Thursday, August 18th, 1932 FRIEND TOLD HIM ~â€"ABOUT ALLâ€"BRAN And It Brought Relief From Constipation Those who are bothered with conâ€" stipation should read Mr. Gelpke‘s unsolicited letter: Common constipationâ€"with its headaches, loss of appetite, sleepâ€" lessness â€" is due to lack of "bulk" to exercise the intestines, Vitamin B to help tone the intestinal tract. Both are present in Kellogg‘s ALLâ€" Brax, as well as iron for the blood. The "bulk" in Arrâ€"BRAN is much like that in lettuce. Within the body, it forms a soft mass, which gently clears the intestines of wastes. Being a natural corrective, Aurrâ€"BRAN is not habitâ€"forming. "I have suffered with constipaâ€" tion for years, A friend of mine told me to try Auâ€"BRANX. I have taken for the past six weeks as a breakfast food. It has regulated my bowels as clockwork. Now 1J would not be without a package at all times."â€"Mr. Leslie Gelpke (adâ€" dress upon request). In the redâ€"andâ€"green package. At all grocers. Made by Kellogg in London, Ontario. Try in place of pills and drugsâ€"so often harmful. Just cat two tablespoonfuls daily â€" serious cases with every meal. If your intestinal trouble is not reâ€" lieved this way, see your doetor.

On account of the high reputation of The National Geograâ€" Magazine for accuracy and careâ€" ful statement those in the South may gather some wrong impressions from parts of the article, however. There is, for instance a picture of Gogama station in winter, with the following caption:â€"*"The Canoe in Summer, and the Dog Sled in Winter are the chief forms of Transport in the Wilder Parts of Ontario.â€"Even where backâ€"country highways exist, as around Kirkland Lake, Timmins and Cochrane, people store their motor cars because of snow and take to snowshoes and dog sleds from autumn till late in spring. Dog teams meet a Canadian National train at Gogoama, in the Sudbury district." It will be news to the prople of Kirkâ€" land Lake, Timmins and Cochrane, where motor cars and buses run all year round, and snowshoes are used by the townspeople only for amusement purposes.

Mr. Simpich suggests that Sudbury is a "Finlandia," and Kirkland a roarâ€" ing mining camp after the manner of Bret Harte. There are a. number of other items that make odd reading to those who know, but it may be admitâ€" ted that in the main the article is reâ€" markable for the information presenâ€" ted in very readable form and for the immerise amount of data given in sympathetic and intelligent way. Fifâ€" ty pages of the issue of the magazine are given to the article and illustraâ€" tions. The latter are unusually good.. The pictures are beautifully made and the mechanical work about them is about perfect. They show the parliaâ€" ment buildings at Ottawa, scenes at the Canadian National Exhibition, Torâ€" onto, views of Niagara Falls and the power development at Chippewa, the Toronto Hunt Club at Lady Eaton‘s farm, a Toronto livestock show, dog races at Ottawa, the Canadian Bank of Commerce building at Toronto (stated to be the highest building in the British Commonwealth,) an Onâ€" tario fox farmer posed with a live fox on his back, views of Jack Miner‘s bird sanctuary, poling cande up the Branch rapids on the Moose River, forest fires raging in the Red Lake area, a tobacco farm in Ontario, varâ€" ious hunting and fishing scenes Ai Temagami, pouring gold at the Holâ€" linger Mine, Timmins, (a note saying that the total value of the five bars, still hot from the refinery is $112,000â€" .00,) and many other if interest and information. In opening his article, "Ontario, Next Door," Mr. Simpich writes:â€" A Giant Link in the Empire "A giant link in that globeâ€"girdling British land chain on which the sun never setsâ€"such is Canada. Her loâ€" cation in the new Commonwealth of Nations is one of singular advantage. "Canada‘s area is greater than ours. Yet it is not her size, but intensive effort in her developed regions that gives her strength. Her population of more than ten million is concentraâ€" ted in a fairly narrow zone along her THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO *R SS frontier, adjacent to the United States. But in that zone she has laid 56,000 miles of steel! On a railway map these lines hang across the top of our border like a colossal red tennis net slung from Atlantic to Pacific. "Rails made Canada. She laid hers more quickly than any nation had ever done before; in the past 25 years her treasureâ€"earning feats with mines, fields, forests and factories have been swifter, perhaps, than any others in economic history. "In one bold gesture she bought back from the Hudson‘s Bay Company A vard "The first time I rode this line," said one of them, "the conductor stopped the train so passengers could watch three wolves chasing a moose across a frozen lake." "But the older geologist was talking now, relating a long story of his adâ€" ventures in the copper fields of Boliâ€" via. The cther, I observed, was twistâ€" ing his chairâ€"anxious to say someâ€" thing, but too polite to interrup, his senior. At last the Bolivian saga was