THE BUILDING
OF A COUNTRY
The Natural Pride of Those Who
Take Part in II.

To those who have built railroads
through and across the prairies of
Western Canada. connecting that great
empire of grain and cattle. horse and
sheep with the worlds markets in the
east, must be awarded the privilege
OF looking upon their work. and its
results with pardonable pride. II they
reminiscence. and tell of the hardships
and the privations. why shouldn't
they? The broad prairies on which
the buffalo roamed and fed. are now
alive with cities. towns and villages.
Farms-large and small-on which
machinery has chased the bugaboo Of
laborious work of the farm, and max
ing farm life one of the most pleasant
and prosperous OF occupations-are
being cultivated by men of the highest
stamp of manhood. Many OF these
have inherited from their forebears
the physical strength and the high
type OF manliness that was theirs in
the days when they hewed their homes
out OF the virgin forest. and made
them what may be seen today. beau
tfful farms in the east On the whole
the western prairies breed a high type
Of manhood. wrest from him faults
and diseases which would be his were
1t not for the upbuilding influence and
character Of prairie life.
When the builder OF the western Ca
madam prairie looks upon the result of
his work. why shouldn't his chest ex-
pand? 1t was probably some OF this
feeling OF pride that took possession
OF Sir Donald Mann. vice president OF
the Canadian Northern Railway the
other day in Winnipeg. when he said ::
Il am not in the habit of giving ad-
vice, but have no hesitation OF advis-
ing the young men of Canada. every
young man, to get out and get a piece
of western Canada's land that now
can be had for the asking and be their
own masters"
1t was &c years ago when ! first
came to Winnipeg" he said. "At that
time there were less than 10000
people west of Lake Huron In Canada.
and the only bit OF railway in opera
tion was between st. Boniface and EN-.
erson-about sixty miles. Today there
are nearly 10000 miles of railway in
actual operation and the population is
over two and n quarter million, a won
derful achievement in such short pc.
rfod you will agree. when you have
contemplated 1t moment
AT that time all the -four. meat and
many other supplies for our contracts
were brought from the States. Now
consider what the west is doing to
day. You have a grain production ex
ceeding billion bushels and yet only
a comparatively small area OF the till
able land of the country is occupied
Five years hence you will be more
than doubling at."-Advertisement

A GLASS OF SALTS WILL
END KlDNEY-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 q
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with mild. harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 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 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
neutralize the acids in urine 80 1t no
longer is source OF Irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: cannot in
Jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater 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.-Ady.

The young man bowed gravely. and

broken water again flashed beside the
boat, and the overarm swing crawled
once more toward the rocks. At the
same instant. a sharp streak cut in a
circle out toward the open bay as the
electric started.
1t was easy to follow the launch by
the CLEAN of its wake Sayville had
expected il to swing north toward the
hotel. but, to his surprise, it headed in
the opposite direction, making down
the bay toward the mouth at fun
speed. For half an hour, he followed,
passing it and circling overhead TO
wait, for it was impossible for him to
fly as slowly as the rs miles an hour
the little craft was making Soon,
ahead, he saw a dim light on shore
there was a CLEAN Of an electric flash
lamp from the launch, an answering
swing of the lantern ashore-and al
most instantly came the sharp reports
of a starting motor followed by a
deep and vibrant purr as the relief
cocks were closed.
Sayville thrilled at the sound. It
was the hydroplane from the steamer
He saw it dart out to meet the
launch. The two scarcely slackened
their speed as they ran side by side.
and then the little electric swung off
and headed up the bay. while the hy-
drOplane threw on full power and

Sayville. puzzled At first. suddenly
realized its meaning It was the spray
broken by a swimmer, swinging rhyth-
mically in a side-arm stoke. Some
one had been waiting on the rocks in
the darkness for this launch-some
one from the station who, on hearing
the faint whistle signal. had silently
slipped into the water and was making
for the little boat
Sayville was tempted to descend to
the surface in a sudden swOOp and
turn his searchlight upon them, but a
moments reasoning told him that that
would still leave the mystery Of the
steamers hydrOplane unsolved. This
swimmer could be attended to from
the shore.
He put his wireless phones over his
ears without taking his eyes from the
scene below. Fitted as his spark cap
was, with a silencer that made il in
audible, his call for Warner could not
have been heard even by a passenger
in his own machine. Soon the ensign
at the station answered him
Man swimming out from station to

has no lights. Faint whistle signals
exchanged Looks suspicious. Get or

His answer was not long delayed
"JOline Will arrest man when he
