Bushy, who was Perrnanantly Cured of Chronic Lumbago by “Nerviline.” . •‘Three years ago i discovered that a man subject to lumbago might just as well be dead as alive,” These words open the sincere, straightfor­ ward letter of H. P. Bushy, a well- known man in the plumbing and tin­ smithing business in Portland, "One attack came after another, and lumbago got to be a chronic thing with me. I could scarcely get in a day’s work before the knifing, cruel pain would attack my back. I used a gallon of liniments and not one of them seemed penetrating enough to get at the core of the pain. 1 read in the Montreal Witness about Ner- viline, and 'got five bottles. It is a wonderful medicine— I could feel its soothing, pain-relieving action every time it was applied. When I got the disease under control with Nerviline, I built up my strength and fortified my blood by taking Fer- rozone at meals. This treatment cured me permanently, and I urge everyone to give up the thick, white, oily liniments they are using, and try an up-to-date, penetrating, pain-de- strover like Nerviline. “Please publish my letter the world .over. I want all to hear of Nerviline.” , Don’t be cajoled into receiving any­ thing from your dealer but Nerviline. Large bottles 25c, five for $1.00.

GENERAL PROSPERITY IN THE WEST The same condition prevails generally in the West. Merchants in small towns report an increase of trade amounting to twenty five per cent, and places the growth of general store business as high as 150 per cent in the last two Aears In some cases. Of course, this heavy in­ crease has been brought about by the gjjod crops ot the last two years and 4he upward flight of wheat prices. The combination has put millions into the pockets of the Western farmers and, through that medium, into the coffers of the business men of the West, Crop returns for Manitoba show the total grain crop of this province to be 113,- 504,484 bushels, and that up to Decem­ ber 1, the farmers of Manitoba had marketed about 61 per cent of their crop or 27,994,949 bushels. It is well known that farmers generally have held their grain back this year and that there is still a heavy stack in their hands which will be sold later, a guarantee of con­ tinued easy circumstances for the farmer of the West. Added to the grain crop and its cash return to the farmers, are monies from other farm products such as cattle, horses, dairy products, poultry and mixed farming crops—a very con­ siderable item in the accounting. HEAVY IMMIGRATION, TOO Not the11 least of the additions that have been made in 1909 to the wealth of the West has been derived from im­ migration that has taken place from the United States, When an estimate was made last Spring that 75,ooo'immi- grants would enter Western Canada from tbe United States during 1909, the forecast was considered hopelessly extravagant. Figures that record the United States immigration to Novem­ ber r, show that the estimate is likely to fall short of the actuality. Up to November 1, no less than 65,755 farmer residents of United States had en­ tered Western Canada as permanent set- , tiers and there was no failing off in the rush. This number contrasted with the 38,844 for a like period of 1908, shows a very great increase in the attractiveness of Western Cauada in the eyes of the people of the States and the movement toward the rich and low priced lands of the Last' West is said'to have just begun so that a much greater influx of settlers from the same source is. expected for 1910. Estimates of actual addition, in cash or its equivalent in farm stock and equipment, to tbe assets of the West by means of tile United Stales immigration, -place the amount of.this increase at from fifty-to seventy-five million dollars and the larger sum seems to be the more likely in the light of returns made bv settlers of this class who cross tbe bord­ er. HOLIDAY TRITS THE VOGUE Another striking indication of the prosperity of the West is the number of people who have taken trips to their former homes for the holidays. Thous­ ands have done this, many|| going to Eastern Canada, some to the States and a very great many to the Old Count:y. The transcontinental and ocean travel has been extremely heavy on this ac­ count and many old homes will be en­ livened by the return of those who went West a few years ago and who return with stories of prosperity and good fortune in their new homes. This practical form of advertisement will be a big help toward further immigration and on the threshold of 1910. the West sees ahead to a year of even greater advance­ ment than that which is nearly at its close.

