God,s medicine.

Although DR. Oliver Wendell Holmes
never practiced medicine, those who
knew him intimately say that he
cheered more sinking invalids. cured
more sick people, and did more good,
even from medical standpoint, than
many Of his young physician friends
The secret of his power lay in his over
flowing cheerfulness and kindness of
heart He scattered flowers Of good
cheer wherever he went. With him
optimism was a creed. 'Afirth is Gods
medicine" lie declared; everybody
ought to battle in it. Grim care, MOE
oseness. anxiety all the rust Of life
ought to be secured off by the oil OF

A CUSTOMER WORTH HAVING

Canada is customer worth having, and would te even a better customer If congress V ould but rise to the occasion. The statistics issued by the department of commerce and labor show that for the six months ending December Sl, 1901, Canada bought from American merchants and manufacturers goods of the value of s56,OOO,OO0. For the sec ond six months of the succeeding year Canada increased her purchases some what more than S2,OOO,OO while dur ing the six months ending December 3l, 1903, her purchases footed up S6S,- 7i2,SS2, or at the rate of sl39, ,545, ,764 per annum.
 As to imports from Canada, they re- main as nearly stationary as t is PoSsl- ble for them to remain. During the second six months of 1901 the imports from Canada were 3S,6Sl, 900 in value; during the corresponding period Of lsO2 they were s3S, ,us,OOO, and during the second six months of 1904 they were sSS, S,63S,O 900. There are countries on the other side of the water making greater fuss over friendship, traditional and otherwiss-but when it comes to appreciation of the best markets and the fairest treatment they are not in It with Canada-Olympia Recorder.
 That is all very true, and if the un- natural tariff wall were torn away from the imaginary line which separates the two countries, both the exports and i'm ports would be multiplied many times over. The volume of trade between the two countries, which is now less than s22O, ,OOO, 900, annually, would ex- ceed $500, 900, 900 year iu five years. Canada would take on life akin to that existing in the western portion of the United States, and the gain to our country would be that which always accompanies the opening and develop ment of a new country on the frontier.
 Commercial reciprocity between the United States and Canada would be the greatest boon that could be given com merce in North America.
