WHAT AN OHIOAN HAS TO SAY ABOUT CONDITIONS IN WESTERN CANADA. W. E. Lewis formerly lived near Dayton, Ohio. He went to Saskatchewan seven years ago with SI,BOO In money, a carload of household effects and farm implements. Including four horses and three cows. Of course, the first year he only got feed from the crops, hot the second year had 100 acres in wheat which made over 2,800 bushels. He has not had a failure In crop, and at present has 22 head of horses, 15 head of cattle and 35 hogs, and owns 1,120 acres of land, all under cultivation. He has been offered $35 an acre for his land, and should he care to dispose of hiß holdings he could pay all his debts and have $30,000 to the good; but, aB he says, “Where could I go to Invest my money and get as good returns." He continues in his letter to the immigration department, August, 1912: “We have equally as good if not better prospects for crops this year as we had three years ago, when our wheat ranged from 30 to 48 bushels per acre. I never believed such crops could be raised until I saw them myself. I had 15 acres that year that made 50 bushels to the acre. Our harvest will be ready by the 12th. We have this season in crop 400 acres of wheat; 125 of oats, 90 of flax and run three binders with four men to do the stooklng. We certainly like this country and the winters, although the winters are cold at times, but we do not Buffer as one would think. What we have accomplished here can be duplicated in almost any of the new districts.” —Advertisement.

ERUPTION ON ANKLE BURNED Kingsville, Mo. —“My trouble began eighteen years ago. Nearly half of the time there were running 3ores around my ankle; sometimes it would be two years at a time before they were healed. There were many nights I did not sleep because of the great Buffering. The sores were deep running ones and so sore that I could not bear for anything to touch them. They would burn all the time and sting like a lot of bees were confined around my ankle. I sould not bear to scratch it, it was always so sensitive to the touch. I could not let my clothes touch it The skin was very red. I made what I called a cap out of white felt blotting paper and soft white cloth to hold it in shape. Thiß I wore night and day. “I tried many remedies for most of the eighteen years with no effect Last summer I sent for some Cutlcura Soap and Ointment. The very first time I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment I gained relief; they relieved the pain right then. It was three months from the time I commenced using Cuticura Soap and Ointment until the sores were entirely healed. I have not been troubled since and my ankle seems perfectly well."

NEW TYPE OF RAILWAY LOCOMOTIVE

A New Type of Railway Locomotive—The Thermo Locomotive Propelled by an Internal-Combustion Engine.

While steam and electric locomotives are. contending for supremacy on American railroads, an entirely new type of railway locomotive has appeared in Germany and has been put Into regular service hauling express trains between Berlin and Magdeburg. It is called the Thermo locomotive, and is propelled by a Diesel internal combustion' engine fed on crude oil. The locomotive has a four-

GIVES STRONG LIGHT

INCANDESCENT BELIEVED BEST FOR LOCOMOTIVE. Not Powerful Enough to Dazzle, But Enables Engineer to See Far Down the Line He Is Traveling. The principal light sources now available for locomotive head lamps are oil flames, acetylene gas flames, incandescent electric lamps and electric arc lamps, says the Electrical World. The light emitted by any one of these, to be effective for head-lamp service, must be concentrated into a beam. There are two principal methods of accomplishing this —one by the ÜBe of a lens, the other by the use of a parabolic reflector. As it is practically impossible to concentrate a powerful oil or gas flame into a small volume, these light sources are eliminated where a strong head lamp is required. The electric arc is a very powerful light source of small volume. Backed by the proper reflector, It will produce an extremely powerful, dazzling beam. Many rcfads, especially the doubletrack lines equipped with block signals, consider such a beam detrimental to the safe operation of trains, owing to the temporary blinding of the engineer of an approaching locomotive, reflection from glass signal lenses, fog, etc. Between the flame head lamps and the other extreme comes the incandescent. The present high efficiency drawn-wire tungsten can be formed into a lamp filament of high candle power occupying a very small space. With such a light source backed by a good parabolic reflector excellent beams can be obtained of sufficient intensity to enable an engineer to distinguish a man a thousand or more feet ahead of the locomotive, and having spread enough to cover a doubletrack roadbed without throwing a powerful light onto the glass signals along the Bides or over the roadbed. Tests by various railroads have shown that a man In white clothes can be discerned about one and sixtenths times as far down the track as one in gray, while the latter can be seen one and three-tenths times as far as a man In black. The Braking distance of an express train running 60 miles per hour is in the neighborhood of from 1,200 feet to 1,500 feet, depending upon various road conditions. The incandescent head lamp would show up obstructions in sufficient time to allow the engineer to reduce speed to such a point that the safety of the passengers would be assured.

