125,00O AMERICANS GO
TO CANADA IN 1911.
THE YEAR 1912 WILL SHOW A
GREAT INCREASE.

In 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 10 con-
slider the opportunities that exist In
Western Canada which, In addition 10
the above, are attractive features.
The evidence of these is found in the
letters contributed by some or 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 a 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 will 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 country tc
live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, OF
/ Wisconsin"
Hundreds of letters are on file from

good reasons why the Western Can
ada lands are being Settled so rapidly

bic way to get rid of these places is
to take internal treatment. Pure
blood is the one unfailing cure for
chronic ulcers; just as long as the
circulation is allotped to remain in
an impure condition the place wil
be kept open from the constant dis
charge of impurities into il from

old ulcers and sores. Ii goes into
the circulation, and remoUes euery
