BY WALTER ROSS.

~ f ALL the cities on the Pa
cific coast of this continent,
Prince Rupert is the most
surprising. The genius of a
railway man, aided by a shipload OF
high explosives and a lavish expendi-
ture OF money, brought it into being
with the same surprising rapidity with
which the stage magician produces q
rabbit from his hat.
The writer, with a hundred other
Americans and Canadians, first heard
OF the city's existence one spring day
half dozen years ago. The Austral-
ian mail boat Makura, after a record
trip across the Pacific from Sydney,
N. S. W., was proudly nosing her way
into Vancouver harbor when held up
by an outward-bound tramp loaded to
the line with men and materials. The
men were bound north to make the
first blasts in the work of removing
mountain of rock for the site of the
new city, which was to be the western
terminal of Canada's newest trans
continental railway the Grand Trunk
Pacific. Vancouver and Seattle were
agog with the news-a new sea port
on the north coast of British Columbia
within a few miles of the Alaskan Dor
der.
Today, where less than seven years
ago the first white man set his foot,
there is a bustling community of 5000
people living and working in fine thor
oughfares overlooking a great natural
harbor, which is in the center of the
worlds richest fishing grounds.
Can Handle Great Vessels.
A few weeks ago, without any
furore, the Prince Rupert people
watched the steamer Delhi, salvaged
from the Alaskan coast, brought into
harbor and placed in dry dock. This
marked the opening for business of a
100000 investment, floating dry
dock and ship-repairing plant which
can handle a merchantmen or battle
ship of 10000 tons displacement. 1t is
enterprise such as this that spells sure
prosperity for this northern port
Cities which have been earning a
livelihood for centuries from the thou
sands of ocean carriers would be proud
to own such facilities as this great
floating dry dock.
This faith which moves mountains
to make place for town sites and
spends millions on a single machine is
making Prince Rupert famous, and the
faith Of its people is justified. They
are $50 miles nearer Yokohama than
Vancouver and 500 miles nearer than
San Francisco. II you wish to take
the shortest route round the world
from London, your trip will take you

KIDNEY TROUBLE
NOT RECOGNIZED

An examining physician FOR one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
On interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 80 COM
mon to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
According to this it would seem that
medicine for the kidneys, possessing real
healing and curative properties, would be
. blessing to Thousands.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the well
known kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
70 remarkably successful in sickness caused
by kidney and bladder troubles 1t is mild
and gentle in its action and its healing in
duence is soon noticed in most cases.
There is no other remedy like Swamp
Root. 1t will surely and effectively over
come kidney, liver and bladder troubles
and you can depend upon it. Go to any
drug store and get a bottle 80 as to start
treatment today. You will soon see .
marked improvement.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

tanning the bluing water. Remove
the bird from the water, hold it's legs
firmly and raise it up and down quick
ly, so that 1t will flap and expand its
wings and tail and shake out the wa
ter. Do not use a towel to dry q
white bird
Move the exhibition coop near the
fire or some heat, so that the bird
will dry. Lifting up the plumage OF
the breast and opening the feathers
of the fluff while drying has a ten
dency to increase the apparent size OF
these sections. 1t is necessary to ex-
anime the white birds frequently II
the coops are near stove to guard
against overheating them or scorch-
ing or curling their feathers.
The shanks and feet of exhibition
fowls must be absolutely clean and
well polished. To overcome rough
scales rub the legs twice daily with
cloth dipped in kerosene, and a
short time before the show wash them
thoroughly. Use good securing soap,
wooden cloth, and warm rainwater.
Remove any old or rough scales and
also the dirt between the scales. The
latter can be taken out with tooth
picks. Dry the shanks and apply a
solution of equal parts of sweet Oil
and alcohol. Then warm a wooden
cloth and scrape a little beeswax on
it. The warmth will melt the wax,
and the shanks should then be polished
with the waxed cloth.
Before shipping the birds to the ex-
hibition apply the sweet oil and alcohol
solution to the face and comb. If you
are showing white birds, fill their
plumage, after washing and when thor
oughly dry, with equal parts of bran
and rice flour. Some exhibitors use
cornstarch, which is equally satisfac-
tory. This prevents the plumage be-
coming soiled, and when the starch is
shaken out at the show and the fowls
are groomed they apparently take a
higher polish. However, the coops
must have wooden or muslin tops and
sides to prevent rain coming in con-
tact with the starched plumage. The
final grooming is accomplished with a
silk handkerchief rubbing and polish
ing the feathers until the plumage has
high luster.

WHEN KIDNEYS ACT BAD
TAKE GLASS OF SALTS
Eat Less Meat II Kidneys Hurt or You
Have Backache or Bladder Misery
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
BILE, nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
come from sluggish Kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or IL
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full OF
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation OF scalding, get
any reliable pharmacy and take q
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This IA
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia and has been used for genera
tons to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu-
traliZe the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink which all reg
ular meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean and
the blood pure, thereby avoiding se-
rious kidney omplications.-Adv.

Not a Bite Of

You Drink Water
Says a glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps US fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves

bustible material In the form of ashes.
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal q
certain amount of indigestible mate
rial, which IL not completely eliminat-
ed from the system each day, becomes
food FER the millions of bacteria which
infest tie bowels. From this mass of
leftover waste, toxins and ptomaine-
like poisons are formed and sucked
into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink glass of real hot wa

Those who are subject to sick head

others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quarter
pound OF limestone phosphate from
any druggist or storekeeper, and be-
gin practicing internal sanitation.
This will cost very little, but is suffi-
cient to make anyone an enthusiast
on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.

A GOOD CHANGE.

larly from stomach and nervous trou-
bles. AS an illustration: A lady in
Mo. was brought around to health
again by leaving off coffee and some
articles of food that did not agree with
her.
She says:
For number of years l suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble which
kept getting worse until l was i'll
most of the time. About four years
ago l left of coffee and began using
Postum. My stomach and bowels
improved right along, but was so re-
duced in flesh and so nervous that the
least thing would overcome me.
Then l changed my food and began
using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. l lived on these two princi-
pally for about four months. Day by
day l gained in flesh and strength I'M

Husband was troubled, for a long

slept badly. Finally prevailed upon
him to leave OF coffee and take
Postum. After he tried Postum for
a few days he found that he could
sleep and that his cramps disappeared.
He never went back to coffee" Name
