hams Vegetable Compound I improved
rapidly and today am a well woman. I
cannot tell you how happy / feel and I
cannot say too much for your Compound.
Would not be without it In the house if
It cost three times the amount Mrs.
CHAs. CHAPMAN, R F. D. No. z, Belle
vue, Ohio.
Because your case is a difficult one,
doctors having done you no good, do not
continue to suffer without giving Lydia
Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound q
trial. It surely has remedied many
cases of female ills, such as infiamma-
ton, liberation, displacements, tunors,
Irregularities, periodic pains, backache,
and it may be exactly what you need.
The Pinkham record is a proud and
peerless one. It is a record of constant
victory over the obstinate ills of woman
ills that deal out despair. 1t is an es-
tablished fact that Lydia E. Pinkhan's
Vegetable Compound has restored
health to thousands of such suffering
women. Why don't you try it if you
need such q medicine?

DRINKS THAT REFRESH
DELICIOUS BEVERAGES EASILY
WITHIN REACH OF ALL.
ingredients Called for Will as a Rule
Have Permanent Place in the
Household, and Preparation
Is Easy.
BY Ida AMEs WILLIS.

Milk Shake.-You can easily prepare
this at home and exactly to the family
taste. Fill your glasses two-thirds full
OF good rich sweet milk and sweeten
each to suit the taste with any fruit
sirup, or the boiled sugar strip fla
vored with vanilla, orange flower wa.
ter, preserved fruit or melted jelly
Fill glasses with cracked ice and shake
together until we'll mixed and frothed
Lemonade, Macedoine.-Slice four
lemons and two oranges over cup OF
granulated sugar placed in a glass
dish. Bpuise them well into the sugar,
and stir, removing the seeds. Pour
over it quart of cold water Add two
tablespoonfuls crushed strawberries,
slices of ripe pineapple Let stand for
an hour on ice and then strain and
serve
Lemon Punch, la Russe.-Pare the
thin yellow rind from five small or
four large juicy lemons. Take the
pulp, with seeds removed, the yellow
rind and two tablespoonful of best
green tea; pour over this pint of wa
ter freshly boiled and let steep ten
minutes, but do not allow it to come to
boiling point. Strain it over a pound
Of sugar, over which you have
squeezed the juice of two more lem
ons. Add another pint of water and
place on ice to chill.
Soda Cocktail.-F'ill your glasses
with lemon soda, add as much rasp-
berry strip as desired, with a thin
slice of pineapple on top of each
glass.
Soda Dissolve twelve
Jumps of sugar in little water, or use
three tablespoonfu1s plain sugar strip.
Add the juice of four lemons. Pour
into a pitcher over cracked ice; add
three bottles of club soda thoroughly
chilled, and one and one-half large
juicy lemons sliced very thin.
Watermelon Cocktail.-This isn't a
beverage, properly speaking, but is SO
refreshing to the inner man we cannot
refrain from suggesting it here. Cut
chilled watermelon in half-inch cubes
and heap up in chilled, stemmed
glasses. Pour little lemon honey
over it, add a dash of nutmeg and
serve. Or sprinkle a little finely
minced candied ginger over the melon
cubes, pour on little sweet clover
honey and serve very cold. The
chilled pulp Of cantaloupe is delicious
served in same manner.

PUT A KINK IN HIS PLANS
Awful Contingency Youth Had Not
Foreseen in His Laying Out of
the Future.

Eleven-year-old Tommy has quite
decided opinions as to the duties of
fathers to their little boys. The other
day he was describing to his mother
the sort of father he intends to be
when he grows up.
I'm going to be the best father to
my boys. I'm going to play marbles
with them and baseball and every
thing they want me to and I'll give
them dimes most every day and tell
them they can buy all the ice cream
they want, and I'll get them each a
pony, and well, my boysll have lots
of fun"
Tommy's mother with twinkle in
her eye said: "But, Tommy, what If
you shouldn't have any little boys,
what if your children are all girls!"
Such a possibility never entered
Tommys head. The suggestion was
appalling. A look of blank dismay
passed over the child's face.
Gee! that would be the dickens!"

The quality OF Western CanaGa
wheat is recognized everywhere.
The latest census returns show that
in the Province of Manitoba, which
stands out as one of great wealth and
wonderful opportunity, the land area
under wheat increased from 1,965,200
acres in 1900 to 2,760,471 acres in 1910,
being an increase of 40.46 per cent. in
the decade. The wheat area Of 1911
is greater than that of 1910 by 334, 46R
acres. There ara increases in the area
of production of all cereals for 1910
over 1900. excepting peas and mixed
grains.
OF cereals grown in 1910 the largest
gross monetary return per acre was
given by peas with $20.51, followed by
beans with 1857, fall wheat with
$15.67, corn for husking with $12.63,
fax $11.15. buckwheat $11.06, spring
wheat 1904. The smallest returns
were obtained from oats, rye and bar
ley in the order named.

ERUPTION ON ANKLE BURNED

Kingsville, Monty trouble began
eighteen years ago. Nearly half Of

around my ankle; sometimes it would
be two years at time before they
were healed. There were many nights

suffering. The sores were deep run

bear for anything to touch them.
They would burn all the time and
sting like a lot OF bees were confined
around my ankle. l could not bear to
scratch it, it was always so sensitive
to the touch l could not let my
clothes touch it. The skin was very
red. I made what I called cap out
of white felt, blotting paper and soft
white cloth to hold it in shape. This

Nest on a Sleeps Back.

An extraordinary story Of a star
Iing's nest on a sleeps back comes
from Bideford, England, and is told
by the Pail Mall Gazette. During
sheep shearing operations on Gourn-
wood farm one of the shearers cut into
a feshy substance, and examination
showed that he had cut in half a young
starting, which was in a nest that had
been built in the sleeps wool, and
which contained two other fedglings
still alive The nest was composed of
moss and twigs. For some weeks
previous to the shearing the sheep,
with the others, had the run of three
fields near the farm.

was $1,O247f in 1910, as against
$518.0S in 1900, being an increase OF
1918 per cent. in the decade.
Coming back to the crops of 1918, il
may safely be said that the yield OF
wheat in Saskatchewan win be about
115,000,000 bushels, with an average
yield of over % bushels per acre.
Oats, which are but fair crop, viii
yield an average equal to that of last
year. Barley is excellent, while fax
of which the average is considerably
less than last year, will produce
greater average than for years. What
is said of these crops will apply to all
districts.
Under date of August 18th, report
comes from Regina which says:
unless some dire calamity occurs
in the next few days farmers of the
Regina district will reap the greatest
wheat crop ever recorded in the West.

expected that when the money bags
were frightened that this would be the
case. The fact is that money could
not keep pace with the development
natural to demands of 100000 new peo-
pie a year. Towns and cities had to
be built to take care of the country
and capital had not made sufficient
preparation.
But the crop of 1913 will restore
conditions to normal state, and the
natural and reasonable development
will continue.
Owing to wet fall in 1912, and a
heavy snowfall during the past winter
there was a large area which it was
difficult to seed at the usual time the
past spring. Therefore as general
thing seeding was later than usual. A
trip through the country in the early
part of August showed that this was
no drawback. Wheat that had been
seeded in May was already ripening,
and had stand fully as good as any
country had ever produced; the heads
were large and the prospects were Of
