General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because it's com.
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its exc
cellent combination Of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for it's remark,
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.

Nifty thanked him sincerely and

It the truth were known, Nifty was
entirely respectable and honest, just

EXCELLENT Weather
AND MAGNIFICENT CROPS
REPORTS FROM WESTERN CAN.
ADA ARE VERY ENCOURAGING.

A correspondent writes the Winni.
peg MAN. Free Press: "The Pinch.
er Creek district, (Southern Al
berta), the original home of fall
wheat, where it has been grown with.
out failure, dry seasons and wet, for
about rs years, is excelling itself this
year. The yield and quality are both
phenomenal, as has been the weather
for its harvesting. Forty bushels is q
common yield, and many fields go up
to SO, 60 and over, and most of it No.
Northern. Even last year. which was
less favorable, similar yields were in
some cases obtained, but owing to the
season the quality was not so good. It
is probably safe to say that the aver.
age yield from the Old Mans River to
the boundary will be AZ or 4S bushels
per acre, and mostly No. Northern.
One man has just made a net profit
from his, crop of $1955 per acre, or
little less than the selling price of
land. Land here is too cheap at pres
ent. when crop or two will pay for

is the district dependent on wheat, all
other crops do we'll, also stock and
dairying, and there is a large market
at the doors in the mining towns up
the Crows Nest Pass, and in British Co.
lumbia, for the abundant hay of the
district, and poultry, pork, and gar

The wheat, oat and barley crop in

than three thousand miles of Western
Canada's agricultural lands, touring

Saskatchewan and Alberta, with nu.

only the magnificence of the crops, but
the magnitude, in measures, of the

opened to farming immigration. There

there, and millions of acres under Gull

Canada in soil, product, topography or

SIBERlA'S MANY LARGE CITIES.
They Are a Surprise to the American
 Visitor.

One is continually surprised at finding such large, prosperous cities in Siberia writes Prof G. E. Blakeslee in the Boston Transcript. Omsk has some 55,000 inhabitants, Ob 25,000, Tomsk 75,000, Krasniarsk 35,000 and lrkutsk 60,000. In many ways, how ever, they still show the crudeness of is over one story high, and the dust in the unpaved streets lies some inches thick On the other hand, there is large number of schools in the coun- try. Tomsk is the educational cen ter, besides being the largest city. It has an institute of technology and university of some reputation, which is attended by several hundred stu dents.
 After travelling for days over the level, monotonous plains of the wes;, it is a pleasure to reach the borde' of the hill country, which stretches from Krasniarsk some hundred miles on to Lake Balkal In ones first en. thusiasm one is tempted to exclaim that Krasniarsk is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It cer- tainly is charmingly located, remind. ing one of many town on the Rhine. It is built in the valley where the Katscha flows into the great Yenisel mountains on every side, and the nigh banks of the river above and be low. Seen from a distance, with it's many church domes glistening be- tween tke hills, it makes the most de lightful picture of all Siberia.
 A further ride of day and half through this hill country, much of which is heavily wooded with thick growth of pine, brings one to Irkutsk. which after Tomsk, is the largest city in Siberia It is in many ways very attractive place. Its main streets are paved and 1t, is lighted by electricity; 1t has three daily papers, large thea ter, g handsome art museum, a tech. nical school, theological seminary,

No Nature Fake.

You certainly run up against funny things in the country" said the young man who had just returned from down state, where his uncle has a large farm. On the way up to my uncles house l had to pass the stock yards, where he kept lot of pigs. As I passed those hundreds of pigs seemed to be having a regular stampede or panic of some kind-they were rush. ing madly about, apparently looking for something l watched them for quite a while, but could see nothing but small woodpecker sitting on the fence. When 1 got to the house asked Uncle Jim what on earth was the matter with the hogs, they seemed so excited.
 That so? We'll, it was this way there was a spell back some weeks when 1 had a bad cold, lost my voice, and couldn't call those critters to their feed, so l got the idea of bringin' them to the troughs by tappin my stick on the wooden fence, and ever since them pesky woodpeckers came round the hogs just go crazy, thinkin' I'm callin them to give them somethin' to eat.

to be left alone with the body for a moment. He bent over his wife to kiss her for the last time The cheek on which his lips rested was warm. His wife was alive.
 The man, dazed with joy and won der, sent at once for a doctor who confirmed his hopes. The doctor or dered her to be removed at once to the hospital Her condition rapidly improved and she is now well on the way to recovery.
 The womans story of her experi- ence during the trance is extraordi- nary.
 "I knew everything which was go- ing on around me-" she said, but could not move. 1 could not even speak when I saw that they thought l was dead"
 Even when she was put in her coffin and it seemed almost certain that she would be buried alive she was unable to utter a word to save herself. She could not even speak to her husband as he bent over her. Only the touch of his lips on her cheek saved her.

26 churches and one of the most i'm posing cathedrals in the whole em pire. There are two or three factories in the city, one of which is porcelain establishment, which turns out most excellent work. In strolling through the business streets one is surprised at the great variety of goods displayed In the stores, especially at the real ele- gance of the silver and jewelry assort- nlents. There are many American wares to be seen-kodaks, sewing ma chimes, typewriters, gramophones, reapers, tools from Massachusetts canned fruit from California, canned oysters from Maryland In some of the show windows were pyramids of boxes of an American food product each with a Russian label and repre- sentation of the American and the Russian flags.
