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 CATARRHOZONE, which is simply a medicated vapor so full of rich cur- ative properties that every trace of Catarrh vanishes before it. "The soothing piney vapor of Ca- tarrhozone is the most, powerful medi- cine I ever used," writes Mrs. Edmond J. 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, my 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." Even though catarrh has a firm hold on you, and affects your throat, Bose or ears, you can thoroughly cure "fit with Catarrhozon.e.

The Milwaukee Brigade Suffers a Terrible Loss. A despatch from Milwaukee, Wis., says: Seven dead firemen and 24 injured were taken from the ruins of the .store of the Goodyear Rubber Company hero on Sunday night in a fire which caused a loss of $500,000, It is believed there are •several more bodies in the ruins. The flames broke out on 'the second door, and while the firemen were Zghting the blaze from the front and rear an explosion sent the 'walls crashing down on fifty fire- men. Windows for blocks around were smashed. and the flames spread to adjoining buildings, Rescue companies were sent into the ,blaz- ing mass, and the 'bodies of the dead and injured were taken out. • Practically the entire fire -fighting apparatus, of the City was called to the scene,' 'which is in the heart of the business section. OUR EXPORTS ARE GROWING. Figures for September Show an In- crease of About $11,000,009. A despatch from Ottawa says: A striking feature in the statement of the trade of Canada for the month of September, issued by Hon. J. D. Reid, Minister of Customs, is the decrease of imports and the in- crease of exports. Dutiable goods to the value of $37,997,000 and free goods to the amount of $16,342,000 were imported during September last. The imports for the corres- ponding month of 1912 were $38,- 548,000 dutiable goods, and $19,- 307,000 of free goods. Exports for last September were $37,048,000 of domestic goods and $4,071,000 of foreign goods, as against $25,814,- 000 domestic and $3,153,000 foreign for September, 1912. The total ex- ports for the six months ending September 30th last were, all of domestic goods, $188,405,000, and foreign goods, $22,842,000, as against $162,427,000 of domestic and $15,972,000 foreign for the six months ending September 30th, 1912. The exports of agricultural pro- duce show a big increase, being $11,829,000 for September, 1913, compared with $5,575,000 for Sep- tember, 1912. There are big in- creases in exports all along the lino. Exports of minerals for Sep- tember last were $6,402,000, and for the previous September, $5,278,000. Exports of manufactures also show an increase, being $5,041,000 for September, 1913, as against $3,587,- 000 for September, 1912. Canadian trade was never in a more prosperous condition, as the total Canadian trade for September last was close upon one hundred millions, the actual figures being $95,665,000, compared with $87,- 606,000 for September, 1912. For the first six months of the present fiscal year ending Stptember 30th last, total. Canadian trade was $551,978,000, compared with $506,- 265,000 for the corresponding six months of the fiscal year 1912. FELL DOWN MINE SHAFT. Every Bone In the Minor's Body Was Broken.

Men ' Blame the Oteamship •Compaulea. .7 -A despatoh frain nays; Montreal is losing her grain trade, and Buffalo and Portland are ra- pidly getting it, Thereis room in the Harbor Colnniissioners' 'eleva- tors at 'present for two,million bushels of grain, and nob an ocean boat is loading in the port . with grain. There is a reason for this,. according to grain men, who say the steamship companies are, to blame, Earlier in the season they say, the companies were asking ex- orbitant prices to carry the grain from this port to Europe, and con- sequently local shippers were forced to make terms with' the steamship companies running out of American ports. The situation at present is very serious. The Harbor Commission- ers recognize this, and on Thursday evening they left, accompanied by Mr. Me P. Fennell, for Buffalo, to study conditions there and to learn why that city is getting a portion of Montreal's grain trade. ELECTRIFYING THE C.P.R. The President Says It Will Be the . Mountain Section Only. A despatch from Winnipeg says: Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, who arrived here on Wednesday morning from Minneapolis on a business trip, laughed at the report which came from Milwaukee credit- ing him with stating that the whole C.P.R. system might be electrified. What he had stated was that it was the intention to electrify Rogers Pass tunnel, and if this proved suc- cessful in operation electrification would be extended over the moun- tain division from Revelstoke to Field, B.C. Sir Thomas also denied the report in London that Canadian Pacific interests were to be split into three parts.

In fact they are a cure for all the minor ills of little ones and a box should always be kept in the house as a safeguard .against sud- den attacks of stomach or bowel troubles. Mrs. J. P, Richard, St. Norbert, N.B., says: "I have found Baby's Own Tablets all that is claimed for them. My baby suffer- ed from 'lie stomach and bowels and the Tablets certainly did him good."

In such an event the landlord would have to come i Chancellor Would Retain People on Land and Enhance Production. A despatch from Swindon, Eng- land, says: Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, Lloyd George, on Wed- nesday afternoon dotted the "i's" and crossed the "t's" of the speech in which he inaugurated the Gov- ernment's land campaign at Bed- ford on October 11. Ho then said that it was his object to "free Bri- tish land from landlordism and get the people back on it." 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 subordinated 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. Tile Government, he said, intended 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, judicial capacity, and have the same power to reduce rents on small farms as the Scottish courts new possess, Large farmers also would have the right to appeal to the coinmisaionei's for a reduction of rent if the action of the State n as a contributor, and in times of great 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 acquire at a reasonable price all waste, derelict and neglected tracts 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. Tho 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 Commissioners, who would have authority to fix the price of the land in the ease of com- pulsory acquisition, The Govern- ment proposed, the Chancellor con - eluded, to remedy the grave defi- ciency of cottages in the country by building some themselves with State funds, and "we have got a nine 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.
