IN IKE CASE
Results Following Settlement
Show That Conditions in West-
ern Canada Are Highly
Satisfactory.
WHEN THE MEAT IS BOILED
Until a few years ago Mr. Heury
Lohmann lived at Effingham, 111. He
thought he would better his condition
in a new country, where he would
have wider scope for his farralDg op-
erations. It would not seem essential
to refer to Mr. Lohmann, at this par-
ticular time, as if German blood, but
for the fact that so many false state-
ments have gone .)ut as to ill treat-
ment of Germans in Canada.
Writing from Willmont, Sask., un-
der date of January 30, 1916, Mr. Loh
wann says:
"We are perfectly satisfied in this
country, and doing well up here,
"I bought a half section of land and
took up a homestead, my three sons
also tcok homesteads, two of them
buying each 160 acres of land as well.
I sold my homestead, and I and one of
m:* sons own a threshing outfit.
"The crop this year was good; the
oats went 80 to 90 bushels per acre
and wheat went 40 to 50 bushels and
the price is fair."
Sam Morrow, of Millet, Alta., in
writing to Mr. J. M. MacLachlan, Ca-
nadian government agent at Water
town, S. D., says: "I am well pleased
with the country. The climate is bet-
ter than I ever thought it could
so far north; ideal climate for stock
I have some colts and cattle that have
not been inside of a stable in four
years. I consider this a fine country
for mixed farming. I know of farm-
ers around here who had 42 bushels
of barley to the acre and 55 bushels
o' oats to the acre."
Jacob Goetz of Piapot, Sask., had 43
acres of wheat from which he got
1,200 bushels, and got an average of
93 bushels of oats to the acre.
Golden Prairie, Sask., is a district
largely settled by South Dakotans.
Horace Blake Is one of those. lie
says: "The crops of 1915 were Im-
mense."
Wheat in his locality went from 40
to 55 bushels per acre; oats about 80
bushels on an average. One hundred
bushels of potatoes were grown on a
quarter of an acre rf land; twelve po-
tatoes weighed 30 pounds. His horses
run out all winter, and come in fat.
Ho raised excellent corn, and fat-
tened hegs on it. He concludes an
interesting letter by saying: "There
are schools In every district. The
people here are most all hustlers and
arc fast pushing to the front. When
I first came up here cn almost every
half section stood a little 12x14 shack,
now almost everyone has real modern
houses and barns."

Some Simple Rules That Must Be Ob-
served If the Best Results
Are to Be Had.
Boiled meats to be palatable and
Juicy must be cooked with care and al-
ways below the boiling point. To boil
meat plunge it into a kettle of boiling
water, boil rapidly for five minutes to
Beal or cement the juices on the out-
side, then push it to the back of the
Btove where it cannot possibly boll, but
will remain at about 180 degrees Fah-
renheit for six or eight hours. A piece
of boiled meat should be juicy, tender
and rich in flavor. Add salt one hour
before the meat Is done.
In all methods of cooking the ob-
ject is to make the meat tender, to
increase its flavor, and to retain its
juices. No matter which of the meth-
ods you choose to accomplish this, we
must quickly sear the outside of the
meat to prevent the entrance of water
and the escape of the juices.
In making soups purchase the shin
or leg of beef, and use cold water to
draw out the flavoring Juices. The
object is directly opposite from boil-
ing. By using cold water and cook-
ing the meat at a low temperature,
we get the flavoring and stimulating
parts of the meat, but we cannot make
a meat soup nutritious unless we add
other materials. Clear and hot, it is
stimulating, but has no food value

DAINTY MENU FOR BREAKFAST
First Meal of the Day Is of Consld
erable Importance to All the
Family.
FOR THOSE FOND OF HONEY
The question of the breakfast menu
depends upon the Individual taste
The fruit should not be too cold. The
fruits in season should naturally be
served. If the tray is of ample size
a small compote filled with cherries
and currants arranged together on
shaved Ice is attractive. Oranges
should never be sent up on a tray un-
prepared. Hot toast, preferably un-
buttered, seems to be growing in favor
for breakfast, though other hot breads
are frequently served.
Popovers and crisp corn muffins are
excellent for breakfast if they can be
served as soon as baked, and with
them there should be marmalade of
some variety. It is a wise plan to see
that the tray is always supplied with
a little Jar of Jam or marmalade.
Laurel, Miss.—Mrs. Martha A. Cor-
bin. R. F. D. 4, of this place, writes:
"I am glad to write this letter and you
are welcome to use it... in any way
you choose.
I have had a soreness in my side so
that I could not lie on it to Bleep. The
back of my head burt me a great deal
too, so that I had to He with my head
high on the pillow. Once a month I
would have a great deal of back-
ache... Then I would suffer from
dizziness, which wculd be so bad I
could hardly sit up and would have a
very queer feeling In my head. The
neighbors all advised me to have a
doctor, but I had heard a great deal of
Cardui and decided to take that. I
swelled a great deal too... When
that first began on me I would want to
stretch and when I would stretch, the
pain would run to my hips and shoul-
ders.
"But I began to take Cardui, and be-
fore I had taken a half bottle I began
to feel better and the swelling began
to go down. The pain began to dimin-
ish and by the time I had taken two
bottles I felt well enough to quit tak-
ing It. . . I think it Is the grandest
medicine that women can use."

To see the tinge of healthy bloom
In your face, to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up with-
out a headache, backache, coated
tongue or a nasty breath, in fact to
feel your best, day In and day out, Just
try lnslde-bathlng every morning for
one week.
Before breakfast each day, drink a
glass of real hot water with a tea-
spoonful of limestone phosphate In It
as a harmless moans of washing from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
the previous day's indigestible waste,
sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food Into tho stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully In-
vigorating. It cleans out all the sour
fermentations, gases and acidity and
gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate will cost very little at your drug-
gist or general store, but Is sufficient
to demonstrate that Just as soap and
hot water cleanses, sweetens and
freshens the skin, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the blood
and Internal organs. Those who aro
subject to constipation, bilious attacks,
acid stomach, rheumatic twinges, also
those whose skin is sallow and com-
plexion pallid, are assured that one
week of lnslde-bathlng will have them
both looking and feeling better in ev-

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Youngerl Try Grandma's
Recipe of 8age and Sulphur and
Nobody Will Know.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound-
ed, brings back tho natural color and
lustre to tho hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make It at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug Btoro for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul-
phur Hair Remedy." You will get a
large bottle for about 50 cents. Every-
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it dees It
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with U and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn-
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu-
tralize Irritating Acids—Splendid
for the 8ystem.
Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where It often remains to Irritate and
inflame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or sotting up an Irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer Is In
constant dread, tho water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there ia
difficulty In avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urln*
tlon. While It is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful In a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids In the urine so It r.o
longor Is a source of lrrltatlou to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with llthla,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent ltthla-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.—Adv.
