BMiss Alice M. Smith, of neapolis, Mina., tells how woman’s monthly suffering may be permanently relieved by Lydia E.Pinkham’sVegetableCompound “ Deab Mbs. Pinkham : I have never before given my endorsement for any medicine, but Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has added so much to my life and happiness that I feel like making an exception in this case. For two years every month I would have two days of severe pain, and could find no relief, but one day when visiting a friend I ran across Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, she had used it with- the best results and advised me to try it. I found that it worked wonders with me; I now experiencs no pain, and only had to use a few bottles to bring about this wonderful change. I use it occasionally now when I am exceptionally tired or worn out.”—Miss Alice M. Smith, 804 Third Ave., South Minneapolis, Minn., Chairman Executive Committee, Minneapolis Study Club. —s6oooforfeit If original of about tatter proving genuineness cannot be produced. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound carries women safely through the various natural crises and is the safe-guard of woman’s health. The truth about this great medicine is told in the letters from women being published in this paper constantly.

AGRICULTURE IN WESTERN CANADA.

It* Grain Field*-Handling Land*— Dairying Resources. The editor of the Wisconsin Agriculturist, who was one of a party of editors of agricultural papers, took a trip through * Canada during the past spring, writes to bis paper in the following strain: The reason of his visiting Canada was to satisfy himself that the reports corning to his paper regarding the wonderful resources of that country were accurate. In view of the wonderful settlement that was going on there, many from this country crossing the line in search of permanent homes and In view of what he had heard'ln regard to conditions of soil, -water, cllmate,- topography, fuel, grasses, rain fall, markets., etc., and also the influence which these have bad on the present and future of agriculture he deemed it necessary to make an extended trip through all of the above territory. In speaking of the Province of Manitoba,. he says: “The province of Manitoba comprises within its limits the far famed grain-growing valleys of the Assinibolne and Red Rivers. Although called the Prairie Province of Canada, Manitoba has large areas of forests, numerous rivers and vast water expansions. “The soil is a rich, deep mould, or loam, resting on a deep clay qub-soil. It is well adapted to wheat growing, giving a bountiful yield of the finest quality, known-the world over as No. 1 hard wheat. During the past ten years the growth of wheat and other grains has steadily increased, until now the production, by 85,000 farmers, reaches over 100,000,000 bushels. Of the 23,000,000 arable acres In Manitoba, probably not one-half of It lioccupied. Cultivated grasses yield about two tons per acre, and native grasses a ton and a half. “There can be no question but that dairying will become a great industry throughout the Northwest, and especially cheese making, as the climate is favorable and similar to that of Ontario.

“Crops grown are wheat, barley, oats, flax, rye, peas, corn for fodder, brome, potatoes roots etc. The soil is very fertile and moisture ample. The climate is good and The growing season. while not quite so long as‘in Wisconsin, matures crops as the sun shines much longer, rising about 4 o’clock and shines until about 9 at night. One can easily read a newspaper at 10 p. hi. The long days make growTh fast and push crops to maturity ahead, of frost.

“The ranching, the wl.eat growing and the mixed farming belts all cross over Assiniboin. The yield and the quality of wheat raised along the main lino of the Canadian Facitic Railway, at such places as Indian Head and its allied districts, have become famous. Its possibilities are shown by the averages of tests made at the experimental farm in 1905, when eleven varieties of the most suitablo wheat, sown on April 19, were cut In 130 days, and yielded 4,314 pounds of straw nnd 43 bushels nnd 2 pounds of grain per acre. Its mixed farming area is excellent, its range cattle, horses and sheep are the equals of any seen In the Northwest, and Its treeless portion is underlaid with coal. The town of Medicine Hat is heated and illuminated with natural gas. There are abundant deposits of brick, pottery and fire clays.” Agents of the Canadian Government will be pleased to mail an Atlas to any one interested and also all other Information regarding railway rates, etc!

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

.. w Special telegrams to the hßlf lOffl. International Mercantile — ' Agency from leading cities and towns throughout the United States and Canada indicate'"that the "past week has been the most broken and irregular iu general trade circles since the year began. Railroad operation since Jan. 1 has been disappointing to both roads ami shippers. Rate wars between Chicago and Missouri river points, with higher prices for cereals, have stimulated the movement of grain and, ns an indirect effect, have increased buying throughout the entire winter wheat region. St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth spring wheat country centers do not find trade as active as anticipated. Prices have advanced $2 a ton for steel pipe and for wire products anJ 75 cents a ton for bessemer pig, at Pittsburg. consequent on the trust purchase of-100,080 tons. That interest is also reported to have options for 40,000 tons of bessemer each, for April and May deliveries. A leading southern pig interest lias sold its gutput to May 1. Advances have been shown by cotton and sugar, while declines are noted in the overstimulated cereals, in provisions and in Ohio petroleum. There is less call for money for mercantile purposes at banks at a number of cities, notably at New York and Boston,

