Canatha Not Depending so Much on Coal From United States as Five Years Ago Mir. Cheries Camsell Deputy Minister of Mines, Addresses Kiwanians on the Coal Situation--Other Fuels Take © Place of Ame rican Product. Mr. Charles Camsell, Deput; Minister of Mines, in addressing the members of the Kfwanis Club at their luncheon at the Frontenac Hotel on Monday stressed the fact that the Canadian people were not to-day depending as much on an- thracite and imported coal as they were up to five years ago and they were using substitutes to consider- able exfent, with great success. "He explained what had been accomplish- ed by the Dominion Fuel Board in the past four years and gave his audience a resume of the avenues that had been investigated with re- gard to the coal supply of Ontario to avoid suffering the effects of strikes In American coal mines or other conditions that might arise to create confusion fn the coal supply. The subject of his address was "The Coal Situation in Ontario." : At the outset of his remarks, the Without Salves or Cutting Thousands who have piles have not learned that quick and permanent re- lef can only be accomplished with in- ternal medicine.

There had been changes during the last four years snd since the for- mation of the Dominion Fuel Board in 1922 there had been a continuous study of the coal situation as it af- fected this country. Up until that time there had beem mo continuous study. "Why have we a fuel problem?" asked the speaker. He answered his own question by declaring that it was due to the fact that the coal resources were not evenly distri buted over the face of the earth. The result had been a coal problem. MR. CHARLES CAMSELL This was the only country in the British Empire that had that pro- blem, the speaker sald. United States also had a big coal problem. Canada's Coal. Continuing he said. "We have nearly all the nickel of the world. No other country has it. We have no coal in Ontario of any conse- quence although there is evidence of it on the James Bay slope. There is some near Sydney, N.S., and some in New Brunswick. These represent only two per cent. of the reserves in Canada. Alberta has the coal fields of Canada and it has all grades of coal." i. "Four years ago." stated Mr. Cam- sell, "we Imported five million tons of coal and strikes and other troubles created hardships here in connection with the coal supply. Our domestic and industrial coal was affected... There have always been difficulties in our domestic coal sup- ply and even bills were passed to prohibit the export of coal from the United States into Canada. The cost of production was increasing and the market in the States was enlarging." : ; The speaker romarked that at the present rate the supply over there would be exhausted within the cen- tury, and that the supply in Pennsyl- vania reserves would be exhausted within thirty or thirty-five years. He said that the situation in Canada was no different from that of the New England states during the | strike periods, but the United States was generous to Canada and Canada had always received her quota. Still there was always the danger of In- terruption and embargo on the Cana- dian supply and for that reason fit was necessary to make a close study of the situation to see what could be done about overcoming these condi- tions. * What the Fuel Board Did. On the creation of the Fuel Board in 1922 it was the desire to see what could replace the export of coal from the United States. The idea was that anthracite from South Wales might replace the United States ex- port. There would be time for that between April' and August when the Welsh mines worked only on half-production. The producers of the mines saw the possibilities of exporting to Canada and they sent their agents here and immediately arranged for moving their coal from the mines there to Canada. There was the question of freight but the fact that there were more boats com- ing to Canada than going from Can- ada fitted nicely into the scheme and there were plenty of ships to handle the coal. The next avenue investigated by the Fuel Board was the use of coke as a substitute for anthracite. The {dea was new to a great many peo- ple. It was hard to handle and the coke production was not heavy here. At that time the only ovens were at Sydney, N.8., and there was only a Umited supply available. But the advantages outweighed the disad- van! * If there were coke ovens at Montreal, the speaker said, the situation would be relieved consider- ably. There were all the by-pro- ducts to be considered as well, gas, sulphate of smmgnia, tar ofls and light oils. : {Ing table with all its brushes and | combs and little pots and boxes, and { dear, why didn't I ever think of it { and his eyebrows and nose with all} { must say; I'm better looking with | my nose powdered and my cheeks petition with closer were points to be considered. vg The Little Old Lady. The next place Snitcher Snatch went to, he made a mistake. There were no children in the house at all. As he slid once. "You can always tell," he re marked as he looked about. "Not a thing out of order--not a crooked rug, or a bit of mud, or a scratch on the wood-work, or a finger mark on the wallpaper! Humph! I don't want to stay here." Snitcher Snatch was a peculiar goblin. He liked children all to pleces, although you'd never have guessed it from the way he loved to spoil their toys. But that was the only way he knew how to play--to spoil things, and after all I know children who play that way, too! "I'm not going to stay here," he scowled. "No fun where there aren't any children. Things are too much in order here to suit me, I'll just be going the way I came." But suddenly he spled the dress- forgetting, what he said about go- ing, he went and looked it 'over. Suddenly he had an idea. "Oh, before," he cried. have a circus." So he opened all the little boxes and pots and sitting up on the pin- cushion, he began