WOMAN'S NEVES:..i.
.MADE .STONO
By Lydia E. Piakbarn's
Vegetable Compound.
Winona, Minn. -1'I suffered for more
than a year from nervousness, and was
so bad I could not
rest at night—
would lie awake and
got so nervous I
would have to get
up and walk around
and in the morning
would be all tired
out. I read about
Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Com-
pound and thought
I would try it. My
nervousness soon
left me. I sleep
we and feel fine in the morning and
able to do my work. I gladly recom-
mend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to make weak nerves
strong. Mrs. ALBERT SULTZE, 608
Olmstead St., Winona, Minn.
Ilow often do we hear the expression
among women, "I am so nervous, I fan -
mot (sleep," or "it seems as though I
should fly." Such women should profit
by Mrs, tilultztes experience and give
this famous root and herb remedy,
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound, a trial.
For forty years it has been overcom-
ing such serious conditions as displace-
ments, inflammation; Weeration, irreg.
ninnies, periodic pains, backache, diz-
ziness, and nervous prostration of
women, and is now considered the stan-
dard remedy for such ailments,

The bituminous coal fields of the
United ,States are estimated to cover
200,000 square miles,
The Province of Alberta Is esti-
meted to possess 25,000 square elliee
of anthracite coal fields,
The railroads of the United States
ordinarily consume about 200,000,-
000 tons of bituminous old a year,
In the late '50a, On the Providence
and Worchester railroad, coal was
burned in locomotives for Ilia first
time In America.
The anthracite coal fields of
Pennsylvania are estimated at about
400 square miles, mid this is prac-
tically ail there is in the United State&
The first discovery of coal is said
to haVe been made by a Belgian black-
smith named Hullos, who lived in a
village near Liege, in 1 04 9.
The coal mined at Udi, Nigeria, Is
said to have a"" calorific value of
seventy-five per cent, of that of the
best Welsh coal. Last year about
110,000 tons were mined at Udi.
Reliable authorities reckon the coal
fields of China as equal in value to
all the other coal fields of the world
combined, but so far they are practic-
ally lyine idle. One province, liunan,
has•21.,7uo miles of solid coal, anthrac-
ite and bituminous.
Switzerland has 00 coal of her own,
ance not even any peat of lignite. Coal
was $00 a ton daring the war, Germany
allowing her a small amount in return
for food and other products. The
Swiss burn wood, and drive most of
their factories by electric power pro-
cured from waterfalls.
The princir,1 reason why Argen-
tine railway securities slumped SO
badly during the war is that this
huge country has always depended
upon imported coal, and of late the
companies have been paying $30 a
ton for coal from the United Stales.
True, there is coal in the Argentine,
but it is not yet -worked 00 any con-
siderable scale.
--tete--
Nearly every express train in
Italy has been cut off. The reason
is that the country is almost without
coal. Italy has not a single coal
mine in all her territory. Lignite,
yes, but lignite is poor fuel for stok-
ing locomotives, or for any purpose,
except burning in an open grate. Dur-
ing the war Italians paid up to 5100
a ton for importted coal. Before it
they got their coal from Germany or
eneland' at a cost of about $20 a ton.

Row Milk is Secreted.
No one knows exactly how the
cow secretes milk. Various theories
have been put forth explaining the
process, but none of these are en-
tirely satisfactOry. About all we
know is that mill: is a true secretion
of the mammary glands located in
what is known as the udder, more
commonly called the "bag" of the
cow. It is made from blood.
In order that the cow may have
plenty of blood, out of which she may,
manufacture milk. She must be In a
healthy condition, be supplied with
plenty of pure air, and water, and
have an abundance of the right kind
of 'feed.
Some cows are unable to make
milk abundsuitle even though the
owner does all he can be expected
to do for his cows, la these cases.
ht the fault of the e0M--they
have not the power themselves
of emakIng milk from their teed. They
seem to change their feed into blood
which is mind ass a bates for menu -

'rho only way to know for (*Asia -
whether or not a cow is able to se-
crete milk in paying sMantite, is to
weigh the milk from each cow for
at least three days in each month.

