CRISIS OF
WOMAN'S LIFE
Change Safely Passed by
Taking Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Wagoner, Okla.—"1 never get tired
of praising Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
— 1 table Compound
because during
Chance of Life I
was in bed two
years and hod two
operations, but all
tne doctors and op-
erations did me no
good, and I would
nave been in my
grave today had it
not been for Lydia
E. Pinkham's \ eg-
etable Compound
which brought me out of it all right, so
1 am now well and do all my housework,
besides working in my garden. Several
of my neighbors have got well by tak-
ing Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound Mrs. Viola Finical, Wagon-
er, Okla.
Such warning symptoms as sens« of
suffocation, hotflashis, headaches,back-
aches, dread of impending evil, timidity,
■oundB in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes, irregu-
larities, constipation, variable appetite,
weakness and dizziness should be betted
by middle-aged women. Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound has carried
many women safely through the crisis.

BUSINESS AND HEALTH.
"Why Is our country going dry so
fust?" asks the Philadelphia Ledger,
nnd answers: "Business and health!
That combination beats moral suasion
and the appeals of a 'Ten Nights In a
Barroom.'
"Life Insurance companies for some
years past have paid very close atten-
tion to liquor as an insurance hazard.
They have compiled figures, using
hundreds of thousands of persons as a
buftls for computations. Those prove
that a man who docs not drink will
on the average live much longer than
the man who drinks even moderately.
"Taking 2.000,000 policyholders as a
test. Insurance companies discovered
that men who only occasionally 'got
tight' suffered a death rate Just one-
half greater than strictly temperance
men. Among men who drink only two
glasses of beer or one glass of whisky
in a day the mortality was altnoft a
fifth greater. Other men who drink
more than that but still not enough to
bar them from Insurance companies,
showed an appalling mortality of al-
most double that among men who were
never Introduced to John Barleycorn."

DRINK AND MACHINERY.
Things have changed since the day
when a man could drink nnd injure
no oue but himself ami a few others,
says the Kansas City Star in an edi-
torial on "Booze and Machinery." •
A drunken man might drive a horse
through a street crowded with other
horses and not damage himself or any-
one else; but a drunken man in a
motor car in a street crowded with
other hurrying motor cars becomes u
veritable death angel. A drunken man
might drive a stage coach filled with
passengers nnd all arrive safely. But
a drunken man at the engine throttle,
or asleep ill the slgnnl tower, Is a
different thing. A drunken blacksmith
in the old days would simply spoil a
few horseshoes, and maybe give his
wife a black eye. But now a drunken
factory hand can ruin thousands of
dollars' worth of machinery nnd en-
danger lives of fellow workmen.

PROHIBITION STANDS TEST.
The year 1t>10 bus witnessed n tri-
umph perhaps even greater than the
mere gaining of territory, a thorough
and satisfactory testing of the prohibi-
tion policy. During the past 62 weeks
the new prohibition xtntes have so con-
vincingly demonstrated the economic,
social nnd moral benefits of the law
that they are quite sufficient refutation
of the false charges made by the liquor
publicity bureaus that prohibition does
not prohibit; that it is a failure; that
it leads to economic disaster, and oth< r
statements of like tenor. As to the sat-
isfaction of the residents of these
states with the new regime, the mag;
nificent vote In Oregon. Washington,
Colorado, Arizona and Arkansas on No-
vember 7 against the measures Initiat-
ed by the liquor interests to weaken
or nullify the new laws, furnishes
abundant testimony.
INSANITY AND DRY STATES.
The publicity bureau of the liquor
interests Is trying to make the public
believe that prohibition Kansas lias
more insane In proportion to the pop-
ulation than have license states. He
selects for selection three wet states
which are more than SO per cent dry,
rather than three which are mostly
wet, as New York. New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. But that is a way the
liquorltes have.
The Insane rate In Kansas Is 172.2
per 100,000; in New York It Is 342.2
per 100,000; In New Jersey. 238.1 per
100.000; In Pennsylvania, 220.1 per
100,000.
When It conies to the percentage of
what Is known as alcoholic Insanity
the only fnlr basis for a test —the rate
in Kansas is remarkably low. That
state has only 17 per cent of alcoholic
Insane.

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR
A GUILD'S BOILS
It is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.
Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the 'dose" mother insisted
on_caBtor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli-
cious "California Syrup of Figs." Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless "fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that It never falls to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet-
en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs." which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

PROHIBITION IS PROHIBITING.
Three breweries in St. Louis have
gone out of business within the last
few months. The Mutual was closed
November 14 by order of the referee
in bankruptcy; the Kxcelslor closed
Its doors January 1. and about the
same time the Forest Park Brewing
company tiled a petition In bankruptcy.
All on account of the encroachments

You apply a few drops di-

you can lift It right off.
Freezone Is wonderful. It
I dries instantly. It doesn't
put away the corn or cal-

