'THE 'FUR TRADE AND FOREST
FIRES
That the forest fires of recent years
offer the gravest menace to the Do-
minion's fur trade which is now
threatened with virtual extermina-
tion is the gist of a report made by
the Fur Trade Commissioner of the
Hudson's Bay Company to the Can -
Mian Forestry Association. The
burning of forests not alone kills
numbers of animals but drives them
to less accessible regions for their
maintenance.
HURON NOTES
—A horse belonging to Mr. Thos.
Cameron, attached to a cutter, ran
away Saturday afternoon in Exeter.
The horse was being driven by Mas-
ter James Connor on Andrew Street
and at the school corner it was
frightened by some children. It ran
down Andrew Street and turned at
-Dr. Sweet's corner. On turning onto
Main Street it ran into a couple of
-other cutters and. for a short piece
took to the sidewalk. It turned a-
gain at Dignan's bleckemith shop and
came around to the Jemes Street
church shed which it entered. ,The
cutter was minus the cushions and
-was somewhat broken.
—During hockey practice in Exeter
on Thursday evening last, Mr. Ed.
Anderson had the misfortune to have
iris left leg broken. During a rash
be tripped and fell and went up a-
gainst the board at the side with
such force as to fracture a botfe in
his leg. Be;was carried from the
ice and was taken to Dr. Graham,
where he received medical .attention.

HIS KIDNEY TROUBLE
That's Why Another Man Recoiw.
Mends Dodd's Kidney Pills to
Other Sufferers.
Mr. Eugene Provencher wants Every-
one to know the Benefit he received
from Dodd's Kidney Pills.
St. Julien, Wolfstown, Que., Feb.
26th. (Special);—"It is with great
pleasure that I tell you how much my
health has improved since taking
Dodd's Kidney Pills. They have done
me a great amount of good. For a
year I suffered from kidney affection
and now L am quite well." This
statement comes from Mr. Proven -
cher, a well-known resident here.
Dodd's Kidney Pills act directly on
the -kidneys, strengthening them so
that they do their hill work of strain-
ing all the impurities; all the seeds
of disease, out of the blood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are known all
over Canada as a standard kidney
remedy. They have made their repu-
tation by doing good to people who
suffer from any form of kidney di-
sease.

HOW TOMBS DERE ROBBED
1000 B. C.
Not often is it given to the 20th
century A.D. to glance into the law
ccurts of 3,000 years ago and to
watch the process of a cause celebre
of 1,000 B.C. And yet this is what
the Mayer Papyri, which have lain
in the Liverpool free public museums
fdr over half a century, enable us to
do. In themselves they are unattrac-
tive looking objects, especially the
larger of the two, that known as
Mayer A., which was covered years
ago on both sides with a semi -trans-
parent paper in order to hold it to-
gether. The writing on this papyrus
is very cursive, and in parts extreme-
ly difficult to decipher.
Both contain reports of trials deal-
ing with thefts from royal tombs and
elsewhere. The tombs of the Phar-
oahs in and near the Valley of the
Tombs of the Kings, where Lord
Carnarvon has just made his as-
tounding discovery, must always have
offered, with their concealed treas-
ures, a tempting prey to plunderers,
who did not stop short at sacrilege,
and we now know that the early kings
of the XVIIIth Dynasty '(1580 to
1350, B.C.) kere already being fur-
tively robbed before the end of the
dynasty.
In the XXth Dynasty (1200 to 1100
B.C') things had reached such a pitch
that a definite campaign was initiat-
ed by the government against the
tomb -robbers- Numerous trials were
held, full reports of the proceedings
were made and tiled. A section of
those reports came to light somewhere
in Egypt—we know not where—in the
ai ties, and found its way through
the antiquity dealers into the hands
of the- various museums, chiefly in
England. Thus the Abbott Papyrus
in the British Museum records show,
in the sixteenth year ..of • Ramese IX.
(about 1126' B.C.) an inspection was
made of certain tombs reported to
have been violated, and it was .dis-
covered that all were intact save that
of King Sebekemsaf, of the XIII th
Dynasty. Another papyrus, the Am-
herst, contains the confession of the
thieves who robbed this Wirth, and
ever stripped the mummies of the
king and queen of their bindings in
the search for gold.
To this group of documents and to
about the same date belong the two
Mayer Papyri. Mayer A contains
abstracts of the reports of a number
of accused persons and other witness-
es The method of examination
seems to have Included a prelimin- i
ary bastinado.' Thus we read case
after ease like the following: "The',
artisan, Themenary, was brought in,
he was examined by beating with a
stick, and was made to take an oath
not to speak falsehood. They said to
him: "What have you to say?" He
said: "i saw nothing." He was a-
gain examined with the stick and
plated in confinement. The last of
the thirteen pages of which the pap-
yrus consist contains a list of_ per-
sons accused and imprisoned, toga" er
apparently, with their wives, and
gives a fate of some of them. Seven

leased, and nineteen were imprison.

