Not verv Ioiir ago a shipment of 22 cars was made from Ell- ��� nioiuoti. Albe'rta, to the .United Stales, the approximate .aluc. of tliis shipment beini? $50,000, Recently a slill lriiRei- sliipnient was made when ��"<��� cats, containing 626 head of entile, valued nt $68,000, lefl Edmonton for St. Paul, Minn. These cattle were purchased front fiu-int rs in envious parts of Northern Alberta and testified to the high standard of animal the Alberta, farmer insists on j breeding on his farm. A feature of i ihc consignment was a herd of 100 [head from Fori Saskatchewan, Alia ila, which netted tlle seller an j average price of $108 n head. The I future of lhe live stock Industry ill ; Northern Alberta, is very bright. Large stock buyers of lhe United | Slate.-, and Canada arc directing their purchasing power to lhis part of the country, where sound, healthy cat- I lie arc raised as cheaply ns anywhere on the continent. Sheep in Strong Demand Great Interest Being Taken in Sheep f Raising in Saskatchewan fudging by the coircspondcnce received by the live stock branch of thc Saskatchewan department of agriculture, a great development is due to lake place in llic sheep industry of tliis province. Inquiries from intending purchasers arc bciug received daily, and Flic demand is nol confined to any particular scclion, as farmers from all over lhe province, attracted doubtless by high prices of bolh wool and million, arc anx- iotts I" crfgage in so profitable n branch of their industry. Two thousand head purchased under the live stock purchase and sales act of this province have been placed lhis fall, and orders for many move are already on hand and increasing rapidly. Willi a view- to keeping in the province as many sheep as possible, :-, circular letter is being sent lo all sheep owners, asking Ihem to advise the department of any sheep \ they may have, for sale. It is hoped by this means to satisfy at leasl part oi the demand lhis fall. The apparently general desire to no m for sheep raising is viewed with much satisfaction.

THE CAUSE OF BACKACHE Every muscle in the body needs constantly a supply of rich, red blood in proportion to the work it docs. The muscles of the hack are under a heavy strain and have but little rest. When llie blood is thin llicy lack nourishment, and the result is a sensation of pain in those muscles. Some people think pain In the hack means kidney trouble, bul the best medical authorities agree that backache seldom or never has anything to do with the kidneys. Organic kiduey disease may have progressed to a critical point without developing a pain in the hack. This being lhc case pain in the back should always lead the sufferer to look lo the condition of his blood. It will he found in mosl cases that the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to build up the blood will stop the Sensation of paiu in the ill-nourished muscles of lhc back. How much better it is to try Dr. Williams' l'ink I'ills for tlle blood than to give way to unreasonable alarm about your kidneys. If you suspect your kidneys any doctor can make tests in ten minutes that will set your fears at rest, or tell you the worst. But in any even lo bc perfectly healthy you musl keep the blood 111 good condition, and for this purpose no oilier medicine, can equal Dr, Williams' l'ink Pills. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 rents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockvillc, Ont. W, N, U, 118 I Strange Recovery of Jewels Who Opened the Lusitania's Safe Is a Mystery When the I.tisitania was torpedoed by a German submarine olf thc coast of Ireland, with the loss of 1,100 lives, she carried with her, among olhcr rich freight, a consignment of diamonds in transit from New York to London upon which the Union Insurance Company of Bangor, Mc., carried a risk of $13,- 000. 'The company promptly paid lhc claim, and entered the $13,000 in its loss account. But, it now appears, long afler the great disaster, the insurance company received a London draft for the full amount of its risk, with the information that the diamonds had been recovered, says Tin Louisville Post. An Irish fisherman, upon hauling his trawls, found that he had hooked the most valuable fish in his career��� a small package, which bore plainly enough the address of a firm of London jewelers, and which upon examination was found to contain diamonds���the gems upon which the Bangor Insurance company, among others, carried risks. The fisherman got his due amount of salvage, and the diamond merchants were glad to return the insurance money. The puzzle is: Having presumably been locked up in the purser's safe, how did the diamond packet get loose so that it came up on the fisherman's trawl?���From the New London Day, i.ullet Belore Report Experiments Prove Sound Travels Morc Slowly Than Bullet lu the living line it has often been noticed that bullets travelling at high speed produce Iwo Bounds. A man lived al from about 400 yards hears first a vicious crash. Thai is the bullet passing, A little later tlle report of llur rifle comes along, fhe speed of sound has, in fact, been bealcit by the speed of rifle bill- lets. Modern military rifle bullets, when fired, travel at from 2,000 to 3,000 fret iii one second. Sound can only travel along al 1,100 feci per second. So it happens lhal when a man who has been fired at hears the repori of a rille, hc knows he is safe-���al least, from that particular shot. It is, naturally, at long ranges that the two distinct sounds are most noticeable. At a range of 1,000 yards r bullets arrives al hast a second, and sometimes more, in advance of the repori. Tin- sound of lhe flying bullet is caused bv a vacuum at its rear. ���*��.��<.���-���<->>..<>�����..���.<..>..>...�� ........���_._>__��� With the Fingers!

