GROWTH OF
WESTERN CANADA
Increase in Railway Mileage,
School Attendance and
Population.

Some idea of the extent Of railway
construction in Western Canada can
ne derived from the fact that the rail-
way mileage In the Province Of Al
herta has been doubled in three years.
The present mileage Is 4,097. In all
4, the settled districts there is ample
ranway privileges. The rates are gov
armed by a Dominion Railway Commits
,ion, and in the exercise of their pow.
srs they not only control the rates,
living fair equality to both railway
and shipper, but form a court to hear
complaints of any who may desire to
lodge the same.
In the matter OF education no better
instance OF the advancement that Ii
taking place can be given than that
found In the information to hand that
attendance at the University Of Al
berta has increased 1000 per cent in
Eve years, and is now thoroughly rep
resentative Of all settled portions Of
the Province. The students In attend
snce are from sixty-one distinct dis
tricts.
Then as to the prosperity which fol-

=. Edward Of Blackie, Alta, gives
splendid testimony. He writes, in
the spring Of 1907 I first came to this
locality from the State Of Iowa, Cass
County, and located on a quarter sec

farming, which / have found to be
more profitable than where ! formerly

holdings were small besides having a
family to care for. l now own three
quarter sections, sixty head Of cattle,
twenty head Of horses and forty head

had a crop fail. My best crop OF oats
averaged ninety bushels per acre, with

Gambling with dice and cards has
prevailed from the earliest times. We
do not read Of gambling houses In the
classic literature of Greece, but there
a be no doubt that the vice was very
widely practiced in private houses. In
Rome, under the emperors. gambling
prevailed very extensively. Augustus
and most Of the succeeding sovereigns
were passionately fond Of the dice, and
the Emperor Claudius wrote a book on
the subject. A Roman would trans
port to a gaming resort his whole for
~tune-coins, papers and chattels-and,
after losing all. would even seize the
cloaks OF his slaves to stake on q
change of luck.

You know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether It be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even a severe cold, a relapse
is feared, because sickness robS the
system Of Natures resistance and
leaves It subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up a wom-out
body-only food can do that, and the
first thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated, blood-makmg oil
food in SCOTS Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
