THE FORMULA OF
"FRUIT•A•TIVES114 "
Is On The OuIside Of Every Box
For All The World To See
•

Every user of " It'ruit-a-tives" knows exactly what is being taken. The
formula of thin famous fruit medicine is printed plainly on the outside of every
box. We have stated many times --and now state clearly—that " Fruit -a -fives '
lis made of the juices of apples, oranges, figs and prunes, with valuable heart and
nerve tonics and antiseptics.
Everyone knows that fruit juice is healthful -but perhaps some do not
understand why this is true.
Fruit juice consists of about 91% water, 8% of sweet principle and i% of a
bitter substance. It is the quantity of bitter principle in fruit that gives the
fruit value as a medicine. An eminent physician of Ottawa, after years of
experimenting, found a method of increasing the bitter principle in fruit juice,
thus increasing the medicinal or curative qualities.
Theuices are first extracted from fresh, ripe oranges, apples, figs and
prunes. By a secret process, some of the sweet atoms are replaced by the bitter
principle. Then tonics and antiseptics are .added, and the whole madeinto
tablets, now known, far and wide as ' Fruit-a-tives,"
"Fruit-a-tives " is the only medicine in the world that is made of fruit
juices, and is one of the few remedies that have let their composition be known
rom their introductionto the public.
" Fruit-a-tives " is nature's stimulant for the liver, bowels, kidneys and skin.
In cases of obstinate Constipation, Liver Trouble, Indigestion, Backache,
Rheumatism, Headaches and Impure Blood, this wonderful fruit medicine cures
when everything else fails.
"Pruit-a-tives" is sold everywhere at soc. a box, 6 for $2.50, or trial box, z5c.,
or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price by Fruit-a-tives Limited. Ottawa.
THE TRAIWIBY.
Her Presence Saved the Passen-
gers From Death.
By WILLIAM ALFRED COREY.
{Copyright, 1510, by American Press Asso-
ciation.]
The shrill cries of the motherless
child arose above the roar of the train
and •the labored coughing of the two
big mogul engines as the Overland lim-
ited slowly climbed the steep grades
between Salida and Marshall pass.
Do what she would, the woman the
train crew had installed as nurse could
not pacify the moor little waif. It had
been supplied with everything a baby
could be imagined to need or want.
• indeed. the nurse bad a suspicion
that this overattention and overfeed-
ing were what ailed the infant in the
present crisis. Too much and too

came to a stop on the cold but sun
crowned height of the pass. "Pacifica's
fin a bad way. Maybe you can quiet
{the kid. Nobody else can."
The trainmen had named the baby
i"Pacifica" and adopted her as their
Own when they wired the authorities

fant's care. "The little czarina," "Ba-
byoffsky" and various other names.
!had been suggested. But Cy Werner,
rthe fireman, whom the engineer de-
lscribed as "a sort of bookish, sentimen-
ttal cuss," had insisted on "Pacifica"
ins the most appropriate name, and the
'rest bad acquiesced. So "Pacifica" the
little stranger was throughout the rest
lof the long journey.
"All right, Mr. Barnes," cald the big
engineer; "I'll be there directly."
And "directly,' when he had finished
Whiling 'er up" and deposited the long
nosed can in its place in the cab, he
istarted hack along the train to where
lthe little uncrowned queen lay yelling
gat full lung power, which was excel-
lent, and kicking and fighting like a
(true revolutionist.
The engineer's hypnotic presence
worked quick and marvelous results.
"Hi, there aye little furre__gner, root's
all out,a
the matter?" he called dangling a
!glove above the improvised crib with
one hand and catching a diminutive
pink toe between the fingers of the
Other. "Wot's the matter? Don't Amer -
Sky suit ye nether?"
elThen be opened his eyes wide and
said "Boot" as he bent down low and
looked into the blue depths of the big
orbs.
"O -o -ogle, oogle, goo, cool" said the
!baby as her cries suddenly ceased and
ra wide smile of delight spread itself
over her face.

"Goo-goo-geogle gee!" again re-
marked the baby. suddenly grasping •
the engineer's long mustaches with
both hands and hanging on as though
suspended in midair.
"Ones, ye little terrorist!" winced
the engineer, while the ring of by-
standers roared.
But the infantile crisis was passed,
and with a "that's the way to do it
air the man of the throttle and drive
tc heels went back to his seatin the
cab. the conductor called "All fiboard"
and the train resumed its journey to-
ward the sunset slope.
They were snowed in for a dtly be -
bore reaching Ogden, and Pacifica was
almost the sole divetbion wherewith
the storm bound community beguiled
the slow hours. A stranger . in a far.
Strange land. she had more friends
than she could well manage. though all
were willing to be managed. The only.
baby on the train, her welfare was are
pareatly the one concern of all.
Elegant, fur wrapped ladies brought
daintlea from the Pullman car buffet-
to please the child of poverty and,mis-
fortune. Dignified men of wealth and
affairs inquired anxiously as to' the
little one's comfort and wanted to
know if there was anything they
could do. A newjy married couple
on their •honeymoon were effusively
solicitous. A titled somebody from
somewhere calmly adjusted his mono-
.cie and smiled grimly ashe studied
the bit of democratic humanity. All
did what they could. And many who
could do nothing else paid the eloquent
tribute of silent tears. A baby, a poor
helpless waif from a foreign land, had
done what has baffled the logic' of
centuries—it' bad broken the granite
barriers of social caste and; captured
the citadel of the common human
heart.

