Thursday, April 19th, 1923 "I started using Eagle Brand for my five months old baby two months ago. Now she wakes up laughing and cooing and is more than satisfied. No getting up nights, as she gets only one bottle, going to bed, and no more till 7 a.m. She won a third prize at a recent baby show and I know Eagle Brand helped her to win. She weighed 6 lbs. at birth but is now over 13 lbs. ‘%f any mother would like me to tell her about Eagle Brand I would be pleased to do so. I only wish I had known about it sooner as it cannot be too highly recomâ€" mended". ‘ # _2 *Â¥T to t3 EAGLE BRAND § Q ' ?\( * Her Baby Wakes up Laughin g and Cboing "The bicycle is one of the safest vehicles of locomoâ€" tion. All means of locomoâ€" tion are comparatively safe if operated with care alâ€" ways, and courtesy towards others. I have watched with pleasure many boys who obâ€" serve the traffic rules careâ€" fully. They ride on the right side of the road or street. They put out a hand when it is their intention to stop or turn, and, in general, they follow traffic directions. A careful bicycle rider is very much safer on our streets, congested with trafâ€" fic, than a child playing on the sidewalk who, thoughtâ€" lessly, or to retrieve a ball, runs out into the road withâ€" out looking."

All Candians, but especally those in this North Land* where there is Q{ much forest wealth, and so much waste of forest wealth, should take a special interest in forestry questions. It is for this reason that the Governâ€" ment has set aside a week as ‘‘Forâ€" estry Week.‘‘ During this the people are expected to give a little thought and attention to forestry matters. This year Canadian Forestry Week is from April 22nd to April 28th. It would be a good thing if it would be generally observed _ throughout ~ this North. A little thought on the proâ€" blems of Canada‘s forests would likeâ€" ly result eventnally in material adâ€" vyantage. Some facts will not be out of here. Canada‘s forests are going 1ast. Yet how many people in this country betray any concern? As long as Canadians pay no attenâ€" tion to forest facts, the mischief will o on. Sixty of Canada‘s original forest wealth has been destroyed by fire! | axe and saw Twentyâ€"seven per icent. is left as the capital to supply an increasing and an insatiable demand for lumber and paper and other products! T\\ent\ â€"seven per cent.! In a few oeneratmm we have reduced our capiâ€" tal to 27% of the original. And what have we to show for it! We have some cleared agricultural land which once was forest but this in the case of the best regions at least Thirteen per cent has been eut Your Boy Wanis a Câ€"C‘:M:> Every boy idealizes a certain brand of skates, or a certain kind of motor car, or a certain brand of jack knife.

LA AGiA place was chiefly bardwood forest. _ Our cutâ€"over cohferious. forest area is largely rough, sandy, rocky land of little use except where minerals may have been deposited. Canadians should think over these things. **Canadian Forest Week*"‘ is an effort to bave them do so. _ it means much to the future of this country. â€" Unless the remainder of our forest capital can be protected and wisely used, in twentyâ€"five years, at the present rate of destruction by fire and axe, we will have used up all our available timber. Forestry experts claim that if fire can be kept out, Canada‘s forest growth each year will provide all the timber and pulp wood required. The chief problem, however, is not how to fight fire, but how to prevent it. Every man, woman‘ and child > who goes into the woods should know the danger and feel the responsibility. Hon. Charles Stewart, Minister of the Interior, is doing a national work in organizing the fight against forest fires. â€"The people of Canada could do infiintely more, however, by exercisâ€" ing care to prevent them. Spring is bounds. _ I wise, that thmg for. :s Timesâ€"Star. Every year many millions of tons of coal are imported into this country, while our own miners are hard pressed to find sufficient work. â€" An enormous amount of good Canadian money is being sent out of Canada for this fuel, a very great deal of which should be â€"and could beâ€"kept at home. And still we find the Government without a scrap of evidence pefore the Trailf Board, actually voiunteering a drawâ€" back of coal to an industry that never asked for it!â€"Halifax Herald. 1 O Commandments for Cyclists Keep to the right and near the curb. Meeting traffic pass on right, overtaking trafhc pass on left. Turn right close to curb. Turn left around centre of intersections.

Conference at Toronto Makes Plans for Disposal of Slash, Etc. Reference was made last week to the statements at Sudbury by Hon. Wm. Finlayson kn reference to the fire hazard in the North Land this year, especially along the C.N.R. between Cochrane and Hearst. _ Mr. Finlayâ€" son admitted that conditions worried him and his alarm was transmitted to many others,. The general reply was to the effeet that conditions were not any worse this year than in other years, and that probably they were better. This however can searcely be considered an adequate reply. â€" W hat the people generally want to know and feel is that the danger of bush fires is reduced to the very. minimum. This is evidently the idea that actuâ€" ates Hon. Mr.â€" Finlayson. In any event he is not neontent to be simply alarmed about the danger. He wants a remedy. â€" Last week he called a conference at Toronto of representaâ€" tives of the Cochraneâ€"Heayst area. 1t ‘*The utmost good feeling prevailed at the conference,"‘ said Hon. William Finlayson, Minister of Lands: and Forests, afterwards, ‘‘and all the various interests agreed to coâ€"operate in dealing with the situation. HAILEYBURY HAD FINE VIEW OF BIG BULL MOOSH Last week the people of Haileybury had a fine view of a large bull moose, and unlike a somewhat similar visit of a moose to Reuyn recently, no one attempted to interfere with the aniâ€" mal at Haileybury. Speaking of the incident, The Haileyburian says :â€" ‘‘People in the downto“n section of Haileybury had a fine view of a large bull moose yesterday evening when the monarch of the forest paSa- ed over a very unusual route along the shore of the lake. <It was first sighted opposite the south end of the town, coming at full speed up the lake on the smooth surface, and it was still going strong when it passed from sight around the bend in the shore line at Moore‘s Cove. How the aniâ€" mal came to stray so far from its usual haunts is a mystery. â€" It is many years since the denizens of the forest roamed over this particular spot, although occasionally a wild animal is seen close around the outâ€" skirts of the town. Theose who saw the moose last evening all claim that it was a fine specimen. : No one venâ€" tured to give chase, so it is not known just at what point the animal left the lake, but it has probably reached more familiar country long before this.‘"‘ It will be interesting to acar the younger generation telling their «lhildâ€" ren about the things they didn‘t do when they were young.â€" Ofttawa Journal.
