SPEAKS Up FOR CANADA

Per Acre.

So many Americans now have per.
sonal knowledge Of Canada that false
reports concerning this country are
being continually corrected by Amer
leans themselves who know the facts,
and who are too fair-minded to let a
false statement go unchallenged. A
case in point arises out of a statement
supposed to be made by resident OF
Alberta, and published recently in the
Spokesman-Review, of Spokane, in
which the condition Of settlers in this
country was painted in very bad
way indeed. The writer of this at.
tack on Canada refused to let his
name be known, so it can be taken
for what it is worth, but Mr.. S. L.
Wallace, Of N 4723 Crestline, Spokane
who lived for some years in Western
Canada, came to the defense of the
country in the following letter which
was published in the Spokesman-Re'
view of February II, 1876
ITO the Editor of the Spokesman-Re-
view:
I'm Sundays Spokesman-Review was

chamber of commerce, asking that
something be done to keep Americans
from going to Canada, and saying that
that government was run by the rail
roads, banks and manufacturers; that
once a man got there he never could
get away. Had this man published
that letter over his own signature
there is no doubt but he could get out
of Canada.
No country WIFI. do as much to help
a man to get on his feet, if he tries to
help himself, as Canada. l know OF
the government helping people to pro
visions, feed, seed grain and fuel, and
charging only cost of delivery to the

more could man ask?

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and

Brink q glass Of real hot water
before breakfast to wash

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
well, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is If one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feed
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach.
can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach. The ac-
ton of hot water and limestone phos-
plate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. 1t cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one splendid ap-
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for thorough flushing
Of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism; others
who have sallow skins, blood disor-
ders and sickly compilations are urged
to get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any store that handles
drugs which will cost very little, but
is sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on the subject of in
ternal sanitation.-Adv.
