Success Attend the Presbat Gold Rush at Red Lake--The Queen's Professor of stitute of Mining and Montreal, March 6---Stating that ould success attend the present old rush at Red Lake, Ontario, an immense impetus would be given to prospecting in the whole district of Patricia, Prof. B. L. Bruce, .ot wSuest's University, read a paper to anadian Institute of Mi and lurgy yesterday af mn, en: "The Red Lake Area of Patri. cin. * Other remnants of basic rocks and of sediments were known to ex- ist, he said. Should the prospects of Red Lake "dévelop 'the problem of power would be one of vital import- ance, as the small water powers on ed Lake river were quite inade- ate. It was Prof. Bruce who first re- Speaks Before the In- at Montreal. ported on the prospects of the Red Lake district to the Ontario Govern- ment. While reading his paper at the Ottawa convention, Dr. W. F. James, Ottawa, of the Geblogical Survey of Canada, fainted in the arms of Prof. 8. N. Graham of Queen's, Kingston. Prof. Graham, after assisting in the carrying ont of Dr. James, returned at once to the rostrom, called the meeting to order, and said he would himself proceed with the reading of the paper. He had hardly got his fin- gers on the papers of the fainted lec- turer when Dr. James was séen to enter the hall, and hurriedly walked to the platform, brushing aside: all objections to his resumption 'of the interrupted paper.

Paris, March 6.--A bombshell has been thrown into the placid atmo- sphere of the Franco-Russian fin ancial negotiations in the shape of an accusation against the commissar at the Soviet embassy in Paris of forg- ing 4nd, with the aid of a band of Soviet agents, placing on the French market many Tris of upurious shares in the Lena gold fields. A meeting of the Bank. ers Sydicate was cdlled, and the sydicate advised the immediate cessation of dealing in these shares, but in the meantime complaints have poured in and up to the pres- ent it is alleged that 'at least 20,000, 000 francs worth of bogus stock shares have been folsted on French purchasers.

Arthur Mei- | ghen in the days when he was plain Mr. Meighen, boomeranged back .to him and closed the flood of speech. That hectic day revealed many in- teresting things. It opened with a speech from Ernest Lapointe--a care- ful and calculated speech--a 'speech with bite and yet with good humor. If T were president of a school for instructing adolescent youth im the art of good manners in public ufter- ance I would desire a series of lec- tures from Ernest Lapointe, He handles in that soft way of his an excoriating scalpel. He reaches un- der the epidermis of the ° men of bitter type like the Leader of the Opposition with magical deftness and precision. When Meighen speaks on matters of tense moment his voice hardens, the pupils of his eyes con- tract. One can see the hardening of the iron of his soul as he reaches further and further 'into his sub- conscions for bitter thoughts and still more bitter methods of express- ing them. Not so Lapointe. He smiles. He is the physician always seeing beyond the temporary suffer- ing of his patient the return of bet- ter health. "You are pained," he suggests, "from ingrowing conscious- ness of defeab"-take this closure 'pill --it is your own prescription--then a little rest in the country. You will feel better." And it was so and the adjournment took place. The Other ¢ Gains. I think it will be admitted, gen- erally that the Honorable - Charles Stewart came through the ordeal in good shape. No man had the oppor- tunity to answer more questions in the House. It was a poor day when he wasn't asked three or four ques- tions on the coal situation. An anthracite strike and winter weather makes an interesting time in On- tario. Couple with that coal miners olit of work in Alberta because of mild weather and you haven't your troubles to seek if you are Minister of the Interior. It is generally ad- mitted . that Stewart spoke better than usual and handled himself well. On the left of Mr. Speaker, Ben- nett of Calgary was outstanding. His mechanism for ejaculating words is unexcelled on the continent. He has had for many years a tendency to substitute words for thoughts. He still retains that characteristic. In youth he was notoriously bumptious and egotistical, His higher stand- ing in this session comes from the submergence of these depreciating qualities. He has a great capacity for hard work. His weakness is the constant tendency to over emphasis --~the insistent desire to give to an inch the importance of a mile and ,| to persist in this age of bobbed hair and six eylinders that we ought to be guided by ideas and conceptions which ran free and rampant in thoge good" old days whe Baxon Harold and Norman William exchanged com- pliments with battle axes on the bloody field of Hastings. ; Our Medicine Men, Medicine men have always flour ished. The ancient ones used signs symbols, rituals, formulae, the dust of dead foads dnd similar concoe- tions. The modern medicine men fo Parliament use Proteétion--that is now the great remedy--the modern pain killer. First however it is neces sary to prove this country sick. The Medicine men cannot flourish unless you can give the patient the idea that he has a stomach ache or appendi- <itis anything 4s. in line by way of cure--electric belts, Kruschen salts and Protection. Every day some member: tom the House that there is in Canada----that Mr. Raney Objcts to Statements of on. J» R. Cooke. Was Reduced Before He Became a Minister---Unfair Statement, Says Mr. Raney. Toronto. March 6.--Yesterday's session of the Ontario Legislature was both quiet and. brief, and Gov- ernment leaders disposed of many questions on the order paper, there- by divulging information on a variety of public matters. In addi- tion members introduced . a fow more private bills. Statements of Hon. J. R.' Cooke, minister without portfolio, in his | address Thursday evening, - brought | forth some protest from W, BE. | Raney; Progressive leader, but Pre- | mier Ferguson declared he fully con- | curred in the statements of his min- ister. Mr. Raney quoted Mr. Cooke as saying that he "(Mr. Ramey) had reduced taxation ' om distilleries while attorney-general, and thus as- gisted them in their business. Mr. Raney con'ended that the legislation mentioned was enacted before he be- came a minister. Premier Ferguson declared that Mr. Raney had given an enthusiastic ear to the plea of the distiliers, and had enabled them to progress by reducing their busi- ness assessment. Mr. Raney asked the Premier if he thought that kind of a statement was "fair." "I think no other construction could be pit-ion ay? the Premier replied." © "I am sorry the prime 'minister of this province should associate him- self with such a statement," Mr Raney said, and the matter ended there. A bill to give villages the same rights as tpwns of granting amounts tor work dome outside the muni- cipality was introduced by E, R. Wigle (Conservative, Huron Centre), When members' questions were answered, {t was stated that the Government had consul George Oakley, a member of the Legi@la- ture and ome of the largest dealers in stone in Canada, on the feasibility of using Canadian stone in the Gov- ernment's new administration build- ing in Queenls Park. Mr. Oakley's firm had received the contraet for the building. The Government had not requested the resignation of Mr. Oakley as member for Riverdale. Premier Ferguson stated that the Government had purchased gaso- line to the value of $16.268 for the government-owned aeroplanes. Hon. George 8S. Henry stated that 276 townships had taken advantage of ment grants by doing away with statute labor. W. BE. N.

