Readers of the Daily World will
remember that some weeks since
John Miller started to build livery
stable on Chelan avenue, just below
the Baptist church, and ada
cent to the homes of several prom
inent citizens, the latter Immediately
raising a very audible howl.
Miller stated at the time that he
was not in the least "buffaloed" by
the strenuous objections to his plans,
though work on the project has not
gone forward as yet, except that
building materials were hauled to the
proposed site of the new livery barn.

itoba. This is but one of many let
tiers giving experiences of settlers,
and should be encouraging to those
who are looking about for a new
home in which they may better their
conditions. The following is copy
OF the article referred to:
William Knowles. who cultivates
some twelve acres of land just below
Middlechurch ferry on east side of the
Red River has probably as fine a dis
play of horticultural products as any
in Manitoba. The whole of his hold.
ing is in high state of cultivation
and literally crowded with splendid
vegetable specimens, which have for.
tunately escaped damage by hail, al
though heavy storms have more than
once occurred within a few miles. The
potatoes are a wonderful crop, and he
expects to raise 1900 bushels from
his patch of Az acres. A half dozen
of tubers selected yesterday average
more than a pound each. Adjoining
the potatoes may be seen a marvellous
collection Of tomatoes. There are 600
plants, all growing under an enor-
nous weight of fruit. One single
stock picked yesterday contained
eighteen tomatoes and weighed four
pounds. This extraordinary example
of marvellous growth, together with
some of the potatoes were sent to the
Free Press office.
The proprietor was the first in
town with several specimens, includ-
ing green corn. The season has been
favorable for onions, and one square
patch of nearly an acre is looking re-
markedly healthy. In addition there
are good crops of cabbages, cauliflow-
er, turnips, parsnips, carrots, pump
hns, marrows, cucumbers, celery, peas,
lettuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral de-
partment has not been neglected and
a charming display of all the well
known blooms were shown, including
specially choice lot of asters.
Mr.. Knowles, who gained most of
his gardening experience in England.
is loud in his praise of Manitoba soil
for vegetable raising, and is gratified
with the result of his first attempt at
extensive horticulture.

Pure Food.

The pure food law does not prohibit
the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking
Powders because Cream of Tartar is
as pure as Alum-but it is a we'll
known fact that a baking powder in
which Alum is used instead of Cream of
Tartar is less injurious. DR.. Herman
Reinbold, the expert German chemist,
in a recent official report concerning
Baking Powders, declares that a pure
Alum baking powder is better and less
injurious than the so-called Cream Of
Tartar powders. He says that If the
quantity OF alum contained in a suf-
ficient quantity of baking powder for
a batch of bread or cakes for an ordi-
nary family, be concentrated to one
mouthful of food. and taken into the
stomach of any one person, no matter
how delicate, it could do no harm.

FURIOUS HUMoR ON CHILD.

Nothing Helped Her-Cuticura
Cures Her in Five Days.

AFTER my granddaughter Of about
seven years had been cured of the
measles, she was attacked about a
fortnight later by furious itching and
painful eruption all over her body,
especially the upper part of 1t, forming
watery and bleeding sores, especially
under the arms, of considerable size.
She suffered a great deal and for three
weeks we nursed her every night,
using all the remedies we could think
OF. Nothing would help. We tried the
Cuticura Remedies and after twenty
four hours we noted considerable i'm
provement, and after using only one
complete set of the Cuticura Remedies,
in five consecutive days the little one,
much to our joy, had been entirely
cured, and has been well for a long
time. Mrs. F. Ruefenacht, r. F.. d. No.

My parents were well-to-do peo-
pie OF the middle-class, and was
their only child for ten years, and
then my little brother was born. My
parents were very fond of the child
as he grew from babyhood, for he
was remarkably beautiful; but their
affection was nothing like the love I
bore him. People used to wonder at
It, even my parents were puzzled at
1t. When / was II years of age, and
Robert, my little brother, seven, our
parents died within the same year.
My fathers income had been de.
rived from a salary, which of course
ceased at his death; but just about
that time a small fortune was left me
by an aunt, including this house.
Here we came to live, Robbie and I,
and a middle-aged servant woman,
Margaret, the mother of the woman
who is with me now. My whole
life was then devoted to my idolized
brother, to the exclusion OF all else.

married; but no one could come be-
fore Robert in my heart He did
not lose his beauty as he grew older;
he was bright, lovable, affectionate;

possessed a quick, fiery temper which
he never tried to control or restrain.
Il will not finger over the years
that passed until Robert reached his
twenty-frst year. 1t was his desire
to study law, so he entered the of
fee of a prominent lawyer in this
city. He had only been there a few
months, when through a young man
in the Office, he was introduced into

plunged into dissipation. When |

tage home, down in the country, had
become intolerable to father, so he

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from a New York daily paper,
giving a simple prescription, as formu.
lated by noted authority, who claims
that he has found positive rem
edy to cure almost any case of back
ache or kidney or bladder derange-
ment, in the following simple prescrip-
ton, If taken before the stage of
Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated
that the ingredients are all harmless,
and can be obtained at a small cost
from any good prescription pharmacy,
or the mixture would be put up If
asked to do so. He further stated that
while this prescription is often pre-
scribed in rheumatic Affections with
splendid results, he could see no rea-
son why it would not be a splendid
remedy for kidney and urinary trou-
bles and backache, as it has a peculiar
action upon the kidney structure,
cleansing these most important or
gans and helping them to sift and
filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sick
ness and suffering. Those who suffer
