U6HI CUE LIES YOU SICK!
CLEM LHIEII JLIID BOWELS MY WAY

pated Headachy— Don't Lose a Day's Work

bition But take-no nasty danger-

cramping
Listen to me! If you want to enjoy
the nicest gentlest liver and bowel
cleansing you ever experienced just

prised at that She always was a
trimmer”
IDE GRIM OF
Increase in Railway Mileage
School Attendance and
Population
Some Idea of the extent of railway
construction In Western Canada can
be derived from the fact that the rail-
way mileage in the Province of Al-
berta has been doubled In three years
The present mileage is 4097 In all
of the settled districts there Is ample
railway privileges The rates are gov-
erned by a Dominion Railway Commis-
sion and in the exercise of their pow-
ers they not only control the rates
giving fair equality to both railway
and shipper but form a court to hear
complaints of any who may desire to
lodge the same
In the matter of education no better
Instance of the advancement that is
taking place can be given than that
found in the information to jiand that
attendance at the University of Al-
berta has Increased 1000 per cent la
five years and Is now thoroughly rep-
resentative of all settled portions of
the Province The students In attend-
ance are from alxty-one distinct dis-
tricts Then as to the prosperity which fol-
lows residence In Western Canada J
E Edward of Blackle Alta gives
splendid testimony He writes “In
the spring of 1907 I first came to this
locality from the State of Iowa Cass
County and located on a quarter sec-
tion of land near Blackle Since com-
ing here I have been engaged In mixed
farming which I have found to be
more profitable than where I formerly
lived On coming here my worldly
holdings were small besides having a
family to care for I now own three
quarter sections sixty head of cattle
twenty head of horses and forty head
of hogs without encumbrance
"During the seven years I have not
had a crop fall My best crop of oats
averaged ninety bushels per acre with
a general yield of thirty-five bushels
and upward My best wheat crop aver-
aged forty-three bushels per acre
When I have had smaller yields per
acre I have found that it has been
due to Improper cultivation The win-
ters here although at times the weath-
er Is cold I find as a whole are very
agreeable The summers are warm
but not sultry The summer nights
are cool and one is always assured of
a good night’s rest My health has
been much better as I do not suffer
from catarrh since coming here 1
have no land for sale and am not
wishing to make any change but
would he pleased to answer any en-
quiries concerning this locality” — Ad-
vertisement The Kind It Is
“Miss Maymie is so kittenish"
“Ah yes with her ’tls a set purr
pose”
A row of columns Is a colonnade
lut a row of lemons Isn’t lemonade
Booauss of thos
back guarantee that each spoonful
will clean your sluggish liver better
tan a dose of nasty calomel and that
It won’t make you sick
Dodson’s Liver Tone Is real liver
medicine You’ll know it next morn-
ing because you will wake up feel-
ing fine your liver will be working
your headache and dizziness gone
your stomach will be sweet and your
bowels regular
Dodson's Liver Tone Is entirely
vegetable therefore harmless and
cannot salivate Give It to your chil-
dren Millions ot people are using
Dodson’s Liver Tone Instead of dan-
gerous calomel now Your druggist
will tell you that the sale of calomel
is almost stopped entirely here
WORK OF MAKING A HOME
Many Things Enter Into Atmosphere
of Abode That Is Dear to
All Mankind
A home Is not merely a house it Is
an atmosphere a feeling It is a
place of beloved associations where
you can wear old clothes and think
old thoughts and hear familiar voices
without hearing them You can be
happy there and be comfortably un-
happy be thoroughly unpleasant
even and know that those you love
will think no worse of you than they
do already Luxury cannot make a
home nor can books or pictures or
rugs or bric-a-brac A cat a canary
two genarniums a Bible and old rocking-chair
may make one of the love-
liest homes In the world At the same
time a home is not necessarily happy
because it Is the house of poverty as
some would have us believe
The art of creating home atmos-
phere is wholly the art of woman and
she has none more charming Mere
care will not do It or mere neatness
and tidiness Indeed those things
sometimes work the other way The
love of prettiness will not do It good
cooking will not do It although It Is
a mighty help Even being gay and
merry and kindly yourself is not quite
enough although It helps even more
than the cooking Success in home-
making as in everything else requires
that you shall feel a real joy in your
work If it is a drag if it is an irk-
some' duty If your mind Is on a thou-
sand outside things that are not home
you cannot make home what it should
be Not that the homemaker should
think of nothing else That Is neither
desirable nor possible But the woman
whose first pleasure Is to create that
beautiful thing home will be a pre-
cious and permanent Influence not
only to her own family but to all her
household to all her guests to the
whole community In which she lives—

The people of European countries as well as the American continent
