ALGIERS RICH IN SUNDAYS
Holy Day Observed Three Times a Week by Followers of Different
 Religions.

Although no fewer than three Sun days are observed each week in Al giers, writes a correspondent, only one could in any sense be called "day of rest" For while the prophet enjoined his followers to attend wor' ship on Sunday, he warned them against allowing 1t to become a day of idleness. An Arab or Moor, there fore, will frequently leave his wares unattended in his shop while he goes off to the mosque to pray, and he sell dom has occasion to regret this course. eases of robbery being extremely rare The French Sunday is typically French. The Jew alone makes his Sunday day of rest, his religion for bidding anything save talking on that day. A walk through the Jewish quarter on the Sabbath will carry ones thoughts back many years. The picturesque groups at the street cor ners, in their rich, flowing robes, will recall many an Old Testament story learned in childhood, for the Jew in his oriental garb has very different appearance from the Jew as we know him in the West.

After Ten Years
 EatOnic Proves the Best

s1 say, God bless eatonic," writes Mrs. Della M. Doyen. 'I can truth fully say, after suffering with stomach trouble for ten long years, that have never had anything do me so much good as this one box of eatonic." . We print these grateful words from this dear lady, so that sufferers every where may have hope and little faith-just enough to give eatonic a trial. Why, folks, last year over half a million people used eatonic and found relief.
 This is the secret: Eatonic sim- ply takes up the excess acids, poisons and gases, and carries them right out of the body. Of course, when the cause is removed, the sufferer gets well. Stomach trouble causes about seventy non-organic diseases, so, if you are suffering any kind of misery, not feeling well, go right to your drug gist today and obtain a big box of eatonic; cost is a trifie. Use it and find quick, sure relief.
 Make this test-you will see, and then, if you are not satisfied, your druggist will hand your money back. He does not want one penny unless eatonic p1eases you. Adv.

FARMERS DO WELL
Record Prices Paid Wheat Crow
 CTS of Western Canada.
Will Get Above 40 Gents Over the Fixed Scale Set-WorId Looking to the Dominion for It's
 Grain.

It will be of interest to many read. CTS to learn that their farmer friends In Canada will do so well out of the wheat they grew on western Canada g prairies last year.
 There was a fixed price of $2.15 per bushel paid for their wheat last sea- son.
 Not knowing the price at which it would be possible to market the crop, the Canadian grain board, which or ganiZation handled the whole of the crop last summer, fixed $2.15 as a min imum price for No. 1 wheat, and ar ranged that each farmer should be given certificates for the quantity of wheat he delivered. Tie amount re- ceived over and above the fixed price which was paid to the farmers when selling their wheat was to be divided pro rata at the end of the season, and the holders of these certificates will, therefore, participate in the extra price received according to the quan. tity of wheat sold.
 The latest advices are that the wheat board will pay at least 40 cents a bushel over the fixed rate of $2.15 a bushel for their wheat of last season. This means that about $4O,OOO,OO0 will be distributed among the farmers of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. This sum represents the difference in the price at which the wheat crop was sold and the price that was fixed for last seasons crop.
 Canadian Wheat in Demand.
 A declaration that Canadian wheat would in all probability sell this year at between $3 and $5 per bushel, was made recently before a conference of by Dr. Robert Magill, who was one of a deputation from the Winnipeg grain exchange. Dr. Magill argued in fa- vor of open trading from the aspect of world conditions. He stated that no wheat could be exported from Rus sia owing to internal troubles.
 Roumania would have absolutely none to export, India was prohibiting export, while Australia's acreage would fall from 100000 to 1000, 900. The result would be that Australia would scarcely have enough to feed herself, and there would be absolute ly no wheat for Europe, except from the Argentine and North America.
 Dr. Magill, according to formal an- nouncement, though it would be i'm possible to secure as good a price for the producer by control as by the open market. The United States mar ket was now open, and, according to present prospects, there would be mighty little to spare iron, that quar- ter. The net result would be that Ca- nadian wheat would undoubtedly go to a record figure.-Advertisem

The Westerns Sea.

The Pacific, a calm, cold ocean not much fretted by traffic, adds its curi- ous note of aloofness. It sends forth fogs, but somehow they carry no hint of salt. And in days of sunshine when it sparkles sapphire blue it. seems somehow to eXhale no breath. You never "smell the sea" as by the Allan ties verge, and, though you well know that rotting seaweed gives forth that odor, you miss it on this western shore. The oceans you have known seem playful children, by turns gay and irritable, by comparison with this monstrous, lovely, inhuman sea- Harrison Rhodes in Harper's Maga- zine.

No matter what mother said, father always chose to argue with her. If she were going to town and told him about the proposed trip he would be gin: "But, my dear, I'm sure you should not until"
 One day he had carried through an argument of his usual kind when his ten-year-oId daughter looked up from the book she was reading. "Mother," she giggled, father is your goat. isn't her"
 Mother seemed powdered, but dad laughed. "I guess I am" he agreed. ''She certainly knocks me around"
 "Oh, that wasn't the reason l said that" ten-year-oId demurred. "I said it because you are always putting ill on her so much."

Put to Good Use.

One day my husband invited for mer school chum of his for dinner writes a correspondent. He arrived about four o'clock, but my husband had not yet come home. Our little son Philip was playing around with our guest, who gave him a quarter When it came time to prepare din ner I discovered that l did not have enough potatoes and the only money I had was a ten dollar bill. Fearing to send the little fellow to the store with it, I called him out and told him to go and get the potatoes with his quarter and when daddy came home would give it back to him. Seated later at the dinner table the man playfully pinched Philips cheek, and asked him what he did with his guar ter, to which Philip responded, "Oh mother took it to buy potatoes"

A Valley Forue Kettle.

According to the Carthage Press, Charles Sanders, resident of Carthage, has an iron kettle that has an interesting history. It was used to bake bread for Gen. George Wash fngton and his army during the severe winter at Valley Forge. The kettle was given Mr. Sanders by his mother. It is the heavy iron type that was used for baking before the appearance of ovens and cook stoves. Mrs. William Satterfield used it when she was 1iv- ing at Valley Forge in 1776. It was later given her daughter, who used it until her death, at one hundred and ten years of age, when it was given to Mrs. J. V. Sanders, the moth CT of the present owner.-Kansas City Times.
