It was fifteen years befo-re the . eine was 'extended to Rouse's 'Paint. Among these who worked on the construction of this "latter linik was ' a. young engineer, IMr. Jay -Gould, who became famous trselenty years lateir as one of the' great railway :financiers of the alge- 'Me 'Montreal IbuisinesS men who called themselves the "C,otnpany Pro- prietors Of the Chansplain and St. Lawrence fRiaillway" spent £1,500 of their capital ail the purchase of a donative which they obtained fm iro Stephenstess at Neweastle-Ofh'Pyne and which 'was shipped. to St. Johns by way of New York, :Lake' Champlain and .the iRichieilieu River. The 'two gessenger coaches of the original :equipment which are described as elaborately painted and tastefully up - :holstered! cost nearly £1,000 'each. The .arrival ofthe engin-e from England -was e.nvelolped in , a greet, deal .of mystery. Sha was kept eihrosided and trials were made ionly at night: The engineer. who was sent with the en- gineer who was sent with the engine seems to have deserted his ,posit sheet- ly after -ex' rival. finding mare :profit- able:employment in the United States. For •seine time- the priameters were at a lose to lotaiw how to replace him. Thie new engine was named the Dor- chestier which was the old name of St. Johns called after a famous Bri- •tise. statesmany Lord 'Dorchester, who was "Governor -le -Chief of all the North Anierican' provinces" in 1791. On account of its eccentricities of 'motion and the !difficulty which' the various 'amateur drivers had in starting and stepping, the Derches- ter earned the name of the "Kitten." Fortunately a few weeksbeforethe opening day 1,fair.ily which has sines made ,history in heamotive driving • en this continent was induced to come to St. Johns, The running of the lharichieste.r veeaped upon the Pang - horn family wiho ma ea.ged the. trial run. Theneatter iG.e.orge Washington iPanighorte a native of Vezhant State and the son of Ziroa ,Panghorn, was the regular engineer. G. W. Paeg- isorn's ewe sera, George Walter and, Herbert" Alonzo, were With engineers •on the this ,pi•oineer road. The son of Gieerge Welter was an engineer on the Southern IPecific and a .resident of 'Colton; 'California. If he had Con- tinued in service until July -the Pang- bOTn would have completed a himdiredi y'aarr of uninterrupted fam- ily servete at the .throttle. Herbert who 'died recently at his home in his eighty-eighth year retained his faculties to the end and 'had. a clear recalleetion 'of riding with his tether on the Dorchester. After serving SOT1112 years on the Champlain and St. Lawrence Rail- way, the :Dareliestee wae rebuilt with a cabal bogie and pilot, and was pur- chased la y Bartholomew Joliette-, founder 'of the „town ofa that name and chief owner of the Lanioraria and Industrie Railway. The Earl of Gosford, Goterner- General of 'Canada'and Lady Gos- ford, Six George Grey .and the lead- ing citizens of 'Mlontireal, numbering' about three hundred :in all and accom- -penied by the band of the regiment stationed in Montreal, took part in the irauguration of the (railway. Ow - deg to the uncertainty iat the antics tof the Kitten, it was deemed &ales- alble only to draw two passenger .coaChes 'with the locomotive and at - lath two horses to each of the lathier freight ears which Was called into serwice. After' a short preliminary run a start was made and the current acceuht Says that "the 'engine easily omelette the slit arm 'Rites alitlith.gh