When You Have a Cold.

It Is quite true that many persons dU
not consider cold as n serious matter
but, on the other hand, there are many
persons who are too easily scared by
tho common ailment. There are some
things which should be tried at home
to see IL some relief cannot be gained.
Frequently cold Is developed because
OF the systems need Of rest, therefore,
1t Is obvious that rest will do much to
drive the uncomfortable condition
awuy. The next important step in the
compaign)is to keep the system cleaned
ont Drinking plenty Of water and
breathing in inches Of pure, fresh air
are also quite essential. Since colds
are contagious, one cannot be too care
full. In place of handkerchiefs one
should use squares of soft muslin or
cheesecloth, which can be burnt after
being used.

4 DIFFERENCE IN
THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada Farm Prof.
its Are Away in Excess.

Mr.. George III. Barr, of Iowa. holds
seven sections of land in Saskatche-
wan. These he has fenced and rent
ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
all paying good interest on the invest
ment.
Mr.. Barr says that farm land at
home In Iowa is held at $3.50 per acre.
These lands are in high state of Gull
tivation. with splendid improvements
in houses, barns, stables and silos, and
yet the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share OF
crop on u quarter section in Saskatche-
wan, wheat on new breaking, gave him
35 per cent on the capital invested
$500 an acre. The crop yield was
80 bushels per acre. This year the
same quarter-section, sown, to Red
Fife on stubble gave 1926 bushels. His
share, 1,643 bushels of 1 Northern at
$1.5G per bushel, gave him 81, 563.08.
Seed, half the Irvine and half the
threshing bill cost him $453.O0. Allow
ih6 u VI TIC tApChSC VI ITO ah-
nual inspection trip. charged to this
quarter-section even to $1,000, and he
has left 100000, that is 80 per cent
Of the original cost of the land. Any
one can figure up that another aver
age crop will pay, not or per cent
on investment, as in Iowa. but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
'"That's no joke now"
Mr.. Barr was instrumental In bring
Ing number of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. II. Kerton, q tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought quarter
section Of improved land at $1,000 an
acre near Hanley. From proceeds OF
crop In 1914, 1915, 1915, he has paid
for the land. Mr.. Barr asked him
week ago: "Well. George, what shall
/ tell friends down home for your"
The reply was: "Tell them I shall
never go back to be a tenant for any
man." Another man, Charles Haight.
realized $4,000 in cash for his wheat
crops in 1915 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when at home devotes
most OF his time to raising and deal
ing In live stock. On his first visit OF
inspection to Saskatchewan, he real
lied the opportunity there was here
for grazing cattle. So bic quarter
sections. not occupied, were fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm
ers adjoining. His creed is: LET ma
ture supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then in the
fall. take them to farmsteads to be
finished for market There is money
In it."-Adyertisement.

SHOW PICTURES OF WARES
Only Way Russian Merchants Can Let
Illiterate Peasants Know What
They Have to Sell.

Advertising seems to be nm indispen-
sable part Of modern life, and in Rus
STA, where most of the peasantry are
extremely illlterate, ingenious ways of
advertising may be seen. Beside the
printed designs Of the different shops,
which would be quite meaningless to
the customers, are painted pictures of
what wares are sold there.
The baker shows his roIs, ioaves
and cakes; fish arc seen Mt another
place; tea may be found over there
where one sees the teacups and sau-
GERS, and thus is everything else To-
Gated. For the convenience Of the
peasant the houses are painted various
bright colors, so that he can finj his
way among them.

bles he listens to bells which are rung
at the stations. When one bell rings

AGENT GOOD BUSINESS MAN

Hard to Beat.

Last summer In a suburban town,
when circus was billed for the city,
the billposters came, to cover the dead
walls with tho haring announcements.
Near the railway station was build
ing that had It's walls annually deco
rated. The station agent, who was in
no way related to the owner of the
building, saw the walls being deco
rated. near the station, and thus ac-
costed the billposter:
"Does pu know you're putting up
them bills here?"
"Why, no, 1 didn't think there'd bO
any trouble"

don't think pad like this"
The Snowman handed him a ticket
for the circus.

the agent. "If you didn't ask pa.

this or not" ~
The blllposter1 gave him another
ticket.
won't that fix it?'
"Well," replied the agent, "pa's awful
particular. but guess can fix it."
The owner of the building later
heard the story, and going to the agent
demanded the tickets, explaining that
the building belonged to him. The
agent declared that "if the building
does belong to you, 1t was my idea,
wasn't it2' This apparently settled
the matter, as the agents little girl
