New Leprosy Remedy Asserted to Be Sure Afflicted Natives Rush Joy- ously for Treatment, Says London Story London. â€" A msssage of hope for the hundreds of thousands suffering from leprosy appears in the annual report of the British Empire Leprosy Relief Association. The report asserts that leprosy can be cured, and confidently predictj that with adequate public support the asso- ciation can rid the British Empire of the disease within a generation. "This wonderful ideal," as the Prince of Wales has called it, is al- ready being worlced out, particularly in East and West Africa and India, where the great mass of British lepers exist. A method of attacking the disease by means of Injections has been wide- ly tested with remarkable results, and the association is actively sending out suj plies of drugs ;ind chemicals to missionaries and others throughout the affected areas. Half a million doses have been sent out already. News of the new treatment and cures has spread far and wide amongst the -sufferers. Instead of hiding themselves and concealing the disease, they are now voluntarily coming forward for treat- ment. This was unknown ten years ago. Some of the dispeniaries and treat- ment huts are so overwhelmed with lepers demanding injectims that the doctors and their helpers have to turn hundreds away. A nurse in Northern Tanganyika has written home: The leper clinic up here is in its early stages, but It Is very hopeful. We have patients at- tending from different triljes, and it is the first time up here in this very primitive isolated hill district that anyone has come forward for treat- ment acknowledging himself a leper. It is grreat to see the hope in their faces now . . . The report mentions a recent ruler in India who was a leper for many years. A chief in Uganda now has hope of recovery. Anothir chief in Xyasaland who has suffered for years is on the way to health. -=n Young Canadians at Washington Manitoba Taking Her Place Manitoba Is now experiencing a period of intensive mining develop- ment.

Cons.): "There are many I'easons for increas- ing our purchases from the UniteJ Kingdom," recently declared Mr. H. B. Henwood. of the Bank of Toronto, referring to the. work of the Empire JIarketing Board and the excessive volume of purchases from the Uni- ted States; "the very least we can do is to divert most of our possible foreign purchases to British Empire goods." That is a policy which ought to commend itself to all patrio- tic Canadians, and especially to the governing authorities. "Buy Empire goods" is more than a mere slogan; it would be of no worth if It re- mained only that. It should be a fixed principle with Canadian shop- pers, whether iu a large or a small way.

The North-west Passage Manitoba Free Press (Lib.): As the means of communication between Great Britain and the Far East the Hudson Bay route Is incomparably the shortest route. It cuts the dis- tance of 16,000 miles by the Suez, and ot 11,000 miles by San Vrancisco, to 8,000 miles by Prince Rupert. Cana- dians are not building the Hudson Bay Railway for purposes of war. and hope that it will never be war which will demonstrate its greatest benefits. But they have to yield to Captain Munro when he insists that "the pos- sibilities by this route (as a line of communications) for the British Em- pire are Immense, and are only to be compared with the advent of the Suez and Panama canals, with this excep- tion .that it is all within the British Empire.''

Had the steamer continued at the speed she was then making It would have been impossible for the dog to have gotten across the chan- nel. Either he would have been struck by the steamer or else he would have been sucked down by the under-tow and. undoubtedly, have met his death in tliat way. for the chan- nel- was extremely n.irrow there. I was standing on the upper deck talking with the captain. Captain Bacon. He espied the dog before I did and called my attention to it. He immediately gave orders to slow down the steamer and also to swerve her as far as possible, which could be but slightly, away from f.ha dog. .\nd. of course, the dog's life vas saved. This was fifteen or more years ago, but the incident is one that I shall never forget. .\nd I am sure that many others who saw it will never forset it either. \Mienever I see a ruthless, careless automobile driver showing no mercy whatever to a cat, a dog or a chicken that happens to get in his wi.y. this incident comes back to me with special clearness.

In that message, which they ended with their characteristic "Cherrio," they told ot failing motors on their plane and a heavy rainstorm which obscured the ground from their view. They gave their position as "alsout one hundred miles east of Wyndham" â€" and then sank into the vastness of the .Australian bush, peopled by wild uncivilized savages, some of them cannibalistic pygmies.

The Empire and the Air United Empire (London): Sir Sam- uel Hoare, the Minister for Air. says that he gets a little tired ot com- plaints that others are doing so much better in the air than Great Britain. "You might think we had no Air Force at all and that British aviation scarcely existed." Such critics ob- viously linow nothing of the facts. Sir Samuel promises that when the two British airships are flying next year the Empire will see how great has been British progress.
