of age, accompanied a party of his

Gated at Wetaskiwin, Alberta, now one
of the most thriving and best settled
districts in Western Canada For
three years he remained in the dis
trict. Homesickness took him back
to his home at Fitchburg, Mass, and
he has remained there for II years.
He has heard frequently from his
friends in the West. He has followed
their movements and watched their
progress. He has heard how the town
he helped to establish has risen from
a shack to a growing, thriving, brisk
business center, with the surrounding
country peopled now by thousands
who are occupying the territory in
which he was one of the first TO help
plant the colony of twenty or twenty
five In his letter to an official of the
Department of the Interior, he says:
when I was up in Canada; Calgary
was small town and SO was Edmon-
ton, but understand they have grown
wonderfully since"
The young man when he went last
learned a machine trade, he has pat
ents and inventions but he wants to
go to Canada again. And he likely
will, but when he does he will find a
greater change than he may expect.
Calgary and Edmonton are large
cities, showing marvellous and wonder
full growth. Where but one line of
railway made a somewhat tortuous
and indefinite way across the plains
to its mountain pass, there are three
lines of railway dividing the trade of
hundreds of thousands of farmers.

day, and today worth $35 an acre, but
at some distance from a line of rail

Woman S Beauty is
Based on Health
To Have Health, Bowel
Movement is Absolutely
NecesSary-HO1v Best
TO Obtain it

If woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics every woman would be
picture of 1oveliness- But beauty lies
deeper than that. 1t lies in health
In the majority of cases the basis of
health and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
saIlow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not
eat carefully. they eat indigestible
foods because the foods are served
daintily and they do not exercise
enough But whatever the particular
cause may be it is important that the
condition should be corrected
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
quirements, is Dr. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women en-
dorse highly. Mrs. Jennie Snedeker,
1O41 West Monroe ST, Chicago, testi-
fies that she is cured of grave stom-
ach and bowel troubles by using Syrup
Pepsin and without the aid of a doc
tor or any other medicine All the
family can use Syrup Pepsin. for thou
sands of mothers give it to babies and
children. 1t is also admirably suited
to the requirements of elderly people,
in fact to all who by reason of age or
infirmity cannot stand harsh salts, ca
thartics, pills or purgatives. These
should always be avoided for at best

Willow Switches Given Away.

The small boy whose father has
time to apply the switch should be-
ware with little more than his usual
caution. The United States govern
ment is giving away willow switches
The department of agriculture has
an experiment farm at Arlington, Va,
and some parts of it were found to be
too wet for raising ordinary crops
Therefore the experts set willows out
in the wet places. and there has been
SO smart a growth that the govern
ment wants to get rid of the willow
switches. 1t offers to give them away
under the guise of willow cuttings to
make baskets or bottom chairs, but no
smart boy will ever be deceived by
that kind of talk. He may be safe on
ly in the assurance of the government
that only one hundred of the cuttings
will be given to one person.-Worces-

Hairpins and Other Pins.

Hairpins have been elaborated as a
means of decoration since the earliest
times. Particularly beautiful is the
variety and delicacy of their workman
ship, two of the finest specimens being
the gold pins which were found at
Salamis in Cyprus, and are now in the
British museum. Even more hand
some were the Saxon pins of q later
date, with their shank of brass, head
of gold, and establishment of garnets
and pearls. There were, too, the larg-
er sort of pins so conspicuously and
frequently mentioned in the Bible. The
instrument driven by Jael through the
temple of Sisera was probably a tent
pin, while Delilah fastened the web
of Samson's hair with pin or batten.
In the middle ages pins were a great
fashion = indeed, great necessity =
in France, and we have it on record
that in 1347 $4,000 pins were removed
from the Royal wardrobe for one of
the French princesses. The conven-
fence was probably a little later in
reaching England, but in 1910 we hear
of Queen Catherine (Howard) import
ing pins from France. In 1860 the
trade underwent considerable change,
brass superseding iron, while at the
same time the price was lowered.

The man who cannot rest today,
But says he will tomorrow,
Finds, when his work is cleared away,
New tasks or sits in sorrow
The merry time, the happy time,
The blissful day in view
Is never gained by them that wait
To triumph and to celebrate,
With nothing more to do
The man who folds his hands today
And contemplates with sorrow
The pressing task that's put away
Unfinished until tomorrow
Has neither rest of heart nor mind,
For he that looks ahead
To duties long delayed destroys
The sweetest of sweet leisure's joys,
But borrowS doubt and dread
The man who mixes work and play
At present and tomorrow
Keeps Hfe'S poor little ills away
And finds new cares to borrow.
The merry time, the happy time,
The bhssful day in view
Is every day. for him whose hand
Is turned each day to fair deeds and
Who plays in reason too.

SELECTING A JURY.
Methods of the Prosecution In a Great

Methods of the Prosecution In a Great
Criminal Case.
In his book Courts, Criminals and

assistant district attorney in New
York, tells how juries are drawn for a
great criminal trial. For a month be-
fore a trial. says Mr.. Train, every
member of the jury panel has been
subjected to an unseen inquisitorial
process The district attorney knows
a good deal about every prospective
juror and perchance has difficulty in
restraining smile when he meets
with deliberate equivocation in answer
to an important question as to per-
sonal history:
Are you acquainted with the accus
ed or his family?" mildly inquiries the
assistant prosecutor.
mo, not at ALL" the talesman may
blandly reply.
The answer perhaps is literally true
and yet the prosecutor may be pardon
ed for murmuring LIAR" to himself
as he sees that his memorandum con-
cerning the jurors qualifications states
that he belongs to the same "lodge"
with the prisoners uncle by marriage
and carries an open account on his
books with the defendants father.
81 think we will excuse Mr.. Ana
Mas" politely remarks the prosecutor
Then in an undertone he turns to his
chief and mutters: The old rascal!
He would have knitted us into a thou
sand pieces if we'd given him the
chance" And all this time the dis
g'Intfed Mr. Ananias is wondering
why. if he didn't know the defendant
or his family" he was not accepted as
juror.

FOR HOME INDUSTRIES
Edythe ToZier Wethered Will Ad-
dress the Commercial Club
Wednesday, April 8.

For the purpose of compiling data
as to the manufacturing resources of
this city and county and in other
ways furthering the great Oregon
Home Industry" movement, Mrs.
Edyth Tozier Weathered will speak
here April 8, coming from Portland
in the interest of the movement,
which is being enthusiastically car
ried on by the Manufacturers Asso-
citation of Oregon.
The aim and object of the associa-
tion is to create d demand for all
goods manufactured in Oregon, as
well as to build up bigger payrolls
for all parts OF the state. To do this
latter part of the campaign, the or
ganization is compiling data from
every part of the state which will be
of interest to eastern manufacturers
who are considering locating in the
Beaver state.
Mrs. Weathered's mission in the
campaign is to VISIT every county in
the state, give attention to the re-
sources of that locality and report
to the association, Systematically in
troduce a plan of work among the
local clubs and organizations that
will mean better patronage of COM
modities manufactured in that place,
and to give every assistance to the
establishment and maintenance of
local factories. She works upon the
plan that county prosperity means
the financial betterment of the en-
tire state.
