lowing, published in the Brown City

friendship letter written about March
Is to one Of her lady friends in that

idea of the climate, social, educa tional
and religious conditions Of Alberta, the
beautiful land of sunshine and happy
homes. Over one hundred thousand
Americans have made Western Canada
their home within the past five years,
and in this year upwards Of $4,000 will
take up homes there.

writes of 1t as follows: II know l

A Tight Squeeze.

Brazils, Ark, May Ito be
snatched from the very brink of the
grave Is a somewhat thrilling expert
ence and one which Mrs. M. o. Garrett
OF this place has just passed through.
Mrs. Garrett suffered with a Cere-
bro-Spinal affection, and had been
treated by the best physicians, but
without the slightest Improvement.
For the last twelve months two doc
tors were in constant attendance, but
she only grew worse and worse, till
she could not walk, and did not have
any power to move at ALL
She was so low that for the greater
part Of the time she was perfectly IN
conscious Of what was going on about
her, and her heart-broken husband and
friends were hourly expecting her
death
The doctors had given up all hope
and no one thought she could possibly
live.
In this extremity Mr. Garrett sent
for box Of Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1t
was last hope, but happily 1t did not
fail
Mrs. Garrett used in all six boxes Of
the remedy, and is completely cured.
She says:
Il am doing my own work now and
feel as we'll as ever 1 did. Dodd' S
Kidney Pills certainly saved me from
death"

says the New York Tribune, Is shown

mat exports from the United States to
AFRICA nave grown from 100000 in
1882 to $33,OO0,OOO In 1902 and In the
seven months Of the fiscal year 1903,
FOR which reports are available, were
nearly 100000 in excess of those of
the corresponding months of the fiscal
year 1902. Official figures just received
snow that the imports into Natal In
1902 amounted to $75,OOO,OOO, against
Soo,Ooo,oOo in 1901, and those into Cape
Colony $17O,OOOOOO in 1902, against
$l2O,OOO,O00 in 1901. This makes the
total importations into Natal and Cape
Colony in 1902 $245, 100000 in round
terms, against $170,OOO,OOO in 1901.
This increase in the tmportations
into the South African colonies Is not
merely recovery from the depression
OF the war period, but is an actual and
large gain over conditions which exist
ed prior to that time.
Africa seems likely to prove in the
near future better field than South
America for the exporters of the Unit
ed States. To South America Ameri-
can exports grew from $50, 100000 in
1892 to $3S,O0O,0OO in 1902, an increase
Of $5,OO0OO0; while to Africa, as al
ready indicated, they increased from
100000 in 1892 to $33,OOOOOO in
1902, gain of $28,OOO,OOO.
