ANOTHER WESTERN RECORD. The Way in Which a Swan River Far mer Became Wealthy. ‘ Swan River, Manitoba, Nov. 21, 1906.4 Two weeks ago we gave an account of the prosperity of a farmer in West- ern Canada, and this week we repro duce another. “I have been asked regarding this year’s work on my farm, and I here- with willingly submit the following statement: “Three years ago I purchased an improved farm of 186 acres on Sec- tion 9, Township 36, Range 27 west of the First Meridian—two miles from the town of Swan River. I plowed and cropped 122% acres of land during this year (1906), 80 acres in wheat, 30 acres in oats, and 12% acres in barley. “The cost of putting in and taking off this crop this season is as follows: Cash paid for blue stone..... $ 1.50 Cash paid for binder twine 39.00 Cash paid for hired help.. 125.00 Cash paid for threshing... 175.00 fs) se Sar SAA eer AEE INE $ 340.00 “Receipts for the year as follows— 80 acres of wheat (yielded 30 bushels per acre)—Total. .2,400 bu. | 30 acres of oats (yielded 46 bushels per acre)—Total..1,200 “ 1 stack of oats in sheaf..... 200 “ 12% acres barley (48 bu. per acre) «-- 600 “ Crop potatoes 300 * Hay, tons « yaB: 1,168 bu. wheat at 62c....... $ 724.16 1,232 bu. wheat in granary at C26. oie encnceie cieinvee seeeee 763.84 300 bu. barley at 35c........ 105.00 300 bu. barley in granary at B50... nn-soigp een oemaniontonse + 105.00 1,200 bu. oats in granary at 25¢ +--+ 300.00 100 bu. potatoes at 30c 2 30.00 200 bu. potatoes in root house Bt BOOS oe So aren ainepemiteen 60.00 1 stack of oats in sheaf for feed 50.00 15 tons o: 00. 0200 45.00 Garden roots and vegetables. 30.00 Total + + $2,213.00 Cost of above, besides my own labor ......... sepeese 340.50 Balance ++ $1,872.50 I have in all, 125 acres ready for crop next year, including 10 acres cleared and broken this season.

W. H. SIMMONS, 1119 E. 8th St., Kansas City, Mo., member of the National Annuity Association, writes : “My health was excellent until about a year ago, when I had a complete col- lapse from overdoing socially, not get- ting the proper rest, and too many late suppers. My stomach was in a dread- ful condition, and my nerves all un- strung. “I was advised by a friend to try Pe- runa, and eventually I bought a bottle. I took it and then another, and kept using it for three months. “At the end of that time my health was restored,-my nerves no longer troubled me, and I felt myself once more and able to assume my _ social position. I certainly feel that Peruna is deserving of praise.”” There are many reasons why society women break down, why their nervous systems fail, why they have systemic or pelvic catarrh. Indeed, they are espe- cially liable to these ailménts. No won- der they require the protection of Peru- na. Itis their shield and safeguard. A Slight Loss. Giving an account of the assassina- tion of a certain M. Durand, the re- porter proceeded thus: “The murderer was evidently “in search of money, but most fortunately M. Durand had lodged all his funds the day before in the bank, so at that, after all, he lost nothing but his life.” Flies On It.

A New Haven man was praising the late Judge David Torrence of Derby, Conn, “Judge Torrence,” he said, “uttered many an epigram from the bench. In a case concerning a noise nuisance a scientist was once testifying before him about the speed of sound. “‘Sound,’ said the man, ‘travels at the rate of 400 yards a second.’ “*AN] sound?’ asked Judge Torrence. “<All,” replied the scientist. “The judge smiled. “‘’m sure you’re wrong,’ he said. ‘I have noticed a great difference be- tween the speed of certain kinds of sound. Thus, slander travels at the rate of quite 1,000 yards a second; flattery, 500 yards, while truth makes only a few feet a second, and, slow as its progress is, truth often fails to reach the goal, no matter how short the distance.’ ” ROMANTIC DEVONSHIRE. The Land Made Famous by Philpotts’ Novels. Philpotts has made us familiar with romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating novels, “The River,” “Children of the Mist,” etc. The characters are very human; the people there drink coffee with the same results as elsewhere. A writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill, Bideford, North Devon, states: “For 30 years I drank coffee for breakfast and dinner but some 5 years ago I found that it was producing indi- gestion and heart-burn, and was mak- ing me restless at night. These symp- toms were followed by brain fag and a sluggish mental condition. “When I realized this, I made up my mind to quit drinking coffee and having read of Postum, I concluded to try it. I had it carefully made, accord- ing to directions, and found to my agreeable surprise at the end of a week, that I no longer suffered from either indigestion, heart-burn, or brain fag, and that I could drink it at night and secure restful and’ refreshing sleep. “Since that time we have entirely discontinued the use of the old kind of coffee, growing fonder and fonder of Postum as time goes on. My digestive organs certainly do their work much better now than before, a result due to Postum Food Coffee, I am satisfied.} ” “As a table beverage we find (for all the members of my family use it) that when properly made it is most refresh- ing and agreeable, of delicious flavor and aroma. Vigilance is, however, necessary to secure this, for unless the} servants are watched they are likely to neglect the thorough boiling which it must have in order to extract the goodness from the cereal.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

