WINTER BRINGS WONK
50,000,000 Bushels of Gratin Stilt
Untltreshetl iu Northwestt- ;•
A despatch from Winnipeg'says:
Further details of the North•Weet
Grain Dealers' Association, report
on the crop situation tend to make
the outlook not only for this yeit',
but also for next year anything but
bright. The report says that only
70 per cent. of the grain has yet,
been threshed, and about 50,000.000
bushels (estimated) remain in the
stack with no immediate prospect of
seeing a separator. The setting in
of a thaw would almost ruin it, or
at least reduce it several grades:'
The report is not hopeful of the -
grain threshed, saying that 60 per
cent. of it is four or . under. Of the
50,000000 bushelsremaining in the
West, half will be needed for `seed
and feed. The prospect is darken-
ed by the announcement that very
little Pall plowing has been done,
owing to the sudden setting in of
Winter, and that means delay in the
Spring.

and cafe. The central feature of
the main floor is the circular tea
room of impressive and beautiful
design, unbroken by column, lofty
in heighth, and finely lighted by
broad windows and circular domed
ceiling.
The ball room, banquet hall and
foyer have been located on the sev-
enth floor. These rooms are of the
richest of the public rooms, and
have been so arranged with separ-
ate kitchen service, reception and
dressing rooms, so as to in no way
interfere with the privileges of the
guests of the hotel.. The ball room.
is designed in the Louis Quartorize
period, and will be beyond all ques-
tion one of the most strik'ng of its
kind in Canada.
The building, as a whole, will
form a fine example of what mod-
ern science can do in :Ale elimina-
tion of fire risk. Every .girder, beam
and rafter is to be of non -expansive
steel, every partition of terra cotta,
ever' 'floni ' 'tiitibletlio or be
went, and the stairways of iron. It
is to be absolutely fireproof; and
while every precaution has been
taken to insure absolute protection
to life and property, an equal mea-
sure of attention has been devoted
to its sanitation and the safeguard-
ing of health.
The bathrooms are to be models
of sanitation and simplicity and are
to be equipped with porcelain fit-
tings and finished in exquisite tile
work. They are of comfortable
size, and so placed as to be in direct
communication with every bed-
chamber in the hotel.
There is not to be a dark or unin-
viting chamber in the entire build-
ing, and comfort and spaciousness
have not been sacrificed to secure
a maximum of accommodation.
Large closets have been provided in
every bedchamber, and in the
suites there are commodious clothes
presses equipped throughout with
every modern device.

COFFEE HEART
As Dangerous as the Tobacco or
Whiskey heart.
"Coffee heart" is common to
many coffee users and is liable to
send the owner to his or her: long
home if the drug is persisted in.. You
can run 30 or 40 yards and find out
if your heart is troubled. A lady'
who was once a victim of the "cof-
fee heart" writes from Oregon:
"I have been a habitual user of
coffee all my life and have suffered
very much in recent years from ail
ments which I became satisfied were`'.
directly due to the poison in the
beverage, such as torpid liver and
indigestion, which in turn made my.
complexion blotchy and muddy.

ONTARIO'S SUBSIDY GROWS.
Payment by Federal -Government
Will Increase Next Year.
A. despatch froze. Toronto says:
Ontario's subsidy from the Federel
Govornment will be increased by.
$270,000 as a result of the growth of
population shown bythe recent cen-
sus. As the population now exceeds
2,500,000, however, the rate of pay -
men t
ay-ment will be reduced from 80 cents
to 60 cents a head. Until 1907 the;
subsidy was paid at the rate of 80
cents a head on the basis o•f the po-
pulation in 1861. At the Previte.,
cial Conference of 1907, however,'`.
it was arranged that the subsidy'
should always be calculated upon
the population as indicated by the;
last previous census. Until the;
present it has been paid bn they;
number of people in Ontario in 1001;
The increased subsidy will be pais'
for the first time next year.
