The injury Is slight from a height of 12 inches. Potatoes, therefore, should be rolled; or poured carefully into the bags. Dried fruits and vegetables which ave been preserved by drying where inning was not available should be stored in air-tight containers. Tin is and glass jars are satisfactory, paper bags dipped in wax and allowed to dry. The bags should be carefully sealed and stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Tale of Heroic Achievement Marks C. P. R. 9s 50th Anniversary jellachie Day, November 7, xt marks the fiftieth anniversary of the driving of the last spike, final completion of tne Canadian Pacific line from Montreal to Vancouver and the final consummation of Canadian Confederation. Arrrangements are now being made for its fitting celebration so that Canadian Pacific people and the country in general may be reminded of the part this Company has played in national development. It is particularly fitting that the Company's jubilee year should be marked by the appearance of an Important book bearing on Its history and the new volume by J. Murray Gibbon, whose picture is shown above, will be the more welcome on that account. It is entitled "Steel of Empire" and apart from its special interest to Canadian Pacific people as a most complete and interesting history of their own Company, it is so comprehensive and fascinating a tale of the discovery and development of Canada that it will make a strong ! appeal to all who are interested in this country. It is published by the Bobbs Merrill Company in the United States and by McClelland & Stewart in Canada and appears as an extremely handsome volume. Sixteen full colour illustrations and over two hundred in black and white help carry the interest throughout, aided by a series of explanatory maps. It sells at ?3.50 a copy. Despite its wide range of information and the vast amount of reading and research that clearly has gone into its making, it is full of human interest and is an absorbing record of the human desires and ambitions that have become the foundation stones of Canadian nationality. History of the Canadian Pacific as it may be, it is a fascinating and important book long before the author gets around to that great institution. The early history of transportation by trail and canoe is told with a wealth of chatty incident and in the light readable style that one would expect from this accomplished author. Mr. Gibbon very largely ignores the common-place history book stories of early settlement and lays before us new incidents and hitherto neglected movements that led to the exploration and final conquering of the Canadian wilderness. Thus, he recalls that in the time of Queen Anne the new demand for tea and the tremendous vogue for Chinese porcelain and for Chinese house decorations turned merchant eyes towards the Orient and sharpened the desire to find the North West passage. In a large sense the book is the story of the search for and the ultimate building of a new road to the Pacific. The fur trade, gold discoveries and ultimately the opening up of the country as a land for settlement each played their big part in the development of Canada, but it was the search for the road to the "East" that drew adventurous pioneer souls forward until Canada had become a Dominion and the Canadian Pacific Railway had been built,
