125,0OO AMERICANS GO
TO CANADA IN 1911.
THE YEAR 1912 WILL SHOW A
GREAT INCREASE.

In a report of the House Committee
washington appears the following:
Canada offers a three-year home
stead upon good land, easily reclaimed
and cultivated, with six months leave
of absence each year and most lenient
regulations"
All Of which is true and 1t Is now
the part Of the careful reader to con-
slider the opportunities that exist in
Western Canada which, in addition to
the above, are attractive features.
The evidence of these is found in the
letters contributed by some Of the
settlers. For instance: A former Min
nesOtan, writing from Warner, South
ern Alberta, speaks Of that district,
but what he says, applies generally to
all Of Southern Alberta. He says:
Il have seen six crops, four Of them
were first class, one of them very
good crop, and the other a poor crop.
Government statistics for the last fif
teen years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches Of moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and in 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about
as good as | have seen in this coun-
try and we had about twelve inches Of
moisture, so that | am thoroughly con-
WINGED that with normal conditions,
that is, from twelve to fifteen inches
of moisture, and with the natural in
crease of population and immigration,
that Southern Alberta viii be one of
the very best mixed farming districts
In the world. We have good soil, good
water, and a good climate, and alto
gether just as desirable a country to
live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, or
Wisconsin"
Hundreds Of letters are on file from
former American settlers, which give
good reasons why the Western Can
ada lands are being settled so rapidly.
Full particulars can be had of any Ca
madam Government Agent, who will
furnish literature and give low rate
certificates. Excursions are being run
daily.

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited
by
Lydia z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound

The "change of life" is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense Of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. 1t
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds I'D
the weakened nervous system.
