In 1899 the opportunity to serve the
Herald and its proprietor personally
came to us, and it was a most pleasur-
able experience. The Marine Journal
had been in existence twenty-one years
and during that time the Herald had
given it many boost into prominence
until our Indebtedness in favors had as
sumed large proportions. This is how
we reduced the debt little. 1t will be
remembered by many of our readers who
were our guests that the writer chartered
the twin-screw steamship La Grande
Ducnesse that fall for excursions to the
international yacht races. 1t was COM

accommodation of 1900 persons, with
the capacity for three races engaged be-
fore the races began. James Gordon
Bennett, with his usual foresight, had
contracted with Marconi to attend these
races and report 1.-THE first time in any
country by wireless the result daily to
the New York Herald. Arrangements
had been made by Mr.. Benefits repre-
sentative for Marconi with his wireless
apparatus to go on a smaller steamer.
Something happened after one or two
trips that put this vessel out of commits
sion.
Immediately thereafter application
was made to the writer for the transfer
of Marconi to La Grande Duchesse. For
tunately the smoking room on this ship
was available, and it was one of the
most pleasant events of our lives that
we were able to give the New York Her
aid the most convenient and spacious
room of the ship and thereby place this
wireless apparatus in a desirable posi-
ton. 1t will be remembered by some
of our readers that fogs and Gains pre-
vailed during that series of races, so that

HAD OLD LADY'S GRATITUDE
Stories Boy Had Absorbed May Have
Been Inventions, but She Was
Satisfied.

1t was on a Wade Park car, on the
line of 40 angles, and it happened but
a day or two ago.
A boy of perhaps fourteen suddenly
arose from his seat and gave it to a
stout lady. The stout lady looked up
at him.
You're a polite lad" she said. Few
boys nowadays would do the like"
Il guess you didn't read yesterdays
paper" said the boy. There's a story
about a boy who gave up his seat in a
street car to a lady, and when she died
last week she left him $1,000"
Il didn't see it," said the lady.
Maybe you saw the n about the
boy who carried the old woman's bas-
ket and she gave him a brick house
and a moving picture theater?"
NO." said the lady; Il didn't see
that one either"
There was another one" the lad
went on, about the boy who had a
lower berth in tn sleepin' car an gave
it to a sick lady an she left him all
her fortune. i don't know how much
it was, but 1t must have been an awful
lot. You see how it is-you can't af-

millinery FOR men
The Headgear of Nuts in Brit.
iSh East Africa.
Natives Are Extremely Vain; and as
Hats Form Chief Article of Attire,
They Display Great Ingenuity
In Adjoining Them.

London.-it is not only In Bond
street and other haunts of fashion
that feathered millinery is the order
of the day. II would almost seem as
if the big Paris and London milliners
had taken a trip TO British East At
RIGA and evolved the latest styles from
a study of the native headgear.
The natives there r extremely
vain, and since hats form the chief
article of their attire, they display
great ingenuity in adjoining them. If
the results are not strictly beautiful,
they are at least striking,
Some of the headdresses are made
out of gazelle skins and trimmed with
hawks feathers, others epcircle the
face something after the style of a
nuns headdress, but perhaps the one
with the long, upright feather most
nearly resembles the millinery of the
moment at home.
But whereas in England it is the
women who spend feverish hours and
enormous sums of money in the desire
to obtain something really chic, in
British East Africa 1t is the men who
take SO much pains over their person
al appearance. Far from adjoining
themselves, the women are actually
compelled to make themselves as IN
attractive as possible.
1t may be that their lords and mas
ters can flaunt their own finery with
more effect If the other sex is unbe-
comingly CARRIED, or perhaps they fear
that the East African women may
outstrip them in appearance if allow

One shudders to consider what con-
sternation would ensue were such a
policy suggested in England today.
Women have for so long had the
monopoly of frills and furbelows that
many of them would find their days

WESTERN CANADA
CAME INTO EVIDENCE
AT THE CRUCIAL PERIOD FOR
SUPPLY OF WORLDS FOOD
STUFFS.

The present demand for f~oodStuffs
In all parts of the world, and the ex-
pense of producing it on high-priced
lands, would make it 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
cultivatable, 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
looked upon as such, and in the course
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-
k~atchewan and Alberta have the larg-
est area of desirable lands on the
| North American continent, and their
cultivation mas Just Degun.
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. 1t
is a simple calculation to estimate
that If four per cent. Of the available
| c%ultivatable area produces something
over 200, 900, 900 bushels, what will A
per cent. produce? And then look at
the immigration that is coming into
the country. In 1901 1t was 49,149,
Z 1000 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 10000
were Americans. Lat why have they
gone to Canada? The American farm

stincts, just like his Canadian brother,
and when he finds that he can sell his
own farm at from 800 to 5000 per
acre and move into Canada and home.
stead and pre-empt half a section for
himself, and similarly for all his sons
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 he
has ever known, 1t will take more
than an ordinary effort to prevent him
from making the change.
And then, too, there is the American
capital following the capital of Drawn

for years back. This capital and thu
capital of farming experience is N
small matter in the building up of
country.
Nothing is said OF the great minera
and forest wealth, OF which but little
has been touched.
No country In the worlds histor,
has attracted to it's borders a large
number of settlers in so short a time
or has attracted so much wealth in

Watch Carefully
the Child'S Diet
Sfcrf Them of Right With a Good
Laxative and Then Watch
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 it indigestion, and
urge it to take more of what Is quick.

II the child shows a tendency to
constipation it should Immediately be
given a 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..
Caldwell's 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 can happen to a con-
stipated child that care Is necessary.
Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness,
and many other annoyances that chill

traced to constipation.

quite imposing-looking men, and can
carry off even a rather overpowering
head-dress with a certain amount OF
distinction, whereas a woman, unless
she is tall, is often quite overwhelmed
by the gigantic feathers and enormous
wings so popular in modern millinery.
Whether fashions change in East
Africa as frequently as they do in Eu-
rope We are not told. 1t is probable,
however, that feathers are always pop
ular, since they are the ornaments
most easily procurable by the young
bloods who indulge in elaborate mil

tying of a really fetching bow would
be quite beyond them.

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
manifests 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 tho
above symptoms prominent, a
bottle of Peruna, or maybe twos
