Dr. Henderson stated that while heart disease, taking a great toll in death and suffering, is not yet conquerei sy science, he believed that the new treat- ment will be of the greatest im- portance as a relief measure, if uot as a cure, All of Dr. Henderson's patients were forced to inhale carbon 'away of the oppressive feeling dioxide gas three times a day. The patient lies on his back with a mask on his face. When he breathes deeply and slowly, car- bonie acid gas is released through the gas mask from a cylinder, As a result of these treatments Dr. Henderson said that all his patients witnessed the passing about the chest and that the col- or the lips changed from livid to pinkish, All the patients were able to take long walks, while previously they had been unable to do so. Dr. Henderson is continuing his experiments with this treat- ment, : Making Survey Of Lake Kingston.----It was learned that two representatives of the Ontar- io Department of Game and Fish- eries are at Charleston Lake mak- ing a survey of that body of water in regard to its levels and the ex- jont and variety of its fish popula- tion, Mine Has Been Closed Renfrew.--The Black Donald graphite mine at Calabogie, Ren- frew County, the only producer of that mineral in Ontario with an annual production of over 1,000 tons, has closed down after sev- eral] years of operation.

WHITE MEN LIVE IN ISOLATED FOREST Half - Wild Woodcutters Hardly Touched By Exiles London. -- Deep in the green silence of the Knysna forests lives a race of white people mora iso- lated than any other human be- ings in South Africa. Truly a race apart are these half-wild wood- cutters and their families. The cold men with their long beards, are like Rip Van Winkles in our modern world. Progress has hardly touched these exiles. Of English, Scottish and Dutch descent are these men of the axe. For more than a century they have brought the enormous stink- wood and yellowwood trees ecrash- ing down, They have always been raid by results and they show themselves no mers as they hack out their livelihood from the an- client trees. Seldom are they well nourished: vet they are cap- able of terrific labor. Across a Continent They go out first as little joys carrying walter. As soon as they have reached their teens they are ready to sweat with axe and saw. The woodcutter can see no far- ther than the dense wall of his fcrests, no other future for his children, Year after year the number of trees allotted to wood- cutters in the Government re- serves is being reduced. But in the mind of the woodcutter there is no threat to his existence. The foreman on a forest told nie that he once took a middle- aged woodcutter with him on a hunting expedition to the open | veldt near George, 50 miles away. | They travelled by motor car, and | the woodcutter was astounded. | "I never though Africa was so large," he exclaimed. | There is a pathetic story, too, of a woodcutter who went mad, | ran .amuk with his axe and killed | a colored boy. He was sent to an asylum in Cape Town At the end of three vears during a per- iod of sanity, he escaped and | trudged back towards his beloved | fcrests. He had no map, no knowledge of the road, nothing | but sure instinct, Skill Seldom Fails He tramped along at nights, | avoiding villages, taking a route that lay along mountain slopes For more than 300 miles he] stumbled on, coming at last to the lonely ghack where dwelt his wife and children, One night he spent with them--then he was found and taken back. 'Sentence me to years of im- prisonment if you like," wus his | lea, "but let me know that one! day I can come home, I Such is the spell of the forests The talk when woodcutters ga- | ther is all accidents, There was the man whose legs were pinned | down by the tree he had just fe!l- ed--the only miscalculation of | that kind on record. When found, he had worn hig fingers almost ts the bone in hig efforts to dig away the earth beneath _him. | Sometimes a woodcutter grows careless and chops himself; bu as a rule, their standard of ski] | never falls. Planks arrive at the Xnysna factories sometimes looking as though they had been planed by | machinery; 20 ft long, K without a 'deviation of 1-32 in. all done | ly axe and saw. Yet most of | these old craftsmen earn little-- from £24 to £60 .a year." It is pussible for a woodcuiter in a private forest, with the help of two young sons, to make 18s. a day clear profit. But such earn- ings cannot be maintained for long. Rain and illness--usually through over-exertion--/0ring the average income*down to a small figure. Hatred of Debt The little body of men licensed to fell trees in the Government Forests numbered by Forest De- partment officials have been add- ed to the roll of registered wood- cntters for many years, so that cne old type is dying. Each year the trees to he sold are numbered by Forest Depart- ment officials, the woodcutters inspect them, draw lots for the trees, and gather at different stations for the allotment. They have to pay for the trées, of course, and there is an element of ch e which appeals hightily to the \§ld men. If all their trees are 'perfect, then they obtain good prices. But there {is always the risk of rot, pad heart and poor color, Many of the woodcitters can- not. read, write, or count; but they know to the nearest penny how much is due to them.. They are improvident, but they dislike being in debt, * The Last Day July 31st. We Must Get Out.