This is a matter whioh every intelligent voter must settle at .the bar of his own conscience, remembering that the result will not end here but will extend far into eternity and face him when the promoters of the B-A-R have passed on to judgment, The iniquity of the traffic cannot be denied, for even mpn who uphold it have said repeatedly, “It is a bad business ; W0,are only in it for the money we make out of it.” It is said the church could abolish the bar if it would. There are unquestionably many municipalities in this Province in which bar-rooms are operating to-day anil actively and ener­ getically undoing the work that the church is trying to accomplish, where if the churches said “Go” to the bar-rooms they would have to go. .Why the churches not say it ? ( . Better be mum and always; dumb ' Than pray with some, “Thy Kingdom come” And vote for rum. What Ontario Statesmen Say Hon. A. G. McKay says “I now see myTnistake in opposing for Owen Sound, I believe the bar-room must go in this Province.” The Hon. Mr. Hanna declares that all Ontario hotel-keepers must provide accommodation equal to the rates they charge. . He thinks there should be a good profit in th'e hotel business itself, and there should be no necessity of depending upon the receipts of the bar. We fear if lie talks this way some of our good hotel-keepers will imagine that he has been inoculated with the temperance virus.—Christian Guardian. "There lias come to me what comes ’ to the lives of most men who have passed middle age : the longing to do something or to be identified with something that will be ot lasting advantage to the world,” was the declaration of Sir James Whitney* who presided at the great gathering which assembled in Massey Hall, Toronto, re­ cently to commemorate the 21st anniversary of the commencement of'the Canadian Temperance League’s worm in Toronto. "I desire as a citizen of Ontario,” continued the Premier, “to join in every reasonable effort to diminish and minimize the terrible evils of the drink habit. 1 will not say that has been my position for many years, but it has been my desire for some time past, and I appreciate the opportunity of taking part in these pro­ ceedings. “I have been told,” f_________ _... M in public positions should hesitate to give expression to all their convictions for fear of tile consequences. You hear that sort of thing on the street corners; you sometimes read it in the news­ papers. Well, such a course may be worldly wise in a measurable degree, but I’ have never been accused of hesitating to express my may be wise or unwise,"’but I have been accustomed to it too long - to change now. “So I say to you frankly, I am prepared to join in every reason­ able movement which is shown to me to have for its object the min­ imizing and ultimate doing away with the evils of the drink habit. And having said that, let me add, with the earnestness of one Who has seen and known, that if the time comes when the most ardent advocate of doing away with everything associated with the liquor evilwill joiii hands with those of his fellows—perhaps some of them nob even total abstainers—who are prepared to do at least some­ thing to lessen it, a coalition will be formed which will enable the cause of temperance to make more progress in one year than was ever dreamed possible.” i • ® nun. xx. u. xu.uxxcvj' sayo •— x x»v>v see luy misitllie ill upyuoiup; • • Local Option.

