l,‘iEeaivy Damage Reported in the, West > Owing to Lack of Storage Facilities GRAIN IN BAD. CONDITION 'A despateh from Winnipeg says: :Wet grain in the westis fdeelaredv tobe a serious feature just now. Hundreds of thousands of bushels {have been exposed to the weather all the winter for want of‘storage facilities. At Verigin, Sask., in one pile, is 500,000 bushels covered with show. This belongs to the Douk- Iho'bors. “It is not a question,”‘ said'a grain man on Wednesday,. “of the ruin of an individual. It‘ is a. question ofthe ruin of whole districts. We are on the verge of the worst calamity which has ever happened in western Canada. From fifteen to twenty per cent. of the cars of grain which have come into Winnipeg have been wet, damp or tough. The same proportion of the gram in the western country still undelivered must be in a simlar condition. A few days of wet weaâ€" ther would destroy the value of every bushel of this grain. To- day'I heard of one elevator with 25,000 bushels which had already all gone bad. The same thing may Blundercd, and Great Good Came of It. ’ A careless grocer left the wrong package at a, Michigan home one day and thereby brought a great blessing to the household. “Two years ago I was a, sufferer from stomach trouble, so acute that the effort to digest ordinary food gave me great pain, and brought on a. condition of such ex- treme nervousness that I could not be left alone. I thought'I should certainly become insane. » I was so reduced in flesh that I was little better than a living skeleton. The doctors failed to give me relief and I despaired of recovery. “One day our groceryman left a. package of Grape-Nuts food by mis- ‘take, so I tried some for dinner. I was surprised to find that it satis- fied my appetite and ,gave‘me no distress whatever; .The‘next mea} “Grape-Nuts is not. only easily digested and assimilated, but I find that, sinos I have been using it I am able to eat anything else my appetite fancies, without trouble from indigestion. The stomach troluble and nervousness have left me, I have regained my plump- ness and my views of life are no longer despondenb and gloomy.“ I ate of it again, and to be brief, I have ,livedr for the past year a1~ most; exclusively on Grape-Nuts. It has proved to be a. most healthful and appetizing food, perfectly adapted to the requirements of my system. Montreal Men Were Absent From Duty and Drunk. HAdespatch from Montreal says; ‘Nine firemen were on' Thursday 'di's- missed from the brigade by Chief ‘Tremblay, with the approval of the Board of Control, the offences a1â€" leged against the men being either drunkenness‘or absence from duty without leave. Two were particuâ€" larly bad cases of firemen neglectâ€" ing their duties while the fire was being fought on Jacques Cartier square last week, and Chief Tremb- «lay said it was necessary to dis- charge the men if the proper dis- cipline was to be maintained in the brigade. ' “Other members of my family. especially my husband, (whose old enemy ‘heartâ€"burn,’ has been van- quished) have also derived great; benefit from the use of Grapeâ€"Nuts food and we think no morning meal complete without it.” Name given by Canadian Postum 00., Windsor, Ever road the above letter?

To alleviate grain congestion at the head of the lakes, it was learned at Winnipeg on Thursday from re- liable anthority that ice three feet thick is being chopped out of ele- vator apprOaches at Fort William and that boats are being run up to the elevator spouts and loaded at an added cost of $2,000 per vessel. There are forty vessels in the bay, and it is estimated that they will hold approximately four million bushels of grain. Grain is, how- ever, coming in too heavily and it will be spring before congestion abates to any noticeable extent.- Replying to morning stories to the effect that 13,000,000 bushels of wheat. lay in western Canada at the present time, W. B. Lanigan, assistant traflic manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway, said that he did notbelieve there was such a guantity. r Arrived at PortSmouth Sunday, 14 Hours Ahead of Time. A despatch from London says: King George and Queen Mary ar- rived at Portsmouth on Sunday, 14 hours ahead of schedule time, on their return from the trip to Delâ€" hi, where his Majesty was crowned as Emperor of India. Thevsteamer yacht Medina, with the Royal party on board, arrived at‘ Spithead at 10 o’clock 'in the morning in a, blinding snow storm. It was known that the steamship would be in ahead of time, but she was not exâ€" pected before the evening and there was no salute from the shore batâ€" teries, which were unprepared for her. Queen-Mother Alexandra and other members of the Royal family Went to Portsmouth in the evening, to meet the King and Queen. Three Pelee Drowned- When Ice Bridge Gave Way: AAdespatch from Niagara Falls, Out, says: The lives of one woman and two men who had ventured to cross the river on Sunday, on the ice bridge were lost in the tuâ€" mult of waters in the Whirlpool Ra.- pids, two miles below the falls, to which point they had drifted on the ice. Thousands witnessed the acci- dent, but were helpless to render aid, although every effort was made. The victims were :â€"E1dridge Staunton, secretary-treasurer of the O. B.
