EXCELLENT RETURNS
FROM THE CANADIAN
WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number Of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces Of Canada are easily explained
by the case of Mr.. G. Lacy, late OF
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
MIR. Lacy. came to Canada from Wis
consin in the summer Of 1914 with
81 500 available cash in his possession.
He rented a half-section Of partly Inn
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 300 acres
with oats, 20 with barley. and 26O with
wheat. Also he had two cows and 20
head Of young live stock. He was for
tunate In buying feed at bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
ize his profits-and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.

"The kidneys play a most important
part in causing premature old age and
death-the more injurious the poisons
passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay''-so says a distinguished
physician, who further advises al people
who are past thirty to preserve the vitality
Of the kidneys and free the blood from
poisonous elements, such as uric acid
drink plenty Of water-sweat some daily
and take Anuric before meals.
This Anuric is put up in tablet
form, and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, "rusty" joints,
swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid
in the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves
the uric acid as hot water does sugar
Discovered by DR.. Pierce Of Buffalo, N. Y
Prevent premature old age by simply
slipping a cup of hot water every morning
before breakfast, taking little Anuric
before meals and live to be hundred.

WARREN GOES AWAY,
FRIENDS WONDER WHY

VIM. R. Warren, cashier Of theTrent
Trust company Is leaving on the
Wilhelmina this afternoon on q two
months vacation. His original plan
to visit his old home, Ireland, accord.
ing to his fellow employees has been
abandoned owing to the war. His Kai.
muki potato farm and sundry live.
stock will not suffer by his absence
as his kind hearted friends have pro.
missed to keep a watchful eye on them
particularly his Irish setter, Mike.
Owing to the recent epidemic Of
hymeneal plague among the Trent
Trust company employees, Mr.. War
ren's statement that he is merely 60
ing for vacation is taken by his as
sociates with a grain of salt. Rumor
has it that he will not be alone on his
return. In view of this suspicion en-
tertained by his associates, large
delegation of his admirers is expected
at the pier to crown him with leis ana
wish him bon voyage.

six bingles being made off his decep-

was rather poor, six redlegs reaching
first via the pass route. incidentally
the same number fell victims to his
slants by whiting.
Jackson occupied the mound for
seven frames, Mashaw relieving him,
the latter not permitting a cannoneer
to reach the initial station in the two
frames he twirled, three artillerymen
tanning. Maddis caught his usual
good game for the 1st-32nd Infantry,
none of the artillerymen taking lib

slammed out three clean singles. Judd,
Hollis, auckland and Rails furnished
fielding features for the infantrymen.
Leading sluggers for the Blues were

two frames, the infantrymen amassing

the exception of the eighth, when the
Blues wasted three safeties without a
score. Erick and Burnett were the
