The Fruit Treatment—which is the. intensified juices of apples, oranges, gs and prunescombined with tonics —will always relieve Dyspepsia. Mrs. Thomas Evans, Everett, Ont., tays: “I have been troubled for years with Dyspepsia, Liver and- Kidney Disease from which it was impossible to get relief until I took “Fruit-a- tives’.

Three and ‘ half miles distant from this little construction centre, which has virtually been called into being through the lining of the Connaught Tunnel, hangs the great Illecillewaet Glacier on the slopes of Mount Mac- donald and two miles nearer nestles Glacier House, the annual mecca of thousands of summer tourists. ‘ew of the surrounding peaks at Glacier are less than 9,000 feet in altitude. The famous Cheops, Mount Sir Donald, Ross, Eagle and Abbott Peaks en- circle the little settlement. In winter time a blanket of snow enfolds town and mountains alike In spring the brilliant yellow slide lilies follow the ever-reced- ing snow line as it climbs higher and higher up the mountain sides. Life is enlivened in the summer time by the crowds of guests who throng Glacier House and transforms the scene again with generous splashes of orange, crimson and russet., " mmon interest in the great engineering project um@er way has brought about a very “definite com- munity spirit at Glacier. For almost every young ster’s daddy works in the big tunne! in one or other of the various branches of work which the lining ‘de- mands, and every household is regulated by a schedule of working hours which begin at 5 a.m. and end at 1.15. Half a hundred children attend the little browr schoo! house and various clubs for the grown-ups provide interests of a recreational and cultural nature Engineers, foremen, carpenters, machinists, drillers, electricians, laborers and train crews make up wage earners among the 600 residents of Glacier. Single men live in a well ordered camp. Here, as in the little homes where the men with families live, all the conveniences of a modern city are enjoyed includ- ing electric lights and running water piped from a nearby mountain stream. The lining ef this five mile tunnel, the longest on the American continent, with a steel reinforced concrete jacket represents one of the most interesting re projects now under way anywhere in the we ‘or Beneath 6,000 feet of mountain the Connaught | : the apening short-cut in 1916 the Canadian ‘Pacific Railway overcame the many difficulties which the old Rogers Pass route had presented. Track curvature to an amount corresponding to seven com- plete circles was eliminated; the summit attained by the Railway was reduced by om gen ' hich had been neces- The lining of the “big hole” was begun in 1920 and when this work is completed the Connaught Tunnel will stand as one of the finest and most com- plete engineering jobs in the universe. Undertaken in the name of safety, the Connaught Tunnel has always been a “safety first” proposition. “Throughout its construction days, during the eight years it has been in operation and the four years that it has already taken to line it, it has been singularly free from accident. Nearly 500,000 sacks of Canadian cement will have gone into the lining of the Connaught Tunnel when it is finished. Practically all the machinery used in the work is Canadian made, including the huge compressors and powerfu! motors. The four types of rei 1 stee] collapsibie forms, which are used in the various stages of the lining process, came from a western Canadian plant and the Sydney E. Junkins Company, B.C., Limited, construction engi- neers are in charge of its lining. The tunnel’s concrete jacket is completed in sec- tions 22 feet long, each section taking about four or five days to prepare, when it is sometimes necessary to do considerable blasting,.one day~te fil] with con- crete and three days in which to set. Six complete sets of forms are at work within the tunnel whic means a completed section for evary working day in the week, or a total] of 132 feet in six days. More than 100 powerful flood lamps illuminate the cunnel at these six working points.

Citizens who know the facts about A SMOOTH POLITICIAN (Kincardine Reporter) Premier Ferguson is a smooth poli- ticlan. He puts it up to the people to vote for a measure they know noth- ing about. What does government contro] mean? As we understand it, every man and woman over 21 years of age can buy as much booze as they like. It doesn’t matter whether they drink it or not, there is no restriction to the quantity that may be purchas- ed. True, it must be taken to the home for consumption. There doesn't seem to be much control about that kind of law. The bootlegger can get all he wants. He can then adulterate {it and ply his nefarious trade with- out the trouble of operating a still, This doesn't look much like control. The O.T.A. is superior to any govern- ment control. WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON ON@& NOTHER (Gananoque Reporter) Everywhere people are coming to realize niore and more how interde- pendent we are upon each other. The only individual who is self-sufficient is a 4 he keynote—the foundation of civilization—is the family. We all concede that.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL (From the Toronto Star) Is is not the simple truth that ea vote for government control is: A vote to go into the liquor-selling business? A vote to place fresh temptation in the way of tens of thousands of men who have. sobered up under the O. T. A., in spité of all the allure- ments of the bootlegger? A vote to force the sale of intoxi- eants In hundreds of municipalities that were dry under local option for years before Ontario adopted — pro- hibition? . A vote to increase drinking, drunk- enness, bootlegging and reckless driving? : Unimpeachable records show- that the O.

CHURCH GIVING (Kingston Whig) It would appear to be growing old- fashioned for people to attend church service twice on Sunday. Ministers have to impress upon their congre- that there is servi¢e in the evening as well as in the morning Yet some of the best of men, who twenty years ago were always seen in their pews at Sunday morning service, have changed their routine and now appear only once. Even the pews of clergymen are often empty at the evening service. Times have changed. One very Godly man once put it this way: He never realized ful- attended morning service; taught a class in the Sunday school in the afternoon, and finished the day at evening service. He found Sunday, after years of this routine, to be any- } thing but a day of rest, and came to the conclusion that a Sunday evening spent In the bosom of his family was uite in order. This viewpoint is not city charges, for they desire to see their flock before them twice on a Sunday: It has been said minister who has a living message fo deliver will fill his church at all times.
