DYNAMITE COISPIBACT The Prosecution Have 40,000 Letters And Telegrams From The Prisoners 'A despatch from Indianapolis, | Hockin of Detroit, Mich., M. J.

Shares of stock and bonds are essenU ally different. As was pointed out some time since, a bond is a promise to pay, a share is an equity only; if the com pany is liquidated the bonds are paid In full and If there is anything left the stockholders divide it that is. in the case of a company being wound up. In the case of an actively operating company, the bondholders receive their regular in terest, 4. 5, 6, or 7 per cent., whatever it may be. The shareholders may receive nothing, or, as In the case of Winnipeg tributod money to buy explosives, but assisted in the work which Mc- Ma>nigal was to do.

Armed Men Get $400 at Standard i OtUre. A despatch from Toronto says : With revolver in hand and masked beyond recognition, two men en- tered the office of the Standard Chemical Company, foot of John Street, at 7.30 on Friday eveni'U, and got away with about 8400. The men rushed through the door just as Night Superintendent George Ross and his assistant, J. \V. Mayo, were- putting away a good portion of the day's receipts. The hold-up men called for Ross and Mayo to throw up their hands, and one of them started around the counter while the other kept fjna.'d. Ross did not comply with the request at once and was struck a blowog -j^ side of the head, the sttinning ef- CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.

When well-eoleoted food has heJp- ed the honest physician place his patient in sturdy health and free from the "doctor habit" it is a source of satisfaction to all parties. A Chicago woman saye : "We have not had a doctor in the house during all tihe 6 years that we have been using Grape-Nute food. Before we began, however, w had "the doctor habit" and scarcely a week wemt by without a call on our physician.

A despatch from Chatsworth says : Striking a spread rail at the William Lake siding, four miles southeast of Chatsworth Station and fifteen miles from Owen Sound, th Canadian Pacific passenger train from the latter city, due in Toronto at 7.55 p.m., was thrown into the ditch at 4 o'clock on Fri- day afternoon. The engine passed the break successfully, but the bag- gage car and all three passenger cars jumped the rails and rolled down a four-foot embankment, two men in the former being injured and all the rolling stock being more or less damaged. This is the sec- ond accident of precisely the same nature occurring on this division within two days, tho other mishap having been to the Toronto Express from Vancouver, which was ditched at Hala on Wednesday. The injur- ed men are two railway mail clerks, called Savage and Parks. Savage fractured his right arm, and Parks was badly shaken up, also sustain- ing scalp wounds and a bruised , knee. The express messenger and ' baggage man, who were in the other ' part of the car, escaped with no thing worse than a shock. Tempor- ary mpt'ioul attention was given by l)rs. Ego and Brown of Markdale, have to look to bis small savings, or the bank, to tide him over. And so. it is with the shareholders of a company. In lean years they may Ret no dividends, in fat years 0., -, may get large ones. But it is the bondholder ''j. ! :; in i have to worry. He has to ave his interest or the shareholder .ni.li to lose his property. In other ords. shares (speaking generally, ot ourse, for many shares are far safer nvrstments than some bondi, and some hares are us safe as most bonds) shares re in nature speculative, while bonds re not. The purchase of a share of stock In a ompany Involves no reason to expect a eturn of tho money so invested. If the ompany prosprs your dividends are arge and if yon want to "get your money out" you can sell to some one who wants to buy, even tho holders of . P. R., or even Hank of England Hbarei, ave no other method of ever getting their loney back. In 1670 the Mutinous Bay Company (its real name is the Governor nd Company of Adventurer! of England 'rading into tbo Utidons Bay) was form- d and its shares issued. These shares are actively .traded in on the London market. In tho 240 years since they were put out. there baa been no time at wLich ha shareholders could get their money lack except by selling their shares to others. Offhand. I can think of no bond which would not have been redeemed at ast four times (and a fifth '.line lu 1920) during that period. These are the chief points of differ- ence bet veen bunda and stocks. Stocks, evfr, liave many good points, which will be taken up subsequently. McCullough, of Chats- Dr. worth. _* COMBIM: OF MINE WOJIKKRS British Minors Seok (o Block Coa Import* During Strike.

Tea keeps better in sealed lead packets than it does in open chest* or canisters, but it deteriorates more or less under any circumstances. Fresh tea is as necessary to a suc- cessful tea trade as fresh butter i to a successful butter trade. No wholesaler or retailer should keep a pound of tea in his stock for mere than four months, yet, with some, the fashion is to keep it for years-, during every day of which it is der teriorating. In Ceylon that land of eternal summer every bush in a tea garden is picked over every week in the year, and you always get it fresh and fragrant in the "SALADA" packages. "SALADA" does not show the dealer as large a profit aa j other teas, but it gives him, I through his customers, more satis- faction. CANADA'S BUTTER FAMINE.