Why Milk Sours,
et fa e common imereeslon that
thunder sours milk, bet this is not so:
The reason that milk sours is that
minute plant, known :se bacteria,
•eon on the Auger in milk, changing
it'Into lactic or milk acid. One selen-
tist, eowever, says this explanation
Is not satisfactory. Ele regards the
souring of milk as a result of feed-
ing on milk sugar by the lactic acid
germs, leaving behind them, what is
known as sour milk,
No matter what the true explana-
tion may be in detail, WO believe that
souring of inhik is caused In some
way by "germs" or bacteria wbielt
are microscopic plants UM fall into
milk from the eir, and get in from
many other places.
Like all plants, they must have air,
suitable temperature, and moisture,
in order to grow. The common plan
of preventing the milk going sour Is
to cool it to 50 deg. F. as soon as
possible after milking and keep it
cold until it is used, Tbe reason for
this is, the cold makes an unfavor-
able condition for these plants to
grow, hence the milk remains sweet,
though sometinses it takes on bad
flavors, &r develops disease producing
germs. In order, to prevent this, we
"Pasteurize" milk in order to kill the
germs present, by means of heat. If
it is cooled and kept cold after heat-
ing, the milk will beep sweet for
some time and is free from disease
germs. This is known as the safest
kind of milk to use. "Safety First"
is a good rule when buying inn,—

CANADA'S TRADE

inonths ending Sept. 30111, 1929 show

for the same period in the preseet

less But the chief drop was in the
value of imports. Exports fell 071Iy
511,329,805 as compared with (913
totals. When it .is remembered that
last year the war was still in progress
and Canada was exporting munitions
that ceased to be made so soon as the
armistice was signed, the decrease in
exports is serprisingly low. It is clear
that our exports of a permanent char-
acter, both agricultural and of manu-
factured commodities, must have risen
above those of the war period.
Canada therefore has maintained a
great overseas market for something
more than war supplies, which she has
an opportunity of permanently holding.
But this market was only rendered
possible by the credits furnished to
Great Britaina and European countries,
Unless the Canadian people by a gen-
erous over subscription to the 1919
Victory Loan, furnish the capital where-
by these credits and this vast export
trade can be maintained, the same per-
iod of 1920 will show a shrinkage that
cannot lie restored.

The Ball is the most severe season
of the year for colds -one day is wenn,
the next is wet and cold and unless the
moths, is on her guard the little ones
are seized with colds that may hang on
all winter. Baby's Own Tablets are

dose •will prevent colds or if it does

LOAN TO DECIDE •
WHEAT,EXPORT
if Victory Loan Is a Great,Success.Can-
oda May Export 113,000,000 Bushels
OF Wheat in 1919-50.
'Gallatin may be able to export 1 1 3,-
000,000 bushels of wheat in 1 91 9-20.
This is the encouraging prospect based
upon figures from official sources,
Canada requites for home constitu-
tive purposes approximately 40,000,-
000 bushels of ivheat and for seeding
purposes about 35,000,000 according
to authorities 011 this stelject, The
Government's estimate. that the Dom-
inion's yield will run about (39,000,-
000 bushels makes it • appear possible
for Canada to export about et 1 3,000,-
000 bushels in 1919-20 or about 0,-
000,000 bushels more than „last year,
aed keep a few, million bushels for
carry-over stock on August 1St, 1920.
Of course, Canada's export trade
depends largely upon the iuccess of
the Victory Loan. Sir Thomas White,
eseFinance Minister for -(he Pemblien,
drew atteetiott to the importance of
this factwhen Ise said that, in adclition
to other credits, $170,0n0,000 had
been loaned to Great Britain hecone
nection with the single commodity of
wheat.last year. This would have been
impossible if the Victory Loan of 195,13
'had not been great success,
The circulation of this big sum meant
prosperity to vast numbers of Canad-
ians and if good limes are to be con-
tinued Canadians must lend of their

FACTSABOUT CLAY BELT

Aecount Given in Report of the

The so-called clay belt le Nortbero
Ontario and Quebec, is described in
an official report, from the view- point
of its agricultural and forest products

"While a greater portion of the
soil is of a clayey nature the hills are
largely sandy or gravelly deposits,
glacial drift with small boulders, only
occasionally does the rock come to,
or near the surface, as exhibited in
the few rock cuts on the ranee); line.
The clay suit is however, by no means
uniformly of the eame character. It
varies ili texture, color, character of
admixtures, stratification, and chemi-
cal composition, and the depth, espec-
ially of the overlying -muck or peat

