited for their ingestion into the
body for its use. The best way to
pssoclAf 5gt*,rRE7a�..
obtain the minerals we need is by
the properselection• of foods, not by
the use of drugs.
It is not to be denied that many
persons apparently thrive on diets to
which they give no attention. In'
many of such cases, however, a wide
variety of food is used, and so a bal-
anced diet is secured. The point is
however, that most • individuals would
enjoy a greatermeasure of health if
they were to give some thought to
what they 'eat.
It is not suggested that we become
food 'faddists, but simply that it is
worth while to use milk, green leafy
vegetables and fresh fruits daily. Such
a diet will not cure all the illsof man-
kind, but it will result in better health
for•inore people and will, at the same.
time, increase rather than diminish
the pleasure. of the meals.
