efforts before moving to Canada in
1916 to make a living. 1t was hard
work. He had so many cups and
downs" that he became dispirited be-
fore he learned of the success of for
mer neighbors of his who were doing
we'll up in Canada. He sold his hold
ings for a song, and had sale of what
effects he had. When he Strengthened
few debts he found that he had SLAB
in cash, good constitution, wife
and five children. He had saved some
few things from the sale. These he
put into q car with the effects Of a
couple of others, who like him were
going to Canada. He went into the
Gem Colony in Alberta in 1916, bought
a piece of land and commenced opera
tons. The money he placed in the
bank, and started one of his boys out
to earn enough money to supply the
table The older boy used his wages
to break up the sod on the 16O acres.
But let Mr.. Chamberlain tell the rest

shall never regret coming to Mani
toba I came here seventeen years ago.
I think it was in the spring of 1903.
Ny old home was at LIE Mars, Plym-
Duth county, Washington township,
iowa, where I had been farming for
good many years. I had farm or
24S acres, of which 1 owned 80 acres
and rented 160. When I left in 1913
I sold my equity in the farm for $1,000
per acre. The nearest station to my
place was Dalton, and my old neigh
hors there will remember me very well.
"When 1 came to Canada 1 rented
three-uuarters of q section at South
Plympton, near Springfield, Manitoba.
After a year or two's experience at
renting 1 bought my present farm OF
800 acres, and am now engaged in
mixed farming. I have always had
good crops since / came here, and
some of them have been bumper
crops.

Bothers, Drink Lots of
Water.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a

Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function Of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots Of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with 1ithia, and has
been used for generations to clean
and stimulate cfogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Adv.

Experiment With Wild Geese.

A familiar harbinger of spring in por-
tons of the eastern United States is
the passage northward, flying high
overhead, of honking f1ocks of wild
geese. These Canadian wild geese are
supposed to hatch their young beyond
the Arctic circle, but they migrate to
warmer southern regions to spend the
winter. One Of the most interesting
experiments in changing animals to
new homes is that of a New Zealand
society in introducing these geese to
the southern hemisphere. From be-
ginning a few years ago with II pairs
of BIRDS a flock Of 300 has been devel-
oped, and fresh blood has been lately
added by a new importation Of 10
pairs.
