Watch Carefully

,
Their Food.
!. Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet OF their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different persons.
Hence, avoid what seems to constipate
the child or to give 1t indigestion, and
urge 1t to take more of what is quick
ly digested.
II the child shows a tendency to
constipation it should Immediately be
given q mild laxative to help the bow
els. By this is not meant a physic or
purgative, for these should never be
given to children, nor anything like
salts. pills, etc. What the child re-
quires is simply a small dose Of the
gentlest of medicines, such as DR..
CaidwelIs Syrup Pepsin, which, in the
opinion of thousands of watchful moth
ers, IS the ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation.
So many things al happen to a con-
stipated child that care is necessary.
Colds, piles. headaches, sleeplessness.
n many other annoyances that chill
dren should not have can usually be
traced to constipation.
Many Of Americas foremost families
are v without Syrup Pepsin, be-
cause n can never tell when some
member OF the family may need 1t,
and all can use 1t. Thousands endorse

WESTERN CANADA
CAME INTO EVIDENCE
At THE CRUCIAL PERIOD FOR
SUPPLY OF WORLDS FOOD
STUEES.

The present demand for foodstuffs
In all parts OF the world, and the ex-
pense Of producing it on high-priced
lands, would make 1t seem that west
| ern Canada came into evidence at the
crucial period. There Is to be found
the opportunity that will be a large
factor In meeting this demand. With
its millions of acres of land, easily
cultiyatable. highly productive, acces.
sible to railways, and with unexcelled
climatic conditions, the opportunities
that are offered and afforded are too
great to be overlooked.
There have been booms in almost
every civilized country and they were
looked upon as such, and in the curse
Of time the bubble was pricked and
was burst. But in no country has the
development been as great nor as
rapid. whether in city or in country,
as In western Canada.
The provinces OF Manitoba, Sas.
katchewan and Alberta have the larg-
est area Of desirable lands on the
North American continent, and their
cultivation has just begun.
Even with a two hundred million
bushel wheat crop, less than eight
per cent. of the land is under the
ploughs, four per cent. being in wheat.
Less than five years ago the wheat
crop was only II, 900, 900 bushels. It
is q simple calculation to estimate
that II four per cent. Of the available
~cultivatable ares produces something
over 200, 000, 900 bushels. what will A
per cent. produce? And then look al
the immigration that is coming into
the country. In 1901 It was 49,149
1900 being from the United States:
In 1906 it was 1S9, 064, Of which $1,000
were Americans, and In 1918 it was
about 400, 900, Of which about 100000
were Americans. But why have they
gone to Canada? The American farm
er Is a man of shrewd business in
stincts, just like his Canadian brother
and when he finds that he can sell his
own farm at from 800 to 5000 pei
acre and move into Canada and home
stead and pre-empt half a section fol
himself, and similarly for all his SON
who are adult and OF age upon lands
as rich and fertile as those he left
and producing indeed several bushels
to the acre In excess Of anything b,
has ever known, it will take mor'
than an ordinary effort to prevent hin
from making the change.
And then, too, there is the American
capital following the capital of Drawn
muscle and sinew, following it so al
to keep in touch with the industriou!
farmer with which it has had dealing!
for years back. This capital and thu
capital Of farming experience is NJ
small matter in the building up Of
country.
Nothing Is said Of the great minera
and forest wealth, Of which but littl,
has been touched.
No country in the worlds histor.
has attracted TO its borders a large
number of settlers in so short n time
or has attracted SO much wealth In
period OF eq0al length, as have tn
Canadian nrairies. Never before ha
pioneering been accomplished unde
conditions 50 favorable as those tina
exist in western Canada today.-At

Colds are caught In many

A dose Of Peruna at the right
time, at the first symptom Of
cold, before the bones begin to
ache, before the sore throat
nanifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, just
a dose or two of Peruna before
these symptoms begin is gener-
ally sufficient. But after the cold
is once established with the
above symptoms prominent, a
bottle of Peruna, or maybe two,
will be necessary,

WHEAT FIELD FIRES.
Quite a Number Have Occurred in
Kansas.

A number of large wheat fields in
Kansas have been destroyed by fire
in the last few days. The wheat
is so dry and ripe that the blaze
spreads and gets beyond control in
few minutes. The efforts of fire
fighters seem to avail little, and hun
dreds of acres of fine wheat are
being destroyed by fire spreading
from one field to another, the cause
usually being sparks from locomo-
tives or threshers, or the careless
ness of smokers. Every day, re-
ports of wheat field fires are COM
ing in to the State fire marshal's
office at Topeka from the township
clerks. whose duty it is to file in
formation concerning fires in their
townships. Fire guards plowed
around the fields will save adjoining
wheat fields and it is too late to
plow a fire guard after a spark gets
in it's work in the dry stubble of a
neighbor's crop.-The Journal of
Commerce.

WORLDS RECORD CORN CROP.
Interesting Facts as Recited in the
Book of Corn.

Capt. Drake was the worlds cham
pion corn grower. His record, made
in 1889, in a corn growing contest,
conducted by the American Agricul-
turist and open to the world still
stands. The Book Of Corn" thus
describes Capt. brakes achievement:
From a single acre Mr.. Drake
grew 253 bushels of shelled corn, or
239 bushels of crib-cured corn. Late
in February 1000 bushels Of stable
manure and 500 pounds each Of ma
nipulated guano, cotton seed meal
and kainit were broadcasted on the
acre and then plowed under. Fol-
lowing the plough 900 bushels of
whole cotton seed were strewn in. the
burrows. A subsoil plow was run
through a depth of twelve inches. The
land was we'll narrowed and the rows
planted alternately, in March, two,
three and six feet apart. An improv-
ed strain of the common good variety
of Southern white dent corn was
planted five or six kernels being drop
ped to each foot of the row. 1t was
planted in the rows five inches deep,
but covered only one inch. At first
hoeing the plants were thinned to
one stalk to every five or six inches,
the missing spots being replanted.
On April the goth the six-foot spaces
were plowed and a mixture composed
of 200 pounds each Of guano, kainit,
cotton seed meal, acid phosphate and
bone was applied and hoed in. On
May Is, the three-foot spaces were
ploughed, 800 pounds of nitrate Of
soda sown and worked in. On May
25, 2G0 pounds Of guano were ap-
piled in the wide spaces. Another
application of 500 pounds Of guano,
cotton seed meal and kainit was put
on June 8 and 100 pounds nitrate OF
soda June IL. The crop was harvest
ed November 25, before several rep
utable witnesses 1t yielded 14,4O7
pounds Of corn in the ear, Of which
140 pounds was soft corn. Several
tests showed that 100 pounds of ear
corn yielded 80 pounds Of shelled
corn, which made the yield 254 bush
els, 40 pounds of shelled corn at Sc
pounds to the bushel, which, kiln
dried, to contain only 10 per cent of
water, would contain 239 bushels. y
To this Col. Watson's handbook OF
South Carolina adds: Capt. brakes S
crop contained 80 per cent of shelled
corn, had IS per cent of dry matter
in the corn, and 81 per cent of dry
matter in the cob. The green weight
in bushels of shelled corn was 255
bushels, the crib-cured weight 239
bushels and the chemically dried
weight PIT bushels. The total ex-
penses were 1854 and the value of the
unexhausted manure s158. The net
expenses per bushel amounted to A
cents and the feeding and manur-
ial value of the crop was $1S2."
