Solved The Rubber Riddle Rubbers and. Overshoes Are Cheap as Ever Today, While Other Necessities. Particularly Shoes, Have Nearly Doubled In Price. Where Germany's Vaunted ChemisEs Fail British Empire Builders Succeed Rubber has been one of the moat insistent and intensely interesting problems of the twentieth century and its solution is proving of vital importance to the Empire in this great war. Until 1910 the world depended for its crude rubber on the forests of South and Central America and Africa.

The supply increased slowly, if at all, while consumption, since the advent of the motor car, has grown enormously. From an average of $1.00 a pound in 1908, the price jumped to $3.00 in 1910. Manufactures of rubber kept pace no doubt you remember what rubbers cost for a year or twoand the situation looked alarming. The search for synthetic rubber was redoubled in vigor. German chemists had been working on it, and the world seemed to expect them to come through with some ingenious process for manufacturing rubber from its known ingredients, on a commercial scale and at a low cost.

But the world still waits and so does the Kaiser, judging from his indignation over Britain's refusal to let him import rubber by registered mail. Relief from a rubber famine came instead from the far sighted development policy of Britain's Empire builders, who for years, in spite of general ridicule, had been encouraging the growth of plantation rubber on a large scale in Ceylon, Sumatra, Java and the Malay States. Money was advanced to planters to carry them through the seven year period before the trees started to produce, and hundreds of thousands of acres were planted. By 1910, when the pinch came, British plantations produced 8,200 tons 11 of the world's output. The next year saw 14,000 tons of plantation rubber nearly 20.

In 1912 it had grown to 29 in 1913 to 44 in 191 to 59 last year to 68, or 107,867 tons. This year't production is estimated at 150,000 tons, or 75 of the world's supply. With three quarters of the rubber production thus controlled by Great Britain, and the seas in the grip of her mighty fleet, the Allies are assured of an abundant supply for war purposes, while the Teutons' troubles from lack of it are growing daily more serious. Having a practical monopoly of the supply, and Hie power to impose such prices as she chose, Great Britain has made it, except to her enemies, a benevolent monopoly, and has made the price of crude rubber lower than it was before the war. To Canadians this is doubly important, because the climate makes rubbers and overshoes a necessity.

Now, when shoe prices are soaring, while rubbers are as cheap as ever, it is clearly economy to protect expensive shoes to the limit by systematically wearing rubbers at every sign of bad weather. Even with heavy soled shoes this pays, for shoes so protected will wear far longer, saving the cost of the rubbers several times over. If different styles of shoes are worn it is easy and advisable to have rubbers to fit each pair. They look better, feel better, and wear longer. Besides the big money saving, there is the valuable protection to health.

Wet feet and colds go hand in hand, with a ghastly train of ills easily avoided by wearing rubbers. Then there is the patriotic side. Vast quantities of leather are absolutely necessary for the army, and the scarcity is growing. Every pair of shoes we save helps to ease the situation, and so serves the Empire to which we owe this welcome cheapness tf rubbers. Save your shoes and Serve the Empire The names of 21 British Columbia soldiers are to be found In the latest set of offlrlal casualty usis Ottawa.

Why is man and woman half the time feeling nervous, despondent, worried; some days headache, dull and unstrung: some days really incapacitated. If we all would practice inslde bathlng, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thou sads of half sick, anaemic looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we would see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy cheeked people everywhere. The reason is that the human system does not rid itself euch day of all the waste which it accumulates finder our present mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out.

else it ferments and forms ptomaine like poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary as It Is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will burn bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous day's accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are advised to drink each morning before breakfast a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate 1n it, as a harmless means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the enire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attucks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleepless nights have become real cranks about the morning Inside bath. A Ruarter pound limestone phosphate will not cost much ut the drug Btore, out is sufficient to demonstrato to inyone its cleansing, sweetening and freshening effect upon the system.
