Almost All Night
With That Dry Tick
ling Sensation in
the Throat.
A bad cough, accompanied by, that
distressing, tickling sensation in the
throat is most aggravating.
Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup heals
the mucous surfaces, relieves oppression
and tightness of the chest, removes
accumulated mucous or phlegm, rquites
even the most obstinate and distressing
coughs, securing sleep and rest at night,
not only to the sufferer, but to others
whose' rest would, otherwise be broken.
Mrs, Duel Marshall, Basswood Ridge,
N.B. writes:—J
' est a few lines to let
you know what Dr, Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup did for me. I took s severe
cold, coughed almost all night with
that dry, tickling sensation in my throat.
The first ,bottle did me so much good,
I thought I would try a second one, which
I am pleased to say resulted in a complete
cure. , I can strongly recommend it to
any one suffering from a cough or any
throat irritation."
The price of Dr. Wood's Norway
e Pine Syrup is 25e. a bottle; the large
family size, 50c.
It is, put up in a yellow wrapper;

'Local Storekeepers Not Altogether
Blameless For Growth of Mail Order
Business— Petty Dickering Should
Cease, and They Should Trade With
One Another.
Seeing the errorsof others, a wise
man corrects his own. Men are apt to
prefer a prosperous error to an afflicted
truth. It is only an error of judgment
to make a mistake, but it argues an
Infirmity of character to adhere to it
when di covered. The Chinese say:
"The glory is not in never falling,
but in rising every time you fall."
Error's Influence Upon Man.
In its influence upon man error has
been compared to a magnet concealed
near the ship's compass.
As in the latter case, the more fa-
vorable the winds and the greater the
diligence and skill in working the ship
the more rapidly will it be speeded on
In a wrong course. And so in the for-
mer—the
ormer—the greater the struggle for safe-
ty the more speedy the progress of
rain.
This is the position in which a farm-
er with whom the writer recently talk-
ed
alked found himself.
This farmer, who lives but a short
distance from town, has prospered and
accumulated a considerable quantity of
worldly goods and bas always earth -
bled many errors on the white pages of
life.
Takes Pride In Town.
When asked his opinion of his town
as a market place he replied, "It's tiie
best in this section of the country."
"Do you sell all of your prodnctt
here?" he was asked.
"Oh, yes," he answered.
"And buy all of your necessaries and
supplies here, too, don't you?"
"Oh, no; I'm too wise for that," re
plied the farmer. "Those fellows here
are too high. I can buy cheaper from
the mail order houses."
There he stood, a big, awkward, ire
telligent countryman, who for years
had been committing the unpardonable
error of robbing the treasury of hie
own town and aiding the upbuildtng o1
the mightiest trust on earth—in some
distant center of population.
It el
As the injustice of his practice was
explained to him his honest eyes light-
ed with intelligence as into his
weather beaten face there appeared a
look of determination, and as his lips
parted these words came firm and
clear:
"From this day on I will be a true
citizen of the township in which 1
live. The money that I earn here and
receive for my produce I will spend
here. I will retrace my steps and cor
rect as many of my past errors as flee
within my power."
And the honest farmer will make
good his promise.
Drains Town of Dollars.
How many farmers and consumers
are doing the same identical thing as
was this farmer—draining the town
of its dollars, receiving, but not giving,
aiding the large cities and crippling
their own little town, which is striving
and struggling to maintain a command-
ing position on board the good ship
Earth?
at It
There was never a better illustra-
tion than the retail mail order house
itself of what may be expected Mt
consumers who fail to see the "signs"
and neglect to fit themselves to the
"times." The price of existence Is
measured both by demand and accom-
plishment.
Do Not Demolish, but Build.
The man who wishes to exert a use-
ful influence must practice what he
preaches. He must not demolish, but
build. He must raise temples in which
mankind will come to worship.
There are hundreds of thousands of
farmers—yes, millions -who thorough,
ly realize' the necessity of expansion
of trade, the protection of their home
markets, which is naturally brought
about through the development and
prosperity of their town.
1s It
Storekeepers Are to Blame.
