ROYALTY WELCOMES THE
AMERICAN SETTLER
HIS ROYAL HIGHNEsS, THE DUKE
OF cONNAUGHT, WELCOMES
AMERICANS TO CANADA.

1t was a happy speech, that on that
beautiful October day, the Duke Of
Connaught, Governor-General OF Can
ada, made at Macleod, Alberta It
was an opportune speech, heartful
and resonant with good fellowship.
And, as it was specially intended for
American ears, the audience, COM
prised largely Of so many American
settlers in Canada, the time and place
could not have been better chosen.
1t was in reply to an address of well
come rendered to him at the pretty
city Of Macleod. with the foothills Of
the Rockies as a setting, and the
great wheat fields between, and In
fact all around the place as the fore
ground, that His Highness, true to the
best interests of the country and to
those of the Americans who choose
to make Canada their home, said in
part:
81 am well aware that among those
whom am now addressing, there are
a very great proportion who were not
born under the British flag. Most Of
these will have realized by now that
residence under that flag implies no
disabilities. All we ask is that the
laws of Canada should be obeyed.
with this provision every one is
free to come and go, to marry, to live
and to die as seems best to him, and
as it pleases Providence
eve bring no pressure to bear on
anyone to adopt the Canadian nation
atty, for we do not value citizenship
which is obtained under compulsion.
"Our American cousins are welcome
from over the border. Thrice we vel
come our Canadian and British broth
ers, who return to the Union Jack, aft
er living under the Stars and Stripes.
History is repeating itself For
many years hundreds of young Brit
ishers have sought fortune in the
western States. Time has brought
about a change, and the tide has set
in the other direction, bringing across
the frontier numbers Of our neighbors
to whom we are glad to return hos
pftalities.
zone Of the chief dispensers Of such
hospitality in proportion to its popu-
lation has, as we have said, changed
its character from an important cat
tie town to thriving wheat producing
area
What it has lost from the pictur-
esque point of view, 1t has gained in
the material side, and I wish, in con-
clusion, to express the hope that the
prosperity which has evinced itself
here for the past ten years, may con-
tinue undated In the future"
There is no reason why at hun
bred places on this educative, instruct
i've and interesting trip Of His Royal
Highness he might not have express

each occasion, addressed large gather

COLD STORAGE FOR VEGETABLES, APPLES
AND OTHER FRUITS WITHOUT THE USE OF ICE
State Agricultural College Working Perfect Storage CaveAp
Stored in the Fall Were in Good Condition When
Taken Out in the Sping--Proper
Ventilation the Secret
by David E Lewis. Horticulture s. A C.I

Y VEGETABLES and fruits, espe-
cially apples, have long been
stored in caves, cellars or vege-
table hills, in an effort to preserve
them fresh for winter use. Such eff
forts as practiced on the average farm
are only partly successful, due largely
to a lack of proper ventilation or to
variable temperature.
On account of the Importance of
such storage, the horticultural depart
ment has tried to perfect a storage
cave, which would approach the iced
storage house in temperature without
the necessity of ice for cooling. A
cave was made in the fall of 1911 and
filled with different varieties of apples.
This fruit was packed in boxes and
barrels and stored in the same manner
as in the large cold storage plants. 1t
was removed at various intervals dur
ing the winter and spring, the last be
ing taken out at the. end of the ordi-
nary storage season. The fruit re-
manned so perfect that it was unneces-
sary to open the packages and regrade
for selling and practically no loss was
incurred by rotting.
During the 0nI1TG Winter anu iu0 IdSt
summer a recording thermograph has
been kept in the cave and during sew
eral weeks the temperature did not
vary more than one-half degree in a
week. The average variation was no
greater than is common in iced stor-
age houses and was seldom more than
one or two degrees during a week.
Ventilation was provided by means
of an 8-inch tile laid below ground,
coming to the surface htree rods from
the cave. The air received through
this ventilator was cooled in summer
and warmed in winter so that it was
near the temperature of the cave when
it reached the storage room. Four f
inch tiles were placed in the floor OF
the cave and connected with the 8-inch
ventilator. so that the ventilating air
was distributed in equal proportions
throughout the stored fruit. Three
10-inch tiles were used in the top. for
completing the air current and provid-
ing a draft After the fruit had been

