Much has been said and writte about the hire of gold 10. etimulatin netileineut and exploration. In in history of Canada, bowover, it wa the quest for furs that provided an It restive to the tradere who threads the tangle of lakes and streams, tr versed the prairies and stormed th rugged mountain -passes that barro the way to the Pacific Ocean. Tru the outstanding leaders in the task o exploration were fired by higher mo lives than mere love of gain. Novo theles, the magnificent profits to b realized in the fur trade formed th economic basis which equipped an sustained the work of discovery. Canada is not only a great fur -con sinning country, but is also one of th leading fur -producing countries of th world, and, provided we. take prope measures to censerve our wild life Is likely always to remain so. Al though here, as elsewhere, furs ar often worn for °mamma, our rigor our winter makes furalinnet a neces sity for many persons.

O Mrs. J. N. McNeil, Glace Bay, N.S., says: "For yeare past my home has never been without Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I have good reason to praise them highly. Following an attack of 1a grippe, I was 1 ft In a badly run down couclition. I had no appetite and bit so weak 1 could scarcely go about the house. I was taking medi- cine, but it was not helping me, and a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' , Pink Pills. I used them for a time with the most beneficial results. My appetite improved, my strength re- : turned and I was soon able to do all my housework. I now use the pills every sprlog and IP'ibem splendid Strength bringing tonic.

You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mull at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, ----se—___ Exports v. Imports. Before the war, we were Importing mare furs than we exported. For the :local year 1913, our total imports of this commodity amounted to 07,993,651 and our exports to $5,415,119, thus leaving an unfavorable balance of over 21,e, million dollars. During the war, we have had a favorable balance small at firet, lint rising to $9,214,584 for the fiscal year 1919. For that year our export; amounted to $13.- 737,621 and our imports to 54,523.037. The increased value of our eeports is largely due to the enormous rise in prices but also Indicates a consider- able increase In the number of pelts eeported. It is gratifying to note that, in spite of the higher prices, our im- ports have actually decreased in value. This would seem to indicate that there is :n increasing demestio consumption of our own fu In 1918, our imports I, um the United States were $4,22ee 6 and our exports to it, 52,348,183, showing a trade balance in favor of the States of 51,885,273. For the fiscal year ended Meech 81, 1919, the figures, ae given in the Annual Report of the Dept. of Trade and Commerce, are: imports, $1,801,005; eeporte, $9,743,464; bal- ance in Canada's favor, 55,941,859. Montreal Fur Auction. Our imports from Great Britain have declimel front $1,294,462 in 1913 to only $148,486 in 1919, Meanwhile, our exports have increased from $2,- 795,791 in 1913 to 53,703,955 in 1919. Taking into coneicieration the rise in prices, these figures indicate an actual decrease in quantity. Undressed furs form much the largest item in our exports, over 98 per cent, of the whole, and also about 78 per cent. of the imports. In Russia, In pre-war times, great fur sales were held at Irbtt, Nljnt- Novgcn'o41 and Moscow. In Germany, the greet market was Leipzig, where the big Easter fair used to attract fur - buyers from all parts of the world. Montreal should take its place be - sem these centres as 0 great for mar- ket and the Montreal Fur Sales Board seams to have selected a pros:Moue moment for launching the enterprise, before the channels of trade, which have been dislocated by the war, again settle down into well-worn grooves. Mother Won. Cousin Robert had Wine to dinuer, and little Ethel had been allowed to sit up as a great treat, Now, Ethel Is one of those children one meets nowadays who hear a groat deal too much for thoir years, and, moreover, Who don't believe in the saying about children not being heard. You can't stay near dear little Ethel without hearing quite a lot, Which all gets on with the story of the night.when Cousin Robert came to supper, "Do have another helphig of this steak -Me, Roberti" said Ethel's moth- er, after Robert bad already caused two platefuls to disappear. "Vire.II, Cousin Mary, I think / will, since you are sa pressing," replied the ginat. "Thu WIII, mother! exclaimed Ethel suddenly; and mother, caught nap- ping, turned to her with a smile, and "Win, clear?"