General trade is showing, relatively, most activity at Chicago, Pittsburg, New Orleans and St. Louis. At Baltimore it is 20 per cent less than a year ago, due to interference by the fire. Cincinnati reports a moderate gain, and Boston rather less trade than a year ago, but with hopefulness for an early increase. Among some of the larger cities wages in industrial lines are stationary. In the Canadian dominion trade has been more active owing to an influx of country buyers at important centers.

r ,. R. G. Dun & Co.’s LIIJCdQO j Weekly Review of Trade L_ I says: An encouraging development of the week has been the renewal of agreements ns to wages for another year entered into between employers and large forces of workers in various Industries. This gratifying consummation paves the way for steady operations of plants and opportunely prefaces the opening of the season, when increased numbers of men are employed in factory and outdoor labor. With less severity in the weather the distribution of commodities was made easier, but deliveries are yet retarded and general complaint accentuates scarcity of cars. Retail trade made some advance in volume, milder temperatures having helped materially in creating' a better demand for the leading lines of spring apparel and household needs. Outside buyers appeared in larger numbers in the jobbing district nnd dealings assumed more activity in most of the staple goods. Transactions in dress materials, silks and clothing reached a larger aggregate, and were steady in linens, footwear and furniture. Cotton goods were taken more freely for the interior, but city purchases were confined to present requirements. Grocery staples nnd canned goods were seasonably active, and large quantities of drugs, paints and oils were placed for prompt forwarding to western points. Jobbers are now busy on general shipments of merchandise, and current collections continue good. ~—*- Grain shipments, 2,230,022 bushels, are 7 per cent under those of a year ago. Receipts of farm products increased to proportions indicating heavy realizing on the recent rise in prices. Speculation in the futures lost its buoyancy and declines in quotations were made without any substantial recovery. The average fell back to n slightly lower level than three weeks ago. Receipts of live stock, 415,439 head, compare with 283,060 year ago. Failures in the Chicago district number 23, against 22 the previous week and 23' a year ago.

28 Army Generals Send Letters of Endorsement To The Inventor of the Great Catarrh Remedy, Pe-ru-na

Brigadier-General King of Confederate Army, Writes: “I unhesitatingly state that 1 tin convinced Peruna is a medicine that will effect nil the cures that is claimed for its use.”— J. Floyd King, Washington, D. C. General Smalls, Beaufort, S. C. Writes: “I have used Peruna for catarrhal trouble and find it beneficial and to be all that it promises, and freely give it my unqualified recommendation.” — Robert Smalls. General Abbott, of Washington, D. C. Writes: “I am fully convinced that your remedy Peruna is an excellent tonic. Many of my friends have used it with the most beneficial results for coughs, colds and catarrhal trouble.”—lra C. Abbott, 906 M. St., N. W., Washington, D. C. Captain Yarnell, of Washington, D. C. Writes: “Your medicine, Peruna, I believe to be the best medicine for catarrh on the market. I have taken only a small amount, and can see very beneficial results.” —W. G. Yarnell, 2022 Lincoln street, N. E., Washington, D. C. General Mcßride of U. S. A., Writes: “I hnve no hesitation in recommending Peruna to all persons who are afflicted with catarrhal troubles.”— J.

Electric Light and Public Speaking.

Singers, actors and public performers generally are able to speak with much greater ease and comfort In a building lighted with electricity than in one where gaslight is used. In the former case the temperature of the whole building is more equal and the risk of catching cold is consequently diminished. The spealcer_is cooler, does not perspire, his throat is not parched, and bis voice is less liable to get husky. It is said that since thq fntroduction of electric light public performers are In much better voice than they were before.

Restored to Health.

Can’t be restored to health until the kidneys are cured. Read how one woman was-restored by using Doan’s Kidney Pills: Mrs. H. A. Van Sickle, 311 Gth Ave., 8. W., Roanoke, Va., says: “Kidney trouble was hereditary in our family and I had been so continually afflicted with the disease that I began to despair of even temporary relief. Sometimes so severely that I was confined to my bed. The aching In my back was intense and the kidney disorder caused an excess of uric acid in my blood, which impaired my digestion. I was compelled to deny myself of manj- of the little delicacies of diet. The doctors diagnosed my case as congestion of the kidneys. I had about given up hope when I begnn using Doan’s Kidney Pills, but I took only a few doses when their curative powers were proven to my satisfaction. I have never been without them In the house since.’’ / «> Doan’s Kidney Pills are sold by all dealers; price 50 cents; or mailed receipt of price by Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

Many weak, suffering women do not know that their kidneys are sick. Backache tells of sick kidneys and so do urinary disorders. Sick kidneys make bad blood, and bad blood makes bad digestion, heart palpitation, dizzy headaches, nervousness, sleeplessness, sciatica, rheumatic pains and con stant depression.
