appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
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 n Of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
iaxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the Internal organs
on 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 a 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.

80 BUSHELS OF OATS 10 THE
ACRE.

What Mr.. knltenbrunner Hns to
Say About His Grain Crops in
Central Canada
Writing from Regina, S%askatche-
var Central Canada, Mr.. A. kalten-
drummer writes:
Some years ago l took up a home
stead for myself, and also one for my
son. The half section which we own
adjoins the Moose Jaw Greek is a low,
level and heavy land. We put in 20
acres of wheat in stubble. which went
70 bushels to the acre. and 80 acres OF
summer fallow, which went % bushels
to the acre, All the wheat we harvest
ed 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
cur XVI 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 1GO acres; so acres
has been fall blowing, which yielded so
bushels per acre. and so acres stubble,
which went 30 bushels to the acre.
These oats are the best kind that can
be raised. We have shipped three ear
loads Of them, and got SO cents per
bnshel clear. All onr grain was cut
in the last week OF the month of Au-
gust before any frost could touch it.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
lave had a late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were very
dvers and unfayorable, we will make
more money out OF our crop this year
than last.
For myself 1 feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions
Information regarding free home
stead lands in Manitoba. Saskatchewan
and Alberta may be had on application
to any Canadian Government Agent,
whose advertisement appears elsewhere.
He will give you information as to the
best route and what 1t will cost o
to reach these lands for purposes of
inspection.

Took Something.

Mrs. Brown, living in the country,
had five trunks carried up from the
station some three miles away, by an
old man. The day was rainy, and the
old fellow was soaked through when he
drove up to the house.
Mrs. Brown with sympathy)-Why,
Hamilton, you must be wet.
Hamilton (shivering)-Ye-es, ma'am.
Mrs Brown-Aren't you afraid you'll
take cold, Hamilton?
Hamilton-Ye-es. ma'am; rheumatic
pretty bad, ma'am.
Mrs. Brown-Don't you ever take
something when Q get soaked
through. Hamilton?
Hamilton eagerly - Ye-es, ma'am.
(Rubs the back of his hand across his
mouth.)
Mrs. Brown-Well, here are -four two
grain auinine pills. Hamilton, take
them as soon as you get home.
