Impurities fill it with .poisons, the
flesh harbors these poisons, and the
lungs cannot eliminate them as they
should.
It needs a purifier. Stuart's Calcium
Waters give to the blood through the
same channels as food all the strength
and stimulus necessary to remove the
impurities and to make rich corpuscles
which will feed the body or fight its
enemies.
Time was when poor blood purifiers
had to be used, such as herbs and roots
powdered minerals, etc, but thanks to
latter day achievement the Stuart pro-
cess gives to the system the full rich
strength of Calcium Sulphide, the great
est blood purifier known to science.
These little powerful waters are pre-
pared by one of the most noted expert
pharmaceutical chemists in the world
and so far as science is concerned no
expense has been spared to make them
perfect.
They contain Quassia, Golden Seal
and Eucalyptus, each a most powerful
aid to the blood of man.
Thousands of people use these waters
with religious zeal, and their testi-
! monial evidence is an unfailing source
of interest to one who reads it.
Melancholy marks every suffering

noise of falling pans in the kitchen, L.
o. Dugan. who was living in the
August Lind house, near Zeandale, got
up last Friday night to see what was

time to get them out of the burning
house in safety. Besides the lives of
his wife and children he was able to
save only a straw mattress, a comfort
and three shoes.
In their night clothes the members
of the family went to the home of a
neighbor and secured enough clothes
to supply their needs for some time
They will live in tent until another
house is ready for them.

FRUIT A BIG ITEM.

THE COTTON QUESTION
This Also Would Be Largely in

THE COTTON QUESTION
Live Stock Feature Also Regard
ed As Advantageous.

Washington, April 6.-The fact that
the reciprocity agreement between
Canada and the United States is in
tended to enlarge the market for the
AGRICULTURAL products of the United
States, is sometimes lost sight Of in the
general discussion of the benefits arts
ing from the improved trade relations
between the two countries. But the
american negotiators had the market
for the farmer in view all along. The
fact is that Canada is not only d grow
ing market, but it has almost unlimited
Possibilities for many products of the
american farmer which heretofore
have had a limited sale, owing to the
tariff duties.
valuable for the products of mixed
farming. The greatest opposition that
has been aroused in Canada has come
from the fruit and vegetable growers.
Under the new conditions which will be
created when the reciprocity agreement
Is made effective, the United States
will be certain to sell Canada very large
quantities of fresh vegetables, since
these articles already form an impor-
tant export commodity, reaching some
thing like $1,000000. This includes all
classes of vegetables, from potatoes to
what is generally known as garden
truck In fresh fruits the advantage
is largely in favor of the United States,
and this covers every section of the
country. Last year the United States
sold to Canada, under various rates Of
duty. fresh fruits to the value of $1,271,-
600. while the exports Of fresh fruits
from Canada to the United States were
only $233, 900. 1t is a safe prediction
that the first year after the reciprocity
agreement goes into force, the exports
az fresh fruits to the United States will
amount to $4,000, 900, while fresh veg
etables will approach nearly the same
figures.
The Cotton Question.
The benefits which farmers who grow
cotton will receive from the free list
ing of cottonseed oil are notable. The
present duty, which is 1715 per cent Ad
vaIorem, is a heavy one, yet the figures
are climbing, so that the exports to
Canada of cottonseed oil, which now
reach 81, 100, 900 and upwards, are Likely

moved.
