•'A Story of Intense Suffering and
Relief.
"Do I recommend Dr. WilliamsPink
Pills? you may believe I do," says
Mr,
Joh L Jamieson, of Walla,oe-
burg, Ont.
"For five years I suffered day and
night from neuritis. The agony was ter.
rible. I lost control et my arm and
shoulder and my hand became shriv-
eled. Nothing helped me till I began
taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Even
then the improvement was slow and I
took ten coxes before I was on the
way to recovery. After that, though,
relief was rapid. My hand gradually
filled out; the pain left me and I could
Bleep in peace, That was two years
ago and have not had a twinge of

Sufferers from neuritis, neuralgia
or rheumatism should try the common -
method of banishing these trou-
bles by enriching the blood and
strengthening the nerves with Dr.
:Williams' Pink Pills. These Pills are

Extreme Sunburn
Should Be Avoided.
Washington.—Extreme sunburn, in-
vestigators of the Public Service warn,
'should be avoided just as much as
•the benefits of exposure to sunlight
should be sought. Prolonged or sud-
den exposure may be injuriou, where-
as a few simple precautions may make
reasonable exposure highly beneficial.
For cases of excessive sunburn they
suggest a remedy which can be made
easily at home.
"Take one-half pint of hot water and
stir into a level tablespoonful of
boric acid powder; then add twenty
drops of carbolic acid and shake well.
,The solution should be dabbed on the
inflamed skin with a small piece of
cotton or sprayed on with an atomizer.
It should not be rubbed into the skin.
It can be applied every half hour, if
necessary. If no medicine is avail-
able, cold compresses will give relief
to badly burned areas."
For giving sun baths to children
'who receive even greater benefits than
adults from sunlight, the following
suggestions are made:
"Exposure to the sun must be grad-
ual or else the child may receive a
sinburn.
At first give the baby direct sun-
light for about ten minutes; increase
this bath from three to five minutes
,daily until he receives exposure one
hour in the morning and one hour
in the afternoon. This will vary, de-
pending on how the skin reacts to the
exnosure.
Nit "Be litre that the exposure Is car-
ied on. in some spot sheltered from,
the yrind. e•
rr "SIM -laths may be given on In-
closed porches or in the house, pro-
vided the sun can shine on the child
'unobstructed by glass.
"Certain special kinds of glass have
been devised which permit the pas-
sage of the majority of the beneficial
rays of the sun. Such glass may be
used if desired."
Adults, it was suggeeted, might pro-
fitably observe similar precautions.
,9uality of Apples
Essential to Trade
• "If you advertise and get people to
ask tor Canadian apples, and then
rwhen they ask for them they are
Shown scrubby, inferior fruit,—that is
!absolutely detrimental."
Words of wisdom felt from the lips
of L Forsyth Smith, Overseas Fruit
;Trade Commissioner for the Govern-
ment of Canada, when he was con -
suited on the future of Canada's rdp•
!Isle trade.
Mr. Smith speaks whereof he knows
when he talks of selling apples, for
he has watched over the interests of
,Canadian apple shippers in Great
Britain, and the Continent for fifteen
years.
"British to The Core." "Look For
The Red Maple Leaf," and the other
catch -phrases that advertise Canadian
apples In Great Britain has supple-
mented the good. work of the Empire
cMarketing Board in popularizing Can-
adian apples, Mr. Smith said. At
sipresent 20,000 of the most enter-
'prisieg retail shops in Great Britain
tisplayed the crimson Maple Leaf
te
sign that meant Canadian apples
• ttivere for sale. But more than ad-
mertising was needed to sell apples,
be Fruit Commissioner recalled.
• Mr, Smith quoted the words of a
Scandinavian apple buyer. "We oat
' apples with our eyes." There was a
'great truth In it, he said, a truth that
could not be too much impressed on
growers, packers and shippers 'of
pganadian apple. Color and quality

