Why Wait? Why Not Go to West
ern Canada Now?

The writer has frequently heard the
remark that after the war we will go
to Western Canada" 1t does not nc-
cur to those making the remark that If
they wish to secure lands in Western
Canada. whether by homestead or pur-
chase, the best time to go is now. After
the war the welcome will be just as
hearty as ever, but the chances are
that land values will increase and to-
day homesteads are plentiful and lana
Is reasonable in price. There is n"
question about what the land in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta will
do, what it will give under proper cul-
tiyation.
Farmers in Western Canada are pay
ing for their lard holdings with the
proceeds Cf last years crop. That this
is no idle statement may be CLEANED
from the three following items, which
are picked out at random:
''In the spring OF 1916 a half-section
of land was offered for sale at S17.Oo
per acre. There were 105 acres of
sumner-fallow, which because the
owner could not at the time find a
buyer, were seeded to wheat. A yield
of 40 bushels per acre, 4,2OO bushels
all told, grading No. 1, was obtained.
The price the day the grain was sold
(Which was very early in the season.
before grain prices advanced to round
about 5000 was SLIGO, which brought
the handsome total Of $6,120.O0. Three
hundred and twenty acres at $17.O0
equals $5,44000, so that a buyer, by
placing less than half of the whole
under crop. would have made profit
of S1,2SO.OO." - Robson Messenger,

Pios on Aerial Joy Ride.

The Kolnische Zeitung amuses its
readers by little story of two Ger
man aviators, flying from their base at
varna, who came down at the little
town of Mangalia in the DObruja. So
pleased were the natives to see the
two aviators that they gave them a
pig each.
The question arose how to transport
the ''costly gifts" TO the base. The
problem was solved by making room
in the body of the airplane, and the
quartette flew away for Varna. Ap-
parently the pigs felt quite at home,
for the Kolnische Zeitung says the
four enjoyed the trip.-London Chron-

The New Method
(BY L. W. BOWER, NJ. d.

Backache of any kind is often caused
by kidney disorder, which means that
the kidneys are not working properly
Poisonous matter and uric acid accumu-
la...a within the body in great abundance
over working the sick kidneys, hence
the congestion of blood causes backache
in the same manner as similar con-
gestion in the head causes headache.
You become nervous, respondent, sick,
feverish, irritable, have spots appearing
before the eyes, bags under the lids, and
lack ambition to do things.
The latest and most effective means
of overcoming this trouble, is to eat spar
ingly of meat, drink plenty water be-
tween meals and take single Anuric
tablet before each meal for while.
