ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
DOESN'T HURT A BIT!
No fooIishness! Lift your corns
and calIuses off with fingers
It's like magic!

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers II you
apply upon the corn a few drops of
freezone, says Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get small
bottle of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
1t is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while ap-
plying 1t or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many Of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

WESTERN CANADA LEADS
AS WHEAT PRODUCER
342,0o0,O00 Bushels Wheat in
1915; In 1916 Many Farm
ers Paid for Their Land
Out of Their Crop.

That Western Canada is indeed
Mistress of Wheat" to the extent that
Its 1915 crop exceeded. acre for acre,
the production of any country on this
continent is a striking fact proved by
the following figures:
In 1915 the Dominion of Canada pro-
duced 3T6OO0,OOO bushels of wheat,
which represented an average yield of
~ bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1,O11, sos 900 bushels,
yield of II bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors in wheat produc-
ton in South America were Argentine,
with 1922 900 bushels, or less than
Il bushels per acre. and Chile, with
100000 bushels or 13 bushels per
tacre
The three Western Canadian prairie
Provinces of Manitoba. Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
342, 100000 bushels out of the total Ca
madam 376,000,000 bushels. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that, outside of the
United States, Western Canada pro-
duced considerably more than the com
bined production of North and South
Alierlcd. Odnuuu is OF COURSE new
settled country, and the fact that the
crop of the United States was practi-
cally three times as much is no dis
couragement. The United States has
at present more than twelve times the
population of Canada in approximately
the same area.
To illustrate further the greater pro-
ductiveness of Western Canadian land
we submit the following figures, show
Ing the 1915 yields per acre in the
three provinces of Western Canada
and in che states which in that year
produced the greatest quantity of
wheat. The figures are taken from the
U. S. department of agriculture's an
nual report and from the figures of the
Dominion census bureau:

Why rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather |!
BY VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE, M. D.

A close connection exists between
these two = cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system OF uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause OF rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance OF their
water as soon as it gets cold ; there is
often copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation OF uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
gout, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care

MIST00K HUNTER FOR STUMP
Nimrod's Peculiar Experience With q
Lynx Who Had Been After
Squirrel Dinner.

was once teaching school, writes a
Companion reader, in backwoods
region, where game was very plenti.
ful- One afternoon in the hunting sea-
son l made my way to small valley
about u mile from the settlement,
down which ran a well-beaten deer
trail
L took my post on n small hill that
commanded a good view of the valley.
In front of me, and about II feet dis
tant, was large pine tree; behind me
was an old stump. As the evening
was cool, 1 wore gray sweater, and
my hat was also gray.
After waiting for nearly an hour, ]
noticed a movement In a small clump
of bushes to my right. Then the horns
and head of large buck appeared,
but he drew back before / had a
chance to fire. With rifle cooked and
finger on the trigger, crouched wait
ing for him to show himself again,
A squirrel chartered sharply from
the stump behind. Then he landed
squarely on the top of my head, from
which he sprang to the tree. Imme-
diately after 1 was thrown violently
forward on my face by some heavy
object that descended with great force
on my back. The blow almost drove
the breath from my body. My rifle
was discharged as / fell.
Very much surprised and consider
ably alarmed, l scrambled to my feet,
but nothing living was in sight. ]
peered behind stumps and fallen logs,
more mystified every moment. No owl
swooping down upon the squirrel
could have inflicted such blow, neith-
er had any limb fallen from the tree.
1 looked up among the thick foliage,
but there was nothing to be seen.
walked round to the other side of the
tree. On large bough, but well hid
den, dlscerned dim, gray shape. 1t
was full-grown lynx. 1 brought him
down by a well-dlrected shot.
Now | understood the situation. Near
the stump on which the squirrel had
been sitting lay large log. Behind
this the lynx had crept on his prey
In escaping, the little animal had
leaped to my head, and thence to the
tree. His enemy had followed him,
and he must have been nightly sur
prised at landing on man, and also
by the report of my rifle.
Naturally saw nothing more of the
deer, but was richer by a fine lynx
skin and most uncommon expert.

In 1916 the crop was not as heavy,
but the yields in many districts were
very large. SO large, indeed, was the
acreage under cultivation in 1915 that
the resulting crop proved too large to be
all threshed the same fall. 1t over
lioaded railroads, and made marketing
slow. A less amount of fall blowing
was done than would have been done
In less heavy year, because the aver
age farmer was too busy with his
threshing. All these conditions nee
essarily reacted upon the acreage
seeded in the spring of 1916 Add to
this that labor last year, owing to the
great number of Canadians who have
enlisted, was scarce and high-priced.
and one factor in the decreased yield
smaller acreage under crop was evil
dent
Another factor, is that this year
Western Canada has experienced in
common with the entire North Ameri-
can continent, conditions that have
been less favorable to the production
of big crops. The conditions have re-
suited in smaller yield per acre and
reduced grade of grain in certain local
tiles.
The average yield of wheat in the
three western provinces is estimated
by the government at about 16 bushels
per acre, oats 43 bushels, and barley
27 bushels.
The financial value of their crops to
Western Canadian farmers has been
greater this year than ever before.
Owing to the high prices of grain that
are prevailing, returns have been re-
ceived that are extremely profitable.
With wheat standing at the present
time at over $1.90 per bushel at the
Great Lakes, wheat crop at present
figures would pay the farmer, even
supposing he had only the average of
16 bushels per acre, over $4,000 per
acre. a large number are receiving
$1,000 per acre-some have received
$500, and few even more than that
This price, of course. is not all profit:
1t represents the gross return, and the
cost of operation must be deducted.
But Ii does not, even at the highest fig
ures, cost more than 65 cents to raise
bushel of wheat In Western Canada,
so that the profit can be figured accord
ingly. 1t must be emphasized that the
acre which produces a $4,000 crop costs
in the first case. probably less than
that In the United States the same
class of land would cost in many dis
tricts from 500 to $500 per acre, and
even then a return of $1,000 would be
considered extremely satisfactory. In
