OFFICIAL INVITATION
TO AMERICANS
HOW ROBERT ROGERS, MINISTER
OF THE INTERIOR, IN WINNIPEG
ADDRESS, ISSUES WELCOME
OF AMERICANS TO WEST
ERN CANADA.

During the course Of reply to an
address presented to Hon. Robert Rog-
ers, the newly appointed Minister of
the Interior of Canada at banquet
given at Winnipeg in his honor that
gentleman spoke on immigration. The
tone of his remarks was that he intend
ed to pursue an aggressive and for
ward policy in the matter of immigra-
ton. In part, he Baid
1.-THE most important branch per-
haps of that department (lnterior) Is
that of immigration.
IF there is anything more than an
other we want here it is a greater pop
ulation, and 1t shall be my duty to pre-
sent to the people in all parts Of the
world where desirable emigrants are
to be found the advantages and the
great possibilities of this country. We
have received in the past reasonably
large immigration from south Of the
international boundary, and in this
connection let me say just a word for
our American cousins who have found
happy homes amongst US, and those
whom we hope to welcome in greater
numbers in the years to come. There
are hundreds of thousands of them in
our prairie provinces, happy in the en-
joyment of a freedom as great as they
ever knew, and all contributing in a
material way towards the development
of Canada. We are not blind to their
value as settlers. They come better
equipped with scientific farming
knowledge than most of our emf
grants, and constitute without doubt
the wealthiest class Of emigrants any
new country has ever known. AS
head Of the immigration department it
will be my privilege to offer them a
welcome hearty and sincere, and to
so contribute to their welfare that I'M
der the protecting folds Of the Union
Jack they will enjoy as great degree
of liberty and happiness as under the
Stars and Stripes. The Borden gov
eminent cherishes nothing but the
kindliest feelings for the people OF the
great republic to the south, and will
do all in its power to increase the
bonds of kinship and neighborly good
feeling that has SO long existed.
(Hear, hear.)
while we adopt a vigorous emf
grafton policy in that country, we will
also adopt the same vigorous policy in
other parts of the world. We will go
to England, Ireland and Scotland, and
every other country irrespective Of
race, creed or nationality, where we
can find suitable and desirable emf
grants for this great country. I think
much good work can be done in those
countries, and especially perhaps at
the present time in England. Ireland
and Scotland. Now, then, 1t will be
my duty to stir up that policy in the
most vigorous manner possible"

Much of the success attained by

their accurate measuring. Many

dishes that you always know the
amount to use: In other words. you
measure with your eyes. This is very
difficult to do and can only be done
after long experience Try and keep
a couple OF measuring cups, either
glass or tin, in your home. They do
not cost very much and will save you
a great deal OF trouble in teaching
your girls to cook.

Food Value of Fruit.

Here are few facts worth consid-
ering~ Baked apples are more nu-
tritious than baked potatoes. and will
produce more work. Dates. prunes.
figs. apricots and raisins are dried
fruits always available Instead Of
looking upon them as merely supple
mental food-like confectionery-we
should remember that they are really
among the most healthful. palatable
and concentrated of vegetable foods.
Among fresh fruits. bananas, ap-
pies, figs. grapes. blackberries. straw
berries and oranges have decided food
value and may be used as economical
sources of nourishment.

DON'T OPEN HUBBYS LETTERS
II Is a Breach of PoIiteness for the
Wife to Break the
Seal.

A wife is in doubt whether she
should open her husbands letters, and
implies her willingness to let him
open and read hers before they come
into her hands. There is no violation
of confidence involved in preference
to read ones correspondence before it
is so much as glanced over by the
eyes of another. A letter is bit Of
personal property, and it is breach
Of ordinary politeness to break its
seal. Wife and husband alike have
the privilege of opening their individ-
ual correspondence, and Of sharing
it together if they choose. AS no one
who is entirely polite opens closed
door without the formality of knock,
though the door belong to member
Of the family, and is the entrance to
an individual room, so no really polite
person opens without leave the CORE
spondence of another. 1t should be
taken for granted that married peo-
pie are mutually interested in one an
others letters. but 1t Is not to be inn
agined that they shall necessarily al
ways read every written scrap that
comes into the house for one or the
other. Married happiness is so per-
cious thing that it should be guard
ed with the greatest care, and If eth
er partner in the home discerns on
the horizon the smallest hint of
cloud, the duty is at once to take
measures to prevent a storm.-The

conclusion that the only makeup is
, the opening and closing speech.
Wood & Ward, realizing this state Of

and dialogue that would necessitate
the introduction of either chorus

Just what they were looking for;
with the vehicle of their desire at
hand they engaged a strong singing
