Shipper Predicts Heavy Car- goes lo England â€" U.S. Also Buys â€" Pulp wood Demand Saint Jolin.â€" Lumber shipments from the Maritime Provinces to the United Kingdom this month and July will total from 40,000,000 to 50.000,000 feet, according to a prediction by W. E. Golding, shipper of Saint John, who re- cently returned from a trip to Eng- land made in the Interests ot Eastern Canadian lumbermen. This prediction was coincident with a statement by Premier L. P. D. Tilley that the long lumber market had been improTing by "leaps and bouads" and ihal '"demanils from the United King- lom are pouring into our lumber urokers " All indications pointed to a revival of activity in New Brunswick's lumber industry, said Premier Tilley. "Stocks on hand of long lumber are pretty well disposed of and the prospects for K large Winter cut are exceedingly ^ood," he remarked, noting that Fraser Companies, Limited, had opened their mills at Victoria Mills, Quisipis and Athol. , "The palpwood industry also is be- ginning to look up," he added, an- nouncing a further contract had been ligned for a cut of 25,000 cords in the lliramichi and Gloucester County Mother and Daughter College Students weas I Demand for lumber had also in- ereased in the United States, said Mr. Tilley. It was gratifying, he remark- ed, that the railways had seen fit to extend special low rates, as of June ^7, on pulpwood shipped from New Brunswick to points in Maine. Increasing building and commercial ictivity, depleted stocks, an improved jschange situation, the British embar- |0 on Russian lumber and definite price increases were given as factors entering into the present uptrend in Ihe lumbering industry. -< : â-  â€" sh citj ived al undaj mile< and 5< naguej tie Ha' rreatet , tro Vir * grac* » viriti, • Span- plam' Th«i }08lb One Hundred British Tars to Visit Simcoe this Year imcoe. â€" Plans are being completed tor a visit here this Fall ot one hun- fired seamen of H.M.S.

New estimates by the Department of Agriculture crop reporting board indi- cate that the yield will be the first this century below domestic needs, and that during the next year the nation will have to draw upon its carryover from surplus "bumper" crops of past years. The domestic carryover on July 1 is expected to equal that last year of 363,000,000 bushels. The board indicated, on the basis ot June 1 reports, that production ot win- ter wheat wll be 311,000,000 bushels. The average production of this type from 1926 to 1930 was 589,000,000 bushels. It reported that the condition ot all spring wheat as of June 1 was 84. 9 per cent, of normal, while its average con- dition on the same date from 1921 to 1930 was 85.8. It said there are indica- tions that the spring wheat crop is "below average." Based on the board's March intentions to plant report which indicated that spring wheat growers intended to cut acreage 2.5 per cent., and upon the average crop in last year, spring vvheat production was unofficial- ly estimated at 2G2,000;000 bushels, or a total crop ot 603,000,000 bushels. French Wheat Harvest Less than Domestic Consumption Paris. â€" The Bureau ot Agriculture announces that because ot the drought the wheat harvest would total only 603,000,000-bushels this year. If this estimate should prove true, it will be the first time in this century that France's wheat harvest has been less than the average estimated con- sumption ot 620,000,000 bushels.

SHE WAS GEHING FATTER Now Do-wn to Normal "1 was putting on flesh very rapid- ly," writes a married woman, "and also suffering from constipation, and was very liverish. Three months ago a friend advised me to take a tea- spoontul ot Kruschen Salts in hot water every morning. I have kept this up regularly ever since, although I have been down to my normal weight (126 lbs.) for several weeks. I never felt better in my life, and I intend to carry on with Kruschen always. Sev- eral of my friends have remarked how slim I was getting and how well I was looking. After my having told them how it was done they are doing the same." â€" (Mrs.) D. H. Overweight arises frequently be- cause the system is loaded with unex- pelled waste, like a furnace choked with ashes and soot. Allowed to accu- mulate, this waste matter is turned into layer after layer ot fat.

Then, little by little, that ugly fat goes â€" slowly, yes â€" but surely. You feel wonderfully healthy, youth- ful and energetic â€" more so than ever before in your life! U. S. Architects Seek to. Preserve Landmarks Washington. â€" The American Insti- tute ot Architects has started a move- ment tor the preservation ot historic -American monuments, says Leicester B. Holland, chairman of the Institute's committee on the preservation of his- toric buildings. A national list of buildings of either architectural importance or of notable historic interest is being compiled by the committee. "In foreign nations, where architec- ture is a national concern,"' said Hol- land, "historic monuments are listed and cared tor by the state. Here, where democracy leaves cultural af- fairs largely to public whim, it is pro- per for the architects organized in a national body to assume the leadership of popular interest in preserving im- portant monuments of the past." Recently a practising physician, who knew the formula ot Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, tested the btood of eleven people before and after taking this widely-knowu blood-building remedy. ... -At the start, these patients were all easily tired, lacked energy and were underweight Their Miooft Streams wore found to be deficient In haemoglobin and red corpuscles in a short time, however.

