ENDS DYSPEPSIA,
INDIGESTION, GAS
"Pape's Diapepsin' cures sick,
sour stomachs in five minutes
Time II!

Really does" put bad stomachs in
order-"really does" overcome indiges-
tion, dyspepsia, gas, heartburn and
sourness in five minutes-that-ju
that-makes Pape's Diapepsin the lar
gest selling stomach regulator in the
world. If what you eat ferments into
stubborn Jumps, you belch gas and
eructate sour, undigested food and
acid; head is dizzy and aches; breath
foul; tongue coated your insides filled
with bile and indigestible waste, re-
member the moment "Pape's Diapep,
sin" comes in contact with the stomach
all such distress vanishes. It's truly
stonishing-almost marvellous, and
the Joy is it's harmlessness.
A large fifty-cent case of Pape's Dia-
pepsin will give you hundred dollars
worth of satisfaction.
It's worth it's weight in gold to men
and women who can't get their stom-
achs regulated. 1t belongs in your
home-should always be kept handy
in case of sick, sour, upset stomach
during the day or at night. It's the
quickest, surest and most harmless
stomach doctor in the world.-Adv.

PAYS FOR 16O
ACRES OF LAND
From the Crop of Wheat on So
Acres in Western Canada.

This story Of paying for your land
out of one years crop is fully authen-
ticated by great many farmers in
Western Canada.
And now, all that the farmer makes
is velvet and you find him going more
extensively into stock raising, for all
authorities agree that in a short time
there will be demand for live stock,
such as even will tax the vast re-
sources of Western Canada. They
will go into stock raising because Of
the adaptability of the country to pro-
vide food and fodder without feeding
grain if necessary. They will go into
stock and improve their places. They
will install steam and heating plants
in fact, many are now doing it. They
will have automobiles, in fact in many
districts there is not a farmer but has
one. They will beautify their homes
and erect fine barns until the whole
country will be as attractive as many
of the counties in the best states in
the Union. But we started out to tell
you Of the farmer who paid for 100
acres of land from the crop of wheat
off of So acres. The Holden district
on the line Of the Grand Trunk Pacific
does not appear to the ordinary OBJ
server to be any better than many
other districts along that line, and
probably isn't. 1t was in this district
that John Larcome, a settler, pur-
chased in 1915 100 acres Of raw prai-
rie land. He broke and seeded So
acres. His crop turned out we'll, and
he sold the greater portion of it for
$2,97O. His land cost him $16.5O per
acre, or $3.50. So that the crop from
the So acres paid for the land and left
balance Of over $500, which with
part Of the crop left over would just
pay for the cost Of operation. This
is not really an unusual case, hundreds
Of other farmers in Alberta and Sas-
katchewan having been able to do the
same.
Sales Of land are being reported
from many districts in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta at good prices.
And values are yet low, but with the
flow Of any value that will take place
after the war, no doubt they will be
considerably increased. The home
steads in the Park sections which are
to be had actually free are having
the attention Of good class of set
tiers, who want to go into mixed farm
ing.-Advertisement.
