What Was 1t,

Friarpoint, Miss, Aug. 3rd.-One of
the strangest cases ever reported &C.
CURED here recently. The son of Mr..
G. L. Butler was very i'll. The doc
tor said he had some disease of the
spinal cord, and treated him for two
months. but he grew worse all the
time, and finally the doctor told Mr..
Butler that he did not know what
was the trouble.
The boy would wake up in the night
andsay that he was dying. He would
be nervous and trembling and want to
run out of the house, saying that he
saw ugly things which frightened him.
His father was very much discour-
aged till one day he saw new rem
edy called Dodd's Kidney Pills adver-
tised, and he at once bought some and
began to give them to his boy.
He used altogether eight boxes be-
tore he was entirely cured. He has
not been troubled since. Mr.. Butler
says:
II feel it my duty to tell what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
boy. All this remedy needs is a fair
chance and it will speak for ITSELF"

INVASION OF CANADA.

How Yankee Thought and Yankee
Spirit Is Creeping Across the 8or-
der.
Grant, o Lord" prayed Western
minister recently, that Canada may
come Of her own accord into the great
sisterhood of states; that no harsh
measures be needed In working out
the destiny Of this republic" In this
mans mind his prayer was also
prophecy. His was the pulpit vision
Of a theme Of politics that is looming
big and grave beyond the Mississippi.
yankee thought, Yankee spirit,
Yankee ways, will one day dominate
the great country across the border
on the north. The time is not far
away, and when it comes the Ameri-
can republic will reach from the Gulf
of Mexico to the Arctic regions"
This Is What thinking men Of the
West are Saying. The logic of cur
rent events leads strongly to that con-
clusion. Pioneer experience, human
nature, national necessity, the phys
lcal characteristics of the contilent-
all these may be invoked as argu-
ments. II it be a dream, its realiza-
ton is in the process this very day.
American farmers are migrating by
the tens of thousands across the bor-
der into Canada. The average citi-
zen OF this nation has not come to
understand the magnitude or meaning
of this movement of population. From
the states 10000 farmers flocked to
Northwest Canada in 1902 Judging
from this years rush there is reason
to believe that 100000 will go in 1908.
Iowa alone sent $4,000 last year. The
border states contributed literally.
Thirty-f1ve per cent of all the immi-
grants into Canada were from this
country. During the year ending
June 80, 1902, Americans homesteaded
$4,000 acres of agricultural lands in
the "granary'' of the British empire"

pass before it can flow to the basin or

turned into these electrodes, they be-
come so hot as to heat the water

shows a small heater for ordinary use,