Prehistoric Man's Original Home
Declared to Have Been in Africa
Beloit, Wis.—The theory that "some-
where in Africa will be found the
Centre of •dispersal of the human
species," is held to by Prof, Alonzo
W. Pond, of Logan 1i/fuse:an, at Beloit
College here, as the result of evidence
collected during the last five years on
archaeological expeditions sponsored
by Dr. Frank G. Logan of Chicago,
vice-president o fthe Chicago Art In-
stitute and founder of Logan Museum.
Professor Pond recently returned
from his 1930 expedition, on which he
was accompanied by 14 students of
Beloit College, TJniversity of Wiseon-
I sin, University of Minnestota and
Northwestern University, Results
were accomplished which Nevoid have
taken 10 years by systems formerly
used, and at a cost of but three times
that of previous expeditions, he said.
"The most convincins. proof that
Africa may be known as the birth-
place of man," Professor Pond said, "is
the unlimited quantities of prehistoric
tools found on the continent. Nowhere
• in the world are such tremendous
quantities of prehistoric stone tools
found. Stone tools characteristic' of
the Chellean and Acheulian cultures,
oldest evidence of man's ability to
make tools, are found in South Africa
by the carload. Later cultures are
also found In tremendous quantities
and in North Africa habitation sites
occupied by men of -the old stone age
are counted by hundreds. All this
must •indicate a tremendous prehis-
toric population which, taken with
other evidence, is strong proof that
somewhere in Africa a centre of die-
persal will be discovered."
Professor Pond has formulated the
theory that prehistoric man crossed•
the Sahara thousands of years ago
and on reaching the Sahara Atlas or
northern boundary, moved eastward
and westward until he came to passes
or openings in this lenge which led
to the high plateau of northern Africa,
which was a land favorable to his de-
velopment.
"There are at present certain dry
river valleys and chains of oases
which undoubtedly were very fertile
areas thousands of Years ago. These
areas were followed by prehistoric
man in his migration across the Sa•
hara for it is near these present oases
and river valleys that prehistoric
stone tools are collected. It is not
pure hypothesis to say that these river
valleys and chains of oases were more
fertile in prehistoric times."
The expedition this year thofoughly
explored four habitation sites declared
to be 25,000 years old, sifting an aver-
age of 2440 feet of prehistoric ashes
per day. Of 360,000 fragments of flint
found, 36,000 showed they had been
used by prehistoric man.
"No implements of warlike nature
were found. This would indicate that
these ancient inhabitants of the higb
plateau of North Africa were peace-
ful nomad hunters, who lived largely
on snails and such animals as they
could catch with snares."
All the material collected is divided
equally between the Government Mu-
seum at Algiers and the Logan Mu-
seum.

Is Baby Teething? • Gazetted Commander
,Teething time is a time of worry to
most mothers. The baby is nervous;
fretful; feverish. His little gums are
swollen and sore; diarrhoea, constipa-
tion, colic and sometimes convulsions
set in—neither baby nor mother can
sleep.
These troubles can be -quickly ban-
ished, however, through the use of
Baby's Own Tablets, concerning which
Mrs. Louis Grubb, Teeswater, Ont.,
says:—"I have used the Tablets for all
my babies while teething and have
found them a splendid medicine."

The Peat Reek
(The British Pharmaceutical Confer-
ence at Cardiff has, just been informed
that the face powder of the future will
be made from "diatomaceous earth,"
a peaty deposit which, as a basis for
cosmetic preparations, will be "far
superior to rice and starch.")
Belinda, my dear, your complexion
Has not been correctly bestowed --
I cannot escape the reflection
That somehow, you're not a la mode.
You may think my query ungracious,
But really you need some advice—
My dear, are you diatomaceous,
Or merely well powdered with rice?
I beg you, in point of aesthetics,
To keep yourself bang up-to-date;
Avoid the old-fashioned cosmetics
Affected by females of late.
If the subsoil is freckled or sandy
You need a top -dressing of peat—
() do keep a bucketful handy
And dive in it daily, my sweet!
G look upon peat as your passion,
Apply it for all you are worth!
For cheeks that are truly in fashion
Rely upon kind Mother Earth!
Starch stifles and rice overreaches.
Their day is now over and past:
But Perkins' Pink Pcat for Pale
Peaches
Will purchase perfection at last!

Animals Grossly •
Libelled by Humans
To attribute to aniinals all the worst
qualities of human nature has long
been of of our human customs.
"Cross as a bear;" "deceitful as a
cat;" "greedy as a pig;" "stubborn as
a mule," have long been comparisons
on our lips, We might just as well
say that a faithfulwolf mate was as
"unfaithful as a man;" that a generous
dOg had 'suddenly become as "greedy
as a miser;" that a goal -natured cat
had acted as "spiteful.as a jealous wb.
man;" or that a horse had become as
"stubborn as a fanatic;" that an ani-
mal mother had become as "ruthless
as a wild -cat stock salesman,"
Dean Inge says on the subject:
Why do we persist in likening evil
and disagreeable people to animals

