The thermometer has been the cen-
tre of Canada's hopes and fears for
these last few days and nights. After
all is said and done, domestic weather
has a good deal more to do with the
prosperity of this country than foreign
tariffs. One night's hard frost through-
out Manitoba would have meant a
greater national loss in one year than
the most hostile tariff the United
States could enact would mean -in ten
years. Give this country favorable
seasons and fair prices, and the most
foolish United States tairfi can do
Canada no harm, while without these
domestic blessings the wisest United
States tariff could do Canada no good.

good News From South .Dakota,
The glorious results of this season's
harvest of golden grain will pour a
stream of sound money into the pocket
of every Dakota farmer.
South Dakota has thousands of acres
of choice farming and ranch land lying
east of the Missouri river, and within
one day s ride from Chicago or Mil-
waukee which can now be bought
reasonably cheap, butwliicli before the
end of another year may be advanced
in price.
The stock -raising industry in South
Dakota is profitable, and Eastern capi-
tal is now being invested in cattle and
sheep growing in that state.

To Advertisers.
The benefit derived from an adver
tisement depends altogether• upon the
number of persons who read it, To
reach the greatest number of readers
at the least possible expense,: is a
question thshould beconsidered
verycarefully by business Men, A
thousand small bills printed in Tor-
onto or London, and distributed in
this section, would be just as effective
as if the bill had been prioted in town.
There is not a doubt about that, but if
you want to reach the people in their*
homes, newsaper advertising is the
only suecessfpul way. To get the best
results use the paper with the largest
circulation, and tiegreatest amount of
local news. Circulation is the proper
basis upon wh ichprices should beilxecl.
If a newspaper with a. circulation of
2,000 charges $100 per year, then one
with a circulation of000 would be entitl-
ed to $30. Au advertiser should take
these facts into careful consideration,
when making contracts. Another fre-
quent loss to advertisers is in the use
of several papers when one covers the
ground. Tune TIMES is read by more

for me has your Phrenoline, and
have much pleasure in recommeoding
it to other sufferers.
