Riches in Tennessee Caves.

The development Of two historic
caves, known as Arch cave and Bone
cave in Van Buren, county, Tennessee,
is now under way. The caves are esti-
mated to contain from 10000 to 75,
600 tons Of bat guano, which is rich
In potash and ammonia, besides other
elements of plant food. The under
ground area Is about six miles. Mil
lions Of bats inhabited these caves for
centuries prior to the Civil war, when
they were driven out by the manufnc-
turers Of powder Ii is told that when
Gen. John II. Morgun,s detachment
which raided Nashville during the
Civil war became separated and was
hard pressed by superior federal forces
they concealed themselves in the Arch
cave for several days.

Government Help in Australia.

Suitable farming land is provided
by the Australian government for
groups of men and their families that
will ultimately form village settle
ments, but they are not to be cooper
ative-each settler will stand or fall
on his own merits. Government over
seers will guide and instruct the set
tiers for two years, and the house
erected for his use can be used as a
public hall or school. Plain rations,
implements, small stock of cows,
poultry, etc, roofing material water
tanks, etc, will be supplied for the
first year. This will be charged as a
loan and must be eventually refunded
TO the state.

Diet. Exercise or Death

An eminent medical authority writes
that most of our city folks die Of thick
ening Of the arteries or of kidney dis
case. 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 OF
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 DIR. Pierce Of Buffalo,
". T., discovered and named Anuric.
Anuric, more potent than hthia, dissolves
uEso acid as hot water does sugar"

Birds Have Regular Routes.

Migratory birds are said to cross the
North sea by wel-dehned tracks. The
autumn immigrants fly from east to
west and northwest, their retarn in
spring being conducted over the same
lines in contrary direction. The
FIRST flights occur regularly about the
middle of October and the second a
month later.

To Remove the Mote.

When travelling one should always
bear in mind that cinders are apt to
find their way into the eyes. An eye
cup, a lotion for bathing and few
faxseed should be included in your
package. A boracic acid solution will
be found soothing for eyes that are in
famed from dust, wind or foreign mat
ter.

MADE $1,000
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 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. q. Merriam, formerly of Devils
Lake, N. d. He didn't leave there be-
cause the land was poor, or farming
not a success, for all who know that
country are aware that 1t 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 1t, too, is:
az came to Alberta In the Spring OF
1909 from Devils Lake, North Dakota,
locating on my farm near Dalroy.
II arrived with six head of horses
and two head of cattle and about
$1,000. Since then, l 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 oil modern i'm
provements, a feed grinder, elevator,
chopper, tanning mill, etc. 1 have in
creased my original capital at least
four times more since coming here.
"From the feeding of hogs during
the last year, had a gross return of
$1,000.
II first started grain farming, but
during the past four years 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 $25 to $35
per acre, with nominal taxes of about
s27 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,
feel satisfied with my success in
Alberta"
