£20,00,0,000 CANAL FOR CANADA.

ALL-BRITISH WATER-WAY TO

CARRY WHEAT.

The " All-British " Canadian waterway, which when completed may revolutionise the grain trade of the world, is to be constructed at an estimated cost of Mr R. W. Perks, M.P., who is keenly interested in the new scheme, returned to London on October 2 after a prolonged visit to Canada, during which he has had many opportunities of testing the possibilities of the great project. It is proposed to open up a mid-continental water-way across the Dominion — an extended through route by way of the Great Lakes to the Ottawa river and the Gulf of St Lawrence. The new canal is to be run from Georgian Bay to the Ottaway, and if succesful will solve one of Canada's greatest traffic problems.

At present, although Canada is the granary of the world and countless miles ot territory in the far west are being opened up for wheat growing, the grain has to be brought to market by long and roundabout routes.

The " All-British " route from Georgian Bay to the coast will save 500 miles of needless carriage and divert the stream ot western whhh now passes through the United States.

The scheme has the support of the Canadian people and the Dominion Government, and is now on a sound and practical basis, said Mr Perks to an Express representative last month.

" The new canal is of the very greatest importance to Canada, for at present only a very small percentage of her product passes out to the coast through her own territory. The greater proportion of it is now diverted through the States. Once the new waterway js finished, grain can be carried right through to Montreal as it now reaches Chicago.

" The Americans, who have enjoyed the great bulk o* the grain-carrying trade, are naturally interested, and President Roosevelt is advocating another scheme for connecting Lake Michigan and Chicago with the Mississippi and New Orleans by means of a ship canal. They see clearly the importance of the trade.

"The Canadian Pacific railway is not opposed to the 'All British, waterway, for the directors, who are farseeing men, realise that the construction of the canal will mean increased prosperity and commerce for the Dominion.

" The Soo Canal at the entrance to the water-way, is a most important ship-way, for more than is already invested in shipping on the Great Lakes, and at least three times the tonnage of shipping passes through Soo as through the Suez Canal.

THE REASON WHY DR SHELDON'S

DIGESTIVE TABULES CURE INDIGESTION,

DYSPEPSIA, AND ALL STOMACH TROUBLKS.

Is flint they actually contain all of the natural dig<*statits a.s in a healthy stomach. Unlike many so-called indigestion cares, these Tabnlea are neither laxative or cathartic, and do not act upon the bowels in any way, for in indigestion, or dyspepsia the whole trouble is the stomach, and not the bowels. No one ever suffered from indigestion or dyspepsia whose stomach was in a healthy condition. When tbe stomach is out of order, do not go without food or irritate your stomach with cathartics, but take some natural digesbanC which will digest what you eat, thus assisting the stomach to regain its normal health and vigor. Dr Sheldon's Digestive Tabules is the only preparation which con tains all the known digestants, and which will digest, all k'tids of food These Ta linle^ are not h medicine which is advertised to cure everything, but a scientific preparation, prepared according to the i>. iuriiiftl prescription of E.
