\ NOW- A THICKER, HEAVIER PLUG FOR THE SAME MONEY! BIG BEN THE PERFECT Chewing Tobacco financial; SILVER AS IT AFFECTS CANADA The United States recent move in the remonetization of silver continues to create a good deal of discussion botli for and against the plan and many . articles of interest have appeared on the subject in various publications. To I Uie average Canadian citizen It may appear that all the hullabulo about the I "White Metal" is of little interest to them and while the individual may not be aftected directly through higher prices for silver, it is certain that from a I national standpoint they should be very much interested In the subject as it j would seem certain that Canada stands to benefit considerably should world ' prices tor the metal go higher. That this seems likely is the opinion expres- I 8ed by many experts who figure that .75 cents or even ?;i.00 per ounce is a ! possibility next year. I Should this prediction oe fulfilled the Dominion would benefit in a var- iety of ways, but generally through wider markets in the Orient for both natural and manufactured products. In considering this it should be kept In mind that of about eighteen bund- red million human beings on this earth some twelve hundred million do not know gold as a standard of value. Silver is their standard. In India for example if a native worker is paid a bank note for his services he immed- iately rushes to change the paper into Bllver rupees. To him, that is the only real money. In China a somewhat sim- ilar situation exists and silver is their only recognized standard of value. Would It not thus appear that an in. crease in the price for silver would have the effect of increasing the pur- chasing power of these and other countries using the silver standard? This conclusion seems natural. China for example through the increased price would get more for her metal of which she has a hugh stock and would therefore be able to buy more merchandise etc. As a Professor of Economics at one of Canada's leading Universities has stated, silver is be- ginning to move through Shanghai and through proceeds of sale of this metal in Europe and America, China will amass gold credits or possibly sterling credits. In view of the high price of gold bullion it seems unlikely that there will be any markpd move- ment of that metal to China, but ra- ther that exports of merchandise from Europe and America will be made, among wliich are Canadian wheat and lumber, as well as manufactured pro- ducts. The same authority says that with the Dominion Government com- mitted to a fairly heavy purchase of silver that China may sell us silver and buy our products in exchaflge. From another angle any further in- crease in the price of silver is likely to lead to several old silver produc- ing companies resuming operations, which will, of course, result in em- ployment foi a number of people and in other ways to increased business for mining supply houses, etc. More important, however, from a raining standpoint is the increased in- terest which has already been making itself evident in the Great Bear Lake district, the only new silver field dis- covered in recent years. Activity has increased during the current season j in this section and any further ad- 1 vance in the price of silver would un- j doubtedly lead to Intensified efforts . in the area, in turn resulting in fur- j ther employment and purchasing of . supplies of various kinds. Thus in a number of ways. Canada stands to benefit materially from higher prices ! tor silver, so that Individuals, both di- rectly and indirectly should also be keenly interested in developments in connection with .the remoetizatiOD of the "White Metal.'' the year amcjunis to I85ll.il.100 a« compared with $S5,04:i.KUi) for the «ame period in l!K!:;. an increase ut 37.4' per cent.

