In All Sorts of Weather peruna Is An
Ideal Protector

MT. George A. Douglas, No. 49 East i31st St, New York, N. T., writes:
 GAS my work con1pels me to spend a large part of my time out of doors. I have often been drenched by sudden rains, chilled by extreme cold, and I soon found that I had bad case of catarrh of the bronchial tubes. I tried plasters and medicine, but noth- ing I did seemed to help me until I took Peruna. This splendid medicine took, right hold of me, drove every bit of the disease out, and built me up until felt stronger than I had for years Whenever I have been ex- posed now couple of doses always restores me. Peruna is an ideal pro- tector in all sorts of weather"
 Perapa has. probably cured more cases of catarrh than any other remedy in existence. Catarrh nearly always depends upon depressed nerve center Peruna is natural in viecrant that enables the system to overcome the catarrhal condition.

Amsterdam, via London, Nov. 24, $50 D. m-A Berlin telegram to the Cologne Gazette says that the imperial chancellor has summoned the party leaders to a conference before the meeting of the reichstag on Novem- Der 30, in order to discuss proposals for increased taxation necessitated by the war. Apart from the new fifty per cent. tax on war profits, the taxes proposed probably will include an in crease in the income tax.
 ''It is hoped by the conference" the despatch adds. ito avoid public dis cussion in the reichstag of the pro- posed scheme of taxation, to which the strenuous opposition of some mem bers is anticipated"
 There is a strong current of public opinion in favor of the chancellor out lining Germany's peace in his speech opening the new session, when he will review the military, financial and dIp- lomatic situation.

FRANCE CALLS coNScRiPTS
 OF 1915 CLASS TO CoLORS
Are to Be Sent to Garrisons and
 Trained for Military Service.

Paris, Nov 24, 5.10 D.. m.-After hearing General Gallieni, minister of war, today, the army committee of the chamber of deputies decided upon a call to the rcolors on December Is of the young conscripts of the class of 1915. They will be sent to garri- sons, then trained and incorporated in various regiments and services.
 The class of 1915 comprises a con tingent of 100000 young men who in peace times would begin military ser vice in 1917. The members of this contingent are IS and 19 years of age. The calling of this contingent was forecast in a memorandum by M. Mil lerand, then minister of war, in Sep tember, noting that 1916 contingent had completed it's training and that 1t appeared necessary to anticipate the time of calling the 1917 contingent so that it's services might be available, if the need arose in the spring of 1916, the minimum time of training being five months.

ModernlzIns the Roundup.

Each year seems to give the auto
mobile a new hold ON life. The wal
brought 1t to the forefront in a new
field. The soldier of the present day
seldom makes long forced marches
like Sherman's march to the sea. He
travels by motor car. AS result. the
automobile casualty list is tremen'
dous; the average life of a car in the
battle line is estimated at thirty days.
But 1t is not only the war zone that
has lost part of It's picturesqueness
through the use Of the automobile,
The latter has begun to rob the an
nual cattle roundup of some Of its
thrills by replacing the horse. This
year has seen the ubiquitous car with
a cowboy at its wheel on our western
prairies, dlscouraging the cattle from
attempts to escape from the ever-nar-
rowing circle in the roundup. Many
steer which has given COW horse
run must feel disconnected when 1t
bucks up against the four-wheeled
steed-Wall Street Journal.

ALFALFA ADAPTED
TO EASTERN STATES
One of Principal Troubles in
Growing Good Crop Is De-
fiCienCy in Humus.

