harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels.

Every mother realizes, after giving
her children California Syrup OF
Figs" that this is their ideal laxative
because they love its pleasant taste
and 1t thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out gripping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give
teaspoonful of this harmless fruit
laxative" and in few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow
els. and you have a well, playful child
again. When its little system is full
of cold. throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic-remem-
ber, a good inside cleaning" should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep California
Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for 90
cent bottle of California Syrup Of
Figs" which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups

TIME TO PAY FOREIGN DEBTS
Coins of Most of European Countries
Are Worth Much Less Now
Than Before the War.

In peace days Russian ruble Is
worth a trlfle more than 81 cents Of
American money. Now 1t is worth less
than % cents.
Before the war an italian Ira was
worth shade under 20 cents of Amer
lean money, and now 1t is worth less
than IA cents.
If you owe debt in Russia or Italy,
now is the time tOpay It, Three years
ago n thousand dollars would only pay
off a debt of 1,945 rubles In Petrograd,
but today 1t will wipe off aldebt Of
3,542 rubles.
At the same time thousand dollars
In 1912 would cancel debt Of only
5,254 lire in Rome, whereas today It
will liQuidate 1885 lire.
Our daddies suffered similar pen
atty for indulging in war some fifty
years ago, when our American dollar
was worth only so cents In Europe

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 a 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 short time
there will be demand for live stock,
such as even will tax the vast re-
sources Of Western Canada. They
will 60 into stock raising because Of
the adaptabillty 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 1t. They
will have automobiles, In fact In many
districts there is not 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 50 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, settler, pur-
chased in 1915 100 acres Of raw prai-
rie land. He broke and seeded So
acres. His crop turned out well, and
he sold the greater portion Of 1t for
$2970. His land cost him $1650 per
acre, or $3.50. So that the crop from
the So acres paid for the land and left
a 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 bt
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

TIME city of Honolulu is charm

them low bungalows, others
more pretentiOus, and in every

luxuriant tropical trees and shrubs of
every sort, and with smooth green
lawns, and gorgeous flower beds-all
this close to a sparkling sea, and with
picturesque and rugged mountains ris-

rare attractiveness, says William Dud-

for Hilo, in the Island of Hawaii, to
see Kilauea, the great volcano crater.
1t is always active, but just now there
is particularly brilliant eruption.
we landed at Hll0, q thriving town
of some 5000 inhabitants, and started
in an automobile up through the sugar
fields and then through forests and
endless groves of fern trees, for some
thirty miles to the Volcano House at
the edge of the crater. AS we rode
on some one in our company asked !:
"Where is the mOuntain?" for there
was no evidence of any in the vicinity.
1t seemed rather to be one vast plain.
But without noticing it we had risen
gradually some 1000 feet-now we be-
gan to see steam rising from the
smell of sulphur, and then, suddenly
emerging from the woods, we found
ourselves at the Volcano House on the

The wall of this inside crater is gen.
orally 600 feet deep. 1t was that deep
last May. But the lava has been grad
ually rising since that time till the
fiery lake is now less than 100 feet be-
low the rim, and it is rising still,
though higher now than it has been for
many years. In the middle of this lake
is black, rough, irregularshaped pro-
montory which looks like an island.
The top of it is now about as high as
the rim of the crater. But the prOpri-

topples over like an iceberg, which 1t
may do soon if the lava keeps on ris-

the circular walls of the crater the

watching it) as it circles within this
tremendous cauldron. Now there are
no actual flames such as you see when
a house burns down or a forest is con-
sumed. 1t is not like that at all. But
If you have stood near the door of a
blast furnace and seen the molten met

more white and red metal follow, you
