"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 its first

natures first cries for help. Do not
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
filtering and throwing off the poison
that constantly accumulates in the sys-
TEN, everything goes wrong. GOLD

BIG POTATO YIELD
Western Canada Man Raised 600
Bushels on Two Acres.
He Thinks He Did Pretty Well, but
There Were Even Larger Crops
in the Neiehborhood-LiVe
Stock Men Prosper.

As a by-product the yield of potatoes
on the farm Of Ben Pawson Of Coal
dale, Alberta, was somewhat Of q pay
ing proposition. Coaldale is in the
Medicine Hat district of Alberta. Med
icine Hat is a 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 unenviable place on the map.
But it isn't half as bad as it is pic
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 IL.
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 $685.. Ben is satisfied Still
there were larger yields than this in
the neighborhood.
If one might speak of hogs In the
same breath in which you speak Of POI
tatoes, there is nothing in the ethics
of literature that would create a 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 q good deal Of
attention. Not long ago, hogs reached
the $500 mark on the Calgary market.
1t doesn't cost much TO raise a hog
and very little to bring him to weight
of 200 pounds. Don't cost much Ger
tainly not. But what about the man who
recently paid $3.50 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
cit costs no more to raise a good crit
ter than poor one" That is the rea-
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.-Adyertise-

Now He Wakes Up.

Jake had always been most diff
cult fellow to arouse from his slum-
bers and persisted in not hearing the
reveille. Finally the captain ordered
him to be brought In To him. When
Jake appeared the captain inquired
how many times he had had to he
called that morning. Jake replied
evasiyely by saying he didn't know.
The captain studied a few moments,
then took sheet of paper and drew a
small circle on it. After fastening the
paper TO the wall he turned to Jake
and said: Take a position with your
face TO the wall and the end Of your
nose in that circle and remain until
you are ordered to move"
Poor Jake stood until almost noon
staring into the wall and needless to
say he never failed to respond to the
reyeille afterward.

New York.-The Mexican problem
was never more Troublesome. Condi-
tons in that revolutiOn-racked land
were never more chaotic than they are
today. Carranza now controls little
more than one-half Of Mexican terri
tory and his hold on that is not at all
secure. Opposed to him are six organ
lied rebel organizations, not including
the Sonora Yaquls, while everywhere
his authority is hampered and his
troops harassed by organized ban
ditry.
Bearing upon actual conditions In
Mexico, the New York Times has come
into possession of certain information,
now in the official possession of the
United States government. Verifica-
ton Of these statements which follow
is to be found in the archives of the
government in Washington.
Carranza has officially claimed that
he is supported by a regular army Of
10000 well disciplined and well
equipped troops. This statement is
not borne out by the facts in the case,
and the truth of the matter is that his
armed forces number not more than
10000 officers and enlisted men, who
are poorly equipped, whose morale is
III low ebb, yet upon whose loyalty de-
ponds CarranZa's sway over a people
who number more than 115,000.000.

Three General Divisions.

The contending forces in Mexico
may be referred TO under three gen.
eral heads. They are:
First-The federal or Carranzista
forces.
Second-The rebel forces led by
Felipe Angeles, Francisco villa, GULL
ermo Meixuerio, a full-booded Zapotec
Indian, and by many well-informed OBJ
servers considered the ableSt and most
trustworthy leader in Mexico Felix
Diaz, Manuel Pelaez, who dominates
the Tampico and adjacent oil fields /;
the Zapatistas, still. despite Carranza
affirmation, a power in that part Of
Mexico of which the state of Morelos
is the center; General Cantu, governor
of the state of Lower California, and
the organized Yaqui Indian forces Of
the western part of the border state of
Sonora.
Third-The bandits who, in small
groups, are operating everywhere in
Mexico.
AS to the first or federal forces sup
porting tdTFduId, IL II, as alTedny
pointed out, the official claim of the
present Mexican, or Carranza, govern
ment, that this force numbers 10000
men. 1t is conscript army TO a
great extent and it is small and inefIi-
cient for two reasons, the first being
Carranzas inability 10 enforce con
scription and the second the fact that
he is unable properly to equip, train
or maintain necessary discipline.
Owing to these two conditions, over
which Carranza appears to have no
control, the federal army of Mexico is

Smuggle Arms in.

Smuggle Arms IN.
The seventh of Carranza's troubles
are the Yaquls Of western Sonora.
Theg- are operating in bandit groups
and number probably several thousand
Like the Villistas, they are armed and
equipped by smuggling from the United
States. The Yaquis are among the
hardest and best fighters in Mexico
and little if any effort is being made
by the federal government to restore
order In that part of Sonora under
their domination.
Lastly, the bandits. Official reports
prOve that everywhere in Mexico the
outlaw bands are TO be found. Their
number Is unknown. but they are
powerful enough to hold the attention
of a considerable part of Carranza's
hard-pressed little regular army Of CO.
600 men.
Briefly, what precedes gives the line
up of the factions that are lighting
for control of Mexico.
Here are some Of the facts, officially
established, that have resulted from
the countrywide interneclne strife in
Mexico.
Economically Mexico is In the midst
Of crisis which is characterized by
the intense poverty and the actual want
of the great mass of the people. The
morale of the population everywhere
was never lower than ut the present
time. The general health Of the peo-
pie Is everywhere bad. Cattle raising,
the principal industry Of the nation, is
today only about ten per cent Of what
1t was in 1914. OF all Mexican in
dustries, the growing of henequin alone
shows progress. All textile factories
and sugar mills, with n few exceptions
are out of business, and those that are
operating are run down and in need Of
repair. Practically all of the coun-
try's 10000 miles of railroads are de-
moralized or destroyed as n result Of
rebel and bandit activity. Not n cent
Of interest has been paid on the ma
tiGnal foreign debt in more than five
years.
More than rs per cent Of the popu-
lation is now absolutely illiterate. The
national credit is gone, and the for
eign oil interests are despite the ap-
parent friendly attitude of Peacz,
menaced. As an indication Of the
health Of the people, latest reports cs-
innate the yearly death rate In Mexico
City is 1000, while the reported birth
rate Is only 1900. 1t is believed, how
ever, that n correct census would show
larger birth rate, although the 1900
estimate Is official.
At the present time al reliable re-
ports coming out Of Mexico Indicate
he precarious condition Of the Carran-
IT. government CarranZa has been
during the past three years probably
the most pro-German head Of a state
