A gentleman is a man who keeps his word with those who are powerless to make him do so. But read her letter. It tells her story better than we can,â€"*"I feel it my duty to write you about your wonderful medicine Carnol. In January I had an operation for apâ€" endicitis. The pain I suffered beâ€" ore the operation and the loss of blood afterwards left me so weakenâ€" ed and run down that I wasu‘t able to go about on my feet. I just had to lie around all the time. The docâ€" tor said I was to take iron for my blood for it was so thin. I had aneâ€" mia and folks said I had only a short time to live. Carnol saved my life â€"many thanks to Carnol. I have gained about ten pounds in three months. . After every meal I used to have indigestion and heartâ€" burn se bad that the pain was inâ€" tense. A dose of Carnol would give me immediate.relief. Now I am abâ€" solutely cured of both. I had severe headaches and pains across my back and they have also disappeared. "This is how I started using Carâ€" nol,. I asked a friend about Carnol. She said it was awfully good. Her doctor had recommended it to her to take after she had been in bed for months and she was completely cured. I called up our druggist and asked him about Carnol. e reâ€" commended it but said he was just out of it and wanted me to take a bottle of beef, iron and wine, but I said, ‘No, I want Carnol.‘ So he said he would send and get me some. Just as soon as it came I commenced to take it and it has renewed my blood and given me a wonderful apâ€" petite. I never have to take a laxâ€" ative with this medicine. I cannot recommend your medicine highly enough. It is just exactly what the system needs."â€"Mrs. Wilson H. Leeman, Ivanhoe, Ont. * 9â€"4M Mrs. Leeman says : "Garnol saved my lifeâ€" many thanks to Garnol" No Deer in James Bay District Now. â€" No Commercial Fish Available in James Bay, Says Rev. W. G. Walton, Who, However, Has Faith in the Mineral Possibilities of the Far North. That the Indians and Eskimos in the James Bay region have been severely suffering in the matter of food, is the statement of Rev,. W. ‘"a. \Valton, Anglican missionary for 32 years in the territory east of James and Hudson Bays. He advocates the introduction of the domesticated reinâ€" deer as a remedy to present condiâ€" tions. Missionary Tells of Hard Lot of Indians and Eskimos Rev. Mr. Walton also discounts completely the idea that James and: Hudson Bays have any value as comâ€" mercial fishery grounds. In regard to the mineral wealth of the country he is much more hopeful. After his long residence in the area Rev,. Mr. Walton ought to know conditions. It seems unthinkable that he should beâ€" little the resources of the country in any way. It would appear that the many optimistic arguments that were used to urge the construction of the T. N. 0. Railway on to the James Bay are not all founded on sure fact, or else Rev. Mr. Walton is badly misâ€" taken. The general public will very naturally be inclined to accept Rev. Mr, Walton‘s opinion unreservedly. It would appear to be the part of wisâ€" dom on the part of both the Ontario and Dominion Government to make a thorough investigation of the matter and put the official stamp upon the truth. At best nothing further should be done regarding the further extenâ€" sion of the Ontario Government Railâ€" way to the Bay until all the facts are known. Rev. Mr. Walton appears hopeful in the matter of the mineral possibilities of the Far North, If enough pros. pecting is done with favourable reâ€" sults, the mineral resources may alone justify the extension of the railroad. That, however, is a question that still remains to be decided. In a recent issue of The Northern News, Rev. Mr. Walton‘s statements in regard to the lack of commercial fishing grounds and the general searâ€" city of food were referred to. In the last issue of The Northern News there is a further letter from Rev. Mr. Walton, summarizing his position generally. Rev. Mr. Walton says :â€" ‘*The district in which I have been working as sole missionary of the Anâ€" gli¢can Church for the part 32 years is the territory east of James and Hudson Bays. The southern third is fairly well wooded and there we have about 1000 Indians. In the Northern portion is what is called the "Barren Land‘‘ or treeless area, where 800 Eskimos hunt or rather used to hunt THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ‘‘In 18883 the deer were deflected over to the Atlantic side of the penâ€" insula through forest fires in the south during the migratory season and have never returned. Since then both Inâ€" dians and Eskimos have been findâ€" ing it increasingly difficult to get a living, in fact there have been quite a number of deaths from starvation and some cases of cannabalism. in the years when the caribhou were plentiful. . Now these Eskimos are trying to eke out an existence as best they can along the coastline and on the Belcher Islands. ‘‘The only salvation for these peoâ€" ple will be by the introduction of the domesticated reindeer,. In that northâ€" ern area we have enough feed to conâ€" tinuously support about 2,000,000 of these deer. The reindeer enterprise has been a tremendous success in Alâ€" aska, and I can see no reason why we should not be as successful in our district. ‘*In Alaska, between 1892 and 1902, deer to the number of 1280 were inâ€" ported from Siberia. In a Washingâ€" ton report made last June it is stated that there are now 300,000 deer, two thirds of which are the property of the native Eskimos. There has been in one generation an advance through one entire stage of civilization. ‘‘The Royal Commission on Musk Ox and Reindeer in 1921 reported in favour of the same plan for my disâ€" trict. The commission found that the whole of the Ungava seémed to be suitable for the and there are practically no wolveg there since the caribou The matter is likely to come before the House of Commons in a day or\two and the case ought to have sympathetic hearing. Canada owes good deal to the original inhabitants of the counâ€" try Careing for them in a matter of justice rather than a generosity. ‘‘A secondary consideration, which is still important, is found in the mineral wealth of the region. There are indications of large iron deposits in the Belcher Islands and the adjaâ€" cent mainland and also of galena, and other minerals. But is is difficult to attract prospectors to a_ foodless country. Help given to the natives may indirectly bring about important results in developments. ‘‘As regards the supposed comâ€" mercial quantities of fish in the James and Hudson Bays surely it is but sutâ€" ficient to convince those whe under. stand the matter that the highest temperature I obtained of the surâ€" face water in the extreme south of James Bay during the hottest time of the year was but 53 degrees Fahrenâ€" heit, and in the south east part of Hudson Bay 47 degrees. There are some small fish of the cold water species but not in any commercial quantities, otherwise why should my people starve when the rabbits (in the south) and the ptarmigan fail? Let us but get the reindeer and make a success of them, not only will my people be kept from starvation, but prospectors can go in safely and proâ€" bably find minerals that will gladden the hearts of all who ery out‘‘ on to the Bay‘."‘ "Do you call these clothes?"‘ a Customs official asked a woman who had declared there was nothing in her trunk but wearing apparel for herself and husband. He pointed to four bottles of whiskey. ‘*Yes,"‘‘ she replied softly, ‘‘those are his nightcaps.‘‘ Deep down in her heant, every woman â€" knows there are points of similarity between her husband and Andy Gump. The policeman shouted very angrily to the crowd. ‘‘Now then, now then! Pass along there, please! You can‘t stand ‘here lookin at the fire.‘‘ ‘"‘But you‘re detting that fellow over there look at it,""‘ returned an anerv man. "It‘s his fire,"‘‘ answered the policeâ€" maln. en 4) "Hello Daddy â€" don‘t _ Give the youngsters this wholesome,longâ€" l lasting sweet â€" for K pleasure and benefit. â€"~â€"â€"Exchange, â€"Exchange.
