Dr. Wald reported that the vitamin fs' manufactured from a yellowish pigment in the visual purple, a chemical secreted in the retina, The newly discovered pigment has been named retinene, It is similar to the caroterie which gives corn and e¢ar- rots their yellow color and provides the body with a more familiar source of vitamin A. This was the first time any vita- min's chemical activity had been ob- served in the human body, Vitamin A's importance to human ision, like the visual purple, has Jong been known. "Night blindness," a fairly common trouble, followes a deficiency of the vitamin and some Could Not Wish Himself Nor Brush His Hair So bad was his rheumatism that his friends declared he would never work again, Although he is 70 years old, he proved they were wrong.

People said 1 should never work any more. | am working harder than a young 'man today. Thanks, many thanks to Kruschen Salts, 1 take them in my tea, and | have recom- mended them to many.

Rheumatic conditions are the re- sult of an exééss of uric acid in the body. Two 'of the ingredients of Krusehen Salts have the power of dissolving uric 'acid crystals. Other ingredients assist Nature to expel these dissolved crystals through the natural chanfiel. In addition, there are still other salts in Kruschen which prevent food fermentation in the intestines; and' thereby check the further accumulation not only of uric acid; but of other 'body: poisons which undermine the health. Fi ELEY iy s Ingerprint Montreal--Dr, Rosario Fontaine has raised the ante in this matter of the probability of two persons hav- ing identical fingerprints. Smiling to reporters and quoting a textbook written by Dr. V. Bal- thazard, dean of the University of Paris and founder of the ballistic system, Dr. Fontaine said: "The sun has time to become frigid and the world in general to pass away, or to be more exact, it would take 2,000,000,000,000,000,000 centuries before your fingerprint will be similar to those of somebody else. "Within this trifling number of years," said Dr. Fontaine, who is regarded as perhaps Canada's most distinguished criminologist, "it would be impossible to' meet - identical fingerprints. "The average lifetime of a gener ation is one-half century and, in consequence, it is possible to calcu- late that approximately 5,000,000,000 human beings live throughout a century. Each individual provides the world with 10 personal finger prints, thus making it possible for scientists or experts to secure, if necessary, 50,000,000,000 fingerprints in 100 years." Testifying in court, Dr. Fontaine gave the conservative estimate that .the odds against similar fingerprints were 64,000,000,000 to one.