Bread and Bacon Prices Why Bread is Cheaper in Britain Than in Canada Statements persist and are bciug used in an attempt to discredit the work of thc food controller, that thc prices of bacon and bread are higher in Canada than they are in Great Britain. The allegation in regard to bacon has been emphatically denied and officially compiled prices from different cities have, been cited which prove that the prices for baron arc lower in this country than in Great Britain, In the case of bread, too, thc situation has been explained many times. The bread of England is war bread, subsidized by the government and containing other ingredients than white Hour. Commencing on September 17, the government of Great Britain fixed the standard price of flour at $7.38 per barrel and the uniform price for bread at IK cents for a four-pound loaf, with a one- pound loaf at S cents, Already $200,000,000 has been appropriated to apply a�� a subsidy to sustain these prices.

A. STARTLING ANSWER TO THE PEACE SUFFRAGIST ARGUMENTS GERMAN PEACE MEANS HUN WORLD-DOMINANCE A Woman Who Has Seen the Germans at War, Tells in a Vivid Manner Some of thc Grimes She lias Witnessed, and What The Hun Peace Would Mean to the World Old Tea Look- .411 Right Old tea and fresh tea, poor tea and good tea, all look alike. No wonder a woman often gets a bulk tea she doesn't like Red Rose Tea in �����- In your issue of yesterday's date it is reported that 300 sutfragc women |oudly "cheered a plan lo force laying down of arms." This shows, on the part of those women, cither ignorance or brutality. For if they knew one-tenth part of the sufferings which are being endured by those who havc already been forced to lay down arms, and if they had one ounce of sympathy in their hearts, they would die of shame at having given voice to such monstrous inhumanity. For peace at this moment would mean a German peace; German peace means German world-dominance, and this means subjugation, by force of arms, of all -ooii-Gcrman people; It means militarism, barbarism, slavery, not only in Europe, but also on this continent. For as soon as Hur ope is conquered America's turn would follow, in accordance with German plans. "Germany's soul," said Treitschkc, "is God's soul; it shall and will rule ovcr all mankind." My eyes were opened to this truth in August, 1914. I was engaged in hospital work in Belgium, when 1 was arrested by thc Germans as a spy and condemned to be shot within 24 hours. When I suggested to thc commandant of onc of the towns through which I was dragged as prisoner thai he should at least look at my papers and see that what I had told liim was right, and that 1 bad been engaged in hospital work- when his army came a little prematurely into Brussels, he replied: "Right! You are English, and. whether you are ri^ht or wrong, this is a war of annihilation." Annihilation, as I understood, of everything that was not German. T am nn _rd-nt suffragist in the old counlry, but f have, since 1907, contended that before agitating for a share of political responsibility women should prove that they arc cap able of taking a shafe in national defence. With this object, the Women's Convoy Corps���the pioneer corps of women's war work���was organized in 190y, to bam all work for sick and wounded, between field hospital and basc. And during the first Halkan war, in 1912-13 we went to Kirk Kilisee, in Bulgaria, and there established the first war hospital unit to be composed of women only. "Look after national defence and the vote will look after itself* was our motto. And if ���' WHO WU-L >V1JN THIS BATTLE?" Tour kidney* are the filters of tbe body.

