THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS

ern Canada, few days since. He
was the advance guard of large
body who are following him, and he
has already invested in several farm
ing sections for himself and others
and purposes to take up his perma-
nent abode in this country. He went
on to say: Hundreds are coming
from my district alone. 1 know this
to be fact, for. many of them are
neighbors of mine. The chief topic
of conversation with the farmers is
the coming immigration in the
SPRING"
"The impression general in the
part of Dakota where I live that
farmers can get from 10 to Is cents
more bushel for wheat on the
American side of the line than on
the Canadian, has not prevented peo-
pie from turning their eyes to Can
ada as place to live in. They know
they can get land in this country
which is every bit as fertile as that
in Dakota at about one-quarter the
price. It is safe to say that the
exodus from Dakota into Canada this
year will exceed the expectations of
all Canadians"

NECESSARY EVILS.

We sometimes think that tolls curse
We long for lots of treasure,
And yet conditions might be worse
Is gilded ease a pleasure?
think at times we all would shirk,
But while we're hale and stout 1t
Is not so bad a thing to work
What should we do without it?
And money-that's just shining dross,
The root of sin and sorrow,
Too eagerly we mourn its loss,
To gain, STEAL. beg and borrow.
It's sordid, wretched, worthless trash.
There's little room to doubt it,
Still, it is good to have some cash
What should we do without it?
And love is cause of ills untold:
1t makes US lots of trouble,
In some respects it's worse than gold
An iridescent bubble.
And still it raises us above
Our baser selves. To scout 1t
Is foolish, so We'll cling to love
What should we do without it?

A CONSTANTLY increasing number
~ of physicians prescribe Peruna in
their regular practice. 1t has
proven its merits so thoroughly that
even the doctors have overcome their
prejudice against so called patent medi-
cines and recommend it to their patients.
Peruna occupies . unique position in
medical science. 1t is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession today. Catarrh, as
every one will admit, is the cause of one
half the diseases which afflict mankind.
Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afflict
one-half of the people OF United States.

PIG THAT KEEPS CLEAN:
Rarticular sPOrker Won't Eat lite
Breakfast Untll Its Face Has
Been Washed.

Mr.. Samuel Marker, of Loamsdale,
ILL.,, claims to have the most remark
able pig in the country. 1t is the gen.
eral impression that a pig is not re-
markably careful about his personal
appearance. In fact, "dirtier than .
pig" is time-honored aphorism.
But Mr.. Markers pig is different, re-
ports the Chicago Tribune. Mr.. Marker
says that every morning his pet pig.
which he has named "Beau By ummel"
because of its tidy habits, will squeal
until some one goes toit with sponge
and gives it a careful wash. Beau
Brummel will even refuse to touch his
morning meal, no matter how hungry
he is, until he has had his matutinal
bath.
Mr.. Marker took the pig away from
the rest of it's kind when it was only
few days old and had it brought up on
a bottle in a respectable Gordon-collie
family. The mamma collie, after few
days of elaboration, adopted the pig
as member of her family, and has
worked earnestly to make it good,
obedient collie. Her efforts in this di-
rection have not been entirely success
full, but at least, with Mr.. Markers as
sistance, she has helped materially in
reforming some of Beau Brummels in
herited attributes Beau Brummel re-
fuses to wallow, like common pigs do,
in a nasty puddle of water. He does
not put both front feet into the
trough and gulp up his food after the
usual manner CT his kind.
Beau Brummel has raced around
with the dogs until he has learned
many of their ways, and he is about as
good at driving cows as any of the COL
lies. Mr.: Marker often sends Beau
down to the pasture at night to drive up
the Marker family bessie, and he says
Beau will scamper away to the mead
low, pick the Marker cow out of herd
Of ~ or IS cows and drive the animal
home as we'll as any of the collies can
do it. If the COW tries to 60 the wrong
way, Beau rushes in front of her,
squealing like a steam siren, and the
bessie in dismay turns about and goes
in the right direction. If squealing has
no effect on the COW, then Beau flies at
her and bites her ankles until the COW
finally strrenders and consents to go
peaceably home. Mr.. Marker says that
the GROWING sorrow of Beau's other
wise happy existence lies in the fact
that he cannot bark as the colies can.
He used to make frantic efforts in this
direction, and always appeared mex
pressibly shocked and grieved that his
best attempts only resulted in dismal
squeals.
Finally he accepted the situation
philosophically and is now more con-
tented with his lot. Too much so, in
fact, for of late he has fallen into the
dog habit of baying at the moon, only
Beau's bays are series Of remarkable
squeals that are calculated to drive all
thought of sleep far from the minds of
all the ,neighbors who live in the vicin-
ity of the Marker homestead.

