The two purposes the Government had set itself, he said, were to attract and to retain the rural population on the land, and to devise means to' develop both the quantity and the quality of the total agricultural production of the British Isles, Everything, he asserted, would be sehordinated to the attainment of these two objects. As the first step, said the Chancellor, it was pro- posed to establish a Ministry "of Lands, with control and supervi- sion of all questions dealing with the users of land both in town and country, and the functions of the present Board of Agriculture would be transferred to the new Ministry. The Government, he said,,intendeet to take the land out of Chancery. Hereafter if a. landlord found that "some silly settlement" hampered his schemes for improving his land he could apply to the Ministry of -Lands, which would enable him to override the barrier, The new Min- istry, he continued, would operate through commissioners, Who would act in a judidial capacity, and have the same power to reduce rents on small farms as the Scottish courts now possess. -Large farmers also - would have the right to appeal to the commissioners for a reduction of ren' -)if the action of the State caused a. Aim in the wages of the farm laborer. In wear an event the landlord would have to come in as a contributor, and in times of groat agricultural depression 'a tempor- ary lessening. of the rent would be obtainable. . The new Minister of Lands, ac- cording to the Chancellor, is to be given full power to aequire at a reasonable price ell waste, derelict and neglected treats of land and to plant them with forests, and to re- claim and drain the springs on such lands with a view to their cultiva- tion to the full limit of their possi- bilities, The Ministry is to be not only empowered but instructed to act, and the resources of the State would be placed at its disposal for this purpose. If men want sport, said the Chancellor, it Must be at their own expense, and the game laws would be revised in this direc- tion. • The establishment of a fair mini- mum wage for laborers with rea- sonable hours of work, decent hous- ing and the prospect of the laborer obtaining a. bit of. land for himself, would all be within the scope of the powers of the Oqmmissioners, who would have authority to fix the price of the land in the case of com- pulsory acquisition. The Govern - merit proposed, the Chancellor con- cluded, to remedy the grave defi- cieney of cottages in the country by building some thernaelves with State funds, and "we have got a nice little fund at hand -the insur- ance reserve fund." The announcement ' of the land proposals- by Chancellor Lloyd George was made by an absolute and unanimous decision reached at recent meetings of the Cabinet. 1113 OF FARM PRODUCTS RePORTS FROM THE LEADING TOADS CENTRES OP AMERICA. trleee et Cattle, Crain, Cheese and Other endues at Home and Abroad.

In this changeable climate It is the little colds that drift into Catarrh. Unless the inflammation Is checked it Passes rapidly from the throat or nose to the bronchial tubes and then to the lungs. You can't make new lungs any more than you can make new fingers or toes, but you can cure Catarrh. The surest cure consists of breath- ing in the healing balsamic essences of CATAHRTIOZONE, which is simply a medicated vapor so full of rich cur- ative properties that every trace of Catarrh vanishes before it "The soothing piney varier of Ca. tarrhozone is the most powerful medi- cine I ever used," writes Mrs. Bilmond Christine, of Saskatoon. "Every breath drawn through the Inhaler sends a grateful feeling through the air passages of the nose and throat. Catarrhozone cured me of frightful headaches over the eyes, relieved me of a stuffy feeling in the nose, and an, irritable hacking cough that had been the bane of my life for a year. My general health is greatly improved, any appetite and digestion are consid. erably better than before. Catarrh - ozone has been the means of giving me such health as I always desired, but never possessed."

Best ribs 22 to 25 cents. Other duts increased -234 cents per pound. Wholesale price for car- cases 93% to 13 cents per pound.
