was often to be seen doing heavy
work which would have proved hard
for zone many years his junior.
Within little more than a year he
has carried bag of sugar weighing
100 pounds across the street on his
shoulder and has also carried five
SALON can of kerosene up one of the
steep hills on Gage street.
He has suffered this winter from
severe cold which at this time
seems to be getting better and with
in few days has carried a heavy
armful of wood up two flights of
stairs. Having been a worker all
his life he can not be prevailed upon
to rest now but persists in working
about the store and doing odd jobs
about the house.
Oldest Son Now IS Years Old
AS has already been stated he was
born in Fredericton, N. B. When he
was five years of age his parents
moved to Bridgton, Me. At the age
of % years Mr.. Cameron married
and four children resulted from this
union. All of these four children
are now living, the oldest, James D.
Cameron, Jr., of Yermo, California,
now being 76 years old. The others
are, A. M. Cameron of South Port
land 60 years old, V. E. Cameron of
this city with whom he resides, Sc
years old and Mrs. Tressa Taylor
Shea of Auburn. SIS years old. Mrs.
Cameron died in 1895 and in 1905
Mr.. Cameron again married. His
second wife now lives with him at
the home Of his son, V. E. Cameron.
He also has 10 grand children, 10
at-grandchildren and one great
great grandchild.
Few people observing him as he
works about the store and house on
Gage street would believe that Mr..
Cameron has passed his Tooth mile
stone and that he has but three
months to wait to make it 1O1. He
steps around with more than a
trace of that springiness which
must have characterized his stride
as a young man and proves that he
is without doubt 100 years

the greatest number of vitamins
have been retained, since vitamins
are to the body what the spark
plug is to the engine. They ignite
and turn into energy the other ele-
ments.
Vitamins are most largely found
in vegetables, fruits, milk and eggs.
The. first three are to be had in
canned form, and in that form are
best preserved. Tomatoes, for
instance, are as rich in vitamins as
is butter fat. And in all green
plant tissues such as spinach, chard
and cabbage, corn, peas, and beans,
carrots, sweet potatoes and par
ships, they are in their native ele-
ment so to speak. All these
things should have a place. there
fore, on the fve-foot shelf, since
they are now canned
Proteins-the builders and repair
ers of tissue--are found in meats,
eggs, cheese, milk, cereals, peas,
beans and lentils. Meats are now
canned in a wide variety, both as
to kind and form of preparation.
All sorts of meat combinations may
be served out of can, as well as
the plain roast beef and beefsteak
and onions. Even cheese is now
canned, and in this form is always
moist and ready for the table. For
cooking or grating purposes bulk
cheese is better, because it needs
to be dry for these things.
Carbohydrates supply heat and
energy and are found in starchy
foods such as sugar. -four, syrups
and other sweets. The ingredients
for many delicious desserts and
drinks are in canned form, and
a good supply of these should al
ways be kept on hand. Among
them are various fruits, chocolate
matted milk, pineapple. cocoanut
and the like. The fruits and vege-
tables also contain minerals. Fat
is to be found in the canned meat,
chicken and fish products, as we'll
as in cooking oils. On the pantry
shelf depends the family health.

Old Weather "Saws" Based on Good
Sense

Admiral Fitzroy. who invented the
barometer and commanded the brig
Beagle on its expedition to the
American coast in 1881. declares that
most of the old saws" regarding
weather are reliable and based on
commonsense investigation. AS a
weather expert he commended an old
saying to the effect that the glow of
dawn high in the sky denotes wind,
and low dawn fair weather. He
babe us believe that soft looking,
delicate clouds mean wind fair
weather, and hard, ragged ones wind.
Mist on a hilltop means rain and
wind if it stays long or comes down
fine weather If it rises and dis
perses. Rain is due when distant OBJ
Jects look near as on what is called
a good hearing day. And rain is
foretold by pigs carrying straws to
sites. The pig as a prophet ap-
pears in an old riddle: Question:
Why is storme to followe presently
when a comapny of hogges runne
crying home? Answer: A hog is
most dull and of a melancholy ma
ture: and so by reason doth foretell
the rainc that cometh. In time of
raine, most cattell doe pricke up
their ears; as for example an asse
will, when he perceiveth a sterme
of raine or hail doth follow.

Story of EIgin

We might use the glamorous words
of childhood's fairy tales, Long ago
and far away" to tell the tale of
Elgin cathedral, whose seven hun
dredth birthday was celebrated last
August 5 and 6. So long ago as the
twilight time of the early Middle
ages. so far away as Rome, must we
go for the beginnings of the story
of this hoary old pile, whose influ-
ence has been casting it's spell upon
the lives of the dwellers in the pro-
vince of Moray from that far-off
time to the present. There is an old
tradition that the Culdees founded
the church to begin with, just as
they did that Of Birnie. In any case,
the site was already hallowed by
many sacred associations, when Bis
hop Andrew Moray, scion of the
powerful house of De Moravia, moved
the Cathedral of Spynie to the
Church of Holy Trinity in Elgin.

IN realms domestic, the "hve-foot
! bookshelf" has a rival, nova
days, in the five-foot shelf of canned
foods. For the modern housewife
is coming to realize that much of
the old-time household drudgery
. can and should be sirnplihed and
systematized, so as to give her
more time to enjoy her family and
more strength to expend upon
things intellectual and artistic.
So the handy shelf of ready-to-
serve foods is rapidly finding a
place in every well-kept home.
When the housewife realizes that
she may have a little corner gro
Gerry" of her own, right in hef
kitchen, she will take pride and
pleasure in keeping her canned
food shelf we'll stocked with wide
variety, so that she may be ready
to meet any emergency in the way
of unexpected guests, hurry-up
meal, etcetera.
For there is scarcely anything,
now, that does not come in ready
to-serve form. From soup to des-
sert, an elaborate course dinner
may be served, literally, "out of a
can" Moreover, the fve-foot shelf
of canned foods is a sure guarantee
that the family will get absolutely
sanitary and nutritious food. There
is nothing haphazard about COM
mercial canning, today. The laws
of sanitation are strictly enforced
throughout the entire process of
handling and canning the various
foods. And science and invention
have cooperated to make possible
perfect sterilization that destroys all
harmful organisms, and the preser-
walton of vitamins through the pre-
vention of oxidation.
In stocking her canned food shelf,
the housewife must consider the
various needs of the human system,
so that she can give her family
well-balanced meals, serving them
food that contains ali the essentials
-proteins, carbohydrates, fats, min
eraf salts and water. In addition,
che must give them food in which
