Prowse Bros,

We print elsewhere in todsy’s Guardian

the letter of J. W. Callback of Augustine Cove proposing a plan by which it is hop- cd that the relations between the farmers and the Dominion Packing Company ml! be placed upon a more satisfactory basis. We also print a report of a meeting of the Farmers' Institute of Lots 27 and 28 in

hich this matter is taken up and the

plan put forward by Mr. Caiibeck is very

heartily endorsed and commended.

T cl t the lan looks fee

better understanding than has here existed may be remched between the Com- pany snd the farmers. We regard it as a

cordial and friendly business relations

tahlished here one large scale ought to

turn dependant upon the more or less constant supply of a good quality of hogs for packing.

Mlsunderstandings frequently arise

between business men who are mutually disposed to act with fairness and justice. In such cases and especially where the difficulty is against the interests of both parties, no effort should be spared to have the trouble removed! We are satisfied that this is the case as between a number

of our farmers and the Packing Company. We shsll he rrlad to sec mutual confidence rs stored and a basis for much more ex-

tensive business relations in the future

established which we believe muy be Of great mutual advantage.

The latest feature ofthe war appears to

be the landing ofa Jspanesi; land force far up on the eastern side ot Korea at Possist Bay, and moving inland in the direction of Kirin and Harbin. This is probably asmail force intending toat- tack and cut the Manchurian Railway. It involves a march of more than 250 miles

across country, which in the cold season mustcreate great hardships.

THE EVILS OF CONSTIPAFION.

This dangerous condition causes sick

headache, abdominal pains, piles, and in severe cases insanity and apoplexy. The most agreeable and satisfactory remedy is Ferrozone, which makes the bowels so well order ed that natural and unassisted action is errnbllshed. It is mild and cer- tain In action and never causes distress or inconvenience, and may be taken as long as required. Pains in the stomach and intestines, piles, billiousness and

headache disa%p.ear‘ at once when For- rozone is used. commended and sold bv Druggists, price 501:. By mail from N. C. Poison & Co.. Kingston, Ont.

Hon. H. R. Emmerson whose name coa-

tslns thirteen letters, arrived at Ottawa tobe sworn in on January 13, as the thirteenth membsrofthe Governmsnt.And the representation of New Brunswick in the Commons has been reduced to thir~ teen members. This is fscstiously held to account for the defeat sustained by the ministerial candidate ln St. John. The

“unlucky” number thirteen is avoided by the Turks in both speaking and writing as much as possible. No Italian lottery tickstis numbered thirteen, as no one would buy it. In Par-is no house bears the number. In Norse mythology thirteen at dinner was deemed unlucky because at abunquetin Valhalla at which a thir- teenth guest intruded Baldur was slain. Though in Christian countries the un- lucky number ls usually connected with the Last Supper, the superstition is older than Christianity.
