WESTERN CANADA'S PROSPECTS FOR 1914

Excellent Spring for Work and Wheat Seeding About Finished. The writer has just returned from an extensive trip through the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, in Western Canada. The crop conditions are the very best, and no one locality seems to have an advantage over another in this respect The uniformity in growth is remarkable, and in all parts of the three provinces spring wheat at the time of writing. May 10th, is well above the ground from two to three inches. Considerable fall plowing was done last year, and this, with the summer fallow, is already seeded, so that practiaftly wheat seeding is over by this date. Everywhere the farmers are busy and the whole country presents one great scene of activity—three-horse, fourhone and five-horse teams are busy preparing land for barley, oats and flax. On some of the larger farms batteries of steam and gasoline outfits are at work, but in a great many districts where these have been operated in the past they are being displaced by hones, owing no doubt partially to the difficulty of securing experienced men to operate them. Anyway, there is being put into agriculture in Western Canada, greater effort with more promise than for some years past. The soil is in the best possible condition; moisture has been sufficient, there have been no winds to dry out the soil, and If the farmers have had to lay up for a day or so now and again, It was merely that the ground might have the advantage of the rain and an occasional snow, which promise so much for the growing crop. With some warm weather the grain will come along in a manner that win equal the best years Western Canada has ever had. It must not be thought from this that the farmers are full bent on securing a grain crop alone. In nearly every district there is more and more the Indication and inclination to go Into mixed farming. Herds of cattle now dot the plains that up to the present had been fully given up to grain growing, hogs and sheep are In evidence. New buildings are to be seen on a great many places, these being pig houses and cow stables, although protection of cattle is not regularly required, excepting for calves and such cows as it may be necessary to house from time to time. The growing of alfalfa and other 'fodder grasses is an Industry that is being rapidly developed. During this spring a splendid class of new settlers have gone in, many of them from the eastern states. These have seen what success the western and central states man has achieved in Western Canada, and are now going in in hundreds. The movement from Montana, Oregon and Washington to Canada continues without any abatement as to numbers and value of effects, while the central and eastern states are still sending an excellent class of farmers with means sufficient so begin farming on a scale that will pay from the start. Those who contemplate visiting the Panama Exposition next year will find that one of the most interesting trips they can make will be via the Canadian West There will be three lines of railway they can use—the Canadian Pacific, Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific, all of which will have through to coast lines completed. Thus will be given a view of prairie, woodland and mountain scenery unexcelled in America. —Advertisement

FACE ITCHED AND BURNED

383 No. Union St, Aurora, Hl. —“My ailment started with a little pimple and it always itched and burned ter* ribly. I scratched it and in a few days my face was all covered with sores. It ran up to my eyes and the day after I could not see out of my right eye. I was unable to get any rest. I couldn’t go to bed, being afraid of getting the clothing all •oiled, although I had my face all bandaged. “I was given two jars of salve but it kept getting worse. It was something like a running sore because every time I used some of the salve I had to wrap bandages around my neck to keep the water and pus from running down my body. I wrote for a sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment.and in a few days I received these and washed my face with the Cuticura Soap and put on some Cuticura Ointment and the next morning my face felt cool and somewhat relieved. After using the sample I bought some Cuticura Soap and Ointment at the drug store. I followed this treatment just twenty-six days and after using one cake of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment I was cured.” (Signed) George Miller, Jan. 1. 1913.

JUST SAVED THE SITUATION

British Royalty's Narrow Escape From What Might Be Called "Simply Awful” Position. When truth gets a fair Inning she rarely fails to be much funnier than fiction. Strange to say, old England, where truth is supposed to be always dismally sober, now and then makes quite a merry record. A rector of the Church of England, in a, remote parish In Wiltshire recently discovered among his parishioners a fine old figure of a woman, age one hundred and four, the widow of an innkeeper. This ancient dame has eight sons living, six of whom have served in either the army or the navy. The rector wrote informing King George of these things, and the king ordered a warm congratulatory telegram to be sent to her. Just as the telegram was sent off, the rector, having received additional testimony concerning the “old un," wrote again, explaining that she had been twice divorced, and had not gone through the marriage ceremony at all with the man of her latest household. Another wire was promptly set at work at the king's command, ordering the postmaster at the other end to stop delivery of the royal congratulations, and that functionary had barely time to grab the coattails of the messenger with the bicycle as he was about to-make delivery.

Simply stop It for a time and use Postum In place of It, then note the beneficial effects. The truth will appear. “Six years ago I was in a very bad condition,” writes a Tenn. lady.. “1' suffered from Indigestion, nervousness and Insomnia. •_ “I was then an Inveterate coffee drinker, but it was long before I could be persuaded that It was coffee that hurt me. Finally I decided to leave it off a few days and find out the truth. “The first morning I left off coffee I had a raging headache, so I decided I must have something to take the place of coffee." (The headache was caused by the reaction of the coffee drug—caffeine.) "Having heard of Posturn through a friend who used It, I bought a package and tried it I did not like i>at first but after I learned how to make it right according to directions on pkg., I would not change back to coffee for anything. "When I began to use Posturn I weighed .only 117 lbs. Now I weigh 170 and as I have not taken any tonic in that time I can only attribute my present good health to the use of Postum in place of coffee.
