D. Wills' wandering dog was all ready to come home Friday, to Tyrone, Pa., after an absence of more than a year in which he travelled about 660 miles. The pedigreed animal disappeared from home, on August 8th, 1936. Last week Wills received a letter from Lester Halverson, of Leland, 111., advising that Halverson had found the (log, starving on a roadside near Leland.

"VL CAUSE oly wrappec r MONEY BACK if GET YOURS NOW A Reducing Diet Based On Bread Hamilton Women Conduct Successful Experiment on How to Reduce Without Hunger or Fatigue -- Health Experts Will Check on Results. How to reduce without hunger or fatigue on a diet hat any woman can follow, has been discovered by a group of Hamilton women. Result* of an experiment in reducing conducted under the supervision of a physician by 16 women in Hamilton, just announced, show that the women lost in weight, amounts ranging from nine to thirteen pounds each. Amazing feature of the diet followed by the women in the test was that it was based principally on bread, the one item usually avoided in the ordinary reducing diet. The Hamilton experiment was conducted under the direction of Mrs. Thomas Taylor, mother of four athletic daughters and energetic exponent of personal health. Five Times a Day Organizing the group of women to test the bread diet which was already popular in Britain, Mrs. Taylor had the assistance of Dr. J. E. Tilden, Hamilton physician, who supervised the test, examined the women before and after the diet period and recorded their weights before starting and at the end of each week of the diet. Though the British diet popularized by Elizabeth Ann Loring used plain white bread, for the Hamilton experiment the group used a special loaf prepared from a recipe made up by Lloyd Jackson, cereal chemist. This bread was slightly higher in protein and mineral salt content than the ordinary loaf. The diet consisted of two ordinary slices of bread with butter, five times a day. Twice a day the women drank half a pint of milk with the bread. They also had tomato juice and were allowed tea or coffee. The meals were spaced out during the day at fairly regular intervals. Loss In Measurements Most 'interesting feature of the results was the loss in measurements that accompanied the reduction in weight. This reduction in waist, hip or bust measurement tended to occur where it was most needed, according to Dr. Tilden. Losing 13 pounds, one woman lost two and a half inches from the bust, three and a half from the waist and five from the hips. Another dropped ten pounds to reduce her bust two inches, hips one inch and waist seven inches. In each case, the reduction occurred where it was moct needed. Interviewed at the end of the test, Mrs. G. Cremer, who lost 18 pounds, was enthusiastic about the pep she continued to have all through the diet period. Mrs. R. Richmond had a happy experience because a fur coat which had become too small two years before as her weight increased, now fitted her beautifully again. Results of the test are being studied by dieticians and health experts and may possibly be made the basis of an education health campaign in dieting. "Roosternapping" Is Latest Crime Beautificus, a pedigreed rooster, was probably the meaty part of a stew in Dallas, Texas, last week. The deadline for his release of $26 ransom passed and Attorney Maury Tughes, his owner, feared the worst. Hughes had been instructed to place $25 in a tin can at a spot in the residential section. Failure to follow instructions, the ransom demand said, would place Beautificus in a stew pot. Hughes knew the "roosternappers" were on the level--they enclosed two of Beautificus' tail feathers with their The Deepest Dive 820 Feet Down An Italian naval officer this week descended 820 feet into the waters of the Mediterranean in a newly-invented diving suit weighing 900 lbs. at La Spezia, Italy.

I know ot no European country where the mass of the people are sympathetic with the aggressive expressions of some of their leaders. In many countries, desperate economic conditions have created mass tear. Ruthless, cynical and irresponsible leadership is gambling to keep itself In power. Just as there are constructive psychological factors beneath the surface, so there are favourable economic forces at work. Those of us who continue to feel hopeful base our optimism upon the belief that idealism is not dead and that it cannot be long before econ- i give Sixty-Ninth Annual Meeting Royal Bank of Canada Expansion of Foreign Markets for Canadian Wheat Pressing National Problem, Says Morris W. Wilson. -- Urges Reciprocal Trade Agreements to Secure Outlets for Staple Commodities. -- Drought Problem Reviewed. Bank's Balance Sheet Reflects Satisfactory Year for Business States Sydney G. Dobs on. -- Looks for Reasonably Good Conditions In 1938. -- Answers Alberta Critics. The expansion of foreign markets for Canadian wheat by reciprocal trade agreements and a truly national approach to the drought problem were urged by Morris W. Wilson, President and Managing Director, at the Sixty-ninth Annual Meeting of The Royal Bank of Canada. Canada was a fortunate country stated Mr. Wilson. The high level of national well-being reached by the phenomenal recovery of 1936 was maintained in 1937 and the activity in most lines of business compared not unfavourably with the record year of 1929. A tragic exception to the general improvement was experienced in the Prairie Provinces. Obviously the need which exists is acute, the situation could not be handled by the Province, and the Federal Government is to be commended for having shouldered the greater part of the burden. The immediate problems created by the drought require emergency measures; but a situation has also been brought to a head which has been unsatisfactory for years ahd requires treatment on a national basis. Large areas, ordinarily unsuitable for the