WORKS WONDERS
A Wonderful Compound-Cures Piles,
Eczema, Skin Itching, Skin
Eruptions, Cuts and

Doan's Ointment is the best skin

it. .-sf

Ointment a most reliable preparation for

he applied Doan's Ointment the relief

THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD AND WESTERN CANADA.

The railway facilities of Western
Canada have been taxed to the uttermost
in recent years to transfer the surplus
grain crop to the eastern markets and
the seaboard. The large influx of set
tiers and the additional area put under
crop have added largely to the grain
product, and Notwithstanding the in
creased railway facilities that have been
placed at the disposal of the public, the
question of transportation has proved
to be a serious one.
1t will, therefore, be good news to
everyone interested in Western Canada
to know that an authoritative state
ment has been given out by MIR. c. Nj.
Hays, president of the Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway, that that railway will
its share towards moving the crop
of 1907 from Alberta, Saskatchewan and
Manitoba to tidewater, and thus assist
faced the settler during recent years
Mr.. Hays, who has just completed a
trip from Portage la Prairie to Edmon-
ton i'll prairie schooner, distance of
735 miles, which was covered in eigh-
teen days, is enthusiastic about the
country.
This will be gratifying to settlers in
the Canadian West, even if Mr. HAYS
decnnes to be bound to time limit
with the eXactitude of Il stop watch.
The Grand Trunk Pacific road will ye
in a position to take part in the trans
portation of the crop of 1907, and that
will be satisfactory to the settlers in
that country when the harvest is garn-
cred
The wheat crop of 1906 in Western
Canada was about 90,000000 bushels
and, with the increased acreage which
is confidently expected to be put under
crop next year, it is safely calculated
that fully l25,OOO,OOO bushels will be
harvested in 1907. The necessity for
increased transportation facilities are.
therefore, apparent, and the statement
made by Mr.. Hays will bring encourage,
ment to the farmers of the Canadian
West, new and old; vast new country
with an almost illimitable number of
homesteads is being opened up.

A Well Known Remedy.

One of the oldest, safest and most
favorably known remedies in the world
today is Brandreth's Pills-a blood pllri-
fer and laxative. Being puely vegetable
they can be used by old or young with
perfect safety and while other remedies
require increased doses and finally cease
acting altogether, with Brandreths Pills
the same dose always has the same eff
feet no matter how long they are taken.
One or two pills taken each night for
a while is the best thing known for any
enc troubled with constipation, indiges-
ton, dyspepsia or any trouble arising
from an impure state of the blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over century and are sold in every
drug store and medicine store, either
plain or sugar coated.

WON BY MINNESOTA
Farm School Exhibit Win Eight Prizes
at Live Stock Show.


From Tuesdays Daily.
Minnesota again is the winner OF the
big end of the prizes at the Intcrna,
tional Live Stock exposition at Chicago.
A telegram received yesterday by Prof.
j. M. Drew of the state farm school in
dicates that the herd exhibited by the
school this year has won the champions
ship in several classes, probably III more
classes than the cattle from any other
state, and that Minnesota has good
chance for the grand championship,
which will be decided today.
Prizes are awarded for the best animal
of each age and the best animal of each
breed. Then the winners in each breed
are judged and the gran championship
is awarded to the highest scoring of the
lot. Clear Lake Jute won this cham
pionship for Minnesota two years ago.
The telegram is:
Union Stock Yards, Chicago, Dec. 3.
First two ear-old, first yearling, sec
ond Angus calf, champion Angus steer,
first Angus herd, first yearling Hereford,
third grade yearling, first two-year old
Galloway; more to follow"
According to this, Minnesota has won
more prizes than it did two years ago,
and probably more prizes than any 9TH
er state. The instructors at the farm
school have great faith in the champion
Angus steer The champions of each
breed are ranged together for the grand
championship, and there is hope that
Minnesota will land it.
Minnesota has larger herd on eXhi-
bition than last year.
