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

I. G. T. Moore, Underhill, Man.
Came from Bruce County, Ontario,
1882, with 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 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. eff / had re-
manned in the Old Country my gray
hairs would have been passport to
the poor house," he says.
8. H. J. Smith, Glover Bar, Alberta.
Came from North Michigan, 1893,
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 a little time to in
vestigating those suburban, they
would likely spy clear way out Of
their difficulties. For the first step,
drop a card to any Canadian Govern
ment Agent.-Advertisem

The Fresh Air Cure,

Plenty of fresh, pure air is an es.
sential part of patients treatment
Pure air is just as important and
necessary for good health as are pure
food and pure water.
Fresh air and sunlight are the
cheapest and best agents for the re
covery of an i'll person.
Let fresh air and sunlight enter
your sick rooms, through open win
dows as much as possible.
Expose the bed clothing to the open
air and sunshine for some time each
day.
Sleep with the bedroom windows
open, says nurse. The old supersti-
ton that night air is unhealthy even
for an invalid is entirely false. On
the contrary, night air. especially in
large cities, is purer and better than
day air, because it contains less dust
and fewer microbes.
To get the best ventilation have the
window open at both top and bottom.

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 oculists should go to school to the
nandmaids Of Morpheus. Mr.. F ank
ii. Hayes, who has been stone blind
Tor 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 1t was Boston bedpost, but If it
was really effected in this way there
would seem to be good deal in such
1nanimate 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 very efficacious pros
ess, and that the only way to make
some folks see things is by knocking
them into their heads.-Baltimor Sun.

Just after the fall of Bloemfontein
soldiers were called for, owing to the
scarcity of civilians, to work the rail-
way. The weary "Tommies" were
lying in a camp one night after hard

out:

the supreme cabinet material of so
years ago, has come back. True, they

to Miss Elizabeth Arnold of New

event, formal announcement was not
made until last week when the bride
elect entertained a few special friends
at her home on 18th street. The we'd
ding will take place on Thursday,

Mr.. Weathers is the second son of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. A. Weathers. who

friends in wishing him a welded life
of supreme happiness.

TO SELL MONTE y UE.

The county commissioners at the
next session of the Maryland Legisla-
ture will take aggressive steps to
have the State take over Montevue
Hospital and use it as an asylum for
tubercular patients. The initiative in
the movement was taken on Saturday
when the entire Board OF County Com
missioners went to Annapolis and at
tended the State Conference on Tu-
berculosis. Mr.. Cyrus F. Flock, presi-
dent of the Board of School Commits
sioners, spoke for the delegation and
urged that the county institution be
considered for this purpose.
Montevue Hospital and the sur
rounding farm property owned by the
county can be secured by the State
for great deal less than $250,000.
President of the Board of County Com
missioners, John W. Hotter, said last
night that the board had set no price
on the institution, but of course, want
ed as much as they could get for the
property.
Its not likely that very much can
be done before the coming session of
the Maryland Legislature, which will
convene next fall" he added, "however
we are going to push the matter to the
utmost"
Montevue Hospital is regarded a
burden to the county. The building
is entirely too large for the county's
needs. Last year the greater nuIIi-
Der of the county insane was sent to
the State asylums. 1t is claimed that
this building while entirely too large
for the county is admirably adapted
for the State and could be used to adj
vantage in treating cases of tubercu-
losis.
Physicians from ell parts of the
State are interested in Montevue. AL
though none came out to endorse the
movement to have the building taken
over by the state, it is probable they
will make On investigation. The state
has but one main building for the
treatment of tuberculosis patients and
that is at Sabillasville. The idea is to
establish buildings throughout the
State.
