suuirreIs as WaIters.

1t has taken Fisk Goodyear OF
Burchtown, Pa, two years to train
his pet squirrels, but his efforts are
now reraid, and on Thanksgiving he
treated his friends to surprise.
Gathering half a hundred or more
gray squirrels, Mr.. Goodyear taught
them to go into the woods and pick
up nuts, carrying them to his home.
On Thanksgiving night at dinner
his guests noticed a small board run
ming from a window to a nut bowl.
The host gave one knock on the table
with his knife. A squirrel hoped
down the plank and dropped chest
nut into the bowl. Two raps brought
a squirrel with walnut, three knocks
a shellbark.
Finally, grave old squirrel teok
his place and cracked the nuts, wind
ing up the performance by brushing
off the crumbs with his thick bushy
tail.

The Evils of Constipation.

are many; in fact almost every Sc
rious illness has its origin in consti-
patton, and some medicines, instead of
preventing constipation, add to it.
This is true of most cathartics, which,
when first used, have a beneficial eff
feet, but the dose has to be contin-
ual1y increased. and before long the
remedy ceases to have the slightest
effect. There is one preparation, how
ever, that can be relied upon to pro-
duce the same results with-the same
do1e. even after fifty years daily
use, and this is Brandreth's Pills,
which has a record of over 100 years
as the standard remedy for coastipa-
ton and all troubles arising from an
impure state of the blood.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used, and are for sale everywheI ,,

ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN
CANADA.
Magnificent Crop Returns Sos the
Year 1906.

The manner in which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers in recent
years has caused many of our journals
and public men to sit up and take no
tice," TO use current phrase. From
every European country and from al
most every State in the Union large
number of settlers have f1ocked to the
prairie provinces of Canada, where
free homesteads and wide opportun-
tiles are open to al who desire to
avail themselves of them.
The greatest factor in attracting
settlers lies in the inherent richness
of soil and suitability of climate for
producing what is universally consid-
cred to be the finest wheat in the
worid-the mo. 1 Hard" of Canadian
groWth-and other cereals that rank
in the very first class. This year the
harvest returns were: Wheat, 3d.
GEO, 900 bushels; oats, 10000 900 bush
els; barley, 17:noo.oo0 bushels; and
when it IS considered that the entire
population of the three provinces-as
evidenced by the quinquennial census
Just completed-fs only $4,000, it is
easily seen that the lure of the Cana
tiaIities.
Another feature which attracts the
settler is that railway construction is
proceeding with such rapidity that al
most every district is within easy
reach OF outside markets, and that
good prices for all lines Of farm prod
ucts rule practically from the COM
mencement of agricultural operations.
This is a factor which did not prevail
when the earlier settlements in the
West were made in Canada and in the
United States, and has given a great
impetus to Canadian Western settle
ment in recent years.
The free grant system of home
steads which prevails in the prairie
provinces, by which every settler who
is able and willing to comply with the
conditions of actual settlement (by no
means onerous) is given 100 acres
free, except SO for entry, is a great
drawing card, and in the last fiscal
year gathered in over $4,000 addi-
tional TO the western population. of
which 57,7S6 were from the United
States.
The further fact, as IS strongly
brought about by the agent OF the
Canadian Government, whose address
appears elsewhere, that a splendid
common school system, practically
free, prevails throughout the entire
country, and is easy Of access in even
the most remote districts, is another
great inducement to the settler who
has the future welfare of his family
in mind, and this, coupled with the
fact that western Canadian law and
order are proverbial, completes
circle of good and sufficient reasons
why the tide of immigration has set
in so steadily toward the country to
the north of our boundary line.

TORTURED WITH ECZEMA.
Tremendous Itching Over Whole Beay
Scratched Until BIed-Wonder-
full Cure by Cuticura.

Last year suffered with a tremen-
dous itching on my back, which grew
worse and worse, until it spread over
the wAcle body, and only my face and
hands were free. For four months or
so suffered torments, and l had to
scratch. scratch, scratch. until bled:
At night when 1 went to bed things
got worse, and l had at times to get
up and scratch nay body all over, until
1 was as sore as could be, and until
suffered excruciating pains. They told
me that was suffering from eczema.
Then I made up my mind that I would
use the Cuticura Remedies. I used
them according to instructions, and
very soon indeed I was greatly re-
Eeved. I continued until well, and
now I am ready to recommend the Gu
ticura Remedies to any one. Mrs.
