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

1. 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 $20.00-worth today $4,000 per acre.
2. James Steel, Battleford, Sas'
k%atchewan. 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-
manned in the Old Country my gray
hairs would have been a passport to
the poor house." he says.
8. H. J. Smith, Clover Bar, Alberta.
Came from North Michigan, 1893,
without capital. Now farming 800
acres, valued at 5000 PEI 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 a clear way out of
their difficulties. For the first step,
drop a card to any Canadian Govern
ment Northumberland.

BILIOUS, HEADACHY,
SICK 'CASCARETS'
Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.
Get a 1O.cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi-
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, ~fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull, t~hrobbing, sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the corstipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while ysu sleep-a 1O-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear. stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Adv.

A GLASS OF SALTS WILL
END KIDNEY-BACKACHE
Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Rec.
ommends Only Salts, Particularly
II Bladder Bothers You.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore. don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot Of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal actiy-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from 1t 500 grains Of acid and
waste, SO we can readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces Of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast each morning
for a few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
n~eutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source Of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful e~ffervescent
lithiawater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became Of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Adv.

Physical Valuation.

Physical valuation of the railroads
of this state has been requested by a
member of the house of representa-
tives, and probably no bills changing
passenger rates will be considered un-
til these statistics are obtained.
Representative Becker introduced a
resolution, stating that, as the inter
state commerce commission is making
valuations in Missouri, and that it is
necessary for the general assembly to
have data on the earnings of the com
mon carriers, no action be taken on
rates until this information is OBJ
tanned.

New Constitution PROPOSED in Bill.

Voters in Missouri probably win
ballot at a special election Aug. 4,
1915, to decide whether a constitu-
tional convention shall be called in
this state. A measure providing for
such a conclave was introduced in the
house by Representative Drake Wat
SON.
The bill provides chat should the
voters approve the delegates selected
should meet the first Monday in
March, 1916, at Jefferson City. The
act also provides for an appropriation
Of $4,000 to pay the cost of the cleo
tion and expenses of the delegates.
The repeated failure Of amendments
to the instrument indicate that the
people are unwilling to patch IN the
old document, but may be viii. lg to
adopt an entirely new one.
