“For the Press, I suppose,” he
said. “Why no word about the mur

“What’s the good?” answered the
other. “There is enough hue and cry
already without adding to it.”
He rose and stood by the window
hands deep in his trouser pockets
and Tiny contemplated his back
with rising anger. |
“Damn it. Colonel,” he exploded
at length, “you seem to take the
old chap’s murder pretty calmly.”
“How else is one to take it, Car

I “Isn’t there, by Jove,” cried the

‘,Find this man Zavier if it takes

j “How .are you going to set about

you, the dice are loaded far toe

“How do you suggest we should

“Ever done any big-game shoot

Tiny stared at him in amazement
“No—never.”

“Can’t say I do.”
“You are the goat. Only I’d pre

“ Deuced considerate of you, Col

He rose and held out his hand.

Here is some useful information
for anyone troubled with that un
comfortable complaint, lumbago. A
woman writes —
“For years I suffered from lum
bago. During wet weather, I could
only turn in bed with great effort
and pain, I was so stiff and ached
so much, Two years ago I had both
lumbago and sciatica, and crawleo
about for a fortnight, feeling very
sorry for myself and looking 103 in
stead of 33. Someone said ‘Try
Kruschen Salts’ so I did, and I have
taken them ever since, with the re
sult that I hardly ever get a hint of
lumbago these days.”—(Mrs.) G. P.
C.
Why is it that Kruschen is so ef
fective in keeping lumbago at bay?
Simply because it goes right down tc
the root of the trouble and removes
the cause, which is an impure blood
stream. The six salts in Kruschen
• keep the bloodstream pure and vig
orous by promoting a clockwork
regularity of all the organs of elim
ination.

The Road to
RECOVERY
A Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada
WITHIN a few days the Dominion of
Canada will offer for public subscrip
tion the 1933 Refunding Loan, the pur
poses and terms of which will be announced in
detail by the Minister of Finance on Tuesday,
October 10. In this national undertaking an
opportunity will be afforded both for sound
investment and for public service, and I have no
doubts as to the readiness with which Canadian
investors will respond.
I feel, however, that the 1933 Loan marks a
point in Canadian affairs to which it is only
proper that public attention should be drawn as
a means of extending justifiable encouragement to
many thousands of men and women who have en
dured adversity with such admirable fortitude.
With due precaution against unwarranted op-
- timism I think I may say that in Canada we are
■ now on the road to recovery. The road may be
long and progress may be slow, but the events of
the past six months appear to demonstrate with
increasing clarity that the downward trend has
come to a definite stop and that an upward trend
is now in progress.
The evidence of improvement is written in the
statistical facts of our industry and trade. These
records show that our general economic condi
tion reached its*lowest point during the month of
February last and that today we are definitely
above that level following a recovery which has
been gradual but persistent and unmistakable.
The most significant of these figures are probably
those dealing with the physical volume of busi
ness, wholesale prices and employment, and I give
here briefly the record of recovery in each case as
shown by the reports of the Dominion Bureau of
Statistics.
The index of our physical volume of business,
which represents virtually the economic pulse of
the nation, Btood last February at 67.1. For
August, the most recent month for which the
index is available, the figure was 89.9, an im
provement of approximately 34%.

Wholesale prices, in which even minor changes
are highly significant, have risen over 9%, or
from an index of 63.6 last February to one of
69.4 in August.
Employment, although still at a regrettably low
level, has, nevertheless, been gaining steadily for
the past five months. On the basis of partial
reports from industrial employers some 116,000
persons have been added to pay-rolls since last
April. An estimate by the Bureau on a more
comprehensive basis places the total increase in
employment at 246,000 during the same period.
Our external trade figures are equally encourag
ing. Both exports and imports have risen, with
the former showing the more rapid increase. As
a result, Canada had a favourable trade balance of
over $114,000,000 in the twelve months ended
August 31st this year. For the corresponding
period last year the favourable balance was only
$38,000,000, and in the two previous twelve
months’ periods instead of favourable figures we
had unfavourable balances of $45,000,000 and of
$103,000,000 respectively.
All these facts and figures I think we may quite
safely take as sign-posts on the road to recovery.
In our further progress, no single factor will have
more significance than the success of our national
loan operations. The recent 4% loan in London
was a notable tribute to Canada’s credit stand
ing. It was immediately oversubscribed many
times and now commands a substantial premium.
I feel satisfied that our own people will be quick
to perceive that the 1933 Refunding Loan in
Canada is at once a challenge and an opportunity
—a challenge to aid in the restoration of business
recovery and an opportunity to serve thereby
their own and their country’s best interests.
