A despatch from Toronto says: The • large decrease in the rural population of Ontario, indicated by an examination of the census fig- ures issued at Ottawa, is no sur- prise for the officials of the De- partment of Agriculture, nor is it occasioning them any particular concern. The returns show that forty-seven cities and towns in the ° Provinces show an increase of some 544,000, while the Province gen- erally had an increase of but 336,- 000. The decrease of eight thous- and is probably considerably below the actual figures, since many towns under four thousand popula- tion must have shown gains, The reports to the Department of Agri- culture have, until the past year, shown steady decrease in the rural population, but last year's annual report showed a gain, the first in a. decade, "The increase was small -only about four thousand - but it looks like the turning point," said Mr. C. C. James, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, in referr- ing to the matter SUFFERERS FROM PILES! Zam-Buk Has Cured These! Friction on the hemorrhoid veins that are swollen, inflamed' and gorged with blood, is what causes the terrible pain and stinging and smarting of piles. Zam-Buk ap- plied at night will be found to give ease before morning. Mr. Thomas Pearson, of Prince 'Albert, Sask., writes : "I must thank you for the benefit I have re- ceived from Zam-Buk. Last sum- mer I suffered greatly from piles. I started to use Zam-Buk and found it gave me relief, so I continued it, and after using three or four boxes it effected a complete cure." Magistrate Sanford, of Weston, King's Co., N.S., says: "I suffer- ed long from itching piles, but Zam- Buk has now cured me." Mr. William Kenty, of Upper 14Tine Mile River, Hants Co., N. S. says : "I suffered terribly from piles, the pain at times being al- most unbearable, I tried various ointments, but everything I tried failed to do me the slightest good. 1 was tired of trying various reme- dies, when I heard of Zam-Buk, and thought as a last resource I would give this balm a trial. After a very short time Zam-Buk effected a complete cure." Zam-Buk is also a sure cure for akin injuries and diseases, eczema, ,ulcers, varicose veins, cuts, burns, bruises, chaps, cold sores, etc. 50c. box all druggists and stores, or post free from Zam-Buk Co., Toronto, for price.

MURDERERS FOUND DEAD. The Lighthouse Keeper Killed on Pie Island. A despatch from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., says: A party of hunters, who arrived here on Fri- day afternoon from the north shore. tell a strange story of what is believed to be the murder of Robert Forbes, a lighthousekeeper on Pie Island, twenty-five miles from Fort William. Forbes' body was found in his station on the Isl- and with the head battered in. The subsequent finding of the bodies of two Indians, who had died after drinking wood alcohol, is believed to explain the murder. It has been determined that the alcohol was taken from the lighthouse, and the police believe the Indians kill- ed Forbes to get at the liquor, which they thought was good to drink. The Indians evidently drained a gallon cask of the poi- sonous liquid. Both were found lying side by side with the empty cask between them. ITALIANS RECEIVE CIIECK.

A despatch from Parry Sound says,: The body of Miss Violet Snaith of Toronto, the nineteen - year -old school teacher at Dillon's Port, who disappeared from the home of Mr. Peter Ramsay, where she was boarding, on the morning, of October 9, at 7.30 o'clock, was brought to the surface of the She- basllekong River at 11.30 o'clock Thursday morning by Captain Brock Patten of Port Arthur, brother-in-law of the deceased, after he had dragged the little river for some time. Though the mystery as to the fate of the missing teacher has been solved, the mystery as to how 'her life was ended has, yet to be cleared up. Though suicide im, mediately suggests itself as an ex- planation, it is understood that no tracks leading to the place opposite the spot in the river where the body was discovered were discern- ible. There is then some uncertainty as to how Miss Smith got into the river. It was suggested that she jumped off the bridge over the She- bashekong River, but there is no current to carry the body midway between the bridges. Neither Captain Batten nor Mr. Beatty ex- amined the body to find any marks of foul play or any note of explana- tion. $3 to $10 each.

One sort of diet may make a per- son despondent, depressed and blue and a change to the kind of food the body demands will change the whole thing. A young woman from Phila. says : "For several years I kept in a rundown, miserable sort of condi- tion, was depressed and apprehen- sive of trouble. I lost flesh in a distressing way and seemed in a perpetual sort of dreamy nightmare. No one serious disease showed, but the `all-over' sickness was enough. `.`Finally between the doctor and"father I was put on Grape - Nuts and cream,, as it was decided I must have nourishing food that the body could make use of. "The wonderful change that came over me was not, like . Jonah's gourd, the growth of a single night, and yet it came with a rapidity that astonished me. "During the first week I gained in weight, my spirits improved, and the world began to look brighter and more worth while. "And this has continued steadily, till now, after the use of Grape - Nuts for only, a few weeks, I am perfectly well, feel splendidly, take alively interest in everything, and am a changed person in every way."

In Great Britain no one is allowed to sell alum hidden in baking -pow- der, because the English law pro- tects the people frhmthis injurious acid. Canada has not yet enacted a law against the use of alum, and as alum in baking -powder cannot be detected by its appearance, many manufacturers are using this con- demned acid because It is a cheap adulterant. It is a fact that alum in your stomach produces the same dis- agreeable results to the delicate organism as you will feel in your mouth by putting a tiny piece on your tongue. Science shows that alum reduces the flow of the gastric juices and weakens their power of assimilation, causing indigestion and the ills that follow. No housewife should buy a bak- ing -powder made by a manufactur- er that is afraid to print the ingre- dients plainly on the label of each can, and the wording should state that there is no alum in disguise inside.
