The Spring Wheat Areas Rapidly
Increasing.
1t is only a few short years since
the impression prevailed that large
portion Of the Canadian West was
untitled for agriculture To such an
extent did this impression prevail that
districts larger than European princi-
palities were devoted solely to ranch
ing purposes, and focks and herds
roamed the ranges. But the agricul-
turist was doing some hard thinking,
and gradully experiments were
made, slowly at first but surely later
on. AS result, to-day In Southern
Alberta, which was looked upon az
the "arid belt" large quantities Of the
finest wheat in the world are now
grown, and SO satisfied are the farm
ers and buyers that the industry has
passed the experimental stage that
elevators by the score have been erect
ed in the past two years and others
are in course Of erection, to satisfy
the demands that will be made upon
them in the near future.
Manitoba mo 1 Hard" spring
wheat has achieved a worldwide rep
utation, and there can be no question
that ere long mo. 1 Hard winter
wheat from Alberta will attain simi-
lar repute The great market for this
production will undoubtedly be the
Orient, and, with increased railway
facilities and the erection Of addition
al elevators and Touring mills, large
ly increased acreage will be broken
to winter wheat. The increase of pep
ulation in Southern Alberta in the past
year has been largely due to settlers
from the United States, who have
brought in capital, and enterprise, and
who have been uniformly successful
in their undertakings. A few more
such years of growth and Turkey
Red winter wheat will wave from
Moose Jaw to the foothills. Informa-
ton regarding lands Of the Fall and
Spring wheat belts can be obtained Of
any Canadian Government agent

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO
SUFFER
From Constipation, Bowel and
Stomach Trouble.

Q. What is the beginning of sickness?
| A. Constipation.
Q. What is Constipation?
| A. Failure of the bowels to carry off
| the waste matter which lies in the ali
| mentary canal, where it decays and poi
cons the entire system. Eventually the
results are death under the name of
some other disease. Note the deaths
| from typhoid fever and appendicitis,
| stomach and bowel trouble at the pres
| ent time.
0. What causes Constipation?
A. Neglect to respond to the call of
| nature promptly. Lack of exercise. Ex-
cessive brain work. Mental emotion and
| improper diet.
@. What are the results of neglected
Constipation?
A. Constipation causes more suffering
than any other disease. 1t causes rheu-
matism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel,
| kidney, lung and heart troubles, etc. It
is the one disease that starts all others.
Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, loss of
sleep and strength are it's symptoms
piles appendicitis and fstula, are caused
by Constipation. Its consequences are
known to all physicians, but few suffer
ers realize their condition until it is too
late. Women become confirmed inyalidS
as result of Constipation.
Q. Do physicians recognize this?
A. Yes. The first question your doc
tor asks you is "are you constipated"
That is the secret.
Q. Can it be cured?
A. Yes, with proper treatment. The
common error is to resort to physics,
such as pills, salts, mineral water, castor
oil, injections, ETC., every one of which
is injurious. They weaken and increase
the malady. You know this by your own
experience.
Q. What then should be done to
cure it?
A. Get bottle of Mull's Grape Tonic
at once. Mull's Grape Topic will posi-
lively cure Constipation and Stomach
Trouble in the shortest space of time.
No other remedy has before been known
to cure Constipation positively and per-
manently.

A. 1t is Compound with 40 per cent
of the juice of Concord Grapes. 1t ex-
erts peculiar Strengthening, healing in
duence upon the intestines, so that they
can do their work unaided. The process
Is gradual, but sure. 1t is not a physic,
but it cures Constipation, Dysentery,
Stomach. and Bowel Trouble. Having q
rich, fruity grape flavor. it is pleasant to
take. AS a tonic it is unequalled, in
surfing the system against disease. 1t
strengthens and builds up waste tissue.
@. Where can Mulls Grape Tonic be
had?
A. Your druggist sells it. The dollar
bottle contains nearly three times the
5O-cent size.
Good for ailing children and nursing
mothers

used it because we know it will cure you.

FACIAL PARALYSIS
Nervous Distortion Of Face Cured oy
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills.

