"MY wIFE's PEOPLE COMING.
1--WE have had a splendid winter" in
Western Canada.


Canadas thrush this year is wonder
fully great and considerably ahead of
any previous year. 1t is always inter
esting to those who contemplate NOV
ing to read expressions of opinion
from those living in the country. 1t
is therefore our pleasure to reproduce
the following, written to an Agent of
the Government and forwarded to
the immigration Branch of the Depart
ment of the Interior at Ottawa:
Birch Hills, Sask., Canada, Feb. !, '05.
Dear Sir:-I take pleasure in drop
ping you a few lines to let you know
how we are getting along up here and
how we like the place. We have been
here close on to year now and think
the place is fine. We have been out
every day this winter working in the
bush getting out logs for buildings,
etc., getting rails for fencing. We
have not suffered with the cold as
much as we did in Chicago. My lit
tie boys are out every day with their
sleighs having a good time. The low
est the temperature has been this
winter is "a below, and 1t is very still,
no wind.
We had a splendid summer. We
put up about so tons of hay and will
have about 80 tons to sell. Hay
brings So per ton now and will be
higher in the spring We have 20
acres broke and ready for crop. We
worked on the Can Nor. Ry. for
awhile this summer and am just
miles from the r. r. and town site.
81 &c oil 1ni hi
miles of the river and we often see
the train bringing supplies for the
Bridge.
My wife's people are coming up
about May. l wish you would write
them and if there should be any one
coming to Prince Albert that could do
with a half a car let them know. The
homesteads are all taken up within
IL miles of us. 1 often think If this
land were only in the States what a
rush there would be. 1t is the rich
est land and most productive 1 ever
saw, and the climate is 0. K.
1 know that people back there that
l write to do not believe me when I
write them what splendid winter
we are having. They think we are all
inches of snow, and there are cattle
on the range that have not been
rounded up this winter Day after day
the Their. raises up to so and so, and
/ don't believe we have had a day
this winter that it stayed at zero.
MY wife says that We used to think
that zero was cold in Chicago. But
We. don't mind it one bit. Christmas
night we went out and drove . miles
with our little boys, it was 20 be-
low, and there was not a whimper
from any one Of them; I'd hate to do
it in old Chicago.
Well. l guess will close, and you
can tell any one in the q. S. that they
cannot do better than come to the
Prince Albert District. 1 remain,
Yours truly,
tSigned) j. D. Head.

VATICAN IS ANNOYED.
Victory Between the Archbishop and
the Auxiliary DispIeases.

Rome, April 15.-The Vatican au-
thorities are greatly annoyed about
the dispute between Mgr Chapelle,
archbishop Of New Orleans, and Mgr.
Frederick, formerly auxiliary bishop
of Havana, and their attempts TO
avoid the decision of the Vatican, TO
which they agreed when in Rome,
namely to abandon respectively the
delegation of the Antilles and the
auxiliary bishopic of Havana, now
that the decision is definitely con-
flrmed, and also the withdrawal from
Mgr. Broderick of the mission to urge
the collection of Peters pence. In
stead Mgr. Broderick will have an al
lowance of 500 monthly from his in
come at Havana. If he continues to
protest, it is added at the Vatican, his
titular bishopric of Giuliopolis will be
withdrawn

Suffering.

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrual
ton is q severe strain on q woman's
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to a serious de-
rangement of the whole female organ
ism.
More than fifty thousand women
have testified IN grateful letters to Mrs
Pinkham that Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound overcomeS pain
full and irregular menstruation.
1t provides a safe and sure way of es-
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con-
vincingly what Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie HOLMES of $40 N. Davi-
sion Street, Buffalo, N. Y, writes
Dear Ms Pirkham:-

EVERY ONE ASKS HINT
HOW BE GOT RID OF Els OBSTINATE
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
AIr. Jones Tells of the Way by which He
Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed.

Treated Himself successfully
When Doctors Failed
Six physicians, all of them good, one of
them a specialist, had done their best
for Mr. Jones at different times during
three years. and still he suffered fear
fully from the tortures of rheumatism.
The rheumatism that had been dor
mant IN his system was suddenly
brought to an acute stage by exposure
while he was drawing ice IN February,
1901 From that time on for a period
of more than three years he was q con-
slant sufferer He tried many kinds of
treatment. but the rheumatism wouldn't
bulge. When regular doctors failed,
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: II should think he
would give it up and save his money"
Of his condition at this time, Mr..
Jones says: "My rheumatism started
in my right thigh, but in time it APP
peared IN every muscle of my body. I
lost the use of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly lost the use of my
right one. My feet were badly affected,
especially the bottoms of the heels.
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem to be
involved at all. The trouble was all III
the muscles and the nerves.
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr.. Jones to think that cure might
yet be found was friend who had rea-
SOD for great confidence III DR.. Viii
liams' Pink Pills, and acting on her
advice he bought box of them in Sep
TENDER, 1904. The story of what fol-
lowed is brief, but nothing could be
more satisfactory.
When was on the third box says
Mr.. Jones, g could realize change for
the better. 1 felt sure then that DR..
Williams Pink Pills were the right
medicine for my case. kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now
/ am entirely we'll, and everybody is
asking what 1 took"
Mr.. William Jones lives at Oxford,
Mich. DIR. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly on the blood which is
the seat of the disease. They are sold
by every druggist.

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full

Starches are put up in q pound pack
ages. and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
a 1907. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.

