Healthy Skin
DEPENDS ON KIDNEYS.

The skin and the intestines, which
work together with the kidneys to
throw out the poisons of the body, do
. part Of the work, but a clean body
and healthy one depends on the kid

toxic poisons you suffer from stiffness
your joints seem rusty" you may have
rheumatic pains, pain in the back, stiff
neck, headaches, sometimes swollen feet,

FOOD REGULATION IS
IMPENDING IN BRITAIN
Drastic Measures to Be Inauaurated
Soon to Prevent Exploitation
by Traders.

London, March 24.-The food ques.
ton IL pressing with increasing strin-
gency, and authoritative reports say
a few days will see new, drastic steps
by the food controller, Lord Devon
port, to prevent exploitation by trad
ers.
The controller told the House of
Lords that although voluntary ration
ing had brought excellent results, COM
pulsory rationing might be necessary,
which would be a national calamity.
He desired to avoid this, owing to the
tremendous machinery needed. This
machinery, however, was ready, he de-
clared, If required, and great reduc-
ton in bread and sugar was still i'm
perative. He intended, he said, to in
troduce a strong measure to prevent
food boarding.
According to an unofficial report, tho
government plans two meatless and
two potatoless days weekly in all res
taurants and hotels and to forbid more
than five ounces of uncooked meat to
be served for each person.

The president in his address to con-
gress will detail how Germany practi-
cally has been making war on the
United States by the ruthless destruc-
ton of American lives and ships ON
the high seas in contravention Of all
the laws of nations and humanity.
To Declare State Of War Exists.
Congress then is expected to pass
q resolution declaring that state Of
war has existed between the United
States and Germany for some time.
Such a resolution in itself will not be
. declaration of war in a technical
sense, although 1t practically will
amount to the same thing.
As a consequence the United States
will take further steps to protect its
interests on the high seas and else
where against the warlike acts of Ger
mo onA hafhnn OF ~
war will come to exist In its full sense
will depend on the future acts of the
Imperial German government.

GREAT DEMAND
FOR CANADIAN LAND
Americans Are Buyers and Be-
coming SettIers-Anxious to
Get Cheap and PRODUCE
tive Land.

Reports are to hand that there will
be large influx Of settlers from the
United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For time
there has been falling off, on account
Of the fear Of CONSUMPTION, which of
course was not possible, and which the
Canadian Government gave every as
surance would not be put into opera
ton. In any case it would not affect
the American settler, and more than
that the man who was working on the
farm, helping to produce the grain
that goes to feed those who are at war,
would not be affected.
The excellent yields of the Western
Canada crops. and the high prices Sc
cured is having its influence on those
looking for homes. The authenticated
reports that have been sent out from
time to time that this farmer and that
farmer had paid for their entire farm
holdings out Of one crop has reached
the ears of the man looking for farm.
When he hears that G. H. Beatty of
Nanton. Alberta, had 679 bushels of
wheat from IL acres or an average Of
561h bushels to the acre, he becomes
interested. When he learns that Sid
ney e. Phillips Of Beddeford, Alberta,
threshed ten hundred and fifty-three
bushels Of wheat, the average being
52h bushels per acre, his interest is
further aroused. Thos. Long of Leth-
bridge had 120 bushels of oats to the
acre from a field of 25 acres, w.
Quinn of Milk River had 6,O94 bushels
Of wheat from 100 acres, an average
Of 60 bushels per acre, and Robert
Tackaberry of Nobleford makes affida-
Wit that he had an average Of seventy
six bushels of wheat per acre from
field Of 1868 acres. Thos. Boulton Of the
same place makes affidavit that from
fifty acres he had yield Of fifty-three
bushels Of wheat per acre. Newell ].
Mobiles affidavit Of getting 81 bushels
per acre from 1000 acres stands out
most strongly as evidence Of what the
wheat grower can do. This affidavit is
strengthened by paragraph stating
that he had 122 bushels and 30 lbs. per
acre from 394.69 acres. Mrs. Nancy
Coe makes affidavit that on her farm
at Nobleford she threshed six thou
sand one hundred and ten bushels Of
wheat from one hundred and fifteen
acres, or fifty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre, and from fax field
(stubble field) she got 20 bushels ana
80 pounds per acre.
1t cannot be said that these were
freak yields because 50 many had such
great success. When these reports are
read, the man looking for farm be-
comes convinced.
These are only few Of the reasons
that will cause large influx Of Amer
lean farmers into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring.
The farmers now resident in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are
purchasing additional lands. Prices
are low and Free homestead land can
be had in many districts and the home
