HONEST TEA IS THE BEST POLICY LARGEST SALE IN THE WORLD THE BRITISH LAND SCHEME Chancellor Would Retain People on Land and En- hance Agricultural Production , - - A despatch from Swindon, Eng- land, says: Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, Lloyd George, on Wed- nesday afternoon dotted the "i's" and crossed the "t's" of the speech in which ho inaugurated the Gov- ernment's land campaign at Bed- ford on October 11. He then' said that it was his object to "free Bri- tish land from landlordism and, get the people back on it." The two purpose* the Government had set itself, ho said, were to attract and to retain the rural population on the land, and to devise means to develop both the quantity and the quality of the total agricultural production of the British Isles. Everything, he asserted, would be ubordinated to the attainment of these two objects. As the first step, said tho Chancellor, it was pro- posed to establish a Ministry of Lands, with control and supervi- sion of all questions dealing with the users of land both in town and country, and the functions of the present Board of Agriculture would be transferred to the new Ministry. The Government, he said, intended to take the land out of Chancery. Hereafter if a landlord found that "some silly settlement" hampered his Kohrmes for improving his land he could apply to the Ministry of Lands, which would enable him to override the. harrier. The new Min- istry, he continued, would operate through commissioners, who would act in a judicial capacity, and have the same power to reduce rents on small farms as the Scottish courts now pos-soss. Large farmern also would have tho right to appeal to the commissioners for a reduction of rent if the action of the State caused a rise in the wages of the farm laborer. In such an event the landlord would have to come in as a contributor, and in times of great agricultural depression a tempor- ary lessening of the rent would be obtainable. The new Minister of Lands, ac- cording to the Chancellor, is to be given full power to acquire at a reasonable price all waste, derelict and neglected tracts of land and to plant them with forests, and to re- claim and drain the springs on such lands with a vierv to their cultiva- tion to the full limit of their possi- bilities The Ministry is to be not only empowered but instructed to act, and the resources of the State would be placed at its disposal for this purpose. If men want sport, said the Chancellor, it must be at their own expense, and tho game laws would be revised in this direc- tion. The establishment of a fair mini- mum -wage for laborers, with rea- sonable hours of work, decent hous- ing and the prospect of the laborer obtaining a bit of land for himself, would all be within the scope of the powers of the Commissioners, who would have authority to fix the price of the land in the case of com- pulsory acquisition. The Govern- ment proposed, the Chancellor con- cluded, to remedy the grave defi ciency of cottages in the country b> building some themselves with State funds, and "wo have got a nice littlo fund at hand tho insur- ance reserve fund." The announcement of the land proposals by Chancellor Lloyd George was made by an absolute and unanimous, decision reached at recent meetings of tho Cabinet. IltNTKR'S STRANGE APPAREL Lont II in Clothing in Camp Fire and Wore a Barrel. A despatch from Port Arthur, Ont., says: Attired only in a bar- rel packed with a small quantity of straw, Alfred Sara, a local clerk, was found Tuesday night wandering around in the rain twenty miles dfiwn the lake shore from here, and when found by a t-earch party was delirious and in a serious condition. He went on a hunting trip and be,- camo i-eparatod from his friends. llf wandered round in the bush two days, and then found a deserted camp, where ho started a fire and removed all of his clothing, which he placed before the fire to dry. He went U> Bleep between mattresses, and when he awoke found the build- ing burning and all his clothes de- stroyed, whereupon hn had. to lind shelter in a barrel. He ia expected to recover.