Effsrt to Quiet the Peasants May Make
Them worse.
CREATES SPECIAL COMMISSION.
The Creation of This New Commits
sion Sounded the KneII of the Ole
Witte Commission, Which Is simu'
taneousIy Abolished.

st. Petersburg, April 1.-THE i'm
perial rescript addressed to the Min
lister of Interior Bouligan, creating
a special commission under his presi-
dency to discuss conditions under
peasants tenure of lands, touched
on the grave perils involved in the
spreading peasant agitation, which
threatens not only the big estates but
the imperial domains. The instruc-
tons in the rescript TO work out
system clearly marking off peasant
land from the land of other owners.
in order to inculcate in the people
a perception of property ownership,
amounts to an Imperial refutation of
the stories current among the peas
ants that the emperor had decreed
new division of the land. 1t is fear
ed, however, it may have exactly the
contrary effect 10 the one desired
among the ignorant peasantry, and
that shrewd agitators will be able
TO employ the rescript bearing up
on the general subject of the increase
of peasant lands as being a confrma-
ton instead of a denial of the re
ports that the agitators had previous,
ly circulated about the emperor's in
tention to re-district the land. Two
methods of relief are proposed by the
rescript-the purchase of additional
land by the aid of a peasants bank
and the colonization of Siberia.
The creation of the new commits
sion sounded the knell of the old
White commission, which is stimuli
taneOusly abolished. NJ. Whites com
mission, which was of much broad
er character covering all questions
relating to peasant administration,
created a tremendous stir two years
ago, being the signal for much of
the outspoken criticism of the pres
ent regime on the part of the emst-
vos. An immense amount of ma
terial was collected by the commits
sion, but its work became so confus-
ed and accomplished so little that it's
passing away has aroused no regret.
But the supplanting of one commits
sion by another serves to emphasize
the criticism of the liberals in re-
gard to the futility of reforms con-
Quoted by bureaucratic commissions
The government claims, however
that as the work of the new commits
sion is being restricted solely to the
question of devising means for sup
plying the peasants with additional
land it should speedily accomplish
something. Nevertheless, in quar-
tiers familiar with the situation among
the peasants, serious doubts are ex-
pressed as to whether the reScript
will have an appreciable effect in al
laying the Agrarian agitation.

THE SECRET OUT.
The Door Stands Wide Open.

To refute the many false and malici-
Gus attacks, bogus formulas and other
untruthful statements published concern
ing Doctor Pierce's World-famed Family
Medicines the Doctor has decided to pub
lish all the ingredients entering into his
SFavorite Prescription" for women and
his equally popular tonic Alternative
known as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Hereafter every bottle of
these medicines leaving the great Labor
atOry at Buffalo, n. Y, Will bear upon it
a full list OF all the ingredients entering
into the compound. Both are made en-
tirely from native roots, barks and herbs.
The ingredients OF the UGolden Med
ical Discovery" being Golden Seal root,
Queens root, Black cherry bark, Man
drake root, Bloodroot.
Why is it so many have been strength
cned and benefited by the tonic effect of
DIR. PierCe's Golden Medical Discovery
It Is because at this time of the year
people feel rundown, nerveless, sleepless
and worn out POiSOnS have accumu-
lated in their body during the long win
ter. Their blood stores up a lot of waste
product which poisons the system. That
Is why in the spring and early summer a
tonic is almost a necessity. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery being made of
medicinal plants, is next to nature and
the best tonic you can use. For the same
reason that vegetables and greens are
good Tor the system at this time OF the
year, SO is il true that tonic made up
entirely of medicinal plants, without the
use Of alcohol, is the proper medicine TO
take at this time. 1t fills the blood with
rich, red blood corpuscles. 1t gives you
feeling OF strength, and it puts sunshine
into your system as no other remedy can.
That is why DIR. Piercc's Golden Medical
Discovery has been such faYorite for
the past forty years. He is not afraid to
open his laboratory 70 the public, and he
invites every one to visit his InvalidS'

A CURIOUS FAMILY TREE.
II Represents an Oak and Is Made of
Fourteen-karat Gold.

FOurteen-Karat Gold.
A novel product of the goldsmiths
art takes the form of a genealogical
tree. The tree, which stands about
fifteen inches high, and is fourteen
karat gold. is an oak with spreading
branches and full foliage. On the sub
stantial and somewhat gnarled trunk,
says the jewelers. Circular, is a small
plate with an inscription indicating
that James K. and Marguerite H. Og-
den were married in 1912 in Phila-
delphia, Pa. Another plate indicates
that fifty years later, when the couple
celebrated the golden anniversary of
their marriage. this tree was present
ed by their affectionate relatives and
friends.
A number of acorns scattered
among the twigs bear the names of
various members of the Ogden family
who were of this world at the date of
the presentation On the silver base
now black with age are six acorns
inscribed with names of members of
the family who have departed this
life. The idea was that when a mem
Der of the family died his acorn
should be cut off the tree and buried
in the base
1t is understood that the original
cost of this tree which was made in
Philadelphia was $500.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to
anemic nerve centers. The nerve
centers are the reservoirs of nervous
vitality. These centers become blood
less for want of proper nutrition.
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring host of invalids
are produced as the direct result of
weak nerves.

This can be easily obviated by using
Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root of
the difficulty by correcting the diges-
ton.
Digestion furnishes nutrition for the
nerve centers. Properly digested food
furnishes these reservoirs of life with
vitality which leads to strong, steady
nerves and thus nourishes life.
Peruna is in great favor among
women, especially those who have voca-
tions that are trying TO the nerves.
