It had been known for some time
that some form of "work or tight" plan
had been submitted to President Wll.
son, but there had been no Intimation
that It was so far-reaching In scope.
Will Help Labor.
Both the military authorities and
department of labor officials believe It
will go a long way toward solving :he
labor problem for farmers, ahip-bulld-
ers and munitions makers and will
end for the present at least, talk of
conscription of labor. Announcement
gives notice significantly that the list
of non-useful occupations will be ex-
tended from time to time as necessity
requires.
The statement of the provost mar-
shall general's office follows:
“Provost Marshal General Crowder
announced an amendment to the se-
lective service regulations which deals
with the great question of compelling
men not engaged In a useful occupa-
tion immediately to apply themselves
to some form of labor contributing to
the general good. The Idler, too, will
find himself confronted with the al.
ternative of finding suitable employ-
ment or entering the army.
Given Until July 1.
“Thla regulation provides that after
July 1 any registrant who Is found by
tlM local board to be a habitual ,dler
or not engaged In some useful occupa.
tlon. shall be summoned before the
board, given a chance to explain and
In the absence of a satisfactory ex-
planation, to be Inducted Into the mil.
ltary service of the United States.
"Any local board will be authorized
to take some action whether It iias
original Jurisdiction of the registrant
or not; In other words, any man loaf-
ing around a pool room In Chicago
may be held to answer to • Chicago
board even though he may have reg-
istered In New York and lived there
moet of his life.
"The regulations, which apply to idle
registrants, will be deemed to apply
•lao to gamblers of all description,
and employe* and attendants of auck-
•t shops and race tracks, fortune toll-
era, clairvoyants, palmists and the
like, who for the purpose of the regu- ,
lations shall be considered as Idlers.
During the past year there has been
a greater demand for farm lands In
Western Canada than for a number of
years past. The demand Is for good
farm land* Improved or unimproved.
And at an Increase of from ten to fif-
teen dollars an acre more than the
same lands could be had for a couple
of years ago.
The rtae In the price of every kind
of produce grown on these Western
lunds. In some cases to double and In
other* to treble the price prevailing be-
fore 1914, have attracted and are at-
tracting in ever-lncretming proportions
the men who are anxious to Invest
their money, and apply their energies
In the production of wheat for which
the allied nations are calling with
voice* which grow louder and more
anxious as the mouths roll ou, and the
end of the war still seems distant.
Beef, and more es|»eclally bacon, are
required in ever greater quantities,
and the price of all these things has
soared, until It la not a question of
what shall we produce, but how much
can we produce. Even should this
world calamity be brought to a chise
In six months from now, it will be
years before normal pre-war price*
prevail, and meantime self-interest if
not patriotism la turning the minds of
thousands hack to the land. The In-
evitable consquence has been the rise
In values of land, especially wheat
land.
The Calgnry Herald, commenting on
these conditions says:
"From Inquiries made from leading
dealers In farming and ranching prop-
erties, and from the Information gath-
ered In other ways, it is known that
the value of all land—wheat laud,
mixed farming properties, and even
good grazing land—has risen In the
last two years 40 per cent. Wheat
lands In some districts have practical-
ly doubled in price. One dealer In
farm lands recently sold three sect Ions
for $70 an acre, one extra good quar-
ter went as high as $90. and another
brought $100. These are, of course,
large prices, but that they will be
equaled or even surpassed In the near
future Is beyond question. There Is a
feature about this rush to the land
from which the most solid hope can
be druwn for the success of the move-
ment. The proper tillage of land, to
produce large crops in a climate like
<»urs la now understood and practiced
ns It never was In the early days of
the province. It would seem too thut
with the Increase Ar land tinder culti-
vation, the seasons are chunging and
the rulnfall becoming greater and more
regular.
“Crops are being harvested, especial-
ly In Southern Alberta, which would
have seemed Impossible to the old-time
farmer, with his old-fashioned ideas
of breaking and seeding. And at the
price now set hy the government for
wheat and which possibly may be in-
creased during the coming season, the
return to the practical skilled agricul-
turist must necessnrlly he very large.
“What matters $10 or even $20 an
acre extra on wheat land when a re-
turn as high as 50 bushels and even
more may he taken from every acre
sown? With hogs bringing $'20 a hun-
dred pounds; beef on the hoof at $12.
and mutton $10, while wool under the
new government arranged system of
handling and sale brings OT) cents a
pound (and these values cannot fall
to any great extent for some years)
the demand for land will continue and
values Increase In a corresponding de-
gree.
"There has never been in the history
<< Canada a time so favorable for the
farmer as the present: self-interest, j
the inspiration of patriotic feeling, the
aid freely extended by the govern-
ment. who are permitting the import J
of certain agricultural Implements '

raise the price of Alberta land."—Ad- *

TUST wherein lies the reason for the use of vegetable preparations for infanta

Why are any but vegetable preparations unsafe for infants and children ?
Why are Syrups, Cordials and Drops condemned by all Physicians and

Why has the Government placed a ban on all preparations containing, among

Hegerr.an A Co., of New York City, N. Y., say : “W# can say for yoor
Castoria that it is one of the beet selling preparations in our stores.
That is conclusive evidence that it is satisfactory to the users.”
W. H. Chapman, of Montreal, Que., says : “I have sold Fletcher’s Cas-

Its virtues. I look upon your preparation as one of the few so called