Rainbows Do Not
Have Seven Colors
Rainbows ought to contain seven
colors but it is doubtful, say weather
experts of the Taylor Instrument
Company of Rochester, New York,
whether anyone ever saw all of them.
The division into seven colors; red,
orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and
violet; is that proposed by Sir Issac
Newton many years ago for the divi-
sion of colors in the spectrum peo-
duced when a beam of white light Is
broken up by a glass prism. The
falling raindrops responsible for the
rainbow ought; in theory, to break up
white sunlight in this same way,
giving the full series of spectatun
colors. In actual fact, however, 'the
colors often overlap in rainbows, sol
that some of them cancel each other;
It may happen that the centsal part
of the arched rainbow strip is almost
colorless because of this overlapping
and cancelling of the colors. TWO or
more rainbows may be formed side
by side, may overlap, and thus destroy
still further the theoretical perfection
of seven colors. Another cause of
rainbow imperfection is that Colors
near the blue end of the spectrum
frequently are faint in the bows, so
that the ordinary eye misses them al-
together or fails to separate the blue,
indigo and violet as different tints.
Most actual rainbows impress the eye
of the ordinary observer ar consist-
ing of red, orange and yellow bands,.
sometimes with the addithnt of a
rather faint and indefinite bluish
green. It would be interesting to
know whether anybody ever has ob-
Served a full, perfect rainbow with all
of the seven colors called for by phy-
sical theory.

White Spruce
Leading Our
Commercial Trees
Most important and Most
Widely Distributed of
Dominion's Commercial
Species •
White spruce is the most important
as well as one of the most widely dis-
tihnted commercial tree species in
Canada, It is found from the Maritime
Provinces to British Columbia, and as
far north as the mouth of the Mack-
enzie river within twenty miles of the
Arctic ocean. It is one of the most
northerly growing of Canadian trees.
The white spruce is one of five native
spruces. It is estimated by the Forest
Service of the Department of the In-
terior that the total spruce stand, all
species, in Canada is about 60,000,-
000,000 cubic feet of timber, or about
35 per cent. of the total softwood
stand. The estimate of white spruce
is about, 20,000,000,000 cubic feet, or
one-third of the total spruce timber
standing.
For its weight, white spruce is one
of the strongest of Canadian woods. It
is stronger than woods approximately
its own weight, such as the white pine,
and it possesses nearly the same rela-
tive strength, weight for weight, as
the Douglas fir, one of the heaviest
and strongest of Canada's woods. It
has a fine, even grain, works easily
under tools, is not prone to split, and
has exceptional nail -holding qualities.
In color the wood is white, odorless,
and comparatively non -resinous, quali-
ties which make it valuable for the
manufacture of food containers, such
as butter boxes.
White spruce probably forms the
greater part of the spruce lumber on
the market, and its use has increased
in recer.t years with the growing scar-
city of white pine. It is used in great-
est quantities by the manufacturers of
building materials. Large quantities
are used for siding, flooring, and roof
sheathing, as well as fox he manu-
facture of sash, door, and house trim-
mings. It is one of the leading woods
in millwork of all kinds. Up to 1926
spruce ranked firsc in the amount at
lumber produced annually, and it now
ranks second only to Douglas fir. The
average annual cut of spruce lumber
is approximately 1,180,000,000 feet B.
M. with a value of $32,000,000.
The long, tough, almost colorless
fibres of white spruce may be easily
separated because of the comparative-
ly non -resinous nature of the wood.
For this reason and because of its
wide distribution, it has become the
leading Canadian pulpwood. Some
3,439,651 cords, with a value of $43,-
245,062; were used in manufacture of
paper pulp in Canadian mills in 1928.
Spruce comprises from 65 to 75 per
cent. of the total pulpwood cut in Can-
ada. The total value of the cut of
spruce lumber and pulpwood in 1928
(latest figures available), was $71,-
296,384. This amounts to approxi-
mately 35 per cent. of the estimated
value resulting from forest products.
The white spruce in our forests oc-
curs in pure stands, but is often mixed
with red and black 4pruce, tamarack,
birch and poplar. It makes its best
growth on well -drained; moist, gravel-
ly soil, but is not exacting, for we find
it in the forest, growing on rocky
slopes, and on borders of lakes and
streams. It reproduces itself well
under favorable conditions, particu-
larly where the mil conditions are
such that the seed can readily come in
contact with it, and where the over-
head shading is not too intense. It is
one of our most valuable trees and
well worth any efforts we make to
maintain it in our forests by protec-
tion from fire, insects, decay, and
wasteful cutting.
"It's just the old problem of distri-
bution. There's enough idleness for
everybody, but the wrong people have
it.
