Long before the white man came to North America, the Indians of British Columbia had a white sugar derived from the foliage of 'the Douglas fir tree. Prof. John Davidson, University of British Columbia, assisted by James Teit, has given ug the results of his study of sugar-bearing fir trees. The sugar appears in small white masses and in small flakes, It is quite hard and dry, not at all sticky, and tastes like a high quality of refined sugar. . At first Professor Davidson thought that the sugar appeared as the result Jot aphides which punctured the foli- age. But he soon discovered that in- sects were not present and that only He therefore came to the correct "| conclusion that the phenomenon was the result of atmospheric causes. In the" dry-belt region the abundant sun- shine produces an excess of carbohy- drates. Moreover, the same abundant sun so heats the ground that there is great pressure in the roots of the fir trees even at night." As a result the | leaves become water gorged and ex- 'ude water through tneir tips. This water is quickly evaporated and 'the sugar is left. Though the Douglas fir trees will dependable source of sup-| ply for sugar, the sugar will always be valuable to chemists and phy- siclans. eee ites. - Portugal's clima is. much milde than that of Spain ; : The is to make | rich 'blood, which reaches every ringing with it new | © vitality. | vb to the bene-| fit they have fc ros in the use of Dr.| Williams' Pink Pills when run down in health.