Ono frequently reads distressing ac- counts of aooldeuta to chi'dron, accideiits which seem unnecessary and preventable. I here was an item just the other day con- cerning a little four-yoar-old, who climbed up to a high cupboard, secured a bottle of of poison aud drank it. We call such oc- currences accidents, and no doubt many of them are. But many others, it is cer- tain, are merely the natural r*ult, of a very general and regrettable cauo. And thin causa ia the laiucbi of modern par- ental discipline. The lasinrss of parents who will t not take tho time and trouble to enforce obe- dience from their children almobt belongs In the claM of criminal negligence. Strict discipline, not Indulgence is what maliou for the real happiness of children i and aleo It i the best means of securing their safety. Dangerous object* cannot always be kept from tholr reach, but children can be taught not to meddle with tho pro- perty of others, and they can be taught to obey absolutely. There is very little of this absolute obedience seen lately. One of the new plays of tho fall deals with that very subject, the domination of mod- ern children over their parents. Unfortu- nately it ia a weak play, not adequate to the theme. But what a subject that la for a playwright of the day, full of tragio ae well as comic possibilities. A 200-foot Flagpole. The erection of a flagpole in front of I the Provincial Court House at Vancouver, Hi', has presented unusual feature* be- cause of the desire to use a long, single stick, representative of the timber re- j sources of the Province, and to BO place It that its base would be secure from de- cay. A suitable timber was cut and de- livered in tha rough at the Court House in the fall of 1912. It was left for a year to season, when there would bo no likell- hood of lt curving when drying. In Sep- tember, 1913, It was moved on rollers to its final location. The flagpole is 208 feet long, 36 inches in diameter at the bae and 10 inches at the top, and when ready for encetion weighed about ten tons. Sur- mounting the pole is a four-foot globe and a twenty-foot weather vane In the shape of an arrow. Extension of Suffrage In Europe, Evidences abound of the steady onward march of democracy in Europe through the enlargement of the nulfrage.

Even Illiterates will be al- lowed to vote in the approaching elec- tions. And now In Denmark the struggle that began in earnest forty years ago for a more liberal voting franchise bids fair to be victorious. The Danes have been fighting for a re- duction of the voting age limit to twenty- five years, for the extension of the suf- frage to women ou the same basis ae that of males, for the rt^noval of property Qualifications for votiug and for the popu- larisation of the upper house of tho Dan- ish Parliament. All those iusurea will go Into effect provided they are Indorsed by a majority of the electors in the forthcoming appeal to the country, and of that there Is said not to be the slightest doubt. Tho on- coming wave of popular rule has washed the shores of Deumark and is likely to wet, the feet of standpal l)auee. Racial Butt of Rudeness. All r.i.-. B are caricatured upon the stage. The comic Englishman is uuite as much food for laughter as the comio Jew or the I oornic German. None of it Is a very high | form of wit; and none of it is any form of art at ail. A more refined taste on tho i part of the audiences would sweep the whole "slap-stick" business Into the dust- heap. But when many people find them- selves wounded by this sort of thing, then we cannot wait for the elevation of taste- we must u.-t more directly aud quickly. To permit the playhouse to be mode u scene of discomfort fur any con- siderable section of the community ia not only poor business- it is a low grade o( civilization. Roads Will Be Numbered and Named. In France a new system of road desig- nation for tho convenience of tourists has been adopted. Every road in tho country will be given a name and a number ana t.ii'BO designations will be painted upon direction posts at the road cronoiiiga and the 100-meter pouts along the roads. The highways of Franco are .:.> i-. ,i as na- tional roadrt. department roadn, and so on. Tho roads in each caso will be numbered. Tha direction post will state tho i ..in, of highway and the number of tho rond. The tourist starting on a journey will need only a strip of llgurcH, and he will bo able to ilrid his way anywhere.

