Reducing liiiteracy.

Only fifteen out OF every one thou
sand children from ten to fourteen
years of age in the United States are
unable to read and write.
These figures just announced by the
federal bureau of education show a
striking decrease in child illiteracy
during the last fourteen years. In 1900
the number of illiterate children be-
tween the ages of ten and fourteen
was forty-two in every thousand. In
1910 this number was reduced to TWEEN
ty-two. Four years have further low

Assuming only the latter rate of de.

arrived immigrant families. Nor can
the present rate of improvement fail
to produce in the same period

2. James Steel, Battleford, Sass

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 had re-

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.

tons would give a little time to in

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR

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 cid 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

action is positive, but gentle. Millions
| of mothers keep this harmless fruit

love to take it: that it never fails to
| clean the liver and bowels and sweet

Ankeny. a youthful lawyer of Lincoln,
asked in petition filed in district

$50 to repay her for the wedding gar

the fault of Ankeny, We're not used.
The $4,000 is for lacerated affections
and humiliation endured. The plain
tiff alleges that Anleny most assldu-

telephone and dropping in every eve

that she was his aftianced. Ankeny
married another woman, however. She