N.rxov. Distortion OF Face Cured BY
Or, Williams Pink Pills.
What appears to be q slight nervous
attack may be the forerunner OF a severe
disorder. No nervous sufferer should
neglect the warning symptoms, bus
abould see that the starved nerves are
nourished before the injury to the deli
cate organism has gone to an extent thas
renders a cure a difficult matter. The
nervesreceive their nourishment through
the blood, the same as every other part
of the body, and the best nerve tonic and
food is DIR. Williams Pink Pills. Inc
experience of Mr.. Harry Bemis, OF
Truthville, Washington county, n. ~
substantiates this.
az had been feeling badly for long
time" said Mr.. Bemis. and In the
early part of September, 1902, was com,
pelled to quit work on account OF my Ill
health. My trouble was at first ex-
treme nervousness, then my sight be-
came affected and I consulted an ocullss
who said was suffering from paralysis.
He treated me for some time, but got
no benefit. I tried another doctor and
again failed to obtain any relief. My
nervousness increased. Slight noises
would almost make me wild. My mouth
was drawn SO I could scarcely eat and
one eye was affected so could hardly
see. 1 had very little use Of my limbs,
in fact was almost a complete wreck.
ST am all right now and am at werk.
That is because followed my wife's adj
vice and took DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
She had used the same remedy herself
with the most gratifying results and she
persuaded me to try them when it ap-
peared that the doctors were unable to
help me. They acted very surely in my
case; my face came back into shape and
in time was entirely WELL"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists or by mail by the DIR. Williams

Employees.

The total number of persons en-
ployed in all the Swift packing plants
and branch houses aggregate over
$4,000 persons. Conditions for en-
ployes in the various manufacturing
and operating departments is continu-
ally improving with the construction
Of new buildings and the installation
of new and up-to-date equipment.
Sanitation and Hygiene.
The housewife makes no greater eff
fort to keep her kitchen clean than we
do to keep in sanitary and hygienic
condition our abattoirs. They are
thoroughly scrubbed at the close Of
each days operations, and automatic
appliances are used wherever possible
in order to eliminate the personal han
ding of meats. Rigid rules governing
these points are strictly enforced; lax
ity means dismissal.
Visitors Always Welcome.
No other industry in the world gives
such a cordial welcome to visitors as
Swift & Co. We keep open house the
year around, and maintain a corps of
specially trained guides, with special
elevators and rest rooms. In one year
we have entertained over a quarter Of
a million of men and women; in one
day-Grand Army Day, 19O1-we en-
tertained $4,000. Among our visitors
have been ambassadors from foreign
governments, princes, noblemen and
distinguished citizens from all lands
and eminent folks from every State in
the Union. We wish to familiarize the
public with our methods, and the best
way to do that is to let the public see
for itself. We have no secret process
es or methods in any department.

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.
Eore Amusing to the Outsider thar
IN

EIore Amusing to the Outsider than
| to the Victim.
A most perpleXing and absurd typo
but unfortunately, was captured on its
way, into the columns of Harper
Weekly. At the time of the union of
the Astor, the Tilden and the Lenox
libraries 1 wrote a long and hurried
paper of several columns in length con-
corning the three institutions and their
founders. The journal was to go to
press early on Saturday, and the arti-
Gle was not finished until very late on
Friday night. The messenger boy took
it to Franklin Square the next morning
very early, and by the time of my ar
rival at the editorial rooms the long,
wet galley proofs, unseen as yet by pro-
fessional proOfreaders, were ready for
inspection. Printed on different press
es and in different rooms, they came
down in an irregular way, without Sc
quence, without head Or tail. I skipped
from paragraph to paragraph, from
subject to subject, in most confusing
manner, the printers devil standing
impatiently at my elbow, the typeset-
tiers crying for REVISE" and all went
swimmingly along until I came to the
following remarkable sentence: "New
York perhaps has never fully realized
until this day how greatly it has been
enriched by the receipt of the vest but
tons Of James Lenoxw
Why "vest buttons?" 1 had no rec
objection of writing anything about
Mr., Lenox's vest buttons or about any
buttons Of any sort belonging to Mr..
Lenox or to his library. And I could
not remember in the haste Of compost
ton what 1 had written. But GER
tainly had not mentioned vest buttons,
which could in no possibility have any
connection with the subject in hand.
At last in despair copy" was sent for,
when it was discovered that Mr.. Len
ox's west buttons" were "tbe vast be-
quests" Of that generous, public spir-
tied gentleman!
Still find myself quoted as picking
up many earnest persons" instead of
"honest pennies;" as taking a "dog"
instead of day" out Of my vaca-
ton; as being possessed Of coach and
four and "a gold gallows" instead Of
"gold galore" as aiming from the
train" instead of arriving on the
train'' as arranging myself" instead
of "arraying myself in golf suit; as
driving and putting "gold balls" in
stead Of ''golf balls;;" as making the
cook garbage" instead of "garnish"
the dish with parsley; as making the
dairymaid charm the butter" when
her business was to "churn the BUTTER
and finally as speaking Of friend as
being slightly dead" instead of Slight
ly deaf"
l can understand the dairymaid as
being willing and ready to charm the
butter" but again 1 ask, Why west
buttons ?"-Laurence Hutton in Critic.