Young men who are dun-ounized tMOftdM they lack capital to i -;:..!.. li great enterprises should consider the case of Thoruiia Sporry and take heart, lie capitalized an original idea and uiude it worth $10.- A despatch from Ottawa says: A striking feature in the statement of , the trade of Canada, for the month i of September, issued by Hon. J. D. Rid, Minister of Customs, is the i decrease of imports and the in- ; crease of exports. Dutiable goods , to the value of $37,997,000 and free i goods to the amount of $16,342,000 were imported during September ; last. The imports for the corres- ponding month of 1912 were $38,- 1 548,000 dutiable goods, and $19,- 307,000 of free goods. Exports for last September were $37,0-18,000 of I domestic goods and $4,071,000 of foreign 'goods, as against $25,814,- 000 domestic and $3,153,000 foreign for September, 1912. The total ex- j ports for the six months ending | September 30th last were, all of j domestic goods, $188,405.000, and I foreign goods, $22,812.000, as ! against $162,427.000 of domestic and $15,972,000 foreign for the six months ending September 30th, 1912. The exports of agricultural pro- duoe show a big increase, being $11,829,000 for September, 1913, compared with $6,575,000 for Sep- tember, 1912. There are big in- creases in exports all along tha line. Exports of mineral* for Sep- tember last were $6,402,000, and for the previous September, $5,278,000. Exports of manufactures also show an increase, being $5,041.000 for September, 1913, as against $3,587,- 000 for September, 1912. Canadian trade was never in a more prosperous condition, as tha total Canadian trade for September last was close upon one hundred millions, the actual figures being $95,665,000, compared with $87,- 606,000 for September, 1918- For the first 6ix months of the present fiscal year ending Stptember 30th last, total Canadian trade was $551,978.000, compared with $508,- 265,000 for the corresponding six months of the fiscal year 1912. NEW WELLAND CANAL. ( HII i>i;i N SUFFOCATED. Sud Affair at Norlh Itattleford, SHkulch<Mvan. A despatch from North Battle- ford, Sask., says: Two colored children, aged sixteen and twenty- eiht months, were suffocated by smoke in a shack off Railway Ave- nue, North Bnttlpford, on Friday. The mother, Mrs. Mark Daniels, left tho children in a perambulator apparently asleep while she went to the city. Shortly after smoko wan noticed coming from the build- ing. On the arrival of the firo bri- gade, tho perambulator containing the children was wheeled out and both were, dead. TIIK VOLTFRNO DISASTER. Ono Hundred and Forty-four Too- pic IVrwhcd. A despatch from New York says : The, total death roll in tho Volturno i,,',., was fixed on Thursday night by the Uranium Steamship Company atone hundred and forty- tour. Of these twelve were pasten- gors. ('-apt. Griffiths of the, steam- ship Star of Ireland, which sailed from Cardiff, reported to the Ura- nium Company that hn had passed the Volturno last Thursday, still burning, about 68 west southwest of tho place where she was aban- doned. The world has places of honor and dis- tinction for men who can think, who can lift their minds out of the endlona circle of aimless thinking and give definite dir- ection to their thoughts. Thomas 8perry observed the custom of sonio merchants to give their customers what the French call "lagniapjie" and the Knanish call "pelpn." He conoeived the idea of systematizing the practice and making it a magnet to draw trade. The trading stamp was the result and for- tune smiled on him. Progress is but the result of the appli- cation of now Ideas to old nays of doing things. A man's mind Is his host capital It is a bank aevouut that increases us it is drawn upon. In this land of opportunity no man Is poor who has an unclouded mind and the energy to work to translate his plans into deeds. Britain's Navy Is Crowing. It is reported unofficially that the new bnttleuhip Queen Mary made a record l>red of 35 7 knots on her trials. It is impossible to realise exactly what this need signifies without taking Into con- sideration the huge site of the vessel. riir vessel was built at Jarrow and is fitted with Parsons turbines. Her contract speed was 28 knots. Hhe is armed with eight 13.5-lnoh guns, unless Hi.