Sydney H. ,North, oi’ London, Eng.,

founder and editor of the Petroleum

tions, has written the following arti cies on the unlocking of oil supplies as one result of the war:

One ot ¥‘he most important opera

tions in w ich the Allied fleets have engaged is that of' opening up the sea route from the coasts of Russia and Roumania to the highways of the world. The military effects of this ac-

_tion may -be of vital significance, but

the economic effects are still more vital, influencing, as they do. the wel- fare of millions within and without these two countries. _-

ig For months past the enormous

amount of agricultural and other pro- duce of the great Russian Empire has been locked tn, unable to move, and the Black Sea has been the Dead Sea, so far as the traiiic of nations is `con~ cerned. So world-wide is our trade. however. that we have suffered com- paratively little from the cutting out oi’ these sources of supply.

lt is a matter of common knowledge

that the principal sources from which we draw our oil for lighting, heating, for fuel and lor motor cars, are the United States. Russia, the_ Dutch In- dies, Roumania and Mexico. Soon af- ter the war broke out part of these sources was closed to us; and the fig- ures representing the- shipments to this country from America are elo- quent ot the wonderful response to our need made from that quarter.

During these past few months the

oil wells of Russia and Roumania con- tinued to produce oil, and had to con- tinue to do so where labor was avail- able, for the closing down oi’ a pro- ducing well is a costly_, and often ruin- ioue, resort. The oil must either be pumped unremittingly or water, some hundreds of feet down, may percoiate through into the well and flood it he- ynnd redemption.

A few figures will show clearly what

the cessation oi' Russia's export trade has done to the oil industry.

RUSSIAN STORES

Tim output of oil from Russian oil

wells amounts approximately to eight milion tons a year; of which, after re- Ilning, a large quantity goes into the interior. and the balance is exported. ln the year of 1913 the total quantity of different oil products amounted to about five million tons; in 1914 this had fallen to about three and a half million tons.

But thisis not the worst ot the case

for, in consequence of the stoppage of exports through the Dardanelles. the stocks lrad accumulated to the extent oi' one and a half million tons, or half as much again compared with a year ago. This was at the end of 1914, since when two months have passed, and probably more will be added to this before Russia can get her enormous accumulation oi’ oil and other products away. Taking the same proportion, this means that two million tons or so of various oil products will be avail- able for distribution.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, sev-

eral oi‘ the newer districts, such as the Ural-Caspian and Emba Caspain districts, are increasing their produc- tion rapidly, and the storage accom- modation for all this ever-growing quantity of oil is not sutlicient. ln the year 1913 we relieved Russia ot' thirty six million gallons of different descriptions of oil. more than a third of which was benzine or petrol; last year. owing to the war, we could only get twenty-one million gallons.

This year, a quarter of which has

nearly gone, we have taken nothing from her of any description, so that it

needs little imagination to conjure up'

the vast sources of liquid and solid wealth which are waiting to flow through the Dardzmelles when the gateway has been forced.

Roumania is in a similar plight, but

rather worse, inasmuch as her organ- ization and facilities are not so ample. Her lot is, indeed, a hard one. For years past her oilmen. backed by the Government, have strlven energeti- cally to build up a prosperous indus- try. lier ambitious lay in the direc- tion oi securing some portion of that most profitable section of the trade. the manufacture and sale of benziue or petrol. And her success was con- siderable. _

ROUMANIA AND GALICIA

The total output from Roumanian

wells in 1913 amounted to 1,855,000 tons; in 1914 to 1,771,000 tons, not so great a decline considering the adverse conditions. But, unfortunately, she is one of the innocent who suder, and only the opening of the sea route again and the resumption of her export trade can save her from disaster. Compared with Russia her oil industry is small, yet at the end oi' last year the accumu- lated stocks of oil amounted, accord- ing to the "Petroleum Review," to 000,000 tons. ‘

The same authority states also that

these reserves have increased at the raw of 60,000 tons a month, so that at the end of Mrach there will be hoard- ed up in Roumania about 800,000 tons of oil. And still production goes on, and must go on.

There is another oil country, com-

pleting the trio, which is suffering practical extinction for the time be- ing, and that is Galicia, now in the hands of the Russians. Two years ago I passed right through the country where the Austrian army have been so badly_handled, in more senses than one. Along the whole flank of the Carpnthians iie the ,oil lands of Galicia. The ,oil wells, their derrlcks jutting up against the sky- line. seem to be clinging lnsecurely to the hillsides. They peep out from the ‘well-wooded sides of the-slopes of the Lower Carpathians, and come sudden- ly into view among the trees as one rumbles along the railway track.

Hltherto, the importance of Galicia

as an oil country has not been suulc- ientiy recognized. When this turmoil and strife are over and the arts of peace once again hold their rightful sway, Galicia should rank with Rou- mania in the oil industry, and its pro- ducts nnd their way to the markets of the world,

I Some years ago the British Dental Association

examined the teeth of 10,500 English and Scotch

school-children-10,500 cousins to the boys and girls of Canada.

86% had some decay of the teeth as against-

1'/,,% for the adult Maori and 1*/,.,% for the Equimaux. _

Why ?-the vital question stares us in the face.

Must we eat like the Maori or the Esquimaux

to gain more freedom from decay?

__ True, their foods are much simpler-and their

- living much closer to Nature. But that does not

t on hum Races of tl1cWorld

account for the tremen’dous difference between

1.2% and 86%.

Leading dental authoritiesgive us the follow-

ing answer to our problem. ¢

' Races having the best teeth chew foods which excite the salivary glands. The Canadian Indian

of the Northwest chews wood of the sugar-pine.

The Maori flavors foods with the juice of the tutu- ' ‘ J

__ I

berry-another keen exciter of the salivary How.

The human saliva is Nature’s own mouth- "~ l

wash-the best conserver of the teeth-best

since man began. ,

This may be news to you, but there is more:--Q. ` Saliva not only neutralizes the acid which is the , , worst enemy of your teeth-it wars as well on _ .

many of the germs that enter the mouth through air and food. It is one of Dr. Nature’s own fine |

preventive medicines.

T oo frequently the diet of civilized _mana

glands. " _

It is here that the use of chewing -gum? =' V

comes into its own with honors. _ It helps to X ‘sg maintain the mouth and teeth in all their R -

natural health.

It fights against what dentists call “oral

(mouth) stagnation.” It is a needed friend to ~

modern man.

When YOU Chew Gum '

Most of us chew gum for pleasure. But all of \

us who use it, whatever our motive, are getting .` benefit from it. Gum is serving us a mighty

good turn.

Can your gum be too pure for you ?-too clean for your mouth? Assuredly no. And it should be ‘ f very tasty, too, because it is flavor which coaxes the tooth protecting, mouth cleansing saliva_»- -_

It is for these reasons that~Sterling Gum is

entitled to your welcome.