I The mineralized zone lie-s between | the grey quartz porphyry of the foot- I wall to the north and the chlorite | schist hanging wall to the south. The strike of the vein is east-west with a dip to the south. The find is reported as being one of the most Impressive looking in the district ana northern buying is said to be largely respen- sible for the recent strength and ac- tivity in the shares. Rouyn Reward Mines This company is reported as having awarded contract for five thousand ft. ot diamond drilling on its property adjoining Pontiac Rouyn in Rouyn Township, Quebec. Surface showings are said to be very encouraging and drilling will test conditions at depth. Should drilling results warrant it, a shaft will probably be started after drilling contract Is completed. Coniaurum Mines, Ltd. Exploration at this company's pro- perty is recently reported to have picked up a new orebody ou the 1000 foot level, west of the Goldale shaft. At time of writing ore length is said to be 280 feet, while on the 1250 foot level, what appears to be the same vein has been drifted on for over 40 feet and width averaging ten feet with values running .4 oz. per ton. George Weston, Ltd. It is reported that this company's earnings for the current year are run- ning well ahead of 1933 when they were $342,174 as against $137,322 in 1932. The company during thp depres- sion years acquired modern plants in Canada, Great Britain and the United States at greatly depreciated prices and has consolidated these into a smooth and profitable organization, while other companies in the same line were operating in the red. The company has 174.l:!6 common shares outstanding. Tumor Study Is Advanced Notable Discovery, Prolactin Cures Growth On Monkey naltlmnre, Md.-A notable mmor di.-;coveiT. hy which th« recently found milk liornioiie, prulaclin, was u.«ed with HuiKery to cause disappear- ance of a beniRii tumor iu the breast of a male monkey, was i e|H>rted in the Aineiieaii Journal of Cancer by three John Hopkins ncientisis. Prolactin is a clieniical secreted In- to the hlood by the pituitary gland, at the base of the brain. It Is so potent in duciiig breast milk that it makes even a tomcat give milk. Benign lumens are non-cancerous growths. Their study is hoped to of- fer more light on tlie cause and relief of cancel; Some medical men believe benign tiiiiiors may be foieruiiners of cancer, while the majority Uoiibt it. The experiment points in hormone unbalance as a delinlte cause ot the benign breast tumors, male and fe- male. "Both new diagnostic procedures and new modes of therapy are sug- gested," says the report, which la made by Charles F. Geschiker, M.D., Dean Lewis, M.D., former president ot the American Medical Association and Carl B. Hartman. The non.malignanl breadt growths were produced in monkeys at Johns Hopkins by giving them a sex hor- mone, oe.strin, this is a female hor- mone, but it induced the tumeroua growths even iu male monkeys. The fact that men's glands also produce small amounts of this female hormone is cited to show that oestrin upsets may account for this type of tumor in the male human. Assays or biological tests also showed the pre- sence of thi.s hormone concentrated in excess in women with the benign breast troubles. These oestrin observations strength. en the suspicion that hormone un- balance has something to do with be- nign breast tumors. They show too, that it is not an occasional great ex- cess of oestrin that causes the tum- ors, but "prolonged and uninterrupted stimulation by oestrin." The milk hormone prolactin which caused disappearance of male breast tumor is now being tried on female breast tumors of similar benign char- acter. Four types of this uon-fatal tumor were studied. They were gynecomaa. tia. which occurs most frequently in whits males between the ages of 30 and 40, virginal hypertropny, libosar- coma and cystic disease. The report said there might possibly be some connection also between oestrin and fibrosarcoma, a rare kind of breast cancer.

Ont<u-io Mineral Output Gains Mineral production from Ontario mines for the first six months of 1934 amounted to $48,709,866.00 which compares with $32,562,511.00 for the same period in 1933. Of the above to- tal gold production amounted to $21,. 603,242.00 and it is Interesting to note that these figures are taken on 1>a8is ot the old standard rate of ':20.67 per ounce. In other words the halt yearly output would show an even greater increase than at first appears. Nickel was the next largest item on the list with $15,016,000.00 while cop. per at $7,526,300.00 was third. The report prepared by the Ontario Department of Mines for the halt year, from which Uie above figures were' taken, states that the increase in tonnage milled by gold mining com- panies with a decline in per ounce re- covery indicates that lower grade ores are being treated by the larger pro- ducers. Construction Volume Advances Contracts awarded tor the month of August show an increase ot 21 per cent over July and U per cent in. crease over June. The figures for the Dominion of Canada, as compiled by MacLean Building Reports Ltd., am- ounted to $13,543,900 for August, $11,- 190,600 for July, and $12,208,900 for June.

