pretty handy contriving things that
way. And Abe, about as soon as he
was weaned, was right out in the
woods, fishing in the creek, setting
traps for rabbits and muskrats, going
on coon-hunts with Tom and me and
the dogs, following up bees to find the
bee trees and dropping corn for his
pappy. 1t was a mighty interesting
life for a boy, but there was a good
many chances that he wouldn't live
to grow up
So, taken all in all, even admitting
the dignity conferred on Tom Lin
coins bride by the possession of
guardian, it was a lowly chronicle
this of the backwoods wedding and the
childrens log-cabin birth. But it has
been the story of the origins of hun
dreds of other Americans, who, like
their most famous exemplar, have ris-
en- by the sheer force of their energy
and brains to positions commanding
the respect of those born to the earth's
richest comforts and most lavish lux

And there is this to be said of it
That Lincoln's emancipation of the
poor blacks was not the only freedom
he gained for humanity through his ca
reer. He had the cabin of his birth
flung in his teeth many a time before
his home was the nations most covet-
ed place of residence. After that, no
son of poverty need take shame for
the humble roof that sheltered him in
infancy.

STABBED BY BOOTH

he found himself fiat on his back in
the wings of Ford's theater in Wash

dying away in the distance.
William Withers was leader of the
orchestra in FOrd's theater on the
night of Lincoln's assassination. He
was acquainted with the martyred
president, and with Booth, who killed
him, having spent an hour with the
latter before the fatal performance.
A few seconds after Booth had
jumped from the presidents box to
the stage, he found Withers blocking
his way. With the fury of a madman,
he drew a dagger and rushed at the

Natural Gas

In the past there has been enormous
waste of natural gas, and the total
waste is still discreditable to the ma
ton. In the Appalachian field the loss
of gas from oil wells, fiambeaux, from
leaking pine lines and many other
methods of waste was not less than
100000 cubic feet daily, and prob
ably much more. The heating value
of 1,000000,000 cubic feet of natural
gas is roughly equivalent to that
of 100000 bushels of coal. In one
state not less than 250,OOO,00O cubic
feet of gas has been wasted daily, and
possibly more than double that guam
tity, 80 per cent of which might have
been easily and cheaply preventable,
In the Caddo Na.) natural gas field
at least 400,O00,000 cubic feet of gas
was wasted daily, practically all the
waste being preventable. Two wells
in this field having an estimated vol
ume of 20,O0O,OO0 or 3O,O00,O00 cubic
feet a day blew out and burned for
one or two years.7-Philadelphia Eve.

WESTERN CANADA LEADS
As WHEAT PRODUCER
342, 100000 Bushels Wheat in
1915; In 1916 Many Farm
erS Paid for Their Land
Out OF Their Crop.

That Western Canada is indeed
Mistress of Wheat" to the extent that
its 1915 crop exceeded, acre for acre,
the production Of any country on this
continent is a striking fact proved by
the following figures:
In 1915 the Dominion of Canada pro-
duced 378,000,OO0 bushels of wheat,
which represented an average yield of
20 bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1,O11 ,505,000 bushels,
yield of IL bushels per acre. Tie only
serious competitors in wheat produc-
ton in South America were Argentine,
with 17S, 1921, 900 bushels, or less than
10 bushels per acre, and Chile, with
100000 bushels or 13 bushels per
acre. .
The three Western Canadian prairie
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
342,000,000 bushels out of the total Ca
madam 376,OOO,OOO bushels. 1t viii be
seen, therefore, that, outside of the
United States, Western Canada pro
duced considerably more than the COM
bined production of North and South
America. Canada is of course new
settled country. and the fact that the
crop of the United States was practi'
cally three times as much is no dis
couragement. The United States has
ut present more than twelve times the
population of Canada in approximately
the same area.
To illustrate further the greater pro
ductiveness OF, Western Canadian land
we submit the following figures, show
ing the 1915 yields per acre in the
three provinces of Western Canada
and in the states which in that year
produced the greatest quantity of
wheat. The figures are taken from the
y. s. department of agriculture's an
nual report and from the figures Of the
Dominion census bureau:

is that people do not drink as much
water in cold weather as in summer,
which helps to flush the kidneys. Again,
they eat more meat in cold weather, and
some people are so susceptible that they
soon develop rheumatism after eating
meat.
At all such times persons should drink
copiously of hot water, say, pint
morning and night, and take Anuric
three or four times day. This An
uric comes in tablet form and can be
had at almost any drug store. It dis
solves the uric acid in the system
and carries it outward. I would advise
everyone to take Anuric occasionally,
and continue for three or four weeks,
and in that way avoid rheumatism, gout
and many of the painful disorders due
to uric acid. ADV.

A close connection exists between
these two cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as soon as it gets cold; there is
often a copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
gout, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
of the double burden. Another reason
