cUmscribed by what Schopenhauer
called "a british Limitation TO the

usual cry Of the hero or the heroine Of
such novels. Il don't care who IS made

such ideas openly expressed. ii is no
wonder that Nietzsche scOrnfully de-
scribed the English conception of hap
piness as a striving after comfort a
saving Of their own miserable skins.
No glimmer of the value Of suffer
ing, self-sacrifice and self-control ever
seems to penetrate the pachydermatous
hides of these sOcalled heroes and
"heroines"
No doubt individuals of the kind do
exist in real life. but why choose to
write about maud1in mediOcrity2 The

Battles between right and wrong, body
and spirit. desire and aspiration, are

the hero in quest Of sneaking and sOr-

Women, both writer's and readers.
ought to be the pioneers in introduce

Women who bear children and re-

their systems in advance Of baby's
coming. Unless the mother aids
nature in It's prenatal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de-
mands made upon it, and she Is often
left with weakened health OF chronic
ailments. No remedy is so truly a
help to nature as Mothers Friend,
and no expectant mother should fail
to use It. 1t relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on
the ligaments, makes plant and elas-

nature is expanding, prevents numb

all his might The consequence was
it developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face
when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and it used to
itch and burn at night go bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with it at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. The.e are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement, and baby
is completely cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. We have no fur

WHY PEOPLE GO TO
CANADA

Those who are wondering why the
humber Of Americans going to Canada
year by year increases in the rates
that it does, would not be so surprised
We're 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
q. S. senate the other day, comprises
$50 acres of the most fertile soil and
with remarkably easy settlement con-
ditiOns. Then watch the results,
whether II be on this free homestead
of 100 acres or on land which he may
purchase at from SIS. TO $50. per acre,
fully as good as the 500. and $3.50.
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 legis-
lation, (which is very praiseworthy)
that will make the land laws of the
United States much easier.
1t 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

new found way up in Canada that
means wealth and health and all that
accompanies it.
William Johnston, who formerly
lived at Alexandria, Mimi, settled in
the Alberg District near Battle River
and in writing to one of the Canadian
Government agents, located in the
United States says: I'VE have had no
