Good for Lumber as Well as Shade
Its Spread in America.
Among the very common trees, yet
almost totally unknown, is the much
despised, i'll smelling ailanthus. A
million dollars could not buy a board
in any lumber yard. The dealer, or
manufacturer of lumber, never saw it
on sale and would not recognize it if
seen. Yet it is a magnificent wood,
resembling white ash, and capable of
receiving a high polish.
The tree is a native of the Molucca
islands, just south Of the equator,
some 4 degrees, and not far from Bor-
neo. Here 1t forms a very large for
est tree. 1t was brought from China
during the first decade of the nine.
teenth century, and has gradually
spread over the United States, planted
for shade only.
The male trees are very offensive
while in blossom, but the female trees
have no such odor. The trees have a
tropical appearance, spread by under.
ground roots, suckering so as to make
them a nuisance on the lawn.
The ailanthus has run wild In the
Cumberland mountains, groups Of the
trees being quite frequently found
where apparently the birds have taken
the clusters of winged seeds for lining
their nests, some of the seeds thus es.
Gaping them.

-Cuticura's Efficacy Proven.

years ago l was taken with an at
tack of piles (hemorrhoids), bleeding
and p%rotruding. The doctor said the
only help for me was to go to a
hospital and be operated on. / tried
several remedies for months but did
not get much help. During this time
sores appeared which changed to a
terrible itching eczema. Then l began
to use Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Pills, injecting a quantity of Cuticura
Ointment with a Cuticura Suppository
Syringe. 1t took a month of this
treatment to get me in a fairly healthy
state and then. l treated myself once
a day for three months and, after that,
once or twice a week. The treatments
I tried took a lot of money, and it is
fortunate that / used Cuticura. J. H.

SOME REMARKS FROM MINNIE.
sofa EDITORS.
What They Think Of Western Canada.

A party of editors from a number Of
cities and towns of Minnesota recently
made a tour of Western Canada, and
having returned to their homes they
are now telling in their respective
newspapers Of what they saw on their
Canadian trip. The West st. Paul
Times recalls the excursion of the
Minnesota editors from Winnipeg to
the Pacific Coast ten years ago.. Re-
ferring to what has happened in the
interval the writer says: Thousands
of miles Of new railway lines have
been built, and the development OF
the country has made marvellous
strides. Millions of acres, then lying
In their wild and untouched state,
have since been transferred into grain
fields. Towns have sprung up as If
by the wand of a magician, and their
development is now in full progress.
IL is a revelation, a record of conquest
by settlement that is remarkable
The Hutchinson Leader character
ICES Western Canada as "a great coun-
try u~ndeveloped. The summer out
ing" 1t says, was an eye-opener to
every member of the party, even those
who were On the excursion through
Western Canada ten years ago, over
considerable of the territory covered
this year, being amazed at the prog
ress and advancement made In that
short space of time. The time will
come when Western Canada will be
the bread-basket Of the world. 1t
vas a delightful outing through a
great country of wonderful POSSIBLE
tiles and resources"
Since the visit of these editors the
Government has revised its land regu.
lations and 1t is now possible to Sc
cure 100 acres of wheat land at $500
an acre ip addition to the 100 acres
that may be homesteaded.
The crops of 1905 have been splen-
did, and reports from the various dis
tricts show good yields, which at pres
ent prices will give excellent profits to
the farmers.
From Milestone, Saskatchewan,
there are reported yields of thirty BUSH
els of spring wheat to the acre, while
the average is about 20 bushels. The
quality of grain to be shipped from
this point will be about 100000 bush
els. Information regarding free lands
and transportation will be freely given
by the Canadian Government Agents.

THE SOUR MILK COW.
An Explanation the Woman New to
the Country Didn't Believe.

the Country Didn't Believe.
The woman was new to the country
and her host took great pains to ex-
plain to her whatever she didn't I'M
derstand about the farm. He had lit
tie regard for the truth, this farmer;
he delighted to test her gullibility to
the utmost.
The cows seemed to interest her
more than any other domestic animal.
One of the cows had lost her tail
somehow and this fact led the woman
to ask why 1t was.
That's the sour milk cow tho
farmer explained with a straight face.
I'VE always cut the tail off one COW
In the herd so as to get SOUL milk

The woman looked her doubt.

UPWARD START
After Changing from Coffee to Postum.

Many a talented person is kept back
because Of the interference of coffee
with the nourishment of the body.
This is especially so with those
whose nerves are very sensitive, as is
often the ease with talented persons.
There is a simple, easy way to get rid
OF coffee evils and a Tenn. lady's ex-
perience along these lines is worth
considering. She says:

use OF coffee Ii hurt my stomach. BY
the time l was fifteen / was almost a
v wreck, nerves all unstrung, no
strength to endure the most trivial
thing. either work or fun.
"There was scarcely anything I
could eat that would agree with me.
The little l did eat seemed to give me
more trouble than it was worth. l
finally quit coffee and drank hot
water, but there was SO little food I
could digest. / was literally starving;
was so weak ! could not sit up long
at a time.
ut was then a friend brought me a
hol cup of Postum. ] drank part of 1t

"Well-no-I will not 60 so far as
to say it is hopeless" he answered,
speaking with extreme elaboration.
You see, he has several things in his
favor. He is young; he has a mag

healthy life; he has not been given

the other hand, there is no denying
that the wound is a very dangerous
