NEW RAILROAD PASSKN'tlKK TKAIN'.S are now running on the most amazing railroad in North America, a railroad built on a bed of per manent ice; ' A thousand miles north of Winnipeg it will carry the wheat and the people of Western Canada to Fort Churchill, the trading post on the western shore of HNidsoii liny which is to become the port of the northernmost and shortest route from the heart of Canada across the Atlantic - , ' ' ;.;-' . :.

Tho indisputable fact is that tho thin soil and its straggly growth of moss and other vegeta tion is merely a layer beneath which lies great impenetrable sheets of ancient blue ice. ''. rpnU most remarkable phase of the achievement is that most I- of the work has been done in winter, with the ther mometer registering -JO to 00 degrees below zero. For the solid iceinust he preserved and to dig and blast away the tough insu lating covering of moss, soil and rock in warm weather would immediately expose the ice to melting. Therefore, the digging and blasting is done in Ihe eoldest, weather. Ditches are dug lo drain still frozen lakes and a tem porary track is laid along the solidly frozen ground. At, the first breath of spring when the gravel pits begin lo llmw there is another frenzy of activity 'to bring up this material. Six solid feet of it arc hurled into the blasted trench to ballast the rails and to serve as it permanent insulating material for the iee bed. On (his the rails are finally laid. ' , ...

A LIFE SAVING POSTURE A little clinicnl twist of Hie wrist or bedside trick that very few'of our modern overeducated doctors know is the value of posture in tlic relief o f many cases of chronic bronchitis, e m physema, bronchi ectasis and other conditions in which couch and expectoration are troublesome. .Many of tho pa tients are getting nlong In year 8 and hence dliiicu'.i to icuch new tricks, but a good doctor should not hesitate to prescribe whatever ho thinks the patient should have, even unto standing grandma on her cur. The trick Is this: Every morning and every night tho pa tient should stand on his head for a while., or If too feeble or digni fied to attempt thai, then just lean out of bed and rest the hands on the flour: This posture should be retained for at least five minutes. Often it enahlcB the patient to clear a considerable amount of expecto ration from the chest, with a few coughing spells. After that the patient may get up or he lifted hack Into bed. The main trouble with a remedy like this is thaL.lt is so simple that the average chronic invalid will not take it hair as seriously as lie does the latest' nostrum from tile Hokum labora tories, Ltd. In epidemics of poliomyelitis (in fantile paralysis) there are gener ally n few cases of what doctors ca" the "''"' We in which the paralysis involves the muscles of hr.hi.m ...ml Ihe n,ele f ,wl. 'owing. Though these cases are uinii esnuiK ciiuiiMI, llieie IB ilHiiany a good chunco that the'' paralysis will clear up In a week or two weeks II tho patient does not suffo cate or drown in his own secre tions beforo tha acute stago of Ill ness is over. Dr. Jay I. Duriind of Seattle be lieves drowning is the cause of ileal It in many such cases, and re ports two cases in which, appar ently, life was saved by simply turning the paitlcut over Into tho prone position (belly down) and tying the Toet to the footi.of the bed and elevating the foot of the hod. This scorned to bring much relief in one ciibo even when artl clul respiration applied by two phy sicians had railed. Although Dr. Diirniid does not say so. It would see in that the nitiflcinl respiration the two physlt'l lis were living must have heen by Some1' quaint .method tor ns every Boy Scout knows, yon must put tha object In tho prone position before beghV nliiK artificial rosplratioir if yon want: to giro tho subject the beit ehnnco. - ' '' 'li; I commend Dr. niiiiraud's sugges' tion to all Invalids, particularly d'oeble Invalids, wlio sufrer rrom cough, dirricult breathing; short ness of breath and Innhlllly to ex pectoiate. At least suchf Invalid may assume tlte promt posture part or Hie time without pillow, turning tho head toward one side. Then while they are In this posture nny attendant may raise the root or the bod on blocks a foot or toss in height; nut oven ir the patient lies on n horizontal piano, tho prone posture, wllh nothing under the bond, fnvers the clearing of nny material from I he breathing pas sages. Or course if you lirt the sub ject's head even an Inch or two. you ilerent tho purposa of this pos ture. That's something very few Iloy Seoul 8 know, hecauso they aro al most universally taught to nut something under Ihe subject's fore head when applying nrlttlclal res plrutlnn by tho prone-pressure method.

Peggy could hardly believe that the buildings were real. They al most seemed to her to be like a kind of fairyland, with towers reaching way up Into the clouds. The traffic In tho air was very heavy, and the funniest thing was that people blew horns to sho v that they were passing others, Just as In the old days pcoplo blew auto mobile horns. "What I wanted you to hear par ticularly was the horn on this plane." the IJttlc Black Clock said, and they listened while the pilot from lime to time blew his horn. "It sounds like the. wind whis tling." John said. "Good guess," said the Little niack Clock. "This horn is call-M the 'wind whistle horn.' It makes a sound very much like the wind whistling, nnd can bo heard very well. Ilcsldcs, it has a deep blow ing noise like a horn, too, so it's the ideal kind to have on a plane."
