THE VESTS FREE ACRES.

The free acres of the far, West are beckoning the homeseekers this spring, For several months continuous stream of land seekers has been pour ing through the cities of St. Paul Omaha and Kansas City. enroute to the Golden Vest These land hun- gry citizens are recruited largely from the middle west, and a large percent age have already chosen their loca- tion and will establish homes upon arriving at their destination. A ma- Jority of these people are we'll SUD- piled with money, having sold their farms at good prices. The West well comes their coming, for it's greatest need is people.
 The public lands of the nation are rapidly diminishing. but the loss of acres is more than made up by the creation of individual homes and cul- tivated fields which replace the wide expanses of unproductive country.
 On all the irrigation projects of the government the influx of settlers is large, so large in fact the engineers are unable to extend the canal systems rapidly enough to meet the demands for additional farms.
 Today only four of the projects con- tain available government farms for which water is ready. On all the pro- jects the large holdings are being sub divided as required by law and nu- merous opportunities are offered to purchase desirable lands in the midst Of old established communities where the newcomer may enjoy a settled nelghborhOod, with schools. churches roads and first-class markets. These lands are attractive to men with am- pie means, as the hard work of get ting desert land ready for cultivat ton is largely eliminated.
 The Reclamation Service at Wash I11o tance in supplying informa ton con- corning the opportunities for home seekers on the several irrigation pro Jects. As long as these favora ble opportunities exist our patriotic citi- zens have no excuse for leaving their own country to take up homes under a foreign flag.

It is good to be able to record that
IN the great war now being waged
against Tuberculosis there are many
signal victories gained, not amongst
the least being the success attained
in home treatment. This is largely
due to the now simple and practical
manner of giving instruction in the
homes, where formerly the advice was
more complicated, less we'll under
stood and consequently was not heed
ed, if indeed, it were not regarded
with disfavor.
And more and more strongly are
eminent specialists coming to believe
in the remedial value of rest and the
danger of over fatigue, and this is be-
ing made very plain in the home in
'struction.

ment of tuberculosis absolute rest, Of
ten in bed, must be extended over a
period of months, before the consump-
tive should take any exercise He
says, Prolonged rest in bed out of
doors yields better results than any
other method of treating pulmonary
tuberculosis. Patients will have a
better. appetite and take more food
without discomfort and gain weight
and strength faster than patients with
active disease who are allowed to ex-
ercise. Complications are much less
frequent. When used in the incipient
stage, recovery is more rapid and
much more sure"
Mr. Ross, who is himself cured
consumptive. and writer of cons;d-
cradle prominence, holds that unless
resting becomes a business to the tu-
berculosis patient he might as we'll
give up his fight for health. "The peri

says, ''is not a vacation. 1t is a TWEEN
