The destruction\nis not by any means confined to what\nmight lie (.ailed the hip timber, but\nvast, stretches of brush'Youiitry are being swept.- The lobs incurred by the\nactual destruction of the brush is not\nserious tut great numbers of farmers\nliving in such sections are being burn-\nod out of their homes* and are forced\nto flee for safely.\nTrappers, hunters and others returning from \"the north report that\nthere are great broad sweeps of fire\nracing across the wooded country, in\nmany sections destioying everything\nin their path.\nNorman Luxtou of Banff who made\nii remarkable trip down the Athabasca'\nfrom near the Yellowhead Pass to Fori\nAssinaboine iu a canoe, ' and arrived\nhere yesterday reported that for miles\nhe passed through smoke so dense\nthat he could* hardly see- three feet\nbefore him. At other places'.he said\ntlie dense forests of splendid timber\nwhich bordered tlie river were all on\nfire. ..\nHe attributed theso fires to the\nburning out of the Grand Trunk and\nCanadian Northern rights of, way. The\ntimber was all so dry, he said, that\nonce a fire started it was almost im\npossible to prevent its spreading.\nOthers who have returned from the\n.McLeod and Pembina river districts\nalso report that great fires are raging\nthere and destroying miles and miles\nof the most valuable timber on this\nside' of the Hockies. ,\nMany tragic' tales of lonely home-\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 steaders having'to put'up heroic fights\nwith the fire in order to save their\nhomes and families are reaching the\ncity from many sources.

That the farmers will encounter great difficulty in bringing\ntlieir stock through'the winter is now\nrealized on every hand. ' Not only\nhave many of them lost their entire\nstore of fodder but the fires have licked up what pasture there \"was on the\nopen prairie and in this way the settler has suffered a double loss.\nThe heaviest loss has been in the\ndistricts between Uaysland on the'\nWetaskiwin branch of the C.P.R. and\nVegreville on ihe Canadian Northern.\nIn this area alone il is estimated that\nat least 10 townships have been wiped\nout by fires which have destroyed hay\nstacks and outbuildings' tlie nine of\nwhich would total in lho thousands\nwere it possible for anything like a\ndefinite estimate to be made of tho\nloss. '* - . '\nHeavy loss has also been sustained\nin tlie districts around Athabasca Landing' and farther south In* the province around Stottler.\nAs far as (he .Mounted Police, have\ndiscovered however, 'there-ha* be*',i\nlittle loss of life in any of tin. big\nfires although many homes have been\nthreatened and it lias taken the combined, strength of many communities\nlo ward off the* conflagrations.

A (jladlator\nwould emerge from the ring having sustained tenible cuts und bruises, yet on\nthe application of his favourite herbal\nbalm, within a few days he would again\nbe ready for combat.\nAs centuries rolled by, the secret\nof making these herbal extracts whs lost,\nand ointments and salves made up of\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2nimal fats took the place of the pure\n, herbal balm.\nZam-Buk, the great balm which during the past few years hns revolutionized the system of skin-healing, was\nproduced by returning to the idea of the\nancients, that man'n best medicaments\nmust be found in herbal extracts.\nlu the investigation which followed,\nthe necessity was seen (or entirely ex\ncludrng the rancid fats and coarse\nminerals from which most modern ointments are com-vunded, and sticking\nclosely to nature.\nScientific inquiry eventually centred\nround the peculiar properties of certain\nvegetable saps mid juices. These extracts from rare herbs had, it was found,\na curious power that enabled them when\nspread on the broken skin, to knit the\nidges of ilssueii together\u00E2\u0080\u0094in short, the\npower of healing injuries in a marvellously natural way, and of annihilating\nany germs of discane harboured by\nwound or pore.\nThe choice of the right herbal Juices\nmid their refinement comprised the next\nstep, after which came the more difficult\nl>rohli-m of finding out just the-exact\nproportion ol the different ingredients\nwhicli would give the best heahrigretuilIB,\nburly disappointment-ind costly exper\"\nCareful tests established the exceptional value of the new balm, its constant, reliability, and its unvarying\nsuccess even in certain obstinate cases\nof eczema, and ulceration.\nFrom the first Zam-Buk has born out\nin practice, what its discoverers expected\nof it from a practical standpoint. In\nfour continents it has now become tbe\nfavourite household balm, Cheap substitutes made up to look like Zam-B* k,\nand sold at so-called \" cheap \" rates, are\nconstantly being produced, bin ihe\ncareful housewife, the mother, bearing\nihe responsibility and the welfare of her\nailing children, or the bread-winner, who\nonce wastes money on them never i (-peats\nthe experiment. Ti ere is no \" cheapness \" in nature, If one wants hei ne.i-\nbure her price must be, paid, and now\npeople don't waste money on \"y.h<:\u00C2\u00BBp\"\nimitations.\nZam-Buk, so pure yet so powerful, *s\ngood for young and old. The delicate\nskin of babes benefit from its aprllcntion\nand it is widely used by nursing mothers\nfor the rushes ond chnlings of very young\nchildren. Men of experience and of\ngreat attainments In varied walks of life\nhave tested It, and Rpeak of lt in tbe\nhighest terms.\nDr. Andrew WIlRon, whose name as\na scientist Is familiar all the world over,\nin one of Ins recent medical woiks\ni\" Homely Tolks on 'First Aid \"*i nays :\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0'* Wherever n box of Zam-Buk Is handy\nthe preparation may be relied upon as\nan antiseptic dressing which requires no\npreparation and has the particular ail-\nv.mwigc of pdtsetjsing unique h-jaling\nproperties,\"\nMr. Frank Scudnmore, the ureal war\n'correspondent nays: \"ZanvHuk cured\nmc of blood-poisoning, which caused\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2evcrc ulcers.
