THE PEEVISH CHILD
 NEEDS TREATMENT

When a child sulks drowsily, or is fretful, 1t is usually due to some slight disorder of the digestive organs. and mild laxative Is very often all that Is necessary to restore cheerfulness and buoyancy of spirits.
 In cases where the use of gentle, effective laxative stimulant Is indi- cated, many of the best physicians are now prescribing Dr. Caidwelrs Syrup Pepsin. This preparation Is admitted ly the perfect laxative, being mild, yet positive In it's action on the bowels, and far preferable to violent cathart- les and purgative waters. It Is very pleasant to the taste and Is an ideal remedy to regulate and strengthen the stomach, liver and bowels. It's easy, natural action makes 1t especially de- sirable in the case of children, dose at bedtime being sure to have the de- sired result next morning. with no at- tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
 Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is sold by druggists everywhere in 60c and s1.oo bottles. If you have never tried this splendid remedy. write to pr. w. B. Caldwell, 201 Washington St. Mon- ticello. H., for a sample. He will be very glad to send trial bottle with out any expense to you whatever.

SneItlno the Matter. Anyhow.

Little Harold lives in Broad Ripple Ills mother got him ready for bed one cold night, and to be sure he would be warm enough during the night she took extra precautions, re lates the Indianapolis News. After she had put on his little fuzzy paja mas she tucked him carefully in be tween the wool blankets. Then. to make doubly sure she got a hot water bottle for him-and the youngster was apparently as snug as could be with only his little nose sticking out from beneath the covers.
 When his mother had finished the tucking-in job she turned down the light. Soon the entire family was in bed But Harold is like most young sters. He loves his mother. and wish. es lots of attention. So in his child mind he figured out way to get her to his bed.
 Mamma" he walled. I'm cold,"
 Nonsense, son," replied his moth. CT, and she never made move to go to his rescue
 The little boy tried the opposite.
 Well, I'm hot, them" he yelled.

WHY PEOPLE GO TO
 CANADA

Those who are wondering why the number of Americans going to Canada year by year increases in the rates were they to accompany one of the numerous excursions that are being run under the auspices of the Govern ment from several of the states. and remain with the settler until he gets onto the free homesteads, which. as stated by Speaker Champ Clark, in the U. $. senate the other day. comprises 160 acres of the most fertile soil and with remarkably easy settlement con ditions. Then watch the results, whether 1t be on this free homestead of 160 acres or on land which he may purchase at from sl5. 10 S20. per acre, fully as good as the s100. and $150. per acre land of his native state. and which his means will not permit his purchasing. On the part of the mem bers of the U. s. Senate and Congress there Is nothing but praise for Canada. Canadian laws and Canadian lands al- though the reasonable desire Is shown in their remarks, that they pass iegis- lation, (which is very praiseworthy) that will make the land laws of the United States much easier.
 It Is the success of the American settler in Canada that attracts others. and when experiences such as the fol- lowing are related to the friend back home" Is it any wonder that increased interest is aroused and determina- ton arrived at, to participate in the newfound way up in Canada that means wealth and health and all that accompanies 1t.
 William Johnston, who formerly lives at Alexandria. Minn., settled in the Alberg District near Battle River and in writing to one of the Canadian Government agents, located in the United States says: We have had no failures of crops during our nine years in Canada. I threshed 1908 bushels of wheat and 1883 bushels of oats in 1911. off my 160 acres. This Is a beautiful country. keep six good work horses and milk seven COWS, getting good prices for butter and eggs. We get our coal for s2.00 per ton at the mine, about one mile from the farm. Am about enc and half miles from fine school. As for the cold weather 1t is much milder here than in Minnesota, where l lived for 21 years. Our well is 35 feet deep and We have fine wa ter. Wild land is selling for SIS. to $25. per acre. Improved farms are II the country, and would not sell unless l got big price. as We have all done well here"
 Good reasons to account for the number going to Canada.
