In the summer of 1010 His Royal H‘; the Prince of Wales made hle memorable tour of the Cans- dlan Dominion. It has been sn- nounced thst be is coming to Can- ada again in the early autumn of this year. This time he will come quite informally and unofllclally to n visit his live stock ranch in South- ern Alberta. This was a purchase made during his ofllclal tour four years ago. immediately after he purchased the ranch and before his return to England the Prince made arrangements for the shipment oi

liampshlrc sheep and twenty-three head of Sborthorn cattle from the Royal farms oi England.

There are other afid larger ranch- es in Alberta more than one of which have become internationally fam- ous. Among these the E. P. ranch, as the Prince's property is called, nllisdy holds a noteworthy distinc- tion for the number oi prize win- nlng animals it is producing in in- creasing numbers, the wide distri- bution they have gained through- out the Prairie Provinces, in the United States and in the British isles. The recognition thus ex- tended is no doubt based on merit“ but, the rank and world-wide popu- larity oi the princely proprietor we may be assured abstracts nothing from the fame of the E. P. ranch and its excellent live stock.

»We are mainly indebted to Agri- cultural and Industrial Progressln Canada, published by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company for the facts above outlined. The article makes it apparent that in its brief history the E. P. ranch has come to play an important part in the Western Live Stock industry. its establishment was an indication 0f the ‘importance attached to agricul- ture in the Domlnions of the Em- pire and a stimulus to the attain- ment of perfection in live stock breeding. And it has done much to bring British and Canadian ag- riculture closer together, anil to establish u higher appreciation for Canadian live stock in the Molbcr

In the year 1890 the total ex- ports of Canada amounted to $85,- 000,000, of which 6 per cent. were manufactured products. For the year ending February, 1923, the exports of the Dominion were $928,- 000,000, oi which 42 per cent. were finished products. This shows u tenfold increase in 33 yours. in

ever the gloomy pesslmists may imagine it would be hard to detect any “whisper of death" in Cana- da's export trade figures.

Every one oi them was warmly welcomed when hc came and at the end of their respective terms such Governor and his people parted with mutual regret. it was due to the high character and attainments of these men, and the skill with which they adapted themselves to the condi- tions of our country and the senti- ments oi our democratic people that their sustained popularity as worthy representatives of the Sov- ereign in Canada was thus assured.

TH E MORPHINE HABIT

addiction to morphine is on the increase. You have seen at least one of these victims at some time and the heartrending sight oi a blasted life has likely made its impression upon you.

How does it get its hold on its victims?

it sometimes is the result oi the careless use oi paregoric or laud- anum to pacify young children. 'l<‘ort.unately mothers are learn- lub more about these things and this cause is certainly (increasing. it may be due to the thoughtless treatment by the medical profess- ion. That it may be necessary in emergenclesls admitted, but the patient should never know just what be is getting. There are other pain relievers, and a systematic change oi preparations will avert this terrible habit.

‘However physicians and welfare workers now generally ilgrcc that it is a disease and the (rare, thought, and medication you give diseases is merited by lilo drug addict.

Why does ho take it anyway? “lull be may be feeling biuc and may be in severe pain. Ho injects the dose in-to his body and immed- latelhe is a changed man. lie becomes energetic, almost brilliant in his talk, and has a feeling of buoancy and well being. He then calms down into a quiebcontent- ment. with himself and the world. This is shortly followed by the third stage when he is in a “dopey" (lrowsy condition, followed Ill’ complete unconsciousness. lie lai- er uwakes in a most wretched pitiable coudilimi. lie trombies like a leaf and his expression is one of the most intense iluensiness and restlessness. lie must then secure another dose to relieve him from this fearful depression. Fortunately they can now curc these cases. institutions, yes com- mon jails, are doing good work in getting these unfcrtuuatcs back to licnlth.

It is a far call to the November day in 1867 when Lord Monck open- ed the first session of the First Par- liament of the Dominion of Canada. it “'11s a much smaller and less important possession thon than it now ls——a Dominion of four pro- vinces between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic, with Prince Ed- ward Island not yet included. The first year's revenue balanced by an equal expenditure was what would now be considered a trifling matter of thirteen millions of dollars. Yet even then in the hearts and minds oi the assembled representatives of the people there was a feeling that the foundations of a great state were being laid that might yet overshadow older nations of his- toric fame.
