2 CANADA'S GOOD TIMES. The Immigration During 1906 Wat 216,000. While it is well to heed every word of caution from the leaders in commerce and linance and to avoid all speculative ventures that lack a solid business foundation, it is clearly evident that there is no conspicuous weak spot in Canada's present era of prosperity. The Toronto Globe says: "The Dominion has in a commercial sense plenty of money, and our lead ing financial institutions are in a po sition to lend freely in the United States. The chief productive enter prises of Canada are not buoyed up by an era of dangerous speculation, but are following substantial busi ness methods and finding safe and continuous markets for their goods. We are not bolstering up any indus tries by extensive export bonuses that must impoverish the people as a whole, and ultimately lead to col lapse through the failure of the arti ficial aid. There is no extreme pro tection in Canada such as would cre ate great fortunes tor a few at the expense of the general public and lead to disruption and catastrophe. The prosperity of Canada has no ar tificial foundation being based on a healthy and substantial expansion of trade and industry, with a proportion ate extension of productive settlement to new areas. It. is true that we are borrowing extensively for railway construction, but every iine will bring new terri tory within the limits of profitable occupation, and will create prosper ous settlements to bear the burdens and repay the outlay. We are not exiialisting mineral resources, for it is quite reasonable to assume that, although mineral wealth is never permanent, ours will during the measurable future develop a far greater productive capacity than at present. Our timber wealth can be made continuous by a judicious pol icy. And agriculture, the real foun dation of our prosperity, is expanding with every new expenditure on rail way construction. We are not in the flush ojka railway mania that could bring Its punishment through the useless duplication of lines. The gigantic railway enterprises that now stimulate every line of business in Canada will create a new Domin ion. and thus render easy the heavy burdens of debt now freely assumed. Canada's era of prosperity has been unprecedented, but there is no sign of weakness and no cause for lack of confidence. While our growth is normal and healthy, we need have no alarm at its rapidity." This article might have gone onto relate the great growth that is taking place in Central Canada, where thousands of Americans have made their homes during the past few years. The past calendar year lias given to Canada by importation an addition of 210,000 to its population. Of this the United States contributed 03,781. The agents of the Canadian government, whose advertisement appears elsewhere, say thai this number will be largely in creased during 1907. A Precious Heritage. Sweetness of temper is a precious heritage, it. gives beauty to every thing. It keeps its windows open to wards the spice country, and fills the home with perpetual delight. The for tunate possessor of a sunny soul is God's evangel in a dark world. He is a living Gospel, which no one will ever repudiate, and the blessedness of which all men will appreciate. The body will grow old and the smooth brow will be furrowed, but a happy disposition is an aureole to the grey crown of age. Blessed is he whose life looks out upon the land of Heulah, and whose soul is responsive to the outlying vision."—Exchange.

A Brief Sketch of a Great Physician and Surgeon. The widely known Dr. David Ken nedy was graduated from the medical department of Columbia University in 1860; for three years resident sur geon in the "S --d u 11 g one of the most successful surgeons in the Gov ernment service; member of the Ul ster County Medical Society and other scientific and medical associations; for over thirty-five years in active practice of medicine and surgery in Rondout, N. Y., becoming one of the leading .surgeons of the Hudson River Valley, his great ability and skill be ing undisputed, and his reputation ex tending from New York to neighboring states. He was a Now York Presiden tial Elector in 1592, Mayor of his city for two terms and occupied many other public and private positions of trust and honor. It is interesting to learn that in the early days of his large practice lie em ployed a prescription that he termed his "favorite remedy" because it was invariably successful in the treatment of the various cases coming under his care, where a preparation was indi cated for the Kidneys, Liver or Blood. In IS7o the demand for this medicine was so great that he decided to place it before the public, and from that time Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy (as it has since been known) has become one of our standard family remedies. The business soon grew to immense proportions and the large laboratories and oilices in Rondout stand as positive proof of its won derful success, due to absolute merit, aided by systematic judicious and hon est advertising. The strong point about Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is that its cures are permanent, and it will be our pleasure, in subsequent issues of tliis paper, to print specific instances of this convincing feature. It is