Able Bodied Men Who Can
Pass Examination

| Sergeant Kresky, in charge of the
Cairo recruiting station, has receiv-
| ed orders from headquarters to en-
| list all applicants who can stand
| satisfactory examination for all
branches of the service. Orders re-
ceived during the winter called for
the enlistment only of previous SER
vice men and for certain branches of
the army.
Previous service men are desired
above others to fill vacancies In the
numbers OF the army. Orders to take
all corners means that Uncle Sam is
not exercising any whims of mind.
With matters in regard to the Next
can situation warming up the opin
ion is held by many that the army
is to be recruited to considerably
over the usual number.
Commanders OF the National
Guard over the country have been
instructed to fill their commands TO
the limit imposed
An activity not experienced since
the Spanish war is prevalent in
military circles from coast to coast
and by orders received in Cairo by
the army recruiting station and Ma

isolated Cairo from the surrounding
country a week or more and direct

FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST

To tho head of every family tho
health OF its different members is
most important, and the value OF an
agreeable laxative that is certain in
its effect is appreciated. One Of the
most popular remedies in the family
medicine chest is a combination OF
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
Is known to druggists and physicians
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
preparation Is mild and gentle In its
action on the bowels, yet positive In
its effect. A dose Of Syrup Pepsin at
night means relief next morning,
while Its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles of stomach,
liver and bowels SO that these organs
are able in a short time to again per-
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and $1.O0
bottles. If you have never tried this
simple, inexpensive, yet effective
remedy, write to DR.. w. B. Caldwell,
201 Washington ST., Monticello, Ill.,,
and ask for a sample bottle. DR.. Cald-
we'll will be glad to send 1t without
any expense to you whatever.

So much has been written regarding
the great amount Of money made out
Of growing wheat in the prairie prov

Alberta, Western Canada. that many
other products of the farms are over
looked. These provinces will always
grow large areas of wheat-both
spring and winter-and the yields will
continue to be large, and the general
average greater than In any other
portion Of the continent. Twenty, thir-
ty, forty, and as high as fifty bushels
per acre of wheat to the a~cre-yields

also done by wheat raised in Sas-
katchewan during last November at
the New York Land Show. And then.
there Is the barley, with its big yields.
and it's excellent samples. Another
money-maker, and a big one Is flax.
The growing of flax is extensively car
ried on in Western Canada. The
writer has before him a circular is
sued by a prominent farmer at Saska-
toon. The circular deals with tho
treatment of seed fax, the seeding
and harvesting, and attributes yields
Of less than 20 bushels per acre, to
later seeding, imperfect and illy-pre-
pared seed. He sowed twenty-five
pounds of seed per acre and had q
yield Of Twenty-Five bushels per acre.
This will probably dispose of at $3.50
per acre. Speaking Of proper prepa-
ration Of seed and cultivation Of soil
and opportune sowing, in the circular
spoken of there is cited the case Of a
Mr.. White, living fourteen miles
south of Rosetown, "who had fifteen
acres of summer fallow a year ago
last summer, upon which he produced
thirty-three bushels to the acre, when
many in the district harvested for
want of crop. Now, there can be no
proper eason advanced why such a
crop should not have been produced
on all the lands of the same quality
in the adjacent district, provided they
had been worked and cared for in the
same manner This year 1911) the
same man had one hundred acres of
summer fallow. had something over
$500 bushels Of wheat. He also had
1900 bushels of oats and 800 bushels
of flax"
There are the cattle. the horses, the
roots and the vegetable products OF
Western Canada farms, all OF which
individually and collectively deserve
special mention, and they are treated
of in the literature sent out on appH-
cation by the Government agents.
