The Canadian Internat- Paper Company has develo) ed 476,000 horsepower on the Gat- ineau River, Quebec, and is sell- ing large quantities of this to the Hydro Blectric commission of Ont- ario, thus public ownership and wri- vate ownership join hands, This company has 340,000 horsepower more to develop, Many smaller dev- elopments have been undertaken during the present year. In Manitoba But it is not only in the central provinces of Ontario and Quehee that governing bodies have to wrestle with waterpower problems. In Manitoba the Seven Sisters |po Power deal is one of the maior tasues which that government has on ita hands. In New Brunswick the development of Grand Falls is making excellent progress. but the roposal to harness the tides of the y of Fundy is bringing out much opnosition from the fishing inter. ests, New Development In British Columbia the Bridge River Company is working on a 100,000 horsepower development with an ultimate goal of half a million horsepower. The West Kootney Company is alse making extensive additions, while two oth- er big nrojects are being worked out, Developments on the Row River in Alberta will add 30.000 horsepower and plans are heine made for harnessing the Churchill viver in Saskatchewan, At the end of last vear Canada was producing 4.977,921 horse: nower from its waternawers.

James V. Morrow, tobacco market: ing specialist at the department, ad- vances the theory that the nation is accepting the views of sixteenth cen- tury physicians that snuff has a medicinal value in that it causes the user to sneeze the cobwebs from his brain, Morrow admits that 10 per cent seems too large a figure, but would like to know how anyone could con sume much more than four pounds Mm a year without staying awake nights. Possibly the day is at hand when snufi-taking will assume its former place as one of the fine arts. At least there is a strong precedent for this, says Morrow, sketching the history of the tobacco plant since 15569, the reputed date of its introduction into Europe by a Spanish court physician, Friar Romano Pane, who accom: panied Columbus on his second voy- age, noted the Indians' use of a FELT BROS, "Buy Where Botisfaction is 8 Certainty" only Silverware of Perfection, correct in style and choice of pieces, will en- sure her flawless joy in enters Tee Leaps JEWELLERS 12 Bimecor Sr. 8, i 3 ] ; : ? E | : 4 | : | i i | ; i : "herbe which they reduce to dust," Morrow writes from his delving into old books: and it was in the form of snuff that tobacco was transplant. ed to the old world. "The use of snuff became s0 popu: lar that Pope Urban VIII in 1624 issued a bull of excommunication against those who used it during church services because snufing and sneezing interrupted the religious ceremonies, Use of snuff spread to England, Scotland and Ireland, and, in the eighteenth century, snuff-tak- ing became the fashion, the lords and ladies taking it in pinches and the scullions and clerks in handfulls. Barly authors on etiquette set up 12 separate operations that courtiers were required to observe when tak- ing snuff lest they be labeled ungen- tlemanly, These included: "Sniff it with precision by both nostrils with. out a grimace," and, finally, "sneeze, spit and wipe your nose." Snuff today is made from the best quality dark tobacco, in contrast to the refuse and scraps used in for: | mer days. High quality scenting and flavoring ingredients are used, and the leaves undergo a complex fermentation process, SAYS ESKIMOS ARE LITTLE AFFECTED BY COMMON COLDS St. Louis, M., Nov 28--Although the Wskimos of Balin Island and Greenland are very susceptible to the common cold and other infee- tions of the upper respiratory tract and live in a climate which might be expected to foster such condi: tions, they apparently never are at- tacked hy these diseases except when they come in contact with the less frigid outside world, This point is emphasized In a paper by Dr. Peter Heinbecker, fel: low of the National Research Coun: eil in medicine at Washington Uni- versity, who was a member of the Greenland expedition of the Ameri: ean Museum of Natural History in 1926 and of the Putnam Bafin Is land expedition last year, in colla boration with Dr. Edith I, M, Ir vine-Jones, Thereon Catlin, fellow of the St. Louis Children's Hospital, "In the summer of 1926, as the members of the Greenland expedi- tion of the American Museum of Natural History made their way up the west coast of Greenland," the paper relates, "it was noted that in certain of the settlements every na- tive was the victim of an acute re- spiratory tract infection, while in others no evidence of such infection was present. "Investigation revealed that in the former some contact had invariably been made with the outside world rior to their coming, while in the tter, within 48 to 72 hours of thelr arrival, all the natives developed peute respiratory infections with sneezing, coughing and spitting. "Farther north, among the Polar Eskimoes, where it was certain that outside made contact had been no that year, there was never the slight: est evidence tract at the arrival of the expedition, 72 hours nearly every Eskimo of the of acute Fospira ry t within £ E 2 g } I 55.
