LIGHT BREAKS IN
Thoughtful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.

Many people exist in a more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that Tea and cof-
fee are often the cause of the clouds
ness, and that there is a simple way
to let the light break in.
A worthy farmer had such an exper-
fence and tells about it, in a letter. He
says:
For about forty years, / have had
indigestion and stomach trouble in
various forms. During the last 25
years | would not more than get over
one spell of bilious collie until another
would be upon me.
THE best doctors / could get and
all the medicines / could buy, only
gave me temporary relief.
Change of climate was tried with
out results. I could not sleep nights.
had rheumatism and my heart would
palpitate at times so that it seemed
1t would jump out OF my body.
II came TO the conclusion that there
was nc relief for me and that / was
about wound up, when saw a Postum
advertisement. | had always been a
coffee drinker, and got an idea from
the ad. that maybe coffee was the
cause of my trouble.
II began to use Postum instead Of
coffee and in less than three weeks /
felt like a new man. The rheumatism
left me, and | have never had a spell
Of bilious collie since.
MY appetite is good, my digestion
never was better and / can do more
work than before for 40 years.
II haven't tasted coffee since / be-
gan with Postum. My wife makes 1t
according to directions and | relish 1t
as well as ! ever did coffee, and / was
certainly a slave to coffee"

THE CROPS IN
WESTERN CANADA
Optimism Throughout the Prov
inces of Manitoba, Sas-
katcheWan and Alberta.

During the present summer a rnm-
Der of important delegations have Wis
tied the Canadian West for the pur-
pose of securing information as to
the crop conditions and the conditions
of business generally. For some
months the financial stress was felt
throughout the Provinces Of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Co
lumbia as well as In other portions OF
the country. With a development tax

before been known, 1t was to be

was $1,024.71 in 1910, as against
$51S.03 in 1900, being an increase OF
1918 per cent. in the decade.
Coming back to the crops Of 1913, II
may safely be said that the yield of
wheat in Saskatchewan win be about
$4,000, 900 bushels, with an average
yield of over % bushels per acre.
Oats, which are but a fair crop, will
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 a
greater average than for years. What
is said Of these crops will apply to all
districts.
Under date of August 18th, a 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.

and this difficult work is being carried
out with great judgment and success.
In the course of centuries the walls
have been worked v er and over again
with old and new material, much Of
which was Indifferent, while the re-
building was often poorly constructed.
The face disclosed beneath the flint

The improvement in the appearance
Of the Martin tower Is great. One
guiding principle is to use stone which
is not only durable but harmonious in
texture and color, and another is to
keep the joints subordinate to the out
lines of the stone. This is done by us
