His Double Loss.

A story of the battle of Jutland is
told by q chaplain of the grand fleet.
In ship which was in the thick of &C.
ton and was we'll hammered by the
enemy, many poor fellows lost the
number of their mess and many more
were sadly wounded. Among these
latter was q sailor, one of whose legs
was so much shattered and lacerated
by q splinter of shell that there was
nothing else to do but amputate it
above the knee.
The wounded man was practically
unconscious from loss of blood, so the
surgeons were not able to tell him of
their intentions of operating. Some
time later he recovered consciousness
and found himself comfortably tucked
up, with the stump dressed and BAN
daged. When he learned what had
happened he broke into an agonized
cry-no, not for the Gripping he had
undergone; his cry was:
where's my leg? For 'eyin's sake,
find my |, somebody It's got all my
money in the stocking"

Look, Mother! If tongue is
coated, give "CaIifornia

Children love this ''fruit laxative"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result Is
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes,
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath Is bad,
system full of cold, has sore throat,

Mother! See if tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful Of california
Syrup of Figs" and in few hours all
the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out Of the sys-
TEN, and you have a well child again.
Millions of mothers give "California
Syrup Of Figs" because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it new
err fails to act on the stomach, liver
and bowels.
Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle
Of "Ca]ifornia Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Adv.

GREAT DEMAND
FOR CANADIAN Land
Americans Are Buyers and Be-
coming SettIers-Anxious to
Get Cheap and Produc-
tive Land.

| Reports are to hand that there will
| be large influx of settlers from the
| United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For time
there has been q falling off, on account
of the fear Of CONSUMPTION, which OF
course was not possible, and which the
Canadian Government gave every as
surance would not be put into opera
ton. In any case it would not affect
the American settler and more than
that the man who was working on the
farm, helping to produce the grain
that goes to feed those who are at war,
would not be affected.
The excellent yields of the Western
Canada crops, and the high prices Sc
cured is having It's influence on those
| looking for homes. The authenticated
reports that have been sent out from
time to time that this farmer and that
| farmer had paid for their entire farm
| holdings out of one crop has reached
the ears of the man looking for farm.
When he hears that G. 81. Beatty Of
| Nanton, Alberta, had 679 bushels of
wheat from II acres or an average of
561a bushels to the acre, he becomes
| interested. When he learns that Sid
ney E. Phillips of Beddeford, Alberta,
threshed ten hundred and f1fty-three
bushels Of wheat, the average being
521A bushels per acre, his interest is
further aroused. Thos. Long of Leth-
bridge had 120 bushels of oats to the
acre from a field Of 25 acres, w.
Quinn of Milk River had 1904 bushels
| Of wheat from 100 acres, an average
Of go bushels per acre, and Robert
Tackaberry of Nobleford makes aff1da-
Wit that he had an average of seventy
six bushels of wheat per acre from a
field Of 1858 acres. Thos. Boulton of the
same place makes affidavit that from
fifty acres he had yield of ifty-three
bushels Of wheat per acre. Newell j.
Mobiles affidavit Of getting 81 bushels
per acre from 1000 acres stands out
most strongly as evidence of what the
wheat grower can do. This affidavit is
strengthened by q paragraph stating
that he had 122 bushels and so lbs. per
acre from 394.69 acres. Mrs. Nancy
Coe makes affidavit that on her farm
at Nobleford she threshed six thou
sand one hundred and ten bushels of
wheat from one hundred and fifteen
acres, or ffty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre. and from flax field
(stubble field) she got 20 bushels and
SS pounds per acre.
It cannot be said that these were
freak yields because so many had such
great success. When these reports are
read, the man looking for farm be-
comes convinced.
These are only few of the reasons
that will cause a large influx Of Amer
lean farmers into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring.
The farmers now resident in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are
purchasing additional lands. Prices
are low and Free homestead land can
be had in many districts and the home
steader Is welcome.-Advertise

SEE FAILURE IN THE HOME
Declared a Crime Cause by
Prison Directors.

Growing laxity in mental and moral
training and discipline in the home is
responsible in a large measure for the
unprecedented growth of population at
California's prison and reformatories
during the last two years, the Sacra-
mento Bee observes. This is charged
by the state board Of prison directors
in the biennial report filed with Cover
nor Johnson.
There appears to be an increasing
disposition among parents to place
pleasure above duty and to place much

clared. eff the moral training of chill
dren is neglected; if they are not
taught self control; if no rules of home
conduct are promulgated or being pro-

DR.. kilmer's Swamp Root is a physi-

less numbers who have suffered.
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root

Where Franklin Was Born,

Benjamin Franklin was born ON
Milk street, Boston. When Benjamin
was still young his father removed
to a small gambrel-roofed house in
Hanover street, near where it is
crossed by Union street. Before the
house swung the "Sign of the Blue
Ball" about as big as coconut, which
signified that Mr.. Josiah Franklin, Ben
iamin Franklin's father, carried on
the business of making soap and can
dies.
