THE Ranking Committee notes with
satisfaction tho growing interest shown
by the women tennis players as evil
dcnccd by the large" numbers entering
the tournaments, and in new IDEAS and
suggestions advanced by several of our
active Eastern players.
1T has been suggested that the East
crn and Western women players hc
ranked separately because they seldom
come into competition.
The committee considers that there
is hardly a sufficient number of active
players. however. in tho East and West
to necessiia,c IA separate ranking.
The Ranking Committee Is extremely
disappointed in not being able to rauk
any player from southern California

stores health to the kidneys and is just
the remedy needed to overcome such con-
ditions.

However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

the vital importance of keeping the

Drink lots of water-you can't drink

take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast each morning
for a few days and your kidneys will

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

To those who have built railroads

of looking upon their work, and lts

the buffalo roamed and fed, are now

Farms-large and small-on which
machinery has chased the bugaboo OF
laborious work off 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
tiful farms in the east. On the whole
the western prairies breed high type
of manhood, wrest from him faults
and diseases which would be his were

character of prairie life.
When the builder of the western Ca

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 advts-
ing the young men of Canada, every
young man. to get out and get piece
of western Canada's land that now
can be had for the asking and be their
own masters"
"It was SO years ago when l 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
ton was between ST. Boniface and EN-

are nearly 10000 miles of railway In
