Died of Premature
Old Age!
mY v. M. PIERCE. M. D.,

How many times we hear Of compare
lively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be 20 or
80 years of age. This fatal work is usu-
ally attributed to the kidneys, as, when
the kidneys degenerate, it causes auto
intOxication. The more injurious the
poisons passing thru the kidneys, the
quicker will those noble organs be de-
generated, and the sooner they decay.
To prevent premature old age and
promote long life, tighten the work of
the kidneys by dri liking plenty of pure
water all day long, and occasionally tax
ing Anuric double strength) before

ditions as rheumatism, dropsical swell

PAYS FOR 1850
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 go into stock raising because of
the adaptability 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 it. 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
of the counties in the best states in
the Union. But we started out to tell
you of the farmer who paid for $50
acres of land from the crop of wheat
off Of So 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. It was in this district
that John Larcome, settler, pur-
chased in 1917 100 acres of raw Orai-
RE land. He broke and seeded So
acres. His crop turned out well, and
he sold the greater portion of it for
$2,97O. His land cost him $16.50 per
acre, or $3.50. So that the crop from
the 53 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 be
considerably increased. The home
steads in the Park sections which are
to be had actually free are having
the attention of a good class of set
tiers, who want to go into mixed farm
