TRADE REVIVAL IN
WESTERN CANADA
Not a Myth but an Actually
Shown in the Returns of Az
ricuItural Statistics and
Every Department OF
Trade and Com
merCe.

The trade revival in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta is an actuality
and not a myth. There is today a
spirit of optimism in the air. just as
two years ago there prevailed the OPP
posite spirit of pessimism.
A general trade revival has been
felt in every department of business In
the Prairie Provinces. The agricul-
turists are In better shape than they
have ever been before In their lives.
No farmers Of any country are in bet
ter financial condition and In q more
general state OF prosperity than are
the farmers OF Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta. The farmers have
harvested record crop--a crop which
enriches them to the extent OF some
thing over $400, 900, 900.
In The cities the prosperity OF the
country has been reflected. Every
where business Is on the hustle. The
wholesalers and the retailers and the
implement dealers find business good
The banks and other collection houses
lind collections satisfactory, and flnan-
cial men declare that westerners are
paying up their debts. In winnipeg
the bank clearings have been the larg-
est in history, exceeding some weeks
the figures of Montreal and Toronto.
The grain shipments have been the
biggest In the history of Winnipeg and
In the history Of the twin ports, Fort
William and Port Arthur. The mail
order houses have had a big year, the
rush OF fall orders exceeding all previ-
Gus years and taxing the capacity Of
these establishments, whose most san.
guine expectations have been exceeded
by the actual business done.
The tide has turned In western Can
ada. The people Of the West are
forging ahead, forging ahead in actual
production and In creation OF wealth,
giving generously to charitable and
other funds, paying up their back
debts, while going along carefully as
regards any creation OF new debts.
They are economizing but not scrimp-
ing, acting cautiously but not misery.
The financial heads OF eastern Canada,
Of the United States and of Europe are
no longer criticizing western Canada:
rather they are unstintedly Offering
their praise and their compliments.
The financial press recognizes that
the tide has turned In western Canada,
and It has been published to the world.
The condition OF western Canada at
the close of 1915 is one Of optimistic
prosperity, backed by the same deter.
mination Of western people to go on
Increasing their productiveness and
maintaining the records which they
have already established.
The trade revival of western Canada
Is the happiest feature in the business
survey of the whole Dominion for 1915
and in the outlook for 1916.--Adver-
isement.

Rai,ino An "F.4D from Water.

In the Popular Science Monthly and
Worlds Advance, Lieutenant Comman-
der Julius A. Furer, who was in COM
mand of the work of raising the i'll
fated submarine "F-4" tells of some
OF the great difficulties which had to
be overcome before the death boat
could be raised.
when the F-4 was finally located
the day following her disappearance
off Honolulu on March %. 1t seemed at
first hopeless to salvage her on account
of the weight to be lifted and the diff
ficulty of making lines fast at the great
depth of 800 feet. All attempts at
dragging the vessel into shallow water,
go that customary salvage methods
might be employed, failed. The vessel
had not even been moved by the drag
ging operations, so far as could be
ascertained from the surface-fairly
conclusiye evidence that all compart-
ments were practically full of water.
That means that the submerged
weight of the submarine was approx
mately $50 tons.
-Four specially constructed wind
lasses were installed on two bottom
dumping mud scows--two on each
scow. The lifting cables were passed
up through the mud pockets and Sc
cured to the windlasses. Instead OF
securing the cables to the vessel, the
loops of the cables were swept under
the submarine and both ends taken to
the windlasses, thus suspendtng the
craft in four slings-two at about one
third the length from the bow, and two
about the same distance from the stern

PREPARATION COCOA
TO BRING OUT ALL
ITS DELIClOUSNESS

Many people have tasted cocoa and
found 1t lacking in the elements they
desire for beverage to be used at ev-
cry meal. Undoubtedly the cocoa was
not properly prepared. Reasonable
care should be exercised in the making.
It is not difficult and the result well
repays the labor expended.
Here is undoubtedly the best recipe
for cocoa. 1t should be remembered,
however, that for the best results only
pure cocoa should be used. This cocoa
comes In finely powdered form and
contains "a per cent cocoa butter.
For every two cups OF cocoa desired
use: Two cupfuls of milk, two tea
spoonsful of pure cocoa, three tea
spoonfuls of sugar. two tablespoonfuls
Of boiling water.
Dissolve the cocoa in boiling water
and when smooth add hot milk, let 1t
boil up once. Stir well and pour into
a hot pot. Serve with whipped cream
or serve in small cups and place a
spoonful OF whipped cream on top.
Another delightful drink Is cocoa
egg shake.
The igredients for this are: Two cup
fuls of cocoa made according to the
recipe Just given, egg, whipped cream.
After the cocoa has become very
cold add the well beaten egg, sweeten
and strain. Beat well, pour into glass
and serve. Place a spoonful of whip
ped cream on the top of each glass.

Harm Done BY Hertzian Waves

Eyer since the extensive commercial
enjoyment of wireless telegraphy,
there have been many who believe
that the powerful Hertzian waves Sc
riously AFFECT organic life. In fact,
some have even suggested that laws
OF regulations should be enacted to
protect organic life against wireless
waves. With view to determining
the extent and nature of the radio
waves influence on organic life and
climate, DIR. c. Abel-Musgrave recent
iy asked several questions on the sub
ject 10 be answered by number OF
prominent German scientists. The
summary of their answers was that
wireless waves have no influence on
organic life. nor do they alter climatic
conditions. although it lie true that
certain electrical stresses are capable
of accelerating rainfalls.

The scene OF the suicide was staged

He tells the story. Sew gal week.. ago,

The female had not been in the

According to Butler, the male refused

was startled by the crash of glass a

against the broken showcase and, after
continuing this performance for sever

TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH
KIDNEYS IF BACK HURTS

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog

else we have backache and dull misery
In the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region. get about four ounces OF Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in glass OF
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys win then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid OF grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. II also neu