This area has been frequently liken- ed to a great treasure chest of rare] Ont, minerals by reliable, seasoned min. ers who are not given to a superlative use of descriptive adjectives. Old Co- balters compare 'that "wonder camp" as a poor second to probabilities of the Great Bear area, Where Cobalt's veins, averaged inches in width, with comparatively short lengths, and where shallow seated, Great Bear's will show feet in width, great con- tinuous vein lengths with acknowl. edged indications that the veins will experience great depths, The mine run of ore contains high silver values sufficient to provide great net profits above the unusual high mining trans. portation and ore treatment costs, Ore chutes of phenomenally rich ore are encountered with a silver content as high as 10,000 ounces per ton. Co- balt's best hardly equalled this, "Supplementing the silver, the Great Bear ores contain a rich pitchblende carrying a radium content, the equal of any radium ore being mined to- day. On account of geographical loca- tion the transportation costs are ex- cessive, - With expanding riine opera- tions these costs have already, in three years' time, been cut in two and will 'be further reduced to a point in line with normal production costs. Great Bear js rapidly progressing from the 'pioneer discovery phase" of a new camp to that of a camp with at least three properties :n or nearing the productive stage, A source of electric power available locally bas been surveyed, possibilities estimated ad plans are being prepared to util- ize this power in the near future. Transportation problems will be solv. ed with railroad construction just 'as soon as the camp demonstrates that there is sufficent income to warrant the expenditures of construction and operation. .Rellable engineers and executives predict that ..is will be taken care cof in the near future, The Great Bear area has positively passed the initial hazardous ploneer period, always expérienced by new mining camps, and will, without doub*, pro- gress' rapidly to the position of an established community, Complement to the main Great Bear silver area, the Yellowknife, a new discovery of rich gold has been partially developed, and the Hottah Lake area, a rich uranfum oxide and Development and Prospects Lake Area A keen international interest is he "pitchblende discovery (ores of radi. um) both located south of Great Bear and on the probable railroad line to be constructed, Among the several properties being worked three have reached an advanc- ed stage of mining development, "The Eldorado Mine has erected a modern mining plant and mill, the latter sup- plemented by a refinitifi plant for ra- dium and silver ore at Port Colborne, Underground development has put quite a tonnage of high grade ore in sight besides. proviing for all mill requirements, Exploratory mining work has indicated new and will provide ore tonnage for expan. ding mine operations and definitely establishing the permanency of Eldor- ado as a profitable producer, The White Eagle Silver Mine has erected a mining plant and has de- finitely established a tonnage of ore reserves which warrant the construc- tion of a mill, the installation of which {s planned for the immediate future, The B,E.A.R, Mine at Contact Lake bas installed a mining plant follow- ing 'a considerable amount of surface exploration work, supplemented by several thousand feet of diamond drilling, Under-ground development work by means of a §00-foot adit tun- nel and a two compartment winze sunk 100 feet below the adit level floor with lateral workings from thls horizon, has established a tonnage ot high-grade silver and radium ore that warrants a greatly expanded under- ground mining development campalgn and the construction of a mill, The Mine Manager is at present in To- ronto in consultation with the man. agement in regard to plans for en- larged mine operations. and mill con- struction, B,E,A.R. holds a 60% equity in the Yellowknife Gold Mines where surface mining explorat- ing work has resulted In discoveries of gold-bearing veins which system: atic sampling has given gold values and width of veins which make the Yellowknife a discovery of major importance--as illustrative: Trail sampling provides the following: Sample A--Across 6 feet gave $51.80 gold per ton, } Sample B--Across 6 feet gave $47.25 gold per ton, bk Sample C--Across 3614 feet gave $9.70 per ton, The Great Bear area holds every promise of equalling and perhaps sur- passing "Cobalt" as a "Wonder" sil- ver producer, It may appear to be a distant pioneer today, but events move quickly. Such worth-while mer- its in profitable mine possibilities make the present handicaps but in- cldental and they will toon belong to the limbo of the past, Another Staking Rush Paul Michell, an' Indian, is réport. ed to have brought in rich samples from a find made on the west side of Lake Nipigon, about in line with the new Sturgeon River field. A new staking rush has started to the area, which "lies about 65 miles north -of Port Arthur, All available planes have been chartered for trips into the field: and many prospectors are also going in by boat across Lake Nipi- gon, : In the meantime, reports from the Sturgeon River fleld continue to bring news of strikes on' the various pro- perties and enthusiasm runs high.

T, Burwash, former gov- ernment geologist and president of this company, in a wire to local offi clals 'states, that he has staked 24 claims situated on Yellowknife Bay on which a quartz vein varying in width from one to twenty-four inches, has been uncovered with free gold visible at points along a length of 180 feet. Major Burwash adds that he is staking more claims to cover the area, which will bring thé total number of claims staked up to 80, The company' has already made substantial progress with surface ex- ploration on {ts original holdings in the Great Slave Area, and has traced a vein on this holding for some dis- tance with high grade values being obtained over good widths, GAS, INDIGESTION F you're. troubled with stomach dis- tress, gas, and your blood needs enric ing there's nothing so good Y as Dr, Pierce's Golden .

Buying by the United States gov- ernment is undoubtedly the main factor in the present advance and as they have only purchased a compar- atively small proportion of the amount necessary to bring their cur- rency backing up to the 25.95% ratio as authorized by Presiden. Ro- osevelt earlier in the year, The President's recent speech did: not make mention of either gold or silver j clear for further inflation. At- pre. sent the government bond . problem has been the chief barrier against fore positive silver or gold inflation, but it. is expected that this situation will be clarified ere long after which it seems to be likely that further in- flationary steps will be taken. At least that seems to be the concensus of opinion among leading financiers and economists. The United States situation is of distinct importance to Canada, particularly as it applies to silver and gold, as any further tink: ering along the lines taken earlier in the year, will react to the benefit of our mining industry. It will be in- teresting to note what action is eventually taken in view of the fore- casts which have been made by some of \the world's leading economists. Siscoe Gold Mines Ltd. For 'the nine months ending Sep- tember 30th this company is report. ed to have earned 'net profit, after all charges, of $903,048, equal to about 19 cents per share on the out standing capital stock, Total bullion produced for the per- fod amounted to $1,652,370, Silver Trading It {8 now definitely stated that Montreal and Toronto Silver Markets will be embraced by one organiza- tion as it Is recognized that there is not sufficient business to warrant the operation of two separate markets.

