Very significant was th© celebration organized this autumn by th© Winni­ peg Board of Trad© to mark -the flf- tith anniversary of the first shipment of wheat from the Canadian West. Wheat had been successfully grown In the Red River valley from 1812 on­ ward. but before 1876 only for home consumption. In th© latter year there ' was a serious failure of ths spring wheat erpp in Ontario, which It was felt was due to the fact that th© old Red Fife variety in that province had lost 4t® vigor. The fam©,.of th© wheat grown in the Red River valley had be­ gun to spread1, and in the autumn a seed merchant of Toronto decided to try to secure 5,000 -bushels of wheat fo-r seeding. As railways had not then reached -the Canadian West the most expeditious method of travel was to the end1 of rail at Flsher’e Landing on the Red. river in Minnesota, and thence by river steamer to Winnipeg. ‘ The seedsman arrived- in Winnipeg only a day or two .before the sailing of th© last steamer of the season. In th© brief time available he was able to, secure only 857 bushels. This was sacked and shipped by steamer to Fisher’s Landing, thence by rail to Toronto. At the recent celebration in Winnipeg it was pointed out that the grain movement inaugurated by this tiny consignment of 857 bushels in 1876 had grown to -total shipments of nearly 350,000,000 bushels in th© crop year 1925-26. ». .

Baby’s Own Tablets Banish Babyhood and Childhood Ailments. Mrs. II, Oakes, Sarnia, Ont., says:— “I have used Baby’s Own Tablets in my home for the past fifteen years and I believe the good.health my child­ ren enjoy is due entirely to this medi­ cine. The Tablets are, helpful at teeth­ ing time; relieve colds and are al­ ways beneficial in th© minor ailments of little ones. I have recommended Baby's Own Tablets to other mothers whose experience with them has been as satisfactory as my own.” ■Baby's Own Tablets du one thing only, but they do it-well.. They act as a gentle laxative which, thoroughly regulates the bowels and-sweetens .the stomach, thus banishing constipation and. indigestion, colds., and simple fevers, and turn the cross, sickly baby' into a well, happy, laughing/child.' .Baby’s Own Tablets ape sold by^ medicine dealers or'direct by mall at 25 cen ts a boxi from the Dri Williams’ Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. deservedly placed here (among the list of highlanders) on ac- .’’ It ■would For many generations lead continued to be used as a protective package for all fine quality teas. Then tiie modern metal, Aluminum, was introduced* But during war-time and later, paper bags and paper boxes were largely used and have held sway even •since. In our 30 years experience putting up Red Rose Tea we have used all these containers and each has; some particular merit. But careful tests over a long period prove tliaf 'Aluminum is by far the best container that has yet been found, and paper packages of every kind the poorest. When in contact with dampness paper absorbs moisture which soon affects the quality Of the tea, and in some instances completely spoils it. Having found the paper ^package unreliable and uncertain, we have again adopted the Alunjinum* package which we used years ago. For we know now, that Aluminum can be better, .depended upon than any other. , Bhe.

Men are Influence'S by It iltofit deeply when it comes upon them ynawares1, working in through the aiient energies' of the Spirit found in devout and faithful men, from whom there issues the vitalizing power which lays hold of all who come in contact with them.
