THE WAY OUT
Change of Food Brought Success and
Happiness.

An ambitious but delicate girl, after
failing to go through school on &C
count of nervousness and hysteria,
found in Grape-Nuts the only thing
that seemed to build her up and fur
nish her the peace Of health.
From infancy" she says, Il have
not been strong. Being ambitious to
learn at any cost finally got to the
High School but soon had to abandon
my studies on account of nervous pros
tration and hysteria.
My food did not agree with me, and
/ grew thin and respondent. ! could
not enjoy the simplest social affair for
/ suffered constantly from nervousness
In spite of all sorts of medicines.
This wretched condition continued
until l became interested in the let
tiers of those who had cases like mine
and who were being helped by eating
Grape-Nuts.
I had little faith, but procured a
pkg and after the first dish l expert
enced peculiar satisfied feeling that
/ had never gained from any ordinary
food. l slept and rested better that
night and in few days began to grow
stronger.
L had a new feeling of peace and
restfulness. In few weeks, to my
great joy. the headaches and nervous
ness left me and life became bright
and hopeful. Presumed my studies, and
later taught ten months with ease

NO WAR TAX ON
CANADIAN LANDS
UntruthfuI Reports Circulated by
Interested Parties.

Defaming Beighbor at the expense
of the truth does not help those who are
guilty Of the practice, and it may be
said that those spreading false re-
ports about Canadian lands, in the
hope that they may secure customers
for their own, will certainly fail of
their purpose. False statements so
maliciously circulated will sooner or
later be disproved. And, as in the
case of the lands Of Western Canada,
the fertility of which is now so well
known to people of every state in the
United States, the folly of this work
shows an exceeding short sighted
practice.
The present war has given some of
these people the opportunity to exer-
else their art, but in doing it they are
only arousing the curiosity of those
who read the statements and a trifiing
truthfulness.
A very foolish statement has re-
Gently appeared in a number of pa
pers, reading in part as follows
1T is believed that as result of the
war tax on land imposed by the Cana
dian Government number of former
Dakota farmers who went to the Brit
ish Northwest will be compelled to re-
turn to the United States. Informa-
ton has been received that the tax
will amount to about $500 for each
farm of 160 acres, which in the case
of many of the former residents of the
two Dakotas would practically amount
to confiscation."
To show that the public has doubt
ed, hundreds Of inquiries have been
made the Government at Ottawa,
Canada, only to bring out the most en-
kind has, of course, only short life,
and will tell in the end against those
who forge it and spread it, but, as a
Winnipeg paper points out, it is most
complimentary to the agricultural pos
sibilities of Western Canada to find
that rival farming propositions need
audacious mendacity of this descrip-
ton to help them.
What is the truth? The Saskatche-
wan Government has authorized levy
Of $40 per quarter section on unculti-
waited lands owned by non-residents.
The Alberta Government has imposed
a Provincial tax of 10 mills on the as
sessed value of all uncultivated lands.
There are some special applications of
these taxes, but the main provisions
are as above. Those vacant lands
held by non-residents in Western Can
ada form grave problem. They are
making for poor communities, poor
schools and poor social and economic
conditions generally. By having them
cultivated the owners as we'll as the
districts in which they are located
will benefit alike. 1t is for this reason
that the Government has recently
asked the cooperation of the non-resi,
dents. The high price Of grain fol

splendid character of Western Canada
land will make the question well
worth consideration.-Adve

Some time ago when patient in

in the need Of an effective pistol regu-

has come of these endeavors, and the
matter languishes.
Delay in this movement to safe
guard the District people against the
evil OF the easily procured deadly
weapon costs lives. 1t is as certain
as the coming of the day that further
postponement will involve needless
sacrifices. There is no valid reason
for the non-enactment OF the pro-

The Senate Situation.

| The effort OF the President ;
| friends in the Senate now is not to
save the ship purchase bill. but his
| prestige As the result OF the iilibuster
the character OF the bill has under
| gone material change. Such conces-
sions have been made i'll overtures
for support that in some particulars
new proposition is presented. State
socialism features have been soften
cd, and assurances against foreign
complications given.
Still, the proposition, though
| changed. is regarded as the Presi-
dents, and on that account its sup
porters in the Senate refuse to sur
render. They seem to think that de-
feat would impair the Presidents S
prestige, and make his way difficult
with the next Congress, where small
democratic majority in the House will
probably require more Coddling than
commanding.
In discussing the situation those
who favor the withdrawal of the ship
bill declare that by that act the way
would be cleared for the supply bills.
and that all of them could be passed
in the time remaining.
They could be passed if rushed.
But they should not be rushed. They
are too important, and contain too
many items of absorbing national in
terest, to be whipped under the cord
like a race horse. Two of them at
least-the army bill and the navy bill
should be examined with regard to
world conditions as we'll as Ameri-
can conditions, while the river and
harbor bill must encounter the op-
position that sees, and fights, pork"
features in every such measure.
Why not, therefore, confess the
necessity of an extra session and pre-
pare for it? If the ship bill is with
drawn, or directly defeated on vote,
let the supply bill calling for the
least discussion be taken up and
passed, and the others postponed.
Before July the army and the navy
problems could be thoroughly dis
cussed both in Congress and in the
press for the benefit Of Congress.
Public sentiment could be sounded as
to what should be done at a time
when new conditions have made new
provisions imperative.
Something is said about Congress
being tired out. But it is to be re-
membered that the present Congress
goes out March 4, and a new one
comes in. In that Congress is a good
deal of fresh blood. The House in
particular will contain great many
members who will go into action for
the first time, and show the vigorous
form of beginners. They are ready
for business, and much business IS
ready for them; and the sooner they
are set to work the better for every
| body in interest. An extra session
will be so much subtracted from the
FIRST regular session, which on ac-
| count OF the presidential campaign
should be short.
