FOR BENEFIT Of
EX-sERv|CE MEN
MOUNTAIN CAMP FOR TUBER-
CULAR VETERANS OF
WAR.

New York, Jan. 20.-Ranging the
beautiful slopes of the New York
state forest preserve in the Adiron-
dacks, thousands of tubercular ex-
soldiers will be restored to health by
the American Legion, whose plan for
a mammoth mountain camp lis re-
ceiving generous support. With an
option on the $125,000 estate of the
late William Barbour, thirty miles
from Saranac Lake, the Legion's S
state organization, under William F.
Deegan, is on still-hunt for the
money necessary to establish the
camp and open its doors to the I0,-
600 service men who cannot now find
bed in a hospital.
To bunk in log lean-tos, free
from "cooties," on the edge of the
forest streams, to hunt rabbits, duck
grouse, and pheasants during the OPP
en- season, to have free use of the
motor boats and bowling alleys at
Barbour camp-that will be the
peacetime program for the disabled
doughboys. With 10000 acres of
virgin country at their disposal and
the tonic air of the mountains to
breath, the tubercular patients will
find life little short of paradise. The
estate is in perfect order; barns are
overflowing with grain. herd of
cows yields plentiful milk, the
buildings are in good repair and per-
mission has been granted by the
state to use the preserve as hunt
ing range, with the right to erect
lean-tos.
Each Legion post in the state has
been given the chance to put up its
own lean-to. men of that post to be
given precedence in occupancy. Each
shelter is to cost $3.50 and to house
eight men. From the time a man
enters the camp, clothing end food
will be provided, and physicians who
are themselves ex-service men, will
be always in attendance. Those
who are not well enough to sleep on
the preserve will be housed in the
main buildings at Tupper lake.

QUEBEC RUM PROFITS
&,000,0OO IN YEAR
PREMIER ESTIMATES REVENUE
WILL PAY OI1 PUBLIC DEBT
IN TWO DECADES.

Quebec, Jan. 20.-Profits from
liquor sales in the province of Que
bee will pay off the public debt in 20
years, maintain roads and provide
funds for education, according to a
report prepared by Premier Tascher-
eau for submission to the legislature
in its present session.
Basing his finding on the business
done since May, 1921, when the liq-
uor trade became a government mon
opoly, the premier estimates that the
yearly profit would be S4,OOO,O0O.
Besides $28,000,000 loaned muni-
cipalities for road building and pro-
vided for by sinking fund, Quebecs
debt is $23, 100000. BY setting apart
1000, 900 a year from liquor prof
its. Premier Taschereau maintained
the province would be able to retire
its outstanding loans in 20 years and
still have $3,000,p00 a year left for
other purposes. This balance. he
would divided between roads and
education--S1, 900, 900 for the roads
and s2,000,000 for the schools.
The government sold $9,325,727
worth of liquor from May / to Dec.
81, 1921. In May, the first month OF
government control, the govern
ment took in $280,173. In Decem-
Der, the last month covered by the
report, this had grown to $2,470,-
295.
Much of the liquor" he explain
ed, was sold to outsiders, hundreds
of thousands of visitors coming into
the province to enjoy a little liberty
1t has been estimated that 81 pei
cent of the liquor sold in the city OF
Monreal was purchased by people
from other parts of the country"
From the moral, as well as finan.
cial standpoint, Quebec liquor laws
have proved successful. Mr.. Tascher'
eau claims.

celebrating mass. The ceremony it
self was simple and affecting. AS
soon as the Pope's private confessor
had finished confessing him, the
doors of the sick room were thrown
open and prelates and relatives as
sembled in the ante-chamber entered
Practically the entire vatican stafi
gathered at st. Peters and marched
slowly through the halls past the
chamber chanting the psalms OF the
dying. The pope was fully con-
scious. Owing to his weakened con
dition only small particle of holy
water was placed on his tongue
The profession of aith and prayers
were read.
