THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE
ARE GIVING TOASTED TO-.
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS

To anyone who doesn't know of the
wonderful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobaccos
in the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking, we should say ciga-
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok-
ers of this country will recognize it more
readily by its trade name, LUCKY
STRIKE "-the toasted cigarette.
The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga-
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news.
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys
in France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but it seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.
The Red Cross nurse is always glad to
have cigarette for the wounded soldier
as, in most instances, that is the first
thing asked for.-Adv.

ON GUARD

At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. 1t is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the lstless manner.
Drink hot water half hour before
meals, and for vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has had such a
fine reputation for fifty years. 1t con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. 1t is
made from Golden Seal root, Blood
root, Oregon grape root, Queens root,
Black Cherry bark, extracted with gly-
cerine and made into tablets and liquid.
Tablets sixty cents, at most drug stores.
In order to insure pure blood and to
build up the system try this tonic
known as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Get it now!

INCREASE IN WESTERN
CANADA ACREAGE
viii Prove a Big Factor in Win
nina the War.

Reports to hand indicate that West
ern Canada has a vastly increased
acreage ready for crop this year over
last year. The splendid open fall of
1917, gave better opportunity for fall
blowing than for some years. Work
in the fields was almost continuous
until the end of November. In fact, in
the neighborhood Of Pincher Creek,
Alberta, there was sufficient mild
weather in January of this year to
permit farmers to pillow, and many
took advantage Of it. A great many
Americans owning land in Canada
moved up last year, and this has also
helped to increase the acreage. They
came into possession of the land at
prices varying from $500 to $4,000
an acre, and with the proven yields
high as fifty bushels per acre, with a
set price Of 1921 a bushel, they could
Join production and patriotism to-
gether with a big margin Of profit.
The Post-Intelligencer Of Seattle,
Wash, gives a very conservative state
and opportunities in Western Canada.
In its issue Of December IA, 1917, it
says -
"Since the beginning Of the year
American emigration into Canada has
been greatly stimulated according to
ties, and has been almost entirely made
up of farmers attracted by the fertile
and comparatively cheap wheat lands.
"Whatever may be said of wheat
culture as a profitable avocation in
ordinary years, since the beginning Of
the war it has offered advantages
quite beyond the usual opportunities.
War has doomed the price of wheat
until the farmer now receives around
50 for his product at his granary.
Average crops, according to the adap-
tation Of soil and climate are from
- to % bushels to the acre. Even
the minimum crop, at 81 per bushel,
brings in these war times a reasonable
profit. Before the war wheat culture
was fast being abandoned by farmers
who worked intelligently for results
on the right side Of the ledger. 1t has
been the popular crop for new coun-
tries, but when the pioneers settled
down to business it was generally
corn, hogs, cattle and diversified farm
ing that brought the profits. Iowa and
the Dakotas in turn, as their prairies
became settled, mortgaged the land on
wheat culture and afterwards paid off
the mortgages with corn and hogs.
"War is thus bringing a temporary
encouragement to wheat farming.
Many of the ranchers Of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta laid away
$4,000 to $4,000 in the banks last fall.
1t may be pointed out, however, that
the growing of wheat is not the only
inducement which is leading settle
ment to Canadian lands. Low taxation,
favorable agricultural climate, and
profitable prices not only for grain but
for hogs, cattle and all forms of farm
produce all contribute their share
toward the rapid settlement of the fer
tile lands of Western Canada. AID

We Are Bio Eaters.

. Studies Of the monthly per capita
consumption of wheat, meat, fat and
sugar in the United States and in Eu-
ropean countries show that, in general,
people in the United States eat the
most a person. The German sugar ra-
ton for 1916-1917 was hardly more
than one-tenth of our consumption and
in meats we consumed almost six times
as much as the Germans were allowed.
France is on slightly more liberal
diet than Germany, yet the French su-
gar ration is only IL pounds month
a person as compared with IA pounds
in the United States. England, though
commonly considered a country Of
hearty eaters, uses even less fat than
France and is about midway between
France and the United States in meat
and sugar consumption.

George N. Turner, for 40 years a
clerk in a Nashville grocery store, was
the victim Of practical joke.
The store was crowded with custom

busy. A young man came in carrying
a jug and asked for one-half gallon OF
vinegar. After working several min
utes with a frozen vinegar pump, Tur-

about full the jug "exploded' and
Turner was covered with vinegar and
