Exeter Advocate, 1906-5-31, Page 2..................................... . NERVOUS CHILDREN - St. Vitus Dance, Neuralgia and head- aches Common Among School Children. St, Vitus dance is a disease that is becoming more and more frequent among school children. Young people lire the nerves withstudy and the t�yformSometimes , of neuralgia, the :nervous exhaustion, weakness of the limbs and muscles, and what we call "being run down." In other cases St. ;Vitus dance is the result, and the suf- ferer limbs,f which keepes upaa constant jecontrol of rk- ing and twitching. There is only one way to cure this trouble—threugh the' blood which feeds and strengthens the nerves. And Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ere the only medicine that can make the new rich, red blood that feeds the nerves and strengthens every part 31 the body. The case of Flossie Doan, of Crawland, Ont., proves the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. Doan says: "A couple of years ago my daugtr- ter Flossie was dangerously afflicted with SL Vitus dance. She became so nervous that after a time we could not let her see even her frieinds. She could not pick up a dish, lace her isboes, or make any movement to help herself, She had grown thin and very pale, and as she had been treated by several doctors without benefit I feared she would not recover. A friend ad- vised me to give her Dr. Williams' Pink Fills, and after she had used a couple of boxes. I could see that they were helping her. We gave her nine boxes in all, and by that time she was per- fectly well, and every symptom of trou- ble had passed away and she is now a strong, well developed girl." If your growing children are weak ar nervous, if they are pale and thin, lack appetite or complain of headaches ar backaches give them Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and see how speedily the rich, red blood these pills make will trans- form them into bright, active, robust boys and girls. You can get these pills hem any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writing The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. BOW HE BEAT THE STREET CARS. A Torontonian Keeps a Record of Fares ale Never Paid. A small account book was picked rp ,in the street recently showing a sys- tematic record of the number of times its owner got ahead of the street rail - ray company. The blank pages of this Look are ruled off in ledger form 'and each account headed with the name of a street car route in Toronto. For in- stance there was "Church street," with a debit on the left hand side and a cre- MILLIONS MADE IN FURS EDAIONTON 15 TIIE CGI TBE OF TLI: TRADE. The Hudson Bay Co• mpany and a French Firm Have Accumu- fated Fortunes. 1 had a cleat with one of the chief fur: buyers of. the North American contin- cut, writes Frank G. Carpenter from Edmonton to the Chicago llecord-Herald. The wild lands reaching from here to the Arctic Ocean n and f om Alaska bd est Hudson Bay supply furs of the world. The Hudson Bay Company has been engaged in the busi- ness for 200 years, and it has sent out millions upon millions of skins to the markets of London. It had until a gen- eration ago a monopoly of the trade. I3y its charters from King Charles it controlled the whole country and gov- erned it as it pleased. Then Canada Iought its political rights to British North America and now fur trading is free to all. This town of Edmonton, which. lies over 800 miles due north of the United States boundary, is the centre of the now Me trade, it has eight firms which buy skins, and their purchases aggre- gate hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. One of the most important of the traders is the Iiudson Bay Company, which has recently erected a department more here, and its chief competitor is Revillion Freres, the great Paris furri- ers, who have establishments also in New York and leondon, and who supply shins and furs to every market of the world. The Revlllons are fit competitors of the Hudson Bay Company. They have been engaged in wholesale and retail fur trading for 175 years, and they are now carrying on their business with a capital of 70,000,000 francs, or about S14,000,000. They have already estab- lished posts all over the Northwest, and they are gradually building up a line of stations throughout the lands which the Hudson Bay people have always con- sidered onsidered their own. BIG TRADE IN FURS. They have a central station here at Edmonton, another at Prince Albert and a third in Labrador, with two or ttree hundred branch posts in active operation. They are buying furs all along the Mackenzie River, up and down the shores of the Arctic Ocean, along Hudson Bay and in different parts of Labrador; and they are, 1 am told, getting a fair share of the best skins of the continent. -• in addition to this they have, with the opening up of the wheat belt, establish- . dit on the right. "Bloor and McCaul" era a great wholesale and retail doper t - the same, and so on over the entire! ment store here, and are doing business with the ne\v settlers. They are by far the largest wholesale dealers out- side of Winnipeg. In talking with Mr. Secord of the im- portant fur -buying company of McDou- gall & Secord I was told that the fur business is now as good as it has ever been, and that it will be a long time be- fore men will freeze for lack of fur fact is the fares were' saved by riding ! coats and women become pillars of ice system. Evidently when the owner rf this book paid a fare he charged it up against the car line he patronized, and whenever he saved a fare he credited himself with five cents. At first glance it might appear that the ownerof this account book was in the habit of dodging the conductor's box but ibis was not the case. The chmate is said to be far better thanthat of Manitoba. Edmonton has a much guilder climate than Winnipeg, There is little suow here and no intense gold. to speak of, The same is true of Cal- gary and of most of this State of Al- berta. In addition to the farming possibilities of the Peace River region, it is said that parts of it will support vast numbers of live stock. The natural grass grows flout two to live feet inheight, and the cattle and horse ranchers who are now