CeIery's Many Virtues.

There is but little enlightenment af-
forded in the everyday culinary liter
allure on the many uses of that deli
cious plant known as celery. Proba-
bly, no other plant is so well adapted
to cooking in so many different styles
as celery, a vegetable that can also
be eaten raw.
There is hardly any other vegetable
of which every part can be brought to
such good account. The trimmings
can be used for flavoring purposes, or
for soup and broth, while the seeds are
carefully preserved for similar uses,
or to produce celery salt, which in it.
self forms an ideal table condiment.

Because Of the scarcity of paper
the London Times has raised its price
to four cents. One hundred years ago,
in the taxation following Waterloo, it
was II cents, equal to 40 cents now.
Poor men did not read it; most of
them then could not read anything; 1t

by the wealthy. The price dropped.

MADE $4,000
OUT Of HOGS
On His Western Canadian Farm.

1t is getting to be long drawn out
story, the way that Western Canadian
farmers have made money. Many of
them a few years ago, came to the
country with little more than their
few household effects, probably team
of horses and q COW or two, and suffi-
cient money to do them for few
months, until they got start. Hun
dreds of such can be pointed out, who
today have splendid homes, well
equipped farms, the latest machinery
and an automobile. Here is the case
of A. E. Merriam, formerly of Devils
Lake, n. D. He didn't leave there be-
cause the land was poor, or farming
not q success, for all who know that
country are aware that it is an excel
lent country. He wanted to expand.
to take advantage of the cheap land
that Western Canada offers. And that
same story has appealed to hundreds
of others who have had like success
with Mr.. Merriam. But his story, and
he signs it, too, is:
II came to Alberta in the Spring OF
1909 from Devils Lake, North Dakota,
locating on my farm near Dalroy.
u arrived with six head of horses
and two head OF cattle and about
$500. Since thei,, I have increased
my live stock to seven head of horses,
four head of cattle, and about one hun
dred head of hogs, a four-roomed
house, good barn with all modern i'm
provements, a feed grinder, elevator,
chopper, tanning mill, etc. l have in
creased my original capital at least
four times more since coming here.
From the feeding of hogs during
the last year, I had a gross return of
$1,000.
81 first started grain farming; but
during the past four years I have made
hogs my speciality, and you may see
by the foregoing statement for 1916
that have not done so badly.
LAND has increased at least twenty
per cent in value during the past few
years, now selling for from S25 to $50
per acre, with nominal taxes of about
S27 a quarter section yearly.
'The climate here is better than Da-
kota in that we do not have so much
dry wind; the winters are similar to
Dakota.
Gas for farming in general, the grow
ing and feeding of live stock is more
sure than the grain farming, if con-
tinued year after year, and if every
farmer follows this he will be ahead
of the grain growers in the long run.
Taking everything into consideration,
I feel satisfied with my success in
Alberta"

Diet. Exercise or Death

An eminent medical authority writes
that most of our city folks die of a thick
ening of the arteries or of kidney dis
ease. The kidneys become clogged and
do not filter the poisons from the blood,
and one trouble follows another, high
blood pressure damages the heart, arteries
and kidneys. Usually its danger signals
are backache, pain here or there, swollen
feet or ankles, rheumatic twinges or
spots appearing before the eyes.
"The very best remedy is this: Eat
meat but once day, or not at all. Plenty
of outdoor exercise, and drink pure
water frequently. Before meals take a
little Anuric, the great uric acid neu-
trailer that is easily obtained at the
drug store. When you have dizziness,
chills or sweating, worry, or dragging
pains in back, try this wonderful enemy
to uric acid, which DR.. Pierce of Buffalo,
N. Y, discovered and named Anuric.
Anuric, more potent than lithia, dissolves
uric acid as hot water does sugar"
