These Jet- ters should be full of inte. est for every Ontario father. | Heron Bay, Ont., Aug. 9th. My Dear Father,-- Perhaps it would be well to ex- rs plain the shakiness of my hand- writing before going any further in this letter. Although everybody in eur ear is in excellent spirits, we gre al! sober. The iact is, however, that in spite of the little movable which the porter has fitted up for me, the motion of the car occasionally makes my writing ra- ther shaky. They are great little tebles that fit into the side of the ear near the windows and they are pupported at the other end on one leg. They come in useful for all sorts of things. We use them as dining tables, and just now an cold man and his three cons just across the aisle are playing a game of eards on their little table. They are going out to take up some of the irrigated lands of Alberta which are watered by the C .P. R-. irri- gation canal. I get acquainted with them through mother not put- ting a cup in my valise when she packed the grub for me to eat on the trip. I borrowed a cup fr im them andi traded two bananas for a cup of coffee and some dried beef. They are a fine jolly crowd im this car, and there ts al! sorts of fun all the time, especially at h meal times. I am mighty glad already that we decided I should come out weet this summer, even if 1 don't pever realized Dominion hanging house wall, showed that the Prov- ince was some size, but here I have been travelling along for pretty rear twenty-four hours, and we fourteen hours line of country in Ontario. We didn't see much of Muskoka, as we sed through there.at night, but woke at Muskoka station and raised the blind at my window and saw the trunks uf the nearest trees looking ghostly in the electric ights of the station. Behind them was black mystery. Of course, 1} eouldn't see much, but it looked as though the folks that go there for their holidays ought to get @ pretty goud change from the cities. At breakfast time, on the first morning of our trip, we were: in the Sudbury district, and it's some- thing to make us throw out onr chests, and fee] proud to think that posits in the whole world are right here in Ontario. Moose Mountain Range is close here, too--the great- est known iron range in Canada. This ought to be a great manufac- turing district some day. There is not much timber round the line just near Sudbury. The er nine inches through. trees grew about twenty feet high and then they die, and everywhere you can see these young trees cov- ered with dead, shrivetled leaves. Lew bushes give the only touch of green to be secn, and every where there are rocks ef all kinds, sises and shapes. There are rocks that you could play duck on the reek with, and others that are bigger than our barn at home. with all rizes in between. It musi have been a tremendous job putting the railroad through here. It seems f. > A Large _ | us, ee File : 3 } rf Hi 4 aE tf Fy g Fi i you are of water re. There was a birch-bark canoe --the genuine thing--drawn out of the water and lying upside down, close to tepee. You go for miles and miles jn the train with- out seeing anybody. and then you may come on a little clearing with a little bit of a wooden house, un- painted and looking more like a box with windows than a house. But there may be a flag-pole along- side, where the Union Jack is run up en holidays. The children who run out of these cabins and wave at the train, as it goes by, seem qnite glad to see sumeone, even if it's only to shout "howdy,'" as the train rushes by. We passed a grave to-day. where, I suppose, some settler is buried. It was all alone in a small cleared space among the trees and bushes. Tt looked awfully 'cnely in that wilderness, but there mmust have been someone to think kindly of the man who is tasking his last rest there, for a weouden picket fence had been built round the grave, and a weather-worn weuden cross stood at its head. Say been with me this last half come into our. We have just view of Lake Superior. All day we have been rolling along be- tween fairly high hills. Just as iN: shadows of evening were com- ing on we turned down the valley of a river. and suddenly came in full view cf the wide expanse of Lake Superior. It was grand. The lake was a bright blue, far out io the horizon, where a blue moun- tainous island lvomed up. In shore, a hundred feet or ev below the waves were dashing in snowy breakers on the rocks. All about the lake were high, rolling hills, their wooded skkes bathed in the mellow ruddy light of suaset. The track here winds *in and out hil nd ous wall, at waves constantly dash. For some reason, the view of those great hills, and the mighty lake in the sunset light made me think of us singing "Abide With Me" in the ehurch at home, especially that verse: "Swift to its close ebbs out hfe's little day; " Earth's joys grow dim, ite glories pass away, Change and decay in all around 1 see; ' . O Thou, Whe changest not, abide with me." Perhaps it was the thonght that the waves of this Inke were cash- ing abeut that distant island, and at the feet of those hills, for un- tokl centuries without change, that made me think of the hymn. It was a sort of glimpse ef eternity. We are running en with con- stantly changing views of tne lake. which is disappearing in the gath- enng night. i is immense.

Taking ordinary precautions it may be possble for the white man, two years of acclimitization, to live in the tropics even mvure immune from tropical diseases than the black. But this period of immun- ity lasts for only about seven years, after which the deteriorating -- ef- fects of the strong solar light heat begin to show themselves on the white skin, and render the pos- sessor thereof peculiarly suscept- ible to tropical diseases. In conse- quence the permanent settlement of the tropics by white men is im- possible. But while the pigment with which the color is provided is indispensable for Jife in the tropics, it is a source of no danger in the temperate or frigid zones; therefore the dark or yellow an can intrude into the domain of the man of fair skin with little or no danger. SS ne THE GROWTH OF LONDON. The tendency to crowd into cit- jes, which |s so marked in al} civil- ized countries, has a curious iilus- tration in the census of 1911, which shows the ¢ } i of Leadon as a center of peoputs- tion. The population of Greater Londen has increased in the last 10 years from 6.581.402 to 7 563. or 10.2 per cent. In the mean- time, however. the pepulation of the ether largest cities in England has in most cases increased by re- latively small percentages. Bir- mingham has grown from 523,179 357,059; Leeds from 423,968 to -445,- 568; Liverpoo Tot + 566; Manchester from 873 to 714,427, and Sheffield from 409.070 to 454,653. The rate of increase of Manchester and Sheffield alune slightly exceeds that of London, the others falling far behind it. The percentage for Birmingham is only 0.53 per cent. Some of the ematler cities, nevertheless, have increased much more rapidly than the metropolis, Coventry, for in- stance, having grown from 69,978 to 106,377 or 52.01 per cent., & truly American showing.

That iz only possible by use of skilfully selected food that ex- actly fits the requirements of the body. Poor fuel makes a" poor fire and a peor fire is not a goud steam producer. 'From not knowing how to select the right food to fit my needs, 1! suffered grievously for a long time rom stomach troubles," writes a lady frum a little town in Missouri. "It seemed as if I would vever be able to find out the sort of food that was best for me. Hardly any- thieg that I could eat would stay on my stemach. Every attempt gave me heartburn and filled my stomach with gas. I got thinner and thinner until I literally became a living skeleton and in time was compe!led to keep to my bed.
