UPWARD START

after Changing from Coffee to
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 case with talented persons There
is simple, easy way to get rid OF
coffee evils and a Tenn. lady's expert
ence along these lines is worth eonsid-
ering. She says:
almost from the beginning of the
use of coffee it hurt nay stomach. BY
the time l was fifteen I was almost a
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. ! finally
quit coffee and drank hot water, but
there was so little food l could digest,
| was literally starving; was so weak
l could not sit up long at time.
ut was then friend brought me
hot cup of Postum. drank part or IL
and after an hour | felt as though l
had had something to eat-feit
strengthened That was about nve
years ago and after continuing Postum
in place of coffee and gradually get
ting stronger to-day | can eat ana
digest anything l. want. walk as much
as | want. My nerves are steady
Il believe the first thing that did me
any good and gave me an upward start,
was Postum. and / use it altogether
now instead of coffee. : There's a
Reason.

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

What They Think Of Western
Canada.
A party of editors from a 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: 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 trans
ferred into grain fields. Towns have
sprung UP as if by the wand of
magician, and their development is now
in full progress. 1t is a revelation,
record of conquest by settlement that
is remarkable"
The Hutchinson Leader characterizes
Western Canada as "a great country
undevelope0. 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 breaG-basket of the
world. 1t was delightful outing
through great country of wonderful
possibilities and resources"
Since the visit of these editors the
government has revised its land regula-
tfons and it is now possible to secure
| 100 acres of wheat land at S. an acre
In addition to the 100 acres that may
be homesteaded.
The crops of 1903 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
Abe Canadian government agents
