FILLING UP The CANADIAN WEST
The American Settler 10 Welcomed
to Canada.

A number of the leading newspa.
pers on this side of the line have been
noticing the growth Of the Caaadian
West in recent years, and draw atten-
ton to the fact that there seems to be
no abatement of the influx of settlers
to that great grain-growing country.
The Buffalo Express thus refers to the
subject:
Canada West continues to grow.
There were Alta homesteads entries
there in July Of this year, as against
1871 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 4,174 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 APP
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. The
1912 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
". In every way, they are welcome
over there
AS the Express well says, the
American is welcomed to Canada, and
the reasons given are sufficient to in
vitea the welcome. The American
farmer knows thoroughly the farming
conditions that prevail in the Cana
dian prairie provinces, and is aware
of every phase of agricultural devel-
opment in recent years.
In practical knowledge Of what Is

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 It, 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 diner
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 thu
soil. Hence the welcome to the fre'
homesteads OF the Canadian West
| and there are hundreds of thousands
of them left, that is extended to thu
| settler from the Western States.

UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS SAID.
In no Other Way Can Actions of Cat
Be Explained.

AS striking cat story as I have
heard in long time comes from Al
ton, N. M, and is youched for abso-
lutely, says writer in the Boston
Record. The cat was accustomed to
visit the next door neighbor after each
meal to be fed and petted, bringing
also two kittens.
One of the women at the house thus
visited, who had entertained dislike
for cats, finally, on observing the ami
NAL, expressed aloud liking for the
gray kitten and said she intended to
ask TO be allowed to keep it.
The next day when Mother Cat
came for her bits only one kitten ac-
companied her, but she took away
some choice morsels for the one left
at home. This continued several days
when the woman who had first ex
pressed intention to get the kitten
which the cat was feeding, remarked
that she had given up wholly the idea
of securing the gray kitten. All three
felines appeared at the next meal and
have done so since.

scheme Worked Out Badly.

Congressman Sulzer represents
densely populated district on the East
side of New York city. It occurred to
him some months ago that though
there are no gardens in his district
some of his constituents might grow
plants in boxes placed on window
stills or fire escapes, SO he sent an as
sortment of seed to the inmate of a
model tenement house owned by one
of his friends. The latter met him
a few days ago and said: See here.
Sulzer, want you to cut out that seed
business. It's the limit why,
what's the matter?' asked the aston
ished Sulzer, and he explained why he
had sent the seeds. 'Oh, you meant
well, all right" returned the friend,
scornfully, "but when I visited the
place the other day found that about
ten families were raising cabbage, GU.

One of the main schemes Of the
railway board is to have rolling stock
built up partly in India, which will
give manufacturing firms in this
country an opportunity for tenders for
the construction of wagon frames and
bodies. The experiment will also be
extended to state lines, tenders being
received up to Is per cent. part in
India, which will give the total num-
Der of wagons sanctioned for con-
struction yearly, while axles, wheels,
etc., will be obtained by each railway

Sympathy Not Needed.

DIR. Fridtjof hansen, 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 I'M
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 a few min
utes. after that it falls lower than
before.

NO MEDICINE.
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 long train
of ais result
Too much fat also is hard to digest,
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and a bloaty,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:
About five years ago suffered with
bad acknowledgements, Indigestion,
constipation-caused, know now,
from eating starchy and greasy food.
Il doctored for two years without
any benefit. The doctor told me there
was no cure for me. could not eat
anything without suffering severe
pain in my back and sides, and ! be-
came discouraged.
"a friend recommended Grape-Nuts
and I began to use it. In less than
two weeks began to feel better, and
inside of two months was well
woman and have been ever since.
Il can eat anything I wish with
pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts and
cream for breakfast, and are very
fond of it" Name given by Postum
