WHAT A JEWELRY FIRM DID
They Invested Some of Their
Spare Money in Canadian
Lands.
S. Joseph & Sons, of Des Moines,
Iowa, are looked upon as being shrewd,
careful business men. Having some
spare money on hand, and looking for
a suitable Investment, they decided to
purchase Canadian lands, and farm it.
With the assistance of the Canadian
Government Agent, at Des Moines,
Iowa, they made selection near Cham-
pion, Alberta. They pot 240 acres of
land in wheat, and in writing to Mr.
Hewitt, the Canadian Government
Agent at Des Moines, one of the mem-
bers of the firm says:
"I have much pleasure in, advising
you that on our farm five miles east
of Champion, in the Province of Al-
berta, Canada, this year (1916 we har-
vested and threshed 10,600 bushels of
wheat from 240 acres, this being an
average of 44 bushels and 10 pounds
to the acre. A considerable portion
of the wheat was No. 1 Northern,
worth at Champion approximately
$1.85 per bushel, making a total return
of $19,610, or an average of $81.70 per
acre gross yields. Needless to say, we
are extremely well pleased with our
lands."
It might not be uninteresting to read
the report of C. A. Wright of Milo,
Iowa, who bought 160 acres at Cham-
pion, Alberta, for $3,300 in December,
1915. He stubbled In the whole lot of
It, and threshed 4,487 bushels Grade
No. 2 Northern.
Mr. Wright, being a thorough busi-
ness man, gives the cost of work, and
the amount *paiized. These figures
show that after paying for his land
and cost of operation he had $2,472.67
left.

FALLING HAIR MEANS
DANDRUFF IS ACTIVE
Save Your Hair! Get a 25 Cent Bottle
of Danderlne Right Now—Also
Stops Itching Scalp.
Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair Is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff—that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of Its luster, its strength and its very'
life; eventually producing a feverlsh-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die—then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderlne
tonight—now—any time—will surely
save your hair.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderlne from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
wThich is so beautiful. It will become
wavy and fluffy and have the appear-
ance of abundance; an Incomparable
gloss and softness, but what will
please you most will be after just a
few weeks' use, when you will actual-
ly see a lot of fine, downy hair—new
hair—growing all over the scalp.v Adv.

YES! LIFT A CORN

Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or callus so it lifts
off with fingers.
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
tively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as It
is Inexpensive and Is said not to Irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.—adv.
If a man finds marriage a failure he

CALOMEL IS MERCURY, IT SICKENS!
Don't Lose a Day's Work! If Your Liver Is Sluggish or Bowels
Constipated Take "Dodson's Liver Tone."—It's Fine!
You're bilious! Your liver is slug-
gish! You feel lazy, dizzy and all
knocked out. Your head Is dull, your
tongue Is coated; breath bad; stomach
sour and bowels constipated. But don't
take salivating calomel. It makes you
sick, you may lose a day's work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, breaking it up. That's when
you feel that awful nausea and cramp-
ing.
If you want to enjoy the nicest, gen-
tlest liver and bowel cleansing you
ever experienced just take a spoonful
of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone. Your
■druggist or dealer sells you a 50-cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone under
my personal money-back guarantee
that each spoonful will clean your
sluggish liver better than 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 becauBo you will wake up feeling
fine, your liver will be working, your
headache and dizziness gone, your
stomach will be sweet and your bowels
regular. You will feel like working;
you'll be cheerful; full of vigor and
ambition.
Dodson's Liver Tone is entirely
vegetable, therefore harmless and can-
not salivate. Give It to your children!
Millions of people are using Dodson's
Ljver Tone instead of dangerous cal-
omel now. Your druggist will tell you
that the sale of calomel Is almost
stopped entirely here.—Adv.
Women are fond of telling their Imag-

ACTRESS TELLS SECRET.
A well known actress gives the follow-

water add 1 oe. Bay Rum, a small box of
Barbo Compound, and oss. of glycerine.
Any druggist can put this up or you can
mix It at home at very little cost. Pull
directions for making and use come in
each box of Barbo Compound. It will
gradually darken streaked, faded gray
hair, and make it soft and glossy. It will
not color the scalp, is not sticky or
greasy, and does not rub off. Adv.
