MIX THIS AT HOME.
Valuable Prescription Which Anyone
Can Easily Prepare:

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form of Rheumatism by
forcing the Kidneys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms as backache,
weak kidneys and bladder and blood
diseases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to
make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredi
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in bot
tie, and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and again at bedtime.
This simple mixture is said to give
prompt relief, and there are very few
cases of Rheumatism and Kidney
troubles it will fail to cure perma-
nently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department;
if not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you, rather
than fail to use this, if you are af.
dicted.

KING AND KAISER IN
BATTLE FOR DUKEDOM
EdsUerd Supports Claims of Duke of Cumberland to
Dukekon of Brunswick, While Kaiser Wants
Place for His Son.

the entire period maintained that he
was being Illegally deprived of his
rights.
Albrecht's death brought Cumber-
land forth in active campaign. which
had the support of Edward. Wilhelm
might have listened to the desires OF
his august uncle. the sovereign ri
England, had not family matters made
him take different view of the situa-
ZION AS father he wanted place
for his sons. Not all of them could
rule Germany, yet he wished each one
to have place of authority and liberal
income. and Brunswick offered the
right kind of berth for his son Eite..
In the interval the son Of the duke
of Cumberland mad come of age, and it
was the desire of the duke to resign in
favor of his son, but the German poll.
ticians in control of the diet of Bruins
wick SO manipulated that no change
could be made in the government OF
the duchy.
The kaiser was SO deeply enrased
over the obduracy of the duke of Cum
berland that when he met the English
claimant at the funeral of King Chris
tian of Denmark last winter he virtu-
ally insulted him by the austerity OF
his salute Yet Cumberland had per
haps more right at that bier than even
the kaiser, for he had married u
fourth daughter of King Christian III
1878, which act made him a brotheTin-
law of the wife of England's king,
Queen Alexandra
During the interval since the death
cf Albrecht, Brunswick has been ruled
by a regency, power being vested in
the diet of Brunswick, whose chief is
DR.. Otto, president of the diet. But
now the citizens want ruler again.
and have announced through the diet
that they intend to chose one.
Cumberland, they say, can have the
place if he will but yield his preten-
sions to Hanover and gain the friend
ship of the kaiser, but among diplo-
mats this is thought to be ruse TO
persuade Cumberland to yield up his
rights and then decline to give him his
promised reward.
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1907-02-15

The duke, who is reasonably as
tute observer, has declined to fall into
the trap. He demands all or nothing,
both his titles, Hanover and Bruns-
wick.
Prince Won Buelow, chancellor of
the German empire, is leading the bat
tie for the kaiser's second son He
plans to have him as regent, to which
Office he could be appointed by the
kaiser, or as reigning duke, to which
position he has no claim, but this
could be overlooked ii the Brunswick
diet vouchsafed him an election.
Only one feature of the controversy
can be regarded as certain-the king.
dom of Hanover will not be revived.
The contention is entirely a matter of
who shall come into the dukedom of
Brunswick.
There is third claimant to the title
in Prince Frederick William, who is a
son of Prince Albrecht, who assumed
the title after the death of King
George, deprived of the throne, be-
cause of his partisanship with Austria
during the Prussian war.
II the pretensions of Cumberland
can be set aside and the kaiser have
his way, it is almost certain that the
election Of Prince Eitel will follow.
Whether King Edward will accept this
Injustice to one of his relations with
ont protest is an international question
that may yet maize serious trouble.

CANADA'S GOOD TIMES,
The immigration During 1906 Was
216,OoO.

While it is well to heed every
word of caution from the leaders in
commerce and finance and to avoid
all speculative ventures that lack
solid business foundation it Is clearly
evident that there is no conspicuous
weak spot in Canada's present era OF
prosperity. The Toronto Globe says:
THE Dominion has in a commercial
sense plenty of money, and our lead
ing financial institutions are in po
sition to lend freely in the United
States. The chief productive enter.

expense of the general public and
lead to disruption and catastrophe
The prosperity Of Canada has no ar
tificial foundation being based on .
healthy and substantial expansion OF
trade and industry. with a proportion
ate extension of productive settlement
to new areas
1t Is true that we are borrowing
but every line will bring new terri
tory within the limits of profitable
occupation, and will create prosper
Gus settlements to bear the burdens
and repay the outlay. We are not
exhausting mineral resources, for il
is quite reasonable to assume that
although mineral wealth is never
permanent, ours will during the
measurable future develop far
greater productive capacity than al
present. Our timber wealth oan be
made continuous by judicious pol
icy. And agriculture. the real foun
dation of our prosperity, is expanding
with every new expenditure On rail
way construction We are not in
the flush of a railway mania that
could bring its punishmeSt through
the useless duplication of lines The
gigantic railway enterprises that
now stimulate every line of business
in Canada will create a nsw Dunin

burdens of debt now freely assumed
Canada's era of prosperity has been
unprecedented, but there is NO sign
of weakness and no cause for lack
of confidence. While our growth {.
normal and healthy, We need have nc
alarm at its rapidity.' This article
might have gone on to relate the
great growth that is taking place in
Central Canada, where thousands OF
Americans have made their homes
during the past few years. The past
calendar year has given to Canada by
importation an addition of $4,000 tc
it's population. OF this the United
States contributed 63,7S1. The agents
of the Canadian government whose
advertisement appears elsewhere. say
that this number will be largely in
creased during 1907.

for vegetable garden to be just as

a combination of the two is the plan

Lord Kelvin once showed that all
the oxygen in the atmosphere probab-
ly came from the action OF sunlight
on plants. When the earth was a
globe of hot liquid it contained no veg
etable fuel and probably no free oxy-
gen. But as it cooled off plants ap-
peared on it's surface and these began
to evolve oxygen through the medium
of the sunbeams. Upon the oxygen
thus derived we depend for the main
tenance of life by breathing.
