you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerves and gen.
e~rative organs in woman is SO close
that ninc-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits Of depression or r~estlessness and
irritability /; spirits easily affected, So
hat one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps; pain in the abdominal
region and between the shoulders;
loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia; a
tendency to cry at the least provoca-
ton all these point to nervous pros
tration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering so surely as Lydia
Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. NJ. E. Shotwell, of 1O3 Flatbusb
Avenue, BROOKLYN, N. Y, writes:
81 cannot express the wonderful relief I
have experienced by taking Lydia E Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. I suffered for
a long time with nervous prostration, back
ache, headache, loss of appetite. / could
not sleep and would walk the floor almost
every night.
az had three doctors and got no better, and
life was a burden. l was advised to try
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and it has worked wonders for me.
! 81 am o well woman, my nervousness is all
gone and my friends say ! look ten years
younger"
Will not the volumes of letters from
women made strong by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound convince
all women of it's virtues? Surely you
cannot wish to remain sick, weak
and discouraged, exhausted each day,
when you can be as easily cured as
other women.

WESTERN cANADA'S
MARVELLOUS RETURNS.

The increase In the crop returns Of
the Canadian West, In the past seven
years, has approached the marvellous,
and there is no reason to believe that
q corresponding increase will not re-

crease has been particularly noticeable
In what was formerly known as the
Northwest Territories, but which, on
September I, 1905, became the prov
inces Of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
From the official returns we find the
following results in the acreage sown
to wheat, oats and barley in the years
mentioned, and a more favorable show

II will not wait while boys practice
speeches. This is not what was prom.
Used me-" Kissed the S%paniard.
What Red Clary promised you," re.
turned Lincoln, was that IL you would
cancel his gambling debts to yourself
he would make me hand over the girls
money"
Clary was off his horse and at his &C.
cuser In a moment, and Lincoln real.
lied that he must fight it out. He
was standing on a slight elevation
where he had stepped the better to ad.
dress the crowd, and as Clary came
at him he caught the bull-bodied cham.
pion by the collar and flung him across
the ring.
1t was a fight to a finish now, and
Lincoln, realizing that words would
be useless should he lose in this con.
test Of force. went at it to best his ad.
versary in the only court that ad.
versary would recognize. It was a
fierce contest for a few minutes, and
then Lincoln caught Clary with a
singing blow beneath the chin and
tumbled him to the ground, where he
lay with the wind we'll knocked out OF
him. Standing v e Clary's body Lin.
coin made IN impassioned speech ia
the others Of the rowdy gang for jus
tice for his little Spanish client. He
told her history; he told who Don
Pedro Lorimer was; he appealed t1
the best that was in them; to their
love for their sisters, and he won, and
Don Pedro Lorimer knew that he had
won, and squirting his horse forward
he attempted to ride the young orator
down. and to grab the snakeskin
which Lincoln had passed to Yates al
the beginning Of the fight. AS he did
so Antywine, aroused from a stupor
darted from the cabin and, grabbing
the bits, brought the horse to its
launches. Before the astonished rider
could recover Lincoln asked with
whimsical significance:
Boys, how would any of you like
to get up out of chill-and-fever and
find all Clary's Grove helping a stran
ger rob you Of your own dear gal?"
The question had the desired eff
feet. Down the village street went
Don Pedro Lorimer, and after him
went the crowd from Clary's Grove
They caught him at the banks Of the
Sangamon, and rolled him into the
river in a barrel. Wiser counsel alone
prevented his being allowed to drown
but he never again appeared in the
vicinity Of New Salem to modest thu
bride Of Antywine, and Lincoln and
Yates had tried their first case to
gether and had won.

WINTER WEAKNESS,
Or. Williams Pink Pills the Tonic
That Most People Need for
Blood and Nerves.

In winter the air Of the close rooms in
which we spend 50 much of the time
does not furnish enough oxygen to the
lungs to burn out the foul matter in the
blood. In the cold season we do not lei
else as much and the skin and kidneys do
not throw off the waste matter as freely
as usual. The system becomes overloaded
with poisonous matter, and too feeble
to throw it off. Relief cal be had only
through the use Of q remedy that will
promptly and thoroughly purify and
strengthen the blood, and the one best
adapted for this purpose is the great
blood tonic known as DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.

wIsPs OF WIT.

Nobody should look anxious except
those who have anxiety.
A man may be what he thinks he 10
and still not what he claims to be.
What we call the heart is a nervous
sensation. like shyness, which gradu-
ally disappears in society.

right line to take when you wish to con-
ceal your own mind and to confuse that

1t will be seen that the number Of
acres sown to wheat. oats and barley
in 1898 was 429, TAO, and that this had
increased in 1904 to 1875 The
total crop in the cereals mentioned was
9,033, 297 bushels in 1898, and in 1904
It had grown to the magnificent total

case where 1t has been demonstrated
that Alberta Red" winter wheat may

The yield has been uniformly good
every year except 1900, when there ap-
pears to have been a slump all along
the line. This, however, was more
than compensated for in the following
year, when the bumper crop in wheat,
oats and barley put the returns of all
previous years completely in the shade
and gave an impetus to settlement In
the west which has prevailed to the
present, as the following table by BUSH
