PROMISES TO PRINCE RUPERT.

Sir Henry Thornton, the new head of the Canadian National Railways. which includes the Grand Trunk has been al Vancouver and Prince Rupert Both of these towns have been trying to induce the Govern ment to establish elevators for the reception of grain from the Interior for shipment to Europe While II is said Sir Henry made promises this point al Prince Rupert he did promise the people of the Grand Trunk terminal city that the Government would give them adequate facilities for the shipment of lumber and make rates that would encourage the movement of lumber from the interior of British Columbia to Prince Rupert for ocean transport.
 There is good reason why Prince Rupert should become important shipping point for lumber There are many sawmills along the line of the Grand Trunk which have outlet for their output which could be made to exceed local demands It is contended that more mills and logging would result if they given access to foreign markets
 While Prince Rupert is in British Columbia it is northern city and the legitimate growth that town will contribute its part to the welfare of the whole north country.

 Not every woman has red hair, but we never yet have met a woman who occasionally didn't get red-headed about the fool things her husband does
 Mother may worry about daughter marrying and leaving home, but she doesn't worry over that half as much as father does over her marrying and bringing sondn-law home for him to support.

DRUGS EXCITE THE KIDNEYS.
 DRINK WATER
Take Salts at First Sign of Bladder Irritation or
 Baokache.

The American men and women must guard constantly against kid ney trouble because we often eat too much rich food Our blood is filled with acids which the kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken from oyerwork, become sluggish, the eliminatye tissues clog and the re- suit is kidney trouble, bladder weak ness and a general decline in health.
 When your kidneys feel like humps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy. full of sediment, or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache, or dizzy, neroyus spells, acid stomach, or if you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, begin drinking lots of good soft water and get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts Take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine.
 HIS ldlHouS SdltS lS uudue lTOln the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate elogged kidneys, to neu- tralize the acids in the system SO they no longer are a source of irri- tation, thus often relieving bladder disorders.

a certain advantage in being able to
take her house with her in her travels
with her husband. and says that she
will miss 1t when she returns to west
