LIGHT BREAKS IN
Thoughtful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.

Many people exist in more or less
hazy condition and IL often takes years
before they realize that tea and cof-
fee are often the cause of the cloudi-
ness, and that there Is a simple way
to let the light break In.
a worthy farmer had such an exper.
ience and tells about II. in letter. He
says:

Indigestion and stomach trouble In

$51s.03 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 will be about
115.000.000 bushels. with an average
yield of over 22 bushels per acre.
Oats. which are but fair crop, will
yield an average equal to that of last
year. Barley is excellent, while flax.
Of which the average is considerably
less than last year, will produce a
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.
