best evidence OF the superiority of that country.
They are becoming rich. growing from Is to 50
bushels wheat to the acre; 90 to Ito bushels oats
and IS II % bushels barley, besides having splen-
did herds of cattle raised on the prairie grass.
Dairyinx is an i'm port ant industry.
The crop of 1908 still keeps Western Canada In

A man asleep is certainly sight to
make angels weep. What good is all
his brain, muscle, backing, nerve, in
fuence, and family connections? He's
at the mercy of his enemies, and more
so of his friends. And he's about as
beautiful as Understanding against

as different. No matter how she looks,

her to be that way.

Con Evidence.

A learned judge was explaining the
intricacies of evidence to a young
friend, says the Washington Star, and
gave the following story in regard to
conflicting evidence.
Usually, he said, one statement is far
more probable than the other, so that
we can decide easily which to believe
1t is like the boy and the house-hunter.
The house-hunter, getting off train at
a suburban station, said to a boy:
My lad, l am looking for Mr. Smith

About twenty minutes walk" the
boy replied.

NlfuraI Result

Willowby had a good shoemaker, Hi
ram Pool by name. Nobody knew the
trade of making, mending and tapping,
residing and patching shoes better than
he. His conversation took on local color
from his shop, no matter what the sub
ject might be. One evening an as
tronomer, sojourning in Willowby, gave
a talk at the town hall, and Hiram
went to hear him.
what did you make of all he said
about the cause O wet weather, when
he'd spoken so light of the moon hav-
ing all to do with it," somebody asked
Hiram the next day.
Mr.. Pool held up the boot he was
mending and squinted at the sole of it.
His talk needed waxing said the
shoemaker, dryly, when his inspection
of the boot was finished. But what l
made out of it was that he considered
the wet weather usu'lly comes when the
clouds are so old and rotten they won't
hold the patches"

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

What They THINK OK "eHteTh
Canada.
A party Of editors from number
Of cities and towns of Minnesota re-
Gently 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 Min
nesota editors from Winnipeg to the
Pacific Coast ten years ago. Referring
to what has happened in the interval
the writer says: ''Thousa ads 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 trans
ferred into grain fields. Towns have
sprung up as if by the wand of a
magician, and their development is now
in full progress. 1t is q revelation, a
record Of conquest by settlement that
is remarkable"
The Hutchinson Leader characteriZes
Western Canada as "a great country
undeveloped. The summer outing it
says, was an eye-opener to every mem
Der of the party, even those who were
on the excursion through Western Can
ada ten years ago, over considerable
Of the territory covered this year, being
amazed at the progress and advance
ment made in that short space of time.
The time will come when Western Can
ada will be the bread-basket of the
world 1t was a delightful outing
through a great country of wonderful
possibilities and resources"
Since the visit of these editors the
government has revised its land regula-
lions and it is now possible to secure
100 acres of wheat land at So an acre
in addition to the 100 acres that may
be homesteaded.
The crops of 1908 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 bushels Of
spring wheat to the acre, while the
average is about twenty bushels. The
quantity of grain to be shipped from
this point will be about 100000 bushels.
Information regarding free lands and
transportation will be freely given by
the Canadian government agents.

UPWARD START
After Changing from Coffee to
Postum,

Aftrs Changing from Coffee to
Postum.
Many 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 case with talented persons. There
is a simple, easy way to get rid of
coffee evils and a Tenn. lady's expert
ence along these lines is worth consid-
ering. She says:
Almost from the beginning OF the
use of coffee it hurt my stomach. By
the time was fifteen 1 was almost
nervous wreck. nerves all unstrung. no
strength to endure the most trivial
thing, either work or fun.
There was scarcely anything 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 l could digest,
l was literally starving; was so weak
l could not sit up long at a time.
1T was then friend brought me
hot cup of Postum. l drank part of it
and after an hour l felt as though
had had something to eat-felt
strengthened. That was about five
years ago and, after continuing Postum
in place of coffee and gradually get
ting stronger, to-day l can eat and
digest anything l want, walk as much
as l want Ny nerves are steady.
Il believe the first thing that did me
any good and gave me an upward start,
was Postum, and l use it altogether
now instead of coffee" There's

Deafness caruot he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an iniamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is iniamed you have q rumbling
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

TIE
General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant ard
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its 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 ex-
celent 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 its 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.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine -manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale

Lightning Photographs Its Victim.


Walter NJ. Grubbs, editor of the De
catur (Ala.) News, has in his posses
sion a curiosity in the form of Win
dow pane. A few weeks ago lightning
struck the home of S. W. Goree and
killed him instantly. His wife was
stunned. Strangely enough the fatal
stroke of lightning photographed the
scene on the glass of the front door.
In the picture Mr.. Goree is seen smok-
ing a pipe, as if he were watching the
cloud. Mrs. GOrees mouth is slightly
open as if in the act of speaking. Her
teeth show plainly in the picture.
Bushes in the yard, the front fence and
two telephone poles are plainly seen
in the picture, as are also a house and
a skirt of woods fully a quarter of a
mile away Strange to say, the fash
of lightning which killed Mr.. Goree
and made the picture is itself photo
graphed on the glass.
