KIDNEY SUFFERERS HAVE
FEELING OF SECURITY

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such medicine is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp-Root.
Swamp-Root is scientifically compound
ed from vegetable herbs.
1t is not stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
According to verified testimony it is
natures great helper in relieving and over
coming kidney, liver and bladder trou-
bles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need medicine, you should have
the best.
If you are already convinced that
Swamp-Root is what you need, you will
find it on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if. you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to DR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
| sample bottle. When writing be sure ane
mention this paper.-Adv.

1t will be observed that the average
price of lands has not kept pace with
their producing value. 1t is therefore
pointed out that the opportunities for
the purchase of high-class land is still
within the reach of those with linn
tied means.
A good idea of advancement in a
country's progress may be obtained by
a knowledge of what has been done in
the production of cattle, and when
these figures are studied in connection
With Western Canada, country whose
fame having been heralded as grain
growing country, giving the idea that
that was what it was mostly adapted
to. it will be realized that there is
there vast storehouse of wealth
awaiting those who choose to take adj
vantage of it, In the three provinces
in 1912 there were-horses. mich cows,
other cattle, sheep and swine, four mil
lion head, while in 1917 the number
was seven million.
In 1901 the entire population was
419512; in 1916 1,698,220.
One marvels at the rapid progress
of the United States during the nine
teenth century. But Americas oppor-
tunities for growth at the beginning
of that century were nothing compared
to the opportunities which are Can
ada'c at tho nreSpnt time
The fact that Canada has as its next
door neighbor nation of over 100000,
/ OO0-the richest nation in the world
is bound to have stimulating effect
on it's progress. Already one sees
signs of it on every hand.
Canada not only has the largest area
of unoccupied, but fertile, land of any
country, but this land is already made
available by network of railways
! Cost of production of grain is lower
than elsewhere, while the prices are
on a basis of those of the United
| tes.-Advertisement.

Governor Joins in National
Movement.
Issues Proclamation Asking Employers
and Employees to Cooperate with
State Arbitrators.

St. Paul, April 3.-Governor J. A.
A. Burnquist has put Minnesota in
the national movement to cut labor
disputes during the war by issuing a
proclamation asking both employers
and employees through their organ
izations to cooperate with the state
board of arbitration and WORK out a
program for submission of all indus
trial disputes to a settlement before
is along the line of a national agree
ment.
Board to Hear Gases.
Members of the state board of arbi-
tration are R. F. Pack of Minneapolis,
representing employers, and R. F..
Schroeder of ST. Paul, representing
employees. Under the law, when any
dispute is brought before them, the
two are to select third, impartial
citizen, to sit with them.
The proclamation is as follows:
Whereas, during the war it is extreme
| ly desirable that every industrial dispute
be settled without the necessity of strikes
| and lockouts and accompanying losses to
both employers and employees, as well as
| to the public, all of which tend to weaken
| the war power of the government and to
decrease the production of our industries,
and.
whereas, labor conditions in Minnesota
should be made as stable as possible so
| that our state may be in a position to
receive additional contracts from the fed
eral government and other sources, result
| ing in more work for wage earners and in
| a maximum output from this state. thus
enabling our commonwealth to be of great
| er service to the nation and
| Whereas, under the laws of Minnesota.
there now exists a state board of arbitra-
| tion to which matters pertaining to labor
| controversies have been and may be re-
| ferred and which already has rendered val
liable service in this connection.
Therefore / do hereby request the mem
| bers of said board to confer at the earli-
| est possible opportunity with labor organ
| izations and with employers. associations
| in, order that an understanding may at
| this time be reached whUtby disputes in
| volving unionsm or non-unioniSm or other
| controversies resulting in strikes or lock

| and to the end thst ali Industrial disagree,
