The PRICE OF
LAND INCREASING
THE "HAcK TO THE LAND" CRY
10 EFFECTIVE.

Travelling through the state Of Iowa
the other day. and Iowa is no excep-
ton to the story about to be related.
the writer was shown farm that was
offered three years ago for $3.50 an
acre. That appeared to be high fig
ure for land upon which the owner
depended upon the crops Of corn. hogs
ana cattle that could be raised upon
Il. But It wasn't. A few weeks since
the farm changed hands at $325 an
acre. Over in Illinois, down in In
diana, up in Wisconsin. across the
line in Minnesota, the same expert
ence was met with. And then atten-
ton Is directed to Canada, which has
been the Mecca Of so many hundred,
thousand Americans during the past
few years. Not only in Eastern Can
ada has the price Of lands increased.
but in Western Canada, during the
past few weeks, farm lands have In
creased from three to five dollars an
acre, with the prospect of similar
advance during the next three months.
The reason for this 10 very apparent.
AID In few words 1t may be pointed
out that the lands are worth great
deal more than the present prices.
The Northwestern Agriculturist Of
Minneapolis, q paper that was one Of
the first Of the American farm papers
to discover the real merits of the
lands of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and
Alberta, says: THE reciprocity sched-
ule would encourage American farm
ers to move to Canada where the vir-
gin soil will produce greater crops OF
grain with less labor than can be pro-
duced In our own farms In the North
west. The result will be to enhance
land values in Canada" This paper
Ia afraid land values In Canada will be
enhanced at the expense Of land
values In the United States. In face
of the fact that land values in the
United States are increasing the rea-
soning scarcely holds. The reason for
the advance In value of Canadian
lands is partly accounted from the
fact. admitted by this paper, that Can
ada's virgin soil will produce greater
crops of grain with less labor" But
that is not the only reason. During
the past twelve months $4,000 peo-
pie have made Canada their home and
these are mostly Of the farming class.
They want farms. and the demand as
well as the wealth of the soil is regu-
lating the price. A study Of the in
crease in the acreage of land put I'M
= p
from any Canadian government repre-
sentative. will prove the point, that
the demand is increasing at greater
ratio than even the most sanguine
would have predicted.

To this affiiction was added, some
years ago, trouble with my heart
that was very painful, accompanied
by q smothering sensation and faint
ness.
Dyspepsia, also. came to make life
harder to bear. took all sorts of pat
emit medicines but none of them helped
me for any length of time.
THE doctors frequently told me
that coffee was not good for me; but
without coffee felt as II I had no
breakfast I finally decided about 2
years ago to abandon the use of cof-
fee entirely. and as had read great
deal about Postum concluded to try
that for Q breakfast beverage.
y liked the taste of II and was par
uculariy pleased to notice that It did
not come up as coffee used to. The
bad spells with my heart grew less
and less frequent. and finally ceased
altogether, and have not had an at
tack OF sick headache for more than
year. My digestion is good, too, and

quitting coffee and using Postum.

There's q reason" and II is this.
Coffee has direct action on the liver
with some people. and causes partial
congestion of that organ preventing
the natural outlet of the secretions.
Then may follow biliousness. sallow
skin. headaches. constipation and final
ly a change of the blood corpuscles
and nervous prostration.
