LACK OF MONEY

A lady in Ark. owes her health to
the fact that she could not pay in

BILE. In telling of her case she says:
Il had been treated by four different
physicians during 10 years of stomach
trouble. Lately I called on another
who told. me he could not cure me;
that I had neuralgia of the stomach.
Then 1 went to specialist who told
me had catarrh of the stomach and
said he could cure me in four months,
but would have to have his money
down. I could not raise the neces-
sary sum and in my extremity I was
led to quit coffee and try Postum.
1.-THE results have been magical. I
now sleep we'll at night, something I
had not done for long time; the pain
in my stomach is gone and am a
different woman.
Every time had tried to stop cof-
fee I suffered from severe headaches,
so continued to drink it, although /
had reason to believe it was injurious
to me. But when I had Postum to
shift to it was different.
ITO my surprise 1 did not miss cof-
fee when I began to drink Postum.
Coffee had been steadily and surely
killing me and didn't fully realize
what was doing it until I quit and

TRADE REVIVAL IN

The trade revival in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta is an actuality
and not myth. There is today a
spirit Of optimism in the air, just as
two years ago there prevailed the op.
posite spirit of pessimism.
A general trade revival has been
felt in every department of business in
the Prairie Provinces The agricul-
turists are in better shape than they

ter financial condition and in a more
general state of prosperity than are
the farmers Of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta. The farmers have
harvested record crop-a crop which
enriches them to the extent of some
thing over $4O0,00O, 900.
In the cities the prosperity of the
country has been reflected. Every.
where business is on the hustle. The
wholesalers and the retailers and the
implement dealers find business good
The banks and other collection houses
find collections satisfactory, and finan.
cial men declare that westerners are
paying up their debts. In Winnipeg
the bank clearings have been the larg.
est in history, exceeding some weeks
the figures<of Montreal and Toronto
The grain shipments have been the
biggest in the history of Winnipeg and
in the history of the twin ports, Fort
William and Port Arthur. The mail
order houses have had big year, the
rush of fall orders exceeding all previ-
GUS years and taxing the capacity of
these establishments, whose most san.
guine expectations have been exceeded
by the actual business done.
The tide has turned in western Can
ada. The people Of the West are
forging ahead, forging ahead in actual
production and in creation Of wealth,
giving generously to charitable and
other funds, paying up their back
debts, while going along carefully as
regards any creation Of new debts.
They are economizing but not scrimp-
ing, acting cautiously but not miserly.
The financial heads of eastern Canada,
OF the United States and of Europe are
no longer criticizing western Canada:
rather they are unstintedly offering
their praise and their compliments.
The financial press recognizes that
the tide has turned in western Canada,
and it has been published to the world.

Chelsea now finds itself in the same po-

stroyed by fire and with the town thus
deprived of large enough accommodations
for the entertainment of the people who
may come to the town. One fortunate
condition about the fire at Chelsea was
by the loss of human life; and for that
the people of the community must feel
thankful. just what the future may
bring forth as regards hotel construction
may seem extremely uncertain to the
people of Chelsea; but to one outside of
the town it does not seem likely that
Chelsea will be without a hotel for any
considerable length of time. As the shire
town of Orange county, the seat of the
county court, and as one of Vermont's
most attractive villages, place of great
potential value as a summer resort. Chel-
there are not sufficient accommodations
for the visitors, both those coming for
business purposes and those desiring to
seek recreation in quiet, handsome and
healthful village. A hotel building ca
pable of accommodating considerable
number of people would be the only sat
