FIND NEW SOURCE OF SUGAR
Scientists Have Learned From indians
That II Can Be Produced From the
Douglas Fir.

An Indian secret closely guarded for
generations by the red man has been
brought to light by John Davidson,
botanist Of the University of British
Columbia, at Vancouver, and James
Teit. who has spent most Of his life
I'm the interior of the Canadian prov
ince and has an intimate knowledge
of the life and habits Of the natives.
The secret is that the Douglas fir
q famous tree of great size-produces
sugar that is extremely sweet and is
valued at $G6 a pound.
The announcement is made by the
American Forestry association,
through an article written by Francis
Dickie and published in the American
Forestry Magazine. The area in which
this sugar is found in abundance is
between the fiftIeth and fifty-first par
allels and between 121 and 122 de-
grees of longitude. These areas take
i'm the Thompson river valley, west of
the mouth of Nicola river, the district
near the junction of the Fraser and
Thompson rivers at LyttOn and a

ELDERLY MAN GOOD WALKER
BROOKLYN Citizen, Fond of Pedestrian

Carrot Brewer of this city. walked
1000 miles when he was ninety years
old. He is now ninety-seven years ola

given UP walking as a regular occu-
nation. But for about 10 years before
that he walked persistently, in bad
weather and good, on week days and
holidays. And this at time when
he had long passed beyond the three
score and ten years supposed to DC
mans allotted span Of life.
He used 10 walk with a pedometer
Mt HIS belt as his only companion.
From his former home on Willough-
hv avenue. he would walk out 70 the
Williamsburg bridge and across 20
Manhattan. This not appearing long
enough for n grownup man, he often
would walk back TO the Brooklyn end
of the bridge and then cross and re-
cross the bridge two or three times
before starting home. in his diary he
kept n record of the distances COW
cred on these expeditions. They va
rled from month to month; but seven
years ago. when he had reached the
age of ninety, his walks still averaged
six miles a day. Being now close TO
the century mark. he has discontinued
walking out of doors. "a friend hor-
rowed by pedometer," he explained
with laugh.-Brooklyn Eagle.

him from following the particu-
lar vocation in which he was en-
gagged at the time he went into
the army, according to ! w. L.y-
sons, a representative of the

is now investigating charges

burden of helping men the board
had failed to put in training. In