Variety and novelty to a striking degree seem assured for the forth- coming Royal Winter Fair, a fact made plan by the enlarged number of departmental prize lists and cata- logues containing new classifications, which are now being mailed to thousands of .exhibitors from the of- fices in Bay Street, Toronto. For the Royal really comprises "ten big shows in one," each appealing to widely dif- ferent interests, yet bound into unity by being gathered in a 25-acre space --larger than many a Dutch or Bel- gian farm--under one roof. The Royal Horse Show is now ac cepted as society's opening of the winter season for combined sport and i fashion, It is in a class apart so far as Canada is concerned, and finds its peer, this year, only at the smart New York Horse Show. An excellent program is being arranged with high- ly interesting special interludes, Then cattle exhibits for both dairy and beef breeds are assured of keen competifion from the United States. Not only are the best herds from the Middle West taking in the Royal at Toronto this year, but several are making a special point of their dis- play because tho Royal Winter Fair offers them the last opportunity to add points in their "all American contests" which cover six or eight of the large American Fairs, All the Canadian breed associations without exception promise first rate entries, The same cheery prospects are be- ing reported to the Royal Winter Fair management for the exhibits of sheep, swine, poultry, pet stock (in- cluding rabbits, guinea pigs and fancy fish), fruit, flowers, seeds and grains.

A gratifying feature of the pre- liminary work is that despite drought and other adverse conditions, Can- adian agriculturists, breeders, and stockmen from Prince Edward Island to the Rocky Mountains, are as de- termined and hopeful as in more pros perous years. "Their spirit cannot be downed,' was one admiring outburst at a com- mittee of the Royal this week, Russian Harvest Averages Normal, Soviets Declare Collectivization Credited With Offsetting Bad Weather - J Moscow -- Russia's harvest this year will approximate last year's good crop yield, despite spring droughts, according to first govern- ment reports issued here and con: firmed by impartial agricultural ex- perts. Preliminary reports indicate the average yield is about 10 bushels per acre which is considered a normal crop in Russia. The autonomous Caucasian Re. publics reaped the richest harvest, averaging about 40 bushels, North Caucasus and Volga grain regions averaged about 15 bushels. Eastern Ukraine, which the Monitor corre spondent has just toured, was the hardest hit by the drought. Kiey district, however, profited by the late rains and expects a harvest in excess of last year's. Superior organization of collec. tivized agriculture and various con- cessions to idividual peasants this spring are credited with accomplish- ing the unexpectedly good harvest despite unfavorable weather. Par ticular credit is due to the so-called "Politotdels" or political sections of the Communist Party consisting of carefully - selected groups of urban Communists who have worked in agricultural villages, These men and women, working directly under the Kremlin, were in. structed to win the peasants' confi dence and guard against previous abuses. By instituting new humane methods in the villages and convine- ing the peasants they now have "friends at court," these political sections have accomplished more all. their more ruthless predecessors, it is said. } The Government considers this year's harvest successes as final proof that complete collectivization will be possible by 1837 as stipulated in the second five-year plan. Partly through a new spirit of confidence in the Government's intentions, and artly through pressure exerted by tax advantages which are given to collectivized peasants, many hesi- tant individual peasants undoubtedly will be induced to join the collec. tives during the coming months, The Monitor correspondent discovered many evidences of this in touring the New tlze, tabs, or liquid, $1.35, All druggies, os J Taste No, 41--'34 Ukrainan villages. toward voluntary collectivization than | Improvement In Manitoba Winnipeg.-- Manitoba's furm pic- ture is definitely brighter than for several years past, says the Win. nipeg I'ribune_in a newspage story Basing the statement on opinions ¢ 4 tained from bankers aml mortgage officials the paper says the farmers nave regained faith and confidence in the future, Demand for Manitoba Durum wueat and malting bavley has lifted the tara mer out of the slough, Prices for grain were better this year, the piper says and threshing was finisned early.