Tu Belgium, in France, and iu Serbia I have seen thc result of German ruin in conquered lands, and 1 know that it moans literally bell on earth. In Serbia, with rank of major in the Serbian army, I commanded a flying .field hospital throughout the three months of the Serbian retreat, and in the final flight ovcr the mountains of I Montenegro and Albania saw the dead and dying bodies of thousands whose lives will have been sacrificed in vain if the freedom of Iheir country is not won. Out of a population of four millions, less llian two million arc now living, and lhcy account those happiest who are dead. All the children under two years old have perished. Out of one little band of 30,000 Serbian boys who tried lo reach the coast during the retreat, 24,000 left their bones _ upon the mountains. The alrocitit-s committed during lhe first invasion of Serbia beat the German records in Belgium. Civilians were massacred, villages destroyed, women and children were driven Into buildings, wounded that they should not escape, and the buildings set ablaze, ln another case 100 people wcrc pinioned, surrounded by wire coil, and placed at the edge of a deep pit; they were then tired upon, and fell, pole mclc, into the pit, wliicli was immediately filled up with earth, burying 50 per cont. of them alive. Meanwhile, another party, composed chiefly of women and children, were dragged up lo witness the execution, and at lho finish were made to throw up their arms and slioul "Long livo tho Kinperor Francis Joseph! i Do thc 300 women who ar" cl.in. loring f��r peace realize thai a-r.-ai v Austria, Kussia, Turkey,.

Sir Arthur Currio, commander of the Canadian army* corps, who paid the highest tribute to his men. In the course of the interview (ien- cral .Currie said: "Il is the mixture of lhc two races which gives us such fine soldiers. They havc got lhe dash and irresistible elan of tho French and the tenacity of lho Anglo-Saxon. It is 'furia Francaisc' collided with bulldog grit. When my boys have' their teeth in they do not lct go." General Currio recalled wilh pride that the Canadian army did not know what defeat was. From its first appearance on thc battlefield to ils recent capture of Passchcndaelc ridge fortune had always rested on ils valor. "That is onc of lhe reasons of lhc army's morale," said General Currio. "An army that has never known defeat can bc led to the end of tho world. But thero are oilier reasons for the army's fine, sturdy spirit. Tlicy arc fighling wiih full consciousness of the justice of llieir cause.

Co-operating with thc food controller, thc federal department of agriculture is directing the campaign and the provincial departments of agriculture have taken up the work with enthusiasm and determination to make the campaign a complete success. Tho objective is an average increase of fifty per cent. in the production of hogs in Canada in ioia Following the meeting in Ottawa of reprcscnlatives of all of Ihc provinces of Eastern Canada, as reported in tho last issue, of The Canadian Food Bulletin, representatives of the western departments of agriculture were in conference recently with officials of the federal department. Those attending the conference included western deputy ministers of agriculture, western_live slock brced- jcrs and representatives of breeding associations. Mr. Hanna addressed the meetiug 'on November 7. Ho emphasized the. necessity of au increased production of bacon to meet the requirements of the allied countries, aud stated that the packing house industry would br regulated to thc satisfaction of the producer as well as of the consumer. The food controller read a telegram from Mr. Hoover, food administrator of thc United Slates, outlining what was being done in that country to secure an increased hog production. Mr. Hanna also read the following cablegram which he had ji._t received from the llritish ministry of food: "Wc cabled Ov.-cu Smith Monday informing him that wc had just been able to secure from the treasury three million dollars for purchase of bacon, hams and lard in Canada arid instructing him to purchase up t.�� this amount.

Hot). T. A. Crcrar, minister oi agriculture, addressed thc representatives in attendance at iho conference at an evening meeting on Mbveml ��� r 7. He promised that the government would control the packing houses and regulate th. margin of profit between the producers and the consumers. Hc said that those who had studied the food situation were seized by the fact that there was a shortage of food in many lines, acl he feared that there would bc a -st'.I greater shortage in the months to. come.