proper to add here that Favor ite Remedy is not a "patent" or "se cret" medicine, since its composition Is given upon request, and it is not a "cure all." It has cured many cases of Kidney, Liver and Blood troubles (and associated ailments) which have been practically abandoned by physi cians. It is sold in over 40,000 drug stores in this country at only SI.OO a bottle, or the manufacturers will send It direct and prepay charges if a drug gist is not handy. Every year Dr. David Kennedy's Sons, Rondout, X. Y., mail millions of free medical booklets and sample bottle (to any one writing for them) parts of the world, this being one of their methods of ad vertising the merit of this valuable remedy. Expensive City to Live In. High prices continue to rule in Daw son City, which is probably the most expensive town in the world. It is a thriving place with a population of over 8,000, with warehouses, churches, banks, electric lights, wholesale and retail stores and two up-to-date news papers. The newspapers themselves are worthy of consideration in the light of expense, for they cost 25 cents a copy. At this time of the year three eggs ordered in a restaurant cost $1.50, while a caribou steak costs one dollar. Beer is worth one dollar a bot tle and champagne $10.50 a quart. Of Interest to Women. Every woman naturally should be healthy and strong, but a great many women, unfortunately, are not, owing to the unnatural condition of the lives we lead. Headache, backache and a general tired condition are prevalent amongst the women of to-day, and to relieve these conditions women rush to the druggists for a bottle of some preparation supposed to be particular ly for them, and containing—npbody knows what. If they would just get a box of Brandreth's Pills, and take them regularly every night for a time, all their trouble would disappear, as these pills regulate the organs of the feminine system. The same dose al ways has the same effect, no matter how long they are used. Brandreth's pills have been in use for over a century, and are for sale everywhere, plain or sugar-coated. English Tongue-Twisters. The English language has Its own peculiar terrors. Who would not. pity the foreigner attempting to under stand such sentences as "It was put in case in case it should rain. I'he first one won one sovereign." "I will come by-and-by and buy a bicycle?" And how could you expect a German to get at the real meaning of the metaphors in the following sentence— "Being unhorsed he dogged his man and soon.had him cowed?" SIOO Reward, SIOO.

VERNON IS IT IS HI Mount Vernon as It Now Appears. —1 To come upon Mount Vernon / w ' len sunlight 112 M 3 floods the long s'retc'l their legs pjMR and yawn at your see the old place as when Washington met his friends half way down the drive, or saluted them from afar. This is as you find it when you are set down like a duck in a puddle, right on the edge of the most historic spot in America. You pass along in the shadow of the squat brick wall, topped off with orna mental pickets, past, the higher red brick wall mottled with patches of whitewash and topped off with its moss-grown coping, that winds along up the hill like a huge snake, over which the red roofs show in utter defi ance of its great landlord's effort to hide their every day existence and homely suggestions. While you pon der why Washington's back door was Tomb of Washington in Summer Time. his front floor, and prepare to salute tlie shades of his greatness, a man with a camera arid a "taking" expres sion whirls into view, and before you know it yours is one of the strange faces that looks out from the gallery, all wondering, even though knowing, what he is going to do. But it's of no use to fret. Like trouble, he is ever with you—thicker than dandelions on a summer green. If he divides the honors with any one, it's with the woman who wants a souvenir of Gen eral Washington. Here in the banquet room, on the spot where Lafayette, liochambeau, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, and the Artists Iloudon, Peale and Trum bull, besides many great revolutionary generals, dined, the women hold their executive sessions. The beautiful silver mounted mirror that adorned Washington's banquet board is re moved, and upon the table they write of the progress that saved the old house from ruin. To the Regents of the Mount Vernon association, who come once each springtime and actu ally live, eat, and drink, and sleep under the famous old roof, docs the place owe its air of homelike com fort, as well as its preservation. It is the banquet room that was prepared for the first time by the hands of Lafayette and a company of French noblemen, who chanced to be house guests. The story runs that a ball was to be «iven, and the im ported paper had arrived, but no paperhangers. Mrs. Washington mourned, but the chivalrous Lafayette, always ready to do or die, consoled her—he was equal 10 the emengency, and he and his friends hung the paper, assisted by the general and his house hold. In this historic room, the wo men are literally surrounded by the priceless treasures that they have collected from the fading past for (lie benefit, of future generations. The Washington that Rembrandt I'eale pictures, facing the difficulties of Yorktown, glorifies the side