Hot Weather Hits us
Hardest in Stomach

EATONIC is the wonderful new
compound that absorbs the harm

instantly drives away stomach
misery.
Instead of sudden and painful
attacks of indigestion, after you
begin using EATONIC you'll for.
get you have stomach. And ther,
will be no more heartburn, food
repeating, sour stomach. gas pains,
or that lumpy, bloated feeling you have
so often experienced after eating. Then
your appetite-you know how bard it
is to satisfy in hot weather-eat one or
two EATON1C Tablets a half hour be-
fore meals-and you will enjoy the re.
suits and feel better in every way.
These are a few reasons why you
should start using gEATONIC today and
fortify your stomach against the chance

for big package. Your druggist whom
you know and can trust, will promptly
refund your money if you are not
more than satisfied.

change of diet-will make us all
easier prey to stomach and bowel
trouble than ever before. It is SO
easy to become overheated on a
blazing hot day, especially after
eating hearty meal. And then
the excessive heat makes us flood
our stomachs with all kinds of
cold drinks. That's bad at any
time; much worse-even danger
ous-when there is the slightest
feeling of stomach trouble.
Keep the stomach sweet and
cool and free from too much acid
that's about all that is neces-
sary. It's not so much the diet
as to keep the poison from start
ing trouble. You can easily do
this if you will just take tablet or
two of EATONIC after your meals.

Fly papers, poisons and traps at
best are only temporary expedients.
The most logical method of abating
The fly nuisance is the elimination or
treatment of all breeding places. 1t
would appear, specialists say, from
what Is known of the life history and
habits of the common house fly that
it is perfectly feasible for cities and
towns to reduce the numbers of these
annoying and dangerous insects so
greatly as to render them of compara-
lively slight account. Following are
some recommendations of entomolo-
gists who have studied the subject
thoroughly:
Water-tight floors in stables, of con-
crete or masonry, prevent egg devel-
Opmaht.
Horse manure should be kept In fly
tight pits or bins, equipped wherever
possible with fiytraps. Manure should
be removed frequently, not less fire.
quentIy than twice week during the
summer months.
In rural and suburban districts sta
BILE manure should be removed every
morning and hauled out at once and
spread rather thinly on the fields, not
only TO prevent development Of fly
eggs, but to get the maximum fertiliz-
ing value.
Treatment of manure with chemical
substances to kill the eggs and mag
gots Of the house fly has been found
effective In experiments by the de-
partment Of agriculture. which has
publications for free distribution de-
scribIng in detail this and other meth
DDS of destroying flies, their eggs and
maggots.
Not only horse stables but chicken
yards, piggeries and garbage recepta-
cles ss well must be guarded. In
cities, with better methods of garbage
disposal and with the lessening of the
number of horses and stables with the
increase of street railways and auto
mobiles, the time may not be far
away, according to department special
lists, when window screens may be dis
carded.

SWatting in Summer May Prevent
Abundant Reproduction Be-
fore Cold Weather.
IS VERITABLE GERM HUN"
Screening and Use Of Papers, Polsons
and Traps Are Good Only as Tenn
porary Expedients-Use of
Formalin Is Favored.

