GERMANY AND
CANADIAN WHEAT
LOOKS TO THE CANADIAN WEST
FOR HER SUPPLY.

A dispatch from Winnipeg, Mantle.
ba, dated March 10, 1910 says: That
Germany is anxious to secure share
OF Canadian wheat to supply her i'm
ports Of that cereal." The recent adj
justment of the trade relations with
Germany has made it possible to carry
on a Canadian-German trade with
much fewer restrictions than in the
past, and considerable DEVELOPMENT
OF trade between the two Countries
Is now certain. The great men of
the United States are alive to the
Wheat situation in this Country now,
and there is consequently the deepest
interest in every feature that will
tend to increase and conserve the
wheat supply. With its present ESQ.,
100000 bushel production of wheat
and all efforts to increase it almost
unavailing, and the rapidly growing
consumption of its increasing popula-
ton, there is certainly the greatest
reason for the anxiety as to where the
wheat Is to come from that will feed
the nation. The United States will
be forced as Germany is to look to
the Wheatfields of Canada. One
province alone raised last year one
eighth as much as the entire produc.
ton of the United States, and but a
twelfth of the wheat area has yet been
touched. The Americans who have
gone to Canada, are to-day reaping
the benefit of the demand for Canadi.

England will be represented in the dash to the

navy. Capt. Scott sails next June, and after win

he hopes to reach by the end of December. The
American expedition, starting from its base in
Costaland will do It's utmost to make good the

Lieut.. Shackleton and Capt. Scott were both
puzzled by the winds blowing from the
south and considerably warmer than the previous
temperature. Capt Scott wrote: 'The warm
snow-bearing southerly winds which expert
enced have not yet been explained. Even in the
depth of winter this wind had a temperature of
10 to Is degrees" This in itself suggests that
there may be comparatively warm valley or
region somewhere in Antarctica

Capt. Amundsen, who long has been associa-

connection with rumored expedition from Swe-

1t is II years since the crusade in England
and Germany renewed for Antarctic explora-

Australia and the Indian ocean, and 600 to 700

Here the greatest of fields for pioneer
research, and eight xpeditons-Belgian, Scotch,
German, Swedish and French-have brought
home a large amount of scientific information.
Six of them-two English expeditions, led respec-
lively by Scott and Shackleton, the Scotch under
Bruce's command, the Germans under Dryagalski,
the Swedes under Dr. Otto Nordenskjold, and the
French under DR.. Charcot-have discovered new
land and two of these parties, those of Scott and
Shackleton pushed their discoveries of ice capped
plateaus and lofty mountains far to the south
and one of the smallest of these expeditions prac-
tcally has proved the existence of the Antarctic
continent.
In 1904 Bruce, of the Scottish expedition, dis
covered Coats land far south OF the Atlantic,
whose coast he was able to follow for rs miles.
and believed to be another segment of Antarc-
tica. Scott in 1902 discovered Edward VII. land,
which was joined by the great ice barrier of Ross
to South Victoria land.
All these new-found lands considered by
the polar explorers to be part of the Antarctic
continent.
The south pole is situated on an Antarctic
continent somewhat larger than the United States
and with an area of 100000 square miles. The
pole is on tableland about 900 feet high. The
glaciers of the Antarctic continent of stupen-
dous size. The great ice barrier is glacier 700
miles wide and hundreds of miles broad in places.
The presence of volcano belching out steam

of an anomaly the presence of extinct vol
cano covered with cap at the equator.
Mount Kilimanjaro, in Africa, and Mount Erebus,
which Lieut.. Shackletons expedition conquered,
exhibit this marked antithesis. Mount Erebus is
one of group of mountains of which Mount Lis
ter rises more than 1900 feet higher than the
volcano
1t is probable that the south pole itself is bur
led beneath much as 5000 feet of everlasting
ice. On account of this altitude above sea level
its neighborhood may he colder than that Of the
north pole.

NEW THEORY IS
RAPIDLY SPREADING
OVER COUNTRY

L. 7. Cooper's theory concerning the
human stomach, which he claims to
prove, with his new medicine, is being
given more respect and comment
every day.
Cooper claims that 80 per cent. of
all i'll health is due to stomach trou.
BILE. When interviewed about his theory
recently, he said: Stomach trouble is
the great curse of the goth century so
far as the civilized races are con.
cerned. Practically all of the chronic
i'll health of this generation is caused
by abnormal stomachic conditions. In
earlier days, when the human race was
closer to nature, and men and women
worked all day out of doors, digging
their frugal existence from the soil,
the tired, droopy, half-sick people that
are now SO common, did not exist.
ITO be sure, there was sickness in
those days, but it was of a virulent
character, and only temporary. There
was none of this half-sick condition
all the time with which so many are
afflicted nowadays.
II know positively that every bit al
this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stomach
in civilized people today is degenerate.
1t lacks tone and strength This weak
ness has gradually come through sed-
entary existence. l further know that
few people can be sick with the diges.
tive apparatus in perfect shape. The
sole reason for my success is because
my New Discovery medicine tones the
stomach up to required strength in
about six weeks time. That is why
have had more people come and thank
me wherever have gone to introduce
my medicine, than I have had time to
talk WITH"
Among the immense numbers of peo-
pie who are now strong believers in
Cooper's theory and medicine is Mrs.
M. E. Delano, a prominent resident of
the suburb of Brookline, Boston, Mass.
She says: For several years I was
broken in health, caused primarily by
stomach and nerve troubles. l gradu-
ally became worse, until recently was
compelled to go without solid food for
days at time. I had sour stomach,
palpitation of the nerves of stomach