The entire . responsibility and blame
for the present growing conditions
cannot be laid at the door of the fann-
er. Unconsciously the hundreds of
thousands' of storekeepers that have
the gall or nerve to call'themselve8
merchants are equally responsible with
the farmer.
As the merchant's- pocketbook is the
first to be hit he should be the first to
reform and set a good example to his
customers and those that should he
his customers. Petty bickering and
quarrels with competitors and local''
tradesmen should be the first reform!
mads
The next reform should be to encottr-.
age'trading with one another more gen-
erally than is now being done.
The best way to show your apprecia-
tion of your home town is by patronit
Ing', the industries In the home town.

David Thompson, One of B. C.'s Big
Pioneer 'Travelers.
One of the great waterways of the
Central region of Southern Britieh
Columbia is the Thompson river
two waterways it may be called, be-
cause the river has two '':ranches, the
North Tbompsou, and the South
Thompson, which unite at I{amloope,
and flowing onto the southwest as
one stream, pour their waters into
the Fraser at Lytton, The 'chomp-
son river is one of the arteries of
British Columbia, and its narrow val-
ley affords a, route for hundreds of
males for the first of our transcontin-
ental railways.
The name of, that waterway is a
monument to one of the most learned
and ueeful explorers of British Col-
umbia, David Thompson, the astrono-
mer and pioneer, and one of the
most successful explorers of the many
who served 1' e old Northwest Com-
pany. Many tributes to the man and
his work have been paid by. the "his-
torians of this continent, but perhaps
none is more to the point than that
written by the American historian,
Bacroft, who writes these words of
praise of David Thompson, the Brit-
ish -Canadian explorer:"No man per-
formed more valuable services or es-
teemed
steemed his achievements more mo-
destly."
Another tribute in few words, but
from high soufce, is that paid by
Begg, the historian of British Colum-
bia, who writes: "He (David Thomp-
son), was well-educated; and his me-
teorplogical and astronomical obser-
vations to this day command re-
spect,"
Thompson's career is interesting,
because of the element of adventure
that runs throughout, but still more
interesting, because it accomplished
so much towards giving to ];astern
Canada accuTte and comparatively
full information respecting the vast
region which extends from the foot-
hills, westward, to the shores of the
Pacific, and particularly of the rich
mineral and agricultural country
that to -day is known as Southern
British Columbia. He was born in
1770 -seven years after Eastern Can-
ada had been ceded by tlxe Treaty
of Paris, to the British Crown—and
his parentage was Welsh. IIis edu-
cation he received at the ancient in-
stitution, in London, commonly
known as "The Grey Coat School,"
so called because of the quaint garb
worn by its pupils. At the age of 19
years, he entered the service of the
Hudson Bay Company, going out to
Fort Churchill at the mouth of the
Churchill river, which flows into Hud-
son Bay, from the southwest.
For five years he remained in that
service, and then for the following
nine years he was engaged in making
surveys of the Churchill, the Nelson
and the Saskatchewan rivers and
their tributaries. Then he joined the
Northwest Company, the aggressive
and powerful rival of the older com-
pany with which Thompson had first
been associated. He became the as-
tronomer and the geographer of the
Northwest Company, traveling over
a large part of the vast territory
lying between the Missouri river and
Lake Athabasca.
Shortly before this time both Alex-
ander Mackenzie and Simon Fraser
had crossed the Rocky Mountains by
way of the upper valley by the Peace
river, far to the north even of Yel-
lowhead Pass, Thompson found
passes far to the south. In the year
1800 he reached the head -waters of
the Bow river by means of the Pass
through which the main line of the
Canadian Pacific Railway now runs;
and he followed for some distance
one of the branches of the Columbia
river until hostile Indians compelled
him to turn back.
Seven years later he again crossed
the mountains, ascended the Colum-
bia river to its source, when he built
a fort to which he gave the name
Kootenay. He subsequently reached
Kootenay Lake, and on a later trip
he ascended the Athabasca river,
which flows out of Athabasca Pass,
by means of which he crossed the
Rockies.
