INCREASE IN WESTERN
CANADA LAND VALUES
But Forty and Fifty Bushels Of
Wheat to the Acre.

Dung the past year there has been
greater demand for farm lands In
Western Canada than for a number OF
years past. The demand is for good
farm lands improved or unimproved.
And at an increase of from ten TO fif-
teen dollars an acre more than the
same lands could be had for couple
of years ago.
The rise in the price of every kind
of produce grown on these Western
lands, in some cases TO double and In
Others 10 treble the price prevailing be-
fore 1914, have attracted and are at
tracing in ever-increasing proportions
the men who are anxious to invest
their money, and apply their energies
in the production of wheat for when
the allied nations are calling with
voices which grow louder and more
anxious as the months roll on, and the
end of the war still seems distant.
Beef, and more especially bacon, are
required in ever greater quantities,
and the price of all these things has
soard, until It is not a question OF
what shall we produce, but how much
can we produce Even should this
world calamity be brought to a close
In six months from now, Ii will be
years before normal pre-war prices
prevail, and meantime self-interest II
not patriotism is turning the minds OF
thousands back TO the land. The III
evitable consequence has been the rise
In values of land, especially wheat
land.
The Calgary Herald, commenting on
these conditions says:
"From inquiries made from leading
dealers in farming and ranching prop
critics, and from the information gath
cred IN other ways, 1t is known that
the value of all land-wheat land,
mixed farming properties, and even
good grazing land--has risen in the
last two years 40 per cent. Wheat
lands in some districts have practical
~ doubled in price. One dealer In
farm lands recently sold three sections
for $40 an acre. one extra good quar-
ter went as high as 500, and another
brought 500. These are of course
large prices. but that they will be
equaled or even surpassed In the near
future is beyond question. There is a
feature about this rush to the land
from which the most solid hope can
be drawn for the success of the move
ment. The proper tillage of land, TO
produce large crops in climate like
ours is now understood and practiced
as 1t never was in the early days OF

return to the practical skilled agricul-
turist must necessarily be very large.

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been a standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-
der are the most important organs of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
sch are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
All these indicate some weakness of the
kidneys OF other organs or that the enemy
microbes which are always present in your
system have attacked your weak spots.
