Emergency Medicines.

1t is a great convenience to
have at hand reliable remedies
for use in cases Of accident and
and for slight injuries and all
ments. A good liniment and one
that is fast becoming a favorite
if not a household necessity is
Cham berlain's Pain Balm. By
applying it promptly to a cut,
bruise or burn it allays the pain
and causes the injury to heal in
about one-third the time usually
required, and as it is an antisep-
tic it prevents any danger of
blood poisoning. When Pain
Balm is kept at hand a sprain
may be treated before the in
famation sets in, which insures
quick recovery. For sale by
Barker's drug store.

DID WE'LL
Minnesota & International Had
Best year in Its
History.

The Minnesota & International
makes a marvellous showing in
it's annual report. In the face of
constant increase in the cost of
operating, it has for the fiscal
year just closed, reduced it's per-
centage Of operating expenses to
earnings from 7O.8 per cent to
56.2 per cent, and has, at the
same time, shown a tremendous
increase in net earnings, equal
ing 20 per cent. The income per
mile of road increased from
81 454 to 81, $40, and mileage in
creased from 1927 to 1867.
During the year s;311,616 was
spent on construction work.
The reportshows that although
the gross earnings for the year
we're $7O,008 less than in 1908,
the net income increased from
S193.61 to 1862, 321. In other
word the per cent of operating
expenses to gross earnings has
been reduced from 7O.6 per cent
to 56.2 per cent.