of the room, while front a mahogany cabinet cornea a substantial suggestion of the convivial cheer that.,went around the! festive board through the medium of ! the ponderous punch bowl, or the I quaintly cut champagne glasses. Many a trifle that tells of the love of fem inine finery fills another case—raro 1 bits of lace, miniatures, silver and j china—a delicious bit of feminine folly j woven indelibly into the meshes of j all time. It does seem a bit ghastly to turn in'! with the ghosts of the great, upon the j bed where Washington died, but it I has been done; and, too, where Lafay- J ette rested. On the quaint little dress ing case, where reposed his august cue, I now, each springtime, lies a riotous : mass of modern hairpins and feminine furbelows. The sitting room of Nellie j Custis, that of Martha Washington, j the family dining room and the library, 1 each with its wealth of heirlooms, tolls i of thr* painstaking care and research | of many years. In these rooms the j Regents sleep, and work, and live, and I imbue themselves with the spirit of the Washingtons. The attendants, for the most part, are more replete with new uniforms than historical information, but there I is reason for knowing that it was in ! the dear old library that Washington | received the official announcement of I his election as president of the United j States. There are 17 closets in three I sides of this room—curious little ! closets within closets, none perceptible to the passing traveler, but cleverly concealed as a part of the walls and woodwork. You must wade knee deep through cherry tokens to reach the old con servatory, with the quaint, rambling servants' quarters tucked away under the eaves on each side, while sloping roofs and whitewashed walls remind one somehow of Bobbie Burns. It is curious how the American trav eler prefers to pilfer his historic treasures rather than to pay a trifle for them. The old gardener thinks this is the ease, and it is only by the greatest vigilance that he has for so many years preserved the*, historic out line of the garden as originally planted and laid off by Washington. Again, Mrs. Leiter's generosity and fine judg ment are shown, for she is chairman of the committee on grounds and shrubs, as well as interested in the garden and greenhouse. Many a rare plant finds its way to Mount Vernon through her efforts. The gardens ar® maintained at an expense of over $2,000, but between SGOO and S7OO ol this amount is realized from the sale of plants. Mrs. Phoebe Hearst is a model farmer, and spends her money and talent freely. She has preserved and beautified the wharf at an ex pense of more than SIO,OOO. She di rects the superintendent as to the vegetable garden that supplies the table maintained for the attendants, advises about the deer park that hangs on the hill's edge over the Potomac, and otherwise acts as a beneficent power all about the prem ises. She took a practical view of the herd of Jersey cattle that, browsed around, and when they failed to keep the old-fashioned mllkhouse as well supplied as necessary she had them sold and a pretty herd of Guernseys driven in. In the spacious old kitchen where things run riot, the traveler buys either a glass of milk or a picture to carry away as a souvenir. Somehow, one can't help but feel that even the kine belonged to Washington, because they browse on his fflantation. CAUGHT BY THE GRIP RELEASED BY PE-RU-NA. EFFECTIVE MEDICINE FOR LA GRIPPE. Itobt. L. Madison, A. M., Principal of Cullowhee High School, Painter, N. C., writes: "Peruna is the most effective medicine that 1 have ever tried for la grippe. It also cured my wife of nasal catarrh. Her condition at one time ' was such that she could not at night breathe through her nostrils." LA GRIPPE AND SYSTEMIC CATARRH. Mrs. Jennie W. Gilmore, Box 44, White Oak, Ind. Ter., writes: "Six years ago I had la grippe, fol lowed by systemic catarrh. The only thing I used was Peruna and Manalin, and I have been in better health the last three years than for years be fore." Mrs. Jane Gift, Athens, Ohio, writes: "Six years ago I had la grippe very bad. My husband bought me a bottle of Peruna. I was soon able to do my j work." ONE DAY BEHIND SCHEDULE. Boston Business Man Wanted to Take Time to Catch Up. Several years ago, when the Univer sity of Chicago held its decennial celebration, John 1). Rockefeller was its guest for several days. A bewild ering succession of functions followed one another in such quick succession that each affair was from one to four hours late. At the great banquet on the closing day, Mr. Rockefeller, in his after dinner speech, told the following story: ,- I have felt for the past 24 hours like the Boston business man who lived in the suburbs and came into his offico every day. One winter after noon he took the train for his home, but a terrific snowstorm was raging, and about half way to his suburb the train was snowed in. All night the passengers were imprisoned, but early in the morning they managed to reach a near-by telegraph station, and the Boston man sent the following dis patch to his oflice: " 'Will not be in the office to-day. Have not got home yesterday yet."— Montreal Herald. A Big Bargain for 12 Cents Postpaid, The year of 1006 was one of prodigal plenty on our seed farms.

