appeal to the Well-Informed in everv

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best o. personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
o. which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

Oats Yielded 90 Bushels to the Acre.
The following letter, written the Do

Emigration, speaks for itself. 1t proves

fered by the government it is possible
to become comfortably well off in few
years:
Regina, Sask., Nov. %, 1907.
Commissioner Of immigration, Winni-
peg:
Dear Sir-It is with pleasure that |
reply to your request. Some years ago
/ took up q homestead for myself and
also one for my son. The half section
which we own is situated between Rou-
leau and Drinkwater, adjoining the
Moose Jaw Creek; is a low level and
heavy land. We put in 20 acres of
wheat in stubble, which went 20 bush
els to the acre, and 80 acres Of sum
mer fallow, which went % bushels to
the acre. All the wheat we harvested
this year is No. l hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised on
the earth. We did not sell any wheat
yet, as we intend to keep one part for
our own seed, and sell the other part
to people who want first-class seed, for
there is no doubt if you SOW good
wheat you will harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 5000 bushels of first
class oats out of 100 acres. Eighty
acres has been fall blowing, which
yielded 90 bushels per acre, and 50
acres stubble, which went 80 bushels
to the acre. These oats are the best
kind that can be raised. We have
shipped three car loads of them, and
got 90 cents per bushel clear. All our
grain was cut in the last week Of the
month of August before any frost could
touch ii.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had a late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were very
adverse and unfayOrable we will make
more money out of our crop this year
than last.
For myself l feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions.
| am, dear sir, yours truly,
(Signed) A. KALTENBRUNNER.

The Gentle Rebuff.

Robert w. Hebberd, New York's com.
missioner Of charities, concluded an ad-
dress at recent philanthropic dinner, in
this way:
Yes, unreasonable are the rebufrs
that the helpers of the poor, the seekers
after charity for their suffering broth
Crs. undergo.
"A friend of mine, Methodist minis
ter in a small western town, told me the
other day of his last rebuff, not unkind
one.
Entering the office of the local week
ly. the minister said to the editor:
- am soliciting aid for a gentleman
Of refinement and intelligence who is in
dire need of a little ready money, but
who is far too proud Il man to make his
sufferings known
Why exclaimed the editor. pushing
up his eyesh9de, I'm the only chap in
the village who answers that description.

ICELESS ICEBOXES.
Running Refrigerator or Cold Storage
Plant by Electric Motor.

Horseless wagons, smokeless powder.
noiseless guns and iceless iceboxesI The
last item is described in Popular Mechan-
les. 1t consists of an electric motor
belted TO a pump which keeps a cooling
solution moving through set of pipes
which are placed in the refrigerator
These pipes are similar to the steam or
hot water radiators in the living rooms
only they cool instead of heat the apart
ment
The machine is entirely automatic. and
constantly maintains whatever degree of
cold is selected. The moment the Their
mometer rises above that point the ma
chine starts up of itself and works until
the apartment is sufficiently cooled: then
II stops of itself.
The whole affair is so simple as to re-
qulre practically no attention, except an
occasional oiling, which is no more diff
cult than TO oil a sewing machine. At
trlhlng expense one can also fix up
basement room as cold storage for
large supplies. such as barrels of apples.
jars of butter, sacks of potatoes. etc.
which it is now impossible to keep in the
average residence.
In many families the saving effected
by purchasing supplies in quantities in
stead of from day TO day would be
enough to pay the entire cost Of operat-
ing the cold storage system; if not. the
amount formerly spent for ice certainly
would.

MUST READ ae BOOKS A DAY.
That Stunt Necessary Just to Keep VI
with the American Output.


Somebody has just figured it out that
man will have to read at the rate of
tWenty-siX books a day to keep up with
American literature alone. Last year,
according to The Independent, we broke
the record: 24S1 more books published
in the United States than in 1906; far
ahead of any previous year.
The total number for 1907 was 1920
from which may be subtraCted $50 new
editions, leaving 1929 really new books
appearing in the United States.
OF these 6517 were by American au-
thorS or were new editions manufa ctured
in the United States, the others being by
English or other foreign authors or con-
sisting of imported editions, bound or in
sheets.
We are gradually making good our lit
erary declaration of independence, every
year producing a larger proportion of
the books we read, especially fiction. In
quantity if not in quality we are catch
ing up with England, where last year
1914 books appeared. only 294 ahead of
us, whereas in 1906 the English publica-
tons outnumbered the American by
14G4.
The French in 1907 produced 1875,
of which. however, 1000 or 1000 were
mere pamphlets. The Italian book pro-
duction for the same year was 1O40. In
the American list fiction of course stands
at the head, with I'LL titles. Next to
il and rapidly gaining on it is theology
and religion. with S76.
The classes following are law, physical
and mathematics science, poetry and
the drama. Why is it that people will
continue to say that religion is a dead
issue and that nobody reads poetry i'll
face of the fact that last year in this
country the number of new publications
in religion was more than 40 per cent
greater than the year before, and the vol
umes of poetry more than doubled?

most Likely to FOLLOW Proper
Eating.
AS old age advances we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape
Nuts, made Of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action of diastase
il the barley which changes the starch
into sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up under
the bran-coat of the wheat, are includ-
ed in Grape Nuts, but left out Of white

ing of brain and nerve cells.

an Iowa man, for s years and feel as

Among my customers 1 meet man

Grape-Nuts and Postum which he has

Grape-Nuts with Postum and says they

Wisdom of the Oyster.

Mr.. Travers, the famous New York
wit, once met at dinner a pompous Eng
lishman who was doing the states.
He had letters aplenty attesting his i'm
portance-letters from Gladstone Dixie
Salisbury, and Churchill. He had talked
everybody tired before the dinner began,
and Travers saw visions of bad meal
when be discovered the Englishman to
be his neighbor at table. There was
never a stop to the fellows tongue
When the oysters were brought on he
began: Now, it is a question whether
or not the oyster has brains; scientists
dispute the idea ''T-t-t-they certainly
have some" retorted Travers. Your

for argument. "W-ah-ah Why sir. the

There is a proprietor of shop in New

for their Indifference in the matter of
possible sales.
One day, hearing a clerk say to a Gus
toner, No, we have not had any for
long time" the proprietor, unable to
countenance such an admission, began
to work himself into the usual rage.
Fixing a CLASSY eye on his clerk, he said
to the customer:
I'VE have plenty in reserve, ma'am;
plenty downstairs"
Whereupon the customer looked dazed;
and then, to the amazement of the pro-
prietor, burst into hysterical laughter
and quit the shop.

the proprietor of the clerk.
