Mrs. Frank Foos, Woodside, N.B., Writes: --"I was a groat sufferer with backache for over a year, and could get nothing to relieve me lentil I took two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills and now I do not feel any pain whatever, and can eat and sleep well; something I could not do before. Doan's Kidney Pills are 50 cents per box or 3 boxes for $1.25 at all dealers or mailed direct on receipt of price by The Doan Kid- ney Pill Co., 'Toronto, Ont. cense. There is a 'tax on medicines, and liquors and on Japanese soy, the canoe which the people use with their food. This, was increased at the time of the war. All incomes pay taxes, and these grow with the amount of one's property. There are about 8,000,000 families in Japan, and all are expected to pay a pertain percentage, it they make more than $L 50 a year. These taxes were increased during the war and they still hold. There are of course, taxes on land, which now run from 3 per Dent. upwards to 17 per cent. according to the class of the land. There are ioheritanoe taxes, mining taxes, taxes on stock exchanges and the iseue of bank notes. There are customs duties on every- thing imported, and there is a special tax on travellers, whether they go by steam train, steam train or on' eleotrio care. This tax depends on the mileage running from 5 sen. to 50 sen. acoardiog to dietanoe, for the first-olaaa; from 3 to 25 sen for seoond class and 1 to 4 Ben for the third class. A Ben is one-half cent. It will be seen that the tax is very light on the third class, the longest trip costing two cents, and that it is I envier on the first class, where the tame dlst- anoe is taxed 25c. In addition to all this are the govern- ment monopolies, including toba000, salt and camphor. There is no place where good cigars cost so much and where the home made cigars are poorer. Any kind of tobacco oosta three times as much here as in the United States, an ordinary "two -for" is sold for a dime, while a nickel cigar easily brings TO ADVERTISERS Notice of changes must be left at this office not later than Saturday noon.

ELLIOTT, PAIILISRIIR ANDPROPRIETOT+ THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1909. British Columbia's Race Problem. There are nearly 40,000 Orientals in British Columbia, over 17,000 of these being Chinese, nearly 1G,000 Japanese, and the balance HindOos. As the total population of the Province 18 only a little over 200,000,this means that nearly one-fifth of the whole are of the yellow ranee. It is not surprising that the whites of the Paoific Province view the situation with alarm. That situation is serious enough to demand attention not only on the Pacific) Coast but in all Canada. When we have constantly before our eyes the object lesson precented by the Southern States as to what a race prob- lem really is, we shall be blind indeed if we permit the yellow menace in the West to become as grave as the black menace in the South is now. THE WINGIIAM TIMES, MARCII 25, 1.909 TOWN DIRECTORY. On this solid foundationwe build the Mason and Risch piano. NO house i s stronger than its foundation, nor is a piano. The foundation of a piano is the back frame. This forms a base of opera- tion for all the working parts, and must therefore be'very solid. The back frame of the Mason and Risch piano consists of several hardwood uprights securely braced together. The design is onewhich secures the great- est degree of strength. 25 Ben. Cigarettes areequally high. The to- bacco monopoly brings in about $16,- 000,000 a year to the government and the salt monopoly yields over $7,000,000 On the whole, the nation is taxed just about all it oan stand.

Take your sour stomaoh-or maybe you call it Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gas - {tis or Catarrh of Stomach; doesn't Immigration Facts. It is gratifying to learn from the re- port of the Minister of the Interior that of the 1,166,126 immigrants ar- riving in Canada in the last ten years, 819 213 Dame from the United Kingdom and the United States. Daring the last twelve months 262,469 new settlers (lame in Canada. Of these 58,312 were from the United States, and they brought with them money and effects to the value of about $52,000,000. Last year 30,424 homesteads were entered. Of these 7,417 were taken by Oanadians 7,828 by immigrants from the United States, 4,840 by English, 1,026 by Scotch 339 by Irish, and 510 by Canadians re- turning from the United States. Of the Canadians who tock up homesteads in the Northwest last year 3,696 were from Oataria, and 494 from Quebec. The total area of land sold by the Gov- ernment in tho three Northwest Pro- vinces was 114,712 acres, and the ave- rage price was $10 40 an sore. There are not looking in these figures evi- dencu that the era of free homesteads and cheap land in the Northwest will not last very many years. -_ TAXES ON EVERYTHING. matter -take your stoma right with you to your and ask him to open a 50 Papa's Diapepain and let trouble harmaclat ent case of yon eat one 22•grain Triangale and see if within five minutes there is ft any trace of your stomaoh misery.

The comb of tortoise shell has a yery pale and translucent yellow, the only really valuable kind of shell. "Many people think this pale, un. mottled shell the cheaper kind," the dealer said. "Do you know wby? Be' cause the imitations are all made Like this. "That is one vulgar error about 1. th killed to nget eits r i shellstcasin . That is as absurd an error as it would be to say a sheep was killed to get its wool. "What is done is this: Tlie fisher- men, having caught a tortoi.', tie him and then cover his back with dry grass and leaves. They set re the to this stuff, it burns slowly, and the thirteen plates or: the shell to loosen at the joints. With a knife the, plates are pried off, and afterward the tortoise is set free. The base, or root, of his shell is intact and will grow. again. If tortoises were killed to get their" shell they would long since have become extinct. "No, no.

(Registered is accordance with the Copyright Act.) Think of all the popular habits that tend to evil, and compare them with the evils of the drink habit, and say which habit is the greater ourse to the nation? What is thelaeoination, which draws so many thousands of viotims to the drink habit? If the country towns and pities, were overrun with "serpents" and "adders," which were biting and pausing the death of thousands, what steps would likely be taken to eradicate the plague. Seeing that all practically admit that the evils of the liquor traffic, are more virulent than "serpents" and "adders" could be, how do you explain the apathy of the nation in getting rid of this monster evil? (This question must be answered in writing by members of the club.)

Is it safe or prudent, for people in good health to take intoxicating drink as a beverage? What classes in the community are suffering from the drinking habit, dir- eotly and indirectly? Why do athletes always abstain from drinking when they are in training for a contest? What are the signs by whioh you can nearly always tell a drinking man?

Evarts was sec- retary of state a new elevator man had been employed in the department who did hot know Mr. Evarts by sight. In his car was a conspicuous sign to the effect that by order of the secre- tary of state smoking was prohibited. One day Mr. Evarts boarded the car in company with a famous senator, the latter smoking a cigar. The new man promptly touched the smoker on the elbow and said, pointing at the no- tice, "Can't you read that sign?" Mr. Eyar ?...promptly tore down the of- fending notice and, turning to the ele- vator man, said: "What sign? I don't see any."
