TALK ON WESTERN
CANADA
Facts Don't Lie-WeStern Can.
ada Is Full of FaCts-Here
Are Three of Them.

/. 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 S20.00-worth today $4,000 per acre.
2. James Steel, Battleford, Sas-
katchewan. Came from P~erthshire,
Scotland. 1904. His fare advanced &c
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 | had re-
NAMED in the Old Country my gray
hairs would have been a passport to
the poor house." he says.
3. II. ]. Cmith, 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 eXac and just proportion to
time and intelligence invested.
sIf those who whine at urban condi-
tons would give a little time to in
vestigating those suburban, they
would likely spy a clear way out OF
their difficulties. For the first step,
drop a card to any Canadian Govern
ment Observation-Disclosures.

SYRUP OF figs FOR
4 CH|LD'S BOWELS
1t is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them. how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form Of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is wellfound-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach. liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli.
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive. but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach. and that a t~easpoonful
given today saves 4 sick child tomor-
row.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
cd, 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 1t at home. which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get a 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 1t does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with 1t 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

Claim Prophecy Fulfilled.

A conference Of Bible students held
recently at Keswick. n. j., revived an
ancient prophecy concerning Egypt.
the literal fulfillment of which, they
asserted. has been borne out in his
tory. The prophecy is found in Eze-
kiel 29:l3-l5 and 30:l3. Part of
it reads as follows: 1T shall be
the basest of kingdoms, neither shall
it exalt itself any more above the
nations, for ] shall diminish them that
they shall no more rule over the ma
tons ... and there shall be no
more a prince OF the land of Egypt;
and ! will put a fear in the land OF
Egypt" Since this prophecy was
written. said one of the speakers,
Egypt has been ruled by the Babylo-
mans, the Romans and the Turks.
and now 1t has passed under the alb
solute sway Of England. Yet Egypt
once was the greatest and richest OF
the worlds nations.

rushed through.
The house killed the bill appropriate
ing $4,000 extra for farmers institute
work. The vote was 81 to Al, but lack.
ed the necessary two-thirds. Superin.
tendent Stoner, of farmers institutes,
was criticised for not keeping the cost
of his work within the appropriation.
The house committee on state af-
fairs reported against the bill, reduc.
ing the maximum legal interest from
IL to 10 per cent. THE house changed

the report, contrary to the unanimous
report of the committee.
