"Five years ago whon I was first marriea I had wonderful energy. I could be on the go all day ‘ong without feeling the least bit faâ€" tigued. I had a great appetite and rould eat anything. 1 weighed 147 pounds. I used to be busy every minute of the day and, when the day was over, I could go to bed and never waken once during the night. Thirteen months ago my first baby was born. Aftecr that my energy seemed to leave me. I was tired all the time. I had to force myself to do my househnold duties. Instead of being a pleasure as formerly, these duties became a real task. I lost all desire for food and nothing w«vould tempt me. I had to make myseif eat. I would go to bed at night and toss from side to side for hours at a time. After 2 while I would doze off only to find that I had been sleeping for ten or fifteen minutes. Naturally when morning came, not havinz slept, I started the day completely tired out. I was shaky and nerâ€" vous. The , least noise would me and make my heart race along I coulid see that my husâ€" band was worried. I was losing weight every week and had alâ€" ready lost 54 pounds. I tried all kinds of tonics, but they didn‘t help me. One night, a night I shall never forget because it started me on the way to health and happiness again, my husband brought in a bottle of Carnol. A. friend told him that Carnol had saved his wife‘s life, so he insistâ€" ed upon my trying it. Six weeks after I begsan taking Carnol, my weight increased from 93 pounds to 158, an increase of 65 pounds. And, am I well these days ? D\ery morning 1 fairly jump out of bed ready to tackle anything and every mmute of ~the day is a joy to me now.‘ Mr. L. Laporte, a graduate of the Timmins Business College, who is at present Stenographer in the Hollinger Mines Offices, has taken first position in the Margh Typewriting Test presâ€" eribed, by the Underwood Typewriter Co., Toronto, Ont. Mr. Laporte wrote 40 net words per minute for 15 minâ€" utes. â€" Miss Selina Moses, a present attending student at the College, and an exâ€"student of the Timmins Continu ation Classes has taken second posiâ€" tion with 38 net words per minute. The Timmins Business College hopes to take the typewriting record of the Province this vear. Mr. Harry Groode, who ‘has been absent from the College for some months, has returned to resume his studies in the Gommercial Dept. The Class Pins for the Stadents and Graduates have arrived; we take this method of asking all Students who have graduated since the establishâ€" ment of the College to call at the ©Colâ€" lege Office for their pin. This Pin will serve as an advancing medium for the Graduate. We had two more calls for Stenoâ€" graphers through our Employment Dept, last week.

This would not in any way afâ€" feet the connection with the Associatâ€" ed Boards of Trade, but would be supâ€" plementary as it were. This idea was embodied in a motion urging the Goâ€" vernment to complete the road ‘betâ€" ween Timmins and ‘Porquis Junetion this summer, Cochrane, the Falls and the other boards concerned being askâ€" ed to eoâ€"operate in urging this matter on the Governament, (Continued from page 1) vide roads and walks for the outlyâ€" ing sections of the town, parncularl\ those pa\mg taxes for years and hereâ€" tofore receiving no improvements. He thought storm sewers would be absoâ€" lutely necessary if paved streets were put in, and the cost of the storm sewâ€" ers would ‘be nearly as much as for the roadways. The matter of chief interest at the meeting, perhaps, was the question of post office service. ‘There were many complaints regarding the post office service, one speaker saying that condiâ€" tions were very far from a credit in a town as large as this. The increase in IMPROVEMENTS BHNCG MADE 1N POST GCFASt were very Jart Jrom a Credll in a town as large as this. The increase in the box rents at the post office was also condemned and other questions of complaint touched upon. ‘Postmaster King had been invited to the meeting and when he arrived and addressed. the gathering he was able to change the feeling of the meeting altogether. Many expressed their thanks that the matter had been so well explained and they were now agreed in recognizing the difficulties and the efforts being made to provide good service. Chief Borland who had strongly opposed the box rent increase said he was satisfied, and would certainly withdraw his opâ€" position when he learned the small reâ€" venue received in other lines for the maintenance of the office. The quesâ€" tion of having this a ‘‘Government‘‘ Post Office, instead of a commission one was also disceussed. In his address large bunches of mail at one time could, with practically no inconveniâ€" ence to themselves, facilitate handling by keeping the letters for the one post office together and with the stamps showing all one way. Some inconveâ€" nience had also been caused by loiterâ€" ers in the evening in the post office. Those with boxes were always welâ€" come‘to stay around the office waiting for the mail to be distributed. But he referred chiefly he said to groups of young fellows who talked loudly and smoked and spit on the floor. Things like these prevented the office from being kept as clean ‘as it might be. President King suggested to Postmasâ€" ter King at this point that he was sure the police would coâ€"operate to prevent unnecessary and objectiona‘ble loitering in the post office at nights. Postmaster King in referring to the improvements made, said that there were now seven clerks. On an average day from 2500 to 3000 letters would be handled. President King thanked the Postâ€" master for his detailed review of the matter and thought it would do much to satisfy the public that every effort was being made to give the best serâ€" vice possible, | President King brought up the quesâ€" Postmaster King outlined the condiâ€" tions that had to ‘be met when he took the position. The great growth of the town and the uncertainty of the apâ€" pointment of a postmaster for a conâ€" siderable time had worked together to leave conditions in such shape that the best public service could not be given. As soon as the appointment was made, however, he