SOOaDS LIKE A FAIRY TALE
THE FARMERS OF CENTRAL CAN.
ADA REAP WHEAT AND
RICHES.

Up IN the Provinces OF Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, the prov.
inces that compose Central Canada
have such a quantity Of land suitable
for the growth of small grains, which
grow so abundantly, and yield 80 hand
somely that no fear need be feared
of wheat famine on this Continent.
The story reproduced below is only
one Of the hundreds of proofs that
could be produced to show the results
that may be obtained from cultiva-
ton of the lands In these provinces.
Almost any section Of the country will
do as we'll.
With the country recently opened by
the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest Of
the great transcontinental lines to en-
ter the field Of the development Of tho
Canadian West, there is afforded added
ample opportunity to do as was done
in the case cited below:
To buy section Of land, break It
up and crop 1t, make $17,550 out of
the yield and $10,SS0 out Of the increase
of value all within the short period
Of two years, was the record estab-
lished by James Bailey, a well known
farmer within few miles of Regina.
Mr.. Bailey bought the GAO acres Of
land near Grand Coulee two years ago.
He Immediately prepared the whole
section for crop and this year has 600
acres of wheat and 40 acres of oats.
The wheat yielded 1885 bushels, and
the oats yielded 4,750 bushels. The
whole Of the grain has been market.
ed and Mr.. Bailey is now worth s17, $50
from the grain alone. He bought the
land at SIS an acre, and the other
day refused an offer of $35 an acre,
just SIT advance for the time of his
purchase. The land cost $11,320 in
the first instance. Here are the fig.
ures Of the case.-Land cost, GAO
acres, at $1S, S11,320. Wheat yielded
1875 bushels, at "a cents bushel
S16,695. Oats yielded 4,750 bushels
at % cents a bushel, 1855. Offered
| for land, GAO acres at S35 an acre
| 2,400. Increase value of land, $10,SS0
Total earnings of crop, $17,55O, togeth.
er with increase in value of land to
tai Of $2S,540.
1t is interesting to note the figures
| of the yield per acre. The wheat
yielded 331a bushels to the acre, and
oats 1857 bushels to the acre. The fig
| ures are fair indication of the aver
age throughout the district.
Agents of the Canadian Government
in the different cities will be pleased

ReslnoI In Three Weeks Does What
Other Remedies Failed to Do In
-Four Months

My baby's face was like raw and
bleeding piece OF meat. l was at my
wits ends what to do. Medicine from
three physicians and ointments recon-
mended seemed to make the Eczema
worse. Then another mother spoke of
Resinol which procured at once-re-
member l had no more faith in it than
in all the rest had tried-but
thought it would be wasting only soc
more. Never did / spend SOC to bet

ond days l noticed a remarkable
change, and now at the end of the
third week l have my pretty blue
eyed, rosy checked, cooling baby
we'll again. l am safe in saying he is
perfectly cured and the cure was sure
ly something remarkable. Your Soap

everything else 1 tried failed to do in
four months. My baby was positively
disfgured, now his complexion Is all
right again.

SAFETY FOR MINERS
SIMPLE DEVICES THAT MIGHT BE
OF MUCH VALUE.
Recent Disaster at Cherry Hill Has
Led Writer In Eastern Journal to
Make Suggestions for Avoid
ing Catastrophes.

