are many; in fact almost every Sc
rious illness has its origin in consti-
patton, and some medicines, instead OF
preventing constipation, add to It.
This is true of most cathartics, which.
when first used, have beneficial ef-
feet, but the dose has to be contin-
ually increased, and before long the
remedy ceases to have the slightest
effect There is one preparation, how
ever, that can be relied upon to pro-
duce the same results with the same
dose, even after fifty years daily
use, and this is Brandreth's Pills,
which has a record Of over 100 years
as the standard remedy for constipa-
ton and all troubles arising from an
impure state of the blood.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fne
laxative tonic pill your grandparents

SQUIRRELS az Walters.

II has taken Fisk Goodyear Of
Burchtown, Pa, two years to train
his pet squirrels, but his efforts are
now repaid, and on Thanksgiving he
treated his friends to surprise.
Gathering half a hundred or more
gray squirrels, Mr.. Goodyear taught
them to 60 into the woods and pick
: up nuts. carrying them to his home.
On Thanksgiving night at dinner
his guests noticed small board run
ming from window to a nut bowl.
The host gave one knock on the table
with his knife. A squirrel hoped
down the plank and dropped a chest
nut into the bowl. Two raps brought
q squirrel with q walnut, three knocks
q shellbark.
Finally, a grave old squirrel took
his place and cracked the nuts, wind
ing up the performance by brushing
on the crumbs with his thick bushy
tail.

Then he started to walk home and
was ON the mountain when the cries
of a wildcat alarmed him. A few
minutes later he saw the beast ten
feet In front of him The animal
finally sprang. He jumped aside and
as the body of the cat struck the road
he leaped upon it. For several min

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN
CANADA,
Magnificent Crop Returns for the
Year 1906.

The manner in which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers in recent
years has caused many Of our journals
and public men to ''sit up and take no
tice," to use a current phrase. From
every European country and from al
most every State in the Union large
number of settlers have flocked to the
prairie provinces of Canada, where
tree homesteads and wide opportun-
tiles are open to all who desire to
avail themselves of them.
The greatest factor In attracting
settlers lies in the inherent richness
II soil and suitability Of climate for
producing what is universally consid-
red to be the finest wheat in the
world-the mo. / Hard" of Canadian
growth-and other cereals that rank
In the very first class. This year the
harvest returns were: Wheat, co.
10000 bushels; oats, 10000 900 BUSH
els; barley, 100000 bushels; and
when it is considered that the entire
population of the three provinces-as
evidenced by the quinquennial census
just completed-is only $4,000, 1t is
easily seen that the lure of the Cana
dian West is In its agricultural poten-
tialities.
Another feature which attracts the
settler is that railway construction is
proceeding with such rapidity that al
most every district Is within easy
reach of outside markets. and that
good prices for all lines of farm prod
acts rule practically from the COM
mencement of agricultural operations.
This is a factor which did not prevail
when the earlier settlements in the
West were made in Canada and in the
Uaited States. and has given a great
impetus to Canadian Western settle
ment in recent years.
I The free grant system Of home
steads which prevails in the prairie
provinces, by which every settler who
Is able and willing to comply with the
conditions of actual settlement (by no
means onerous) IL given 100 acres
free, except SO for entry. is q great
OIdWlu6 CoIO, 6uQ IA thO last AcSoA
year gathered In over $4,000 add
tional to the western population. Of
which 57.79e were from the United
States.
The further fact, as Is strongly
brought about by the agent OF the
Canadian Government, whose address
appears elsewhere. that q splendid
common school system, practically
free, prevails throughout the entire
country, and is easy Of access in ever
the most remote districts, is another
great inducement to the settler who
has the future welfare Of his family
In mind, and this, coupled with thu
fact that western Canadian law and
order are proverbial, completes
circle of good and SUFFICIENT reasons
why the tide Of immigration has SCI
In so steadily toward the country Il
the north of our boundary line.

JUSTICE IN MEXICO.

The wheels of the legal machinery

The general attitude of the govern

to that of the United States, where a
man is presumed innocent until

Mexican procedure is that the man ID

On the other hand, the prosecuting
attorney is bound to warn the suspect
against doing anything which will in.

The tedious delays incident to Sc.

Of the laws Of Mexico may appear to