Every fly that this year contamin-
ites and destroys food or spreads i'll
ness Is an enemy of America In even
greater degree than in the past. AS
a fly hunter, alluding to the tendency
of the insect to spread disease. ex-
pressed 1t recently, the fly is verit-
able "Germ-Hun." Every fly de-
stroyed means contribution, be 1t
ever so slight, to the cause of Amer
lea efficient.
The best time to swat the fly. of
course, is early in the breeding season,
before the young ones have become
grandparents. Flies killed In the
spring prevent hordes later on. But
1t is never-ending battle. and In
late July and early August vigilance
becomes more than ever necessary.
Work to kill flies even at this time
may prevent abundant reproduction
before cold weather. In fact, there is
no closed season in hunting flies A
swat In any day of the year is
merltorious swat, and even fly buzz
ing around window-pane in pidwin-
ter should be regarded as legitimate
prey.
Controlling the Fly.
Careful screening of windows and
doors during the summer months does
not decrease the number of flies, but
at least 1t lessons the danger of con-
tamination of food. This applies not
only to homes, but with equal force
to stores, restaurants, bakeries, dali
ries, and every other place where food
Is handled. Use of sticky fly papers
to destroy flies that have gained ac-
cess to houses also is well-known, and
fiy-poison preparations GRE common.
Many Of the commercial fly poisons
contain arsenic, and their use In the
household is attended by considerable
danger, especially to children. This
danger. according to specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, is lessened by the use of weak
solution of formalin. An effective fly
poison Is made by adding three tea
spoonfuls of the commercial formalin
TO a pint Of milk or water sweetened
with little brown sugar.
Flytraps may be used to advantage.
Their use has been advocated not only
because of immediate results, but be-
cause of the chances that the flies may
be caught before they lay their first
batch of eggs, thus reducing the num-
bers OF future generations. Many
types Of fly traps are on the market,
and as a rule the larger ones are eff
feetiye. The United States department
of agriculture on request will send
directions for making flytraps, not only
for. household use, but for catching
files and destroying eggs around sta
bles and other breeding places.

ADVANCEMENT IN
WESTERN CANADA
FARM LAND PRICES

Stories of phenomenal advancement
and prosperity In Western Canada
have been told the reading public for
some years past. The stories were told
when there were hundreds of thous-
ands Of acres Of splendid land adja-
cent to railways and projected lines,
which could be had on the payment Of
a mere $40 entry fee, and under culti-
yation and living conditions. AS was
prophesied then, the day has come
when these are few. There are still
available thousands Of these; they are
some distance now from the railways.
The land is as good as ever, but pio-
neering conditions will have changed.
great many are still taking advan-
tage OF this free offer from the govern
ment. The story was told when good
lands near lines of railway could be
bought for from $8 to $40 per acre
and the prophecy made that these
prices would double in few years, for
the intrinsic value was far more than
that. That day has come more quickly
than expected. The immense crops of
grain that could be raised has brought
about the change, and the demand for
low priced lands with maximum re-
turns has prompted the keen pur-
chaser as well as the owner of higher
priced land from which no greater re-
turn could be looked for. Prices of
land In Western Canada are still ad-
vancing, and will continue to advance
until, Of course, the limit is reached
when returns will warrant no further
Increase. That day is not far distant.
But, In the meantime, there are large
tracts of land owned ny land compa-
niles and private individuals that have
not felt the advance that has been
shown In other districts. The oppor.
tunity to purchase these should not
be lost sight Of, and If there are those
amongst the readers of this article,
which Is authorized by the Canadian
government, who wish cheap land,
such lands as produce from 25 to 40
bushels per acre, and will pay for
themselves out of one years crop, ad-
vantage should be taken of the present
opportunity.
Coming to Alberta with his family
thirteen years ago, his assets consist
Ing OF small outfit and $40 in cash,
Mr.. o. F. Malmberg has accumulated
by farming and live stock raising as
sets to the value of more than $780,
900, and hns personal credit, worth
on demand. 100000. He has not specu-
lated In land, but bought only to farm.
Near Blackie, Alberta, he operates 81
100 acres of wheat land. He has Just
purchased an additional 1850 acres
near Cardston, in Southern Alberta.
His personal credit enabled him to
finance this deal in Calgary in little
over three hours. The ranch just pur-
chased Is fully equipped stock and
grain ranch. At the present time 1t
carries thousand head of cattle and
several hundred horses, and is fully
equipped with buildings, machinery,

COSTLY FOODS ARE
NOT AL WAYS BEST

The nutritive value Of an ar
ticle of food and Its price sell
dom have any relation to each
other. An expensive cut of beef
is not necessarily any more sus-
tanning than cheap one. 1t
usually tastes better or can be
cooked by easier methods. But
care in cooking and seasoning
will make inexpensive meats at
tractive and much better than
costly ones poorly prepared.
With fruits and vegetables
the price is often determined
by the season. A vegetable out
of season is much more expen-
sive than one in season, but 1t
is no more nutritive.
