The following interesting letter has been received by the Canadian Northâ€" ern Railway Company at Toronto, from Chu Chua, British Columbia, re- garding the development of the minâ€" eralâ€"bearing areas tributary to its main line through the North Thomp- son Valley:~ . “There are about twenty claims staked near here; the first car of gold ore taken from the surface of the Wind Pass Claim had Ia gross value of $1,648.00, and there is another car load ready for shipment. “As soon as the Spring opens up so that we can build wagon roads, there will be large shipments during the coming summer. At present the ore is being taken down the moun- tain side by hand sleds. There is about $50,000 Worth of ore in sight on these claims without very much development work. “At the head waters of Boulder and Canyon Creeks, there are large bodies of copper ore that carry gold and silver values, and large deposits of magnetite iron ore that carry some gold values. “At Blackpool there is ore being shipped that carries both lead and silver. “From the Fog Horn Group at the head of Boulder Creek there were shipped 50 tons of Galena ore with a gross value of $4,000.00. A further shipment of this ore,will be made this winter. “In addition to this part of the North Thompson Valley being a fine farming and ranching country, it is destined to be one of the richest min- eral-producing districts in B. C. All it needs is capital for development.” A LAND OF TRAGEDIES. .â€". Switzerland is Overflowing With the Human Wreckage of The War. “Switzerland is a land of trage- dies,” writes Miss Madeline Doty, in the Nation. “They hit the eye whereâ€" ever one walks. The country is in- habited by trembling old people in deep mourning. Their sons are all dead. They have come here to forget. These sorrowing aged ones bring tiny grandchildren. The land is swarming with curlyâ€"haired, dancingâ€"eyed, pink and white perfections in babyhood. They are the prize children the belli- gerent nations are trying to save. “Besides this mixture of old and young, there is the awful human wreckage of war. Soldiers who have gone crazy and walk with shuffling feet and hanging mouth, tubercular warriors, gasping and white, and men who are only stumps riding about in wheeled chairs. “All that is best and worst in man- kind is here in evidence.” 0 How To Relieve Catarrhal Deafness or Head Noises if you have catarrh. calarrhal deafness or head noises caused by catarrh, or if phlegm drops in your throat and has caused catarrh of the stomach or bovvels you will be glad to know that these dis- tressing symptoms may be entirely overâ€" come in many instances by the following treatment which you can easily prepare in your own home at little cost.

With the price of beef and other meats soaring to hitherto unheardcf ing stories about the future prices of boots and shoes and other articles imadc of leather, there may be a modicum of comfort to be taken from the fact that the farmers and ranch- ers of Western Canada are now turnâ€" ing their attention to cattle and stock raising to an extent that would not been believed possible a few years ago. According to the figures given in the Census and Statistics Bulletin is- sued by the Department of Trade and western provinces show large creases in the number of livestock raised in 1916, as compared with 1913 the year previous to the war. The figures for hogs show a decrease, due to the several large war orders receivâ€" Ed by some of the western packing firms from the allies. One firm alone is said to have received an order for ham and bacon that called for 351,000 head of hogs. The increase in the number sheep is one of the outstanding fea- tures of the government report. The increase, approximately 30 percent. is very gratifying. Many of the smaller flocks of sheep as they have found out that the climate was very suitable to them, provided a certain amount of shelter was supplied during the short periods when the weather might otherwise be too severe. The report estimates that there are at present 2,048,354 cattle in the three western provinces, 565,709 being milch cows and the balance beef and other cattle. This shows an increase of nearly 15 percent over 1913, and also the very large number of beef cattle that have been marketed during the past couple of years must be taken in- to consideration. Many large war orders were filled in Western Canada. The Dominion and Provincial Gov- ernments and the Canadian Pacific Railway, through its Agricultural and Animal Industry Branch, have all aid- ed the farmers in every possible way, and have published broadcast litera- ture showing the best results that have been obtained on the various ex- perimental and demonstration farms. The Canadian Pacific has several of these farms throughout the West, with an expert in charge of each, and at every cattle sale these farms are class, both for breeding, milch and beef animals. The experts in charge of these farms will at all times aid in any way they can the farmer who seeks advice with reference to the best stock to go in for and also the proper way to secure the greatest results. While there is no prospect of an imâ€" as a result of the increasei‘ interest displayed by the farmers of the west, the prairies of the Canadian West have unlimited room for the raising of all kinds of livestock, and with the farmers taking a greater interest in livestock than ever before, Canada is destined to playalarge part in solv- ing the meat problem which the world i now faces, and which is likely to be- come still more acute at the close of the war when European countries will be buying animals to replenish their herds. hummus of Baby’s Own Tablets. I have used them for my children and find they are the best medicine a mother can give her little ones. I would strongly recommend them to all mothers who have fretful babies.” The Tablets reâ€" gulate the bowels and stomach; break up colds and simple fevers; expel worms; cure vomiting and indigestion and make teething easy. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. _.â€"_~..4p___._ Cost of Bad Roads. A company in Stanislaus county, California, that buys skimmed milk from the farmer has demonstrated to the rural residents in an emphatic ‘manner the value of good roads to them. This company sends trucks di~ rectly to the farms to collect the skim- farmers living on good roads than on 'bad roads. On poor roads the com- ;pany pays 17% cents per 100 pounds, fbut on the good roads it pays 20 cents. 50f course, the farmer always has been [paying this tax on every hundred Tpounds he hauled over bad roads and the has been relieved of it on every ;hundred pounds he had hauled over lgood roads, but that fact has not been brought to his notice as in the :cited.

His Life To Them 200 Dodd’s Kidney Miles Pills. for Sandy Goulette, Now Strong and Hearty, Tells How He Found Health After the Doctors Had Given Him Up. Old Fort Bay, Labradore, Que.â€"~ Feb’y 26th (Special.)-~“D0 I believe in Dodd's Kidney Pills '.7 “’ell, I tele- graphed two hundred miles to get two boxes of them."

There have been no great epidemics such as have marked other wars, and England is greatly pleased with the work of the Royal Army Medical Corps, which has solved great medical problems during the war. The Somme advance with its death grapple of mighty armies lasting months was a great test for the medical service, with many and serious wounds to 'ireat and the danger of infection. Canada and the Monroe Doctrine. If the British navy were beaten, Germany next spring could land a large army on the east coast of Can- ada and there would be nothing to prevent it crossing the four thousand miles of the continent, leaving a trail such as was left in Beligum, in P01- and, in Serbia and in Rumania. â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"§____ Mansonville, June 27, ’13.

The unusually cold weather in Eng- land in February and the consequent il'evival of skating has proved a great {novelty to the soldiers from Austra- lia and New Zealand, many of whom tried to skate on the stretches outside London. One man ,with one leg and two rubber-shod crutches made quite good progress at Richmond, with ocr-asional lapses from the perpendicular. At Walton-on- Thames, where the New Zealand Hosâ€" various safe pita] is, the men were enjoying the sport greatly. , There were some Canadians who lwere experts in skating, and at Re- lgent’s Park one wounded man from lMontreal gave a good exhibition of figure-skating.
