SAFE, GENTLE REMEDY
CLEANSES YOUR KIDNEYS

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been 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-
ach 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 or other organs or that the enemy
microbes which are always present in your
system have attacked your weak spots.

what you need. !.

SCOUT is NOW AN AIRMAN.

A scout with nerve can accomplish
anything he goes out for. This Is
proven by Clifton Penn Oleson, the
youngest birdman in the service and
one of the nerviest.
Oleson is scarce eighteen years old,
but he has gone through the rigorous
training In aeronautics at the Curtiss
school at Miami, Fla, and has been
granted commission by the war de-
partment at Fort Sam Houston, Tex,
training other boys.
When he was twelve years old, he
saw the great Beachey make his SEN
sational flight at Dubuque. AS
Beachey's plane at length swooped
down to earth, Scout Oleson lodged
policemen, jumped the ropes and
reached Beachey. -'-""'', ,1---s~--

he cried. A group of policemen made
rush for the boy. 'Leave him alone"
the airman said; shat kid has nerve,

SCOUTS IN RUBBISH DRIVE.

A sanitary survey was conducted by

request of the mayor. 4
Deputized for this special work. PIP
scouts took one city block each, be-
ing excused from school for this serv-

They assembled at the city hall,
where they received instructions. Then
they scattered to their assigned blocks,
made the inspection and returned with
their reports to their troop headquar-
tiers. -'G~.- e..s'-.-,.as"-~'
The reports covered the condition OF
alleys, back yards and garbage. The
boys also took census Of gardens
being planted. The survey was fol-

House of Lords Dies Hard.

1t Is now about sixty years since
Thomas Darlington Macaulay wrote
again and again that the house Of
lords seemed to be on its last legs. He
used longer and more dignified
phrase, but that Is its substance when
translated into the vernacular. Ap
parently his conviction then was as
strong as that of any of those who
now hope for the abolition of the
lords. To be sure, the circumstances
have changed greatly, but the lords die
so hard that this little historical rem
iniscence Is not without its value now
that the same cry is heard again and
when some think the consummation
near at hand.

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

During the past year there has been
a 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 m 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 to 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 which
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 1t is not question OF
what shall we produce, but how much
can we produce. Even should this
world calamity be brought to close
In six months from now, It will be
years before normal pre-war prices
prevail, and meantime self-interest If
not patriotism Is turning the minds OF
thousands back to the land. The In
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
mixed farming properties, and even
good grazing land--has risen in the
last two Yeas 40 per cent. Wheat
lands in some districts have practical
ly 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 he
equaled or even surpassed in the near
future is beyond question. There Is
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

Telephones In Canada.

A most remarkable increase is evil
denced in the use Of the telephone in
Canada during the past five years, &C
cording to a report recently laid upon
the table of the house of commons.
The number Of telephones in use
throughout the Dominion in 1912 was
370,8S4, while In 1917 the number had
grown to 604 ,136. The number Of tele-
phone companies operating in 1912 was
$50, and five years later there were
1859 companies In operation. A total
of SS9,572 miles Of wire was in use
during the year 1912. In 1917 the wire
mileage was 1,709,202. The capitaliza-
ton of telephone companies also shows
a great increase in the five-year period.
In 1912 1t was $42,2 7S, 1851, while in
June, 1917, it was 1921 TOP. The
revenue during the same period had
grown approximately $8.000,000. The
number of persons for each telephone
In the Dominion In 1912, was 1913 and
in 1917, 1874.

Two Brave Marines.

On the first day of February, 1918,
there was an explosion in a seaplane
hangar on an aviation field near Wash
ington. The explosion started a fire
which set ablaze the clothing of a
chief petty officer of the navy. The
death Of the petty officer and the de-
struction Of the costly hangar were i'm
minent. Privates William r. Lawton
and Raymond j. Burnap, United States
marines from the Washington navy
yard, were on duty nearby. Aiming
themselves with fire extinguishers,
they dashed to the rescue. The life of
the petty officer was saved and the de-
struction of the hangar prevented. Sec
rotary Daniels wrote a personal letter
to each of the marines, commencing
him for his GOODNESS and presence Of
mind In the face of sudden danger.

hurricane which blew SO hard 1t forced
the sea up into the streets Of the city
and thousands of lives were lost. AS

the city built a great sea wall. This
year it has begun nearly two miles
more of sea wall which will take near
ly two years to complete and which
will cost 100000. After the great

DEVICE TO KEEP
FOOD IN SUMMER
Evaporation of Water From Cloth
Cover Is Cooling Principle of
Refrigerator.
COOLER FOR DRINKING WATER
Temperature Of so Degrees F. Posi-
BILE Under Ideal conditions-Plaee
for Meats, Fruits, Vegetables,
Milk and Butter.

Where ice is not obtainable an ice
less refrigerator, homemade, will be a
useful food keeper and food saver this
summer Maintaining a low tempera-
ture through the evaporation of water
from its canvas cover, the iceless re-
frigerator will keep meats, fruits and
vegetables cool and will extend the pc
riod for keeping milk and butter. 1t
can also serve as a cooler for drinking
water.
Separate Refrigerators.
In homes where large quantities of
milk and butter are to be kept it would
be we'll to have one refrigerator for
milk and butter and another for other
foods, as milk and butter readily alb
sorb odors from other foods. 1t costs
very little to build the refrigerator and
nothing to operate it. The operation is
as simple as the construction. The
upper pan should be kept filled with
water. The water is drawn by capil-
larry attraction through the wicks and
saturates the cover. AS evaporation
takes place heat is taken from the
inside of the refrigerator, thereby low
ering the temperature of the inside
and the contents. Capillary action
starts more readily if the is first
dampened by dipping it in water or
throwing water upon it. The greater
the rate of evaporation the lower the
temperature which can be secured !;
therefore the refrigerator works best
when rapid evaporation takes place.
Evaporation Is Rapid.
When the refrigerator is placed in a
shady place in a strong breeze and the
air is warm and dry, evaporation
takes place continuously and rapidly
and the temperature inside the refrig-
orator is reduced. Under ideal condi-
tions the temperature has been
known to be reduced to so degrees
Fahrenheit. When 1t is damp, and
the air is full of moisture, the refrig-
orator will not work as well, since
there is not enough evaporation. More
water will find its way to the lower
pan, but 1t will be drawn up into the
covering by capillary attraction when
the air again becomes drier.
The refrigerator should be regularly
cleaned and summed. If the framework,
shelves and pans are white enameled
they can more easily be kept in a sani-
tary condition. It is well to have two
covers, so that a fresh one can be used
each week and the soiled one washed
and summed.
