TIE BUILDING
Of 4 COUNTRY
The Natural Pride of Those Who
Take Part in 1t.

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. If they
Renaissance, 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 ard 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
tifuI 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
it 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? It 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 adj
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 So years ago when | first
came to Winnipeg" he said. cat 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-
erson-about sixty miles. Today there
are nearly 10000 miles Of railway in
actual operation and the population is
over two and a quarter million, a won
derful achievement in such short Pc
riod you will agree, when you have
contemplated it 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 a billion bushels and yet only
comparatively small area Of the till
able land of the country is occupied.
Five years hence you will be more
than doubling that"

good a tip as ever.
For successful pic making use old
tin plates when baking custard, pump
kin Or one-crust pie. If a new tin
is bought, brown it well in the oven
before using it. A custard pie must
be baked crisp and brown on the bot
tom to be palatable, and thick, heavy
pans make a soggy crust.
Polish mirrors with alcohol, then
rub with whiting and polish. The fin
ish will be much superior to any other
treatment. This is good for windows.
Brush silk with piece OF velvet or
velveteen. Never use brush on silk.
A WORKOUT fancy waist may be
made into q pretty little afternoon
apron, by carefully cutting out the
front. If there are embroidered
sleeves, pockets may be made OF them.
To Cure Car Sickness.-There are
any number of remedies, like the eat
ing Of raisins. dry crackers, etc, but
here comes one called infallible, given
by sleeping car porter. Eat several
slices of raw potato, plentifuliy sprin-
killed. with salt. Sailed crackers would
probably have the same result and be
more digestIble.
When cleaning any garment or
gloves, mix gasoline with -four; rub
this paste well into the soiled spots
and brush well after the gasoline is
evaporated Peroxide will take out
fruit stains. even of long standing.
One application put on when they are
on the line is usually sufficient. This
need not be washed out as it does not
injure the fabric.
Velvet covers to coat hangers are
much better than silk as the garment
does not slip off so easily.

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi
soning occurs, and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis
ease, or disease of brain or lungs.
