.ea.se Most of the misery and ill -health that
humanity is burdened with arise from
disorders of the stomach, liver and
bowels. If you are feeling out of sorts,
have pains in the stomach, especially
after eating, sour stomach, bilious
spells, sick or bilious headaches, heart-
burn, water brash, etc., you should take
a few doses of Milburn's Laxa-Liver
Pills. You will be surprised how quickly
they will fix you up.
Mrs, M. A. Burger, Hardisty, Alta.
writes:—"For over two years I suffered
great agony from pains in the stomach.
I tried several remedies, but got no
relief. A friend advised me to take
Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills. I started
with two vials, but before I had used one
found much relief, I continued until
I used six vials, and they have com-
pletely relieved me.
Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills are small
and easy to take and do not gripe,

pills do.

Mission to Mesopotamia
to Form Arab Government
A despatch from London says: --In
the announcement that Sir Percy Cox
is going to Mesopotamia immediately
to establish a native Arab Govern-
ment, there is evidence that Great
Britain, perhaps somewhat belatedly,
is now carrying out the promise made
in 1918 to set up Arabian indepen-
dence under a ruler of their own
choosing.
Cox is going out with an open mind;
and is not committed to any form of
government or to any man as ruler.
It is believed that dt ie unlikely that
Fe:sa1 will be chosen.

EGYPT'S MOST PiCTURESQUE SPOT
The most historic, peaceful and picturesque spot in Egypt-piet'ire showing the great Pyramids, with ruins of an
ancient granite temple alongside, and at the extreme right the famous Sphinx. In the foreground are Egyptian
types with camels and donkeys, living just as their ancestors did in the time of Christ.
FRANCE AND ITALY
WHEAT CROP POOR
Must Depend on North Ameri-
ca for Food Supplies.
A despatch from Paris says:—Pre-
dietions of experts on the French
grain crop this year; based on the first
results of the harvest in all parts of
France and information from other
countries, show that Canada and the
United States remain the only salva-
tion of France and Europe. The
French wheat •crop will. be one-fourth
less than previously estimated and
78,000,000 bushels, approximately,
less than. the 1913 crop. The quality
of the grain is below normal, the
weight being 3 per cent. less than
usual. The yield per acre is slightly
greater than 1913, but the total aver-
age is one-third less. To meet the
normal demand of consumption France
will have to import 80,000,000 bushels
of wheat.
The Italian harvest is also disap-
pointing and Italy will have to import
virtually the same amount as France.
England is hoping to make up the bad
crops of Australia and India by the.
Russian negotiations and purchases in
the United States. There is little hope
of wheat from Argentine, as, due to
the 'focal shortage its export is pro-
hibited, though if the December crop
is good the prohibtien may be can-
celed.
The French wheat crop figures are:
1913, a yield of 309,000,000 bushels;
1919, 109,000,000; 1920 estiniate ,231,-
000,000 bushels.
For rye the figures are: 1913, 56,-
000,000 bus.hel:s; 1919, 30,000,000
bushels; 1920, estimated, 35,000.000. •
Again Fails to
Swim English Channel
A despatch from Dover, Eng.,
says: Anther attempt by Henry
Sullivan of Lowell, Mass., to swim the
English Channel from Dover to Calaise
France, has ended in failure.
Sullivan started on the swim last
night at 8.40 o'clock, ,and was in the
water for 18 hours.
Owing to the rough sea he was
forced then to abandon his attempt,
when only three reviles off the French
coast. In 1913 Sullivan swam to within
six miles of France, starting from
Dover.
The diirect ratite between Dover and
Calais is 20 Miles,

vious to the war, in 1914, a first-class

Alberta Rye Fields Produce
30 Bush. Per Acre
A despatch from Calgary says:—
As an instance of the rapid manner
in which •the 1920 erop in Alberta is
being handled, the tint car of rye
arrived in Calgary Wednesday morn-
ing from Taber. According to George
Hill, Dominion Government inspector,
this was an altogether admirable
sample and weighs 621/a pounds to
the bushel. It is said that the Taber
rye would run about thirty bushels to
the acre.
Don't criticize your neighbor; set
him an example.

THE QUESTION.
Sleeplessness is caused by the nervous
system becoming deranged, and to those
whose rest is broken by frightful dreams,
nightmares, sinking and smothering
sensations, who wake up in the morning
as tired as they went to bed, can have
their old, peaceful undisturbed, re-
freshing sleep back again by using
Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills.
Mr. J. N. Fa.riane, Red Triangle
Club, Ha1'iiax, N.S., writes:—"I was a
sufferer from nerve trouble for about
three years. I used to be so weak and
nervous, at times, that I would be afraid
to move. Getting a full night's sleep
was out of the question. After using
the, second box of Milburn's Heart
and Nerve Pills 1 could feel quite a
change coming over me. I used four
boxes in all, and I feel now as well as
ever I did."

It's a Great Life if You Don't Weaken
A despatch from London says:—
Canadian grain is beginning to make
its appearance on the London open
market for the first time after sev-
eral years during which its sale has
been controlled. It is not the actual
grain itself for that is being harv-
ested—hut the necessary financial
preliminaries to its di:;po al, known
as the buying of "forward exchange."
According to Charles Gamble, man-
ager of the London branch of the
Bank of Commerce, there is ,a very
brisk demand for Canadian dollars on
the part of London brokers, which
marks the 'resumption of open trad-
ing following adoption by the 'Can-
adian Wheat Board. As a result a
steady rise in the value of the dollar
in sterling may be expected.
While the pound is being quoted
in London to -day at $4:03, exchange
for futures is already as low here a
$3,96. This demand for dollars comes
from the London grain brokers.
The Royal Commission on wheat
supplies, which in past years has
made its 'arrangements with the Can-
adian Wheat Board, will now buy
through the brokers here who in turn
will deal with brokers do Canada.
Canadian bankers here expect the
Dominion crop will be disposed of at
prices at Beast as good as Mast year's!
when wheat was quoted to the Greek
Government at over three dollars,
Utilize Western Coal
For Eastern Industries
A despatch from Toronto eays:—
It is expected that substantial effort
will be made to arrange for the im-
portation of large quantities of West-
ern Canadian coal for use in mills
and plants of Ontario and Quebec
firms. Already the Ontario Mining
Association has investigated the feas-
ibility of using western, coal for min-
ing :and milling operations; and it has
been found quite suitable. The next
step will be its importation in suffi-
cient quantities to ensure an adequate
supply for eastern industries.
The high cost of American steam
coal due to freights, exchange and
other things is one of the factors mili-
tating against its continuous import
for use iin Ontario mills.
