liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the In
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry cut all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They

from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Adv.

MADE PROPOSAL BY PROXY
HIS Task Was Similar to John Alden's,
but Fortunately 1t Had Diff
ferent Result.

One day while Rev. J. Hines, a we'll
known retired Canadian missionary,
was residing near Sandy lake an In
dian came to him and after much pre-
1iminary conversation said: "Well
it is about six months since my wife
died, and just before she left me she
said in the presence of witnesses that
if I remained single until the follow
ing spring l was to get married again.
and, as the leaves are already big on
the trees, I have come to see you and
hear what you have to say about it.
When I told him that there was no
law to prohibit his taking another wife
so soon, he went on, II want you to
select q wife for me-
why" said, II should not care to
undertake such a responsibility, for. If
manned a woman and you married her
and afterward she did not please you,
you would be most likely to blame me
for your unhappiness."
mo, I should not" he said.
Then said, "In the first place do
not know whether you want to marry
an old or a young woman, and must
have something to guide me in making
a selection"
"Well," he said, II do not want to
be troubled with an old woman, and
do not suppose young woman would
care to be troubled with me; want a
woman about my own age"
I was much pleased with his words,
for they seemed to me to be sensible
and thoughtful; so I mentioned wild
ow about his own age, whom had no
ticed taking great interest in his be-
reaved children.
"Ah!" he said. 81 knew you were
guided by the great spirit in all you
undertake. That is the very woman L
have been thinking about, and how
could you have known this unless the
great spirit had guided your judg-
ment?"
"Well," 1 replied, 81 am glad that
you look at it in that way; now you
had better go and propose to her."
"No," said he, ST cannot do that. II
I knew she would say yes should
go; but she might say no. and In
dams never like to have their petitions
rejected when they go on business OF
that nature"
Then asked him what he intended
to do. "Why, SIR" he said, Il want
you to propose for mel"
Well, I was in a fix; but having
yielded so far to his request, felt
bound in some way to go on to the
end. So, having obtained my wife's
permission, called on the widow at
my earliest convenience and explained
matters to her, taking great pains to
make her understand was proposing
for the other fellow and not for my
self. My mission was successful, end
in due course they were lawfully mar
ried, and the union proved happy

AnouIarity Must Be Rubbed Off.

The pebble in the brook grows round
and smooth because it is constantly
rubbing against the rock and sands
and others of its kind. So 1t is with
life. Most of us have that which must
be rubbed off. We are angular in
ideas as well as conduct. Taking the
angles off is humiliating process, and
most people rebel before it rightly be-
gins. To bring out the luster Of the
diamond it has to be cut. That, too, is
a tedious process. And so must it be
with you if you are to be SYM
metrical. The best way is to go right
after it. The sooner the corners are
rubbed off the sooner the polish comes.

Never Abandon Hope.

How often do we seem, in our pri-
vate fortunes, to be brought to loose
end? Some source Of supply has been
stopped; some door of career has been
suddenly slammed in our face. The
well-defined track we have followed
has all at once disappeared; we ere
faced with the wilderness, wherein We
must strike q road of our own.
Assuredly no man, whether he be
great or small. should be afraid Of his
loose ends. They are life's great pos
sibles; they call upon what is in us.
The gulf that yawns in front reveals

may be the beginning of your better
fortunes. The world is full OF hopes

An OptjmjSt,

It was 5 a. m. He was starting
the furnace fire at this unseemly
hour.
Without warning a large lump of
coal leaped from its berth on top Of
the coal pile and landed squarely on
the captain of his toe brigade on the
left foot. In other words, the coal
landed squarely on his big toe. He
warmed up much more quickly than
the fire as he hoped about on one
foot in imitation Of a Russian toe
dancer.
He swore, cursed his luck, increased
the white space on his face, and then
-then-then he began to smile. And
his toe thumped like a stranded auto
engine!
"Why, I really am lucky" he
thought. I'm lucky to have q coal
pile big enough for a lump of coal to
get a start on. Come on, do it again"
he dared and smilingly cast his crouch
in the furnace, gave his aching toe
q rub or two and cheerily went to
work.

What A JEWELRY FIRM did
They Invested Some of Their
Spare Money in Canadian
Lands.

S. Joseph & Sons, of Des Mo1nes,
Iowa, are looked upon as being shrewd,
careful business men. Having some
spare money on hand, and looking for
a suitable investment, they decided to
purchase Canadian lands, and farm it.
With the assistance ofsthe Canadian
Government Agent, at Des Moines,
Iowa, they made selection near Cham
plon, Alberta. They put 240 acres of
land in wheat, and in writing to MIR.
Hewitt. the Canadian Government
Agent at Des Moines, one of the mem
bers Of the firm says:
IT have much pleasure in advising
you that on our farm five miles east
of Champion, in the Province Of Al
berta, Canada, this year (1916 we har-
vested and threshed 10000 bushels of
wheat from 240 acres, this being an
average Of A bushels and 10 pounds
to the acre. A considerable portion
Of the wheat was No. 1 Northern,
worth at Champion approximately
$1.S5 per bushel, making total return
of $19610, or an average Of $S1.70 per
acre gross yields. Needless to say, we
are extremely well pleased with our
lands"
1t might not be uninteresting to read
the report Of c. A. Wright Of Milo,
Iowa, who bought 100 acres at Cham
pion, Alberta, for $1,000 in December,
1915. He stubbled in the whole lot Of
1T, and threshed 4,4S7 bushels Grade
No. Northern.
Mr.. Wright, being a thorough bust
ness man, gives the cost Of work, and
the amount realized. These figures
show that after paying for his land
and cost of operation he had $2,472.67
left.