There will be big extension in the
acreage of alfalfa in the eastern sec
ton of the United States in the near
future. In many places in that section
there is much the same feeling toward
alfalfa that the farmers of the West
had toward the westward extension Of
clover. Many have the idea that it
can't be grown, and that ends the
matter, In their minds.
One of the principal troubles with
eastern soils is they are deficient in
humus and nitrogen. Nitrogen for
most crops and on most land can be
obtained by the growth of legumes
much cheaper than it can be pur-
chased. In the growing of legumes,
select the one that will produce the
best returns in feed, under most con-
ditions. Alfalfa is the best legume to
grow where 1t will do we'll. 1t will
produce more feed that has higher
feeding value, on land that is adapted
to its growth, than any other legume.
There is no reason why alfalfa
should not be the principal legumin.
GUS crop in the East, on most soils,
just as 1t is in the West. And the re-
turns of the farmers in the eastern
section of the United States would be
much greater If larger acreage Of
this crop was grown.

WAITED LONG FOR PROBATE
After Twenty years Son Produces Fa-
Tiers Will-Testator's instructions
Had Been obeyed.

Undiscovered for nearly twenty
years after his death, the will of Jo-
ham Michael Muller has been offered
for probate at Baltimore by his son,
John G. A. Muller. The testator died
March 13, 1896, having made his will
on May 81, 1889.
The paper, yellow and musty with
age, left all Mr.. Muller's property to
his wife Elizabeth Barbara Muller.
She died April 30p 1915, and her son
was appointed administrator of her
estate. He had known of the exist
ence of the will for several months
prior to his mothers death. but since
all the property had been enjoyed by
Mrs. Muller as her husband had de-
sired, 1t was not thought necessary
to probate the will at that time.
The son says the property will now
be divided between his two brothers
and himself, since his mother died in
testate. The exact value of the estate
has not been determined, but 1t is
made up almost entirely of parcels Of
real estate.

BIG INCREASE Of
FARM PRODUCTS
Province of Alberta Shows In.
crease of Over 20 Millions.

Figures just compiled by the public
ity branch Of the provincial depart
ment show that last year, notwith-
standing that quite third of the prov
ince was affected by the drought to
very serious extent, the total value
of agricultural products actually pro-
duced in the province showed an in
crease of over twenty million dollars
over that of the previous year. AL
though southern Alberta had a bad
year agriculturally, the province as a
whole experienced a period of great
prosperity, due principally to mixed
farming, which is becoming more gen.
eral with each succeeding year.
The value of mixed farming, in fact,
was never better illustrated than last
year as the value of the animals
slaughtered and sold alone equaled
the value of the spring wheat crop,
without taking into consideration the
value of the butter, milk, cheese, poul-
try, vegetables, and other by-products
of the farm.
Oats was the banner grain CROP
1,147,SS2 acres being seeded, and pro-
ducing 34.397,117 bushels, or 30.15 to
the acre. Sold at an average of SOC
per bushel. these yielded revenue Of
$1719S55S. Comparatively little win
ter wheat was produced, the yield be-
Ing little short of one million bush
els, but the spring wheat crop
amounted to 15,102,0S3 bushels. the
yield per acre being 1926. At an aver
age of $1.35 per bushel, the value Of
the spring wheat crop was therefore
$20,3S7,S12. The total production Of
barley was 7,847,640 bushels, which, at
55c per bushel, yielded revenue Of
$4,916,2O2.
Other productions were as follows:
Flax, 207,115 bushels, $310,672.00; rye,
261,S49 bushels, $196, 1890; speltz, A.
TOT bushels, $32,OSOOO; hay, 100000
tons, $2,500.000; potatoes, four million
bushels, 100000; turnips, three mil
lion bushels, $4,000; carrots, 100000
bushels, $4,000; mangolds, 100000
bushels, $4,000; animals slaughtered
and sold $20,OOO,OOO; butter and
cheese, $1,5OO,OOO; milk, 100000;
wool clip, 100000 pounds, 100000;
fish, $4,000; game and furs, $780,.
900; horticultural products, $4,000;
poultry and products, $2,650,000.
The total of the agricultural prod
ucts is given as $78,516,S91, as com
pared with S5S, 098, OS4 in 1918.
The statistics also show that the
value of the live stock in the province
at the end of the year was $1,000,
$40. this being an increase of $7,762,
S45 over the previous year. There
were 609,125 horses, 75O,7S9 swine
