While 1t Is well to heed every WORD
Of caution from the leaders in com.
merce and finance, and to avoid all
speculative ventures that lack a solid
business foundation, it is clearly evil
dent that there Is no conspicuous weak
spot In Canada's present era of pros
perity. The Toronto Globe says: THE
Dominion has In a commercial sense
plenty of money, and our leading fnan-
cial institutions are in a position to
lend freely in the United States. The
chief productive enterprises of Canada
are not buoyed up by an era Of danger
GUS speculation, but are following sub
~stantial, business methods and finding
safe and continuous markets for their
goods We are not bolstering up any
industries by extensive export bonuses
that must impoverish the people as a
whole and ultimately lead to collapse
through the failure Of the artificial aid.
There is no extreme protection in Can
ada such as would create great for
tunes for a few at the expense Of the
general public and lead to disruption
and catastrophe.
1.-The prosperity Of Canada has no
such artificial foundation, being based
on a healthy and substantial expansion
of trade and industry. with a proper
tionate extension Of productive settle
ment to new areas.
TT is true that we are borrowing
extensively for railway construction.
but every line will bring new territory
within the limits of profitable occupa.
ton, and will create prosperous settle
ments to bea the burdens and repay
the OUTLAWS. We are not eXhaustins
mineral resources, for it is quite rea.
sonable to assume that. although min
eral wealth is never permanent, ours
will during the measurable future de-
velop a far greater productive capac'
ity than at present. Our timber wealth
can be made continuously a judicious
policy. And agriculture, the real foun-
dation of u prosperity. is expanding
with every new expenditure on railway
construction. We are not in the flush
of a railway mania that could bring
its punishment through the useless du.
plication Of lines. The gigantic rail-
way enterprises that now stimulate ev-
cry line Of business in Canada will
create a new Dominion, and thus rem
der easy the heavy burdens Of debt
now freely assumed. Canada's era Of
prosperity has been unprecedented, but
there is no sign Of weakness and no
cause for lack of confidence. While
our growth is normal and healthy, we
need have no alarm at it's rapidly"
This article might have told Of the
growth that is taking place In Central
Canada, where thousands Of Ameri-
cans have made their homes during the
past few years. The past calendar year
has given to Canada by immigration
an addition to it's population of 216,000.
Of this the United States contributed
| 63,7S1. The agents Of the Canadian
government, whose advertisement ap-
| pears elsewhere, say that this number
! will be largely increased during 1907.

Marchurst put the nugget under the
seat of the trap, but Madame was afraid
it might slip out by some chance, so she
put the box containing it in front, and
then her feet on the box, so that it was
absolutely impossible that it could get lost
without her know ing. Then saying good

AS he was. Pierre was quicker, and both
Vandeloup and Kitty could see the two
black figures running rapidly along in the
moonlight.
..Who are those?" asked Kitty, with
a sudden start. Are they going after
Madame?'
Little goose whispered her lover,
with a laugh, "if they are they will never
catch up to that horse. It's all right,
Bebe,' with a reassuring smile seeing
that Kitty still looked somewhat alarmed,
they are only some miners out on a

they wandered along in the moonlight,
talking all the fond and foolish nonsene
they could think of.
Meanwhile the great black cloud had
completely hidden the moon, and the
whole landscape was quite dark. This an
moved Madame, as, depending on the
moonlight, the lamps of the trap were not
lighted, and she could not see in the
darkness how to drive down a very awk-
ward bit of road that she was now on.
1t was very steep, and there was a
high bank on one side, while on the other
there was a fall of about ten feet. She
felt annoyed at the darkness, but on look
ing up saw that the cloud would soon
mass so drove on slowly quite content.
Unluckily she did not see the figure on
the high bank which ran along stealthily
beside her, and while turning a corner,
Mr.. Villiers-for it was he-dropped sud

caught her by the throat.

BY the way.

The life of the visiting nurse Is one
Of sober and sad realities, and it is
fortunate that many a bit of humor
comes in to brighten the daily work.
Some of these "lighteners of labor" are
quoted in Charities and the Com
mons." The first incident pertains to
a Mrs. Darlington Of the slums.
Mrs. Brian was calling on a friend
who lived round the orner and who
had an ulcer on her leg. After express
ing her sympathy, she remarked, by
way Of advice:
Now, why don't yez have a trimmed
nurse? She'll put fertilized rags on
yer sore, and it'll 500 be WELL"
A case called one nurse into a Chi
nese section of the city. Every day
she passed two Chinese at work on the
lower floor Of the house where she
went, and always nodded good-mornlng
to them. At last came a day when only
n John was to be seen.
"Where Is your partner" asked the
nurse.
.H!m In hop'tal," was the reply.
"Clistee-an gentleman hit i'm on the
head"
.And who are youl" asked a nurse
q ! small child Of seven who opened
the door for her. She had seen
the little girl before, although she had

Mix rhi. At Ho.e.

The following simple homemade

forcing the Kidneys to litter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms as backache. weak
Kidneys and bladder and blood dis

Try It. as 1t doesn't cost much to
make, and Is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.

Compound Kargon, one ounce Com

MIX by shaking we'll in u bottle, and

again at bedtime.
This simple mixture ID said to give
prompt relief. and there are very few
cases Of Rheumatism and Kidney trou-
bles 1t will fall to cure permanently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them In the prescription department; II

OF 1ntere.t to women.

Every woman naturally should be
healthy n strong, but a great many
women, unfortunately, are not, owing to
the unnatural condition of the lives We
lead. Headache, backache and a general
tired condition are prevalent amongst the
women of to-day, and to relieve these con-
ditions women rush to the druggists for a
bottle of some preparation supposed to be
particularly for them, and containing
nobody knows what. If they would just
get a box of Brandreth's Pills, and take
them regularly every night for a time, all
their trouble would disappear, as these
pills regulate the organs of the feminine
system. The same dose has the same
effect, no matter how long they are used.
Brandreth's Pills nave been in use for
over a century and are sold in every drug
and medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.
