THE LURE OF THE WEST
WESTERN CANADA ATTRACTING
THOUSANDS OF SETTLERS.

Writing on the Canadian West, an
eastern exchange truthfully says:
"The West still calls with impera-
tive voice. To prairie and mountain,
and for the Pacific Coast, Ontarlo's
young men and women are attracted
by tens of thousands yearly. The
great migration has put an end to the
fear, freely expressed not many years
ago by those who knew the West from
the lakes to the farther coast of Van
couver Island, that Canada would
some day break in two because of the
predominance of Continental European
and American settlers in the West"
This is true. While the immigra-
ton from the United States is large,
running close to 10000 year, that of
the British Isles and Continental
Europe nearly twice that number, max
ing total of 100000 per year, there
Is strong influx from Eastern Can
ada. 1t is not only into the prairie
provinces that these people go, but
many of them continue westward, the
glory of British Columbia's great trees
and great mountains, the excellent
agricultural valleys, where can be
grown almost all kinds of agriculture
and where fruit has already achieved
prominence. Then the vast expanse
of the plains attract hundreds of thou
sands, who at once set to work to cul-
tivate their vast holdings. There is
still room, and great opportunity in
the West. The work Of mans hands,
even in the cities with their record
breaking building rush, is the small
est part of the great panorama that
is spread before the eye on journey
through the country. Nature is still
supreme, and man Is still the divine
pigmy audaciously seeking to impose
his will and stamp his mark upon an
unconquered half continent.
The feature that most commends
itself in Western development today
is the "home-making spirit" The
West will find happiness in planting
trees and making gardens and build
ing schools and colleges and universi-
ties, and producing a home environ
ment so that there will be no disposi-
ton to regard the country as a tenn
porary place of abode in which every
one is trying to make his pile prepar-
atory to going back East or becoming
a lotus-eater beside the Pacific.
The lure of the West is strong. It
will be still stronger when the crude
new towns and villages of the plains
are embowered in trees and vocal
with the song of birds.-Advertise

legal enactments, codiied apparently by Ham
murabi, in their way noteworthy produc
tions. In the matter of literature we owe to
them no less than three accounts of the crea-
ton, two accounts of the flood, one of them put
into the mouth Of the Babylonian Noah cut
napistim Atrehass), who is represented as
relating it to the semi-mythical Gilgames,
primitive king of Erech. To these must be
added a number Of other legends, such the
story of Ure (the pestilence) Etanna, the horse
and the OK, with many others-one at least
the story of Sargon of Agade, being historical.
1t is difficult to judge which was the more
predominant characteristic of the Babylonans,
their trading instinct their reverence for
their gods, for both are equally marked They
had intercourse by means of trade with Elam
the east, Syria the west and many other
places the north and south. Slavery was
common, and contracts concerning the buying.
selling and hiring of slaves frequently met
with.
One of the pictures shows interesting
phase of present day life How would 1t feel
if the worry of moving could be eliminated as
in the picture of the Babylonian who is moving
his household goods and chattels. The Baby
lonian gathers his earthly possessions together,
carefully arranges his furniture dn most cases
a rug) the back of his donkey mule and
with his family comfortably seated on the pack.
he starts merrily off to some place which may
strike his fancy.
The transportation by any other means than
that of the donkey mule is unheard of by the
Babylonian who believes that this is the mode
of transportation the world over, 1t is only the
extremely wealthy, or personages OF political
Importance, who can afford a carriage. A jour
ney the back of donkey mule is filled
with many hardships and is very slow and
tedious to those unaccustomed to that mode Of
conveyance, but the Babylonian, knowing no
better, is satisfied with his lot and thankful to
Allah that he has donkey mule to carry
him about wherever his business fancy die
tate.

MEMORY IMPROVED.
Since Leaving Off Coffee.

Many persons suffer from poor
memory who never suspect coffee has
anything to do with it.
The drug-caffeine-in coffee, acts
injuriously on the nerves and heart,
causing imperfect circulation, too
much blood in the brain at one time,
too little in another part. This often
causes dullness which makes a good
memory nearly impossible.
Il am nearly seventy years old and
did not know that coffee was the
cause of the stomach and heart trou-
BILE 1 suffered from for many years.

Kansas woman.
"a kind neighbor induced me to
quit coffee and try Postum. / had
been suffering severely and was
greatly reduced in flesh. After using
Postum a little while / found myself
improving. My heart beats became
regular and now seldom ever no
tice any symptoms of my old stom-

steady and my memory decidedly
better than while l was using coffee.

well as coffee"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for booklet, "The
Road to Wellville."
Postum comes in two forms.
Regular (must be boiled).
Instant Postum doesn't require
boiling but is prepared instantly by
stirring level teaspoonful in an or
dinary cup of hot water. which makes
1t right for most persons.
A big cup REQUIRES more and some
people who like strong things put in
heaping spoonful and temper It with
O large supply OF cream.
Experiment until you know the
amount that pleases your palate and
have It served that way In the future.
There's Reason" for Postum.
