They were bitterly disappointed in rhina. - . . . Their recent actions show that the Soviet are no better pleased with the result of their ef- forts to convert India to their creed. The executive of the Communist In- ternational in Moscow not long ago turned M. N. Roy out of his charge as director of propaganda In India; he has now been expelled as a renegade. Apparently he did not produce suf- ficiently fruitful results for the money they copiously voted him. A gentle- man of the name of P. Schubin is un- derstood to be Roy's successor.

TORPID LIVED INDIGESTION (ONSTIPAflON NERVOUSMfS^ HEADACHt', " French Develop African Desert France Digging Artesian Wells to Make the Great Sahara Bloom Algiers. Most people look upon the Sahara as a land open for world tour- ists, enjoying an ideal winter. This is partly true sinee the great Africau desert has been made possible for motoring. Nevertheless, it is not only a show place ot aever-to-be-forgotten attractions, bat also a land of labor, ladeed. this wilderness, owing to the energetic efforts of the French auth- orities, is becoming a land of ever- green gardens, where the populations live peacefully in the shade of their palm trees amid wires, children, asses and camels. The Saharan tribes believe their country to be the moat beautiful and themselves the happiest of people and, while busy cultivating their gardens, or lazily lying in the sun along their inud-baked houses, bless Allah for pouring so many and generous gifts upon them. The Algerian Sahara covers an area of about 2,200,000 kilometers and Is Inhabited by over 300,000 people of Berber or Arab origin, white and black, nomad or sedentary. It has been divided by writers into three sections: A large pasture field, where several million domestic animals (sheep, oxen, asse- and camels) feed; a small cereal field, where Inter alia, barley and tobacco grow, and lastly, a beautiful garden. Artesian Wells France Is carrying out a wide hy- draulic policy through which many wells have been and are being dug. These are known by the natives as "Friendship Fountains" and have con- quered the Saharan tribes far more easily than could have soldiers and guns and turned the deserted region into fruitful lands the products of which are known to the world at large. The flist French artesian well was dug in lS4ti, and the most famous one in 1924 in the small oasis of Raier on the wa;, from Biskra, the famous winter resort to Tuggurt and the great desert market lying on the main camel tracks. When opened, it gave an output of 20^000 litres a minute. The mo'st famous oasis Is found at Auargla, a small town inhabited by Arabs and Negroes and lying 850 kilo- meters south of Algiers. This oasis Includes nearly 1.000.000 date trees in- closed in beautiful gardens. Two hun- dred and eighty kilometers farther south is the small but very beautiful oasis of El. Goloa. lying in a romantic setting at the foot of a very old Ksar (castle) perched up high on a rock tov/ering above the endless plain. Cost and Value of Dates That date trees are valuable re- sources to their owners is clearly shown by the fact that each tree costs from SOO to 1200 francs, according to the quality of its fruit and is con- sidered by all the Saharan people as a heavenly manna to be used as x a daily food. Even camels are so fed when undertaking a journey of several 'ays over the raiu". plains to the re- mote and meagre pasture fields. At the present time, according to recent estimates, the volume of water obtained by artesian wells, both j French and native, is about 200,000 liters a minute, irrigatiug an area ofi 300,000 hectares covered with palm! gardens yie'dlng a yearly crop of ! dates worth 100,000,000 rancs, making | the annual sport of this fruit to!

Canadian pulpwood manu- facturers may utilize the thousands of acres of partly burned timber in New Ontario, according to Oiitarfo Govern- ment officials. A successful sale has already been n_ada of a large quantity of such wood in the Hearst area. In recent years there has been com- paratively little use of burnt-over tim- ber in Ontario," stated W. C. Cain, de- puty minister of lands and forests. "The department has been asked to sanction, the cutting of this wood for export to the United States, but we did not approve of that. But Judging by this recent sale Ontario mills may find use for this sort ot timber." When a man alms at nothing he usually demonstrates his marksman- ship by hitting his target.

In the columns of the Lon- don Times there appeared recently the following advertisement: Live house crickets wanted for country bouse; must be healthy, strong aud loud chirpors; state price. Write Box Q 1343. tha Times E. C. 4. The advertiser, a doctor, was soon traced, and he stated that the adver- tisement was inserted in at. effort to supply a real want, as ho had just bought a country mansion ot the old Elizabethan type, \vhich was comp'.eto except for crickets on the l.eartlt. "The house," he said, "has flue old, open brick grates that arj just aching for crickets. Already I have prepared the homes of my new little friends. The holes are neat and deep. The rugs are before the fire and I will pro- mise that all the delicacies they like shall be showered upon them. Then, and ..ot till then, will my home be like home." This desire for crii-kets is no new fad of the doctor's. He had an old house before, and when he first weut there no crickets were in occupation. One day, however, he attended a poor patient who could not pay the fee, but in her house he heard crick- ets innumerable. "Send mo a few," said the worthy medico, 'and I will send you ;v receipt." The crickets arrived the next day and after boring holes for them around the fireplace the doctor fed them daily until quite a firm friend- ship had sprung up. "At first they would come out only after dark, but as time wore on they seemed to get to know the smell of my pipe, I fiink, for whenever I was alone iu the room they would creep out and, sitting on the hearth at my feet, sing their little song till they could be heard all over the house." The news that some one was inter- ested in crickets came as a pleasant surprise to an expert at the Natural History Museum. "It is a change to iear some one asking for crickets" he said. "Usually it is the other way round. We have many complaints and requests for the most effective method ot getting rid of them. "Now, personally I like crickets and I would have one or two ot them In my house if I knew where to get them. But you see there is no place In this country where you can procure house crickets, except in refuse dumps and I do not like them as much as all that."

When the steam- ship Malolo was recently IL this port, with between 300 and 400 business men from various parts of the United States, on a tour intended to familiar- ize them with the Pacific and its prob- lems, much interest was taken in the beaches along the ocean front of Syd- ney. The opinion was expressed that the beaches are unequaled for their flne white sand and general contour and for the oreanside sport and pastime they provide. Within a stretch of about 30 miles from 15 miles south of Sydney to 15 miles north there are a dozen beaches. From September to April there are crowds on all, the largest at- tendance being in November, Decem- ber, January and February, when the weather is warmest. There are usual- ly more than 100,000 persons on this stretch at the week-end. The costum- ing recalls Deauville. The municipali- ties which have these beaches within their boundaries spend larga sums in bathhouses, promenades and other equipment necessary for the comfort of the visitors.

After checking his goods DO YOU SUFFER WITH HEADACHE? So easy to get quick relief and pre- vent an attack in the future. Avoid bromides and dope. They relieve quick- ly but affect the heart and are very dangerous. They arc depressing and only give temporary relief, the cause of the headache still remains within. , The sane and harmless way. First correct the cause, sweeten the sour and acid stomach, relieve the intes- tines of the decayed and poisonous food matter, gently stimulate the liver, start the bile flowing and the bowels pass off the waste matter which causes your headache.
