Tribe Committed Suicide.

In consequence of the wording of q
telegram, it is alleged that the Meth
erland troops in Bali got Achln (this
is 100 miles away from Bali), saugh-
tered about 400 people, among them a
majority Of women and children. The
death of so many human beings is sad
enough, without the imputation of cru.
city against the Netherland soldiers,
says the London Times. What happen
ed is this:
All students of Malay and Hindu his.
tory know that one of the most horrid
customs in those countries is the poo.
pootan," what | should like to call the
tribal suicide. A Bali prince, with the
instincts of his warrior race, declines
to surrender, but prefers death, and he
with all his people seek death. The
prince Of Badoeng did this. He turned
deaf ear to all suggestions Of a set
Element but he and all connected with
him, men, women and children, COM
mitted suicide.
Nearly the same thing happened In
1895 in Lombok, a nelgh5oring island.
The old king had surrendered, but one
of his sons, a cripple, walked out with
all his relatives, dressed in gorgeous
garments, bedecked with all their jew.
elry, and with their swords and lances
attacked the Dutch army, only to find
the death they courted Those that
were not killed in the fight were after
ward found to have killed themselves.

NEW YORK.

Colder weather, combined with the
approach of the holidays, has greatly
stimulated retail trade at most points
and the outlook favors record break
ing Christmas trade. The car shortage
continues, though grain deliveries in
the Northwest are freer, but on the
whole the paucity Of railway facilities
is seriously affecting many sections,
and in consequence some foundries in
the st. Louis and Cleveland districts
have been compelled to close. Manu-
facturers are busy the country over,
the pressure being so great as to cause
a considerable number of plants to
work night and day. Labor still con-
tinues scarce, and wage advances are
recorded generally, but the tendency
to avoid higher wages seems to be I'M
dergoing continuous expansion. Money
is high in the cities where the demand
is extensive, but most interior towns
appear to be plentifully supplied, hence
country bankers are seeking CONNER

But Change of Food Gave Final
Relief.

But Change of Food Gave Final
Relief.
Most diseases start in the alimentary
canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat-white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these things
are digested in the small intestines, and
II we eat too much, as most of us do,
the organs that should digest this kind
Of food are overcome by excess of work,
so that fermentation, Indigestion, and
a long train of ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest
and this is changed into acids, soul
stomach, belching gas, and bloated
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from in
digestible foods to Grape Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving tn.
distress but in building up strong di
lgestion, clear brain and steady nerves
"A Wash woman writes:

NO MORE WHITE SUGAR.
New Pure Food Law VIII Knock Out
the Highly Bleached Article.

New Pure Food Law VIII Knock Ont
the Highly Bleached Article.
The pure food law that goes into effect
Jan. is far reaching in is provisions.
but if carried out will without doubt
result in much good to the community
and will probably lessen in a measure
the stomach troubles so prevalent. There
will be no more white sugar offered for
sale after the new law becomes opera
tive. There will be loaf and granulat-
ed sugars as at present, but the color
xill be dull yellowish white, not very
attractive to the eye, but much more
healthful than the article known TO trade
for fifty years or more as white sugar.
Washing bluing is used to impart the
snow white color and Uncle Sam has
decided that it is better for the health
of the country to put aside the washing
bluing and get back to first principles
Timed vegetables, notably tomatoes,
green peas, and some kinds of string
beans will not have the appearance of
having been so freshly picked as for
merly. but the coloring will be natural.
No effects in coloring will De permitted,
except that provided by nature. Mar
malades and preserves, that tempt the
eye before the palate, will not be quite
so attractive, and il there is a slight
scum on the jar, skim it of and say
nothing. 1t is simply proof that pre-
servatives have not been used.
Mustard, which generations of the
people have come to regard as yellow
never having seen any that was not
adulterated-will be gray and butter
will be nearly white.
Timed meats will probably lose their
popularity, for it is expected the prices
will be about doubled. Some of the So
called timed meats and game offered are
made of a combination OF corn meal and
condiments that look inviting, but have
very little food value. They are put up
at small cost, have a delicious flavor, but
they are not meats and game. and it is
not expected housekeepers will buy tin
ned cornmeal when they know just what
it is as told by the label on the can.
The new law makes no reference to
eggs and the cold storage brand can be
disposed of as the integrity oe the dealer
decides. Refrigerated meats and bread
stuffs are not mentioned in the law.
After Jan. i all goods shipped from
factories will go out with d guarantee
that they are as represented; that there
is no false labelling. The penalty for
violating law is not more than one year
III federal prison or $500 fine or both,
and for a second offense the penalty is
doubled.