WRIGHT & E.M.CARROLL Proprietors On a Cash Basis Many Germans Enter Holland -During August and September no fewer than 35,000 German deserters crossed the Dutch frontier. The dread of having to endure another winter In Flanders is probably thc chief reason for this increased leakage. Suspicions arc, however, being entertained that all these desertions may mean something quite different and that tlie Germans arc allowing men to pass into Holland with a hidden purpose. Western People are Urged to Discourage the Credit System C. Verc Brown, speaking in Winnipeg, said that about 40 per cent, of farmers in Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan were in a position to dea! on a cash basis, but did not do so because they had formed the credit habit and because the average merchant did not require them, or make it worth their while, to pay cash. Out of 890 merchants in rural centres' where the Bank of Commerce has branches, 703 allow no cash discount, Mr. Brown declared. The refusal of rural merchants to give discounts for cash was onc of the main reasons for thc success of lhe mail order house, the speaker asserted. The banks were now attempting to give better service to the agricultural population, and greater co-operation was required, There may bc oilier corn cures, but Hollow-ay's Corn Cure stands at the head of thc list so far as results arc concerned.

A Good Motto to Be Learned During These War Times* '.I licodorc Roosevelt bar. long been km cu as an apt phrasemaker��� "speak softly, but. carry a big stick," "malefactors of great wealth," "rave suicide," and many Others come to mind as Iris contribution to the vernacular strength of what we may perhaps be permitted to call the American language. At a recent meeting in New York he coined another epigrammatic sentence which should he added to the list. A great audience gathered in Madison Square Garden al a public meeting tinder thc auspices of the mayor's committee on national defence. The crowd shouted its approval of the patriotic speeches to which jt listened, The speecli of a captain in the Australian army who has been wounded twenty times in the war was received witli especial enthusiasm. When Mr. Roosevelt's turn came he referred to lhis Australian soldier's speech as the best address of tlie evening, and said to the audience that Ihey did well to applaud him, but added: "I want to see you shoot the way you shoul." The country must realize this more fully than perhaps it docs il the United Slates and its allies arc to be victorious 'in the war. "Shoot' the way you shout" is a good molto for these war times.���The Outlook. THANKFUL MOTHERS Mrs. Wililc Tlicriault, Pacquet- villc, N.

Many of the conditions under which we live are artificial. We eat too much, take too little natural exercise, and have too much worry and anxiety. The digestive system does not get a chance. The liver is usually first to get out of kilter, then the bowels become constipated, and the whole process of digestion is disorganized. Instead of being properly digested, the food ferments and causes sour stomach, belching of wind, pressure of gas about the heart, suffocating feelings and faintL��f spells. Headaches, pains in the limbs and back, tired, depressed feelings, irritability and discouragement are other symptoms. You may have tried stomach medicines and aids to digestion until you have given up in despair. And Rid of the Poisons Which Cause Pain, Tired Feelings? Operation Avoided Mn. Annie Wfttkln*. Gluco Bay, New Harbor, N.S., writes: "I think It li time far me to (Ive my experience with your wonderful Kidney-Liver pill-. For .even month. I suffered with what the dootor called Indigestion, but whatever it wai, I Buffered terribly. The pain would -tart under my left shoulder and pass down my aide until It reached thr pit of my stomach. It just seemed as If th* flesh were being torn from th* bone. At times I used to go without food from one mornlnr until the next. I had no energy left for work at all. At last our dootor sent uie to tho hospital for a month. For four days and nights I never broke my fast except (or a drink of water. After four weeks* treatment there I returned home, and was baok only four days when the pain came back worse than over. Then I was told I would have to undergo an operation, but I would not consent to that. At last I read about' Dr, Chase's Kidnoy-Llver Pills and started to take them. At first I I did not notlee much difference, but still I kopt on using them, and by the time four boxes were used I was perfectly well again. That was In 1914, ao you see X can safely say that I waa eared. I shall always be grateful to Dr. Chase's Kid- ney-Llver Pills, as they did more for me than four doctors." But what would it be worth to you to be free of all this trouble, to feel again the old energy and vigor, and to enjoy healthful living? Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills are not offered to you as an experiment. There is no question as to what they will do by way of awakening the action of the liver, kidneys aad bowels, and removing the cause of indigestion and kindred ills. Their curative powers have been proven in hundreds of thousands of cases, until they are es- tablished in the great majority of homes as the one family medicine which is indispensable. It is for you to apply this treatment in your own case. It will only oost you a quarter to make the test, and we do not hesitate te predict that the results will surprise and delight you.

Of this amount, he thought hc was not placing the profit too high at one-eight. This would mean a clear profit of $50,000,000 to the people of Saskatchewan.
