WESTERN CANADA
CAME INTO EVIDENCE
AT THE CRUCIAL PERIOD FOR
SUPPLY OF WORLDS FOOD-
STUFFS.
The present demand for foodstufTt
in all parts of the world, and the ex-
pense of producing it on high-priced
lands, would make it seem that west-
ern Canada came into evidence at the
crucial period. There is to be found
the opportunity that will be a large
factor in meeting this demand. With
its millions of acreB of land, easily
cultivatable. highly productive, acces-
sible to railways, and with unexcelled
climatic conditions, the opportunities
that are offered and afforded are tooi
great to be overlooked.
There have been booms in almost
every civilized country and they were
looked upon as such, and in the course
of time the bubble was pricked and
was burst But in no country has the
development been as great nor as
rapid, whether in city or in country,
as in western Canada.
The provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta have the larg-
est area of desirable lands on the
North American continent, and their
cultivation has Just begun.
Even with a two hundred million
bushel wheat crop, less than eight
per cent, of the land is under the
ploughs, four per cent, being in wheat.
Less than five years ago the wheat
crop was only 71,000,000 bushels. It
is a simple calculation to estimate
that if four per ceni. of the available again'
SEAT LITTLE GOOD TO HIM
Smart Youth Had It But He Did Not
Proceed Far Toward His Des-
tination.
I An important-looking and haughtily
cting young man was wandering up
pud down on the platform of the rail-
road station of a small western city.
iU- was intent on finding an empty
heat in the express, which was almost
One to start. Vainly did he search
e«ach car. Suddenly he assumed an
official air and, walking up to the
last car, he cried out:
All change here. This car will be
left here."
The occupants of the crowded car
uttered exclamations which proved
their dissatisfaction, but hurried out
and packed themselves in other
< oaches. The face of the young mau
assumed a bland and childlike expres-
sion as he settled himself very com
•tortably in an empty seat.
' Shortly after, the station agent put
his head in at the door and said:
'1 suppose you're the smart boob
who told the folks this v r wasn't go
ing. aren't you?"
"Yes," replied the bright youth,
with a grin.
"Well." responded the station agent,
"you were right. It isn't. The brake-
man heard you calling out about 'it,
and so he uncoupled it. He thought
you were an official."—IJppincott'B

Reliable evidence is abundant that women
are constantly being restored to health by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
The many testimonial letters that we arc continually pub-
lishing in the newspapers—hundreds of them—are all genu-
ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has come to these
women solely through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain
such recommendations; you may depend upon it that any
testimonial we publish is honest and true—if you have any
doubt of this write to the women whose true names and
addresses are always given, and learn for yourself.
Read this one from Mrs. Waters:
Camden, N". J.—" I was sick for two years with nervous spells, and
my kidneys were affected. I had a doctor all the time and used a
galvanic battery, but nothing did mc any good- I was not able to go
to lied, but spent my time on a couch or in a sleeping < hair,and soon
became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his
health, and my husband heard of Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and got me some. In two months I got relief and now i
am like a new woman and am at my usual weight. I recommend
vour medicine to every one and so does my husband."—Mrs. Tillis
waters, 1135 Knight St., Camden,N.J.
And this one from Mrs. haddock:
Utica, Okla.—"I was weak and nervous, not able to do my work
and scarcely able to be on my feet. I had haekache, headache, palpi-
tat ion of the heart, trouble with my l owels,and inflammation. Since
taking the Lydia E. IMnkham's Vegetable Compound I am better
than I have lieen for twenty years. 1 think it is a wonderful medi-
cine and I have recommended it to others." Mrs. Maky Ann Had-
dock, Utica, Oklahoma.
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a
woman continue to suffer without - first giving Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that
it has saved many others—why should it fail in your case?

"California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels.
Every mother realize^, after giving
her children "California Syrup of
Figs" that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste
and it thoroughly cleanses the tender
little Btomach, liver and bowels with-
out griping.
When cross, irritable, feverish or
breath la bad. stomach tour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless "fruit
laxative " and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow-
els, and you have a well, playful child
again. When its little syBtem is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic—remem-
ber, a good "inside cleaning" should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep "California
Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a Bick child

cent bottle of "California Syrup of
Figs," which has directions for babies,

William of W.ied, who is to be the
ruler of the new kingdom of Albania,
in the "Osterreichische Rundschau.''
The prince, she says, is a direct de-
scendant of William the Silent of Or-
ange. "As a child we never saw him
without a book in his hand, holding it
open with his finger to keep the place
while he walked. In spite of this stu-
dious tendency he also boasted great
physical strength, and in the gram-
mar school at Jena he was the leader
of the class at drilling and gymnastics,
and many tales of hiB prowess are re-
lated by his schoolfellows The prince
was able to lift any of them with one
hand, and would place them on a high
shelf when they annoyed him. reach

On a Money Basis.
The astronomers try by formidable
arrays of figures to tell us many
things about the heavenly bodies; but
abstract figures aro not easy to com-
prehend.
One amateur has hit upon the
Bcheme of using money values to show
the weight of the planets compared
with the sun.
Taking |20 as the earth's value, the
moon would be worth about a quar-
ter, and Venus $15. Some of the plan-
ets would have a respectable value,
$1 840 for Saturn and $6,200 for Jupi-
ter.
Rut the only approach to a million-
aire is the sun. worth on this basis
$6,780,000!
Perhaps this contraat in dollars and
cents may help to convey the suns
enormous sixe.

The First Advertiser.
F. Irving Fletcher, at one of the
Daily Ad club's brilliant dinners In
New York, said In praise of advertis-
ing:
"I once urged the millionaire propri-
etor of a very old and conservative
firm to advertise But he replied
• Why should 1 advertise My house
la very old and It is very widely
known.'
" Well, sir.' said I, speaking with all
due reverence. God la even older than
your house, and he is even more wide-
ly known; and yet, from time to time,
he does not hesitate to call the people
to him with the Bound of church
bells.' "—New York Tribune.
cultivatable area produces something
over 200,000.000 bushels, what will 44
per cent, produce? And then look at
the immigration that is coming into
the country. In 1901 it waR 49,149. 1
17,000 being from the United States:
in 1906 it was 189.064. of which 57,000
were Americans, and in 1913 it was
about 400,000, of which about 140,000
were Americans. But why have they
gone to Canada? The American farm- j
er is a man of shrewd business In
etlncts, just like his Canadian brother,
and when he finds that he can sell his
own farm at from $100 to $200 per .
acre and move Into Canada and home-
stead and pre-empt half a section for
himself, and similarly for all his sons
who are adult and of age upon lands
as rich and fertile as those he left, j
and producing indeed several bushels
to the acre in excess of anything he
has ever known, it will take more
than an ordinary effort to prevent him
from making the change.
And then, too, there is the American
capital following the capital of brawn,
muscle and sinew, following it so as
to keep in touch with the industrious
farmer with which it has had dealings
for years back. This capital and the
capital of fanning experience is no
small matter in the building up of a
country.
Nothing is said of the great mineral
and forest wealth, of which but little
has been touched.
No country in the world's history
has attracted to Its borders a larger
number of settlers In bo short a time,
or has attracted so much wealth In a
period of equal length, as have the
Canadian prairies. Never before has
pioneering been accomplished under
conditions so favorable as those that
exist in western Canada today.—Ad-
vertisement.