The late Dr. Henry Martyn Field some years ago related at a Williams alumni dinner a rather amusing inci dent of his freshman days at college. Being only 12 years old when he entered he had not reached the point where the natural friction between the big boy and the small boy ceases and he was at particular feud with one of his fellows, a stalwart country youth fresh from the farm. One day young Field went early to the classroom and put upon the big blockboard a very exasperating caricature of his en emy, with his name beneath. When the aggrieved party saw what had been done he said not a word, but catching up his youthful tormentor, ho used him as an eraser and after rub bing out the offensive picture quietly took his seat. Many Americans Goto Canada. Consul Harry A. Conant writes from Windsor that the total immigration from the 1 nited States into Canada for the four months of the fiscal year —July, August, September and Octo ber—was 17,907, as compared with 12,- Cil4 for the same period the year be fore. SUFFERED TWELVE YEARS FROM AFIER EFFECTS OF LA GRIPPE. Mr. Victor Patneaude, 328 Madison St., Topeka, Kan., writes: "Twelve years ago I had a severe I attack of la grippe and I never really ; recovered my health until two years ago. I began using Peruna and it built up my strength so that in a cou ple of months I was able togo to work again." PNEUMONIA FOLLOWED LA GRIPPE. Mr. T. Barnecott, West Aylmer, On tario, (Jan., writes: "Last winter I was ill with pneu monia after having la grippe. I took Peruna for two months, when I be came quite well." PE-RU-NA—A TONIC AFTER LA GRIPPE. Mrs. Chas. E. Wells, Sr., Delaware, Ohio, writes: "After a severe attack of la grippe, I took Peruna and found it a very good tonic." Also Gives Away Libraries. James J. H. Gregory of Marble head, .Mass., is a rival of Andrew Car negie in the giving away of libraries. He has been doing this for years. 11 is libraries are smaller than Carnegie's gifts and are given to small communi ties, to ministers and educators who cannot afford to purchase them. Red, Rough, Blotchy Skin is usually the result of using a cheap, impure soap made from stale fat and alkali cheaply perfumed to disguise the real odor.

Moreover, it con tains an antiseptic which protects the skin against disease. Ask your deal er for it.

"Oh, I am dreadfully worried about him. You see, that careless nurse left, him too near the steam radiator and he actually turned red." "Gracious!" "Then we rushed him out in the cool all - and he turned white." "You don't mean it?" "Yes, and when we gave him hia bath he turned blue." "Oh, I wouldn't worry over him. He is just a genuine American baby. Hur rah for the 'Red. White and iilue.'" " STILL MORE PROOF Thnt Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Have Cured Even the Most Stubborn Cases of Rheumatism. "When I was a boy of sixteen," says Mr. Otto H. Hose, a retired grocer, o-f 1226 Lexington Avenue, Indianapolis, Ind., "I met with a serious accident which injured the bone of my head over the right eye. I recovered from the accident to all appearances, but not many years after I began to have intense pains in the injured bone, which came on every year and would last from a few days to several weeks. "I consulted the doctors who told me that I was suffering from neural gia. The sight of my right eye was affected, so that at times I could scarcely see out of it, while both eyes watered constantly. During these at tacks I was often dizzy from the ter rible pains. The pains came on every morning and passed away in the after noon. I never suffered from the pain at night. "I tried without success to get re lief until a friend told me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When I had taken a few boxes I felt the pain growing less intense and in a much shorter time than I had hoped for I was entirely cured. I have recom mended tho pills to several persons, who have used them with jrood results. "My wife uses Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for nervous hendaches and tlnds them the host medicine r'.ic has ever used r.s they give relief where all qth ers fail."
