Keeping Man Healthy and Ward- ing Off Disease. 4 ; Cereals, vegetables and meat supply the elements néeded for man's nour- ishment. Yet fruit -- though it has very little food value---has proved to be absolutely necessary for perfect "health. . 2 " Careful investigation has shown that all the common fruits act on the er, Kidneys, Bowels and Skin, ese are the organs that rid the body f dead tissue and waste produsts, | nd the fruit juices stir them up to more vigorous actio thus keeping the whole body clean and healthy. But few people. eat enough fruit. Realizing this, after several years of experimenting, a prominent Canadian physician sucededed in combining the juices' of apples, oranges, figs and. prunes in such a way that the medi~ winal action is many times multiplied.

Tiny Community of British Subjects In Antarctic Regions Number One Hundred, of Whom Nearly All Are Men--Nova Scotian Skipper Pays Profitable Visit to the ice-Bound Whale-Fishers. The barquentine Strange; of Lunen- 'burg, N.8., came into po the other 'day carrying in her signal locker a house flag with a red ground and a white whale in the centre. This is the flag of the Argentine Fishing Co. It was a flag obtained on a trip to a British colony situated as. far south as men live. ; In the South Atlantic, just outside the Antarctic Circle, 1,700 miles to the southeast of Buenos Ayres, lies the island of South Georgia. It is 800 miles east southeast of the Falk- lands, contains about 1,100 square miles, and is a British erown colony belonging to the Falklands. : Capt. A. P. Strumm, a well built, fine-looking man, told how he hap- pened to go to South Georgia on a voyage strewn with icebergs and field ice, fogs and whales, and succeeded in getfing away with the charter safe- ly and clearing $5,600 for his owners in two months. The Stranger, with nearly the last of her load of lumber from Bridgewater, N.8., out of her, lay at the Boea, Buenos Ayres, wait ing for a cargo of hay or ballast to come north again. His ship broker told Capt. Strumm that the Compania Argentina wanted to charter for South Georgia, and in- side of an hour and a half the charter was the Stranger's, while three Nor- wegian barques, afraid of the ice, lay idle in the Platte. The barquentine took aboard 100 tons of coal as bal- last, 840 empty barrels and a nine-ton boiler for the strangest and most dis- tant whaling station. There ice and whales were found as plenty as stones in a Connecticut pasture. Arrived at the island, the Nova Scotian found a colony of sixty men "ashore and forty men afloat, manning a fleet of three small steamers en- gaged in whaling. The governor of South Georgia is Capt. C. A. Larsen, who was the commander of Dr. Otto Nordenskjold's exploring ship, the Antarctic, which was lost in 1902. In Capt limited possibilities of profit in the whale industry in the near Antarctic seas during his adventures, Capt. Strumm found a mot host. It was by Capt. Larsen's per- suasion that the Argentine Fishing Co. was organized. There is only one woman on the island, the wife of Capt. Larsen's brother, with the exeeption of a few weeks in each year when the cap- tain's wife comes to pay a visit. Mrs, Larsen has in her home a piano, an organ and a graphophone, books and plenty of fancy work. Nopotism among the employes pre- vails, and so far as Capt. Strumm could learn most of the men on the island and steamers are related in some way. In addition to his month: ly wage every man receives a bonus of half a cent on every cask of oil. Whales, whales! It is nothing but whales in these waters. 'There are narwhales, or unicorn whales; right whales and humpbacks, and while the Stranger lay in the bay one blue whale was taken that measured ninety-five feet The oil is sent to « Ayres, whenee it is transship- Furope and to some extent to a The plant on been established out 200 barrels from the right $7.50 a ton, and $3200.

Next year a floating station, consisting of a large steamer equipped with plenty of boats and.a trying-out plant, will. be run in condeetion with the land statioh. While Capt, Stramm was there a steamer came in, towing two right whales. 'Here's your freight," said Capt. Larsen to: Capt. Strumm. "Those {we whales are worth just $5,500." ' Right whales 'are the most rare.

By for the most {mons of the High- land regiments is the 42nd, otherwise khown as the Black Watch. The date of its origin, says a writer in Black- wood's, is uncertain. The author of "A Bhort History of the Blac k Watch," recently published, a history in which the achievemunts' of the Royal Highlanders are set forth with a modest and bnsiness-like sitoplicity, declares that the regiment came into being at least as early as 1725. Mr. Andw, Ross, in the "Military History of Perthshire," gives ita far lier birth. He dates its "historic succes- sion" from the 3rd of August; 1667, when.
