A New Cure.

A bedpost has not generally been
regarded so much as an eye-opener as
an eye-shutter, but if a story that
comes from Boston is true-and what
story from Boston was ever untrue?-
our ocuIists should go to school to the
landmarks of Morpheus. Mr. Frank
H. Hayes, who has been stone blind
for nine years, so the tale runs, struck
his head violently against the bedpost
on arising, and was astounded few
minutes afterward to find that his
sight had been entirely restored. We
do not know whether the virue of this
cure lay in the bedpost or in the fact
that it was a Boston bedpost, but if 1t
was really effected in this way there
would seem to be a good deal in such
inanimate objects not heretofore
dreamed of in the philosophy of optics.
One of the morals Of this modern mir
acle would seem to be that knocking
Is sometimes a very effcacious pr02-
ess, and that the only way to make
some folks see things is by knocking
them into their heads.-Baltimore Sun.

ada Is Full of Facts-Here
Are Three of Them.

l. C. T. Moore, Underhill, Man.
Came from Bruce County, Ontario,
1882, with a capital of $500. Home
steaded quarter section. Now owns
$500 acres for which he paid average
of 00-worth today $4,000 per acre.
2. James Steel, Battleford, Sas-
katchewan. Came from Perthshire,
Scotland. 1904. His fare advanced to
bring himself and family to Canada.
Took up homestead, which he sold
later $500 per acre, buying 1000
acres at $500 per acre. Has been
very successful in mixed farming.
Values land now at $4,000 per acre,
and is worth $4,000 "If l had re-
NAMED in the Old Country my gray
hairs would have been a passport to
the poor house." he says.
8. H J. Smith, Glover Bar, Alberta.
Came from North Michigan, 1898,
without capital. Now farming 500
acres. valued at 5000 per acre. Pur-
chased originally at $500 per acre.
Engaged in mixed farming. Cows
average him $4,000 a year.
All this talk about the exploitation
of labor by capital, class distinction,
living wage, high cost of living, and
so forth, doesn't hold the slightest
interest for the Canadian farmer.
Why? Because he has proved that
you can't begin too poor to become
rich in Canada; that free homesteads
preclude the possibility of being
robbed of freedom and independence;
that the high cost of living can't hurt
the man who grows most of his own
necessities; that his labor brings re-
ward in exact and just proportion to
time and intelligence invested
If those who whine at urban condi-
tons would give little time to in
vestigating those suburban, they
would likely spy a clear way out of
their difficulties. For the first step,

ment Agent.-Advertisem

May Finish Capitol in 1917.

Those members of the legislature of
1913 who expected to see the north
wing of the capitol finished and that
expensive bit of architecture about
completed were much disappointed on
their return.
One thing said to have delayed the
work on the north wing, the last to be
built, was a strike. That has been the
stock excuse ever since the new cap
itol building was begun. Strikes seem
as common and as much to be expect
ed as f1eas on dog. 1t is either
strike here or strike in the quarrles.
1t will be two years more before the
north wing will be ready for occu-
pancy. This statement will be dis
puted, of course, but remember it and
see how near correct it is. This VIII
bring the building up to 1917, and an
other year more will be needed before
it is finally completed.
And yet there are good things about
the capitol. AS the great white mass
stands out against the clear blue OF
wintry day it presents a beautiful pic
ture, one we'll worth travelling some
distance to see. At night searchlgnt
is played on the big dome from a po-
sition on the east wing. The erect Is
striking.
Then there is the senate chamber
one of the handsomest rooms, arcnl-
tecturally, in the West. if not IN the
entire country. The spaces IN the
walls, which we're incomplete wnen
the legislature met in 1913, have been
filled in with the tan colored marble
panels, adding greatly to the beauty
of the chamber. Back of the CHAIR OF
the presiding officer are three panels
which are to be filed with paintings
The hope has been expressed tnat
they may be an improvement on those
which fill some of the other rooms OF
the building.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy
