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.

AN EVENTFUL LIFE.
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?"

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

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

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."—

Used Him as Eraser.
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

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,

" 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
