Rheumatism Goes
Torturing Pains and Swollen Joints Vanish When Rheuma Is Used.

At last a real remedy for rheuma- tism! And good one it must be when The Lee & Osgood Co. and good drug gfsts everywhere sell it on the mo- cure no-pay basis.
 Rheumatics should hail the news with great rejoicing, for it Is surely q remarkable remedy and has record of almost unbelievable cures. Read what J. F. Oliver of Albany. Ga, says about it:
 T had Scratic r'heumahs for. two years. and tried every medicine offered for rheumatism. Tried many doctors was treated at one of the best south ern sanatoriums, and if improved anA I did not realize Il. I am a conductor on the Central of Georgia railroad, and had secured pass to Hot Springs. Ark. to take treatment. About that time I saw Rheuma adVer- tised and concluded to try 1t. l aban- doned my trip, took three bottles, and now feel as well as ever. l m gong to make everybody I see who has rheumatism try it l would not take q hundred thousand dollars for what RheunFa has done for me. l would rather be dead than live as ] was be- fore the use of Rheuma."
 If you have rheun1a tiSm in any form, don't delay-tTy Rheuma today. A large bottle, sufficient for two weeks treatment, is not expensive, and your money back if it does not give you quick and joyful relief

meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty
of vegetables, drink plenty Of water
between meals, and take an uric acid
solvent after meals for while, such as
Anuric double strength), Obtalnable at

CHANGE IN THE
FARMERS LIFE
Making a Living" Idea Has De-
veloped Into a Money
Making Fact"

a--
A few years ago-and not so many
at that-most farmers were satisfied
If they saw ahead of them the oppor
tanity to make q fair living, reason
able competence in their failing years,
and an assurance of an existence for
their familIes. They worked hard.
and, titled their acres with this end in
view. Honest struggle, earnest eff
fort and true conception of upright
manhood, together with the increas-
Ing knowledge that upon the fruits of
their endeavor rested the structure of
the world, whose people had to be fed
and maintained. Economy in method,
improved conditions of working, have
added to the farmers possibilities, and
today instead of being a plodder for
an existence, which his early training
had bred into him, he has become the
bulwark of the nation. and, as such,
has become elevated to position
where his word and his work are rec
ognized as the factors it was always
intended they should be. He is now
the man of business-of big business.
He has forced an appreciation of his
work, and the true value has been
placed upon 1t. The big men of the
country today are the farmers, who,
with business acumen and forensic
fOrethOught are able to tell yOu-frOm
their books-what 1t costs to produce
a bushel of wheat or a pound of wool.
All of which is intended to prove
that farming is business. as much
as banking or selling suit of clothes.
1t Is an Industrial business, with more
certain profits than accompany any
other line of trade. 1t Is a manufac-
turing enterprise, devoid of any of the
dangers that the frills of fashions
follies and desires force upon ordinary
pursuits. Food is something that all
must have and the farmer produces it.
The cheaper 1t can be produced the less
will be the cost to the consumer. And
this Is one of the chief thoughts of the
farmer. Within the memory of the
ten-year-old boy there have been i'm
provements in machinery, changes in
methods, scientific discoveries of chem
icals as adapted to agriculture. all Of
which has lessened cost of production
and made possible the cultivation of
increased acres. In some parts these
things have brought about more inten-
sified agriculture, growing heavier
crops on less acres. Improved machin-
cry and demand for greater production
have led another class in search of
larger areas, where their ability may
cope with the growing of greater
number of bushels. That is one of the
reasons why Western Canada lands
have recently come into such demand.
These, at from twenty to thirty dol
lars an acre, and producing the pro-
digious crops that are claimed for
them, have attracted thousands of
American settlers, while other thou
sands have gone out into the lands in
the Western states. But, as to the Can
ada lands, there Is this to say Of them,
today they are cheap. and II they will
yield sufficient in one year to pay the
cost Of the entire purchase, why should
not there be demand. The country
Is well settled, and settlement Is in
creasing. AS evidence of the growth
of the three Western Provinces into
whose territories the Canadian Govern
ment invites settlers, recent reports

1t will be observed that the average
price of land 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 lin
tied means.
A good idea of advancement in
country's progress may be obtained by
n knowledge of what has been done in
the production of cattle, and when
these figures are studied In connection
with Western Canada, a country whose
fame having been heralded as a grain
growing country. giving the idea that
that was what 1t was mostly adapted
to, 1t will be realized that there Is
there vast stOrehouse of wealth
awaiting those who choose to take ad-
vantage of it. In the three provinces
in 1912 there were-horses. milch cows,
other cattle, sheep and swine, four mil
lion head, while in 1917 the number
was seven million.
In 1901 the entire population was
1852; in 1916 1,69s, ,22O.
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's at the present time.
The fact that Canada has as its next
door neighbor nation Of over 100, ,OOO.-
0OO-the richest nation in the world.
is bound to have stimulating effect
on its 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 basis of those Of the United
States.-Advertiseme

has always taken an active interest
in every enterprise tending to the
betterment of his community. he
was among the first to subscribe
money about 30 years ago, for the
preliminary surveys for what later
became the Fort Lyon canal, and
after its completion he served for

ing highly satisfactory to the many

served two terms on the city coun.

the first subscribers to stock in
The Farmers Cooperative Alfalfa
mill, at Big Bend, which is prob
ably the most successful cO-Opera-

the necessity OF drainage for the
