The most successful remedy in this

female complaints is Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
stood the test of years and to-day is
more widely and successfully used than
any other female remedy. 1t has cured
thousands of women who have been
troubled with displacements, intlam-
nation, liberation, fibroid tumOrs, ir-
regularities, periodic pains, ~backache,
that bearing-down feeling, fatulency,
indigestion, and nervous prOstration,
after all other means had failed.
If you are suffering from anyof these
ailments, don't give up hope until you

MONEY MADE IN LIVE STOCK
IN CENTRAL CANADA.

w. J.. Henderson, visiting Seattle,
writes the Canadian Government
Agent at Spokane, Wash, and says:
81 have neighbors in Central Canada
raising wheat, barley and oats for the
past 20 years, and are now getting
from the same land 20 to 80 bushels OF
wheat per acre, 40 to 60 bushels OF
oats.
1T was the first week Of May when
got my tent pitched, but the farmers
all around had finished putting IN
their crops, so l only got fifteen acres
broke and seeded. They advised me
as ii was late not to put in much
wheat, SO l put in five acres OF wheat
and ten acres oats, one-half acre pota-
toes and vegetables. All kinds OF veg
etsbles grow we'll up there, sweet corn,
tomatoes, onions, carrots, peas, beans,
cabbage. My wheat yielded about 70
bushels per acre, for which l got rs
cents, others got 80 cents; oats
threshed 30 bushels per acre, for which
/ got 35 cents per bushel. You see |
was three weeks late in getting them
I'm, still l was satisfied.
From my observation, there is more
money made in stock, such IS cattle,
horses and sheep, as prices are high
for such, and it costs nothing to raise
them, as horses live the year around
out on the grass. In fact, farmers turn
their work horses out for the winter,
and they come in fresh and fat in the
spring. Cattle live out sever or eight
months. They NOW the prairie grass
and stack it for winter and give oat
straw. My neighbors sold steers at
$40 each, and any kind of a horse
that can pillow, from $4,000 up. | raised
60 chickens and 5 pigs, as pork, chick
ems, butter and eggs pay well and al
ways a good market for anything a
man raises, so | have every reason tc
be thankful, besides, at the end Of
three years l get my patent for home
stead. / heard Of no homestead sell
ing for less than $4,000, so where I'M
der the sun could an old nan or
young man do b~etter?"

about getting back to work again. The
advertisements in the church papers
began to supply him with a new in
terest; the possibilities OF usefulness
opened up once more before him.
In August he found himself In Liv-
erpool, one of four curates, and the
least important of the four. He hal
little or no preaching to do, but much
visiting. The neighborhood was
squalid and drink-sodden, and his
work in consequence monotonous and
depressing.
Yet he was much happier than he
had been for a long time. He was
doing something again, something for
himself and for others. His pay might
be only just sufficient to keep body
and soul together, but that did ont
trouble him. He he'd lever been used
to luxuries. Moreover, he felt that
those who followed the Nazarene
should be willing, If needs be, to share
povery with Him as well as toll.
He was looking down the pages OF
the Courier" one day, when his eye
alighted on a list of passengers who
were sailing that very morning on
one OF the Cunarders for New York.
He hardly knew what induced him to
run his eye down the list; he did not
feel at all curious about the matter.
Then suddenly he gave a little start.
"Mr. James Bice," then a little lower
down, Miss Marion Grovely," n
then Miss Esther Mawgan.'
He understood it all in a moment.
Marion had to go to the states with
her solicitor to look after her prop
erty. and she had persuaded Esther
to accompany her.
He was out in the street and hail
ing a cab almost before he knew what
he was doing.
ITO the landing stage" he said to
the cabby; land drive as you never
drove in your life before"

CHAPTER XxxNl.
There and Back.

The Atlantic liners did not come
close up to the landing stage In those
DAYS. The Ithica swung at anchor IN
midstream. The last tender was just
putting off when Grayton, GREATNESS
and excited, rushed alongside. He was
| too late. however, TO go on board
The we're already up. The
crowd on deck were waving hats and
| handkerchiefs TO the crowd OH the
stage. The ropes were held in readi-
ness to be cast off.
For several moments Grayton scan
ned the faces of the passengers IN
vain. Then the light Of a great Joy
! suddenly famed in his eyes. Marion
was the first 10 catch sight of him
and she pointed out to Esther. He
I saw her face flush and then grow pale.
Was she angry with him still? No;
she was smiling and waving her hand
to him. He felt in a vague way that
Marion and Mr.. Bice were stanc!ng
close to her, but he saw neither OF
, them. That one dear face filled the
world for him then, and he wanted TO
! see no other.
I'll be here when you return" he
called, but it seemed almost certain
that in such a Babel of sounds his
words never reached her.
He saw her lips move. She was try
ing to send some message back to
him, but he could not hear. Only her
eyes spoke to him today as they had
never spoken before.
The distance widened quickly, the
pure, sweet face became indistinct
and then only a blurred shape. But
she was there, and that fact chained
him to the spot.
The crowd on the landing place
quickly dispersed. A few remained
as IL 10th to go. Perhaps they fell
what he was feeling.
Each deck of the great ship out In
midstream was lined with people; Sc
much could be seen from the shore
but no single face could be distin
guished. Grayton stood holding out ;
white handkerchief that fluttered for
lornly in the breeze. He imagined
since the landing stage was no longe
crowded, she might see that he wa
still waiting.

RURAL TELEPHONES.
One Of the Greatest Time Savers Ever
Invented for the Farming Com

W. y
Invented for the Farming Com
munlty.
The commercial growth of any COM
munity irrespective of size Is hamper
ed to a degree that cannot be over
estimated If telephone service Is not
at hand. 1t Is essential to all, not
only to the millionaire of many bust
ness interests, but to the farmer as
well The farmer has been slow to
recognize this fact up to within a
comparatively short time. But 1t is
becoming apparent to him that II Is
not an expense, as he has hitherto
believed, but a saving, perhaps of a
life In illness. perhaps of help, when
flood or fire m or something else.
The great benefits OF a telephone to
the farming community may be placed
under three headings, each heading
In itself covering numberless other
reasons, namely:
"a 1t Is one Of the greatest time
yer eve invented.
(2) Modern business methods
would become antique without it's use.
CD II enllvens social intercourse
and makes n~eighbors of and cements
friendship between families living
miles apart.
A farmer with a phone does not
have to go to the nearest market to
find the price OF various agricultural
products. Neither Is 1t necessary for
him to blindly send his products to
market only to find prices at a low
level. Reasons too numerous I o men
ton could be given showing what an
Invaluable assistant the telephone is to
the farmer In a business way.
To the town or small city the tele.
phone has become almost as necessary
as the lighting supply and water sup
ply. To many. the former is as i'm.
portant as the other two. No city or
town can prosper and grow without
all three.
To the housewife II is a friend that
does not fail. The inconvenience OF
marketing and shopping is done away
with. To her as well as the farmers
wife 1t Is an all around necessity as
well as an aid to social e~nlivenment