to dab his cheeks | "I'm going to sorts of stuff. | "Well," he sald, taking a hand mirror and looking himself over, "I nr American coal much The whole thing depended on the freight rates, the speaker stated. The noral rate of $12.70 would be $19 under that freight rate and he declared that it would be necessary for a reduction in the charges of transportation. The railway says that $9 is the minimum rate to move the coal to the consuming area of Ontario but $7 is the rate selected before Alberta coal can come into Ontario. It is a question if they can do business on that basis, he sald. There were only two ways that Alberta coal could be marketed here. One 'was by reducing the freight rates and the other by rais- ing the tariff on coal but by doing the latter it would mean that the price would be higher to the manu- facturer. Other Things Considered. There were several other avenues considered by the Board, one of which was the adoption of the use of Virginia coal, generally known as smokeless coal. It comes into Can- ada by way of Toledo and run by railway to Toronto and Hamilton. The Northern States use it for an- thracite and it is giving great satis. faction. Electricity received only momen- tary consideration because of the great cost of electricity for heating purposes. It could not compete with coal because of its price unless coal jumped to about $30 a ton. Many, said the speaker, were using oil now, not so much in Ontario but down In the States it was in use, so much go that there was fear for the life of the oil reserves and a commission was appointed to look into the mat- ter. . The question of the use of peat was another consideration of the Fuel Board. There are great re- serves of peat here and in Quebec. It i in great use in northern Eur- opean countries and Hon. Mr. Cam- sell stated that he had great faith in the manufacture of peat here. As a result of all this, there has been a falling off in the imports of coal and the figures of comparison of 1922 and 1925 show this. In 1922 the import of coal amounted to five million tons and in 1925 to only three million, a reduction of twg millions, Other fuels than an- thracite are being burned and these two million tons of anthracite saved are replaced by other fuels. The three substitutes for the American anthracite are the British high grade coal, coke and the Virginia coal.

Maybe it was the hair Mrs. Budkins had cut off when she had her-hair bobbed. Or maybe it was the hair she pinned on when she got tired of it being bobbed. But | anyway it was there and the goblin found it and twisted it all around, his head. a Next he found a pair of Mister Budkin's glasses and put them om They were much too large, but as the goblin's nose was so very long, he managed to make them stick on. "Well, well, well! If it wasn't for my clothes, you'd never know me," he chuckled. Maybe I can find some- thing." He began to pull open bureau drawers and cupboard doors, and af- ter while he found a nice soft white shawl, and put it round his should- | ers, i Suddenly he had a shock. : For there were sounds out of the fireplace by which he had entered. "It's Johnny Sweep and the Twins! They're after me," he shiver- ed. "Oh, dear! Where'll I go? Where can I hide!" He hadn't much time to think, for' already he could see Nick's feet com- ing down the flue. Before Nancy and Nick and John- ny Sweep had quite time to scramble out of the chimney, Saitcher Snatch made a dive for the bed and pulled up the covers' Then he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. "Sh! whispered Nancy. "There's nobody here but a little old lady." (To Be Continued.) up. Oh, say! ! - Rheumatism If So Crippled You Can't Use Arma or Legs Rheuma Will Bring Quick Relief or Nothing to Pay. If you suffer from torturing rheu- matic pains, swollen, twisted joints, and suffer intensely hecause your sys- tem is full of the dangerous poison that makes thousands helpless and kills hundreds years before their time, then you need Rieuma, and need it now. i Rheuma acts with speed; it often brings in just a few days the relief you have prayed for. It helps an- tagonize and drive from the system the deadly poisons that cause Rhue- matic agony, twisted, swollen, un- sightly joints and sore muscles Rheuma js harmless--quick acting and one discovery that has forced Rheumatism to yield and disappear. Don't continue to suffer Rheumatic torture--get a bottle of Rheuma from James B. McLeod of Kingston and Wallace's Drug Store of Napanee, | or any druggist to-day. It must rid Jou of all Rheumatic pain or money ck. ! 1923 the amount of coke used was 270,000 tons, but the figure has Jumped to 670,000 tons within the Past two years. The increase in the use of Virginia coal has been great in the United States but not so much in Canada. In cofcluding his splendid ad- dress, the speaker spated that we were getting away from depending on one source alone for a coal sup- ply and it a strike in the Pennsyl- vania fields broke out now, it would not affeet Canada nearly as much, if at all, as it would have done five years ago before these other means were established to replace the Am- erican anthracite to the extent of two million tons. } A hearty vote of trinks to the speaker was moved by Kiwanian Stewart Crawford and the apprecia- tion of the club for the splendid ad- dress was amply expressed by the president and members. The booster for the day was Kiwanian James Halliday and the winners were Ki- wanians James Sowards, W. K. Mac- nee, Roy Boyd, R. Fair, L. W. Lock- ett and Frank Anglin. Bach per- son was presented with a leather key holder. The prizes distributed were the New Edison electric lights. The death took place on Tuesday, | at North Fredericksburg, of Thomas A. Galt, aged. sixty-eight years. L. A. Boyle has rented his farm near Gananoque Junction and short-| br moves to Gananoque. { PILES Must ODNTMENT etn be any case of Itching, Blind, Foreign Countries.
