SOCIAL DUTIES TOO ARDUOUS
Despite "Newness" of the Country,
There Are No Better Institutions
of Learning Anywhere.
There !s frequently hesitation ex-
pressed by those whose minds uro
utmost made up to move to the agrl-
tultural IuniIs of Western Canada,
that the children will not enjoy the
•chool privileges alTorded them In
their present surroundings. This is a
reasonable doubt. The country is new.
It is within the memory of many who
will read this that the bison roamed
these prairies at will, that there were
no railroads, no settlements beyond
that of some of the Hudson liay posts,
a few courageous ranchmen and In-
dians. It was a country of unknown
quantity. It Is different today, and It
bus been made different In that short
time because of the latent stores of
wealth hidden In the land, which bus
been made to yield bountifully through
the daring enterprise of the pioneer
and the railways that had the courage
to extend their enterprising lines of
■teel throughout Its length and u great
portion of Its breadth. Villages and
hamlets have developed Into towns and
towns Into cities, supported and main-
tained by those who, coming practi-
cally from all parts of the world, and
many, yes, thousands, from the neigh-
boring states to the south, have taken
tip land that cost them but a trifle as
compared with what they were able
to dispose of the holdings upon which
they had been living for years. These
people brought with them a method
In life that electrified and changed the
entire Canadian West. Today things
are different, and a trip to Western
Canada will show a country new but
old. New because changes have been
wrought that give to the newcomer
the opportunity to become part of a
growing and developing country—It
Klves the chance to say what shall be
made of It; old because there has been
brought Into Its life those things
that have proven useful In older coun-
tries, while there has been eliminated
everything that would tend to a buck-
ward stage. A writer, dealing with
nodal matters, treats of the schools,
and says:
"Everywhere the school follows the
plow. Cities which a few years ago
were represented by scattered shacks
are proud today of their school build-
tags. The web of education is being
spread over the prairie. Lately,
however, a new policy has been adopt-
ed. Instead of many rural schools,
l»ig central schools are being estab-
lished-each serving an area of fifty
square miles or so, and children who \
live a mile and a half away are con-
veyed thither in well-warmed motor
cars. In the summer, of course, they
come on "bikes" or ponies.
"And the young Idea Is taught to
shoot In many directions. The Instruc-
tion is not limited to the three It's,
but nature study and manual crafts
lire taught, In order that the future
agriculturist may have his education-
al foundation laid. Many rural schools
have pleasant gardens attached, with
flower and vegetable beds, and the
Visitor to one such school deep in the
Country says she will never forget the
pride with which a little lad showed
lier the patch of onions in his plot.
Thrift Is also tnuglit In the schools
t>y means of the dime bank.
"Following the primary schools there

Is free. This Includes classics, modern
languages, science, mathematics, ad-
vanced English, and often agricultural,
•commercial, and technical subjects,

this lasts, and then comes matricula-

Old-Fashioned Farmer Realizes He
Could Never Keep Up With the
Procession Today.
"What kind of farming experience
did you have?" usked the reporter.
"Well, son," replied the philosopher,
"I only bad a light attack. When I
lived ou u farm all you hud to do was
plant, cultivate, mend fence, ho«
weeds, milk cows, slaughter pigs, dow
tor sick chickens, fix windmills, go to
town after the mail, orgy with light-
uln' rod agents, attend the county
fair once a yeur, cut wheat an' have
It thrashed, shuck corn, churn butter,
dig potatoes, buy fertilizer, mend the
broken plow with a piece o' wire,
break colts, wash the wool and do
things like that. It wus hard enough
life then, but Just think what it Ib now,
bavin' to be a farmer and keep up
with the radio, fox trottlu', silk shirts
and ut least two cars! Son, even at
my age I might go back and do old-
fashioned farmln', but I'd never be
able to keep up with a modern farm-

FREEDOM FROM
LAXATIVES
Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced
Them.
bills snd salts give temporary re-
lief from constipation only at the ex-
pense of permanent Injury, says un
eminent medical authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way—u means us simple as Nature
Itself.
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps 'lie food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat-
ural lubricant Is not sufficient. Medi-
cal authorities huvo found that tlie
gentle lubricating action of Nujol most
closely resembles that of Nature's own
lubricant. As Nujol Is not a laxative
It cannot gripe. It Is In no sense a
medicine. And like pure water it Is
harmless and pleasant.
Nujol Is prescribed by physicians;
used in leading hospitals. Get a bottle

REALIZED HIS BAD REPUTE
Untrustworthy Man Had Goad Reason
for Wanting His Wife to Give '
Alarm for Fire.
William Skaggs was known as the
most untrustworthy man in Kllnker-
ville. He had never been caught ill a
malicious He or in circulating even an
unkind fact, only it seemed an Impos-
sibility for him to distinguish between
fact and fiction, once his tongue was
loosed. He was humbly aware of this
shortcoming.
Once a small outbuilding caught
lire, lie hurried for the water bucket,
and called to bis wife, "Hun out to the
road and holler fire!"
"Holler yourself!" she shouted back,
while she ran with another pail.
"Me!" ho returned. "Who'd come If
1 hollered fire, I'd like to know? If
they did, they'd bring matches* and
kindling !"—Philadelphia Ledger.
A Rural Contemporary Sings—
The gentle bee Is humming and the
rammer girl's coming, while the sprink-
ling cart the street Is going through,
and the host of city people that In
summer we shall keep'll soon be com-
ing up to spend a mouth or two. The
hammock will be swaying In the
breezes 'neath the freezes and the
farmer will go haying In the meadow
If he pleazes, and this rhyme would

YOUNG GIRLS NEED CARE
Mothers, watch your Daughters' Health
Health h Happiness
From the time a pirl reaches tho
•ge of twelve until womanhood is es-
tablished. she needs all the care a
thoughtful mother can fTive.
The condition that the girl is then
passing through is so critical, and may
have such far reaching effects upon
ber future happiness and health, that
it is almost criminal for a mother or
guardian to withhold counsel or ad-
lice.
Many a woman has suffered years
of prolonged pain and misery through
having been the victim of thought-
lessness or ignorance on tile part of
those who should have guirfed her
through the dangers and difficulties
that beset this period.
Mothers should teach their girls
what danger comes from standing
around with cold or wet feet, from
lifting heavy articles, and from over-
working. Do not let them over-study.
If they complain of headache, pains
in the back and lower limbs, they
need a mother's thoughtful care and
sympathy