Forest Conditions.
"The whole country is densely wood-
ed. Although there are twelve or
thirteen tree species, black spruce.
white spruce, balsam, tir, tamarack, jack
pine, cedar, red pine. white aspen, balm
of gilead, paper birch, black ash, moun-
tain ash, found in this northern for-
est, practically only two species form
the bulk of the composition, giving a
very uniform aspect to the country,
namely, the black spruce and the aspen.
The presence of any ,of the other
species Is an indication of improved
drainage conditions. Next to black
„spruce the most frequent and most im-
portant species is the aspen poplar
(here called whitewood) and as the
drainage improves not only does this
specie improve in numbers and size,
but also balm of gilead (balsam poplar)
4911110 spruce and balsam fir appear.
This latter, however, is not frequent.
Cedar is rarely seen, and usually of poor
development. Birch (paper) is also
not frequent and less thrifty than the
poplars. Jack pine occurs locally us-
ually as indicative of over -rained gravel-
ly soils, which it is apt to occupy ex-
clusively. The next valuable of these
rarer species, the white spruce, re-
presents hardly 20 per cent. of the
Spruces.
"The two important timber trees,
white and red pme, occer in some
very limited localities farther south,
The sporadic occurrence of black ash
is only of botanical interest.
"A very rough estimate of the oc-
currence of the different species would
give 60 to 70 per cent. In the black
spruce, 10 to 15 per cent., in the white
spruce, about 15 to 20 pen cent. to the
poplars and 5 pee cent, to the rest
"While the country is densely wood-
ed it is by no means all "timber." in-
deed from the point of view of Saw-
mill supplies, the woods are disappoint-
ing. Even for pulpwood the supply is
not what the uninitiated may suppese.
"The early explorers travelled by
carroe, and hence, reported only the
better developed timber, of targe -sized
spruce, aspen, balsam, poplar, which
skirt the rivers on the well-dirained
portions in quarter. to half mile belts,
without realizing that, in the swamps
beyond the belt, the bulk of the for-
est growth is black spruce of small
size"Hardly 10 to 15 per cent. of the
forest Is of the first class, i,e. contain-
ing sizes fit for logging. From 35 to
50 per 'cent. of the area may, by pick-,
ing, furnish small -sized pulpwood.
From 35 to 45 per cant, of the area is

Why Milk Sours,
et fa e common imereeslon that
thunder sours milk, bet this is not so:
The reason that milk sours is that
minute plant, known :se bacteria,
•eon on the Auger in milk, changing
it'Into lactic or milk acid. One selen-
tist, eowever, says this explanation
Is not satisfactory. Ele regards the
souring of milk as a result of feed-
ing on milk sugar by the lactic acid
germs, leaving behind them, what is
known as sour milk,
No matter what the true explana-
tion may be in detail, WO believe that
souring of inhik is caused In some
way by "germs" or bacteria wbielt
are microscopic plants UM fall into
milk from the eir, and get in from
many other places.
Like all plants, they must have air,
suitable temperature, and moisture,
in order to grow. The common plan
of preventing the milk going sour Is
to cool it to 50 deg. F. as soon as
possible after milking and keep it
cold until it is used, Tbe reason for
this is, the cold makes an unfavor-
able condition for these plants to
grow, hence the milk remains sweet,
though sometinses it takes on bad
flavors, &r develops disease producing
germs. In order, to prevent this, we
"Pasteurize" milk in order to kill the
germs present, by means of heat. If
it is cooled and kept cold after heat-
ing, the milk will beep sweet for
some time and is free from disease
germs. This is known as the safest
kind of milk to use. "Safety First"
is a good rule when buying inn,—

