ES a WR ha a A see i A eg Ses Sea Bird Nests i -- Seen iar Inland Breeding Colonies of Gulls And Terns Arg Lecated Near the Thousand Islands Inter- rational Bridge Over the St. Lawrence Tourists travelling over the Thousand Islands International : Bridge and visitors to the St. Lawrence Islands Natiunal Park are amazed at the wealth of bird life, particularly sea birds, in the region. The international bridge spans the St. Lawrence River be- -tween Collins Landing, New York and Ivy Lea, Ont, and rests in part on two park islands--Goorg- ina and Constance. About two hundred islands may be seen from the bridge, and it is not uncom. mon to observe flocks of gulls, terns, and other water birds fish- ing and going through their graceful acronautics, In the my- riad of islands which dot the St. Lawrence between the bridge and Kingston, breeding colonies of gulls and terns and nesting places of many other kinds of birds are found. PROTECTED BY LAW Throughout the entire area most of the wild birds, including the gulls and terns, are protect- ed under Dominion or Provincial laws, and to injure them in any way, or to molest them unduly in their breeding colonies, is strictly prohibited at all times. War Can't Stop Cod Liver Oil Foreign Sources Disrupted, But Canada Carries on Supply of "Sunshine Vitamin" Because the war has disrupted normal forcign sources of cod liver oil, a- production program which should make Canada seif- sufficient in this ficld ;is being developed, it was learned last week, Ordinarily Canada imports 75 per cent of the cod liver oil used in this country. Two new refining plants have been established and several others are being "®quipped in Eastern Canada for production for cod liver oil, both of medie- "inal "quality and the kind used for feeding stock and poultry and in various commercial pro- cesses. TWO NEW PLANTS The two new ng? De lo- cated at Port Saxon, and the other at Fox Wa Sn the Gaspe, Que., district, are confin- ing their production to cod liver oil of medicinal value. A Halifax plant also produces this type of oil, on a smaller scale. Other plants, located in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick manufacture both types of oil. WORK.FOR SELF-SUFFICIENCY Annual consumption of cod liver oil in Canada for all pur- poses averages 460,000 gallons. Imports from Norway and the United Kingdom, major produc- ers of cod liver oil, now have dis- appeared. With Canada's production in- tensified, Canadian fishery scien- tists say production of medicinal oil could be increased to more than 200,000 gallons, Canadian output of cod liver oil in 1938, the latest year for which figures are available, included 62,600 gallons_.of medicinal quality and 109,000 gallons of oil for use in stoc'c and poultry feeding and other purposes. Mohair From Angora Goat Fleece is "Made Into Strong Lustrous Cloth The word "mohair" ~ comes from the Old Froiich mohaire, which traces back to the Arpbic mukhayyar, meaning fabries of goat's hair. Mohair fiber is ob- tained from Angora goats. Angora goats (named for their native place, Angora, in Asiatic Turkey) are said to have had a continuous_ and useful existence ever since the days of Abraham. - The Angora has long spiral horns and a luxurous crop of long white silky hair. It is from this flecce that the strong cloth called "mo- hair" is woven. 'Angora gouts are raised in quantities in Turkey, South-Africa, and in some parts of hab United States. IFFERS FROM WOOL' Mohair fiber is.7 to 10 inches long and. closely resembles wool, "except that the scales on the fiber - are only indicatedy nct fully de- .-veloped- ds fn wool, . Mohair is an 'oxtromely. diorable fiber with a fine luster. . It is widely used in fabrics which have to stand' up under hard usage, as in home and theatre furniture and in 'the. plush coverings of seats in railway coaches, The mo- hair may be mixed with silk in the weaving process, and has been imitated by the use of cotton and wool, 'Canadian Armed Merchant Cruiser Captures Enemy Ship H.M.C.S.

