THOUGHT MADE Hin HURRY
Recent Subject of Surgical Operation
Victim OF a Sudden and Hor-
ribie Thought.

"The late DR.. George w. Bailey of
New York" said a Presbyterian di-
vine, was thoroughly modern in his
methods, but he did think that some
of our surgeons went too far.
DR.. Bailey, apropos of certain reck-
less abusers of the knife, used to tell
a story Of an appendicitis club.
AT a meeting Of this club a pallid
member said:
We'll, friends, had to be reopen
ed last week. My doctor had left a
sponge inside me-
was re-opened, too said a gaunt
man. I was re-opened just ten days
ago. Prof. Cutler had forgotten to
remove a pair of forceps.'
AT this a demonstrating chap
groaned, jumped up, and made for the
door.
What's the natter they asked
him. Where are you off to in such a
Tush?'
I'm off to my doctor's,' the man
replied. I remember now that, just
after 1 came to, he complained about

CHiLD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUMOR

81 think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema 1 have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on its head when it
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but it did
no good. In a few days the head was
a solid mass, running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies
We got dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head

YIELD WILL BE RECORD ONE
Practically Beyond Reach of Accident,

On a beautiful Saturday afternoon
four weeks ago, the writer started for
a twenty-mile drive into the country
from one of the hundred or more new
towns that have been well started dur-
ing the past spring, in the Province of
Saskatchewan, in Western Canada.

continuous wheat field, the only relief
TO the scene being the roadways that
led back into other settlements.
where would have been repeated the
same great vista of wheat.
What a wealth! Here were hun
dSeds and thousands. and millions of
bushels Of what was declared to be g.
quality OF grain equal to any that has
ever been grown in the province. AS

toba was contemplating how much he
would realize out of his crop, now
past any danger of accident, over
what his anticipations were two
months ago. One man said to ME:
"The profits of that field of wheat will
give me sufficient money to purchase

way company is asking $4,000, and

the benefcent sun, is being laid low
by the reaper, stacked and threshed
by the thousands of hands required to
do it, and in great wagons is being
taken to the elevator.
A nights ride by train took us
through 225 miles of this great prov
ince of SaSkatchewan-irto the south
western part-and from appearances
it might have been as though a trans.
fer had been made across a township.
There were wheat fields, cat fields,
barley fields and fax fields, and many
more that could not be seen. Yet
there they were, and during the night

farm homes, splendidly built cities

the most thoroughly equipped schools.
While talking with a Southern Sas,
katchewan farmer he said that the
land he was working, and for which
he had been offered $50 an acre had
been purchased five years ago for SIP
an acre, but he won't sell. He is
making a good profit on his land at
$50 an acre, and why should he sell?
Farther north, land was selling at
from SIS to SIS and $40 an acre. 1t
was learned afterward that the soil
was similar to that in the south. the
price of which today is $50 an acre,
The climate was similar and the mar
kets as good. In fact the only differ
ence was that today these northern
lands occupy the same position that
the more southerly ones did five years
ago. and there are found many who

he could do the same and still have
balance in the bank. Flax produces
wonderfully well, and the current
price is about $3.50 per bushel. We
then drove over into another town
ship, getting further back from the
railway, and the main travelled road.
Here we found ourselves in the center
of a Swedish settlement. Those form
ing the settlement were originally
from Nebraska. Invited to put up our
horses and stay over for dinner, and
a dinner that was enjoyed not only on
account of the generous appetite Gre
ated by the exhilaratins drive, but
also because of the clean linen, the
well-prepared dishes of roast fowl, po-
tatoes, cabbage, and a delightful des-
sert, some of the history Of the settle
ment was learned. The host and
hostess were modest in describing
their own achievements, and equally
modest as to those of their friends,
but enough was learned to satisfy us
that they had come there about three
years ago. in moderate, almost poor,
circumstances. Most Of them had re-
ceived their homesteads as a gift from
the government, and by careful dill
gence had purchased and paid for adj
Joining land. They had plenty, of cat
tie and horses, some sheep and hogs,
and large well-kept gardens, showing
an abundance of potatoes and cabbage
snd other vegetables Their buildings
were good. Schools were in the neigh
borhood and there was evidence or
comfort everywhere.
