HOW CANADA PROSPERS.
Imaginary Ills
Suppose that a man has an uneasy
aeneation in the locality of his heart,
which is due, let us say, to overheating
or gas on the stomach But he resins to
thick that he has heart disease. He
reads the advertisements in the uewe-
papers to find out about the symptotns,
and he finds out.
"A sense of constrictiou about the
chest." Yes, that is his difficulty ex-
actly! '•S1 girt pain on deep breathing,.
palpitation of the heart after vigorocs
exercise"—it is evidently a very Betimes
case. He begins to worry about it
Worry interferes with his sleep. It in•
terferes also with his digestion; he does
not get well nourished.
Bad sleep and bad digestion make him
worse, Each one aggravates the other,
and all the time he keeps thinking
about his heart. In the end, his think-
ing otaally effete s his condition, until
he succeeds in fastening on himself a
functional ditiionity which may be a
really serious and permanent trouble—
and the whole of it can be traced back
to his crooked thinking about that little
paiu in his cheef.
This is no pt -able. It is the record
of hundreds of actual cases. Every physi-
cian comes into contact with them
A man who keeps worrying about the
state of his liver will almost be sure to
have trouble with it eventually. Indi-
gestion .pan be brought ou in the same
way and a long list of other ailments.—
Sir Wilfrid when advocating in Op•
position the policy of the Liberal party
told the people that when that policy
should be adopted they would not need
arguments from statistics to convince
them that they were prosperous; they
would feel prosperity in their pocke's.
His word has been made good. Canada
prospers amazingly, and her people feel
the evidences in their pockets and see
them on every hand. Bat statistics
help to measure the advance we have
made withiu recent years, and the felt
lowing will be of interest. The figures
are given in millions of dollars;
Imports in 1875, 123 millions; 1895,
110; 19 )5, 266
Exports in 1375, 77 millions; 1875, 113;
1905 203.
Total foreign trade in 1875, 200 mil -
ions; 1895, 224; 1905, 470; 1905, 550.
Deposits in chartered banks in 1875,
61 millions; in 1895, 182; in 1905, 468
Di Donuts—Chartered hanks, in 1875,
136 millions; 1895, 224; 1905, 480.
Miles of railway in operation, 1875,
4,804; in 1893, 15,977; in 1905, 20,487.
Railway freights carried in 1895, 21.-
524 421 tons; in 1905, 50,893,957 touts.
Consolidated Fund revenue, 1875, 24
millions; 1895, 33; 1905, 71.
Consolidated Fend Disbursements,
1875, 23 millions; 1895, 38; 1905, 63.
Total disbursements, 1875, 32 millions,
1895, 42 millions; 1905, 78.
Those figures show immense growth
and expansion in trade, in revenue and
in disbu s°ments. The national disbur-
sements_ for all purposes increased in the
years 1895 to 1903 about 83 3 4 par cent.
In the same time the following were the
increases in business done:
Total trade increa e in ten years, 129
1 2 per cent.; including 1905 175 per
cent.
Consolidated Fund Revenue increase,
109 12 per cent.
Chartered Bank deposits increase, 156
per cent.
Disooants increase 114 per cent.
Railway freight increase, 136 per cent.
Great public works aro being construct-
ed ; the transportation interests of the
c inntry ate being improved; settlement
is being encouraged and the vast natur-
al resources of Canada brought to nso-
falness This costs money, bat it is
worth the price. The harvest is un -
hounded prosperity.
Pale, Weak,
Anaemic Girls
11 NAEMIA or bloodlessness is indi-
cated by paleness of the lips, the
gums and eyelids, and is most frequently
found in girls and young women.
Other symptoms are deficient appe-
tite, impaired digestion, irritable temper,
shortness of breath, dizziness fainting.
headache, easily fatigued, depression,
and despondency.
The blood is lacking in the life sus-
taining power which is necessary to the
proper working of the bodily organs, and
can only be restored by the use of such a
blood•forming preparation as Dr. Chase's
Nerve Food,
On account of the way in which Dr.
Chase's Nerve Food enriches the blood
and builds up the system, it is beyond
doubt the most effective treatment for
anaemia and similar wasting disease that
was ever compounded. Note your in-
crease in weight while using it.

Eat What
You Like
Don't Starve or Diet, but use Ml-o-na
and Cure Your Stomach Troubles.
The average treatment of stomach
troubles cousists of a rigid diet list,
which often half starves the patient. Of
course it would be foolish or anyone
who knows that some foo are positive-
ly harmfnl and poisouo s, to continue
eating them, even whi following the
1i o-ua treatment, bu in ordin'sry cases
of stomach Cron e t is not necessary
to starve or diet i i-o-na is faithfully
used, a tablet before each meal.
This scientific remedy for the cure of
stomach troubles, acts upon the whole
digestive system, and strengthens the
organs so that they are able to digest any
food that is eaten without fear of dis-
tress. If you suffer from igss of appetite,
belching of gases, sour taste iu the
mouth, furred tongue, severe pains in
the region of the stomach, depression of
spirits, bad' dreams, lack of energy,
headaches, back aches, loss of strength
and weight, you can be assured that
these troubles are all dne to imperfect
digestio:i.
Strengthen the stomach by taking a
Mi-o-na tablet before each meal, and
soon you will gain in weight, strength
will return, and your food will give
nourishment so that the rich red blood
will carry good health to every part of
your system.
Mi-o•ua costs bat 50 cents a box.
If you cannot obtain Mi-o•na of your
druggist, it.will be sent by mail, post-
paid, on receipt of price. Write us for
advice on your case from a leading
stomach specialist which will be sent
free. The R. T. Booth Company, Ithaca,