CANADA'S TRADE

inonths ending Sept. 30111, 1929 show

theueh there has been a decrease (11

301(1, 1918 was $1,087,232,880: and
for the same period in the preseet
ear 51,054,657,4e2 or 532,575,418,
less But the chief drop was in the
value of imports. Exports fell 071Iy
511,329,805 as compared with (913
totals. When it .is remembered that
last year the war was still in progress
and Canada was exporting munitions
that ceased to be made so soon as the
armistice was signed, the decrease in
exports is serprisingly low. It is clear
that our exports of a permanent char-
acter, both agricultural and of manu-
factured commodities, must have risen
above those of the war period.
Canada therefore has maintained a
great overseas market for something
more than war supplies, which she has
an opportunity of permanently holding.
But this market was only rendered
possible by the credits furnished to
Great Britaina and European countries,
Unless the Canadian people by a gen-
erous over subscription to the 1919
Victory Loan, furnish the capital where-
by these credits and this vast export
trade can be maintained, the same per-
iod of 1920 will show a shrinkage that
cannot lie restored.
GUARD THE CHILDREN
FROM AUTUMN COLDS
The Ball is the most severe season
of the year for colds -one day is wenn,
the next is wet and cold and unless the
moths, is on her guard the little ones
are seized with colds that may hang on
all winter. Baby's Own Tablets are
mothers best freind isa preventing or
banishing colds. They act as a gentle
laxative keeping the bowies and stom-
ach frie and sweet. An occasional
dose •will prevent colds or if it does
come on suddenly thee prompt use of
the Tablets will quickly releive it.
The Tablets are sold by medicine dealer
or by mail at 25 cents a box from The
Dr, Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,
Ont.
LOAN TO DECIDE •
WHEAT,EXPORT
if Victory Loan Is a Great,Success.Can-
oda May Export 113,000,000 Bushels
OF Wheat in 1919-50.
'Gallatin may be able to export 1 1 3,-
000,000 bushels of wheat in 1 91 9-20.
This is the encouraging prospect based
upon figures from official sources,
Canada requites for home constitu-
tive purposes approximately 40,000,-
000 bushels of ivheat and for seeding
purposes about 35,000,000 according
to authorities 011 this stelject, The
Government's estimate. that the Dom-
inion's yield will run about (39,000,-
000 bushels makes it • appear possible
for Canada to export about et 1 3,000,-
000 bushels in 1919-20 or about 0,-
000,000 bushels more than „last year,
aed keep a few, million bushels for
carry-over stock on August 1St, 1920.
Of course, Canada's export trade
depends largely upon the iuccess of
the Victory Loan. Sir Thomas White,
eseFinance Minister for -(he Pemblien,
drew atteetiott to the importance of
this factwhen Ise said that, in adclition
to other credits, $170,0n0,000 had
been loaned to Great Britain hecone
nection with the single commodity of
wheat.last year. This would have been
impossible if the Victory Loan of 195,13
'had not been great success,
The circulation of this big sum meant
prosperity to vast numbers of Canad-
ians and if good limes are to be con-
tinued Canadians must lend of their

The so-called clay belt le Nortbero

of its agricultural and forest products

"While a greater portion of the
soil is of a clayey nature the hills are
largely sandy or gravelly deposits,
glacial drift with small boulders, only
occasionally does the rock come to,
or near the surface, as exhibited in
the few rock cuts on the ranee); line.
The clay suit is however, by no means
uniformly of the eame character. It
varies ili texture, color, character of
admixtures, stratification, and chemi-
cal composition, and the depth, espec-
ially of the overlying -muck or peat

Forest Conditions.
"The whole country is densely wood-
ed. Although there are twelve or
thirteen tree species, black spruce.
white spruce, balsam, tir, tamarack, jack
pine, cedar, red pine. white aspen, balm
of gilead, paper birch, black ash, moun-
tain ash, found in this northern for-
est, practically only two species form
the bulk of the composition, giving a
very uniform aspect to the country,
namely, the black spruce and the aspen.
The presence of any ,of the other
species Is an indication of improved
drainage conditions. Next to black
„spruce the most frequent and most im-
portant species is the aspen poplar
(here called whitewood) and as the
drainage improves not only does this
specie improve in numbers and size,
but also balm of gilead (balsam poplar)
4911110 spruce and balsam fir appear.
This latter, however, is not frequent.
Cedar is rarely seen, and usually of poor
development. Birch (paper) is also
not frequent and less thrifty than the
poplars. Jack pine occurs locally us-
ually as indicative of over -rained gravel-
ly soils, which it is apt to occupy ex-
clusively. The next valuable of these
rarer species, the white spruce, re-
presents hardly 20 per cent. of the
Spruces.
"The two important timber trees,
white and red pme, occer in some
very limited localities farther south,
The sporadic occurrence of black ash
is only of botanical interest.
"A very rough estimate of the oc-
currence of the different species would
give 60 to 70 per cent. In the black
spruce, 10 to 15 per cent., in the white
spruce, about 15 to 20 pen cent. to the
poplars and 5 pee cent, to the rest
"While the country is densely wood-
ed it is by no means all "timber." in-
deed from the point of view of Saw-
mill supplies, the woods are disappoint-
ing. Even for pulpwood the supply is
not what the uninitiated may suppese.
"The early explorers travelled by
carroe, and hence, reported only the
better developed timber, of targe -sized
spruce, aspen, balsam, poplar, which
skirt the rivers on the well-dirained
portions in quarter. to half mile belts,
without realizing that, in the swamps
beyond the belt, the bulk of the for-
est growth is black spruce of small
size"Hardly 10 to 15 per cent. of the
forest Is of the first class, i,e. contain-
ing sizes fit for logging. From 35 to
50 per 'cent. of the area may, by pick-,
ing, furnish small -sized pulpwood.
From 35 to 45 per cant, of the area is
