THH GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL

Tte railway facilities Of Western

tsrmost IL recent years 70 transfer
the surplus grain crop to the eastern
markets and the se4board. The large
influx Of settlers ard the additional
area put under crop have added large
y to the grain product, and notWith-
standing the increased railway facil-
ities that have been placed at the dis
posaI Of the public. the question Of
transportation has proved TO be a 50
rious one.
I. viz. therefore. be good news to
everyone interested IN Western Can
ada TO know that an authoritative
statement has been given out BY c.
~ Hays, president Of tas Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway, that that rail
way win do its share towards moving
the crop Of 1907 from Alberta, Sas-
katchewan and Manitoba to tide water.
and thus assist in removing a serious
obstacle which has faced the settlers
during recent years. Mr.. Hays, who
has Just completed a trip from Port

ne schooner. a distance Of 735 miles.
which was covered ii eighteen days.
is enthusiastic about the country.
This viii be gratifying to settlers IN

declines TO be bound to q time limit

The Grand Trunk Pacific road win be
in position to take part in the trans
portation Of the crop Of 1907. and that
win be satisfactory to the settlers in
that country when the harvest is gar
nered.
The wheat crop Of 1906 In Western
Canada was about 10000, 900 bushels.
and, with the increased acreage which
is confidently expected to be put IN
der crop next year. 1t is safely caIcu-
lated that fully 125, 900 900 bushels win
be harvested in 1907. The necessity
for increased transportation facilities
are. therefore. apparent. and the state
ment made BY Mr.. Hays will bring en-
couragement to the farmers Of the

HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER.
German Doctor Explains Causes Of
Various Formations


At a recent convention ef German
naturallsts and doctors Dr. Watcher.
of Stuttgart, in an instructive paper
snt forth a sensational theory to ex-
plain the formation Of the shape Of
the head Of infants He maintained
that tlle head Of . child could Be
nodded artificially. He found by ex-
perfence that when a medlum-shaped
head Il placed in a soft cushion the
child turns on its back. or rests on the
back Of It's head. In order to free
mouth, nose and face. In this manner
the head rests smoothly, and a short
head Is developed. But II the medium
shaped head 81 a child Is placed on 9
hard under 4est, like q hair mattress
OF rolled carpet, the chiId's head
turns aside, as II cannot stand any
more on its head than an egg. for the
muscle Of the back Is weakened.
Therefore, with continued resting on
the side long head Is developed. To
prove his assertions the lecturer pre-
Bented a child whose mother and sis
ter are short-headed. The child at its
birth had a short head. now after Is
months It Is long skulled. Il the child
had been placed on is back. according
10 other experiences its head would
have been shortshaped- Or. Walcner
did nc3 deny that the shape Of the
head was inherited. but asserted that
Il could be greatly Influenced By the
way the child rested.