ISSUE No. 25â€" '33 Immunizing Skin .Against Poison Ivy â€" Russian Scientist Studies Origin of Grain It is of little use to tell city pic- nickers how they may identify poison ivy- They simply sit down in a growth of it, munch their sandwiches and rue their ignorance of elementary botany later. So the (Joctoi:; bend their effort to discover how they can assuage the itchings and burnings called by them dermatitis. On the ancient, homely principle that a little of the froth of the mad dog that bit you will cure you of hydrophobia, counti-y people have for centuries advocated the chewing of poison ivy leaves to alleviate dermati- ti?. Ther«!tilt? Stomachaches. Yet the principle of like curing like is so well established in medicine that physicians toy with the old folk prin- ciple. They have prescribed alcoholic extracts of the leaves and injected di- luted poison-ivy juice into the veins, wi'.' results that are at best contra- dictory. It occurred to Dr. Fred Mei- sel of Mount Sinai Hospitrl, New- York, that it might be possible to im- n- inize the skin directly. He describes his results in the Journal of Allergy. Since "allergy" is not to be found in most dictionaries, it is as well to ex- plain here that the word means the reaction of an immunized organism to a specific disease. The allergic con- dition often precedes immunity- Hay fever and bronchial asthma are now- regarded as allergic diseases. IVY EXTRACT IN BATHS One of Dr. Meisel's cases was that of a Boy Scout leader who had to spend his week-ends in the country and invariably broke out with the characteristic dermatitis of poison ivy. Daily baths which contained gi-adu- ally increasing amounts of poison ivy e-\tract brought about so high a de- gree of immunization that "the patient exposed himself on four dilTerent oc- casions in four ditferent localities w-here poison ivy existed in abundance without developing any symptoms '..hatsoever." Dr. J'eisel things that the simplicity of the treatment viay - ad other physicians to experiment with it and thus build up a more sub- stantial case record, although he points to "a real danger of initiating an attack of poison ivy'' unless very V eak doses are cautiously used in the beginning and a vigilant eyes is kept open for the first symptoms of skin lesions. The actual poison of poison ivy is a complex orgf nic compound some- what like resin and related to carbolic acid. It is so active that a garden tool which has come in contact with it may cause dermatitis. The usual remedy is to wrsh the skin first with alcohol or gasoline (but not ethyl gasoline, which contains lead) and then with soap and water. Dr. James B Mc- Nair of the Kield Museum of Natur.i! History of Chicago recommends a so- lution of 5 per cent ferric chloride in a 50 per cent, solution of alcohol. TRACING EARLY MAN. Civilization l)egins with farming. .\ i tribe must settle down for at least h season if it grows what it eats instea 1 of seeking it in forest or stream. ' Hence, if we can discover whence came the first grains and what thoy were, ] wc should go far in tracing civilized man back to his cradle. j The leader in studies of this kind io the Russian geneticist Vavilov. In I spite of the internationalization if j cultivated plants, the wanderings of peoples, colonization and the antiquity 1 of agriculture, he finds it possible to I trace a species of wheat and baric;; back to its original geographical birth- place. -Applying the methods of the plant breeder he sifts out original I varieties of grains- He has about 30.- 000 varieties under cultivation. According to Vavilov the centre oi diversity of a species is the place where it originated. He finds the greatest number of varieties of bread w-heat (botanists call it Triticum vulgare) in Afghanistan and fewer ami fewer as he proceeds outwardly from this centre. The most important .-•pecies of durum wheat comes from Abyssinia, where it is very diverse. Two modern varieties of wheat, there- fore, originated in mountainous ai-eas. Vavilov finds that there were five world centres from which our princi- pal agricultural plants came. Afghan- istan gave us bread wheat, beans, peas, lentils, carrots and pomegran- ates. From Southeast .A.sia came naked oats, naked barley, millet, soy beans, fruit trees and probably rice. The Mediterranean and Abyssinian regions produced the ancestors of oi"r oats, peas, large seeded flax, many vegetables, durum wheat and hulled barley. The fifth centre is the new- world, with Mexico, Peru, Chile as the original homes of potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, maize (what we call corn), tobacco and the occidental cottons. It is probably a coincidence, yet strange, that an examination of the blood of about 500 Europeans, ma'le b. Dr. Bernstein, should lead to con- clus'ons th.at harmonize with Vavilov's finjings. Th( weak spot in Vavilov's reason- ing may be his premise that the con- ire of groitest diversity defines 'he place of a plant's origin. Even if it pro\es that fhe wanderings of peoples may have hc'ped 'c shift the centre of dispersion, he has brought order where hitherto there has been only chaos. The diffusionist school of ethnologists, wh>, hold that man originated in one soot and that all culture rippled out from this as a centre, will find little oo'iifcrt in 'h'r.i. His evidence points to at least two places â€" Afghanistan ano North Africa â€" as likely places for civilized man to have begun his rise. Moreover, the first fanners were I'-.ountuineers and not valley folk, as the anthropologists and ethnoU>gists have been teaching. ISSUE No. 24â€"33 GOVEBNKEirT APFBOVSO CKICXS.

British Air Pilot Sights Ancient City Under Sea Alexandria, Egypt. â€" The sharp eye of a British Royal Air Force pilot was responsible for what is said to be ona of the most important archeological discoveries in recent years. While flying near Nelson Island Group Captain John T. Cull saw some- thing shaped like a large horseshoe beneath the clear Mediterranean. He informed Prince Omar Toussoun, Egyptian archeologist, who sent a diver down. It was ascertained that the horseshoe is made up of columns ot marble and red granite and tha foundations of ancient buildings. Among relics brought up is the head of a marble statue ot Ale.xander th« Great. Experts believe the ruins may be those of Canopus. a fashionable sea- side resort during the Roman rule in Egypt. B.C.
