In order to foster the goodwill of this new market, it was necessary to assure the English dealers that the 'quality of the butter would always be kept at the same high standard as '| the initial shipments and that there 'would be no letting up in the quantity 'available for export. 'As regards the - quality of Alberta's butter, it may be said that it is of the highest and is rigidly inspected and graded by Gov- ernment experts. Although prizes for butter won by Albertan exhibitors in competition with other provinces of the Dominion do not necessarily im- . 'ply that all the butter produced in the province is of the game high quality es the winning exhibit, the following results of various dairy butter com- petitions during the past few years are of interest: in 1922, the province won 2)9 'out of 436 prizes offered, 54% of which were firsts; in. 1928, the pro- vince won 227 out of 462 prizes offer ed, 62.8% of which were firsts. Estimated Production 18,000,000 Ibs. In respect to production and quan- tity available for export the province is in an exceptionally favorable posi- tion. - Production has steadily in- creased from year to year, and in 1923 totalled 17,750,000 Ibs., representing the output of 75 creameries, as com- pared with 15,417,000 Ibs. in the pre-| vious year. For 1924, it is estimated production will total "over 18,000,000 1bs. It is interesting to note that 68% of Alberta's butter output last year was produced in the territory north of Red Deer and the balance--32%seuth of that town. Whether or not the British market wlil solve Alberta's problem of dis- posing of the surplus butter produc- ' tion is largely in the hands of the ex- porters." It rests with them to ses that the quality of the butter is al- 'ways maintained at a high standard «and that the shipments are so regu- ""Iated as to ensure a steady supply. If © this is done, there is no reason why - Alberta butter manufacturers should not always have a steady and profit- able market in Great Britain, eter ---- They That Go Down to the : .

It is not a mere figure of speech to speak of the fron in man's blood. That is partly If not wholly responsible for the color of human blood and perhaps in some inexplicable way is the cource --or a source--of the superiority that the Mammalia possesses over lower forme of life. Professor Barcroft, an eminent English biologist, whose stud- fes in the coloring matter of blood have brought much fresh information to light, 18 quoted in the London Times as follows: , Blood is not necessarily red. We cannot tell why it should not have been green. . Indeed, among higher animals = there are occasional speci- mens that tend in that direction. I have seem, for instance, a rat with brown blood. The cuttlefish has blue blood, or blood that is sometimes blue. Just-as humen blood changes its color each time it traverses the lungs, so that of the cuttlefish changes each tims it is driven through the creature's gills. ' Our blood is purple when it reaches our lungs, red when it leaves them. Cuttlefish blood is colorless when it passes to the gills, blue when it leaves them. Again, there is a star- fish in th® blood of which you can see colors of the most diverse type-- brown, purple, green, lemon yellow and indigo blue," The brown becomes green when it loses its oxygen. These colors, owing to their power of carrying oxygen, enable an animal to grow large. Insects have no color in their blood, and they remain small. The mollusks singled out a blue pig- ment for their use--a color dependent on the copper that it contained. These creatures reached their highest de- velopment in: the massive, but almost mindless, cuttlefish. The higher ani: 'mals (vertebrates) chose iron-contain- ing colors and have become the higher types of creation. = TRY SANNA Two Good Reasons. _ Pat is so fond of expressing his views on' subjects of national import- ance that if he cannot get a listener it does not upset him at all, he just talks to himself: He was a gardener, and his employ- er, at last, got very fed up with the man's constant mutterings, and one day said to him: "Pat, doesn't it ever occur to you that your constant 'mutterings and talking to yourself are a great annoy- ance to other people? Why do you talk to yourself?" " "Shure, sir," replied the Irishman, "| "I have two reasons for that." '"What are your ng?"

The work of the woman in the home makes greater demands on her vitality than men realize, and there is always something more to do. No wonder women's backs ache, and their nerves are worn out. No wonder why they get depressed and irritable, . suffer trom headaches, and always feel out of sorts. But of course all women are not like that. What is the difference? A woman with plenty of healthy red blood in her veins finds work in the home easy; her vitality is at par. This points the way to health in women who feel run down and depressed. Make new rich blood. You can do it with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, These pills have the marvellous property of building up the blood and toning up the nerves. That is proved by the case of Mrs. H. Eppinger, Scott Street, Vancouver, B.C., who says:-- "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills brought back my health and strength and restored my nerves to normal condition after other medicines had failed. It was after the birth of my second child that I became, 80 anaemic and nervous that I thought I would lose my mind as well as my strength. I tried several medi cines, but got no relief until I was ad- vised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After using a few boxes of these I could see a change. I felt stronger; my appetite was better, I slept better, and my nerves were stronger. I con- tinued the use of the pills for some time, and again found myself a well woman, and I can sincerely say that niy health has since been the best. I can cheerfully recommend the pills to all. weak, run down women." You can get these pills from your Draw on a large sheet of paper the design shown at the left. Place in each square (except the middle one) three coins, matches, buttons or other counters. Call to your friends' attention the fact that no matter how the counters are counted, there are nine counters in each row. The problem is to take away four counters and rearrange so that there are still nine matches in each row. The second problem is to return the four and four more and rearrange again to get nine matches in each row. The third probtem is to add four more counters and again rearrange to get nine in each row.

I had always longed for a real cedar chest Yor storing furs and woolens, but always felt it just a little beyond my reach; so I decided upon a very good substitute. My husband made a pine box 48 by 20 by 18 inches, hinging on a cover securely and fas- tening casters on the bottom corners. The outside was given a walnut stain, then a coat of orange shellac, and lastly a good rub with wax paste. The inside was saturated with oil of cedar, using a generous quantity and allowing it to soak into the pine. When dry I lined the chest with pa- pers and it has answered every pur- pose of a cedar chest so far as moths are concerned and looks very well be- sides. I have it sitting under a window and, with a sofa dr.pillow or two, it is frequently used as a window seat, so it really does double duty An ancient Greek rule of diet was: druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a box trom The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., | Brockville, Ont.

Sunday School Day, which has just been observed by more than 30,000,000 scholars and teachers in England, is a celebration that contrasts with the humble beginnings of the movement. Sunday schoolg~were formally found- ed by Robert Raikes, a Gloucester printer and publisher, who, in 1780, no- ticing some urchins playing. in the street on a Sunday morning, collected a number of them and formed them into a class for privata religious in- struction. His account of the innovation, pub- lished in the Gloucester Journal, was copied by the London press, and in this way the great Sunday school sys- tem was launched. A statue of Raikes is on the Thames embankment. Dut it is wrong to credit him with being the sole originator of the idea, The honor rightly belongs to Hannah Ball, of High Wycombe, who opened & Sunday class in 1769. in Great Britain and Ireland there are approximately 51,000 Sunday | schools, 690,000 officers and teachers, ! and 6,670,000 scholars--in all, 7,360,000 I perdops. From these figures it would | appear that one in every six or seven of the entire population of Great Bri- tain and Ireland attends Sunday school. The present membership shows a | decrease compared with that of ten | years ago of about 900,000. oo) Sie n s Something New in Soup. James, aged five, was eating Sun- {day dinner at his aunt's house.
