SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
WAS REAL r

The Chicago Symphony orchestra
did not draw as large an audience ID
the Opera House last night as it de-
served and consequently a large por,
ton of Laramie's m~usic-loving popu-
lation missed a real treat. This fact
can probably be accounted for to
some extent by the fact that the com-
pany received a somewhat caustic and
probably undeserved criticism at the
hands of a Denver paper. Those who
did attend were well repaid and it Is

General Demand

ST the Well Uniformed 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 its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly b enehcial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its e.
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 its remark-
able success
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
che preference by the Wel-Informed
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine -manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

toc'1 him to a doctor, but his face
kept on getting worse until it got SO
bad that no one could look at him.
His whole face was one crust and
must have been very painful. He
scratched day and night until his face
was raw. Then l took him to all the
best specialists in skin diseases but
they could not do much for him. The
eczema got on his arms and legs and
we could not get a nights sleep in
months. l got a set of Cuticura Rene
dies and he felt relieved the first time
I used them. I gave the Cuticura

his travelling companion, but our
climate IS too dirty to permit of our

with it is to cut it up into blocks and

EAGER TO WORK
Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman
is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task. or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold Of one, and all endeavor becomes
burden.
"A year ago, after recovering from
an operation" writes Mich. lady, my
stomach and nerves began to give me
much trouble.
AT times my appetite was vora-
cious, but when INDUCED, indigestion
followed. Other times had no appetite
whatever. The food l took did not
nourish me, and 1 grew weaker than
ever.
Il lost interest in everything, and
wanted to be alone. had always had
good nerves, but now the merest trifle
would upset me and bring on vio-
lent headache. Walking across the
room was an effort and prescribed ex-
ercise was out of the question.
Il had seen Grape-Nuts advertised
but did not believe what I read, at
the time. At last when it seemed as
if l were literally starving, l began to
eat Grape-Nuts.
L had not been abe to work for
year. but now after two months on
Grape-Nuts am eager to be at work
again. My stomach gives me no trou-
BILE now, my nerves are steady as
ever. and interest in life and ambition

a railway carriage at Sheffield and
were Immediately put down as bridal
pair But they were remarkably self
possessed and behaved with such
sang-froid that the other passengers
began to doubt If. their first surmise

AS the train moved out, however,
the young man rose to remove his
overcoat, and shower Of rice fell out,
while the passengers smiled broadly
But even that did not affect the

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 % years, is excelling itself this
year. The yield and quality are both
phenomenal, as has been the weather
for its harvesting. Forty bushels is a
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. 1t
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. l Northern
One man has just made a net profit
from his crop of 1885 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
it, and failure almost unknown. Nor
is the district dependent on wheat, all
other crops do well, 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
den truck. Coal is near and cheap.
Jim Hill has an eye on its advan-
tages, and has invested here, and is
bringing the Great Northern Railroad
soon, when other lines will follow
The wheat, oat and barley crop in
other parts of Western Canada show
splendid yields and will make the
farmers Of that country (and many Of
them are Americans) rich. The Cana
dian Government Agent for this dis
trict advises US that he will be pleased
to give information to all who desire
it about the new land regulations by
which a settler may now secure 100
acres in addition to his 100 home
| stead acres, at $500 an acre, and also
how to reach these lands into which
| railways are being extended. It might
be interesting to read what is said of
that country by the Editor of the
-A1i oAG1l1 NA1lnu.1 OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
who made trip through portions of it
in July, 1908. Passing through more
than three thousand miles of Western
Canada's agricultural lands, touring
the northern and southern farming
belts Of the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, with nu-
merous drives through the great grain
| fields, we were made to realize not
only the magnificence of the crops, but
the magnitude, in measures, of the
vast territory opening, and to be
opened to farming immigration. There
are hundreds of thousands of farmers
there, and millions of acres under Gull
| tivation, but there is room for mil
lions more. and other millions of acre
age available. We could see in Western
Canada in soil, product, topography or
climate, little that is different from
Minnesota, and with meeting at
every point many business men and
farmers who went there from this
state, it was difficult to realize one
was beyond the boundary Of the
country"

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine

their attractiveness to the way they
