COmDany's Rule One
Of Absolute PorDer

Necessity forced the Hudson's Bay
company, a trading corporation en-
gagged in collecting furs to become a
government that ruled from the Great
lakes to the Arctic circle. How abb
solute this power might be, and In
some cases was, is illustrated by the
strange history Of Donald Smith, aft
erward Lord Strathcona, whose name
b honored in every part OF the Do
minion Of Canada. The history, which
contains all the elements Of romance
or a melodrama, Is q matter Of rec
ord In the company.
Almost seventy years ago young
Scotsman came from his native land
to take place In the Hudson's Bay
company. He served 1t with scrupu-
Ious fidelity, and had begun to feel
at home In the place where he was
stationed.
One day an Indian runner came to
him with an order to, leave his post
In one hour and betake himself to
Labrador. The order did not permit
him to wait to pack his clothing,
which, he was informed, would be
sent after him.
Although the order exiled him to an
American Siberia, and was unaccom-
panied by any word Of explanation, he
obeyed it without a word OF re
m0nstrance. Within the hour he was
on his way to the distant and in
hOspitable post He was kept there
% years. On the death of the gov
ernOr Of the company, who had sent
him into exile, he was recalled.
As during this long, trying time he
had been a wise, faithful servant Of
the company. he was now promoted
from position to position. until finally
he became Its governor. The exile
was a harsh measure and the reason
Of it mystery. but an old settler put
1t In another light. The company
governed by military discipline, and or
dered those subordinates to perilous
service whom it could rely on to en-
dure privation and cope with danger
In the spirit OF gallant soldier.

And that night he packed his bag
and left word with his valet that he
would be alone at bis old home in

turn up.
He sank back in the comfortable
cushions OF his coach, happy with the
prospects Of spending three whole days
alone in the little old red house.

later on. Many childhood Ills are
traceable directly to malnutrition.
High school students especially
need variety In foods, for at this
age their growth Is rapid. The pro-
tefn or building food should be
abundant for high school boys and
girls When they buy their luncheons,
high school pupils are apt to display
q preference for chocolate sodas
cream puffs and candy. An appetizing
luncheon put up at home Is much
to be preferred to the sort the boy or
girl might obtain at the corner store
near the school.
Meat is all right for the school
luncheon but 1t should be put up in
tempting form. If sliced thin it Is
more appetizing In sandwiches than
If in thick pieces. Beverages or soup
may be carried in thermos bottles
but the bottles must be carefully
washed and aired daily after using.
Milk is recommended for an impor-
tant place in the boys or girls diet be-
cause of it's proteins, minerals, phos-
phorus and calcium, necessary for the
development Of the body and In the

the building OF bone and teeth. Evap-
Grated milk has come into favor as a