sion of a thief. At the beginning we

The town planning division of th
Canadian' National Parks Branch df
the department of the Interior points
out that `tate zoning df cities becomes
obligatory in Great Britain during
the, present year. In the United
more than one hundred cities have
adopted zoning regulations and a
number of Canadian cities are als
moving in this direction- because
"zoning stabilizes property values"
and reduces the cost of civic gov-
ernment.
The zoning of cities has for its
purpose the direction of the future
building development of the ,city a-
long orderly lines and this in the in-
terest of all the phases of city life
—commerce, industry and residence.
Tht cost of ,jumble building ori the
poral aide is the des[ ction of the
economic efficiency, h pines and
life of the people an the creation
of social disorder, disease and discon-
tent. When alums develop they cre-
ate the gravest and most expensive
problem of communal life. In an un -
zoned city the houses of the well-to-
do are usually protected from jumble
building by private restrictions,
though these restrictions become less
and less operative and effective with
the changes in property ownership.
The dwellings of the poor are often
robbed of their light and air and
pleasant surroundings and degener-
ate into slums which become the
disease spots of the city. Hospitals
and prisons have to be built and
maintained at the public cost to deal
with the ill effects of bad city build•
ing.
The distinct business side of zon-
ing brings illumination to the fact
that an unzoned city is constantly
lowering the assessment value of
property and thus decreasing the
civic income and increasing general
taxes. An industrious family man
invests $5,000 of his life savings in
a home. The property is valued at
$10,000 and the home owner obtains
a loan on the recognized security of
50 per cent. margin in value. As
5505) as the transaction is completed
the owner finds that an undesirable
industry is opened' up next door—this
through lack of zoning regulations.
The home value of the citizen's pro-
perty immediately drops to $7,500 be-
cause the home environment has been
changed for the worse. The home
owner immediately loses $2,500, i,e.,'
50 per cent. of his life savings. The
loan company loses 50 per cent. of
its margin of security and the city
loses 25 per cent. of the assessed
value lot the property because it is
immediately called upon to reduce its
assessment by that amount. The
cost of zoning the city might roughly
be stated as one -twentieth of elle per
cent. of the assessed values involved.
"UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" STILL
GOING STRONG AFTER ALL
THESE YEARS
The recent death of Mrs. Amy
Stone at eighty-six, at her home in
Brooklyn, called up recollections of
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" in the minds of
veteran theatregoers, for Mrs. Stone
was reputed to have played. Little
Fva in the first production of this
familiar drama.
Many changes and vicissitudes
have come upon "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
in the life span of the youngest of
its players, but those who may sur-
mise that the old drama is dead have
another guess coming.
At least twelve "Uncle Tom's
Cabin" companies are still on the
road, according to good authority,
and each season sees scores of spor-
adic productions under canvas in
small towns or in halls under the
auspices cif community players.
Colored entertainers have had
cause to bless "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
as it has given employment to many
who might have found no other field
for their talents, says an interview in
the New York Tribune. To -day, with
a wide and increasing vogue for
colored musical shbws of the "Shuffle
Along" stamp, there is more call for
colored actors than ever before in
stage history.; But "Uncle Tom" still
gives employment to many. Uncle
Toms and Topsies and Chloes and
Sambos and euimbos are not the
only opportunities offered to colored
persons. There are minor characters
if the production is at all pretentious,
and then there is usually a colored
band which helps materially toward
drawing people to the big show.
Some of the larger producers, like
Stetson and the Rials, made a great
deal of money from the show, and
their names to a production were
guarantees of real bloodhounds,
passably good ice and not indifferent
acting.
The scheme of having two Topsies
and two Markses was one of the
happy hits in connection with "Uncle
Tom's Cabin" production. For a
while it was hard sledding for the
company that advertised only a single
Topsy and one Lawyer Marks.

Sweet. Home," played when he was

A MOTHER'S; HEALTH
NEEDS GREAT CARE
Care of Home and Children Often
Causes a Breakdown.
The woman at home, deep in house.
hold duties and' the care of mother-
huad, needs occasional help to keep
her in good health. The demands up-
on a mother's health are many and
severe. Her own. health trials and
her children's welfare exact heavy
tolls, ,while hurried 'meals, broken
rest and much indoor living tend to
weaken her constitution. No wonder
that the woman at home is often in-
dispoaed through weakness, . head-
aches, backaches and nervousness.
Too many women -have grown to ac-
cept these visitations as a part of
the lot of motherhood. But many
•and varied as her health troubles are,
the cause is simple and relief at
hand. When well, it is the woman's
good blood that keeps her well; when
ill she must make her blood rich to
renew her health. The nursing mo-
ther more than any other woman in
the world needs rich -blood and plenty
of it. There is one way to get this
good blood so necessary to perfect,.
Keith, and that is through the use
of, Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs.
W. T. Riley, -R. R. No. 1, Apple Hill,
Out., has proved the great value of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to mothers,
and tells her story as follows:—"Two
years ago, after the birth of my boy,
I became very weak and run down.
Gradually I lost weight and energy
until I was unable to do my house-
work. I could not sleep, my nerves
wculd twitch and jump so that I a-
rose in the morning with heavy
aching limbs and head. Indigestion
helped to make the misery worse, and
my heart would palpitate .terribly. 1
doctored steadily for a year without
getting better, but just dragged along
feeling that I would never be well
again. But one lucky day, on the
advice of a friend, I began treatment
with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I have
taken only six boxes, but I wish you
cc•uld see the difference. I am now
able to do my work, go about and
enjoy myself. I feel so entirely, like
a new woman that I advise every
weak or ailing woman to try Dr.
Wllliatns'•Pink Pills and I know they
will get beneficial results."
If you are ailing, easily tired or de-
pressed, it is a duty you owe yourself
and your family to give Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills a fair trial. What this
medicine has done for others it will
surely do for you. You can'get Dr.
Williams' .Pink Pills through' any
dealer in medicine or by mail at 50
cents a box or six boxes for $2.500
from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,

