'WESLEY-Au THAT is MODERN IN THE CAUSE OF "BETTER MEDICINE"
AMERICAN SUNRISE
SLUMBER-
Making Motherhood's Ordeal
Painless With Safety

. For several years Painless Childbirth was an international question.
The medical profession itself was divided upon the subJect.not that tne
principle involved was right, but as to the efficacy and safety OF meth
DDS used. Twilight Sleep and other forms or semi or complete anes-
thesia have not been developed to the point of safety for both mother
and child, required by medical associations as a whole.
Two years ago, after observing the adoption of a new method by
many of the largest hospitals in Chicago, New York and other great
cities, Wesley conducted a complete and thorough investigation Of its
merits. One of the hospitals chief representatives spent weeks in one
of Chicagos largest obstetric hospitals, seeing scores of successful cases
and no bad results. He administered the treatment himself in many
cases.
Convinced Of its complete success and merit, and THIS opinion coi-
Elaborated upon by the endorsement of Americas largest and most ethl-
cal hospitals, Wesley adopted the method. During the past two years
practically every Wesey-born baby has been a Sunrise Slumber baby.
In not one case has there ever been anything but splendid results Pain
le@ly and ioyously, happy mothers have brought beautiful babies into
the world; both thankful to Americas achievement in Sunrise Slumber'
Do not confuse this with Twilight Sleep or other anesthetics of
like nature. There is danger neither to mother or child and the mother
ia conscious of what is going on all of the time. There is the experience
of hundreds of thousands of cases in the largest hospitals in America
as proof of this fact. Sunrise Slumber' is now an established and &C
cepted institution beyond criticism or question.

WESTERN CANADA LEADS
AS WHEAT PRODUCER
342,000,000 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 10 the extent that
It's 1915 crop exceeded acre for acre,
the production of any country on this
continent is striking fact proved by
the following figures:
In 1915 the Dominion of Canada pro-
duced 376.000,000 bushels of wheat,
which represented an average yield of
20 bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1,011 sos, 900 bushels,
yield of IL bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors in wheat produc-
ton in South America were Argentine,
with S,221 900 bushels, or less than
II 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, 10000 bushels out of the total Ca
madam 376,000,000 bushels. 1t will 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
enlargement. The United States has
at present more than twelve times the
population of Canada in approximately
the same area. ~
To illustrate further the greater pro
ductivenesss of Western Canadian land
we submit the following figures, snow
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
U. S. department of agricultures an
nual report and from the figures OF the
Dominion census bureau:

In 1916 the crop was not as heavy,
but the yields in many districts were
very large So large, indeed was the
acreage under cultivation in 1915 that
the resulting crop proved too large to be
all threshed the same fall. 1t over
loaded railroads, and made marketing
slow. A less amount of fall blowing
was done than would have been done
In less heavy year, because the aver
age farmer was too busy with his
threshing All these conditions nee
essarily reacted upon the acreage
seeded in the spring of 1916. Add to
this that labor last year, owing to the
great number of Canadians who have
enlisted, was scarce and high-priced,
and one factor i'm the decreased yield
smaller acreage under crop was evil
dent.
Another factor is that this year
Western Canada has experienced, in
common with the entire North Ameri-
can continent, conditions that have
been less favorable to the production
of big crops. The conditions have re-
suited in smaller yield per acre and
reduced grade of grain in certain local
tiles.
The average yield of wheat in the
three western provinces is estimated
by the government at about 16 bushels
per acre, oats 43 bushels, and barley
81 bushels.
The financial value of their crops to
Western Canadian farmers has been
greater this year than ever before.
Owing to the high prices of grain that
are prevailing, returns have been re-
ceived that are extremely profitable.
With wheat standing at the present
time at over $1.90 per bushel at the
Great Lakes, wheat crop at present
figures would pay the farmer, even
surprising he had only the average of
I6 bushels per acre, over $1,000 per
acre. A large number are receiving
$4,000 per acre-some have received
$500, and few even more than that,
This price, of course, is not all profit !;
1t represents the gross return, and the
cost of operation must be deducted.
But it does not, even at the highest fig
ures cost more than 65 cents to raise
bushel Of wheat in Western Canada,
so that the profit can be figured accord
ingly. 1t must be emphasized that the
acre which produces a $4,000 crop costs
in the first case, probably less than
that. In the United States the same
class of land would cost in many dis
tricts from $500 to 5000 per acre, and
even then return of $4,000 would be
considered extremely satisfactory. In
Western Canada the best class Of ag-
ricultural land, capable of producing
crops that in size compare with any
country in the world except, perhaps,
come European countries, can be o.
