CANADA'S new
development
After the War a Period of Pros.
perity.

1t is evident that the Government Of
the Dominion in its programme of re-
construction and development is I'M
dertaking work of tremendous inn
portance. There will be available the
labor for work that has been silent
since 1914, and the rehabilitation of
this labor will entail the thought and
energy of most capable heads. The
transition period from war to peace
will be rapid and thorough, and, in
stead of Canada sinking into a state
of lethargy, there will be continued
period of wakefulness that will give
employment to the unemployed, and
render to the capitalist and producer
ample return for his money effort
and enterprise.
The agricultural potentialities of
the great Canadian West possess Him
liable acres of the best of soil, capable
of producing millions of bushels of
the best of grain. The cost of grow
ing this is lower than any place on
the continent. There will be greater
demand than ever for these lands, the
consequent production will be heavier
and the profits attractive. Cattle
industry will be one of the chief de-
velopments, and the encouragement of
it will lie in the continued high prices
that beef products will bring. Euro
pean countries have been depleted of
cattle, and the demand for beef, cattle
and dairy products will tax the efforts
of the producer for years to come.
Western Canada offers unequaled
opportunities for development In this
line.
In the Canadian West plans are be-
ing laid for the development of cleo
trical power which can be produced
cheaply. There is an abundance of
coal and water power that could be
used In developing this useful energy.
What cheap power produced In this
way will mean to the farmer and de-
velopment of Industrial enterprises
cannot be estimated in figures.
More extensive development of the
water power at Niagara, on the st.
Lawrence and at waterfalls all over
the country, is ready to be launched.
Peace will see new mine fields
opened up, and it is equally certain
that shipbuilding, railway equipment,
steel production, and many of the in
dustries will go forward with a
bound.
Canadian Industries will be required
in the reconstruction of Europe, and
already the Canadian Government has
sent across the seas a commission for
the purpose of securing orders. Can.
ada took an early and prominent part
in the war, and in the days of peace
will be found equally active. She feels
that by the valor and loyalty of her
people she has earned large share
of the business and prosperity that
will follow the war period, and she
proposes to get Advertisement.

the ground level, and measure respec'
lively GA feet, 63h feet and 62 feet in
length, by 13 feet in thickness and
about the same in breadth. The
writer notes that they are so beau
tifully squared and fitted that, al
though without mortar, it would be
difficult to put knife between them.
The quarry from which these gigan.
tic stones were brought is about half
mile away; and there another one,
still larger, is to be seen. This is 68
feet long and, being squared on all
sides, was left in process of being cut
from the rock below, when rollers
would have been placed under it. But
of what were they, and what power
was sufficient to move and control
this immense mass of limestone rock?
Romans Reused the Stones.
The Roman builders would appear
to have largely reused the stones OF
the earlier Phoenician work. The tenn
pie of the Sun itself had "a columns,
II each on the north and south sides,
and ten each on the east and west
sides. On the south side six of these
great columns still remain standing.
They are 70 feet in height, including
base and capital, while the entabla-
ture above adds another IA feet; the
shafts consist of three blocks only,
joined with iron ties, their diameter
is Z feet 3 inches at the base and 6
feet 6 inches at the top. To the

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
30 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it trial. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper-Ady

north and south. These were IS feet
in height, the shafts being G, feet 6
inches at the base, and feet inches
at the top. The entablature was IL
feet high, the distance between the
columns and the celia is 10 feet the
ceiling being formed by great slabs
of stone connecting them, and beau
tifully decorated. The north facade
is the best preserved, where nine col
umns out of fifteen still remain in
position.
About 300 yards from the great tenn
pies is the small shrine of Venus, a
circular sanctuary Of exquisite work
manship; this was once surrounded
by columns, but only traces of these
remain. 1t has been turned into a
Christian church, and was so used till
within recent times by the Greeks.

Men Who Dare to Do.

Conventional men consider clothing,
reputation and returns. The age calls
for men who forget all in The chal-
lenge of the opportunity. While the
crowd speculates and wonders, the
man of the hour sees the opportunity
and goes on to success. His fearless
ness is mark of his fitness. He
dares while others cringe. 1t is this
quality that gives the lion-tamer con-
troll of the beast. 1t is the quality
that has thrilled every man that has
risen above the average It's a case

I'm THE path of the victorious
British expedition In Palestine as
it moved northward lay the noun
tain ranges of the Lebanon, and
AleppO the taking of which city gave
complete control of the Syrian end of
the Bagdad railway and Of the i'm
portant port of Alexandretta, the best
harbor i'm the country. From Damas-
Gus the railway to the north traverseS
the Beka'a, long, fertile valley be-
tween the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon
ranges. In the middle of this valley
on the slope of the latter range is
situated the ancient town Of Baalbek
celebrated for its wonderful ruins.
Baalbek is a small and prosperous
town, a large part of the population
being Christian, says Country Life,
and it is the seat of the government
of province of the same name and
a military center. Ya'kubi, an Arab
writer of the ninth century, speaks of
Baalbek as one of the finest towns of
Syria, and other writer's make allusion
to this beautiful spot and it's wonder
full ruins. 1t is spoken of by the geog-
rapher, Muir Kaddasi, as the coolest
place in Syria.
AS the name Baalbek, which is
Semitic in origin, implies, it was con-
nected from early times with the wor-
ship of the sun, probably meaning the
city of Baal in the Beka'a, by which
the Dlain is known The PhOeniciaDS
here erected great temple to Baal
constructed with colossal stones after
their manner. This was afterwards
utilized and reconstructed in the Grae-
co-Roman period, when the name Baal-
bek took the Greek form of Heliopolis.

colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges.

is said to be no cure.
Do not delay minute. At the first ins
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules, and