being crowded out of Alberta are plan- ning to send their herds to Grande Prair- ie and Peace River. The cattle will be able to run out all winter and they can feed out of doors all the year round. If this is so, the region will be of great alue to the new Canada. The lower put of this State of Alberta and a part of Saskatchewan, which, owing to the slight rainfall, have been used for ranch- ing, are now found to produce' winter wheat, and the ranching business may to driven out by grain farming. There are in Manitoba and the Northwest al- most a million cattle, a quarter of a million horses and more than that num- leer of sheep and hogs. The Peace Riv- er country, with its grain and grass, would seem to be a good stock -raising proposition, and - the lime may conte when the most and best cattle of this country will be raised there. As for Alberta, it is now going into mixed farming, and its cattle eventually will be kept on the farms instead of an great ranges. A large number of dairies have been established, and but- ter and cheese are now produced away out here in the Northwest. a bicycle instead of paying the street because they have not fur sacques. The car company for comings and- goings and the fares were contributed on rainy days when the wheeling was unpleas- ant. On August 6, 1005, he made an entry against "Bloor and McCaul" r.s follows: "One fare—last of• quarter's worth of tickets bought June 2." The total of fares unpaid amounted to nearly $30 in seven months. FAMOUS ABBEY IN DANGER. Rector Writes 17,410 Letters Asking Aid to Protect It. The north wall of Crowland Abbey, in South Lincolnshire, England, has buckled. It will be necessary to under- pin it, immediately if further damage to this famous monastery is to be preven- ted. The buckling • was caused by the weakening of the foundations, which are laid on a bed of peat. The north window is so seriously damaged that it will have to be rebuilt. The rector, the Rev. T. H. Lehoeff, is making an appeal for funds. He states that since 1884, when he was appointed, he has written 17,410 letters asking for help to restore the abbey. His labors have broken down his health. Mr. Le- boeff says his desire is simply to pre- serve the remains of this once famous mitred monasiry, the history of which goes back to A.D. 672. It was the Benedictine monks of Crow - land who founded Cambridge Univer- sity, and the abbey had the first tunable peal of bells in England. Apart from its historic interest, Crow - land Abbey is still a landmark in the Lincolnshire fens. DELICATE BABIES. Every delicate baby starts life with a serious handicap. Even a trivial ill- ness is apt to end fatally, and the mo-' ther is kept in a slate of constant dread. Baby's Own Tablets have done more than any other medicine to make weak sickly children well and strong. They give the mother a feeling of security, as through their use she sees her deli- cate child developing healthily. Mrs. S. M. LeBlanc, Eastern Harbor, N. SS., says:—"Up to the age of fifteen months my baby was weak and sickly and at that age could not walk. It was then 1 began using Baby's Own Tablets, and the change they wrought in her condi- tion was surprising. She began to get strong at once, and has ever since Peen a perfectly well child."

Johnnie: "Please:, ma'am, I expect it was history repealing itself again.' skins may continue 'costly, but there are plenty of animals left, and it will he long before the supply gives out. Mr. Secord tells me that furs are large- ly affected by fashion, and also by the supply. In some years the Indians bring in many more of certain kinds of furs than in other years, and, strange to say, the supply of some pieces lases and falls with the rabbit crop. Some varieties of the fur -bearing animals live largely on rabbits, which breed so rap- idly that the animals cannot keep them down. At intervals of every four or five years a disease breaks out which kills the rabbits off by the thousand, and following such years come the lean fur years. This town of Edmonton is at the northwest corner of the wheat belt. It pr omises, however, to be the centre of a new wheat and grain region which shall extend hundreds of miles to the r.crth and westward. This region is known as the Peace River"Country. Civ- il engineers are now surveying it for railroads, and settlements will soon be springing up here and there in,it. IN PEACE RIVER REGION. The Peace River may some day ne cne of the most important streams on our continent. It rises in the mountains of British Columbia and flows into Slave River, just above where it issues from Athabasca Lake. It is a broad, deep stream, comparing in size with the. Mis- sissippi, and it is navigable for several hundred miles by boats drawing ten feet of water. There are now two steam- boats upon it, and one of there is 120 feet long and is lighted by electricity. On the upper parts of this river there are practically no settlements except those of the fur traders and missionari- es. At Vermillion about sixty farmers ere raising wheat for a flour mill es- tablished there by the Iiudson Bay Com- pany. They get $1.50 a bushel for their wheat, and the wheat is said to be some of the best grown on the corrttn- ent. These farmers are chiefly half- breeds and traders. They have but small patches and till their land in a rude way. At Peace River Landing, which is probably 300 miles southwest of Vermillion, there is another flour mill, which is grinding only for local consumption. Vermillion is in about the latitude of St. Petersburg. It is a question in the minds of many whether a great city may not . grow up in the Peace River country. At pre- sent Edmonton would seen to be the best site for the trading centre of do great Northwest, but with the pushing ri railroads to the north another centre may grow up at the heed of navigation, Utilizing the vast Mackenzie system .es a means of distribution. DEVELOPING THE COUNTY, The Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad, which is now being built west from Ed- nianlon, will strike across the south rt e n ,.hit .of the Peace River country. It will not reach the best lands, which aro far- (her north, although a branch road may he built through to the head of naviga- tion.