In reading the accounts of various
recent coal mine disasters, 1t occurs
TO me that certain devices for protect
such conditions which, from all ac-
counts, appear not to have been util-
iZed In such cases.
The action OF the miners at Cherry
Hill in shutting themselves up In one
of the mine compartments, by filling
UP the opening with earth and other
material, suggests the advisability OF
installing heavy asbestos curtains
tlike the fire curtains used in the
aters), or other similar means of cut
ting off connection of one part OF a
mine from another. These curtains
Sould be installed in such way as to
be removed from workings that be-
come exhausted or are not used.
Another suggestion is that each sec
tion of the mine workings be provided
with emergency telephone stations.
Telephone systems, I believe, have
been installed for business purposes
In some mines. Such facilities would
enable entombed miners to communi-
cate with the outside and afford In.
valuable assistance in case of acci-
dent.
The temporary lighting Of workings
by electricity also afford greater
safety, and would doubtless be very
valuable in case of accident.
In mines without water supplies, 1t
would seem feasible to keep all Sec
tions of the workings supplied with
readily available water, so that, in
case of an accident. IL the miners were
cut off from any section of the mine,
at least suffi water would be at
hand to meet their needs,
1t would seem desirable, also, to
have certain escape shafts located In
the safest parts of the mine, In sec.
tions which could quickly be cut off
lin case of fire or explosion. They
should be special shafts, to be used
for the escape of the men in case of
accident. They could be provided with
iron ladders or hand-hoisting appa.
ratus, II necessary, and would CORE.
spond somewhat to the fire escapes of
large modern buildings.
1t would seem, that devices like
these. which may be used in some OF
the more progressive mines, should be
installed in all coal mines where any
considerable number of men are re-
quired to work. 1t would be as rea'
sonable to require the installation OF
such appliances, along with those now
more generally in use, such as ven
tilating fans, ETC., as It is to require
devices for the protection Of life in
large buildings and on the railroads
The installation Of such appliances
should be supervised by good en-
gineers, and the devices should be in
spected and tested frequently enough
to insure their efficiency. They should
be so installed that an explosion or q
fall of earth will not put them out OF
commission. How extensively are
such appliances used? Can any one
answer the question ?-Washingtor
Star.

SAVE THIS RECIPE FOR COLDS

Mix half pint Of good whiskey with
two ounces of glycerine and add one
half ounce Concentrated pine COM

spoonful to tablespoonful every four
hours" Any druggist has these ingre-
dents or he will get them from his
wholesale house. The Concentrated
pine is special pine product and
comes only in half ounce bottles, each
enclosed in an air-tight case, but be
sure it is labeled Concentrated" This

Locker Clubs.

We have received a copy of the
Greenville Times containing an
editorial asking for law to sup
press locker clubs We do not
have such things, in this country,
but in the larger cities of Missis-
sippi they are said to exist and
are very little different from sa-
looms. In a club house every
member who desires it may have a
drawer containing liquors, Of
which he carries the key, and
whenever he visits the club he can
imbibe and treat his friends to do
likewise. This locker is kept
supplied by the manager of the
clubhouse. AS the Times says
this is calculated to create great
dissatisfaction because it enables
the rich to indulge in alcoholic
stimulants while the poor are de-
barred, and it ought to be sup
pressed.

Pellagra.

The above is the name of new
disease that is attracting some at
tention nowadays. When first
mentioned it was attributed to the
eating of bread made from impure
corn meal but lately this theory
seems to be losiag ground. The
disease manifests itself in a skin
eruption, something like itch, and
in some cases the patient is spot
ted as a leopard. We have heard
of no case in Tishomingo county
though several are reported in
Colbert and other North Alabama
counties. 1t is generally fatal
though said not to be contagious.

Good Roads.
ED. VIDETTE:

LII. NlDElIE.
Referring to your article in
the last irsue of the VIDETTE re-
garding the good roads movement
! must say that you have struck
the keynote on subject that has
already lain too dormant to the
loss of much valuable time and a
set back to our civilization.
1t is to be hoped that our Super
visors will at once act upon the
suggestion and that they may have
the approval and support of the
Farmers Union. And that every
citizen of the county may come to
see of what vital interest such a
move means to the material inter-
est of all properly owners. 1t is to
be hoped that no one will contest
without full investigation of the
matter.
The business interests of our
county are losing trade. Only a
few days ago citizen of Colbert
county near Allsboro was asked
why he had quit coming to Iuka
and his reply was we are having
better roads to Cherokee, although
it is much further we save time by
going there. 1t is said our mar
ket lost 800 bales of cotton last
season by that road.
