The diamond, instead of being real
solid, Is mass of atoms all In rapid
and violent motion. The edge of the
stone is formed of these moving mole
cules as well as the body. Now, glass
is also made up of moving atoms,
though they do not move so rapidly or
so violently as the diamond atoms.
When the diamond edge, therefore, Is
applied to the glass surface the dia-
mond atoms drive the glass atoms out

FINEST STRAIGHT WHEAT LANDS
THAT EXIST ANYWHERE ON
THIS CONTINENT.

The entire district Is we'll favored
with regard to water, and good drink
ing water can be obtained at depth
of from ten to twenty feet. There is
splendid natural drainage throughout
the entire district, by small creeks
that lead into the Big Quill Lake or
the Last Mountain Lake. Through
out the entire plains there is a luxuri-
ant growth of wild grasses that clear
ly indicate the very rich nature OF the
SOIL The tame grasses, such as Glow
err and timothy, have been tested, and
it has been found that they are we'll
adapted to this soil and climate.
LUMBER FOR BUILDING.
Lumber for building purposes is
obtainable one hundred miles east,
from the mills in the Riding Mountain
district, and one hundred miles north,
from the mills in the Prince Albert
district, and consequently is consider
ably cheaper than in the northwestern
states, and also of much better quail
ity.
The Canadian Northern main line
operating between Winnipeg and Ed
monitor, passes directly through these
plains; while the Grand Trunk Pacific
and the Canadian Pacific main lines
to Edmonton and on to the coast, PEN
citrate the southern portions OF this
district, and doubtless in short time
these roads will have branch lines
running north and south throughout
this district that will give all the
transportation advantages required,
and will help much to enhance the
value of the lands.
SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN ORGANIZED.
School districts have been formed
throughout these plains, school
houses have been built in every dis
trict in which there are ten children
of school age, public roads and
bridges have heen constructed by the
government. Catholic, Presbyterian
and Lutheran churches have been
built in the villages and in many of
the townships in this district. Wat
son is a thriving little village about
three years old, and already con-
tains two large grain elevators, one
good hotel, restaurants, two banks,
a number of general stores, three lum-
Der yards, blacksmith shops, drug
store, churches and schools. The
coming year we expect another large
elevator will be built, probably
-four mill, creamery and numerous
other improvements.
While the Quill Lake Plains region
is comparatively new, yet there has
been homesteaders and other settlers
located in these plains for seven years
Some of these settlers live within
three miles of Watson, and they all
claim that they have had good crops
every year and as rule very large
crops, since they started farming in
this locality. There has not been a
failure of crops reported in the dis
trict yet.
We recommend the Quill Lake plains
as one of the very best agricultural
districts in Western Canada, and we
believe it will prove to be one of the
garden spots of the country in less
than five years with its lands selling
from $50 to $50 per acre. We think
every man without land of his own

STOP SPREAD OF TYPHOID
DIR. Cowley Gives simple Directions
which Must he Followed.

This is the time OF the ,year when
Berea is commonly visited with an
epidemic of typhoid. By studying
carefully and observing accurately the
following suggestions much can be
done to prevent this spread of typhoid
for typhoid is preventable and there
fore an unnecessary disease.
1. Typhoid is caused by a germ
which is found in the mouth. stools
and urine of patients suffering with
the disease Therefore in every case
OF typhoid the spit, vomit and dis
charge should be sterilized Place
one teaspoonful of formalin in the
vessel with these discharges, leave
them stand covered 10 minutes and
then bury them in the back part OF
the garden. Never put piece of news
paper on the floor for the patient to
spit on. Flies get into it and carry it
on their feet to the table and deposit
it on the food and so spread the dis
ease.
2. Keep all flies out of the room.
There is nothing worse than flies for
spreading typhoid. They are filthy
lighting on any piece OF soiled linen,
soiling themselves and then lighting
on food and water. communicating it.
Use screens and fly poison and drive
them out.
3. One, and only one. person at a
time should nurse the typhoid patient
and while she is on duty she should
do nothing else. She should moi
touch the cooking or baking. After
she battles or otherwise attends tC
the patient, she should carefully wash
her hands in soap and water, immedi-
ately after touching the patient.
4. The bed linen should be renewed
as. soon as it is the least bit soiled
1t should be soaked in tub of water
containing table spoonfuls of for
malin, Tor at least an hour, wrinsed il
in fresh water and hung in the sun
sey eral hours. All towels and othcl
linen touching the patient should bt
soaked and dried in the sun the same
way.
1t is really a sin to neglect these
simple precautions for If they are care
fully followed typhoid fever will not
spread but will surely disappear from
the community. The neglect OF thest
precautions spreads the disease and
causes thousands OF deaths yearly.