Myer A WELL-KNOWN BANDA,MAN SPEAKS A Well -Known L P. is Cured of Kidney Trouble of Long Standing by Dodd's Kidney Pills. Banda, Ont., '?v1ay 21— (Special.) There is no one more widely ' known and highly respected in this section of the country than Wm. Bell, Esq., J. P., and the statement he makes below con- cerning his' cure by Dodd's Kidney Pills bears weight and carries conviction with it "For more than a year I was a suffer- er from kidney trouble)Mr. Bell says. "Always in pain at times the ag- ony would become unendurable and 1 was practically unable to attend to any cf my duties. I doctored with several local physiciains and tried every means to get cured, but without success. At last I was induced to give Dodd's Kid- ney Pills a trial. I have the greatest pleasure in stating that they drove away the pains entirely and restored me to my old time health and strength. 1 am sure I owe this entirely to ,Dodd's Kidney PIlls." 'WINNING TIME "V. C" LTow Sir William Beresford Won the Trophy in .the Zulu War. The recent jubilee in ,honor of'the founding of the Victoria cross brings to mind many instances of bravery which won that token of courage. Among the heroic exploits which gained the cross is that of Sir William Beresford, who won the trophy for a deed performed during the Zulu War. During an encounter the Zulus pre- tended to flee—a well -calculated snare, as it brought the pursuing British into a carefully prepared ambush. A long line of over two thousand warriors sud- denly sprang up, flanking the horsemen. Then the whole plain flashed into life. hordes had been hiding in the grass. Buller's alert eye caught the danger instantly and his voice rang out with, "Retire!" There was a quick volley cf Zulu. bullets, and three Englishmen went* down. Beresford, looking back, saw one move into a silting posture. 1 -Ie who would extend succor at such a crisis must be brave and prompt,quiele to decide and quick to act. The Zulus were perilously' near the fal- len soldier. Beresford measured the,, distance with his eye, and thought be might just do it. He galloped back to the wounded man, dismounted, and or- dered him to get on the horse. The poor fellow, dazed and hurt as he was, was not less full of the spirit of sacrifice. He bade Beresford mount and go—why should two die? Then Beresford, in his desperation, declared that he would punch the man's head if be did not gel on and be saved! The droll argument prevailed. The wounded soldier allowed himself to he hustled cn the horse, his rescuer scrambled on in front. and set the good little beast going at his best pace. As it was, the two would have been sneered had not Sergeant O'Toole turned back and with his rifle held the close - pressing Zulus at bay. When Sir William received the noti- fication that the Victoria cross had been awarded to him., he returned the an- swer that he could not receive any recog- nition of service unless it was shared by Sergeant O'Toole. immediately an- other award was. made. Both heroes received the badge of distinction that marks England's highest approval of "conspicuous bravery." A CLEAN SWEEP. The Friend : "There'll be something in the case for you. I suppose?"

The turquoise, like the opal, is found in the desolate and waterless parts of the world. The principal deposits so far known are in the Persian desert and nn the barren plateaus of New Mexico and Arizona. Usually the best specimens are taken from disintegrated rock, and the mining of turquoise is not only accompanied with much hardship on account of the location, but can only be performed with great difficulty. The quantity com- bined with other stones as well as. with gold, and by itself, is so extensive in the cities or eastern Europe that more of it is believed to be bought by gem- mer- chants in this way than is at present secured from the principal mines. This is not strange, however, for not only turquoise but other precious stones are known to exist in remarkably large collections in Constantinople, as well asin the cities in Turkestan, Persia and communities of southeastern Europe. They are hidden away in ginger jars, rugs, old boxes and other receptacles of the household, where the owner be- lieves there is little prospect 'of search being made for them. Gem collectors who have searched for.stones in this part of the world say that no one can telt how many and what valuable Speci- mens are thus hidden away, only to, be brought to light when the owner is ab- .sclutely forced to part with them through dire necessity. Undoubtedly many a gem brought from the famous mines of radia, Egypt Persia in tha and Pe gist has been thus se- creted.
