DEMAND CHICORY.
FoFSien-Born Americans introducing a
 New Product

The steady demand by those who have Hemigrated to this country from Europe is daily creating a greater demand for chic rory to improve the flavor of coffee.
 It is fact not generally known to Americans that chicory, owing to it's pc culiar properties, neutralizes harmful ef- fleets which result from the drinking of straight coffee as a beverage.
 Now that it is becoming so difficult to secure cofeeS at any price which are really palatable, it is worth remembering that a mixture of coffee and chicory will give a beverage which we have dili- gently sought for but so often failed to find, for the family breakfast, viz, the same good coffee we so much admire in hrst-claSS restaurants and hotels.
 We have our European citizens by adoption to thank for this Used as they have been for more than a hundred years to add little chicOry to their coffee, this was a custom that clung to them after coming to America
 Their constant demand for it upon our merchants led to it's being imported in largely increasing quantities until one of the largest foreign firms engaged in pre- pairing it established great works here in America.
 Since then its use has widened until nearly all classes are now using it daily. Because it improves the taste of coffee and takes away it's bad effects.
 Leading merchants are now putting up their package coffees with the addition of the proper proportion of chicory and plainly labelling the package accordingly.
 This insures you coffee and chcory of like that served in the best hotels and

LOST $500.
Buying Medicine When Right Food
 Was Needed.

Money spent for "tonics" and "brac- .7ers" to relieve indigestion, while the poor old stomach is loaded with pas try and pork, is worse than losing a pocketbook containing the money.
 If the money only is lost it's bad senough, but with lost health from wrong eating, it is hard to make the Enoney back
 A Mich. young lady lost money on drugs but is thankful she found a way to get back her health by proper food. She writes:
 'I had been a victim of nervous dys- ypepsia for six years and spent three Hundred dollars for treatment in the attempt to get well. None of it did me any good.
 Finally I tried Grape-Nuts food, and the results were such that, if it cost a dollar a package, I would not be without it. My trouble had been caused by eating rich food such as pastry and pork.
 'The most wonderful thing that ever happened to me, I am sure, was the change in my condition after began to eat Grape-Nuts. I began to improve at once and the first week gained four pounds.
 T feel that I cannot express my self in terms that are worthy of the benefit Grape-Nuts has brought to me, and you are perfectly free to publish this letter if it will send some poor sufferer relief, such as has come to me"

NEW ARRIVALS IN CANADA
 NEARLY 300, ,OOO IN 1907.
ABOUT SIXTY THOUSAND FROM
 THE UNITED STATES.

Now that it is known that in the
 year just closed nearly sixty thou
 sand from the United States declared
 their intention of making their homes
 in Canada, it might not be out of
 place to search for some reasons that
 would bring this about. These people
 are but following the example of tho
 fifty-five or sixty thousand who did
 the same thing the year previous, and
 an almost equal number who the year
 before that but followed the example
 of the thousands Of the year preced- ing An excellent climate, certain and
 positive crops of grain of all kinds,
 good markets for their produce, land
 and good land, too at low prices, easy terms of payment, (not forget ting the 160 acres of land given free
 by the Government particulars of which the Canadian Government Agent whose name appears elsewhere will tell you about and then the splendid social conditions The situation is pretty well sized up by writer in one of the magazines. Quoting from this article, we find this: Those Of us who made good in the States inter- jected another settler as if to con. tinue the story of his neighbor, have had it easy from the start; little money is a mighty good thing on com ing into new country. But those who make an entry, or even buy lands at low rates, are able to square things in two or three seasons crops There are hardships in building shanties, and then with increasing prosperity getting things into shape for better homes But affairs go much as in the States. We have the largest liberty in the world there is more home rule III the Provinces than in the several states of the Republic. Taxes are light and with only few million peo- pie west of Winnipeg we don't get in each others way. Ones friends over the line probably thought we would not live through the winter; and while it is cold real cold, it is free from the moisture experienced in the east Schools are good as encouraged by the Government; the enterprising American promoter and Yankee drum- mer see to it that we take notice of the latest improvements and best agri- cultural machinery. Altogether we are as near to affairs as we would be on our own farms in the States. Winni- peg bears the same relation to us as Chicago did at home; and Edmonton with the surrounding region advances as Omaha did in the days when we were as young as the boys wonder. We get together much as they did in the granges over the border; the gov ernment has established experimental schools of agriculture, and progress i'll every line is stimulated. This is great region for grazing" we hear the Calgary citizen continuing, and then with building elevators of wheat at one dollar a bushel, many of us find time to go over to the live stock eX- hibition in Chicago or visit old friends i during the course of the winter. Every man is taken for what he is worth or for what he can raise; and in this good air and on this fertile soil we intend to show our old friends that we are made of the right stuff that we are chips of the old block who built up the American West"