Hard, soft or corns be-
tween the toes, as well as

Previous articles have dealt with
I he necessity of producing extra quan-
tities of foods to feed the world dur-
ing Ibis stress of high consumption
nnd paucity of production, instead of
the condition Improving it is growing
worse, and unless drastic and Immedi-
ate action is taken, prices will con-
tinue to climb higher. It Is hoped by the
Canndian government that by offering
extra inducements to secure a home-
stead of 1(50 acres of excellent land In
the homestendlng arens of Western
Cnnndn, with the combined effort of the
farmer in extraordinary preparation
of tillage and bigger wnges tlinn ever,
that Western Canada, with the assist-
n nee of a Divine Providence, may pro-
duce a greater number of million acres
of wheat than ever in the past. The
fnrm laborer can now secure a home-
stead on easier conditions than ever,
before. All the time that he works
for a Western Cnnadlnn farmer dur-
ing 1017. after he makes Ills entry or
filing will count ns residence on his
homestead for that year, leaving him
but two additional years' residence,
before getting title to a piece of land
thiit should then be easily worth
$1.00(1. The response to this offer lias
been wonderful, and hundreds have al-
ready taken advantage of It.
The climate of Western Canada is
one that breeds energy, instils life and
buoyancy, and with the soil that the
country jwssesses, no greater asset
could be desired. The country is past the
pioneering stage; its ability to grow
all the smaller grains better than any
other portion of the continent has
been proven so often that It seems n
waste of time to speak of it. The high
name that has been given the country
In the splendid class of live stock that
It raises, has placed it In the high col-
umn with the best states of the Union.
And then social conditions, something
that every housewife nsks about, are
nearly perfect as could be wished
for. Thousands of miles of telephone
line connect the remotest hamlet with
the principal cities of the country nnd
continent, miles of excellent graded
roads, as well as the perfect natura!
roads of the prairie, make driving and
hauling easy. Grldlroned ns these
provinces are with railway lines
bring the farm near to Atlantic or Pn-
clflc. or United States markets, rural
mall delivery brings the settler still
closer to the homes nhroad. Rural
and consolidated schools everywhere
are easy adjuncts to the colleges and
universities, which nre said to be
among the best on the continent.
Taxation is light, and only applied
ou the farm land, enttle. Implements,
etc.. on the farm being exempt. Mnny
farmers, hnvlng realized sufficient •
from one crop of wheat to pay for
their entire farm holdings, have In-
stalled their own electric light nnd
heating plants, have their automobiles
and many luxuries they would not
lujve possessed on their old home ,
abroad. Life Is comfortable and ex-
istence enjoyable In Western Canada.
In no country Is there a greater per-
centage of contented farmers, and In
no part of the continent Is farming
easier or more profitable.
Land there will produce .10 bushels
of wheat to the acre, while there are
many cases where the yield was
higher, as high as 70 bushels. What
this means to the farm laborer does
not fully nppenr on the surface, lie
will get good wages, he can secure n
homestead worth at the end of three
years about $1,000. while working for
wages he can put In residence duties,
and can nlso look around, and find u
good location.
Besides tile homestead!ng attraction
of Western Canada, there remains the
other fact that other hinds can be
purchased at from $15 to $.'10, while
Improved farms inuy be hud at rea-
sonable figures.
The desire to have a piece of land
of one's own Is a natural Instinct In
the heart of every properly developed
inn ft nnd woman. In earlier years, on
account of the great areas of lnnd
available In the United States, no
great difficulty was experienced
by any ambitious settler of that
country who wished to become his
own landholder, but the rapid in-
crease in population, combined with
the corresponding rise In the price of
fluid, litis completely changed this con-
dition. Land, which a generation ngo
might be had for the hotiiesteadlng.
how commands prices ranging to $100
an acre ami over. At such prices It Is
quite hopeless for the tenant farmer
or the farmer's son In moderate cir-
cumstances. or the city man with lim-
ited capital, to attempt to buy a fnrm
of his own. To pay for It becomes a
life-long task, and the probability Is
that he will never do more than meet
the Interest charges. If he Is serious
In his desire to secure a £nrm home,
he must look to countries where there
la still abundaut fertile laud available
at moderate cost, and where these
lands are to be purchased on terms
which make it possible for the settler
with small capital to become a farm
owner as the result of a few years' la-
bor. He will also want land in a coun-
try where the practices of the people
are similar to those to which he has
been accustomed; a country with the
same language, same religion, same
general habits of living, with laws,
currency, weights and measures, etc.,
based on the same principles as those
with which he is familiar. He wants
a country where he enn buy lnnd from
$10.00 to $10.00 nn acre, which will
produce as big or bigger crops ns those
he hns been accustomed to from lands
at $100.00 nn acre. He wants this
land where social conditions will be
attractive to himself and Ills family,
and where he can look forward with
confidence to being in a few years in-
dependent. and well started on the
roud to financial success.
All these conditions he will find In
Western Cunnda, nnd nowhere else.
The provinces of Alberta. Saskntche-
wnn and Manltobn, commonly called
"Western Canada," provide the one
and only answer to the land-liungry.
The lnnd is here; it Is the kind of
land he wants; the conditions are as
nenrly Idenl ns is possible, and the
prices and terms are such that the
mnn of moderate capital hns an op-
portunity not available to him else-
where—Advertisement.

you sleep.
Get a 10-cent box.
Sick headache, biliousness, dull-

breath—always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food In the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the In-
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed Into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick-
ening headache.
Cascarets immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret to-night will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep—a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your bead
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. AdT.
