HARD TO DROP,
But Many Drop 1T.

A young Calf wife talks about cot
fee:
1t was hard to drop Mocha and Java
and give Postum trial, but my nerves
were so shattered that | was a nervous
wreck and of course that means all
kinds of ails
''At first / thought bicycle riding
caused it and I gave it up, but my
condition remained unchanged. l did
not want to acknowledge coffee caused
the trouble. for | was very fond of it.
AT that time a friend came to live with
us. and I noticed that after he had
been with us a week he would not
drink his coffee any more I asked
him the reason. He replied, I have
not had headache since / left off
drinking coffee, some months ago, till
last week, when began again, here at
your table. / don't see how anyone
can like coffee, anyway, after drinking
Postum!'
Il said nothing, but at once ordered
a package of Postum. That was five
iuOHluS ago, anu we nave drank no
coffee since, except on two occasions
when we had company, and the result
each time was that my husband could
not sleep, but lay awake and tossed
and talked half the night We were
convinced that coffee caused his suffer
ing, so he returned to Postum, con-
WINGED that coffee was an enemy, IN
stead of friend and he is troubled
no more by insomnia
I, myself, have gained pounds
in weight, and my nerves have ceased
to culver. 1t seems so easy now to
quit coffee that caused our aches and
ails and take up Postum

EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO HE HAD
LESS THAN THREE DOLLARS.
He Is Now One of the Richest Farm
ers in Saskatchewan, Central

ers in Saskatchewan, Central
Canada.
Arriving in Canada in 1891, just
eighteen years ago, e. A. Gulllemln,
could speak but his native language.
He is a Frenchman He had but
little over 81 in his pocket, thus be-
ing short over 81 of the $40 required
to secure entry for homestead or
100 acres. He eventually borrowed
the money, and, near Forget, Sas-
katchewan, he started life in Canada
on the homestead in which to-day he
is the fortunate possessor of fifty quar-
ter sections of land, or 5000 acres.
Now Mr.. Guillemin did not acquire
all these acres as a result altogether
of his farming operations, which were
extensive He looked with satlsfac-
ton upon what he was doing on his
limited area, he was saving, careful
and had foresight Surrounding land
could be had for about So per acre,
and he continued buying as his saw
ings would permit, until now he has
fifty quarter sections, some or whlcn
he can sell at $50 per acre.
Threshed Fifty Thousand Bushels.
This year he was engaged in thresh-
ing on his place for 541a days. He
threshed out $4,000 bushels of wheat,
of which he sold $4,000 bushels, one
train load, at a price varying from
81 to 81 cents per bushel. He has ON
hand still 10000 bushels. In addition
to wheat he raised 10000 bushels of
oats, 1000 bushels of barley and 500
bushels of flax. He owns 104 horses
and a number of cattle, but since the
construction of the railway he has
been engaged chiefly in raising wheat.
This year he bought his first threshlng
machine, paying for it the sum OF
S2,1OO. He estimates that the machine
earned for him this fall $4,000, thus
paying for itself in one season, and
leaving him 5000 to the good. The
weather was very propitious for farm
threshing, not a single day being lost
in the two months which were spent
in this work. The wheat averaged %
bushels to the acre and graded No.
/ and No. Northern. In the past
nine years, seven good crops have
been harvested on this farm. For six
successive years the returns were ex-
cellent, that is in the years 1901, 1902,
1903, 1904, 1905 and 1906. In the two
following years there was a partial
failure. AS the years have passed the
quality of the buildings on the farm
have been steadily improved, and are
now as good as can be found in the
district. About $4,000 has been in
vested in this way by Mr.. Guillemin.
The farm consists of $3.50 acres, of
which about 5000 acres were under
crop this season.

Uncle Sans Health Zone Far Spread

In addition to keeping themselves
and the home Office informed regard
ing the prevalence of cholera, yellow
fever, smallpox, typhus and plague,
these officials are required to inspect
American-bound vessels and to issue
bills of health, without which the YES
sells might not enter American ports.
During the last fiscal year they in
spected 16,7 66 vessels and examined
1,493,134 passengers. On board ship
the regulations of these officials fol-
low the immigrant, requiring proper
cleanliness and ventilation, and when
the vessel arrives in the United States
1t Is met by another set of health
service officers on duty either to en-
force quarantine rules or to assist
the immigration officials in their work.
In the latter capacity the public
health men last year examined 1885,
900 immigrants, certifying 10000 Of
them as defective either mentally OF
physically.
The paper also abounds in facts
relative to the work of the bureau in
preventing the spread of infectious
diseases from one state to another I'M
der the quarantine law, making espe-
cial reference to the work in connec-
ton with recent yellow-fever epidem-
les and the plague infection on the
Pacific coast of a few years ago.