THE SIGNAL LIGHT. Twinkle, twinkle. Signal Light. , It’s me who lights you every night, Away up on a pole no high. Like a firebug In the sky. Every night I climb up there, Sixty feet straight In the air. Risk my life to make a light So that trains can run all right. When the blaring sun Is set. And the semaphore Is wet. Sometimes covered with thick IceGee, that makes the climbing nice— When It’s forty-two below. Little light, then out you go! Twinkle, twinkle. Slgnifl Light, Won't you, please, stay lit tonight? —Dayton (O.) Herald.

Called Involuntary Evidence.

The question as to whether things a man says in his sleep may be used against him was involved In Martinez vs. People, 132 Pacific Reporter,- where the defendant was charged with the murder of a woman. One of the people’s witnesses testified that a few days after the killing he slept in a bunkhouse with, defendant, and that about half past one in the morning he heard him exclaim: “I shot her! 1 shot her! I shot her! I had to do it to save myself from the , pen;" and that he thought defendant was asleep, but did not know. The supreme court of Colorado holds that it Is only the voluntary statements of a party that may be used against him, and one Is not responsible for what he says in bis sleep because he Is unconscious and it is not voluntary, and that where there is a question as to whether defendant was asleep or awake whsn be made the utterances it should be left to the Jury under. proper instructions. /

Mounted on the driving truck is a powerful V-shaped Diesel motor operating a shaft from which power is carried to the driving wheels by short connecting rods. Driving cabs have been built on both ends so that the locomotive can run Yn either direction, and oil tanks are carried on each side of the two cabs.—-Popular Mechanics.

LOOK FOR TWO LOCOMOTIVES

Lost, Strayed or Stolen, They Are Missing From a Leading English Railroad. Two locomotives have been mislaid by the Southeastern & Chatham Railway company of England. The loss was not discovered until the stocktaking returns showed a balance of two engines on the wrong side, and now inquiries are being made up and down the line for a pair of dark green locomotives, last seen at Ashford Junction. For one of the missing engines there is some excuse; it is comparatively new and inexperienced, but the other ought to have known better, for it has been in the service of the company for years. Stranded on some lonely siding or “bunkered” In some vastly terminus, the missing locomotives are forsaken and forgotten, while the rust is eating into their boilers. It has been hinted that a thorough spring cleaning might solve the mystery and incidentally produce other interesting remains. The railway officials are undecided whether the engines are lost, stolen, or strayed, but they are confident that sooner or later the wandering ones will return, it may be with damaged funnels and tarnished paint, but with their boilers in the right place. Whenever they turn their weary wheels homeward they will be sure of a warm welcome and no questions asked.

Land of Wheelbarrows.

The wheelbarrow is the most common medium of transportation in ■Shantung, China. The load is 'balanced about the wheel eo that the workman does not have to carry a portion of the load, as is the case with the American wheelbarrow. Some wheelbarrows have but one push man; some having a pulling man as well; sorae have one, two or three donkeys to aid in the pulling, and some are equipped with a sail to obtain the help of favorable winds. The equipment depends on the load carried, the maximum load being about a ton. Transportation by wheelbarrow is from five to eight times as expensive as transportation by rail in this province. Thus, the native methods of land transportation, even with labor receiving a wage less than ten cents gold a day. ate costly, disproportionately so as compared With the prices of other commodities. Yet Shantung has tens of thousands of wheelbarrows engaged in traffic. It is easy to appreciate what railroads will mean to the development of this densely populated province.

Valuable Old Books.