Hot Weather Hints
For the Business Woman
Pat on something fresh and clean
every morning. Even a new neck ruffle
makes the entire dress feel cool and fresh.
Have two gingham or linen shirtwaist
snits of a serviceable color to were when
cloth skirts are too warm.
Remember that very transparent lin-
gerie blouses are out of place in a busi•
teas office, and are really very little cool-
er than those of a little closer weave.
Wear a comfortable walking slipper
or shoe. Nothing heats the wearer so
much as a tight boot or heavy shoe.
If possible adopt a cool method of dress-
ing the hair, trying to avoid puffing or
faire pompadours, which heat the brain
in hot weather.
Select a hat whish will keep the direct
glare of the sun from your eyes.
Try not to get exeited or worried over
the work, try to take things camly and
do not make matters worse by hasty
movements, which are not only heating,
but often necessitates retrasing weary
footsteps.
Do not subsist on ice cream or soda
water for lunoh. The body requiresgood
wholesome food in warm weather as in
cold, and a more nourishing meal is best.
Do not walk to rapidly in the sun after
eating.
If possible try to get through with the
heaviest part of the work early in the
day, when mind and body are fresh.
Try to leave all thoughts of business
at the office and not allow it to cross the
mind at home.
Do not drink too much (ice water dur•
ing the day; it produces perspiration and
is bad for the system generally.
When very warns try holding the wrists
in cold running water for a few minutes.
The blood vessels aro near the surface on
the under side of the wrist, and the blood
ie coelsd easily at this point.
Upon reaching home at night try, if
possible, to get a hath before dinner,
Have the water warm at first, but grad -
cool it. Put on fresh clothing -tor
the evening.
TWENTY YEARS AGO
(Froin THE WINGIIAM Tmtxs of
'Friday, August 6th, 1886.)
ono SIOEWALICS• •
The sidewalks in this town are in -a
most deplorable and shameful state. In
fact there ;s not a pertect one inside the
corporation, and it is high time that
something was being done to improve
their condition. The policy of economy
heretofore pursued by the council in re-
spect to our sidewalks has been a mis-
taken one.
LOCAL NEWS,
Thos Netterfield has been awarded
the contract for the stoue work of the
nes out house at the public school for
1:119
D i IcCrimmon, who recently disposed
of his stove and tinware business, has
opened a hardware store in Tamlyn's
block, in the store formerly occupied by
Wm, Mullen.
Jas. Inglis, of this town, has growing
in his garden a pea vine which has al-
ready borne a crop of peas, and is again
in blossotn and pods are forming the
second time. The vine is of "cliss'
American Wonder" variety.
The Lundation of the new brick block
being erected by Thos. Gregory was
commenced on Wednesday last and the
bu )ding is now ander way. The founda-
tion for Dr. Towler's new house is com-
pleted and the brick masons will soon be
at work.
Whits George Ireland and Richard
Shri ley were patting on the Cornish on
the new residence of the former on
Tuesday last the scaffolding upon which
they were standing broke and fell to the
ground, carrying with it its occupants.
In the fall the former sprained his left
ankle very badly and the latter beiug Un-
fortunate enough to light in a water
barrel, had one of his lege pretty baldly
barked.
The council on Mouday night decided
to offer John Croydon $75 to settle his
claim for damages against the corpora-
tion. It will be remembered that last
winter Mr. Croydea had his leg seriously
injured by going through a defective
sidewalk, and was laid up several weeks.
The matter has hung fire ever since un-
til Monday night, when the council
offered the $75 as a compromise. Mr.
Croydeu has not as yet decided to accept
or refuse.
The many friends of Ohas: Carr will
be pained to learn of this present critical
cond tion. It appears that in his busi-
ness (milliug) a great deal of grain and
flour has to be handled in bags and of
course a great deal of it is carried on the
shoulder. As soon as he found out his
trouble he went to Toronto for exami-
nation and the doctors pronounced it
curvature of the spine. He is now com-
pelled to lie on his back, and will have
to do so for about five weeks yet.

In summer when he is residing on
his estate in the north of Portugal he
makes many water color sketches o`
the young natives of that region. They,
knowing .their king's fondness for
sketching them, seek every occasion
for crossing his path. One girl who
was about to be married recently
wrote him, saying that in honor of
the coming event she would like to
have ore of the sketches which he
had doubtless made of her. The king,
greatly amused, summoned her to his
presence, and, quickly sketching her
portrait, presented it to her as a wed-
ding gift. A week after another
pretty girl asked the name favor or

The New Orieana organ man is not,
as in most cities, an Italian, but a
negro. He is usually young and al-
ways strong, since the up-to-date
street music box is a mighty machine
and requires as much muscle as skill
to manage properly. Numa Pompiltua
is a familiar New Orleans type, and
may be seen grinding in all parts of
the town from early morning until
midnight. To the casual observer,
says the Metropolitan, this may ap-
pear a monotonous vocation, but
Numa does not think so; anything is
better than pushing a go-cart or
working in the fields. The pickanin-
nies who follow Numa from corner to
corner know his fondness for cigars.
He, on the other hand, known their de-
light in turning the organ crank. Here,
then, is a fine opportunity for com-
