ROOT AND FODDER CROPS.
The Census Offloe given out a
statement on the root, seed and fodder
crops of Canada for the month of
October, together with their values as
reported by the regular oorrespondents.
Tho yield of potatoes is 99,087,000
bushels, which is 22,697,000 bushels
more than last year. Turnips are re-
ported at 107,724 000 bushels, being 5,-
470,000 bushels more than last year.
The hay and clever orop is 427.000 tons
more than last year, its total yield being
11,87 7 ,000 tons. Fodder ooru shows a
decrease of 149,000 tone, the crop being
2,780,000 tons.
The average oondltion of potatoes
over Canada is 93 98 per cent, of turnips
and other roots 91 64 per Dent, of hay
and clover 88 GS per cent and of fodder
Dorn 90.68 per cent.
The total valve of the four orops is
$202 473,700, as againet $186,595,000 last
year. Prince Edward Island is credited
with $5,748,500, or 2 83 per cent of the
total; Nova Sootia with $18,741 300, or
9.25 per oent; New Bronswiok with
$13407,900, or 6 61 per cent; Quebec
with $59,952,000, or 29.69 per Dent; On-
tario with $97,475,000, or 48.15 per cent;
Manitoba with $2,886,500 or 142 per
cent; Saskatchewan with $1,896 500 or
0 93 per Dent and Alberta with $2,276.-
000 or 1 12 per Dent. The value of hay
and clover alone is $132,287,000, being
$10,403,000 more than last year.
The potato rot has done much harm
in the Maritime provinces as a oon-
sequenoe of the heavy fall rains; but to
Quebec and Ontario the yield and
quality rank high. Good reports are
also made for the Northwest provinces,
but considerable damage has been done
there in places by early frost in
September.
In British Columbia all the crops are
reported as excellent in quality and
yield, but no areas have been procured
for that province.
The full report on the root and fodder
crops will be printed in the Census and
Statistics Monthly.
Two bye -elections for the House of
Commons were held last week. On
Wednesday in West Middlesex, Duncan
0. Rose, Liberal, was elected over Mr.
MoLauchlin, O,neervative, by a major-
, ity of 155, and on. Thursday in North
Essex, Oliver J. Wilcox, Conservative,
was elected over W. J. McKee, Liberal,
by a mejority of 75.
John Tolmie, M. P., the ' Liberal
veteran for North Brace, presided over',
the first Liberal caucus of the session
held Tuesday morning. It lasted less
than an hour, and the prooeediugs were
principally confined to speeches by Sir
Wilfrid Lenrier, Sir Richard Cart-
wright, and Hon. W. S. Fielding.
There was no discussion of the naval
queation, as the Liberal members are
confident that when the Government's
proposals are brought down they will
be satisfactory to the party. Sir Wil-
frid urged the members to give a close
attention to their Parliamentary duties,
so that the business of the session would
be expedited.
Dr, Goldwin Smith, who for years has
been a.ottvely connected with journal-
ism, has retired. Dr. Smith is held in
high esteem by the members of the
newspaper fraternity and all will wish
him many more years of lite and happi-
ness. The Toronto Star very nicely
says:—"He is a journalist also in sym-
pathy. He knows the life of journal-
ism. its labors, anxieties, and many
newspaper workers can testify to his
fatherly kindness and unfailing court-
esy. Though he has earned his rent, we
hope that rest does not mean silence,
and that his voice may still be heard in
the discussion of public affairs as aeons -
ion may arise.",

CAUSE AND CURE
OF NEURALGIA
The old age annuities plan of the
Dominion Government has met with
little criticism from any quarter, and
the Opposition lent their assistance
in carrying it through the House. It
has also attracted attention abroad
and amongst other journals noticing
it recently was the Youth's Compan-
ion, a carefully edited paper, which
said:
"Six hundred dollars a year for the
rest of his life is offered by the Can-
adian Government by every citizen
who will pay to it sixty dollars a
year from the age of twenty to the
age of sixty; that is, an investment
of twenty-four hundred dollars will
yield five per oent interest on twelve
thousand from the time a man reaches
sixty till he dies. Thie offer, as well
as many others of smaller amounts, is
made in accordance with the new
government annuity law paesed Inst
year. The plats has been in force
only a few mouths, but the saperiu-
tendent of annuities is quoted as well
pleased with the prospect for busi-
ness. This is a form of government
ineurance whioh appea'-e more to the
self respecting workman than the old -
age pension plan whioh the mother
country has adopted."

Neuralgia means simply "nerve pain,"
so there may be a great variation in the
character and intensity of the pain and
any nerve in the body may be affected.
There are a nnmber of onuses of neural-
gia, but the most common is a general
run-down condition of the system. The
discovery of this fact from reliable
statistics led to the new treatment for
neuralgia which ooneists in building up
the general health by the tonio treat-
ment and so disposing of the cause of
the trouble.
Persons reduced by conte sickness, or
by severe mental or physical strain, or
by loss of sleep are frequent victims of
neuralgia and it is common in the case
of those suffering from anaemia or blood-
lessness. This brings as to the actual
oanse of neuralgia, which is nerve star-
vation. The blood which in normal
health carries to the nerves all of their
nourishment, is unable to perform this
ditty satisfactorily when it is weak or
impure. Build up the blood and the
neuralgia pain will disappear as the
nerves become better nourished. Dr,
Williams' Pink Pills are a blood -making
tonic, and for this reason care even the
most obstinate oases of neuralgia. Every
dose of this medicine makes new, rich
blood, which feed the starved veins and
drives ant the sharp, darting, stabbing
pains of neuralgia. Mrs. John Tibert,
Little River, N.S., says:—"A few years
ago I was a great sufferer from neural.
Kia in my head and face. At times the
attacks were simply excruciating, and I
would be forced to remain in bed. I
tried doctor's medioines. but did not
receive any benefit until I began using
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I am
happy to say that the benefit I received
from these was wonderful. I may also
add that De. Williams' Pink Pills oared
my daughter of anaemia and indigestion
at a time when we began to despair of
her getting better. I can highly recom-
mend these Pills to anyone suffering
from these troubles "
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
from any dealer in medicines or they
will be sent by mail at 50 cants a box or
eta boxes for $2 50 by The Dr. Williams'
Medicine CO., Brockville, Ont.
The editor of the Kincardine Review
very nicely expresses the opinion of the
editor of the TIMES on the gaeetion of
newspaper postage when he says:—
Hae the impoeition of postage on
newspapers going over to the United
States done any good? We think not.
It hes cut the link connecting many
Canadiane living in the Unit d States
with the country of their ()shin, viz ,