outstripped the horses." Neverthee less, it 'took nearly wo I tmes to - the journey bapk hvas'dene in about - half 'Abet time, and on the tbilikrArizg - day only .forteafire minutes 'were con- .selemed ea the trip, It was unfortun- • ate that on the return trip froin.Lae Prairie '014a -real, erhiciawas andel,- taken after the Derehester had -Sete - 'landed her • passengers alongside the river, that the vessel which was to convey the distinguished company to their homes stranded in the mud and the entire personnel 'had either to find sleeping accommodation tin the (little village of La Prairie or to spend .the night: in, the great ;outdoors. The band was called into service and an impromptu • concert and dance was held, which presumably whiled away the weary .hiothie of .waiting. The Dore/tester was. four -coupled in type with a emelt pair of leading and trailing wheels. •She • weighed five and: a half tons and carried one pitincheon (84 gallons). of water and a•zordi of wood in a speciad truck be- hind the engine. The Champlain and' St. ,Lalweence haS long since last its identity having been aibsoribedi by the. Grand Trunk . whieli later became an integral :part 'of . the Canadian Ni - biaxial Railways and' the sixteen miles of trackage of thispioneer road have grown to more than 24,000 miles. The Dorchester Would form a strik- ing contrast ao the 6400 of the Celia -- dean National Railways to-daye-the largest streamlined engine in, the -iwericlattaining about one quarter of the speed of the 6400 type and carry- ing its 84 gallensi of water and its coed of woo -d as against 12,000 gal- lons of water and 2a toes of coal. As originally constructed the track of this pioneer road consisted • of wooden rails on which were spiked flat iron bare about two' and a half inches wide and three-eighths of an inch thick. There was a constant tendency for the sipikes to pull, up thereby causing damage to the en- gine and caches.• It was from this circumstance that" this. type of 'rail obtained the name of "snake -rail." " A newspaper advertieemene of the year 18150 claims that passenger's us- ing this line whieh had teen eters& ed each way until' there. was a; eons tinuous land journey from St. Lam': 'beet to New -York ceuld make the journey to Boston • in thirteen hours and to New York in two hours. more. The charter of this pioneer railway which was applied for and, :granted. in 1832 and thereafter extended for't(wo years in 1834 received the royal :sanc- tion of King William V, one year .be- fore Queen Victoria carne to the throne. It is a long dem:me:nit and contains several -• curious previsions. It stipulated that the ,passenger and frei-ght' rates were to vary according to the prosperity of the road. • The original shareholders were to be al- lowed a maximum of 12 per cent. on their investment but that anything after this was to • be applied' to the reduction of tariffs. After 11 years ef service the ioriglnel track gave place to one of iron rails. and the, raeliway was albsio.rbed by the Grand Trunk. Another provision was that at ev- ery place whine th.e railway crossed a road that gates were to be erected whichwere to be kept locked and those using the road would ;have to climb 'down and unlock both gates be - faze crossing. The :penalty for fail- ure to do this was five shillings for ea ch :offence. - ECZEMA Relieves falling quicklY, thutoughtt heals tlie skin, it most effeetive treatmebt ror.aczema And other akin troubles.

