MAY BE A NEW KLONDIKE

Labrador has till recently been, re-
garded as sort Of "never, never
land,'' owing to the inhospitalityt Of
the climate. and the rugged nature of
the country, but the $4,000 square
miles of the peninsula are now attract
ing attention by reason Of its forests
and reputed mineral wealth, and Cana
ola is accordingly disputing the boun-
dairy line claimed by Newfoundland
The coast belongs to the latter country,
but the interior-beyond line not yet
definitely located belongs to Canada.
In 1909 the eastern littoral was given
terland to Canada, or rather to the
Hudson Bay company. AS laid down
in the documents the boundary is a
mistaken one, since it conflicts with an
express grant of the coast to Newfound-
land. Negotiations are now in progress
for an amicable adjustment. A refusal
Of Observation-Disclosures to paw royalty to
Quebec for timber cut at Hamilton In
let has brought differences to eli
max. Accurate surveys are being
made with a view to decision, the
last word being with the privy council
or arbiters chosen by the London gov
eminent.
At some points Newfoundland,s
claims extend 200 miles inland, but
Canada will not concede strip along

without having to pass thru coast
wise strip owned by her neighbor. For

are thought to abound in the disputed
area. It will not surprise the Cana

Invariably you can make a sale. No
matter how many mice you may have,
the market is always open. There is a
dime waiting for every possessor Of his
mouse who wishes to dispose of his
property.
Up to this time, the ordinary mouse
has been considered a mere pest; an
enemy to mankind. At last, however,
mice have been advanced to an honored
place in the animal world. Without
MICE. modern medicine would know
p[actlcaily noJhlng ABOUT that deadly
foe to the human race-cancer.
During the last few years, however,
since science has turned it's attention
mousewards, research into the history
of cancer has progressed by leaps and
bounds. 1t is not too much to predict
that before many years medical knowl-
edge will have extended to the mastery
Of cancer, just as it's knowledge Of diph-
iberia has rendered that once dreadful
r plague practically harmless. When we
consider that the material for cancer re-
search IS supplied entirely by mice, the

able to isolate cancer and finally cure it

should combine to erect statue to the

The first operation connected with
cancer work is to implant in a healthy
mouse the living cells of cancer. This
is usually done by hypodermic needle.
The mouse to be treated is seized by
the back Of the neck, and. with a swift
movement, the experimenter gives him
an injection. of cancer. 1t does not
take long, after the first injection, for
the cancer to develop. From time to
time, mice with cancer are treated
with certain serums, taken from the
bodies Of other inoculated mice, and
occasionally mice with cancer actually
recover. At other times certain mice
are injected beforehand with these
fluids, and then, when they are given
the cancer injection, it has been found
that the disease will not take root. -.
It is by the discovery of some pro-
hibitive serum that the scientists hope
to achieve success. AS soon as some
body fluid is found that will 7have4the

kittens, and all other animals so often
used in Investigations to discover rem

failed to yield practical results in can

wrestling with today. Mice by the

When it was first proposed to con-

cause and cure of cancer, the medical
profession believed the task an almost
hopeless one., So many mysteries were
involved in the research; SO many we'll

cancer was practically incurable, that
the work appeared involved in insur-
mountable difficulties. Three years
