BETTER SMOKE BACHELOR THE FINEST lOc CIGAR ON THE MARKET British Women Doctors Serve In Colonies The total number of women stu- dents In the universities fell from 12,- 162 in the session 1923-24 to 12,899 In 1928-29 and the number of women en- trants from 3.849 to 3,704, says the London correspondent of The Ameri- can Medical Association. "At the- same time the total number of students increased in the five years under review from 53,025 to 44,309, but the former figure included 1,742 x-service men taking university courses under the government acheme," he continues. "High hopes were formed about openings for wo- men during the war, which have not been fulfilled in the difficult period that followed, and the resulting disap- pointment must have been an import- ant factor in the decrease. The medi- cal profession is a case in point, for the number of women students of . medicine and dentistry fell from 2,595 in 1921-22 to 2,020 in 1923-24 and to I 1,108 in 1928-29. It is also likely, how- ever, that the general economic de- pression has borne mere heavily on the girls than on the boys. In families short of means to send children to the universities there would be a prefer- ence given to boys. "On the other hand, with regard to the special case of th j medical pro- fession, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Lord Passfield, declared at the colonial conference now sitting: "We are bringing in the women. Fif- teen years ago you could count the : number of women physicians in the \ colonial services on the fingers of one) hand. Now there are over sixty, and j the old idea that a woman had no place In such rough and tumble con- ditions of service as the Crown colon- ies must be glVen up. There is noth- ing that women cannot do nowadays, and I look to see the number of wo- men physicians steadily increased, not that they may oust the male physi- tlang, but In order that they may give BLACKHEADS Get two ounce* of percsine powder from your druggist Sprinkle on a hot. wet cloth and rub th face briskly.

"Provincial Days" at Royal Winter Fair "We are featuring 'Provincial Days' at the Royal Winter Fair," said the President, Alfred Rogers, In an inter- view, "because it has always been felt that one of the purposes of the Fair in addition to promoting the more immediate needs of Canadian agricul- ture, Is to contribute to the develop- ment of national unity. This year we feel sure from the letters and re- cords that the Royal will be a con- crete expression of the optimism of all who believe In the basic soundness of economic conditions In Canada. The first day has been designated for this especial purpose of the Royal program, 'Canadian Day'. On that day the broad national aspects of Canadian agriculture are brought out and Its uniting effect In a national sense are seen more plainly. We are dedicating the succeeding days to each of the provinces, combining the three Maritime provinces into one. This year the order will be: Canaiian Day Wednesday, Novem- ber 19th. British Columbia Thursday, Nov. 20th. Maritime Day Friday, November 21st. Quebec Day Saturday, November 22nd. Alberta Day Monday, November 24th. Manitoba Day Tuesday, November 25th. Saskatchewan Day Wednesday, No- vember 26th. Ontario Day Thursday, Xoneaiber 27th. "Oa each day we hope to have the Minister of Agriculture of each pro- vin* or his representative, and we shall make that particular province as prominent as possible through parades of livestock in the arena and in many other ways. "In the past this has created an atmosphere that has tended to intensi- fy general interest iif these provinces and their resources. In this way visitors to the Royal find a means under one roof of comparing the ei- hibits of widely separated districts of Canada and of contrasting them with others, while at the same time sens- ing the link of unit that in abroad way runs through our Canadian life." "We attach much Importance to the place the "Provincial Days' take In the Royal plans". Mr. Rogers added "they have, we think, an Important influence which e'.evatea our agricul- tural industry and give it added digni- ty in the eyes of the men and women who live by it". British Expedition Will Attempt Kanchenjunga Climb Delhi, India. A British expedition is being organized to attempt the ascent of Mount Kamet, 25,431 feet, and "'ill start next August, it was an- nounced recently. Mount Kamet, which lies within the borders of the United Provinces, is the secsnd high- est mountain in the British Empire and has never been scaled. The expedition is being organized by Frank S. Smythe, whose descrip- tions of the recent Kanchenjunga ex- pedition were published, with Prof. Gunther Dyhrenfurths, an associate in that expedition. It is proposed that the Mount Kamet expedition be lim- ited to four or five persons, a sugges- tion made in the light of the exper- ience of the Kanchenjunga adventu^p. It is also probable the expedition will include only members of the Alpine Club and the Himalaya Club. Wood Johnson, who played a heroic role in the Kanchenjunga expedition, will join the new party if possible. It is planned to compass the ciimb be- tween the end of August and the mid- dle of October neyt year. * Carlsbad Cavern Bats The bats which live and hibernate in one end of Carlsbad Caverns, esti- mated at 3,000,000, have not ',een giv- ing their usual spectacular flights recently, according to th American Association for the Advancement of Science. Two reas^rs are advanced for this. Onesjs that the extremely dry weather of the past season has cv.used a scarcity of night-flying in- sects, the other is that they have been disturbed by work going on in a near- by guano mine. Occasionally, how- ever, they stream forth in great num- bers, their flight from the cave open- ing lasting for sev>ral hours. An in- teresting feature of the bat exodus is that although they always fly south when they emerge from the cavern they invariably return next morning from the north. Miss Gladys L. Powell, o! Winnipeg, passenger .on a recent trip aboard Canadian Pacific liner Duchess of Richmond to Montreal, bad a brilliant ! idea for the Masquerade which tea- j tured the entertainment of travellers j on the voyage. She went as a "C.P.R. advertisement" and when you look at the above photograph you will not be surprised to learn that she was award- ed the prize for "the most original costume." Booklets, labels, badges, mottoes and C.P.R. designs make up a beautiful and effective ensemble. An amateur angler, who was not up to the tricks of the game, had been whipping the water without success for an hour or so, when the inspector marched up. "Are >vi aware," said the newcomer, menatin r ly, "that this is preserved water?" "is it?" said the angler. "I thought there was some- thing funny about it." When You OVER- INDULGE EVERY man, woman and child will occasionally over-indulge. But don't suffer for your indiscretions. It's folly to do so when you can so easily sweeten and settle a sour, upset stomach with a little Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. Hearty eaters have long since learned the quick comfort this per- fect anti-acid brings. Smokers know how it neutralizes nicotine; brings back a sweet taste; guards the breath. Women know wnat it does for nausea or sick headache. And when ,'hiMu-u have over-eaten re bilious, constipated or otherwise upset give them a little of the ianie. pleasant-tasting and milky- white Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. You'll be through with crude methods once you learn the perfect way. Nothing else has the same quick, gentle effect. Doctors pre- scribe it for indigestion, nausea, heartburn, gas. sour stomach and headache. It has been standard with them for over 50 years. Insist on genuine Phizes' Milk of Magnesia; a less perfect product may not act the same. The genuine is always a liquid never in tablet form and the name Phillips* is always on bottle and wrapper.

