Sympathy Not Needed.

DR.. Fridtjof Nansen, Norway's IA
nous arctic explorer, now minister
to Gerat Britain, makes light Of the
sympathy expressed by many persons
anent the "hardships" of travellers. He
says; There never was such mis-
placed sympathy as commiserating a
man who has lived in the wilds. Most
men who travel in out-of-the-way parts
of the world do so because they like
it. People who live in the center OF
what is called civilization do not un-
derstand, cannot realize, the spell that
getting close to nature, battling with
nature, has on the heart" He does
not believe in the use of alcoholic bev'
erages, holding that while liquor will
raise the temperature for few min
utes, after that 1t falls lower than
before.

riLLlNs UP THE CANADIAN WEST.
The American settler 10 Welcomed
to Canada.

A number OF the leading ncwspa-
pers on this side OF the line have been
noticing the growth OF the Canadian
West In recent years, and draw atten-
tion to the fact that there seems TO be
no abatement of the influx of settlers
to that great grain-growlng country.
The Buffalo Express thus refers to the
subject:
Canada West continues to grow.
There were 4.174 homesteads entries
there in July Of this year, as against
3,571 in July, 1905. Canada plumes
herself over this fact, with becoming
pride. But what appears to make our
neighbors happiest is the statement
that OF these AHA homesteaders,
1912 were from this side of the line.
Little is said about the 81 Canadians
who recrossed the border to take up
homes in Canada West, or OF the sos
from Great Britain, or of the 1926
from non.British countries. 1t ap-
pears that the item In this July report
that makes Canada rejoice most is
this of the 1912 American farmers
who decided to try their fortunes in
Canada West.
"The compliment is deserved. Tho
1,2l2 were mostly from Dakota and
other farming states. and go into
Canada fitted better than any other
class of immigrants for developing the
new country. They take capital with
them. too. say Canadian papers proud
ly. In every way, they are welcome
over there"
AS the Express we'll says, the
American Is welcomed to Canada, and
the reasons given are sufficient to in
vite the welcome. The American
farmer knows thoroughly the farming
conditions that prevail in the Cana
dian prairie provinces. aad is aware
OF every phase of agricultural devel-
opment in recent years.
In practical knowledge Of what Is
wanted to get the largest return for
labor and investment he is by long
odds superior to any European set
tier. He knews what Is required to
bring success and he Is able and will
ing to do 1t, and his future causes nc
apprehension to the successful Cana
dian farmer. The agent OF the Cana
dian Government, whose address ap
pears elsewhere, says that the differ
ence between the manners and Gus
toms of the farmer from Dakota, Ore
gon or Minnesota and the farmer from
Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta
is not nearly so marked as that be
tween the farmer of the Maritime
provinces and the Ontario tiller of the
soil Hence the welcome to the fret
homesteads OF the Canadian West
and there are hundreds of thousands
of them left, that is extended to th'
settler from the Western States.

But Change of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the aliment-
AIRY canal-stomach and bowels.
a great deal OF our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating TOO
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food We eat-white bread
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these
things are digested in the small intes-
tines, and If we eat too much, as most
of us do the organs that should di-
gest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and a long train
OF ais result
Too much fat also Is hard to digest,
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and bloaty,

In these conditions a change from
| lndigestble foods to Grape-Nuts will

Toa on the Down Grade.

Tea drinkers are finding scant en-
couragement in report recently
made by a large tea exporting house
in Yokohama to its American Gus
toners. incidentally it indicates that
the United States is not alone in fac.
ing increased cost of living The re-
port says: owing to the rapidly in
creasing cost of living in Japan labor
costs more, and in consequence cul-
tivation of the tea gardens is less
generous and extensive than formerly
and less care and skill are expended
in picking and curing the leaf. Hence
the average quality of the teas now
offered for sale is below that of sea
sons prior to the war, and for the
same reasons we are not likely in the
future to see any reversion to the

The fisheries trust is the latest

of course it is protected by the tariff,

cup to the lips of the consumers the
combine declares that the fishermen
are to get steadier and better prices

distribution which have battered our
hopes with every trust prospectus, but

so with the fish trust, and the poor

can be entirely overcome by using De-
