PROSPERITY IN CANADA.

Th* Farmer in Western Canada Achieves Wonderful Success. One of the first things that the man who wishes to change his residence endeavors to find out is where he can go and succeed. It need be a matter of little doubt or indecision now. During the past four or five years the development of Western (panada has been so rapid, and the conditions of life there so widely known, that upwards of 100,000 Americans have taken up their homes there, and the experience of these people is that they are thoroughly satisfied with their choice of home. The methods of fanning there are similar to those adopted in the United States, but the operations are simpler, the yield of grain greater and the profits more satisfactory. Ranching is carried on with lots of success. Mixed farming is always profitable,while the results in grain-raising are as certain as splendid soil, excellent climate and lots of sunlight can give. The yields of ——, but nothing is as satisfactory as the experience of the farmer himself, and extracts are selected from one. A good, intelligent farmer named Mears, John Mears to be exact, left Cavalier county, North Dakota, two years ago and followed the thousands who had already gone to Canada. He had twenty-five years’ experience in Minnesota, in buying grain, including flax, but in all his experience he never saw a district so well suited to the growth of flax as Western Canada. The financial results of Mr. Mears’ operations in a single season are as follows: Wheat, 3,000 bushels, 1 hard, at 57'40, $1,785; 2,680 bushels 1 Northern, at 54c, $1,457.20; Oats, 1,750 bushels, at 35c, $612.50; Spelts, 154 bushels, at 75c, $115.50; Flax, 324 bushels, at $2, $628. Total, $4,598.20, a return of more than $4,500 from a little over 250 acres, an average of $lB per acre, is surely testimony sufficiently strong to satisfy the most incredulous as to the money to be made out of the soil of the Canadian West. It is to facts like these —arguments expressible and demonstrable in dollars and cents — that the steady northward movement of American farmers is due. Mr. Mears is settled near Arcola, Assa. A number of Americans who have chosen Western Canada as a home had the idea that a man enjoyed less freedom in Canada, but they soon found their mistake, and say the laws of Canada are the most liberal in the world, and such as prevent the litigation which breeds so much bad feeling between people in the United States and costs them so dear in lawyers’ fees. The government has established agencies at St. Paul. Minn.; Omaha, Neb.; Kansas City, Mo.; Chicago, JI!.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Milwaukee, Wis.; Wausau, Wis.; Detroit, Sault Ste. and Marquette, Mich.; Toledo, Ohio; Watertown, S. Dakota; Grand Forks, N. Dakota, and Great Falls, Mont., and the suggestion is made that by addressing any of these, who are authorized agents of the government, it will be to the advantage of the "reader, who will be given the fullest and most authentic information regarding the results of mixed farming, dairying, ranching and grainraising, and also supply information as to freight and passenger rates, etc.

Leaves in the Hair.

It is eminently correct to wear leaves in one’s hair, and apparently many women are forsaking their tiaras and crowns for simple green leaves. At the debutante dance of December these small chaplets were extremely popular and Mrs. John Jacob Astor has been seen with her brown hair clasped by white leaves, tipped with brilliants. The jewelers who followed closely the approval of the fashionable women are manufacturing silver and enameled leaves, but the simpler silk bits of trimming are in better taste. Flowers pre not worn in the hair this winter, although the holiday season brought forth the use of holly, and, with some women, sprigs of mistletoe. Begonias are enjoying popularity this year and some headdresses are made gay with these waxy flowers. Pink, however, is not used this year and begonias suffer in consequence.—New York Press.

Salem, Ind., Feb. 5,1903.—“1 received the trial package of Doan’s Kidney Pills and I must confess they did me wonderful good. It seems strange to say that I had tried several kinds of kidney medicines without doing me any good.

LADY ON EDITORIAL STAFF OF LEADING RELIGIOUSiWEEKLY Sends the Following Grand Testimonial to the Merits of Cuticura Remedies in the Treatment of Humours of the Blood, Skin and Scalp.

•‘I wish to give my testimony to the efficiency of the Cuticura Remedies in what seems to me two somewhat remarkable cases. I had a number of skin tumours small ones—on my arms which had never giv6n me serious trouble ; but about two years ago one came on my throat. At first it was only about as large as a pinhead, but, as it was in a position where my collar, if not just right, would irritate it, it soon became very sensitive and began to grow rapidly. Last spring it was us large, if not larger, than a bean. A little unusual irritation of rny collar started, it to swelling, and in a day or two it was as large as half an orange. I was very much alarmed, and was at a loss to determine whether it was a carbuncle or a malignant tumor.

I yi wmml / \ \ ° j

“ My friends tried to persuade me to consult my physician ; but dreading that he would insist on using the knife, I would not consent to go. Instead I got a small bottle of Cuticura Resolvent and a box of Cuticura Ointment. I took the former according to directions, and spread a thick layer of the Ointment on a linen cloth and placed it on the swelling. On renewing it I would bathe my neck in very warm water and Cuticura Soap. In a few days the Cuticura Ointment had drawn the swelling to a head, when it broke. Every morning it was opened with a large sterilized needle, squeezed and bathed, and fresh Ointment put on. Pus and blood, and a yellow, cheesy, tumorous matter came out. In about three or four weeks’ time this treatment completely eliminated boil and tumor. The soreness that had ex-

tended down into my cheat was all gone, and my neck now seems to be perfectly well. “ About five or six years ago my sister had a similar experience. She had two large lumps come under her right arm, the result of a sprain. They grew rapidly, and our physician wanted to cut them out. I would not listen to it, apd the tried the Cuticura Remedies (as I did * few months ago) with magical effect In six weeks’ time the lumps bad entirely disappeared,and have never returned. <_ “ 1 have great faith in the Cuticnra Remedies, and I believe they might be as efficacious in similar cases with other people, and thus save much suffering, and perhaps life I have derived so much benefit from the use of them myself that I am

constantly advising ethers to use them. Recently I recommended them to an office boy for his father, who was disabled with salt rheum. The man’s feet were swollen to an enormous size, and he had not worked for six weeks. Two bottles of Cuticurs Resolvent and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment worked a perfect cure. You never saw a more grateful man my our life. “ I am very much' interested in another case where I have recommended Cuticura just now. My housemaid's toother has a goitre which had reached a very dangerous point The doctors tola her that nothing could be done; that she could live only two or three weeks, and that she would die of strangulation. She was confined to her bed,

and was unable to speak, when her daughter, at my Suggestion, tried the effect of the Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent. Strange to say, she was very shortly relieved of the most distressing symptoms. The swelling seemed to be exteriorized, and she is now able to be around her house, and can talk as well as ever. < “ It seems to me that I have pretty good grounds for believing that Cuticura Remedies will prove successful in the most distressing forms of blood and skin humours, and if you wish to use my testimonial as herein indicated, I am willing that you should do so, with the further privilege of revealing my name and address to such persons as may wish to substantiate the above statements by personal letter to me.'* Chicago, Nov. 12, 1903. 1
