Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid trou-
bles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently. and the poisons
are carried to all parts of the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heayiness, drowsiness. irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and :heu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-
nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones.
When the uric acid affects the muscles
and joints it causes lumbago, rheuma-
tism, govt or sciatica. This is the time

BUSINESS IN CANADA
IS GOOD
Successful Crops and Big Yields
Help the Railway.

Ihe remarkable fields that are re.
ported OF the wheat crop of Western
canada for 1915 bear out the esti.
mate of an average yield over the
tnree western provinces of upward of
20 bushels per acre. There is no
portion of that great west of "a. 600
square miles in which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant. An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for FIVE years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices, says that he made the price of
the land out Of this years crop of
oats. No doubt, others, too, who took
the advice of the Department of the
interior to cultivate the %unoccupied
land, have done as well.
But the story Of the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best told in the
language of the railways in the aided
cars that it has been necessary to
place in commission, the extra trains
required to be run, the increased ton
nage OF the grain steamers.
1t is found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The G.. p. r. earnings for the second
week of October showed an increase
OF $762,000 over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the gross
earnings of the corresponding week
of 1913, when the Western wheat crop
made a new record for that date. The
increase in G. P. r. earnings for the
corresponding week of that year was
only $751; 00, or less than half of the
increase reported this year.. The
grain movement in the West within
the past two weeks has taxed the re.
sources of the Canadian roads as
never before, despite their increased
facilities. The C. P. R. is handling 1000
cars per day, a new record. The
G. T. r. and the C. N. R. are also max
ing new shipment records. The other
day the W. Grant Morden, of the Can
ada Steamships Company, the largest
freighter of the Canadian fleet on the
Upper Lakes, brought down a cargo of
476,315 bushels, a new record for
Canadian shipping. Records are go
ing by the board" in all directions this
fall, due to Canada's record crop. The
largest Canadian wheat movement
through the port Of New York ever
known is reported for the period up
to October 18th, when since shipments
OF the new crop began in August,
4,265,791 bushels have been reloaded
for England, France and Italy. This
is over half as much as was shipped
of American wheat from the same port
in the same period. And, be it remem-
bered, Montreal. not New York, is the
main export gateway for Canadian
wheat. New York gets the overflow
in competition with Montreal.-Ad-
vertisement.

THE END.
Competition vs.. Regulation.

From the Waco Morning News.
One OF the largest out-of-state insurance
companies doing business in Texas has
been directed by the state insurance com.
mission to show cause why its license t.
do business In Texas should not be re
voked for alleged violation Of the insur
ance laws by writing business below the
rates prescribed by the commission. The
company is charged with having issued a
policy at a rate OF 25 cents. whereas the
rate fixed by the commission is 80 cents.
From ST. Louis comes a news dispatch
announcing that the Standard Oil had
advanced the price of gasolene to st.
suit of a protest to President Wilson and
the federal trade commission by indie
pendent dealers. 1t appears that a few
weeks ago the independents raised the
price Of gasOlenc one cent a gallon and
the Standard Oil refused to make a sim
liar advance. wherefore the complaint of
unfair tactics. Immediately after the
Standard advanced it's price to the figure
fixed by the independents, the latter made
another a of ! cen a gallon, which
the Standard has not yet met.
those OF us who have believed in the vir-
tue Of competition to ask: Where are
we at?'
Here we nave an insurance company
threatened with prosecution for giving n
customer cheaper insurance than a state
commission says he should have, and an
oil company put or the grill for not adj
~vancing the price of gasoline when a com
petitor advances his price.
Incidentally and quite apart from the
question raised by these two Incidents,
we can not understand why st. Louis
filling stations are selling gasoline at Ii
cents a gallon while Waco stations are
charging IA cents.
If the state is to fix the price at which
insurance companies sell protection
against fire, why should not the state tx
the price. at which oil companies must
sell gasoline? And if an insurance com
pany is to be penalized for selling fire
protection below tie price charged By the
account for not raising prices to meet
advances OF its competitors. why not re-
peal the law of supply and demand en-.
tirely?
We give it up.

) he eventually would have won the

clare that Coffey was in such pitiful
condition that it would have been d
crime to permit the fight to go on.
And there you area jury divided
against itself.
Coffey is one of the most perfect
specimens of physical manhood in the
ring today. He is something like six
feet, three inches tall. weighs around
200 and is wonderfully proportional. No
fighter edges" him in gameness or
ggressivene ss-and no fighter can
punch harder.
There are some who claim that Cof-
fey has nothing but a left jab. Those
are the persons who never have really
looked up Coffey's ring record COT
fey is a left jabber-but he can swing
a right with fight-ending effect. too.
COffey uses his left hand fives times
TO once for his right, but there is

knockout point and the right is saved
for the finishing wallop.

with COffey fes ring only Coffey's left
For three rounds Coffey used his left
leaving his right hanging almost use
less. Smith became careless and in
the fourth round that right shot up
like a flash of lightning. caught Smith
with its terrific power-and Smith
went down and out for the full count.
COffey's early falkland one which
asserts itself occasionally nOw-is his
extreme eagerness to mix things at
the start The first bell sends him out
fighting with the fierceness and speed
that most men show only in the final
round of fight. And that's where
Coffey places himself at q big disad-
vantage-and that's how his foes usu-
ally are able to slip over that wobble-
producing punch.
But Coffey's trainers are curing him
gradually of that fault: they are teach
ing him the science of defence and he
is succeeding so well that he may
reach the championship throne some
day-if his jaw can learn to stand the
