In a few years:
Regina, Sask.. 23rd Nov, 1907.
Commissioner of immigration,
Winnipeg.
Dear Sir:
II is with pleasure that I reply to
your request. Some years ago 1 took
up a homestead for myself and also
one for my son. The half section
which we own ia situated between
Rouleau and Drinkwater, adjoining
the Moose Jaw creek, is a low level
and heavy land We put in 70 acres of
wheat in stubble, which went 20 bush
els to the acre. and 80 acres of sum-
mer fallow, which went 25 bushels to
the acre. All the wheat we harvested
this year is No. 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 80 acres. 80
acres has been fall blowing which
yielded 80 bushels per acre, and so
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 SO cents per
bushel clear. All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month of
August before any frost could touch
IL.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had a late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were
very adverse and unfavorable, We will
make more money out of our crop
this year than last.
For myself feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions.
/ am, dear sir.
Yours truly,

WHY THEY SLEEP IN CHURCH.
Hypnotisn, Not Drowslness, Declared
to Be the Cause.

"Churchgoers don't sleep in church.
They undergo an hypnotic trance.
The soothing voices and mild music
and monotonous recitative of church
service put forth powerful hypnotic
influences, and that is why the pews
resemble a railroad track in the
abundance of their sleepers."
The speaker, a hypnotist, banged
the table vehemently.
Don't laugh" he said. ITS true.
Hypnotism, not drowsiness, is what
makes you sleep in church. Through
your auditory nerve sound waves are
passed to your brain that are as eff
fective as though a professional hyp-
notist had made them. Sound, you
know, is the newest and best hyp-
motto.
cat first, In the church service, the
periodicity of the wave alterations is
short. There is a little speaking,
then more music. And just when you
are getting properly lulled the clergy
man, in a modulated, agreeable, sooth-
ing voice, speaks on and on and on
and you begin to nod. You are, hyp'
notically speaking, entranced.

ment. No wonder, then, 1t puts many

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD IS?
lite Chief Use and Method of Deter
mining Good from Bad Explained.


White Lead Is the standard print
material all over the world. 1t is made
by corroding metallic lead into white
powder, through exposing it to the
fumes of weak acetlc acid and carbonlc
acid gas; this powder is then ground
and mixed with linseed oil, making a
thick paste, in which form it is packed
and sold for painting purposes. Tho

consistency for application by the ad-
dition OF more linseed oil.
The above refers, of course, to pure,
genuine White Lead only. Adulterated
and fake White Lead" OF which there
generally some sort of composition
containing only a percentage of white
lead; sometimes no White Lead at all;
In such stun. barytes or ground rock,
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used to make bulk and initiate the
appearance of pure White Lead.
There is, however, positive test by
which the purity or impurity OF White
Lead may be proved or exposed, be-
fore painting with 1t.
The blowpipe flame will reduce
pure white lead to metallic lead. II

and it only partially reduces to lead,
leaving a residue, it is proof that
something else was there besides
white lead.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When healthy
they remove about 500 grains of impure
matter daily, when unhealthy some
part of this impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many diseases
and symptoms-pa in the back, head
ache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheu-
matism, govt, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irregu-
lar heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy,
deposits in the urine, etc. But if you
keep the filters right you will have no
trouble with your kidneys.