Business generally exhibits no loss of
strength, although the period has ar
rived when falling off in new de-
mands is natural That the volume Of
production and distribution sustains
an unprecedented aggregate is affirmed
by continued gains in freight earnings
and by total of bank exchanges this
week establishing a higher record than
any heretofore. Eastern demand for
accommodation is responsible for the
prevailing firm discount rate, but the
return of currency from the interior
soon may make easier conditions in
money. 1t is noted that local offerings
Of commercial paper have moderated,
indicating that financial requirements
are mainly provided for until the turn
of the year.
Some heavy consumers find it more
difficult to obtain necessary supplies
and difficulties in transportation have
extended, making deliveries within a
reasonable time almost impossible.
Railroad efforts to relieve the conges-
ton are handicapped by the severe
weather in some sections, yet it Is seen
that new equipment is coming forward
more extensively and tends to make
the outlook less discouraging to ship
pers.
Retail activity is much stimulated
by the presence of many visitors and
the demand for seasonable and Christ
mas goods steadily expands. Whole
sale orders for spring lines compare IA
vorably with those of this time last
year, and country adviCes testify to an
enhanced buying power and gratifying

ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN
CANADA.
Magnificent Crop Return for the
Year 1906.

Magnificent Crop Return for the
Year 1906.
The manner In which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers In recent
years has caused many Of our jour-
nails and public men to sit up and take
notice, to use current phrase. From
every European country and from al
most every State In the Union large
numbers Of settlers have focked to tho
prairie provinces Of Canada, where
free homesteads and wide opportuni-
ties are open to all who desire to avail
themselves of them.
The greatest factor in attracting set
tiers lies in the inherent richness Of
soil and suitability of climate for pr,-
ducing what is universally considered
to be the finest wheat In the world
the mo. hard" of Canadian growth
and other cereals that rank In the very
first class. This year the harvest re-
turns we're: Wheat, 100000 BUSH
els; oats, 100000 bushels; barley,
100000 bushels; and when 1t Is con-
sidered that the entire population Of
the three provinces-as evidenced by
the quiquennial census just completed
is only $4,000, it is easily seen that
the lure Of tie Canadian West Is In its
agricultural potentialities.
Another feature which attracts the
settler is that railway construction Is
proceeding with such rapidity that al
most every district Is within easy reach
Of outside markets, and that good
prices for all lines of farm products
rule practically from the commence
ment Of agricultural operations. This
is factor which did not prevail when
the earlier settlements In the West
were made in Canada and in the Unit
ed States, and has given a great i'm
petus to Canadian Western settlement
In recent years.
The free grant system of homesteads
which prevails in the prairie provinces,
willing to comply with the conditions
of actual settlement (by no means on
erous) is given 160 acres free, except
$40 for entry, is great drawing card,
and in the last fiscal year gathered in
over $4,000 additional to the West
ern population, of which 57,796 were
from the United States.
The further fact as Is strongly
brought out by the agent Of the Cana
dian Government, whose address ap.
pears elsewhere, that a splendid COM
mon school system, practically free, pre-
walls throughout the entire country,
and IN easy Of access in even the most
remote districts, Is another great In
ducement to the settler who has the
future welfare of his family In mind,
and this, coupled with the fact that
Western Canadian law and order are
proverbial, completes circle of good
and sufficient reasons why the tide Of
Immigration has set In 10 steadily to-
ward the country to the north Of ou{
