Four Simple
Rules
Follow Them and Health, Happi-
ness and Prosperity Will be
Yours


If one would be healthy, happy anc
prosperous, follow these four simple
rules. o. Keep the bowels open every
day (2) chew your food slowly and
thoroughly. (3 Avoid indigestible foods
a. If there are any symptoms of stomach
troubles. take Mi o.na before each meal
until cured.
No matter how many years you have
suffered with stomach troubles or how
worried by sleeplessness, nervousness,
loss of appetite, furred tongue, specks
before the eyes, headaches, weakness
and debility, Indigestion or other ills that
are caused by weak stomach, you can
be cured by the faithful use of Mona.
Take one of the little tablets before
each meal with the fixed determination
to get the most benefit out of it.
Mi-o-na is not fanciful experiment, it
is not patent medicine, it is not cure
all. 1t is a scientific remedy recon-
mended but for one trouble, weakness
of the digestive organs. 1t is a perma-
nent cure, and is sold by w. II. Sheldon
under a guarantee that it costs nothing
unless it does all that is claimed for it.
When Mona has been used for few
days, the digestive system will be so
greatly improved that all the food eaten
is converted into nutrition, so that
nourishment and health are given to the
whole system and there is a rapid in
crease in weight, strength and spirits.

THE CALL OF THE
CANADIAN WEST.
The Greatest Wheat Crop Of the
Continent.

TIE year that has just closed has
lone a great deal towards showing the
possibilities of Western Canada from
In agricultural standpoint. The wheat
irop has run very nea to the 100, 00O, 900
ushel limit that was looked upon as
100 sanguine an estimate only q short
lime ago, and the area that has been
broken to fall wheat for the coming
harvest will go q long way towards
enabling the farmers Of the West to
overlap IN the 100, 900, 900 bushel esti-
nate next year. And while the spring
and winter wheat have been doing SO
we'll during the past few years, the other
cereals have been keeping up with the
procession. Rye and barley have made
immense strides, and peas and fax have
been moving steadily along. Dairying,
also, has been successfully carried on
In the new provinces, and in every stage
the farmer has been striking it rich."
To such an extent has the success of
the West taken hold Of outsiders that
the rush Of Americans to Saskatchewan
and Alberta, which was looked upon. as
marvellous last year, bids fair to be
largely exceeded in 1906, and as there
are still millions of acres Of free home
steads available, which the building of
the new railways will render accessible
to the markets, new wheat lands will
be opened up ere long. Amongst the
drst to avail himself of the opportunity
presented will be the American settler.
In a large number of American cities
Dominion Government Agents are To-
Gated, who are able and willing to give
the latest and best information in re-
gard to the new districts which the rail-
ways will open up, and there will be no
abatement Of the rush to the Canadian
p~rairies during the coming season..
Some time since a poet in the columns
Of the Toronto "Star' had the follow
Ing stirring lines, which throb Of the
Western spirit:
There's a stir in the air, there's a thrill
through the land, there's a movement
toward the Great West;
And the eyes of all men for the moment are
turned to the country that we love
the best;
For tits Canada's day in the worlds call
endar, and to this merry toast let us
sup:
Here's to the land, the young giant Of tho
North, where the prairies are open
ing up!'
They come from the East and they como
from the South-they come DER the
deep rolling sea-
they come, for they know they will dwell
meath a flag that makes all men equal
and free.
Then, once more the toast, and let every
man rise, and cheer ere he sips from
the cup:
Here's to the land, the young giant Of the
North, where the prairies are open
ing up!"
