That is true tti some e.vleut hut it only reflects Ihe cry of the people generally ami esjieeially the cry of those who jivq in mil of the way purls of the country whore nejphbors are Jew and where, it would be possible lo hniid roads and-pive oljiett accommodation if sellle-nient were thicker. lie complain 'thai millions are to he spent on immigration. That is hardly correct. . The Rri.Hsh government is speinlinga good deal of. money in aiding people to come to (iaiiiula and the (Janadian government in Ihe aggregate is spending a good deal, hill all thai money spread over the country would not huild many miles of road in British Columbia.

You Wonder Why You Cannot Sleep you could only sleep at 1F night there would be some chance of getting back the nervous energy which is expended during the day. But you cannot sleep. In tho mornings you arise feeling tired and played out. By evening you are all in. Your nervous system is entirely exhausted. "Is: there no way to get out of this condition?" you ask. There is. By tusing Dr. Chase's Nerve Food regularly you can feed the nerves back to health and vigor. Perhaps you have never realized the cause of your aJweplcssner. 'But, this is, the outstanding symptom of exhausted ; nerves. You t may Also have nervous headaches, indigestion and spells of despondency. You may be unduly sensitive to light and sound. You may be irritable and inclined to worry when there is no real cause. But inability to rest and sleep is one of the surest signs that you need the help of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food to get back to health. Nervous disorders do not get better of their own accord. You must supply the elements of Nature which are required to'bnild up the depleted cells and these elements are most happily combined in Dr Chase's Nerve Food. 60 cts. a .box, all dealers or The Dr. A.

EXHIBITION ASSOCIATION CLOSES YEAR CLEAR OF DEBT AND MAKES PLANS FOR BIQ EVENT THIS (continued from aage one) scaled at tlie Prince Hupirl V.x-hihition because there had noi. been adequate transportation.

Dealing with the mailer o' Exhibition finances, Mr. Self rrrnin-liiondeil r tint the Hoard should apply lo the city eounril for . grant of not less than i!,tmn. This would relieve (he necessilv of pressing so hard on Ihe eiti-len- for subscriptions, fit view of the fact that all (lie citizen benafitled from the fair including those who rented buildings. .Mr. Seir Ml dial il was nut fair that the taxpayers should eoutrihule to a greater e.xlenl in Ihe Fair finances. Il would nls give the Pair Hoard something lo go on early in the year. Mr. Se,r pointed out that, soiie years ago, when I he Knit t'Xlienditures had rbeen M.uoo or l,unu per year. the civic grant had been 2,ii00. In HWj when the expenditure jiad been nearly ten thousand dollars, the eivw grant had total Ird only K.i50. Question of Attractions Slating that something new in Hie nature of attraction- at Hie Pair must he de.vised.

At Ihe same time, Mr. Self pointed out that. Ihrougliiiiii the entire Fair Week, there wore always a number of attractions ibjwn towh ill oppo-itiim to the l aw (tuild-iiig activities. T.lic fair Hoard should deviM) ooine mean- of putting on entertainments in the hulldui? nightly in order to hold Ihe crowds. The bringing in of a Iroujx was one of Mr. Self" suggestions. If entertainments were lo be held at the Hall, it would tie ne cessary lo make arrangement for accommodation. With thi- end in view, he recommended Unit tlie Hftnlm .if lliu lt!,ll dl unlit Ihe Acropolis Hill grounds duriiu Fair Week .was one of the out-! standing of Mr. iself's suggestion.
