no one can see where this lead is secreted
until the springs of the case are taken out
and the lead will be found secreted behind
them.
THESE cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest but furnish the means
TO the dishonest to rob the public. 1t is

Another trick the makers of spurious

not stamp any article made out Of gold

Farmers Review, Chicago, July %,
I. 1909 g..
Most of the prairies in the United
States have ceased to exist Man has
broken them up with orchards, for
ests and farm buildings But in West
ern Canada the prairies still stretch
grandly from horizon to horizon as yet
unmarried by the hand of man. save
where the iron road has been laid. To
a city man there is something deli
ciously restful about the vast grassy
sOlitudes.
Numerous clumps of trees mark the
keeps in sight of the railroad for some
distance.
Grass is one of the notable things
about all the landscape of Western
Canada. 1t is a remarkable fact that
the entire length of the Canadian Pa
cific Railway from its eastern termi-
nus to the Rocky Mountains is over
plains where grass grows. The sage
brush appears at some points. but
never to the exclusion of grass There
is thus not a mile of this country that
cannot be used for some agricultural
purpose-either for tilling or ranch
ing
Moose Jaw is a town OF over 1000
inhabitants and one of the most i'm
portant places in Assiniboia, being the
center of a very good farming country
and a great grain and stock shipping
point
Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranching go hand in hand; for near
the town was seen herd of beef cat
tie several hundred in number. On
another side was seen a good sized
herd of dairy cows, tn property of
the citizens in the town.
I'm riding over the prairies we saw
many good fields of alfalfa. The great
need of the country is timber, which
grows readily where planted, as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts on
some of the farms and the trees on
the residence lots i'm the town.
Stories were tod the writer of men
who last year cleared from their wheat
crop more than the land on which it
was grown originally cost them. This
is easy to believe in view of the large
crop and high price for wheat last
year."-Henry f. Thurston.

frai Ohio comes the following recon-
mend from the Sister Superior:
Why Kitty Is "Puss."

A great many years ago the people
of Egypt, who had many idols, wor.
shipped the cat among others. They
thought she was like the moon, be-
cause she was more active at night
and because her eyes changed like
the moon. So they made an lido
with cats head and named it Pasht
The same name they gave to the
moon, for the word means the face
of the moon" The word has been
changed to PAS" and "Pus" and has
come at last to be "Puss," the name
the most of us give to the cat.--Bos-

BITTERs OF LITTLE VALUE.
Only in Exceptional Cases are They
Beneficial to the Stomach.


London Lancet-What is the logic
of the bitter appetizers that are COM
monty taken Just before the heavy
meals of the day, both in this coun-
try and abroad? The object is APP
parently to stimulate the secretion of
gastric juice, but it has been suggested
that it would be more physiological
to make use of a small quantity of
alkali instead, as that is known to
exercise a favorable influence upon
peptic secretion. IA e. ,.......
The chief objections to, the use of
bitters have been based on researches
by Tchelzov, who found that the ad-
ministration of large dcses of quas-
STA hindered rather than helped the
digestive process.
1t is concluded, therefore, that these
have the rover of render
ing gustatory sensations more acute
and of exercising a temporary stimu-
liant effect upon gastric secretions;
for this purpose they should be given
Immediately before the meal in small
doses and in the form CT tincture (ten
to twenty drops) rather than cachets
or pills. We may remark upon this
that the habit is obviously susceptible
of abuse, particularly when, as is
of abuse, particularly when, as is
usually the case, some strong alcoholic
liquor is used as the vehicle of the
bitter. AS matter of fact, such q
stimulant action is the real function
which is intended to be subserved by
the soup which is taken at the begin
ming of a meal. There is. a tendency
to consume this in somewhat. large
quantity; in such cases 1t tends to b.
harmful rather than conducive to di
gestion but there can be no doubt, OF
the other hand, that the use of ;
: Tablespoonful or two of a hot ant
sapid fluid at the beginning of mea
is an excellent means of giving tbt
stomach fair start in the performance
Of its functions.
