Dam Out the Cold

Canada freezes on her east coast
and has but a few weeks of winter
on her west coast because her Allan
tic shore is washed bv a cold, current
and her Pacific shore by warm one.
England is farther north than Cana
dian Atlantic seaports but her climate
is mlder in winter because of a wal n
current. 1t is proposed now to dam
Belle Isle straits between Newfound-
land and Labrador to the entrance of
the icy Arctic current. This, it is
claimed, will make Montreal an all
year port and perhaps change the Eng
lish climate. In fact no one knows
quite what would be the climatic re-
actions if this dam were erected-at
cost of only seventy million dollars,
1t Is estimated. Perhaps some day
countries will fight over dams. Water
levels and tariffs seem to be the only
seriously disturbing elements between
Canada and the United States.-Mon-

HALF POPULATION IN CITIES
War Caused Men to Leave.
Rural districts.

By reason of the restrictions placed
upon immigration it makes it neces-
sary for us to look to our overcrotd
ed cities for men to till our old and
new farms. These men cannot be in
duced to leave their old life unless
there is present the community life
which, as a city dweller, they enjoy.
One of the results of the World
war was the exodus of men from the
soil to the city, and for the first time
in the history of our country the 1920
census revealed the fact that more
than half the total population was
resident in cities. Within the last
year or so. however, there has been
some indication of a back to the
soil' movement.
The total land area OF our country
is 1903 million acres, of which about
One-half is in farms, but of this farm
area only about one-eighth is what is
known as improved farm land. About
1000 million acres of our land area
may be classed as untitled for profit

reasons, insufficient rainfall, stony

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have The disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & CO., Binghamton, N Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Advertisemen