had started to make"mâ€" provements and to provide for better service. An improved system of handâ€" ling parcels had been inaugurated. There had been 150 new boxes installâ€" ed and 150 more had_been ordered, but had not yet ‘been received. A night man had been plxll(t on permanently so as to facilitate the handling of the mails. It was the intention to put in a third general delivery wicket so as to relieve the congestion at certain hours. Also a general reâ€"arrangement of the wickets and equipment much ‘betâ€" ter service could â€"be given. The new arrangement would include the movâ€" ing of the parcel wicket and permit the use of both the outside doors of the post office which would ‘be a great benefit to the public. The post office, ever since Mr. King‘s appointment, has been kept open for boxâ€"holders on Sundays during the most convenient part of the day. In explaining the improvements that had been made and that would soon be made, Mr. King mentioned that the public could also help in improving the service. For instance, ‘business firms depositing iY @131 1 26th, by unanimous vote the Town Council decided on the purchase of an â€"Americanâ€"LaFrance combination pumping, chemical and hose motor truck equipment. At the Council meetâ€" ing last Monday, the Mayor in replyâ€" ing to Mr. D. Ostrosser, who had adâ€" dressed the Council on behalf of the Timmins Board of Trade, explained that while the ‘Council had duly passâ€" ed the purchase, the actual signing of the order by the Mayot and Clerk had not been done. He made the suggesâ€" tion that the delay had been allowed so as to permit of the expression of opinion by the ratepayers in the matâ€" ter. After a thorough investigation. the Council had decided upon the La COUNCIL TO PROCEED WITH PURCHASE OF FIRE TRUCK France equipment. A byâ€"law will like ly ‘be submitted to the ratep#tyers in the matter. Mrs. J. Perrault, of New Liskeard has been the guest of friends in town Mr. Stewart Bigham, of Detroit was a visitor to the Camp last week. One of the best examples of a town "growing up nver night" is that of Climax, the end of steel on the Consulâ€"Assiniboia branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway. All that there was on the quarter section oh February 19th. the day an which the site of the new town was finally séttled, was a homesteader‘s shark« and a small barn. When the steel was laid in Climax on March 15th there was a restaurant, one roomny house, over a score of dwellings, two blacksmith‘s shops, a drug store, gents‘ furnishing store, a big genâ€" eral store, pool room and barber shop. The new town is situated in four large flat warehouses in which nearly ; 100,000 bushels of grain were stored, and a butcher «hop. The new town is sitnated in Lone Tree RM. number 18, about 80 miles south of Shaunavom â€" . . Bungalow camps, such as are operated in the Canadian Rockies, are to be built in the French River, Nipigon Bay and Lake of the Woods districts of Ontario by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Low cost of conâ€" struction and maintenance will enâ€" able the company to coffer lower rates than standard hotels. The first three will be ready for occupation by July ist. According to a recent rearrangeâ€" ment of ports of call i the Orient, the Canadian Pacific Steamships Limited, by omitting Marila as a port of call between Shanghai and Hong Kong, will bring the latter port four days nearer to Canada, the United States and Europe. This makes possible a through service from London, England, via Canaâ€" dian Pacific Atlantic "impresses to Quebec and rail to Vancouver and via Canadian Pacific Empresses to Hong Kong under 28 days. During the year 1922 the Canaâ€" dian Pacific Railway ghandled a total of 8,435,825 pieces of baggage as compared with 8,732,674 for the previous year. ~% Of this amount 5,175,203 . pieces were passengers‘ baggage which compared with 5,â€" 486,455 for the previous twelve months. 9,697 bicycles were handled, 19,336 dogs travelled as baggage and 23,988 baby carriages were moved. There was also a considerable increase in the movement of milk. In 1922, the Comvany moved 1,623,â€" 107 cans as against 1,614,791 in 1921; and it is remarkable that most of this increase was in the three provinces, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, which is an apparent indication of the further developâ€" ment of mixed farming in those provinces. It is announced that the running schedule of the Transâ€"Canada Limâ€" ited, which will operate between Montreal Toronto and Vancouver, commencing May 20th, has been cut down one hour. Consxdermg the all steel equipment and luxurious apâ€" pointments and its regular daily on time performance, this is the finest long distance train in the world. In the last fiscal year, Canada imported 1,363.000 pound~â€" of butter from the United States, pounds from Australia and 2,254,000 pounds from New Zealand. The total exports of Canadian butter were 8,430,000 pounds. A gold rush is in full swing and it is expected to brmg about the deâ€" velopment of more mining camps in the counties of Temiskaming and Abitibi. Gold was discovered in these two counties early in 1922, and a rush of prospectors began in March of that year. In October, 200 claims were staked, comprising 50,000 acres of land, and to date about 90,000 acres have been staked. Fire insurance companies found 1922 the most disastrous year for more than 20. The ratio of losses to premiums was 68.64 ner ceut, British companies suffered most seâ€" verely, their losses to premiuras beâ€" ing 71.48 per cent, mainly due to the Northern Ontarxo fire. A recent and popular Canadian Pacific appointment is that of Mr. Walter Maughan to Steamship Pasâ€" senger Manager. The appointment includes management of the comâ€" pany‘s passenger business on both the Atlantic and Pzacific oceans. Canada‘s export trade grew $174,« 000,000 in the first eleven months of the fiscal year ending March 31st Ll Here and There A\t the Council meeting THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE March POPULAR YOUNG COUPLE WEDDED ON SATURDAY +AÂ¥ quiet wedading took place on Saâ€" turday :evening in te R.
