Thanks to this scientific method, the great-grandchildren of the Un- sala couple are still enjoying this drink which is now 153 years old. The harrel is. however, not tha oy iginal one, In 1890, 115 years af- ter, the ale was first brewed, it he. gan to show rigns of disintegration and n new one was made, The re- stricted liquor laws of present-day Sweden have also made it impos- eible to obtain the Swedish ale with which the original contents was diluted. Therefore, a snecial grade of wort is used, and the aie is as musty as ever. FOR CLASSROOM It simuiates the two-piece mode with its wide suede belt marking normal waistline.

Two forty-horsepow= er motors which will be 39 meters in length (about 127 feet), will carry four passengers besides the New Type of Airship Now Under onstruction at German Works lerafe, pilot, and will travel at an aver- age speed of 60 kilometers an hour (about 37 miles), while the maximum rate will be 80 kilome- ters, The new ship is intended not only for journeys, but. for economi~ cal and technical purposes; for in- stance, the supervision of extensive overland systems of eleetric wires charged with high frequence, It is being built by the company's chief engineer, Bauer, with the ad- vice of Major August von DParse- val, who has favored the semi- rigid type of airships ever since they were first built in 1901. in 1908, the German Government bought one of Major von Parseval's REINDEER INDUSTRY PROBABLE The return to civilization of the two Porslid brothers of Denmark, who were engaged by the Canadian Government to make investigation into and report upon the possibility of establishing of a reindeer industry in the Canadian North, has revived interest in the subject. The inves- tigation has occupied more than two years, in the course of which foar- teen thousand miles of Arctic trails were covered by canoe, dogs and horses. While their conclusion wiil not be available until their report has been presented to. the Govern- ment, it is believed it will be favor- able, since carly reports of the brothers indicated the suitability of an area covering about 15000 square miles to the east of the Mackenzie River delta and inland from the Arc- tic Ocean to reindeer grazing, the pasturage being ,estimated as suf- ficient for 250,000 reindeer. Since that time additional arcas have been sur- veyed and this total possibly swelled considerably. The thoroughness of investigation is proof of the Dominion Govern- ment's anxiety to get such an indus- try under way in the Northland. The matter has, in fact, reccived serious consideration for some considerable time. The food and clothing supply of Canada's population in the far North is threatened by the advance of settlement from the south and the introduction of modern firearms and improved methods of trapping. This is a matter of moment, since it is felt that the future development of the great and varied resources of this region will come about at the hands of the native Eskimo.

Attracted Private Interests The industry has similarly attract- ed private interests. At least one en- terprise was launched in the post- war period which was unsuccessful, owing, it is believed, to lack of suf- | ficient pasturage, poor choice of lo- | cation, and bad management.

Indications have been many that a new cra of development is opening up for Canada's Northland, and the prospects of a great meat- producing industry evolving there adds lustre to its future, Meat pro- duction in the years to come in Canada is a matter very much to the fore at the present time, with the United States looking increasingly to the Dominion for this product and other markets waiting. With modern transportation facilities already thrusting their way up toward the area the matter of bridging the dis- tance between the wild ranges and modern markets offers no serious obstacle.

The in- troduction, if successful, will banish apprehension for all time over the possibility of dimunition in the food and clothing supply of the native population to which Canada looks to develop the resources of that area. It can develop a meat industry of tremendous proportions and add to Canada's importance in its task of helping to feed the world, It can at the same time supply the raw ma- terial for a score of tributary indus- tries. The progress of the Dominion Reindeer Company enterprise will be watched with keen interest and the report of the Porslid brothers to the Canadian Government cagerly awaits cd SOLDIERS OF BRITISH ARMY USED PLAYING CARDS AS MEAL TICKETS Quebee, Jan. 21.--Playing-cards acted as ration-tickets for soldiers in the last century, for th= provin- Pierre George Roy, recently received two slips of paper wth the inscription in writing on the back of each: "Good for four pounds of bread; 4th February.

ONTARIO TO HAVE L'RGER SUPPIIF OF ALBERTA COAL Second Grest Movement of Fuel from the West Now Under Way Toronto, Jan, 21.--Greater op- portunity jis given Ontario this winter to heat her homes and sup- ply power to her factories with Al. berta coal. By reason of the ex-! tension of the reduced freight rate period, the second great movement of this fuel from the West alreads is under way. Last year, when the scheme was inauguratad the Government-fixed freight rate of $6.75 per ton did not go into effect until April 185, This year, the rate was made effec- tive on January 15, and will be con- Yisueg as it was In 1928, until July Ontario burns most of its fuel between New Year's Day and May 1. Consequently, those who epom- sor the Alberta coal plan believe that this year their product will be a far greater factor in the fuel mar- ket than it was in 1928. Many who tried Alberta coal last year have become permanent cus- tomers, it is stated. The operators admit they found isolated cases of disappointment last year, but it is contended that these were attribu- table to lack of imstruction in the proper method of firing a furnace with Alberta coal or ignorance on the part of the dealer in advising the wrong size of fuel for furnace or range. Leaders of the industry expect that 1929 will see a large increase in the number of converts to the use of Alberta coal. We don't care what size they make the $1 bill, and all we hope is that it won't act any smaller-- Ohio State Journal. Al Smith, it is said, has retired to private life.

Major Guy Molesworth Kinder- sly, S.M.P.,, who it is unders ood will be a director of the parent company to he formed at London. said the process consists of an electrolytic bath, The object to be metalized is first "thinly coat- ed with a substance which em- bodies the secret of the patent, then is immersed in a bath to which the electric current is ap- plied," One of the most valuable features of the process, Major Kindersgly said, is that there fis apparently no limit to the size of thie objects which can be treated, while the metal coa'ing can be made of any thickness desired, Leslie Hore-Belisha, M.P,, hails ed Einstein, who comes from Riga, Lativia, as "a modern alchemist', and predicted that the discovery will revolutionize the manufactur ing world. HAMPTON Hampton, Jan, 19.--Mr, and Mrs. Ernest Adamson enjoyed an evening at their home, on Tuesday, with a sleigh load of friends from Bowman- ville, Miss Lulu Reynolds gave an ac- count of her trip to England, which she took last summer at the Wo- men's Institute of Solina on Thurs. day of last week, The heavy rain of Friday caused considerable damage to the pit, be- neath the dam, on Friday night, there being a big rush of water about mid- night, running over the dam some places, also across the road in front of the mill, and down through the park entrance across the road there, to join the creek which goes down behind the mill. The water had no other escape, the ground being cov- ered with ice, since the ' rain on Thursday, when at night the weather turned colder. No other serious damage was done, but a great many were awakened by the noise of the water. The men at the creamery were also kept busy with the ice| from the creek there, the water | flooding the garage and the floor of | the creamery, the water being with- in a short distance from the top of the bridge.

Brown of Ottawa gave a very inspiring devotional talk on the words of the lesson, and in coneclu- sion wished the members of the lea- gue, "A Happy New Year," directing a few remarks to the word, "new," in which he said a good motto for the new year would be to sim to get a new name, to make a new endea- vor, and to go the right way.