During a trip across Canada last summer, mem-
bers of the Montreal Board of Trade gained many
new and striking impressions of their own country.
They expressed varying views en these; dtscnsaed,
criticized, or commended theme These exchanges be-
gan tocrystallize into a dominant but unspoken
thought In every heart. Finally it wan given voice
in the words: "There in no East, and no West,:
THERE.I8 JUST CANADA."
It is not merely a bit of fine phrasing. The senti-
ment has an appeal to every one who has caught a
vision of what Canada is to be. Before the eptendor
of that vision selfish local Interests wither and die
and provincialism fades into nothingnesa. WHat Is
et benefit to the farmer of the West or the fisherman
on the Atlantic coast, should be a matter of concern
to every citizen of the Dominion. ''There 1e no East,
and no West: THERE IS JUST CANADA."
In the roll of centuries since the world began, the
history of Canada occupies bat a modest measpyrc.
Within the memory of people still In the vigor of'life,
new areas of this country have been opened to settle-
ment, as large as some countries In Europe; vast re-
sources of timber and mineral lands have lyeen re-
vealed, and great water powers have been harnessed
to d" the will of man. The once unexplored and the
tont A nknown have been linked, until this Empire

the railway. Its slender ropes of steel are efu'rl&

ing the wide -flung prairies, spanning rivers, paella&

barred the progress of man in days gone'by, or wan-
dering through the meadows and orchards; of the
earlier settled portions of the country, they are sl
visible embodiment of the sentiment, "There _ia. as
East. and no West: THERE IS JUST CANADA:'
' The railway has made it possible for increasing
thousands of Canadians to widen their education by
travel in their own country- And their own Canadian
National Railways has played an amazing part in this
education of its owners. Since its humble beginning*
in Confederation days, it has expanded Into the great-
est railway system on, this continent.^- Its contribution
to the development of Canada to the past was incalcuf•
able; Its part in the progress of the future cannot be
measured by the mind of man. More than anything
else in the Dominion to -day it emphasizes the truth
of the words "There is no East, and no West; THERE
IS Jt'ST CANADA."
Mount Robson, 13,069 Feet, Is the Highest Peak in the Canadian Rockies
Canada has some of the moat
magnificent mountain scenery in the
world, as anyone who has travelled
through the northern Canadian
Rockies knows- The scenery is 80
varied, so full of surprises, that 1f
the traveller gives his constant at-
tention to one side of the car he Is
almost certain to be missing some-
thing very wonderful on the other
side.
For years transcontinental rall-
ways in America have tried out
various types of observation care
through the mountains, the objec-
tive being to give their patrons the
best possible views of the scenery.
Some of them have been simply.
open platform cars, with no protec-
tion from the sun or inclement
weather.
Car builders have been vloing
with one another in the construc-
tion of !these cars to provide the
fbnest obs" "'Alen facilities along
with the maximum of comfort. At
last the Canadian National Railway
shops at Leaside. Toronto, have
turned out a car which has all the
requisites.
This car might almost be de-
scribed as a sun -room on wheels, in
view of the large percentage of
glass used In its construction. It 1s
regulation size, with a closed -in
section 44 feet long and a spacious
open comparttnent at each end
where passengers may enjoy the
open air. The interior of the car
has sixteen large windows on each
side running from the seat arm
rests to the ceiling. These win-
dows are 4 ft. 6 tn. high by 28 in.
wide. having two panes of glass
24 in. by 24 in., one above the other.
There are also two of these win-
dows at each end of the ear, one at
each side of the door leading out on
to the platform.
The seats are arranged trans-
versely on each aide of a centre
aisle. as in an ordinary car, there
•
being -sixteen double seats on each
side providing seating capacity for
54 passengers. The platforms pro•
vide capacity for. 36 additional
persons. The entire car side fram-
ing is of steel, with the interior
finished tn British Columbia Cedar.
stained mahogany. The interior 1s
equipped with the most up-to-date
ventilators. electric light and
shades.
One of these new ears was ex-
hibited et Toronto Exhibition last
year for the first time. and 150,000
people inspected the car during the
fair. It was very favorably com-
mented uponat The ear le many