A PENALTY OF AGE

The tendency Of advancing years to
restrict activity and exercise is re-
Bpcnsible for the constipated condition
Of most elderly people. The wear Of
years impairs the action of the bow
els and the digestive organs are more
sensitive to the demands upon them
and rebel more quickly. Cathartics
and purgatives are violent and dras-
tic in their action and should not be
used to correct constipation. A mild,
yet positively effective remedy, and
one that is recommended by physi-
clans as well as by thousands who
have used it, is the compound of sim
pie laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
Ecribed by Dr. w B. Caldwell over

stored about a month, the S-inch ven
tilator was partly closed, as the fruit
during the remainder of the time re-
CURED less rapid ventilation.
During the picking season, when the
nights are quite cold and frosty, low
temperature in the cave may be OBJ
tanned by opening the cave door late
in the evening and closing it early in
the morning. a temperature of 40 to
80 degrees is low enough at the start.
Little trouble will be experienced in
obtaining low temperatures after the
first month. AS near 80 degrees as
possible should be maintained during
the winter and spring.
The inside dimensions of the cave
are "a feet long by II feet inches
wide by feet high. A few more than
1000 boxes of apples can be properly
stored in it. The side walls are of
concrete, made of four parts of sand,
four parts of crushed stone and one
part of cement. The floor, which rests
upon a shelf of rock, is three inches
thick made of four parts of sand to
one of cement. The slab forming the
top is made of four parts of sand, four
parts VI CIuSHGU SlOu6 anu one part Ol
cement, REINFORCED with 5s-inch square
twist bars, spaced AZ inches on center
and one-half inch from the bottom of
the slab.
The cave was on the northeast slope
of a small hill, to take advantage both
of the slope in construction and the
constant temperature due to this slope
Such a cave will cost from $3.50 to
$500, not including excavating. Being
entirely of concrete and tile. it will
be almost indestructible. Smaller stor-
age caves may be made at less cost,
but the important principles of con-
slant temperature and ventilation must
be kept in mind to insure success.
Fruit intended for storage should be
picked from the trees, after it is well
colored and before it is dead ripe"
Care should be taken in handling to
see that it is not bruised. All inferior
and wormy specimens should be taken
out, as it pays to store only the best.

TO PROBE DEATHS
U. S. Will Investigate Killing of
Chinese Girl Infants.
OrientaIs Invariably Place Blame on
Scorpions When Female Babies
Die SuddenIy-One Case
Showed Fractured Skull.

Honolulu.-It is the belief of the au-
thOrities that the practice Of infanti-
eide among the Chinese of these
| islands is common, and vigorous meas
ures will at once be taken by federal
and local officials to determine to
what extent the murder of infants
among the orientals has been carried
on and to bring the offenders to JUS
! tfce.
In fact, the first move in that di-
rection was made when By order of
| United States District Attorney
Breckons, Chun Kin SUIT, one of the
Wealthiest Chinese of the territory,
and his wife were arrested, charged
with murder in the first degree in
causing the death OF their year-old
/ girl baby. Pending further investiga-
| ton the pair were released upon fur
nishing cash bail Of $4,000 and 49,.
! 600, respectively.
| The story of Chun Kin SUIT and his
! wife is that the little one was bitten
/ by scorpion, that they did not know
/ the cause of the chiId's illness, and
| that they were surprised when she
died in commissions. A coroner's in
quest, however, revealed a fractured
skull and an examination Of the sup
posed scorpion proved that it be
| longed to non-pOisonous class.
The scorpion bite story has long
| been favorite one with the orientals
when they have been called upon to
account for the death of a female
child, and in the past it has been re-
1uctantly accepted by the police. In
a majority of cases the suspected par
| ents have been able to produce a ven
omous spider Of some description as
corroborative evidence and the au-
| thOrities have been baked in any
contemplated criminal procedure.
United States Attorney Breckons
has been keeping close watch upon
the vital statistics and he now de-
| now declares that he will put an end
to the killing of girl babies among the
Chinese. To this end he has called
not only the men of his own Office to
the work of careful investigation, but
has invited Chief Detective McDuffe