purpose, have been planted to grain. Under favourable weather conditions the crop from an area equal to that planted in recent years would furnish serious marketing problems. The efforts towards self-sufficiency in food supplies on the part of many countries, and particularly Germany, France and Italy, have also narrowed the International market for wheat and flour to a point where total overseas sales of the four important non-European exporters have been reduced (Cro . July ; Millions of Bushels It is a sad commentary crop in Canada, unless ; by crop failures in othe would bring little more t eration to our farmers : than they have secured in the years of drought. There was no single remedy to bring about improvement, said Mr. Wilson. Diversified agriculture, withdrawal of sub-marginal land from wheat, and more scientific methods would help. But these should be combined with exceptional efforts on the part of the government to open the doors of foreign markets, so that when Canadian farmers again reap a good crop the wheat may be sold to advantage. It Is clear that the Prairie Provinces cannot solve this problem alone. This is a task which calls for prolonged, consistent and wholehearted co-operation. The best possible hope of securing outlets for our grain and other agricultural products is through negotiations wtth countries which are now growing food crops at an exorbitant cost. I view with satisfaction the present tendency among democratic countries to break down barriers impeding the natural flow of business. \£ith the general statement that Canada should admit freely articles not produced within the country there can be little basis for disagreement. But I would go further and say that reduced tariffs should be applied to articles which are made in Canada only on a restricted and uneconomic The problem is not simple, but studies undertaken by the Tariff Board to determine what concessions should be made to foreign countries in exchange for an important market for our staple commodities, should receive the support and encouragement of experts from the industries directly affected. MINING The continued growth of mining had contributed materially to the general welfare of the country, said Mr. Wilson. During the past year, he said, production of gold, copper, nickel and zinc, has been between two and two and one-half times the high level of production attained in 1929. It is estimated that in 1937 the expenditures of the mining Industry for wages and supplies have been between $225 and $2511 million. Of $300 million paid in dividends by Canadian companies in 193", one-third was paid by the mines. who are most dei UNITED STATES One of the most important questions of the day is whether the United States is merely experiencing an interruption in the long term trend of recovery, or whether the wheel has turned full circle and the country is again facing a major depression. In my opinion, fundamental conditions now and in the period immediately preceding the last depression are not comparable. One would be tempted to say without hesitation that the pres-setback is merely a temporary re-lion, were it not for the unfortun-lack of co-operation that exists veen Government and business. surely cannot be long before a t for practical co-operation been government. Industry and lab-will be adopted. CONCLUSION: Where the recent prosperity in the United Slates has been dependent mainly upon large-scale government deficits, the Canadian recovery took its origin from foreign trade. Without doubt, prosperity based upon world demand for Canadian products is more soundly established than i that based upon deficit spending. Sixty per cent, of our exports go to countries other than the United States, and even with a substantial decline in exports to that country, total Canadian prosperiy should be only moderately affected. On the whole, I look forward to 1938 as a year in which--barring some upset in international affairs not presently anticipated--1 expect to see an improvement from present levels in the United States, and a furthe • orderly economic reconstruction in many foreign countries. If this proves to be an accurate forecast, we can, I believe, look forward to further substantial progress towards full recoverv in Canada. GENERAL MANAGER'S ADDRESS In reviewing the general Balance Sheet, Mr. S. G. Dobson, General Manager, referred with satisfaction to an increase of $14,000,000 in total assets, a renewal of the upward trend in commercial loans anu a growth of 190 million dollars in Royal Bank deposits in less than five years. Conditions in Canada definitely improved during the year, said Mr. Dob-son, the one dark spot being the drought areas in Western Canada. Referring to the unfair criticism in Alberta, Mr. Dobson said in this campaign of misrepresentation, efforts have been made to stir up resentment against the banks. And yet, during the last five years not in one single instance has any farmer or home owner in Alberta been deprived of his farm or home by this bank through To demonstrate the wide diversity of services banks provide, Mr. Dobson took occasion to analyze certain of the bank's figures. At the end of the year, the bank had on its books loans to farmers totalling $16,000,000, to retail merchants $21,000,000, to professional men and other private individuals $51,000,000. As a further example of the extent to which we facilitate the affairs of what might be termed the "smaller client", I may say we had loans outstanding to 61,000 borrowers whose liability to the bank did not exceed $500 each. In conclusion, Mr. Dobson said that a profitable year for business was clearly reflected in the Bank's own balance sheet for 1937. pitching V T< TORTURE In A Min For Quick relief from the Itching of eczema, pimples, athlete's foot, scales, rashes Bnd other skin truptioni, apply Dr. Dennis' pure, cooling, antlsep-tto, liquid D.
