''CAN \ BE CURED?" SAYS
 THE SUFFERER

How often have you heard that sad cry from the victims of disease. Per- haps the disorder has gone too far for help, but oftener it is just in it's first stages and the pains and aches are only natures first cries for help. Do noc despair. Find out the cause and give nature all the help you can and she will repay you with health. Look after the kidneys. The kidneys are the most overworked organs of the human body. and when they fail in their work of Altering and throwing off the poison that constantly accumuIates in the sys- tenn, everything goes wrong. GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules will give almost immediate relief from kid- ney and bladder troubles and their kim dred ailments. They will free your body from pain in short order. But be sure to get GOLD MEDAL. Look for the name on every box. In three sizes, sealed packages. Money refunded if they do not help you. Adv.

BIC POTATO YIELD
Western Canada Man Raised 600
 Bushels on Two Acres.
He Thinks He Did Pretty We'll, but There Were Even Larger crops in' the Neighborhood-Live
 Stock Men Prosper.

As by-product the yield of potatoes on the farm of Ben -Pawson of Coal dale, Alberta, was somewhat of a pay ing proposition. Coaldale is in the Medicine Hat district of Alberta. Med icine, Hat is 8 place, pictured in the mind of many Americans, where the weather man holds high carnival, and when he wants to put a little life or spirit into the people just moves the mercury down a few notches. The rascal has thus given Medicine Hat rather unenyiabIe place on the map. But it isn't half as bad as it is pie tured. Anyway, Ben Pawson likes it. Last year he grew six hundred bush els of potatoes on two acres of land that had no special preparation, and only the usual precipitation, or rain, as the less cultured would call it. When he couldn't work at his hay or grain, because of the damp mornings, he gave them some attention. And then evenings between supper and chores and bedtime he gave them some work. Anyway his yield was, six hun dred bushels, and he sold the whole lot for $2S5. Ben is satisfied. Still
 
 the neighborhood. -
 If one might speak of hogs in the same breath in which you speak of po- tatoes, there is nothing in the ethics of literature that would create de barment. Taking advantage of this license it will not be out of place to state that large potato yields are not the only feature of interest in this new and interesting country. Amongst others hogs are having a good deal of attention. Not long ago, hogs reached the $2300 mark on the Calgary market. It doesn't cost much to raise a hog and very little to bring him to a weight of 200 pounds. Don't cost much! Ger tainly not. But what about the man who recently paid $35O for Duroc Jersey Boar? That was all right. That man knew what he was doing. He was do ing what a great many other farmers in Western Canada are doing today. He is acting on the old "saw," that sit costs no more to raise good crit ter than poor one" That is the req son that Western Canada is looming large in the live stock world. The best is none too good. The same may be said of horses, cattle, yes, and sheep, too. The very best sires and dams of the best breeds are purchased. And while big prices are paid. it is felt that the demand for pure-bred stock at home and abroad will bring returns which will warrant any reasonable price that may be asked.-Advertise ment.
