EAGER TO WORK
Health Reealned 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
a burden.
"A year ago, after recovering from
an operation" writes a Mich. lady, my
stomach and nerves began to give me
much trouble.
AT times my appetite was vora-
clous, but when INDUCED. indigestion

End Of London,s Private Gardens

1t is sad TO hear that the last of the
private gardens in the city OF London
is coming to an end. No. Crosby
Square, with its beautiful old stair
case and pleasant rooms, is to be
pulled down. Ripe figs were gath
cred in the summer of 1898 from the
fig tree on the wall, and other trees
grew near the fountain in the mid
die Of the garden. An 1850 edition OF
Murray's London states that the pres
ent houses in Crosby Square were
built in 1877. This was the year in
which the Lady Mary was married
to William of Orange.

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 25 years, is excelllng itself this
year. The yield and quality are both
phenomenal, as has been the weather
for its harvesting. Forty bushels Is
common yield, and many fields go up
TO so, go and over, and most of II No.
1 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. II
is probably safe to say that the aver
age yield from the Old Mans River to
the boundary will be 81 or As bushels
per acre, and mostly No. / Northern.
One man has just made a net profit
from his crop Of $19.55 per acre, or
little less than the selling price of
land Land here IS too cheap at pres
ent, when a crop or two will pay for
il, and a failure almost unknown. Nor
is the district dependent on wheat, all
other crops do WE'LL 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 land 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
1t about the new land regulations by
which settler may now secure 100
acres in addition to his 160 home

how TO reach these lands into which

| that country by the Editor of the
! mdISHdli NNilull.J Ns-mtsSIHNtI,
who made a trip through portions of 1t
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 cul
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 ol
climate, little that is different from
Minnesota, and with meeting al
every point many business men anC
farmers who went there from this
state. It was difficult to realize one
was beyond the boundary of the

Special Train to Carry a Wreath.

Carelessness on the part or some
court official recently rendered neces-
sary the sending of a special train
from Budapest to Vienna to carry a
laurel wreath for the tomb Of the muir
dered Empress Elizabeth. II is the
custom every year to make up on the
empress estate at Godollo, in Hun.
gary, a gigantic laurel wreath to be
laid on the empress coffin in the
vaults Of the Capuchin church on the
eve of the anniversary of her assas'
sination. This year when the official
in charge of the wreath arrived in
Budapest he found that the wreath
had not been put in the carriage. To
go back for II was to lose the train
and as II was imperative that the
wreath should be laid in the imperial
vaults that evening, the court cham
berlain ordered a special train to car
ry the wreath over the 1863 miles be
tween the Hungarian and Austrian
capitals.

1t is stated that Mr. Wetherlll figured
extensively In these proceedings for
the relief Of escaping slaves. Another
interesting fact is that Mr.. Wetherill
was a grandson of Samuel Weiherill,
who figures as the hero in the story

venerable Mr.. Wetherill, though a
Quaker, seems TO have received his
