What is CASTORIA
Castoria is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Pare-
goric, Drops and Soothing Syrups. It is pleasant. It
contains neither Opium, Morphine nor other Narcotic
substance. Its age is its guarantee. It destroys Worms
and allays Feverishness. For more than thirty years it
has been in constant use for the ;relief of Consti!patiion,
Flatulency, Wind Colic, all: Teething Troubles and
Diarrhoea. It regulates the Stomach and Bowels,
assitnilates the Food, giving healthy and natural sleep.

'Writing from Artland. Sask., under
date of Nov. 24, Mr. Geo. W. Law-
son. Nays :—"Please find enclosed
money in payment of the Exeter Ad-
voaate-- one of the most welcome
weakly visitors to our home. We al-
ways look forward to Monday's mail
to bring us this message. We are
Navin. lovely weather here now, but
rather cold. There is already 14 in-
ches of frost in the ground. Crops in
this disttrict were not as good as last
year although there were some splen-
did yields. One farmer in particular,
who has had an uphill struggle ever
since he has been in this district, re-
ceived almost 4000 bushels of No. 2
Northern wheat. a great deal of the
crepe yielding 50 bushels to the acre.
This will net him a snug sum at the
prevailing price of wheat this year.
On the other hand some farmers had
very little crop, being hit severely by
the trust at August 10th. It caught
some of the late sown wheat right
in the critical stage and acres of it
was not worth cutting. However,
'teed wheat at 93 cents a bushel is
;earth harvesting, while farmers are
shipping their best wheat, Car short-
age appears to be a serious handicap
to the marketing of the grain. Eleva-
tors are filled up at many country
points with nod visible outlet for some
time. Wishing you and your valu-
.able paper many years of prosperi-o."

He leaves to mourn his loss a n•.o.h-
er,twho has had to bear bereavement
a. little over a year ago by receiving
notice from file Government that her
son David, who was in France at the
front.. was reported as missing, and
is now given up as dead, three bro-
ther and three sisters, to whom
is extended the sympathy of the com-
munity. The tollowing is an extract
from a letter received from. Tien Ber-
trand. one of ti:ceased's most intim-
ate iri:nds,-.-"Dan, .Norman Holtz -
nit= and a friend were standing in
ront of a pool -room on Nanette Av.
about seven o'clock in ,*he evening,
when a woman came running up the
s:reet yelling that her husband was
atter her and was going to ;:ill ber.
When sh. :tot up to where 'they
wer- standing she stopped and ran
inside the pool -room, and hid behind
the show Lase. In a moment her hus-
band came up and as h turned to on--
-er •the building Dan p.ut his arms
'round him from the back, and his
friend caught him around the neck.
In going into the place he broke his
bold and shot Dan in the :ibdotn n.
He then went over to the proprietor
and shoved the gun under his ,nose
demanding him to tell where his wife
went, He told him she ran out the
bet door. He then ran through the
pool -room out the back and his wite
then came out of her hiding place
and ran out the front. These people
are absolute strangers to everybody.
Dan was rushed to the hospital and
didn't collapse until he got into the
reception room. The doctors had
slight hope for him after the opera-
tion. One of the last words he said
to me was "This is what a man gets
for being a good fellow. Wilson,the
man who did the shooting, escaped
and is still at large."

Had Terrible Pains
in Kidneys and Back.
Dear Mr. Editor—I want to write you
about «Anuric." I was very sick, could
hardly be lip; I was in bed most of the
time. Had terrible pains in my kidneys
and back, so much so that I had to
scream sometimes when I was sitting
down and wanted to get up, the pain
was so great. I had tried a well-known
kidney medicine but it didn't help me.
I heard of Dr. Pierce's. Anuric Tablets
so I thought 1 would
trythem.I took
g
only one box of the Tablets, and my
back is now free from pain and I can
work and take care.of my family. I
feel I cannot say enough for this medi-
cine. Sincerely, MRs. WM. KELLER.

especially for kidney complaints and
diseases arising from disorders of the
kidneys and bladder, such as backache,
weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, con-
gestion of the kidneys, inflammation
of the bladder, scalding urine and
urinary troubles. The physicians and
specialists at Dr. Pierre's great Institu-

ing these troubles, and in most cases
absolutely curing the diseased kidneys.
