YOU NEED NOT SUFFER WITH
BACKACHE AND RHEUMATISM

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been a standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and
bladder are the most important organs of
the body. They are the filters, the puri-
6ers of your blood. If the poisons which
enter you system through the blood and
stomach are not entirely thrown out by
the kidneys and bladder you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins, and lower abdo-
men, gall-stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, s~ciatica, lutnbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules are
what you need.

4 KLONDIKE TO The
REAL FARMER
A Western Canada Crop Estimat-
ed at $4,000, Makes
$4,000.

Messrs. Harris, formerly of Audu-
bon, Iowa, wrote the audubon Advo-
cate" expressing their satisfaction Of
things in Western Canada. They To-
Gated at Makepeace, Alberta. They
say there are those who make good,
and those who fail. The former are
those that land agents refer to when
advertising their land. 'But,' contin-
ues the letter, "a great many of the
farmers in this vicinity pay for their
land with their first crop. A man
near here bought a section of land in
the year 1915 for $23 per acre. He
broke 300 acres of the land during the
summer Of 1915. In the fall of 1916
he threshed 10000 bushels of wheat,
which paid for his lan6 all expenses
and had a balance Of $4,000. In the
fall of 1917 he threshed nearly as
much off the other half of the section.
At the present time he would not take
$50 per acre for his land.
"We have had five crops in Alberta.
The two dry years (1914-191D our
wheat made 20 and 80 bushels to the
acre respectively. In 1916 we raised
so bushels of wheat to the acre on
summer fallow. The best results are
obtained by blowing or breaking in
the summer, working it down in the
fall SO that it will retain the moisture.
Thus farming one-half your ground
each year.
Persons owning land here and still
living in the States should, if they
don't feel themselves able to come up
here and finance themselves until they
could get their first crop, get some of
their land broken and worked down
in the fall before they come. The
next spring they could come and put
in the crop, fence and put up their
buildings. This way they have to
wait only one summer for their first
crop.
SIT is not advisable for a person to
come here in the spring, break out
land and put it in crop the first year
because the moisture Is not in the
ground and a failure is almost Ger
tain unless it is an exceptionally wei
year. 8 s.
"One Of the boys from that locality
Mr.. Peder NJ. Jensen came to Alberta
last spring. He bought a 1890 Rum
ely Oil-Pull engine on the 9Th day Of
June, 1917. After that date he BROKE
HOO acres Of prairie sod for which
he received an average of $500 pc,

that place 0 o reached his ears. To
a man of his character, with too much
spirit to follow a bad example when he
had the power to set a good one, and
too much wit to look for happiness
anywhere but in his own bosom, it
could not long be questionable what
part he had to act.
"a market cart was instantly con-
structed and regularly three times a
week e n off to Belle Haven filled
with nice roasters, kid~ney-covered
lamb and veal, green geese. fat ducks
and gobblers, chickens by the basket,
fresh butter, new-laid eggs, vegetables
and fruit of all sorts. Country gen
tlemen dining with their friends in

Famous Carlyle House.
The market where Washington sent
his farm products lay right in the
heart Of Alexandria and upon a square
! about which stood some of the towns
most noted residences and landmarks.
Among these was the Carlyle house,
and despite the passage of time and
the physical changes wrought in that
quaint Virginia city, this historic home
survives intact today. The Carlyle
house is intimately identified with
Washington's career and particularly
with the very beginning of his mill
tary calling.
AS the story goes, the bricks for the
building were imported and so, too, the
stone of which it was built in 1872.
John S. Carlyle utilized for part
of the foundation "a portion OF
an old fort, which many years earlier
| had stood guard against the Indians
for the protection of English traders
t on Hunting Creek, as the place was
I then known. The barracks of that ad
vance post of civilization became the
cellar of the Carlyle house, and there
} in its cool shadows was stored the
mellow wine that tickled the palate:
of those days. From the heavy beams
/ overhead hung pendant the luscious
l hams for which Virginia is still noted

in some sections of the country with
all the acclaim of something new. The
markets which are being opened for the
purpose of bringing the farm products
to the consumer, to the exclusion of
the middleman, are by no means a
twentieth century invention. Most
people don't know that George Wash
ington essayed truck gardening and
the maintenance of a market wagon,

was to provide variety and to make
his neighbors more satisfied with their
lot that Washington sent his market
wagon Just once in SO often to Alex
n1sdria loaded with the products of
the farmyard and the field of Mount
Vernon. History does not tell US
whether Washington reached the
hearts of his associates more speedily
by the short route of their stomachs,
but there is no doubt that his wise
forethought brought him both graft
tude and substantial reward.
The Cart Goes to Town.
Old ParsOn Weems, who has chatted
so glibly about life in Alexandria, tells
us that there was a time there when
the town had more reason to boast of
it's beauty than its capacity to glad
den the inner man. To quote that rev.
erend chronicler:

Motor Horn In War.

Now the motor horn has taken its
place in warfare and many a honk may
be heard along the frst-line trenches.
The horns are used for signaling pur>
poses only. They are placed on the
parapet Of the trench, facing inward
and are connected by wires leading to
the stations of the commanders. Clos
ing a contact sets them honking al
up the line and conveys a signal tC

house was filled. Washington was a
very frequent guest at the Carlyle
house and one can easily imagine the
part he played in that atmosphere Of
bounteous hospitality and courtly
grace.
Tradition has it that it was in that
very house that Washington met one
of his few defeats. On the right of
the broad hallway is what was once
a drawing room, said to have been fin
ished originally in white and gold, and
there on many occasions Washington
took an active part in the social fes-
Notwithstanding many a fair Virgin
ian through the stately minuet and the
less formal reel. The hallway, itself,
If tradition be correct, has its own
sentimental interest, for it was at the
foot of the beautiful staircase of solid
mahogany that Washington awaited
the coming of lovely Sally Fairfax
upon a certain evening, and, while es-
corting her to the ballroom, offered
that lady his heart and was refused.
On the opposite side Of this same
hall is the 'blue and white ROOM"
which was John Carlyle's particular
retreat or sanctum. That room is of
especial interest to us as a nation, for
it was there that Washington re-
ceived his commission as a member
of General Braddock's staff in 1853.

him much which later he put to good
service in behalf of his country.
Braddock Took Possession.
When Braddock arrived he accept
ed the proffered hospitality of John
Carlyle and established headquarters
there. The little blue and white room
became the military council chamber,
and it was there that the plans were
made for the campaign. Washington's
previous experience as a leader of Vir
ginia troops against the savages made
him all the more welcome at the con
ferences, and his keen judgment an6
practical advice earned for him Brad
docks admiration and won for him his
colonelcy upon the generals staff.

Western Canada has a enormous acreage to be seeded, but man power
is short, and an appeal to the United States allies is for more men for seed

Demand From Canada Alone for 1919 is 400, 600, 900 Bushels
To secure this she must have assistance. She has the land but needs
the men. The Government of the United States wants every man who can
effectively help, to do farm work this year. 1t wants the land in the United
