The Weather is now bright and 1m; Trains from the west and north have been delayed some hours. ' Reports show that the snowfall extended over the whole of southern Alberta, and as far north as Red Deer. The fall is welcomed by farmers and business men alike, as they say it will sti- mulate trade by placing more money in circulation, as it will permit the farmers who have been devoting all their attention to grain-shipping to get their hay to market. In his great speech at Aberdeen Lloyd George said that the care of the aged. the sick, and the infirm by the State added a new dignity and glory to the British Empire. ROBBED WOMAN OF WHISKEY. DEATH OF JAMES R. KEENE. HEAVY SNOWFALL IN WEST. 50,000 IM MIGRANTS. LLOYD Gh‘uwuh‘. A despatch from New York says: ‘Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, who 'reoeived the Nobel Prize for mediâ€" cine in 1912, is the first V announce a. great scientific discovery in 1913. In the current issue of the Journal of Experimental Medicine, the ofli- cial organ of the Rockefeller Instiâ€" tute, he predicts, as the result of a series of experiments which have been in progress since 1907, the posâ€" sibility of healing a. cutaneous wound in less than a day, and the repair of a. broken leg in four days. Although Dr. Carrel does not men- tion it in his preliminary report, the assertion is also made that the reparative process may become ap- plicable not only in cases where the tissues have been divided, as in knife wounds, but in cases where large areas of tissue have been de~ strayed in various parts‘of the body by disease. Dr. Carrel's latest discovery is the result of speculation as to the manner in which cells multiply and that effect the growth of tissues. A despatch from \ Ottawa. says: The newest thing in trade troubles is the conduct of the egg, more especially the United States egg, product of the prolific American hen. It is coming into Canada. Representations made to the Govâ€" ernment indicate that the advent of the United States egg under ex- isting circumstances is vieWed with alarm by Canadian egg interests. A Further Operation Decided 01! By the Doctors. A despatch from Delhi, India, save: The Viceroy of India, Lord Hardinge, is not recovering as quickly as expected from the wounds he received on December 23. when 9311 Indian fanatic threw a bomb at him during his official entry to the new Imperial capital. The doctors in attendance declare that, he is suffering considerable pain and remains in a. feverish con- dition. A further operation, it is said, will possibly be necessary in order toeremove some fragments of the bomb which remain embedded in the flesh of his shoulder.

WOUND HEALED IN A DAY Dr. Alexis Carrel, of the Rockefel‘er Institute, Annofinces a Great Scientific Discovery The egg trade across the border appears to be in a. somewhat, disar- ganized condition. seemingly due to the efforts of housekeepers’ leagues in making war on high prices., The situation is abnormal. Eggs are said to be selling in sev- eral cities close to the border at) prices far below what it cost to buy and store them. Egg men on Switch Look Broken and Switch Thrown open. A despatch from Charlottetown, P. E. ‘I., says: A deliberate attempt was made to wreck the train which left Charlottetown for Summer-side Wednesday morning at 6 o’clock The switch look at a siding near the oil tanks, about a quarter of a mile from the station, was broken, and the switches were thrown wide open.

The refinery at Petrolea has been paying over $2 a barrel.

LORD HARD IN GE’S WOUND S. ANOTHER BOOST IN 01L. The suggestion has been made that. the dumping duty in the Cana- dian tariff be applied to the Ameri- can egg, or that the Canadian and American egg tariffs be temporar- ily equalized, the Canadfan duty |being two cents lower. It dues not? appear that the importation of the cheaper eggs could be discouraged even if such a course were thought desirable.

The results were wonderful, almost miraculous. They bear out the scientist’s statement that “if the rate of the reparation of tissue: were activated ten times on1y, a cutaneous wound would heal in 1059 than twenty-four hours, and a [mo- ture of the legwould be cured in {our dun.” If it were possible, he argued, to beâ€" come posse-ss;d of this knowledge it ought to be possible also to pro- mote this proliteration of cells, and the consequent growth of connec- tive tissue by artificial means.
