Two Very Old Ladies'.

We have heard a great deal lately
about long-lived people, but 1t ia prob
able that the oldest two people in the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem. in Prus-
sian Poland. and was born on Febru-
airy Fl, 1885. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter, however. 10 nine months
her senior, having been born in May,
1874.
She is still a fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked in the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100. and these now
make her a joint allowance. She lives
at the village Of Bavelsko, whose
neighborhood she has never quilted
during the whole Of her long life. She
remembers events which happened al
the beginning Of last century much
more clearly than those OF, the last
40 y~ears.-Dundee Advertiser.

A disagreement about advertising arose
with a weekly" Journal.
Following 1t, an attack on US appeared IN
their editorial columns; sneering at the claims
we made particularly regarding Appendicitis.
We replied through the regular papers and
the weekly thought we hit back rather too
hard and thereupon sued for libel.
The advertisement the weekly" attacked
us about claimed that in many cases OF appen-
dicitis an operation could be avoided by dis

bowels and taking q predigested food Grape
Nuts.

He was put on the stand and compelled to

knowledge Of appendicitis and never investi-

our Co. were genuine.

Sergeant McNeiII to Have Charge Of
This Crop.


Jackson.-Dr. j. G.. G%athings, the
new superintendent Of the Mississippi
farms, has outlined his plans for the
coming administration of this vast
property, and, being a practical farm
er, will try to make each of the farms
self-sustaining.
Oakley farm, in past years, has been
used more generally as a place for
sick convicts to recuperate, but un-
der the management of DR.. Gathings
Oakley will become, 1t is believed,
more than self-sustaining. An expert
enced farmer, Mr.. Mcneil, recently on
the Parchman farm, will be in charge
of the tobacco and vegetable farm at
Oakley, and it Is intended to make
these products a feature of Oakley In
future. Tobacco, 1t has been shown,
will be a paying crop. The land is
well adapted to tobacco raising, while
it is in what is known as the trucking
district of Mississippi, and the finan
cial returns from this source alone
should be large.

thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep we'll from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.

we did not use all of them until he

EXCELLENT TRADE In
WESTERN CANADA
SPLENDID CROPS, BIG PRICES,
AND PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK
FOR THE FUTURE.

Throughout all of Canada, and espe-
cially in the Western Provinces Of
Canada, there is buoyancy in every
line of business that is fully war
ranted by every condition. The crops
of the past year were what was ex-
pected, and the prices for grain of all
kinds, put the farmers in a class by
pendent, and many others have got
well started on the road. The latest
reports are that seeding is we'll under
way in almost every district, and the
prospects are that vastly larger area
than that under crop last year will
be seeded early this spring. In the
Lethbridge district, in Southern Al
berta, steam and gasoline outfits, hun.
dreds of them, are breaking up the
prairie at a tremendous pace, but
they work night and day. AS soon as
1t becomes dark, gangs are changed,
head light attached, and on, on
through the night until the first
streak of dawn, these giant monsters
with their seven or eight gangs of
breaking plows, keep up the work.
Then the more modest farmer is put
ting in the longest hours possible with
his teams of horses or oxen. And
what will the Country be like in Au-
gust, when these fields have become
yellowed with the literally golden
grain. There will be one vast ex-
panse of wheat field. And there VIII
be market for it, because it is the
best grain grown, and the demand
will be everywhere. AS previously in
timated business throughout Western
Canada is sound and good. The grain
production of 1909 has been the great
factor in establishing the reputation
of Western Canada, and it is worth
talking about. 1t surpassed all previ-
Gus records, both in regard to quality
and quantity, and such an achieve
ment was by no means easy. The
limit has not been reached, and
large average increase may be ex-
pected during the next ten years.
There will be odd seasons when
falling-off will occur, and it is the fall
ing-off that causes alarms and panics
In the commercial world. The plains
have done their duty so far in the
output of grain and it would be rea-
sonable to make occasional allowances
for slowing-up. The faster the rate OF
increase is now, the sharper will be
the check when the production dimin-
ishes. But there are some unreaSon-
able people who wonder why the
growth of one year is not continued
during the next, and at an even faster
rate. These same unreasonable peo-
pie are the ones who see flaws in the
situation as soon as an indication is
given that the startling advances have
not been maintained.