Milwaukee. Wis.â€" Additional regu- lation of communications affecting the "character, quality and quauliry" of radio broadcasting service was pre- dicted in a report discussed by an American Bar Association committee. The association's committee on communications which forecast last year passage of legislation creating a federal communicaiions commission well in advance of the inti eduction of the Dill-Rayburn bill will present its report to the association conven- tion which opens here. Explaining the expected clianges In regulations will evolve from the re- quirement that the commission sub- mit to Congress recommemiations for new legislation on all p-liases of its activity, the report says "the commer. cial consequences of the comtnissiou's regulations will be tar reaching, but in all probability the social conse quenees will be even greater." "With the Communications Act of 1934 as the foundation, there will be erected thereon a further extension of the law, and it is this material which will truly determine the char- acter of regulation sought t" be exer- ci-^ed," the report says. "On the part of the new commis- sion. the rules, regulations and pro ccduial methods established by it, will substantially affect not only the great investments already made in the communication Held, and the com- mercial telephone, telegraph and la- *ilio service available, but also the character, quality and quantity ot ra- dio broadcasting service received by the people of the country. ' Soon after I entered the publish- ing bu.siness I thought it might not be a bad idea to read in advance some of the books to be brought out by the firm with which I was con- nected. At least, it would make a good impression. I put in a request, therefore, for a set of galleys of a certain book the publication of which was some months in the offig. There was a complete description of it in the cata- logue; there was a contract covering it, signed and in the safe; there was a jacket drawing in the manufactur- ing department against the day when salesmen's dummies should be made up, and the author, I knew, had re- ceived a substantial advance. But no one. I iliscover-^d, had so much as seen the manuscript. It wasn't even in existence â€" at leas not in its entirety. The author was working on it, the editor had seen the tirst two chapters and a resume of the rest. * • • I learned later, of course, that this procedure is very common in publishing and has resulted in some of the finest books on the market todayâ€" and some of the worst. A publisher finds, for example, that there is some phase of world politics, some aspect of history, some interpretation of art, on which there is little or no information available outside the strictly techni- cal or academic publications. He feels that there should be, that there is a market for it, that there are many people who would be interested in reading about such a phase or aspect or interpretation. He looks over the field of writers who know something about the sub- ject he selects, chooses one whom he feels by training and experience is competent to do the kind of book that he has in mind and who is not other- wise tied up with another publisher. He arranges a conference with the writer, perhaps takes him to lunch â€" a hallowed publishing tradition â€" and presents the idea to him. They talk it over. The writer goes home, makes a rough working out- line of what he thinks the book should be, maybe writes a chapter or two. Editor and writer confer again; revise, discuss and finally come to an agreement. A contract is signed and the author gets an ad- vance on royalty. .\nd again there are times when a publisher is confronted with a pro-i blem something like this;Perhaps at a house party or at a bar or in a country jail he has met some one who has been the hero of a series of ad- ventures that would make thrilling reading. This man may have looked upon strange corners of the globe or done things no man has done before. But he is not a writer. It is at this point that the editor intervenes with the proper solution of the problem â€" a "ghost -writer." Time was when a ghost writer was one of those persons who was known to exist, but who was never acknowledg- ed openly. Within recent years, how- ever, a much more rational attitude has sprung up oward this very use- ful workman. The public has grown to realize that it is unrea.sonable to demand] that a man should be a writer in ad- | dition to being a singer, explorer, ] song writer, aeronaut or lion tamer. ! The help of the ghost -ivriter is now \ openly accepted and he is frequent- ly given credit on the title page â€" and quite rightly so. Theories Are Put to Test Trench Fightinjr Now Obso- lete.