An authority on curios notes in London Opinion that £7 m) (33,500) was the price paid for a copy of the first collected edition of the poems of Villon, the thieves poet (1522). The book bore the title “Lee Oevres de Maistre FTancoyß Villon.” The first edition (1653) of Isaak Walton’s “Compleat Angler” always commands a high price. A copy recently sold for £560, but in 1900 a copy sold at £ 1.085. Walton, like John Gilpin, was a linen draper of famous London town, who illustrated in his long life the benefit to be derived from a hobby. Angling was his recreation and his “Conpleat Angler,” with its charming descriptions of country life and the gentle sport has given him a place among the immortals. A month ago the autograpftmanuscript of Mark Twain’s “A Yankeifat the Court of King Arthur” sold at Sotheby’s auction house, London, for £IOO.

Unforeseen Circumstances.

Huntingdon Guardians had been informed that a woman whom they had appointed sick ward attendant, had written that owing to “unforeseen circumstances” |he must withdraw from the appointment. The clerk had written that the guardians would probably want something more than “unforeseen circumstances” as an 1 excuse, whereupon the woman wrote: “I was not aware that the young man I was engaged to was about to make me an offer of marriage. ... It was a difficult position to be placed In, but I had either to accept one or lose the other.” The. board had accepted the explanation.^—London Evening Standard. i

Ever feel that you can go no further —that you mußt have rest for that lame and aching back—relief from that constant, dead-tired feeling? Have you suspected your kidneys? Kidney disease shows itself in backache, nervous troubles and disorders of the kidney secretions. If tired, worried, lame, rheumatic, dizzy and nervous don't let a possible weakness of the kidneys escape attention until it turns into a case of gravel, dropsy or Bright’s disease. ■* Sick kidneys go from bad to worse. Their useful work of filtering the blood is only partly done. Poisons that should be passed out with the kidney secretions are held in the blood, circulating freely, attacking muscles, nerves and vital organs. The kidneys inflame, swell and throb, and that is the cause of sharp pains in the back, or that dull, constant heavy ache. For quick help use Doan’s Kidney Pills. No other-kidney remedy is used and recommended so generally. Take them when you feel the first bad backache, or see the first disturbance of the kidney secretions. Doan’s have

John. D. Rockefeller, talking to a Cleveland clergyman, said one day, with a whimsical but rather Bad smile: “From the stories that are told about my love of money and my disregard for humanity you’d think I was some such monster as the criminal of the anecdote. “A judge once said to a terrible criminal: " ‘And you actually had the heart to murder this poor man for a matter of 50 cents!’ “ ‘Well, your honor,’ said the criminal, with an injured-innocence air, ‘well, your honor, what 'do you expect? Fifty cents here and fifty cents there —it soon mounts up.’ ”

Take Your Choice of Morals.

Escape of a student who fell down j the Lutschine gorge in the Alps but' was caught on a rock and remained 1 suspended for two days and nights,' recalls to the London Chronicle an-; other grundelwald escape of which Leslie Stephen tells. Returning from; the chalet above the Bismeer, one of Stephen’s guides, Michel, reached the edge of a cliff where a wooden rail guarded the path. Unfortunately the rail left off prematurely, and Michel had been drinking. So he stepped over and fell on hard rock nearly 100 feet below. He lay there alii night and next morning «ot up and walked home, sober and whole. Stephen submits two morals for choice: “Don’t get drunk when you bave tOTvalk along the edge of an Alpine cliff,” and “Get drung It you are likely to fall over an Alpine cliff.”

She says: “We quit coffee and have used Postum for the past eight years, and drink It nearly every meal We never tire of 1L “For several years previous to quitting coffee 1 could scarcely eat anything on account of dyspepsia, bloating after meals, palpitation, sick headache —in fact was in such misery and distress I tried living on hot water and toast. “Rearing of Postum I began drinking it and found it delicious. My ailments disappeared, and now I can eat anything I want without trouble. “My parents and husband had about the iame experience. Mother would often suffer after eating, while yet drinking coffee. My husband was a great coffee drinker and suffered from indigestion and headache. “After he stopped coffee and began Postum both ailments left him. He will not drink anything else now and we have It three times a day, I could write more but am no gusher—only, state plain facts.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Write for a copy of the famous little book, “The Road to Wellville.” Postum now comes in two forms: Regular Postum—must be well boded. 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum—is a soluble powder. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage Instantly. 30c. and 50c tins.