Brook, Kingston. Cornwall, March 6.---The annual meeting of the officers of the Stor- mont, Dundas and Glengarry High- landers was held at the Cornwall Club yesterday. - The meeting decided to apply for permission to deposit the colors of the old 154th Battalion in Trinity Memorial Church, Cornwall. The ceremony will take place at some date in the near future. The annual inspection of the regi- ment took p'ace at the gym. of the Cornwall Collegiate Institute in the evening, being conducted by Lt.- Col. R. J. Brook, C:M.G., D.s8.0., M.C., general staff, Kingston. Gen- Elmsiey was unable to be pres- ent owing to illness. Colonel Brook was accompanied by the district paymaster, Capt. Pelly of Kingston. The regiment paraded over strength and was highly compli- mented by the juspecting officer. . HIGHER FR DUTIES COMING: Hon. W. R. Motherwell Recog~ nizes Necessity Created by : Climatic Conditions. Ottawa, March 6.--Forecastitg higher duties on fruits, Hon. W. R. Motherwell forestglled the requests of the Canadian Horticultural Society at yesterday's session of that body here. "What you want far more than in- crease in grant or legislation amend- ing the fruit act," he said, "is morp projection on your fruit from foreign competition and that is patural Anything like fruit or vegetables, or winter eggs that is subject to com- {| petition due to climatic conditions, which is thought to be unfair com- petition, demands some legislative consideration." With these words the Minjster of 'Agriculture, the Hon. W. R. Mother- well, somewhat spiked the guns of the Canadian Horticultural Council, before. they bad finished discussing in committee the proposals they were going to submit to the government for the amendment of the fruit and vegetable act, and particularly re- garding the imposition of a tariff on fmported fruits and vegetables, by Soprarive before 'them half an hour before 'the delegation waited on the Prime Minister, the Minister of Trdde and Commerce "and himself and asking them not to make any request for legislation this session.

The boiling point for ofit minute would be efféc- tive in killing most of the pathogenic or disease producing bacteria, but the physical composition of the milk would be so altered as to. make it less, digestable: A lower tempera- ture refore employed and the milk "held for a definite period. The same results are thus accomplished 'the ¥ 'of the milk same. The temperature to which fo must be heated 'and the length of time it must be held, before it may ghtfully be said to be pasteurized, was arrived at only, after eminent bacteriologists and chemists had made a thorough and - exhaustive kstudy of the guestion. "Of all the disease producing or- ganisms, it wag found that bacillus tuberculosis was the most resistant to 'heat. The thermal death point of bacillus tuberculosis or the tem- perature at which it was positively destroyed, would kill" all other patho- genic bacteria, as their thermal death points were in all found to be lower. 142 degrees Fahrenheit main- tained for 30 mikufes will destroy bovine bacillus tuberculosis and all other pathogenic bacteria. Better Than Tuberculin Testing. Why pasteurization in preference to compulsory tuberculin testing?