Rome. â€" Italian military authorities, calculating the results of the recent army manoeuvres, declared last week th.it trench warfare is obsolete. TROOPS MOVE FASTER Thi.'i conclusion, they said results from their observations of the new rapidity in troop movements due partly to the greatly increased use of tanks. They declared toe first onslaught of tanks and fast moving troops would break through a line of trenches and force fighting out into the open. The movement would tlien become so rapid that there would be no opportunity to dig trenches nor would there be anything gained by dl.eKing them. Contrasting the eventual war with the last they .«aiil that on the Western front when troops broke through, they entrenched themselves in new "in- verted V" positions as they came up againiit machine gun fire.

A Burden of Fat Gone Here is another case where th« trim, slim figure of youth has dig- placed the coarse, I'at outline of mid- dle age. It is a houoekeeper writing. She says : â€" "1 c. nnot say what weight 1 wa«, but I was very fat â€" a burden to myself. I have taken three bottles of KruNchen Sult.i, ami now I am quite slender. I am over 5<), and people take me for 40. 1 am more than proud of myseif. You can take it from me that every word of this is true. I took a teaspoonfui in hot water every morning till I u.-ied three bottles. Now I only take half a tea- .spoonful each morninsr. I rannot re- commend the Kruschen Salt.s enough, for they are worth their weight in gold."â€" (Mrs.) A. H. Kruschen Salts combat the cause of fat by as.sisting the internal organs to perform fheir functions properly â€" to throw off each day tho.se waste pro- duets and poisons which, if allowed to accumulate, will be converted by the body'.s chemi.stry into fatty tis-^ue. In the eventual war, the Italian ex- pert said, the attacking forces, after breaking through their enemy's lines, will not entrench but will continue to push forward with tanks. Con- sequently, the eventual war will be witli the opposing forces moving back and forth much more rapidly over the battle territory with their gains and losses of ground much more con- siderable. The experts said they also expect- ed to fight the eventual war with much fewer men at the front, one reai^on being a greater use of mathe- matical weapons and another the dif- ficulty of maintaining a sen-ice of supplies owing to enemy aircraft. BRITAIN' ACTS London, Eng. â€" An increasing con- viction that another war in Europe would be more open and mechanized than conflicts of the past has result- ed in the creation this summer of Great Britain's first permanent tank brigade. Explaining this important transfor- mation within the army, a war office spokesman asserted that statement* that "trench warfare has ended" are a matter of opinion. But the value of tanks is now firmly established, he added. The ability of a large-sized tank force to make an effective move of 100 miles within 24 hours is no long- er disputed, he said- But an import- ant issue, he said, is the question of hfcw much airplanes ca.n interfere with the usefulness of tanks. Only last week the first tank bri- gade participated in manoeuvres on the Wiltshire plains, while reconnoi- tering aircraft circled over the coun- tryside across which the tanks were moving. REFUSES TO COMMENT While admitting that the planes were brought into the war game to make the effective operation of the tanks as difficult as possible, the war office spokesman declined to com- ment on the results of the manoeuv- res. Unofficial reports, however, said aviators found it difficult to keep sight of the tanks once they had de- ployed over the wooden countryside. Three conditions tended to prevent a real test of the questions uppermost in the minds of British military au- thority. First, privatelj-owned fences and other barriers which in war time would have been an obstacle, cramped the style of the tanks; second, that tanks w-ere unaided by their own fighting aircraft, which normally would interfere with enemy planes; third, in real warfare the deductions of the enemy command would be like- ly to be more confused by many re ports of tank movements. IMPORTANT LESSON It was understood that an important lesijon learned in the manoeuvres was the ability of tanks to make changes in the direction of their movements without detection. It was also deter- mined that they can be controlled easily despite wide dispersion. The war office spokesman explain- ed that prior to this year the British army possessed only temporary, sep- arate tank units for training pur- poses. The first brigade, now a permanent establishment, compiises a total of 205 tanks divided into four battalions. Three battalions are comprised of 27 medium and 2 light tanks each, while the fourth has 58 light tanks. The concentration of tanks in one organization involves no increase in the total strength in tanks. The ma- chines are up to II years old. /?Jt.
