To Abort the SneeZe,

Many people are embarrassed by
uncomfortable fits of sneezing in
public places, which make them
very conspicuous. 1t can be easily
stopped. Just press firmly upon the
middle of the upper lip with the
finger and the tickling sensation in
the nose will disappear. 1t rarely
fails. The theory is that nerve,
which plays an important par in
the sneezing, lays under the lip, and
is paralyzed by the pressure OH the
lip.

Rich Land Along New Lines Of Railway at
SIS to $40 per acre

Are you farming for pleasure or
profit? If for profit, consider this
Saskatchewan soil is capable of rails
ing from twenty to forty bushels of
wheat per acre. Saskatchewan grew
last year 9O,215, 1000 bushels OF
wheat; los, 465,000 bushels of oats;
7,S33,000 bushels of barley, and
4,44S,70O bushels of flax; and yet
the land cultivated was only one
twentieth of the acres of the pro-
vince. There are millions of acres
still available for settlers. These
lands yield banner crops of wheat,
oats and all small grains, and they
cannot be surpassed for mixed farm
ing and dairying. Conveniently To-
Gated markets at points assist the
farmers to dispose of their produce
at the highest prices.
You can sell your higher-priced
land and buy outright a larger tract
of the choicest land in Saskatchewan
ideally located, pay all your moving
expenses, and have enough money
left to build your house and barns
and fence your own new farm. Or
if you are now a renter you can pay
down from $500 to 5000 for
choice quarter section and the bal
ance in five years, which you can
make out of the crops. For in
stance, on a 160-acre farm at SIS
an acre, you would make a cash
payment of only $3.50. Both the
man with considerable and the man
with only a small bank account will
find opportunity, health and happi-
ness here. Good neighbors, easy
access to markets, excellent schools
and churches.

HOW PAPERS GET RICH

An exchange recently received the following unique letter.
 Send me a few copies of the pa per which has the obituary and yers- es about the death of my child a week ago. You will publish the en. closed slip about my niece's marriage and wish you would mention in your local columns that my wife will be at home Thursdays; and, if it don't cost any thing, that I am going to give a concert and hat my bro ther Bill has few extra bull calves to sell. Send a couple of extra copies of the paper this week. but as my time is out you can stop my paper, as times are too hard to waste mOn- ey on newspapers.

CONDITIONS NEED CHANGING

President Taft says that the tariff IS all right. that the republican party IS all right. and that everything is all right. People who are paying about three prices for the necessities of life may be pardoned for not en- tirely agreeing with the genial chief executive. We are just pessimistic enough to declare that everything is all wrong. all right, and if conditions are not changed. a democratic presi- dent will occupy the seat of honor as soon as the American voters get chance 10 say a word.-Seward Gateway.

SOLVING A PROBLEM.

The Green Country Brakeman Who In.
 trodueed the Saw By"
 Many years ago green country boy applied to the superintendent of a western railway for work and, some what against the superiutendents wish. on account of the danger to life and limb attendant upon such occupa- ton. was given place as brakeman of freight train.
 On one of his first trips it happened that his train met another freight train at station where the sldetracE was not long enough to accommodate either of them. The conductors were debating which train should back up to point where they could pass when the new hand ventured to suggest that neither should back; that they could pass each other by means of the short sldetracE if the thing was managed right
 The idea excited a good deal of laughter on the part of the old train- men. but the boy stood his ground.
 Well, how would you go about it' asked one of the conductors, confident thot the lad would soon find himself

AN ELECTIVE LEGISLATURE

On Feb. i3 Senator Frazier of Ten nessee gave notice on the floor of the Senate that if the Beveridge bin was ever seriously considered he would amend by making the Alaska legis. Iature elective,
 On that occasion Senator Frazier said.

 Mr. Beyeridge. Elected by the peo- pie of course.
 Mr. Frazier. And with many re- scricrions which were not embodied in this bill evenafter it was attended to by the committee. The Delegate pre- sented to the committee a great deal of evidence tending to show at least that the people of Alaska want a bill similar to the one which be intro  duced and advocated. He presented to the committee the platform resolu- uons of the Republican convention which nominated him as delegate, and Of an other Republican body, indepen ent Republicans. and also of the Dem ocrats. all of those political bodies indorsing a territorial form of govern ment with an elective legislature. He also presented before the committee a great deal of evidence showing that the public press of that territory are almost unanimous in opposition to this bin and in favor of a territorial form of government with an elect i've legislature. I have in my posses sion here telegrams from various or ganizations. both industrial organiza- tions and municipal organizations, an  rom mayors Of towns in Alaska, pro testing against the passage of this bill.