finished and I turned to the younger man. "What were vou about to say?" swifter, perhaps, than any Oofners in economic history. "In one bold gesture she bought back from the HMHudson‘s Bay Company A farâ€"fiung empire in her west and carved vast new provinces from it. With incredible speed she rushed rails across these new lands and strewed them miraculously with men, maâ€" chines, and citiesâ€"even with new nlants and trees. Like magic, empty them miraculously witn men, mMaâ€" chines, and citiesâ€"even with new plants and trees. Like magic, empty pmairies changed to fruitful farms. At the boom‘s peak, excitement aroused our own Middle West, and tens Of thousands quit their homes for the bonanza wheat lands of western Canaâ€" da. There men sowed grain and reaâ€" ped gold till the wheat stream down the Great Lakes and over the Atlantic to Europe became a new wonder of the world. "Lean years come with the fat, even as among the Pharaohs. But Canada need not live by bread alone. Nickel, copper, coal, and silver enrich her hills, Now, passing the United States, she holds second place in the world‘s gold output, led only by South Africa. Ineâ€" vitably, hers is a great destiny. "Where Indians paddled birch canoes and trayripers used sleds on frozen riâ€" vers for winter roads, Canada builds paved highways now. And millions of American visitors go each season to see the wonders of this new northland. An amazing army this, equal to more than all the residents of Canada. Ontario on the Map "And Ontario, like a colossal mototr, is the heart of Canada. Here lives a third of all the Dominion‘s people. Here is more than a third of all Canaâ€" dian wealth." The writer gives a paragraph to the Imperial Conference, and then conâ€" tinues:‘â€" â€" "Exceeded by other provinces in forâ€". estry and fisheries only, Ontario takes first place in farming, trapping, minâ€" ing, electric power, banking, and manuâ€" facturing. Not only that; she is doâ€" minant in many cultural ways. And while Quebec, New Brunswick, Mantâ€" toba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Briâ€" tish Columbia share the common fronâ€" tier with us, all our relationsâ€"social, financial, and economicâ€"are closest with Ontario. Toronto papers reveal our kinship in thought and behavior." Mr. Simpich refers to the extent of the Patricia district, st0l largely unexâ€" plored and uninhabited, and mentions the fur trade of the Dominion. Men of Various Races Settled the Provirce of Ontario Mr. Simpich concludes that Ontario is very British and predominately Enâ€" glish speaking, but first he talks like this : â€" | "You cannot find a "typical face" any more than you can a homeâ€"town mind in America origins are too diverse. "When Col. John Graves Simcoe, first Lieutenant Govenor, set up his new capital at Niagara village in 1792 and offered free land to all comers ready to serve the King, a stream of immigration began which was to form the character of the new province. "For years a steady flow came from the United States. Some were Gerâ€" man Lutherans and Mennonites; many were United Empire Loyalists; but from Sceotland, England, and Ireland came another stream. Immigration has never stopped. Toronto toâ€"day has an ‘"East Side" as polyglot as New York‘s, though not so named. Inciâ€" dentally, perhachk 50,000 of its residents were born in the United States. Of late years the French from Quebec, with their language, faith, habits, and newspapers, are drifting steadily west, in north Ontario. "Finns, Russians, Poles, Germans, and Chinese pack the mines and lumâ€" ber camps. Greeks, Syrians, and Italâ€" ians are here, engaged as cooks, waitâ€" ers, barbers, bootâ€"blacks, gardeners, dryâ€"cleaners, peddlers, hucktessssss dryâ€"cleaners, â€" peddlers, huckstersâ€" many growing rich, just as in the Staâ€" tes. In one countryâ€"town hotel I idenâ€" tified five different races among the help. In mining towns like Sudbury, group after grour\ may pass you in the Saturday night parade, their talk a lingual riddle such as fell on ancient Babylon." Considerable space is given to Otâ€" tawa. its history and people, while airplanes and air service are given special notes. Among the references in the latter regard the following may be quoted:â€" "On Moose River I saw fur trappers with dogs, traptk, snowshoes, and food ready for shipment by plane far up the east coast of Hudson Bay. Some newly found mineral deposits are reached only by plane. The little town of Sioux Lookout, in northwest Ontario, has a yearâ€"round air freight service, despite the extreme winters. From here hunâ€" drds of tons of freight go quickly by air into regions otherwise inaccessible, except by hard, slow canoe or dogâ€"sled transport." Mr. Simpich tells of a settler who trarped 47 wolves last winter,. That settler was good and it is not remarkâ€" able that he made more money trapâ€" ping than farming. Moose Seen at Otltawa on the Golf Cource Speaking of a visit to the North Land, the writer says:â€"*"In an obserâ€" vation car of the T. N. O. I fell in with two Canadian geologists reâ€" turning from research