Despite a pretty legend that dolls first appeared on the breathes of trees in the Garden of Eden, the earliest really authentic records go back to the days of the Romans, who made quaint, sphinxlike, jointed dolls of ivory, which modern doll makers have copied. The Roman children, ac- cording to Macaulay, had dolls, which they offered to Venus when they grew older. There is no very good evidence, however, that the use of dolls dates from more remote times. Among the native tribes of Africa it was the custom of married women to carry a doll with them until they had a child. Even kings played with dolls, and it hundred years ago there were talking and walking dolls, which to -day are still regarded as novelties. At a French exhibition held In 1823 dolls that could say "papa" and "mam- ma" were exhibited, and three years later dells that.could walk were shown in the shops. About the same time dolls were made that could open and close 'their eyes, The average weekly wage for women in !Britain has risen from 10s-15sweekly in 1914 to 25s -35s. noW.

Every once in a while I see that I have figured that a certain conveM- euce is for the city man only. Then I and that it is just as handy and pays as well on the farm as anywhere else. This time it is a safety deposit box in the bank where I do businees. It costs me $1 for the keys, and that is all, If I ever want to discontinue its use I get my dollar back, so it costs me in reality about six cents a year, sines that is the interest rate here. But so far as the cost Is concerned I believe it would be worth far more. I keep my insurance policies my deeds, and cancelled notes and mort- gages in this box. Outside of the deed for the farm the others could be replaced if taken by thieves or if burned, But in my case the man who deeded the farm to me is insane, and has no heirs except uncles and aunts. The cost of replacing this deed would be quite an item, and it would also be a great bother. I am starting on this farm and in debt, so I don't have many notes on hand, but a farmer who is farther along and out of debt could easily have dozens of them, as well as securities of other sorts that must be kept safe. It is true that most men pay their notes, but there are some who wouldn't if a note were lost, Some securities require no en- doraement, and when stolen are easily sold. Solite Victory bonds, for in- stance, are of this sort, The bank vault is about as eafe for these papers as any human can make a place.

A GENTLE LAXATIVE FOR THE CHILDREN MOthers—the surest way of keeping your little ones well and happy; whether it is the new-born babe or the growing child, is to keep their bowels regular and their stomach sweet. N.ne-tenths of all childhood ailments are the result of clogged bowels and sour stomach, The most necessary and the best medicine for little ones is a geintly laxative—something that will relieve constipation; sweeten the stomach and promote rest and natur- al sleep. Such a medicine is Baby's Own Tablets. They are a gentle but efficient laxative; are absolutely guar- anteed free from opiates or ether in- jurious drugs and may be given to the youngest infant with perfect safety.

Nevertheless there has been a steadily increasing num- ber of packages stolen, and the or- gaoization combating the thieves have met an increased ingenuity in divert- ing goods from their owners. A technique of robbery has been developed so highly that the methods of "master thieves" are similar in the United States, England, France, Italy and Argentina, according to a recent report Of the United States Chamber of Commerce in Argentina, Detec- tives, however, are inclined to dis- credit that organization's belief that a "widespread international Organiza- tion" is at work stealing merchandise. Substitution is the usual method used by the thieves. Sometimes boxes supposed to contain velvets are found at their destination to be filled with calico or other cheaper grades of cloth, but as a rule, waste paper is found, These are referred to as "con- cealed losses" by railway men, and are especially difficult to trace, as the shipment leaves and arrives ap- parently in good condition, and it is almost impossible to discover at what point the theft occurred. The silk industry has been one of the most severely hit in the last year, and so great has the risk become that the Railroad Administration has been considering excluding raw silks from the privilege of freight transportation by rail. The Merchants' Association of New York, through its traffic bureau, has protested against such an exclusion, advocating some less radi- cal measure to minimize or prevent the theft of silk in transit.