have explained the word educate
| (educate-to lead out) and then pro-
ceeded to cram the student with can
ner' knowledge! Fortunately for the
race there have always been exceptions
rarely gifted teachers, who, like
Wordsworth, have added sunshine to
daylight by making the happy happier;
who have taught the young and gra-
cious OF every age to see and think and
feel and therefore to become masters
Fof their own neutrality-suspicious. of their
own souls!
Since psychology has come into its
own and is fast becoming an applied
science, the teachers and parent are
finding out the way the truth and the
light. The old outworn methods are
being supplanted by those conforming
to the natural unfolding OF the child's
inner beauty on all planes Of express
sion.
The higher education OF women IL no
longer an open question. Let a girl
get all the education she can take and
take all the education she can get, de-
clares the spirit Of today. That moth
er belonged to a by-gone society who
feared her daughter would not be a
social success If she cultivated her
brain.
Such mothers are short sighted
though their hearts may be tender and
loving. Theyehave but to look into the
expressionless faces of the uneducated
mountain women Of 30 and 40 to find
that an undeveloped mentality is the
favorable soil for wrinkles, sallow skin
and faded eyes.
They have but to study the counte-
nances Of the intelligent, cultivated,
thinking women of our great cities to
find that youth abides In the bright
eye, the uplifted head and the sweet
mouth of her who uses her brain pow
er and brings it to fairer submits of
learning. With such woman age
loses its hold upon the very fibers of
her face. and youth sits enthroned.
After ALL the right school is the one
that is genuine simple home for the
earnest child to develop its latent pow
ers. The right school is the one that
works from the spirit out; that en-
virons the plastic character with an
atmosphere radiant with truth, Joy,
ease and mirth; one that avoids the
deadly leveling processes.
This is distinctly an age when edu-
cational equipment is absolutely neces-
sary to men and women who desire to
be participants in the forces making
for higher civilization
There has come into American life
during the past decade a change in the
social attitude OF mind toward chill
kdren, the like of which is not true OF
any other country, or of any previous
period. Shall we fail in recognizing
the fact that our children are entitled
to such valuation? Shall the child Of

NEW IDEALS IN EDUCATION.

OF all the arts, education is most
liable to disqualification, and crystalli
zation is a danger to be averted, not a
tendency to be assisted by all the pres
sure that can be brought to bear from
the finer forces of mind and spirit.
If this is the century of the child then
is education in its new and vital mean
ing the proper study of parents and
teachers.
Our age cries out for individuality,
and 1t is during the early years that
education must aim to strengthen in
dividuality. Perhaps there is no more
important training necessary for the
child under twelve years than the
training of the emotions.
"All intellectual cultivation" says
an advanced thinker, done according
to the most excellent method, all So
cial feelings are worthless unless they
have as their basis an individual de-
velopment of the emotions.
Somewhere. in our body we must
have heart, to act as a real balance
against our head. Only the man who
mas learned to love few deep enough
to die for them, is able to live profit
ably for the many.
One of the best ways to keep in good
health is to keep busy, and interested.
Gymnastics should be given in bad
weather, but running, romping and
playing in Gods free out of doors,
where children are left to themselves,
is the. ideal exercise that liberates mind
and body.
One Of the crystallizing tendencies of
present methods is the forcing of abb
stract studies, such as grammar and
arithmetic, upon the very young mind.
How much more beneficial, to say
nothing of more natural, it is to lead
him to know the pebbles over which
he treads on his way to school, to
know the trees he passes, and the
names of flowers and stars, and birds
and grassesi Such knowledge puts the
young spirit in close touch with nature,
and ere long 1t begins to relate itself
to the beauties of the earth planet and
to awaken to his own spiritual inher-
itance 'Life-the life Of nature and
of man--this alone is the preparation
for life"

world Of man offers in the way Of liv-
ing forms, objects of beauty, types Of

by natural history, geography, history,
art and literature, give real value to
memory; can. teach the understanding
to observe. to judge and distinguish;
can train the feeling to become intense,
and through It's intensity combine the

alone is education. In brief. real things

where it was grown. All is of good
color and the wheat does not seem to
have suffered in the slightest from the

pared with those of last year at the

on to hasten maturity and possibly
will increase the output over even the
present estimate. Fears of shortage
have had a somewhat serious effect on
the market. but the slump in prices
shows that some spectators at least