She Had Waited Long Enough.


A Maine girl of ideals told young
man who asked her for her hand that
she should not think Of marrying
man with less than ten thousand dol
lars.
The young man went to Boston and
worked very hard for several years,
returned, and called on the young
lady, who said, "Well, John, how are
you getting along"
pretty WELL" he said, II have al
most gotten nineteen dollars towards
the ten thousand"

Swift & Company

Louis, st. Joseph, st. Paul and Fort
Worth. The same methods Of purchas-
ing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail at
all cities. At Chicago, which is the
largest market, there are about two
hundred and fifty buyers, representing
packers, local slaughterers in various
cities, and exporters. OF this number,
less than a score are employed by
Swift & Company.
The farmer ships his live stock to
Chicago, consigns them to a commits
sion firm at the Union Stock Yards,
who sees that they are unloaded and
put in pens. Then the buyers inspect
them, make their offers to the commits
sion dealer, who accepts or rejects as
his judgment dictates. All buying must
be finished at 8 o'clock each day, and
the buyer must pay spot cash. If the
commission man has no satisfactory
offers, he can hold his stock over to
the next day. He gets his commission
from the farmer, and naturally strives
to get the highest possible price for his
client
Wholesale Distributing Houses.
A wholesale distributing house Is q
giant refrigerator, but instead Of
shelves there are trolley rails, from
which are suspended hooks to hang the
carcasses. Some Of the houses cost as
much as hundred thousand dollars to
build and equip. AS rule they are Of
pressed brick, the insides being lined
floor, walls and ceiling highly
polished hardwood. The floors are COW
cred daily with fresh sawdust and all
are kept spotlessly clean. There are
over three hundred of these wholesale
houses liz various cities of the United
States, and the public is always well
come to visit them.
Packing Plants.
All the Swift & Company plants are
located at the great live stock markets,
in the heart of the great agricultural
sections, where can be purchased the
finest grades Of cattle, sheep and hogs.
We have seven packing plants, employ
| ing at each from two to eight thousand
persons.
The following gives the locations
and sizes Of the different plants.

Margin of Profit.
The industry is operated on mar
gin of less than 2 cents to each dol
lar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
ut retail. Their entire output is sold
Mt wholesale to many thousands Of
dealers in various parts of the world.
There are hundreds Of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States, who
buy their live stock in competition
with the packer doing an interstate
and international business. Likewise
the packer must sell in competition
with the local slaughterers. There are
NO secret processes in the industry, no
complicated and expensive factories,
and as live stock can be purchased in
almost every hamlet and city, and the
preparation Of meats is simple in the
extreme, local slaughtering will long
remain q factor in the production of
fresh meats and provisions.
Economic Advantages.

Natures WAY Is Best.

The function strengthening and tissue
building plan of treating chronic, linger-
ing and obstinate cases of disease as pur-
sued by DIR. Pierce, is following after

their influence in cases o. lung, bronchial
and throat troubles, and this rDIsCov-
ERY" is, therefore, a sovereign remedy
for bronchitis, laryngitis, chronic coughs,
catarrh and kindred ailments.
The above native roots also have the
strongest possible endorsement from the
leading medical writer's. of all the several
schools of practice, for the cure not only
Of the diseases named above but also for
Indigestion, torpor of liver, or bilious
ness, obstinate constipation, kidney and
bladder troubles and catarrh, no matter
where located.
You don't have to take DR.. Pierce's
say-so alone as to this; what he claims
for his discovery" is backed up by the
writings of the most eminent men in the
medical profession. A request by postal