He is also Deacon of the Baptist Church

the whole works.
The Sierras were crossed. Sacramen°
to was reached and pussed, and the
train headed south toward the San
Joaquin and Los Angeles.
A few miles south of Sacramento a
storm, suddenly blowing in from the
ocean, was encountered, which in-
creased in violence as they neared
Bakersfield and the Tehachepi moun-
tains.
At Bakersfield the wind was blowing
a fifty mile clip. andthe rain was com-
ing down like a cloudburst.
"Ticklish business up there, Rogers!"
yelled the conductor to the engineer as
be waved his hand toward the storm
swept heights of the Tehacbepi. Rog-
ers had no need to be told of the dan-
ger of landslides in this the first se-
vere storm of the season. '
It was 11 o'clock that uight when the
engineer stopped for water a short dis- •.
tante below tunnel No. 5. The night
was very black, and the storm beat and
roared about the train like an army
of demons. The trainmen; incased in.
their long raincoats, flashed their lan-
terns about, examining boxings. test-

noise of the storm.
It reached the earsof the engineer
wanting back by the tender, and
straightway, instead of the screaming
wind and pelting rain, he heard the
voice of his own child calling to him
from a new made grave in Los Ange-
les, and instead of the two glistening
rails stretching away from the head-
light into the gloom be saw the plead-
ing•eyes and outstretched arms of his
dead boy: And the heart of the brave
man came up in his throat, and he felt.
coming over him the weakness that for
days had incapacitilted him ;after his
loss. 1'
"Oh, my God!" he muttered to him-
self as the plaintive cry , again smote
his ears. "That sounded like little
Bob."
And then Engineer Rogers did 'an'un
-precedented •thing: Teliint--h s 'firem;rii"-
he would return in a minute, be start-
ed back through the storm to where
Pacifica lay crying and refusing to be
comforted.
Dripping with storm water, he edged
his way ,through the circle of attend- .
ants and bent over the. train baby's'
crib;
The crying int;tantly ceased. Wheth-
er° it was the play of the car lights on
his wet raincoat or the hypnotism of
presence there was no tell=

not resumed

A mile up the track they found the
mouth of tunnel No. 5 completely bar-

ders and earth and tree trunks, swept
from their anchorage on the heights

Rogers held his watch in the light of
a lantern, "According to . schedule,"

iT'S ATHABASCA NOW.
The Landing Is the Latest. Town to
Have Growing Pains.
A live Board of Trade is that of
Athabasca T. : ding. Its last message
has just arrived by mail at this of-
fice, says The Canadian Courier, ra
dieting optimism in telling of the in-
dustries at the far port of the north.
From all accounts the Landing is Je-
veloping into a whacking big place,
taking on a national aspect since the
railroads began to project into the
.wilds. The story of Athabasca starts
with the fur; with the bear„the fox
and the coyote—and the pelt -hunters
.fro > in” into town.
Then come
the
.tattler trekking up from Southern Al-
berta, where he had put Parliament„
Buildings into the fur post at. Ed-
monton, turning it into a capital of a
-tarn pmol.nee,_....,Reace_.:.Rixex..._beeamea--
:cnown as a farming district. Cattle
and horses roamed on the ` Arctic
plains all winter, fanned by the chi
nook winds. • Oats, barley and wheat
sprouted; this year the acreage sown
bettered last year 100. per cent. Lum-
bering has of late come into Class A
with farming as a "leading industry."
Tf.'you paddle' up the Athabasca from
above the town for 100 miles you will
see nothing but timber berths; spruce,
pine and poplar. Two Mills, saw wood
at Athabasca and there is a portable
mill in addition for the chaps who pull
their own logs out . of . the stream:.
Fishing is good. White fish in Lesser
Slave and Lake La Biche have put
dollars into the pockets of frontiers
men; nor.. are they all yet jerked out.
Indeed the . fisheries of Athabasca
have only been tapped Owing to the
lack of rapid transportation, fisher-
men have had to confine their opera-
tions .to,: a short period in Ahel Winter..

"There is an excellent opening here
for a brickyard. The nearest brick-
yard to Athabasca Landing is 100
smiles distant, and as next year prom-
ises to be a big building year for
Athabasca Landing there will be a
heavy demand for bricks, and a local
company could without difficulty corn•

was the jumping-off place for Yukon-

Known in Rowing Circles.
Accompanying the Queen's Own Ri-
fles on their visit -to Aldershot, is Maj.
Robert K. Barker, who is well known
in rowing circles, both in England and
the great Dominion. He has frequent-
ly accompanied the famous Argonauts
A Toronto to Henley regattas as cox -
main and manager. During the South
African war he commanded "C" Com,
?any of the first Canadian contingent
-the Royal Canadian Regiment of In-
!antry, While this regiment, lay at
Belmont night lights in the surrou
(ng -'country gave cause for alarm.
t•uliar light flashes from Kaffir kraals
near Belmont led Capt. Barker and a
;mall party of men to investigate the
presumed Boer signals. The phantom
aghts lured the Canadians to a clus-
ter of straw -covered huts, where, in
the deepest darkness, they crept on
hands and knees to the spot from
which the apparent messages were be-
ing sent to the Boers. A sudden dash
tesulted in a surprise for both the
black men and the Britons, for the
natives were simply holding a weird
funeral serviee over the body of a
very small infant of the tribe.
A Census Estimate.
The census and statistics branch at
Ottawa estimates that on March 31,
when the fiscal year closed, Canada
had a population of 7,489,781, it being
estimated that there was a growth of
105,000 over the year previous. In
detail the Department estimates the
population as follows;
Maritime Provinces, 1,606,678; Que-
gec, 2,124,834; 'Ontario, 2,687,861; Mani-
toba, 496,111; Saskatchewan, 377,590;
Alberta, 321,862; British Columbia,
321,733; unorganized territories, 59,050,
Immigration not shown by provinces,
10,862.
These calculations indicate that the
census, which will be taken June next,
will show Canada to have a popula-
tion of between eight and.. nine
millions.