-, n have been changed to 14-inch as .n. suggest- ed. In appearance she is much the same as the battle cruiser New Zealand, only she is 105 feet longer and hn nine feet more beam. Her tndioaiixj hnrecixrwer is 75.000. as compared to the New Zealand s 46,894. lint even the Queen Mary will have to play n- ..mi tlddle to the Tiger, a battle cruiser of 28.000 toon to the Queen Mary's 27,000. The Tiger has 25,000 more indicated horsepower than tho Quoon Mary, and although her contract speed Is only 28 knots, it will be Interest- ing to watch her trials. Besides these two superb vessels, Ort-at Britain will coon be putting into the first line the bat- tleships Queen KlUn-heth. Waraplto and Valiant, each of 27.500 tons displacement. An a nquadron these batt'eshirm and bat- tle cruisers would b distinctly danger- ous. Their speed alone would make them unpleasant customers to any fleet the least bit slower and their hitting power being so terrific, they possibly would ho twitter to avoid than engage. The trouble Is that It would be extremely difficult to avoid them. FELL DOWN MINE SU.VFT. Every Bonn In tho Miner's Body Was Broken. A despatch from Iron Mountain, Michigan, say : Gunard Johnston, a miner twenty-four years old, wa Instantly killed at the Ohapin Mine on Wednesday, when he fell nine hundred feet down a shaft. John- ston struck on his head and every- bone in his body was broken. Contractors For Section No. 3 Hare Commenced Mori,. A despatch from Thorold say* : | O'Brien, Dougheny, Quinlan &. I Robertson, the contractors for Sec- j tion No. 3, the principal section on j the new Welland ship canal, the ' cost of which is to be some ten mil- lion dollars, are opening offices in the brick building on Chappell Street formerly owned by the Cal- cott estate, but recently taken over by the Dominion Government on account of being on the canal right of way. Three steam shovels are now at work preparing tho cut to which the Grand Trunk Railway | Company's tracks will be removed. as tho present line of railway is j where tho canal will be. The j Grand Trunk station will be re- moved farther south in the town. A $4,0t)0,0n0 GIFT. New Yorker's Splendid Generosity to Cornell. A despatch from Ithaca, N.Y., says : A gift of approximately $4,000,000 to Cornell University Medical College was announced on Thursday on beJialf of the Board of Trustees. While no official state- ment was made, it is believed that the gift, the largest in the history of the University, was made by Oliver Payne of New York. The interest from the new gift will give the medical college an annual in- come of $200,000. Headache Over the Eyes ? Loot For Basal Catarrh Catarrh Never Stopi In One Place > It Spreads Rapidly Often Ruin* Health Completely. In this changeable climate It is tha little colds that drift Into Catarrh. Unless the Inflammation Is checked It passes rapidly from the throat or nose to the bronchial tubes and then to the lungs. You can't make new lungs any more than you can make new flngers or toes, but you can cure Catarrh. Tho surest cure consists of breath- Ing In the healing balsamic essences of CATARHHOZONB, which Is simply a medicated vapor so full of rich cur- ative properties that every trace of Catarrh vanishes before it. "The soothing plney vapor of Ca- tarrhozono Is the most powerful medi- cine I ever used," writes Mrs. Edmond J. Christine, of Saskatoon. "Every breath drawn through the Inhaler sends a grateful feeling through the air passages of tho nose and throat. Catarrhozone cured me of frightful headaches over the eyes, relieved me of a stuffy feeling in the nose, and an irritable hacking cough that had been the bane of my life for a year. My general health Is greatly Improved, my appetite and digestion are consid- erably better than before. Catarrh- ozone has been the means of giving me such health as I always desired, but never possessed." Even^ though catarrh has a firm hold ofl you, and affects your throat, nose or ears, you can thoroughly cure it with Catarrhozone. Large size, guaranteed, costs Jl.OO; smaller size 50c.; sample size, 25c. All storekeep- ers and druggists, or The Catarrho- zone Co., Buffalo, N.Y., and Kingston, Canada. MONTREAL LOSING TRADE Grain Men Blame the Steamship Companies, Which Asked Exhorbitant Prices A despatch from Montreal says : Montreal is losing her grain trade, and Buffalo and Portland are ra- pidly getting it. There is room, in tho Harbor Commissioners' eleva- tors at present for two million bushels of grain, and not an ocean boat is loading in tho port with grain. There is a reason for this, according to grain men, who say tho steamship companies are to blame. Earlier in the season they say, the companies were asking ex- orbitant prices to carry the grain from this port to Europe, and con- sequently local shippers were forced to make terms with the steamship companies running out of American ports. The situation at present is very serious. The Harbor Commission- ers recognize this, and on Thursday evening they left, accompanied by Mr. M. P. Fennell, for Buffalo, to study conditions there and to learn why that city is getting a portion of Montreal's grain trade.
