Mont somery for a biography of the chief factor of the Hudson's Bay company in the Columbia basin territory. There is al most a poetic justice in such authorship; for Montgomery is the great grandson of Methodist missionaries,- Dr. William IT. Willson and Chloe A. (Clark) Willson: It was the land- greedy missionaries (though: not the Willsons) whogave Dr. Mclaughlin his great anguish in his latter days and helped to break his fine, proud spirit We see something of the working of the law of compensation for this scion of the mis sionaries to write sympathetically and admiringly of the man universally regarded as the Father of Oregon. The book is a venr late publication of The Macmillan Comoanv. Mixed blood raced, and at times raged, in the veins of John McLoughlin. Hisfather was an immigrant from Ire land who; settled at Riviere du Loup, on the St. Lawrence river 120 miles below Quebec. His mother was a daughter of Malcom Fraser, a Scot who had seen service in the British army, had settled in Canada after taking part in the siege of Quebec, and become an influential signeur of Murray Bay. He is described as a man ofparts, equally at home in four languages fTench, Gaelic, English and Latin. Fraser had married a French Canadian woman, and it was their eldest child, Angehque, who became the wile of John McLoughlin, sr., and mother of. the John of history. French blood and Irish and Scottish contributed the racial heredity of young John. His religion was also mixed. Baptized a Roman Cath olic, he grew up m the Church of England through his grand father Fraser, at whose home he passed much of his boyhood. Other divergent influences affected his choice of a career. Un the Fraser side one uncle was a doctor; another a fur trader in the service of the recently formed North West com pany, competitor to Hudson's Bay. Young John studied med icine in Montreal ; but the pull of the fur trade gripped him mri mm m fW J a Jtr - mm -4 i X vf 12- 969 Bits for Breakfast By R. J. HENDRICKS some way to avoid tautology.

United States senator from New York i Former Commlttioner of Bealth, Hew York City i RECENTLY 1 DINED with a medical man from Ens-land. During the course of our conversation he re ferred to th splendid physique ef most Americans, but wondered why so many ul tlmately suc cumb to high blood pressure, heart disease and other disturb ances of the blood system. It Is a fact that high blood pressure Is all too common In this country. 'High blood pres sure and the things that pro duce It are a menace to health and long life. It i the evil result of faulty eat ing habits, lack of relaxation and rest, and living under "high pres sure". If we are to avoid this trouble we must cultivate the habit of mod erate living and learn how to relax both physically and mentally. Practice Moderation ; I am sure you will agree with me when I say too many persons are careless about health habits. As a group, Americans are prone to ex cessive and hurried eating. Irregular eating hours, and Inadequate hours of rest. In order to reduce to the utmost the stress and strain of mod era life, a is essential to hare rea sonable rest, periods and long hours of sleep at night ; ! We are all more or less Interested tn sports and athletics. But It Is Im portant to realize that such activities are of value if taken always In a spirit of fun and play. When in dulged In perpetually as strenuous, bitter contests, harm may1 follow. Like other habits and activities, sports should be practiced in mod eration; While these are a few of the causes which encourage high blood pres sure, such factors as heredity, over weight faulty eating, constitutional disorders and Infections must not be "Art Ton satisfied sawt" aha asked.