The following is taken from “The Canadian Fish an Game” Magazine The nicest little shoot ever held was at the thriving town of Brussels on Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 24th and 25th. The men behind the guns were our old friend D. M. Scott, of Hamilton ; Yelept Scotty, of that ilk, and that prince of good fellows, W. M. Sinclair. Scotty shouldered his spade and went out and dug the pit for the traps with his own fair hands. Rumor says he swiped the lumber, but auyway he built the house also, while Bill Sin­ clair looked after details. Scotty also ran the program even to writing up the aids., which shows him to be a very versatile gentlemau. However, every­ thing was in readiness for the big shoot on Tuesday evening when we arrived. The Toronto contingent consisted of Geo. Dunk and us, and we were joined by Court Thompson at Palmerston. We were met at the station by the Secretary and driven down to the American Hotel. Here we found an old friend in the proprietor, Harry James, the old lacrosse player, and were given the heartiest kind of wel­ come. After introductions to the genial President, we were taken out to see the town, and of course called on good old Joe Querrin, of theQueen’s Hotel, who in older to keep the bunch over Sunday, promptly offered his dog for a rabbit hunt. We then went across to see Bill Emigh and G. Mc­ Donald, of the Central. Bill received us with Highland honors but he put both feeton the table,' and nearly had some of us under' it. Everybody knows Gordon McDonald. He is captain of the champion Brussels foot­ ball team that has yet. to know defeat. Have you ever been in Brussels ? If not there is a treat in store for you. Brussels is one of the prettiest little towns iu Canada. It has an air of prosperity stamped all over it. The streets are wide and with fine cement pavements, while the stores are fully equal to those in large cities. The business men are most progressive, where the interest of the town is at heart, and quickly responded to the appeal of the Gun Olub, so much so. that they had tbe finest list of valuable merchandise prizes ever handed out and so many oi them, that every man who pulled a trigger in this event got a prize. The first day, Wednesday, was beautiful, bright and sunny. As they had had a fierce rain storm two days before, and had then turned cold, the water on all the trees, wires, &c., had turned to ice, and the town was a true fairyland. It looked just like a Christ­ mas card. The Gun Olub had made excellent; arrangements for the comfort of their guests, even to providing a comfort­ able conveyance, with a King of Jehus to and from the grounds. J. E. Hovey opened the shoot in a few, well chosen words of congratula­ tion, and Referee A. O. Dames and trap puller John Long were ready for the first squad and the sport was on. .High average the first day was won by D. M. Scott with the splendid score of 132 out ol' 140 ; J. E. Hovey, of Clinton, was second, with 130, and Fred Kerr, of Orediton East, third with 125. The Brussels Handicap was annexed by J. Hovey, who got 21 out of 25 at the 20-yard mark the first day, and on the second pub up wonderful shooting, getting 24 out of 25 at 22 yards, in reality, he did not miss a bird. It looked as if one had a coating of ice on the bottom, but, anyway, it did not break on being palpably hit. Fred. Kerr, like the splendid shot he is, won high average the second day. Johnnie Dodds, of Seaforth, was an excellent third. The following is the score D. M. Scott won high average first day. Fred. Kerr wou high average second day. J. E. Hovey won Brussels Handicap, 25-21, 20-yard. J. E. Hovey won Western Ontario L. D. championship, 25-24, 22-yard. J. E. Hovey won high average for both days.

Cochrane, .of Wingham, made it an even 30 out of 40, closely follow­ ed by J. Ballantyne, of Brussels, with 29.—F Dui'dle, of Brussels, is a com­ ing winner. He notched 58 out of 75. —When A. M. Crawford, of Wing­ ham, hits them, which he, usually does, he , fairly pulverizes them.— Johnnie Dodds popped them all right. —John Hewitt just dropped in and hung up 56 out of 75 before lie went back to his birds.—F.

Clark in England to cover British Elections for Toronto Daily Star Another instance of aggressive enterprise on the part of the “Toronto Daily Star” is furnished by its action in sending to England a member of itB staff. Mr. Joseph T. Clark, to remain there until the cloBe of the British Election Campaign. Since the 14th of December Mr. Clark’s cables appearing in the “Star” have,been commanding attention and favorable comment Never before has a Canadian paper afforded its readers the means of following day by day a British Election Campaign so intelligently. Cabling is an expensive operation, but the "Star" does not spare expense when there is an opportunity to serve its readers. Mr. Clark, who is known throughout Canada as a writer of un­ usually graceful English, with an original point of view that gives distinctiveness to everything he writes, is describing the campaign at greater length for "Star” readers in frequent letters which can be truthfully described as masterpieces. The British Elections are being covered in the ‘ ‘Star’ ’ by no less than four distinct services, two of them exclusive to the “ Star,” as follows: 1. Mr. Clark’s cables and .letters (exclusive to the “Star”). 2. A special cable service from a staff of permanent correspondents in Britain (exclusive to the “Star”). 3. The Canadian Associated Press cables. 4. The Associated Press cables. In no previous British Election has a Canadian paper made similar preparations for getting the news. It is another proof of the increasing closeness of Canada’s relations to the Mother Land. But, also, not iu our times have there been as great issues at stake. The budget, free trade, the future of the House of Lords, the British constitution itself, are in the melting pot, and who knows what will come out? For com­ parisons one has to go' back to the great reform of 1832, and one authority says it is the most momentous .struggle since the Revolution of 1688. The'^oronto Daily Star’s” news columns will keep you fully posted as to the progress of the fight. For a Bad Cold. Nothing cures so quickly as the healing Pine essences in Catarrh­ ozone.
