SISTER AND BROTHER CURED
of Lung Dinennes md Deafness.

For several years l have been sick and
helpless from lung disease Had one hem
orrhage after another. I always had a
cold. Constantly coughing and splitting
blood My lungs would rattle and pain
me all the time. Dreaded damp weather,
as the pains were so severe 1t seemed i'm
possible to bear II a moment longer. Had
no appetite and nothing tasted good. Lost
flesh and became so weak that even walk
ing was painful. Awful night sweats wore
me out. l went to DR.. Branaman because
he had restored my little brothers hearing.
Brother had been deaf for three years.
His ears and the whole side OF his head
would swell up, and the pain was something
awful II would extend into his brain. and
for hours he would be out of his head, raw
ing, tossing and screaming with the terrible
suffering. Now his hearing Is restored and
his terrible spells OF Suffering are gone.
Since treating with DR.. Branaman 1 have

This remarkable and pleasing change was
brought about by decision of the state

franchise rights and gave the city a club

as $40. Under the decision of the court
the company is liable for all payments in
excess of $125.
Recently the company made overtures
of reduction, substituting measured serv-
ice for all fiat rates. The overture encoun-
tered public frost Later the company
came in with an offer OF a radical cut in

companies cut below these figures and the

The Canadian government is doing an
It gan to encourage immigration. It had
about 10000 new settlers last year, OF
whom more than 1000 came from the
United States and about 5000 from Great
Britain. There were something like 10000
from other parts Of Europe. The only re-
stricton in such matters is as to the
Chinese, who are taxed 500 per head upon
landing. In 1905 almost 100000 acres OF
free lands were granted to settlers.
Amongst the best OF the foreign imni-
grants are the Icelanders. We often think
Of that country OF cold and snow a. In
habited by EskimOs or Indiana, but thu,
truth Is II Is a colony of Denmark. and its
people are among the thriftiest and best
looking Of the Danes. The men are strong
and intelligent and the women are beauti-
full. The first colony Of Ioelanders came to
Canada about twenty years ago. They
were assisted by the Dominion government
and settled on the west shores OF Lake
Winnipeg, where they first engaged in
farming and fishing. Other Icelanders have
settled in southern Manitoba, and froHd
time 20 time many have moved to Winni~
peg. They are how also found scattered
over the wheat belt. There are altogether
about 1900 OF these people In Canada,
and there are two Ioelandic newspapers
published in Winnipeg. In the larger set
Elements these people retain their own
language, and as a rule they prefer 20

children go to the public schools and all