work at Harâ€" Ontario identify Racial moose that was sy lake we just passed "Back in Ottawa told this tale. "Yo ed here to see a secretary. *"Yesterd in near our Rivern then off into the | then off into the bush along the Otâ€" tawa River,.câ€" And last year many early risers saw deer in the streets of Aylmer near Ottawa." It is when writing of the mining camps, however, that Mr. Simpich gets in his most spectacular ideas. "You think of Bret Harte‘s Roaring Camp‘ when you see Kirkland Lake‘s gold camp on Saturday night," he writes. "In crowded, crooked streets a doâ€" zen men to every woman; stores open until midnightâ€"even the hardware and furniture stores. Some human sacrifice to Bacchus, but very few idle men. Finns and Chinese wearing 20â€" dollar gold pieces as watch charms; a crowded movie showing "Ten Nights in a Barâ€"room; brawny Russian miners sprawled in barber chairs, getting an overâ€"Sunday polish; the smell of freshâ€"cut pine and the noise of saws and hammers, as bohunks work by floodâ€"light on a new ‘hotel‘; young engineers in caps, sweatersand highâ€" laced boots socially playing cards in a crowded lobby, snapping the cards down noisily. Bring ‘Em In "You get off the bus from Sawstika at a rambling wooden hotel to find a rcom ‘I have two heavy bags out on the porch,‘ you say to the landlad4y who tosses you a key. "Bring ‘em in," she suggests, turning back to watch the card players. And you hustle your baggage up two flights of stairs and hunt the room yourself. Outside A kilted bagpipe goes whining by, on it way to a Legion party; motor cars file past, bringing a shift of miners, tin lunch boxes in hand, from a@a mine which that day yielded one hundred and twentyâ€"two thcousands dollars‘ worth of gold." Increase of Gold Output Mr. Simpich says that in 1911 Onâ€" tario mined only about $42,000.00 worth of gold, while in 1931, the production was over $43,000,000. He mentions the discovery of Porcupine in 1908, and Kirkland Lake in 1912. Rails Now into a New North Here is what is said in the article about the trip from Cochrane north:â€" ‘"From Cochrane north we rode the ‘"Polar Bear," T. N. O. triâ€"weekly acâ€" commodation train, reminiscent of our pioneer Union Pacific in early travel across the plains. "We call it the triâ€" weekly," said one wag, "because it goes up one week and tries to get back the next." ‘"Miners, cooks, hunters, guides, Inâ€" dians, missionaries, trappersâ€"but no tourists as yetâ€"wander freely from baggage car back to caboose. You see men bound for the northern wilds loadâ€" ing> their canoes, tents, dogs, sleds, snowshoes, traps, guns, and camp supâ€" pliesâ€"and engineers with surveying inâ€" struments. "Farm homes are few and soon disâ€" appear altogether, as the train pushes northward. After a few hours the track begins to wind downhill, into the vast marshy muskeg country which lies south of James Bay, the southernâ€" most arm of Hudson Bay. "The Government builds the line to tap speculatively this empty country. One long stretch of rail crosses the Onakawana lignite field, being explored by the Department of Mines, and estiâ€" mated to hold many millions of tons. Highâ€"grade refractory clays are found associated with the lignite. "Our new North is what your early West was," explains an engineer, "exâ€" cept we shoot moose instead of buffalo, use planes instead of oxcarts, and our scalps are safe from Indians." "Partridges fly up as the slow train rocks along, and you look out on filat, open areas of blueberry and Labrador tea bushes. "Lots of prairie chickens out there," says a game warden. "I coaxed some up with corn during a deep snow and photographed them." "The two women passengers go back into the caboose and obligingly cook lunch there for the train crew. At a midday stop hungry men leay from the day coach of the mixed train and trace to a shack whose signboard reads "Raw furs bought." At a little counter they gorge bologna, canned peaches, biscuit, and hot tea. "In one corner of the tiny store is a spinning wheel. "An heirloom?" you ask of the Englishwoman behind the counter. ‘"No. I spin yarn and knit the family socks " "Back to the whistling train you dash â€"miners, trappers, traders, and Inâ€" dians. Already it is moving, off now for Coral Rapids. Friendly hands pull a panting fat man aboard, barking his shins on the car steps. "From a wayside swamp a flock of geese takes wing, and word comes back that the engineer has seen a moose." Reference to Moose Factory and Moosonee There are several references to Mooâ€" sonee and Moose Factory, visited by Mr. Simpich. Notes are made on the Ottawa, at our legation, 1 . "You should have stayâ€" see a moose," observed a Yesterday one wandoered Rivermead Golf Club; . . o the bush along the Otâ€" . ~And last year many saw deer in the streets of ‘ned to the youn$g _you about to say he â€" murmured. your attention to wimming that lit muséeum at Moose FPactory a tents, also to the church perience with floods, etc. There is passing mention correspondence school cour: children in sparselyâ€"settled to the "schools on wheels."
