Keen YOUR Blood Pure.

No one can be happy. light-hearted
and healthy with body full of blood
that cannot do its duty to every part
because of its impurity: therefore. the
first and most important work in hand
is to purify the blood SO that every
organ will get the full benefit Of a
healthy circulation. There is no rem
edy SO good as that old family rem
edy. Brandreth's Pills. Each pill con-
tains one grain Of the solid extract Of
sarsaparilla blended with two grains
OF combination Of pure and mild
vegetable products. making It . blood
purifier unexcelled in character. One
or two taken every night for awhile
will produce surprising results.
Brandreth's Pills have been In use
for over q century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or snsar-coated.

Young Lady Who Suicldsd At Ackley
Was Daisy eoohsr.
4 Ackley.-The mystery Of the idec'
tity Of the young woman who killed
herself 80 strangely near Ackley was
been fully cleared up. First she wal
positively identified, as Missy Daisy
Booher Of Greenfield. by Des Moinea
friend. Miss Ruth Murray. to whom,
was shown a photograph Of the dead
young woman. Later at Ackley tho
father Of the young woman, Henry
Booher, removed all doubt when NJ
declared positively that she was hl:'
daughter, Daisy. He had been
prompted to come to Ackley by tho
striking similarity between the pub
lished descriptions OF the young wo'
man and the description Of his own
daughter. who had been missing for q
few days. He was overcome with
grief as he gazed on her dead body.
and until he was kindly led away, he
kept muttering her name.
The identification closes a tragedy
that has attracted widespread atten-
ton, because Of its unusual character.
Miss Boohe.' was young woman OF
good education, and she came from q
well to do home; even as she lay
cold In death beside the railroad
bridge where she hung herself she
bore unmistakable marks of refine
ment In her features and in her well
appointed dress. Her manner OF
death was extraordinary. Arriving In
Ackley on Christmas day, she made
an effort to find work as servant,
although good positions in stores In
Des Moines and elsewhere were open
to her. She walked into the country
and near a bridge of the Illinois Cen
trail railway she made her deliberate
preparations for suicide. She de-
stroyed every mark on her clothing
that might lead to her Identification,
and then burned them all with her
suit case and its contents, saturating
them with oil she has brought. Then
she hung herself, jumping from the
bridge. Three times, it believed,
she made the attempt lie sue

being too long. Aft failure
she cut a piece fro De to shor-

not NJ better ascertained than BY not
me the increase Of railroad mileage IN
~ transportation system. and, Judged
by this standard, the Canadian West
leads AL the countries In the world
during the current year. Thirty years
ago there was not one hundred miles
Of railroad west OF the Great Lakes,
and, very little prospect Of trans
continental route for many years to
como. but BY the end Of 1885 the
Canadian Pacific Railway was within
measurable distance Of completion.
and last year-twenty years later
over 5000 miles OF railroad traversed
the provinces OF Manitoba. Sas-
katchewan and Alberta. ID
In the past year the work Of rail
read construction has been vigorously
prosecuted. and by the end OF 1906,
some 5000 miles OF completed railroad
has been added. making total OF
fully 1000 miles In the three great
grain producing provinces of Canada.
Such an Increase In the transportation
facilities Of the country 10 bound to
make good times not only In the dis
tricts where the railroads are being
built, but throughout the entire west.
Allowing $4,000 mile for construc.
ton. the sum OF 500. 100000 will be
put in circulation, and this In itself
should cause good times to prevail in
I land where work is plentiful, wages
are high. and the cost Of living Is mod
crate.
But the building Of new railroads
through Western Canada means q
greater benefit to the country than
merely the money put in circulation
by the cost OF construction. Addition
ii railway building means the opening
OF new agricultural districts and an
additional area under crops: . largely
increased output Of grain to foreign
markets with consequent financial re-
turns; the erection Of elevators and
the growth Of villages, towns and cit
les: and everything else that makes
for the progress of national life, and
the opening up Of additional thousands
Of free homesteads, so extensively ad-
vertised by the Canadian government
agent. whose address appears else
where.
It was stated on the door Of the
Canadian Parliament recently by q
prominent representative that ten
years from now would see the bulk Of
the population of Canada residing
west Of the Great lakes, and II the
work OF railway building during the
present year is any criterion, the
prophecy made by the Canadian states
man may be easily fulfilled inside Of
the time stated. During the present
year no less than 189, 064 persons have
found homes in the Canadian west,
Of whom 57,796 were Americans who
have seen the great possibilities of
this new West, and have decided to
cast in their lot with It. Certainly,
our neighbor north Of the 10th parallel
is making q great record. and deserves
the success that appears to be coming
its way.
