already been sold and already there is
an amount which may reach $25,0oO

leaders that Norwich is going to reach
its quota readily and go way beyond
it.

Tor centuries GOLD MEDAL Harlem
Oil has been standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-
der are the most important organs of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.

dependency, backache, stomach trouble,

to look after your kidneys and bladder.

The examination of the political

have furnished the best war material
and proved themselves dependable in

The officers are also elected by the

blind faith, and give them the most

discipline the new soldiers of liberty
are taught, by their remembrance of

beautiful distinguished service medal.
One coat sleeve was armless, and on

again In 1915, and when her husband
returned In 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings
completed, the Indebtedness Of the farm
paid off, considerable addition to the
stock, and the land ready for 1917
crop. This was the story told by the
soldier, and wasn't he proud man
He was now ready to do what he could
to keep up the period of prosperity
and provide food for the allies. The
women of Canada have done nobly
during the struggle.
Among the most successful farmers
of the Oak Lake district, Manitoba,
are the Misses Clara and Beatrice For
ward, who, for the past fourteen years
have farmed their own land, doing all
the regular work on the farm, such as
blowing, seeding, summer following
and reaping. They have been espe
cially successful with stock, and have
a splendid herd Of shorthorns, both
purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased new
purebred stock bull for $700. Theil
herd was last year increased by q
calves.
