THE MONTH OF OCTOBEI. Those who were in close touch with the situation, and who knew what was being done to bring about operating economies, could see ‘well in advance that a continuation of these measures, with the usual increases in volume of traffic, would bring the lines together, and that with the seasonal crop move- ment they should cross. It was hard- ly expected and the month of August would show net earnings, but reduc- tions in the costs of materials and sup- plies, coupled with the readjustment of wages, and the increase in gross earnings, were factors which, coni- bined, enabled the management to produce a small balance on the right brought about by the readjustment of wages, effective July 16th. The Canadian National Railways, earlier in the year, informed the peo- ple of Canada, by a series of frank, ex- plicit articles in the public press, of some of its problems, and, in particu- lar, of the pressing need of more traffic. The improvement in the relative posi- tion of the National lines has been ac- complished, not only by the reductions of operating costs, but also through the co-operation of the public that realized the truth of the statements made on the National Railways behalf, and who have met the situation in a practical side for August.

It comes from the old Anglo-Saxon word “garwain” or “gearian,” which meant “to procure," and it is related also to the French word “guerre,” which is really quite similar to the English “war,” if you remember that the "g" has been eliminated from the latter, and that the “u” in the former; was more anciently pronounced some- thing like a “w.” The gartield or “gear-field," was what the name implies, a training or: preparation field set aside for the use of the fighting men of the feudal com- munity. In the period when family names began to take shape individuals living near such places naturally received such surnames as "tie la Garfield" or "atte Garfield." “John 0’ Gear" would have been the ’ John who h\ud charge of the war gear, virtually an armorer, and from this calling have been derived the faiuilyi in this family I name is related to that in our modern ~ 07w Variationsâ€"Daye, Dey, Deye, Dayman and Domain.

I had a persistent cough like bron- chitis, that kept me awake much of the night. My stomach was so dis- ordered my appetite was almost en- tirely gone and all the food I ate gave me indigestion. I had severe pains in the pit of the stomach, and could hard- ly stoop over, the distress was so bad. I was badly constipated and would get dizzy if I stooped over suddenly. At times my head hurt so bad it seem- ed that it would split open, and noth< ing would do me any good. My Wife commenced taking Tanlac and it helped her so much that I de- cided to try it myself.
