HEADACHES.

The Cause and Remedy.

Sick and Nervous Headaches are but the symptoms of other ail- ments to which they are merely sympathetic, such as Indigestion,

They are a perfect Blood Purifler and a positive and per manent cure for Biliousness, Indiges tion, Constipation, Headaches, Sallow, Coraplexion, Liver and KidneyTroubles,

Piles, Blotches, and

ali Pemaic Ailments.

Biliousness, Constipation, or some other irregu larity of the system. Many women habitually suffer from Headaches, which make life a daily purgatory. Indeed this complaint may be regarded as peculiarly an affection of the feminine sex, an ailment common to all women from girlhood to old age. If men suffered from Headaches as women do, basiness would be at a standstill, but the truth is that a woman's headache is generally due to womanly causes. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills get at the cause. They aid the digestion and assimilation of food, cleanse the system and purify the blood, and are a positive cure for sick headache, billousness and stomach disorders.

THE STATE OF BUSINESS. Business continues very dull in spite of ease in the money market. greater Speculation shows a little more activity, but the public generally still maintains

cautious reserve. Shipping shares, however, have been în denaud, particu- larly those of the two great Atlantic lifles, since it has become known that the pool has been prolonged until the end of this month and that Director Ballin of the Hamburg Line and Director Heinicken of the Norddeutsche Lloyd have during their stay in Vienna, where they had been engaged in negotiations with the Austrian Dr. Kat!

THE PROGRESS OF THE COUNTRY.

The economic development of Germany Bremen Cotton Exchange on the 8th In conclusion I may mention that the during the reign of the present Emperor," inst started a futures market, in order to which I have already alluded on a to save, or rather to keep in the country, former occasion. He states the populathe vast amount of commissions that has tion of the area now constituting the German empire to have amounted to 25 millions in 1818, to 41 millions in 1870/1 to 48 millions in 1888 and to have risen to over 88 millions since then. The in the long run remains to be seen.

annus] excess of birthe over deaths is 800,000 or 11.3 per 1,000 inhabitants; whilst only Russia can boast of a higher proportion, víz, 17 per 1,000, England, including Wales, and Austria-Hungary figure for about 9.5, and France even shows a slight decline. The greatest number of births occurred in the ten years from 1871 to 1880, when it was 40.7 per 1,000 inhabitants; since then it has sunk to 29.5 in 1911, but as the death-rate he's likewise decreased, viz., from 28.8 to 18.2, owing to improved sanitary arrangements, greater care of infant life, a higher standard of living and other cireum- stances, the excess of births over deaths. continues to increase, and it may be concluded from the decline in tho mortality that the people themselves are individually gaining in health and vigour. That emigration should have fallen from 1,342,000 in the ten years from 1881 to 1890, to 220,000 in 1901-10 and to 38,500 in 1917 is a proof that the rapidly growing population is finding the means of gaining a livelihood in the fatherland. In 1869 8,236,500 of the population, or 18 per cent, were engaged in agriculturai pursuits, including forestry, in 1806 8,292,700 or 15.9 per cent and in 1907 9,883,300 or 15.9 per cent. The various industries and Bandicrafts gave employ- ment in 1862 to 5,396,000 persons or 14 per cent., in 1895 to 8,291,200 or 15.9 per cent., in 1907 to 11,256,300 or 28.2 per cent., whilst trade and commerce accounts for 1.576,300 or 3.4 per cent. in 1882, for 2,338,500 or 4.5 per cent. in 1895 and for 3,477,000 or 5.8 per cent, in 1907, Although the growing tendency to leave the country for the towns may be deplored in many respects, it must be borne in
