Woman Found the Food That Fitted
Her.
A newspaper woman went out to a
Colorado ranch to rest and recuperate
and her experience with the food
probably is worth recountinG.
1.-THE woman at the ranch was pre-
eminently the worst housekeeper
have ever known-poor soul, and poor
mel
Il simply had to have food good
and plenty of it, for l had broken
down from overwork and was SO weak
1 could not sit up over one hour at a
time. l knew I could not get well IN
less / secured food could easily di-
gest and that would supply the great
est amount of nourishment.
Zone day I obtained permission to
go through the pantry and see what
could find. Among other things
came across a package of Grape-Nuts
which had heard of but never tried.
read the description on the package
and become deeply interested, so then
and there l got a saucer and some
cream and tried the famous food.
1T tasted delicious to me and
seemed to freshen and strengthen me
greatly so stipulated that Grape
Nuts and cream be provided each day
instead of other food, and / literally
lived on Grape-Nuts and cream for
two or three months.
IF you could have seen how fast 1
got we'll it would have pleased and
surprised you / am now perfectly
well and strong again and know ex-
actly how l got well and that was on
Grape-Nuts that furnished me a pow
erful food could digest and make use
OF.

can AFFORD to- overlook Grape-Nuts

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new
things of everyday use in the market
and who is reasonably satisfied with
the old, we would suggest that a trial
of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once Not alone because it
is guaranteed by the manufacturers
to be superior to any other brand,
but because each 10c package CON
tains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds
contain but II ozs. It is safe to say
that the lady who once uses Defiance

WESTERN cANADA's RElcuRcEs.
EarmInu verx suceessfuI.

BY Western or Northwest Canada is
usually meant the great agricultural
country west of Ontario, and north of
Minnesota, North Dakota. and Mon
tana. Part of it is agricultural prairie,
treeless in places, park like in others,
part is genuine plains, well adapted to
cattle ranches; part requires irriga-
ton for successful tillage. most OF it
does not. The political divisions of
this region are the Province of Mani
toba and the territorial district of AS
siniboia, Saskatchewan, Alberta and
Athabaska. At present, however, the
latter is too remote for immediate
practical purposes.
The general character of the soil OF
Western Canada is a rich black, clay
loan with a clay subsoil. Such a soil
is particularly rich in food for the
wheat plant. The subsoil is a clay,
which retains the winter frost until it
is thawed out by the warm rays of
the sun and drawn upward to stimu-
late the growth of the young wheat, so
that even in dry seasons wheat is a
good crop. The clay soil also retains
the heat of the sun later in the sum-
mer and assists in the early ripening
of the grain. 1t is claimed that cul-
tivation has the effect of increasing
| the temperature of the soil several
degrees, as well as the air above it.
Western Canada climate is good
cold in winter, hot in summer, but
! with cool nights. Violent storms of
any kind are rare. The rainfall is not
| heavy. 1t varies with places but aver
ages about II inches. 1t falls usually
at the time the growing crops need it,
The Department of the Interior, OF
/ tawa, Canada, has agents established
at different points throughout the
| United States who will be pleased to
| forward an Atlas of Western Canada
and give such other information as to
railway rate, etc, as may be required.
That agriculture in Western Canada
pays is shown by the number of testi-
monials given by farmers. The fol-
! lowing is an extract made from a let
ter from farmer near Moose Jaw:
AT the present time I own sixteen
hundred acres of land, fifty horses and
! large pasture fenced containing a
thousand acres. These hoI ses run out
| all winter and come in in the spring
quite fat. A man with money Judi
ciously expended Will make a compe-
tence very shortly. I consider in the
last six years the increase in the
value Of my land has netted me forty
thousand dollars"

He has made chronic catarrh a lifelong

Peruna, is the most famous remedy for

There is always an opening in the

corporations want young men of this
caliber, and are willing to pay for such
talent.
"In my opinion the professions-the
law, medicine and like vocations are
being crowded and many young men
with brains, who would make rapid adj
vancements in the commercial world,
fear, are making a mistake by not TAX
ing advantage of the opportunities Of
fered them"
This sentiment was expressed yes
terday by Mr.. Henry w. Miller, as
sistant first vice president of the South
ern Railway, who is himself man
under IS. Mr.. Miller began his career
in 1885 as a page in the North Car
DINA Legislature, and later accepted a
position as a night billing clerk in a
freight office. He rose rapidly until he
reached the position of private secre-
tary to Col. A. B. Andrews. first vice
president of the Southern, and was
three years ago made assistant first
vice president.
