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, — "OUR ADVERTISING RATES.".

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.

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.

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.

CANADA'S TRADE STABILITY Statistics furnished by the, Finance Depart ment at Ottawa for the six inonths ending Sept. 30111, 1929 show a most encouraging state of afTeirs, even theueh there has been a decrease (11 Canada's total trade tie cutup:trod with the sante six months of. 19 1 8. 'the (eta: value of Canadian trade, expert and import Dem April 1st to Sept. 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.

'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.

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.

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,— Prof. El. EL Dean, 0. A. College, Guelph. CANADA'S TRADE STABILITY Statistics furnished by the, Finance Depart ment at Ottawa for the six inonths ending Sept. 30111, 1929 show a most encouraging state of afTeirs, even theueh there has been a decrease (11 Canada's total trade tie cutup:trod with the sante six months of. 19 1 8. 'the (eta: value of Canadian trade, expert and import Dem April 1st to Sept. 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.

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 profits and their Savings with equal enthusiathl for the Victory Loan of this year, BLAMING EVE AGAIN Visitor: "What brought you here" Prisorsen "I oleos me downfall to Woman," Vieitor: "How WAS Wet (1151 nIy poor man?"

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.
