AUTUMN
BY d. C. PEATTIE.

BY all accounts this is bad duck
year. Bad for the Potomac duck hunt
ers. Bad for ducks, and, suppose, for
all the water fowl except those that
breed on salt marshes.
If YOU have ever tried to raise ducks
you know that there is no use count
ing your ducks even after the chicks
have Matched. The mortality among
the soft gold gabblerS is frightful. They
die of cold; they die of heat; they die
of terriers and cats and hawks and
weasels and. perhaps. sometimes of
snakes, turtles and other reptiles.
have never seen any drown. but I have
seen a proud mother duck lead her
web-footed toddlers to the water, only
to have them terrified of small ponG.
Such is the death rate among ducks
under the protected conditions of do
nestle life. 1t is quite erroneous to
suppose that animals or humans multi
ply faster or are less likely to die young
in the wild than in civilization. Chill
dren and baby animals die far more
often under savage conditions. We
merely see little of these tragedies and
parents human and animal, have less
time to grieve where Nature holds full
sway.
Imagine what happens to the water
breeding grounds of the Dakotas and
wisconsin of Manitoba and SaSkatch-
evan, have had another terrible drought
wear. Early reports indicate terrific
losses from drought among all the
ducks. It is safe to predict a scarcity
of hell-divers. terms, Sora, dowitchers,
canbasbacks. Canada geese, pintails,
mallard, green winged teal, blue-winged
teal, and, I suppose, the herons and
bitterns. though no sportsman cares
about them, and the red-winged black
birds and other rice-feederS, though
they are not much shot except upon the
coastal plain.
am grieving a great deal less about
the sportsmen who miss their sport
than about the birds that. having died
a horrible death by thirst, will never
wing through our Autumn skies, above
the sedges and the rushes where the
fowler lies in wait for them. The
water birds are seldom beautiful sing
ers or friendly neighbors of human
habitation and mostrof them are more
ODD than beautiful or even ridiculous
on their stilt-like legs. But to me they
are the most appealing Of ali birds-the,
most thoroughly wild and glamorouS
and gamey.

cooking or baking temperatures. Its lack
causes loss Of appetite and energy, loss
of weight, constipation and nervous dis
orders.
Vitamin C is known as the anti
scorbutic vitamin, and is found in
orange, lemon and tomato juices. straw
berries. bananas and other leafy green
vegetables. AS it is easily destroyed by
heating or standing in air. its efficacy
Is impaired by home cooking
Vitamin D is known as the sunshine
vitamin because its main source Is ex-
posure to the rays of the sun. The old
fashioned panacea of "a good dose of
cod liver OIL is the only other important
source furnished by nature. There IS
also small amount in yolks of eggs
and a small amount in whole milk I'M
der certain pasture conditions, but the
recently improved bread is the only food
source which supplies an adequate
amount. This vitamin' is now recog-
niZed as preventive of ricketts, in chill
dren and a general health force for
adults
Vitamin E is found in wheat germ,
several vegetable oils, milk and green
vegetables Experiments within the
past decade have demonstrated that a
certain type of sterility in certain ami
mails is shown to be dietary deficiency
disease which can be cured or prevented
by change in the diet to include this
food factor.
Vitamin G, which Is closely allied to
vitamin B. Is also found in wheat germ
and in yeast in about the same ratio
as B. 1t is fairly well distributed. too
in milk and vegetables. Lack of this
vitamin causes the disease 'pellagara,'
gastric disturbances, skin erythema and
nervous arrangement, and a certain
form of melancholia.

In interior decoration the home
maker should study the things she has
and know what is the best in her fur
niture, her silver, china and ornaments,
and bring her other furnishings up to
them. Recently I was in one of the
grand old houses of the early settler
days on Cape Cod. There are beautiful
panelings, interesting old f1replaces,
quaint windows in which the lower
sash is three panes high, and the upper
one but two. and doors and doorways
are in fine old style.
Into these rooms has been put such
motley of old furnishings. some
choice. some indifferent. and some bad,
that the mind is bewildered and vexed
There are exquisite pieces such as a
swan sofa of the rarest type, Shera-
ton sideboard and dining table and a
pineapple four poster bedstead. There
is a magnificent carved Chinese desk
and chair and a handsomely painted
Chinese chair. Everything is a tumble
That the homemaker has taste is evil

discrimination in the practice of in
terror decoration. Many of her things
should have been discarded, and the
others lived up to. All the things re-
uuired sorting and those which belong
together should have formed the nu-
cleus for different rooms. Her fur

The annual meeting of the Indian Mines Corporation Ltd. was held in Prince Rupert on June 4 when the accounts for the year were presented. The directors had little to report to the shareholders in their statement, other than, as pre- viously stated, that "the future depends very largely upon whether the Consolidated makes a success of the Big Missouri. A trial mill has been built upon that property and we should know in the course of the present year whether it will prove successful. If it does, your directors feel cer- tain that an arrangement can be made with the Consolidat- ed for treating the Indian ores. Mining and Industrial Record.

Hyder Drug Company
 Creates Unique Souvenir

Hyder Drug Company
 Creates Unique Souvenir
 A novel and interesting souvenir Of the Hyder-Stewart district in the shape of a miniature replica of the international boundary monument on Eagle Point has been placed on sale by the Hyder Drug Company.
 The device is fashioned of metal and may be used either as an orna- ment or a paper weight. It is in every respect. except size and material. an exact duplication of the boundary monument. The square base bearing the comical bronze shaft is made of white metal resembling frosted silver. while the monument itself Is of polished copper. A vertical line on one side of the base divides it into two areas, one of which is inscribed Alaska" the other Canada" One side of the copper shaft is inscribed "United States" while the base be- low bears the inscription. "Internat- ional Boundary Monument Hyder, Alaska. The opposite side of the shaft bears the word Canada, while the base below is inscribed international Boundary Monument, Stewart, B. C."
 The idea of creating the souvenir was evolved by MT. Oren F. Hill, proprietor of the company. and was executed by an outside firm dealing in art metal work. The device is the most unique local souvenir that has so far appeared and should be de cidedly attractive to those who seek a memento of the district.