In looking up some mining claims in Mexico I found myself making inquir- ies of a native named Don Estanso. His greeting was anything but cordial and he andswered my queries in 1% way that gave me no information. I was rather surprised at this and a few days later I expressed myself so to @ friend of the don’s. He couldn’t see through it, but said he would find out why things were thus. In a couple of weeks he came to me and said: “Senor, I now know why Don Estan- so gave you such coldness.” “Well?” “A year ago he was in the mine busi- ness with one of your countrymen. At that time he was in love with Ameri- cans. Together they did business— much business. It was pleasant b’ tween them. They were like sisters. If one said so then the other said so. Nothing was the trouble for a long, long time.” rs “And then there was trouble, eh? “There was. My good and sincere friend Don Estanso he saw his chance.” “Chance for what?” “To beat the American out of thou- sands of dollars—many thousands. He improved that chance and did beat him.” “And is that why he is down on Americans now?” “Ah, no. When your compatriot had been beaten he went to the courts. He said it was a swindle. He called for justice.” “And did he get it?” “Not at all, but what did he do? In- stead of leaving the case to the judge, whom my friend could have pribed for $5,000, he demanded a jury, and it cost my friend four times that sum to keep what he had swindled. It was very bad policy—very bad. It gives my countrymen the idea that you will not give us what you call a square deal.”— Baltimore American. PROGRESS IN SOUTH AFRICA. Four Railroads Built or Projected in a Portuguese Province. The development of Angola, a Por tuguese possession in South Africa, is the subject of an optimistic report by British Consul Mackie. The total values of exports and imports last year were $13,053,412, as against $14,- 288,530 in 1904. There are now four railways in ex- istence or contemplated. The Loanda- Ambacca, or Royal Trans-African rail- way, is 225 miles in length, and be- longs to a company, but an extension of about 100 miles to Malange is be- ing built by the government. The Benguella-Katanga line, the principal railway enterprise, is being construct- el by English capitalists, and will run 1,200 miles in the heart of Africa till it joins the cape to Cairo system, and propably by the shortness of the route eapture much of the business to Northern Rhodesia that now goes over Central African lines. ‘The length open to traffic is twen- ty-three miles, and construction of the remainder is being steadily pushed forward. The Mossamedes- Chella line is another state road, in- tended at first to be twenty-eight miles in length, in order to supply the Plan Alto tableland with transporta- tion facilities, but liable to future ex- tension. Another railway project, which so far has only been officially approved, is a line in St. Thome, which is to unite the capital of the island with the cocoa and coffee plan- tations. HOW LO GOVERNS HIMSELF. Each Tribe Has a Constitution and Maintains Good Schools. “The idea which seems to be preva- lent in the East that the Indians of the Indian territory still live in tepees and tents and go about naked should be relegated to the rear with that antiquated idea that all men of the West are wild and woolly,” said Judge J. H. Sheperd of MacAlester, La “Tt is true that some of the Indians live in shacks, but, as a rule, they have comfortable homes, many of them living in mansions, and they, live as white people do. The aver- age Indian, a member of one of the five civilized tribes, is equal to the average white person in ‘the territory in education. They have their own schools. where their children learn to read from books printed in their own language and they have newspapers. “They have their own forms of gov- ernment, and you may be surprised to know that each tribe has a consti- tution, and has had for sixty years. It is patterned after the constitution of the United States. They also have bodies which correspond to our legis- lative, judicial and executive branch- es, and they hold elections. “The Cherokee Indian: is industrious and successful as a farmer, but the Choctaws and Chickasaws, who are better provided for in the way of lands, prefer to employ white men to till the soil for them.” Jokelet. “Grandpa, what’s the difference be- tween rehumatism and gout?” asked Willie, who knew his granfather was a’sufferer from both these painful dis- eases. “Well, sonny,” answered grandpa, “you put your thumb in a vice and turn it till you can’t jbear the pain any longer and that’s like rheumatism. Then give the vice a couple of extra turns and you'll get a faint inkling of what gout is.” And Willie knew his grandfather was suffering from gout that day. \ In a Pinch, Use ALLEN’S FOOT-EASE.

In Torments with Terrible Sores on, Face and Body—Tore at Flesh —Cured by Cuticura. “My little son, when about a year | and a half old began to have sores! come out on his face. They began to! come on his arms, then on other parts | of his body, and then one came on his | chest, worse than the others. At the | end of about a year and a half of suf- | fering he grew so bad I had to tie his! hands in cloths at night to keep him | from scratching the sores and tearing | the flesh. He got to be a mere skele- | ton and was hardly able to walk. I} sent to the drug store.and got a cake | of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since, and only for the Cuticura Rem- edies ‘my precious child would have died from these terrible sores.

DOUGLAS, Brockiou,Mace ~J The General Condemnation of So-Called Patent or Secret Medicines of an injurious character, which indulge in extravagant and unfounded pretensions to cure all manner of ills, and the National Legislation Enacted to Restrict Their Sale have established more clearly than could have been accomplished in any other way The Value and Importance of Ethical Remedies. Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially and are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of Known Excellence and Quality and of Known Component Parts. To gain the full confidence of the Well-Informed of the world and the approval of the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to and approved by them, and, therefore, the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many years past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof. The per- fect purity and uniformity of product which they demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical character are assured by the California Fig Syrup Company’s original method of manufacture, y known to the Company only. ! There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product of \ the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family. laxatives \ that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts, without disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without having to \\ increase the quantity from time to time. This valuable remedy has been jong and favorably known under the name of fl) : Syrup of Figs, and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of ; family ‘laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, wé have .adopted the more elaborate mame of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of ‘Semna, as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be calied for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs; and to get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.— plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs, or by the full name, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company, and the same heretofore known by the name, Syrup of Figs, which has given satisfaction to millions.
