The attitude of the British Gov- ernment, it is understood, was that it reserved the right to demand in- demnity for the properties at some future date and it took no excep- tion to the transfer momentarily, providing no metal is sent to Ger- many. At the time of the Finnish-Rus- sian war last winter International Nickel Company of Canada had 2 concession to develop nickel de* posits in the Petsamo region of Northern Finland and had estab- lished some properties and staff there for the purpose.

There may be some who think that physicians advise the hypo- that the patient will have to come to the physician's office or the physician visit the patient. What these individuals forget is once the effect of a certain dose of a drug or extract is known to the physician, he is quite willing to allow the patient to use the hypo- dermic needle himself. For instance, in a hundred who does not give himself injections of insulin one to three times a day. A number of articles have ap- peared in the medical journals about the use of pollen extract for hay fever taken by mouth instead of by injection. While here and there a physician reports some suc- cess, the great bulk of evidence, in the air each year, shows that | ragweed pollen by. mouth is far from being as effective as by hypo- !dermic injection, For the past few years, investi- {gators have been trying to produce an insulin that can be taken by mouth, thus deing away with in+ jections.

The action of the insulin sets in soon after the suppositories are placed in the rectum and roaches its full power or strength after | thirty or forty minutes, at the end tion drops rapidly. the insulin increase the intensity of the reaction and also prolong it.

ON THIS DATE - By - FRED WILLIAMS There has recently been demol- ished at Montreal a house which was closely identified with an event | which took place on this date 165 years ago. It was nct much of a building, just thick stone walls and casement windows and low hanging roof, this Chateau Forretier; but within its walls were held many talks and military councils for it was here that General Richard Montgomery made his headquarters during the winter and spring of 1775-76. Governor Guy Carleton had been told that an army under Arnold had reached Levis and. that Quebec was in danger; Montreal was in no con- dition to be defended and so was abandoned, Carleton making his escape to Quebec in a thrilling journey, a stery of which may be told tomorrow, Montgomery's army, which had come up by Lake Cham- plain and occupied St. John's and Chambly (after stiff resistance by the Canadians), made its way up the St. Lawrence to just about where the southern span of the Jacques Cartier bridge now is, and crossed to Montreal Island on Nov. 12. : The magistrates and merchants of Montreal, knowing that armed re- | sistance would be useless, agreed to surrender the town, and on Nov. 14 Montgomery took possession in the name cf the "Continental Army." He did not, as expected, proceed to the Chateau de Ramezay, the resi- dence of the French and English governors. It was too aristocratic for his New England tastes. He looked around, saw the Forretier house and commandeered it as his headquarters. It was there that Franklin, Father Carroll and Chase councils of war were held, that asked themselves why the people of French Canada would not join the rebels' cause, and it was from ther that literature was printed and dis tributed, but to be read by only a few, because the bishop of Quebec had determined that faith would be kept with the English king who had kept faith with them. remained in this Forretier house until it became evident in the spring of 1776 that, the British navy having arrived at Quebec, the at- tempted invasion must be abandofi- ed. : When I first knew the building #t was an old-fashioned drug store, whose blue and green and red lighted globes lessened the dusk of narrow Notre Dame street. Over the door was a stone marked "1776" and a niche beneath, upon which, legend had it, the statue of 2 saint was placed after Montgomery left, as a mark of thanksgiving. That. stone has been conserved as an hiss}. torical memento. What became of the saint? I don't know.
