twelve months as for the same period
OF the year before.
The number of settlers from Eastern
Canada migrating to the west also in
creased. From January 1 TO March 81,
1917, the number of cars of stock that
passed through the Winnipeg yards
was $50, as compared with 361 last
year. A fair estimate of the value of
each car would be about $4,000, which
means that the west has secured addi-
tiOnal live stock to the value of $780,

months of 1917, not taking into account
that brought in by immigrants from

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or calIus so it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store. but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

FAMOUS FOR BEAUTY.

One of the oldest of Canadian cities,
Halifax also Is one of the most pic
turesque. 1t has two principal beau
ty spots. Point Pleasant park and
the Public Gardens. The first lies
between the North Arm, a ford three
miles long, and the harbor proper.
The North Arm is the cruising basin
for canoes and pleasure craft of small
size.
Two hundred acres Of land make
up Point Pleasant park. and the woods
have been left in a wild state. The
roads are splendid. They were built
for military purposes. The park has
a pair OF magnificent iron gates given
to the city by Sir William Young. a
former chief justice of the province.
They are set at the head Of Young
avenue. one Of the principal roads OF
the park.
A mile from Young avenue gates
are the Public Gardens, the most cul-
tivated spot nj Canada. and said TO
be its most beautiful garden. An area
of 20 acres is thus given up for pur-
I"tN' Vi II'''NNl' lISht III hS hVti' "a

ally taken up for park purposes il lay
on the outskirts of the town. and was
a hunting field. 1t is laid out in formal
flower beds, Il band stand and precise
walks.

A dozen public buildings, each with
a history, also tended to soften the
lines Of the garrison city" Houses
originally built of wood and Stucco and
later of stone and brick and patterned
after the English style. give the WISH
tor the impression that Halifax is n
corner of London itself, lifted and
transplanted in Nova Scotia.
From the citadel a beautiful view
of the entire city and harbOr Is given.
Facing the water front, n looking
from the fortress may see the entire
business district of Halifax lying par
allel to the docks and extending back
almost a mile from the water front.
On three sides of the citadel the resi-
dence section slopes away to the wa
ter, which almost surrounds the prom
ontory.
Haligonians always took the great
est pride in their public buildings. In
the point of age, Old Martello Tower,
built during the earliest days of the
city's history, is second only to st.
Pauls church. II was used as an out
post when settlers were unable to
leave the Notifications of the colony
without taking chances of being scalp
ed by the Indians.
Other Noted Buildings
The Provincial Building. the Govern
ment House, the City Hall. the DOmin-
ion Building and the new Customs
House were among the edifces Of
which the natives of Halifax boosted.