Maple syrup is also used in commercial blending with other syrups and commodities. With regard to these ,usee of maple products, two .seH-explanatory adcli-• times to the- !Maple- Syrup Industry Act of Canada are published officially in the Canada Gazette of June 20th, 1936. Containers of maple products in- tended for export for tobacco manu- facture !must be marked "Not for toted uses; for use in toibacce" and con- tainers of maple products intended for exportfor blending purposes must -be marked "For 'blending purposes."

When yon con- tinue to eat poorly balanced meals, over a period ofWeeles and months,' • faulty elimination often develops. You feel uncomfortable., lack your accustomed vigor. Eat a balanced diet. Include milk, fruits and vegetables as pro- tective foods, Also sufficient "bulk." Kellogg's ALL -BRAN is a conyeea nientsouree of "bplk." Within the body, it absorbs moisture, forms a soft mass, -gentle cleanses the in- testinal tract. Fruits and vegetables contain some "bulk," of course. But scien- tific tests show that, with certain peeple, this "bull" is largely broken down within- the body. This does not happen to the same extent with bean. When you eat Kellogg's ALL - BRAN, you can be sure of obtaining effective' "bulk." Serve Am -BRAN as a cereal, with milk or cream, or cook into muffins, breads, etc. Two table- spoonfuls daily are usually suffi- cient. Stubborn cases may"require Are.-Beeei oftener. If not relieved 'this way, consult your doctor.' • Au -BRAN is guaranteed by the Kellogg Company, as a natural laxa- tive food for constipation.* Eat it regularly for regularity. Sold by all grocers. Made by Kellogg in London, Ontario. *Constipation due to imseefehest "Wee' ing becomes evident. Due he the waxy condition of the leaves, the,use of a ,plaielon spray hanotgiven satis- factory results. If the pleats have to be treated shortly before being marketed, fresh 'pyrethrum, powder 'should' be substi- tuted because, while this :substance is poisonous to insects, it is not injue- ides to human ibeings. It can be se- cured from local seed houses, drug- stores, or wholesale drug companies. The :remedies recommended 'for cab- bage' worms also control other de- structive insects to cabbages and cauliflower* such as, the cabbage' laoper and diamond -back moth. The, cabbage worm hibernates in the chrysalis stage, and emerges as e white butterfly. in .May, depositing its yellowish eggs, usually singly, on the undersides 10f the leaves.. Im- mediately on hatching, the larvae be- gin feeding which is. continued by s'ubs'equent broods during the ' entire summer. It is estimated that there were 94,- 000 less .egg -laying hens on ifairmis Canada- in 1935 'than in 1934 but 268,- 000 'dozen more eggs were laid, and the total estimated value of eggs - ($37,763,900) shows an increase of $3,309,000 over the revised valuation of 1934: The average ivallue`of eggs in 1935 is estimated at 17 cents per dozen 'against 15 cents per dozen in 1934. Field Crops in the Making The production of superior varie- ties or st-rains of field maps, by breed, deg and selection has been an import- ant function of the Experimental Farms Branch of the 'Dominion ,De- eierterien•t of Agriculture' since the ;inception of the Farms system fifty years ago. Indeed, the progress made by the 'Cereal Division in the creating, testing and final idistribu-' tion icif superior new varieties -of cereals in Canada is an epic in the realm of • ,seientific achievemiente The, names of such varieties as ',Marquis and Heron -wheat, Laurel and Legacy. oats, Charlottetown 80 and Mesisury barley; Arthur. and Chancellor pease, and Novelty flax pee not 'only !house- ihold . words in Canada but of weeld- wide recoanitio-n, While evidence of centineed progress is 'contained in the recent intimation of -the' causing 'introduction of a variety of wheat \leech is eapalble of mithetianding the, ravages ef stem rust. 'In tweet years the advance Made in the breeding of idisease-fesistant plants has been truly remarkable. Not only have new rust -resistant and smart -resistant wheats been d.evelopedi 'but varieties of oats' resistant to stemrust and smut have ids* been, created The The prrogresis in thie pet- ticuiar, so far as the 'Cereal Division is concerned, has, beee due very large- ly to the policy of concentrating the work at strategic points': under the direct, eharge !highly .trained men. Thus, the' prickliest -I- of breeding des- e'aseasestetersti types 'of 'wheat has been cell:razed at the -Dominion Rust Research. Laboratory at Winnipeg in the very centre of one of the Worst rust areas 'of the West. . While the breeding of ruefeleeist- ant Wheats and °ate have more or lees held the public stage, other work of fer-reaching irapertanee has been quietly proceeding. There is promise of a isuccessful conclusion: to the de- velopment of !varieties of oats. -which combine high strength of straw with disease -resistance and ether desire able qualities; varieties erf . barley better adapted to different regions and more highly disease -resistant Than the eoniumeely grown tepee; and seed types of flax -capable of produc- ing ,mlore and bet -ter oil per acre.

'In Neva Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, $sek.atichewarn„ and Alberta the weight is regulated under the statutes of each province separately. In Noire -Scotia, the statete• (R.

The Quebec etatutes declare that eight hours after 'being :baker, sold, OT exposed for sale, the 'loaves which must be made of good, wholesome' flour, must weigh twelve .ouricee or any 'multiple of that weight, wihile in Ontario, 'chapter 268,, sec. 1 of the 1927 statutes orders that the weight of bread for sale shell be 24 ounces avoirdapoie, unless for -small bread Which miay be sold in any weight not exceeding 12 ounces'.

Many such homes today would lack the necessities of life—were it not for the "little savings" which thrifty parents have set aside periodically in Life Insurance. To the family which loses its bread- winner, Life Insurance means money to buy food and clothing — money to pay the rent—money to pay household bills — money to educate the children. Life Insur- ance also means, in many cases, in- dependence of private charity or public relief. In your own Ommunity, as well as in hundreds of cities and towns across' Canada, "little savings" in Life Insurance are doing "big jobs". During the past six years, policy- holders and beneficiaries in Canada have received, daily, half a million dollars from' Life Insurance. "Be it ever so humble"—there's no home which cannot have the much- needed protection of Life Insurance. Life Insurance Guardian o . ,1" • , , , , Canadian Homes t -96X "' ' "rase" , ' • yi".:0 .as
