WESTERN CANADA HAS AN
EXCELLENT CLIMATE.
The Saskatchewan Valley Very High
lyFavored

An interesting feature of Western
Canada is it's climate. Those who
have made study of it speak highly
Of it. The Canadian Government
Agents are sending out an Atlas, and
at the same time giving valuable in
formation concerning railway rates,
etc, sto those interested in the country.
AS has been said, the climate is excel
lent. The elevation of this part Of
Canada is about 800 feet above the
sea, about twice that of the average for
Minnesota. It is a very desirable alti-
tude. The country has a very equable
climate, taking the seasons through.
The winters are bright and the sum-
mers are pleasantly warm. r. F. Stu
part, director Of the meteorological
service for Canada, says:
''The salient features of the climate
"of the Canadian northwest territories
"are a clear, bracing atmosphere dur
"ing the greater part Of the year, and
"a medium rainfall and snowfall. The
"mean temperature for July at Winni-
"peg is IS, and Prince Albert 50. The
former temperature is higher than at
"any part of England, and the latter
sis very similar to that found in many
parts Of the southern countries
At Prince Albert the average daily
maximum in July is rs and the mini
mum 4S. Owing to this high day tenn
perature with much sunshine, the crops
come to maturity quickly.
Moisture Is ample in the Saskatche-
wan valley, being about Is inches an
nually. It is notable that about Is per
cent. of the moisture falls during the
crop months. Thus. Western Canada
gets as much moisture when it is need
ed and with several hours more sun
shine daily than land further south
gets during the growing season, it is
not difficult to understand why crops
mature quickly and yield bountifully.
Winter ends quickly. sowing is done
during April and sometimes in March.
Harvest comes in August, about the
middle Cyclones, billiards., dust and
sand storms are unknown.

SHE soWED LIVER PILLS.
But It Is Not at All Likely That She
Waited for Them to
Take Root.

There lis a woman in Phoenix, Ariz.
vho has the correct oidea all right, but,
whether it will work out remains for the
future to disclose, states the Republican
of that town.
Recently her husband bought a small
ranch, and with himsshe &as been 8uch
interested i'm planning improvements, espe-
cially in the growing ft3e. with which to
-adorn the place.
The other day beds were prepered for
sweet peas and the lady of tie house was
busily engaged in asserting her seeds and
carrying the little packets out of doprss
where their contents were transferred to
the beds in regular order. As each variety
was planted, the name was placed on
small marker as is the custom with gar
in a Particularly choice ldcation the con.
tents of6a packet were labefisusly dropped,
enc bye one, until the row, was filled and
the earth nicely smoothed over it. When
the lady picked up the packet to properly
write the marker she discovered that she

In a letter dated January I, 1000, Mr..
Atkinson says, after five years expe-
rience with Perunai:
eel WiHeVerc0ntinUef to speak g good
word for Peruna. In my rounds as q
travelling man 4 am q walking adVer-
fiSenenf for Peruna and have induced
many people during the past year 10
use Peruna with f1e most satisfactory
results. Fam still cured of cafarrR. -
John O. Atkinson,
Box 2z2, independence, Mo.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic cataFrh is al
most universal in old people.
2 This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensa BILE to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these
cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally !;
nothing but an effective systemic rem
edy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use OF Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.

A Masticating Wooer.

'It is with faltering penmanships that
write to have communication with you
about the prospective condition of your
danisel offspring. For some remote time
past secret passion has firing in my
bosom internally with loving for your
daughter"
So begins the letter of a iove-stricken
Babu The writer continues: -
MY educational capabilities have aban-
doned me and here 1 now cling to those
lovely long tresses of your much coveted
daughter like a mariner shipwrecked on
the rock of love- As 10 my scholastic
caliber, I was recently rejected from the
Ransoon college. and I am now masticat
ing."-Penang Gazette.

TNDER date of January 10, 1897, DIR.
~ Hartman received the following
letter:
my wife had been suffering from a
complication of diseases for the past %
years.
ssHer ease had baffied the skill of some
of the most noted physicians. One of
her worst troubles was chronic consti-
patton of several years standing.
''She also was passing through that
most critical period in the life of a
woman-change of life. In June, 1895,
wrote to you about her case. You adj
vised a course of Peruna and Manalin,
which we at once commenced, and have
to say it completely cured her. She
firmly believes that she would have been
deadonly for these wonderful remedies,
'sAbout the same time wrote you
about my own case of c6tarrh, which
had been OF 25 years standing. Attimes
was almost past going. 1 commenced
touse Peruna according to your instruc-
tions and continued it's use for about a
year, and it has completely cured me.
stYour remedies do all that you claim
for them, and even more. Catarrh
cannot exist where Peruna IS taken
according to directions. Success to
you and your remedies. -
John o. Atkinson.

New Method of Identif,cation.

The police of London have introduced
experimentally new measuring system
for recognizing criminals. AS it has
been successful, it will soon be adopted
by number of other police departments
both in England and abroad. In this
system only the impressions Of the
fingers are taken. Compared with the
Bertillon system, it has, above all, the
advantage of simplicity. as 1t can be ap.
piled without any contrivances, and is
therefore, much less expensive.

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me, March 2l.-Mrs,
A. l.. Smith,. of this place, says that
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best remedy

her. recommendation by the following ex-
perience:
My. daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with. Crazy
Spells that would last week and would
then pass off. 3 In month she would have
the spells again. At these times she
would eat very little aad was very yellow,
even the whites of her eyes would be yell
dow.
::cThe doctors gave us no encouragement,
they all said they could not hep her
After taking one box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, she has not had one bad spell. OF
course, we continued the treatment un-
til she had used in all about dozen
boxes, and we still giee them to her oe-
easionally, when she is not feeling well.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice Of Mrs
Smith. for. by SO doing they may save
their daughters, much pam and sickness
and ensure a healthy happy future for
them.
