WHY PEOPLE GO TO
CANADA

Those who are wondering why the
number 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
nlent 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. s. senate the other day, comprises
100 acres of the most fertile soil and
with remarkably easy settlement con-
ditions. Then watch the results,
whether it be on this free homestead
of 100 acres or on land which he may
purchase at from SIS. to $40. 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 men,
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
fin 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
home" is it any wonder that increased
interest is aroused and a determine
tioh arrived at, to participate in tbs
new-found way up in Canada that
means wealth and health and all that
accompanies it.
William Johnston, who formerly
lived at Alexandria, MINI, settled in
the Alberg District near Battle River
and in writing to one Of the Canadian
Government agents, located in the
United States says: 1--WE have had nc
failures of crops during our nine years
in Canada. l threshed 1908 bushels o.
wheat and 1858 bushels of oats in 1911

Good reasons to account for tn
number going to Canada.

|!E|FE COAL MINERS
Are Religious, Devoted to Their
Homes and Families.
Husbands Take Pride in Seeing Their
Wives Well Dressed-Accident
viii Cause Entire Town
to Mourn.

Broughty Ferry, Seotland.-Having
q relative engaged in one Of the pits
at Bowhill, busy mining district, the
writer has been privileged to learn by
living among them much OF the daily
life of the Fife miner. Taking the first
shift, the miner leaves home in time
to reach his work at six O'clock. He
does not return till he knocks off at
two.
The wife of the miner has long
day to get her household duties at
tended to. She is not an early riser,
and getting the children off to school
occupies her morning to the full. They
pop into each others houses at any
time and are, dependent on each 9th
er in cases of sickness. A washer
woman is difficult to obtain. Wages
are good and the miner does not care
to see his wife going out to work. The
husbands take great pride in seeing
their wives stylishly dressed. and it is
sight to see them out for church on
q Sunday. The women will send far
Ito get their millinery up to date. Their
taste is good on the whole, though II
lis largely initiative.
The houses are built in rows, and
in the end house perhaps a clerk OF
overseer has his abode; his wife is
usually from the city and has smart
tastes. She is closely watched, ant
whatever she gets new to wear is gen
orally what is worn by the whole row
in few weeks.

Mr.. A., who was planning "

back of his house, had an expensive
new saw sent home from hardware

afternoon, with the intention OF get

he came tramping into the house, his

himself down in disgust.

FRUIT CAN BE COOKED DELI
CIOUSLY.
Bv Martha McCuIIoch Williams.

By Martha McCuIloch Williams.
A French woman, student OF medl-
cine, has just won her doctors de-
gree with a paper on scientific COOK
cry. In it she impresses forclbly the
fact tlat good feeding is not merely
necessary to good health, but essen
tial to it's restoration. Further, she
sets forth that the Stops and messes
to which invalids are commonly con-
demned not merely have no reason OF
being, but that they are positively
hurtful. They cverwork stomachs 81
ready weak, in sympathy with deDlll-
tated bodies: worse still there is no
commensurate return for the work IN
the way Of nourishment. Yet, it is
manifestly impossible for sick or weak
or ailing folk, old people and little
children, to feed upon the hearty
things or those highly spiced and
sauced, which suit healthy persons OF
strong appetites and stronger dlges-
tons.
Right here comes in The paper bag
cookery. BY help of it, food is made
tender, easily digested and favored as
nature wills, with only the added saw
ors that fire brings out. Not only
meat and vegetables, but fruit as we'll.
The French lady lays stress upon the
fact ttiat fruit is almost curative for
many things if properly prepared.
Fruit cooked in paper bag is Who'll
ly sanitary. There is, further, no
trouble of watching, Of stirring, no
apprehension Of scorching.
Peaches should be scalded in boil
ing water for minute and a half,
then the skins removed, and the fruit,
on the seed, put to stew in lightly
buttered bag. Add tablespoonful OF
water for a dozen large peaches-less
if they are very juicy. Cook for &c
minutes in fairly hot oven, stacking
heat a third after five minutes from
tho putting in. The seed gives ar
adorable bitter-almond flavor, Ado
sugar to taste, while the fruit is very
hot, and let stand several hours be

Meeker, Colo.-To deliberately
climb a tree, unarmed, in pursuit OF
a mountain lion, follow the beast out
to the farthermost limb, and, as 1t