ENGLAND'S DEPENDENCE.
Other Countries Counted Upon for
Much OF Great Brttain's
Grain Supply.

The monthly crop report OF the de-
partment of agriculture contains
long article relative to the depen-
dence of Great Britain on other coun-
tries for her grain supply. 1t is stat
ed, says Washington exchange, that
the extreme dependence of the United
Kingdom on supplies of this kind
from over sea, long a cause for more
or less disquietude, is now becoming
the subject of serious agitation,
which has for its object q material
lessening of the risk that i'm case of
war with strong naval power the
supply of food might be inadequate
to the needs of the people. It is
stated further:
For the five years from 1928 to
1s56-57, which include the period of
the Crimean war, the imports of
which, including flour reduced to its
tie less than 26H per cent. of the to-
tai wheat supply of the Kingdom
available for consumption. During
the five years from 1s96-97 to 10000
the foreign part of the wheat supply,
-four being included as before, con-
stituted 75.5 per cent, or over three
fourths of the whole. Speaking
broadly, it may be said that during
the earlier five-year period Greet
Britain produced nearly three-fourths
while during the latter one she pro-
duced not quite one-fourth of the
wheat that she required for food.
With q population averaging during
the earlier of these periods consider
ably less than 2S,0OO,OOO, she had up
wards of 1900, 900 acres under wheat;
whereas during the later ore, with a
population considerably exceeding
10000 900, her wheat area had shrunk
to an average of less than 100000
acres, the exact figures being 1857.
SOS acres.
"The sense of insecurity produced
by this condition of things was nc
doubt greatly quickened by the South
African war and by the danger that
was felt to exist of becoming in
volved with more formidable adver
saries than the Beers before that
war should be over. 1t IS. at am
rate, certain that of late the feeling
has gained very rapidly both il
strength and in width of diffusion"

Peruna is able to cure catarrh wher-
ever it may be located by its direct
action upon the mucous membranes.
Catarrh means inf1amed mucous mem
branes. Peruna acts at once to cleanse
and invigorate the catarrhal condition
of the mucous membrane no matter
where it may occur in the body. Its
action is the same on the mucouslinipg
of the nose as on the mucous lining OF
the bowels. It cures the catarrhal in
fammation wherever it may occur.
DR.. R. Robbins, Muskogee, I. T.,
writes:
"Pcruna is the best medicine I know
of for cough and to strengthen a weak
stomach and to give appetite. Beside
prescribing it for catarrh, 1have ordered
it for weak and debilitated people, and
have not had patient but said it helped
him. It is an excellent medicine and
it fits so many cases.
IL have large practice, and have
chance to prescribe your Pcruna: 1
hope you may live long to do good to
the sick and suffering"
We saw Peruna cures catarrh. The
people say Peruna cures catarrh. Promi-
nent men and women all over the
United States from Maine to California
do not hesitate to come out in public
print to say that Peruna is what it is
recommended to be, an internal, sys-
temic catarrh remedy that cures catarrh
wherever it may be located.
Dr.. N. c. Gees Experience.
DR.. M. G. Gee is one of the physicians
who endorse Peruna. In a letter written
from 513 Jones street, San Francisco,
CAL, he says:
"There IS q general objection on tho
part of the practicjng physician to I'd.
v0cafe patent medicines. But when
any ono medicine cures hundreds of
people, II demonstrates its own value
and does not need the endorsement OF
the profession.

Women are especially liable TO pelvic

monty called. Especially in the first
few weeks of warm weather do the dis

cold weather chronic sufferers with pei
viceatrrrh dcnot feel so persistently tho
facilitating effects of the drain upon
the system, but at the approach Of
summer with its lassitude and tired
feelings, the sufferer with pelvic catarrh
feels the need of a strengthening tonic:
Peruna is not only the best spring
tonic for such cases but if persisted in
will effect complete cure. Write for q
