STRATHCONA WAS WEALTHY Estimated .that the Late High Commissioner's Holdings Was About $8o,000,000 A despatch from Quebec' says: The death of Lord Strathcona will have a Material effeet on the reve- nue of the province for the current year. It is understood that tlie immense holdings of the late High Commissioner will fall under the succemion law of Quebec, and cal- culations are easily made that the revenue froin the estate will amount up to millions of dollars. It is said it was anticipated that EXPORTS SHOW INCREASE Canada's Domestic Produce Shipments Advanced ,Over Twenty-eight Per Cent.

The great increase was in ex- the value of the holdings was about $80,000,000, and, if so, the succes- sion dues at eight per centwould amount to $6,400,000. This amount will very likely be modified when She value of the estate in Quebec is known, as this very point has arisen over the judgment of the Privy Council in the Cotton case.

During the three years Hon. Mr. Harcourt had been at the colonial office it had been his , privilege to work officially with Lord Strathcona. Many years be- fore that it was his privilege to count him among his friends. His private generosity and public bene- factione had been beyond record or belief. He left a name and record illitnained by personal affection and public honors and a career worthy of envy and emulation by the civi- lized world. The Soothing Vapors of Catarrho- zone Bring instantaneous Relief. Thousands of Testimonials prove that Catarrhozone cures permanently. When germs attack the lining of the nose, make you sneeze and gag,—when later on they infest the bronchial tubes,—how can you follow them with a cough syrup? You can't do It—that's all, Cough syrups go to the stomach—that's why they fail. But Catarrhozone goes everywhere .—gets right after the germs—kills them—heals the soreness—cures the intlammation--makes Catarrh distill - pear. "Nothing I have ever used gives the warm, soothing sensation of Catarrh°. zone," writes Isabel Fry, of Seguin rails, Ont. °I was In a frightful way with catarrh of the nose and throat— had droppings, hard breathing, bad breath and indigestion. Catarrhozone relieved at once and cured me thor- oughly. It is invaluable in colds, sore throat and bronchial trouble." Not difficult for Catarrhozone to cure, be- cause it contains the essences of pine balsams and other antiseptice that simply mean death to catarrh.

Magic ‘Norvililio" Euds Stiff fteck,, Lumbago Any Curagle Muscular or Joint Pain Is Instantly Relieved , by Nerviline. GET TRIAL BOTTLE TO -DAY. You don't have to wait all day to get the kink out of a stiff neck if you rub on Nerviline. And you don't need to go reund complaining, alr-4.-,t turn, bago any more. You can rub such things away very quickly with Nervi - line. It's the grandest liniment, the quickest to penetrate, the speediest to ease muscular pain of any kind. One twentyelve cent trial bottle of NervIline will cure any attack of lum- bago or lame back. This has been moved a 'thousand times, just as it was in the case of Mrs. E. J.

I have used it for twenty odd rears and appreciate its value as a family remedy more and more every day. If any of .the children gets a stiff neck, Nerviline cures quickly. If It is earache, toothache, cold on the chest, sore throat, Nerviline is always my standby.