Eada RL SS RR I 2 What Science; Is Doing a a ag EE a SX SS EEE EERE VITAMIN MYSTERY CLEARED A new vitamin, biotin, the most potent and powerful physiological subsiance ever _ discovered, was described to the American Chemi- cal Society last week. Biotin, a colorless crystal, has been a chemical mystery for two years since the Netherlands sci- entists, F, Kogel and B. Tonnes, extracted a barely visible quan. tity from 250,000 year-old Chin- ese duck egg yolks. Biotin proves to be part of the vitamin B "complex," It is so powerful, it is measured in thous- ands of a millionth of a gram. Without it, soil germs, the azo- tobacter, which fix nitrogen for plant growth, are unable to work. This fixation is the base of all plant life, and therefore biotin probably is a primary source of all the food on earth, "WETTER" WATER 'WORKS A discovery that the chemicals which make "wetter'" water are good for killing numerous kinds of deadly germs 'was reported to the bicentennial conference of the University 'of Pennsylvania, , These chemicals are known as wetting agents, They make water 80 "wet" that it penetrates to the skins of birds and even of water fowl. were found in the same discovery to have exactly similar germ kill. ing powers, i AKED" GRAY MATTER A "diséovery that skilled surgi- cal .operations can ba performed on the (gray matter of the brain with nothing but an electrical cur. rent, has' just-been reported, The: skull is 'not opened, but merely touched with the tip of aft electric wire, The curiént does not remove the gray matter, but effectively bakes ang destroys it. * have done all the housework, Some new forms of soap .

"Well, if | had to eat candles I think | would, too." NC . A young man was a frequent caller at a house where there were four daughters, but it was .impos- sible to say which of them he pre- ferred. Ono evening the didest sister, Agatha, happened to be the only one in the house, and consequently she had the young man to herself. "Agatha, you look tired," he said. "l am a little," she replied, and wondered what might be coming next, "You see, I made an enor- mous batch of cakes and ples. Mother prefers my baking to the cook's, 1 also made a few pots of jam. Father's fond of jam. And 1 too." "Fine!" said the young man, Then he went on ardently: "Ag atha, there is a question I want to ask you, and my life's happiness may depend on your answer." 'Well, ask away," smiled Ag- atha, blushing.

ALR $ ,607,798 or 10.8% HEALTH TOPICS Vitamins and Health In a recent number of the (To- ronto) Academy Bulletin, Dr, Frederick 'Tisdall contributes an instructive atricle on Vitamins, He points out that 'according to the figures issued by the Bureau of Statistics at Ottawa, approxi. mately 44% of the caloric intake of Canadian people, based on an average daily intake of 3000 cal- ories, is practically devoid of vitamins. There is considerable evidence that Canadians suffer most from lack of the vitamins B1, D and sometimes vitamin C. A restric- tion in diet will accentuate this condition. During the progress of an infection the need for most vitamins is markedly increased. A similar need is seen during preg- nancy and lactation when the de- mand is doubled. ) Under ordinary conditions, if the individual takes a diet con- sisting of a pint to-a pint and a half of milk a day for children, one half a pint for adults, some meat, an egg a day, two liberal helpings of vegetables besides: po- tato, some raw fruit; some whole grain cereals, either in the form of brown bread or.breakfast cer- eals, and some vitamin D, (cod- liver oil or its equivalent), in the months from September' to June, he will be using all the known vitamins in adequate amounts. Under unusual conditions as in illness, pregnancy, lactation and any dietary restrictions, it may he necessary to give vitamins in their concentrated form. Dr. Tisdall discusses vitamins in considerable detail. About 15 vitamins have so far been demon- strated from animal experimental work, Nine have been shown ne- cessary for human nutrition, BIG BEN PERFECT Chewing Tol co Bird Dogs Enter Fall Field Trials Ontario "Association "Expects Big Crowds on Niagara-on- the:Lake the Middle of Oct- _ ober The fall field trails of the On- tario Bird Dog Association will be held at Niagara-on-the-Lake, October 19th and 20th, are the dates set.