Danger from Colds Every woman beyond middle age should realize that a majority of the troubles she has to fear have their origin in what are known as common colds.

The typical Ne\v York State farm saves its owner about $263 a year on the family food bill, figured at farm prices, or nearly $400 a year at retail prices, Stanley W. Want.! of the State College of Agriculture finds in the accounts of 614 farms. Figuring the $S- worth of milk a*' double that cost at retail, he suggested that the farmers should use more than the average of seven-tenths of a quart per person dally. Only about a fourth of the families made their own butter, and each of these used about three pounds a week. Poultry furnished $80 worth of food a year, each famil/ using six egjrs daily and three pounds of chicken weekly. Twothirds of the families! had home-grown pork, using about a ! pound a day, or $39 worth in a year. ' Besides garden vegetables .and' honey, the typical family used thirty- seven bushels of potatoes and fourteen of apples and burned twenty-one cords of wood. But only seven of the 51 1 , farmers took wheat to the mill andj brought home flour as their grand-! fathers did. Minard's Liniment refreshes th scalp.

Almost a Honeymoon The young couple were driving in a horse-car to the station after the wed- ding. Their enthusiastic friends and rela- tives had treated them to a more than rousing send-off. Shoes, rice, and con- fetti had descended in showers. Passers-by grinned that "just married" grin as they drove through the streets. "Well, that's all over, dear." said the bridegroom, soothin? his tremb- ling bride, "nothing more to worry about now." Suddenly the cab pulled up with a jerk. The driver alighted and poked his head through the cab window. "Hor-ie thrown a shoe," he explain- ed. The young bride clutched at her husband's arm. "Oh, George!" she cried. "Is it pos- sible that even the hor?e knows that we are newly married:" A New Party? It was a very wet day, and the child- ren were in the nursery discussing certain things they would do when they grew up. "Yes," said little Peggy, "when I grow up I'll have a big motor-car." "So shall I." put in her brother Eric. "And a big twelve-valve wireless set," Peggy went on. "So shall I." chanted Eric. Peggy paused for new ideas. "Oh, then I'll have a big party every night," she continued. "Yes, and so shall I," Eric agreed. "Eric," expostulated Peggy sudden- ly, "you must be one of those people daddy calls 'so-shall-ists'."
