TK0LIFKTGARDEN ENGLISHMAN'S FIRST AND SUC­

CESSFUL ATTEMPTS IN MANI­

TOBA—SOIL PRODUCES

STRIKING RESULTS. &-

The Winnipeg (Canada) Free Press • of a few days since contains account of the success that followed the ef­forts of William Knowles, an English­man who located near Winnipeg, Man­itoba. This is but one o£ many let­ters giving experiences of settlers, and should be encouraging to those who are looking about for a new home in which they may better their conditions. The following is a copy of the article referred to:

William Knowles, who cultivates some twelve acres of land just below Middlechurch ferry on east side of the Rod P-'ver has probably as fine a dis­play of horticultural products as any in Manitoba. The whole of his hold­ing is in a high state of cultivation and literally crowded with splendid vegetable specimens, which have for­tunately escaped damage by hail, al­though heavy storms have more than once occurred within a few miles. The potatoes are a wonderful crop, and he expects to raise 1,500 bushels from his patch of 4y2 acres. A half dozen of tubers selected yesterday average more than a pound each. Adjoining the potatoes may be seen a marvelous collection of tomatoes. There are GOO plants, all growing under an enor­mous weight of fruit. One single stock picked yesterday contained eighteen tomatoes and weighed four pounds. This extraordinary example of marvelous growth, together with some of the potatoes were sent to the Free Press office.

The proprietor was the first in town with several specimens, includ­ing green corn. The season has been favorable for onions, and one square patch of nearly an acre is looking re­markably healthy. In addition there are good crops of cabbages, cauliflow­er, turnips, parsnips, carrots, pump­kins, marrows, cucumbers, celery, peas, lettuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral de­partment has not been neglected and a charming display of all the well known blooms were shown, including a specially choice lot of asters.

Mr. Knowles, who gained most of his gardening experience in England, is loud in his praise of Manitoba soil for vegetable raising, and is gratified with the result of his first attempt at extensive horticulture.

TIRED BACKS.

The kidneys have a great work tc do in keeping the blood pure. When

they get out of order it causes backache, headaches, dizziness, languor and distress­ing urinary troubles. Keep the kidneys well and all these sufferings will be saved you. Mrs. S. A. Moore, proprietor of a restaurant at Wa-terville. Mo., says:

"Before using Doan's Kidney Pills 1 suffered everything from kidney trr bles for a year and a half. I had p in the back and head, and almost cc tinuous in the loins and felt weary a' the time. A few doses of Doan's Kit' ney Pills brought great relief, and kept on taking them until in a shoi time I was cured. T think Doan' Kidney Pills are wonderful."

"See here," said the lady, "you told me that work would only cost me $13, and here you've sent in a bill for $14."

"Yes'm," replied the carpenter; "you see, when I came to think the thing over afterward I was afraid maybe you'd be superstitious about that 13."

"After my granddaughter of about ! 6even years had been cured of the

measles, she was attacked about a fornight later by a furious itching and

, painful eruption all over her body, : especially the upper part of it, forming

watery and bleeding sores, especially under the arms, of considerable size.

; She differed a great deal g.nd for three ! weeks we nursed her every night,

using all the remedies we could think of. Nothing would help. We tried the

i Cuticura Remedies and after twenty-; four hours we noted considerable im-• provement, and after using only one complete set of the Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days the little one, much to our joy, had been entirely cured, and has been well for a long time.

MONTANA NEWS CALLS VICTIMS FOOLS.

Man Passes Money Issued by Long-de> funct Bank.

G. Wade is confined in the county Jail at Red Lodge on the charge of having passed a number of-$5 and $20 bills of the Merchants and Planters' Bank of Georgia, an institution long since defunct, cd a number of business men of Belfry, a small town in Carbon county. Wade acknowledged that he passed the worthless bills, but claims that the only charge he can be held on !r that of obtaining money under false pretenses as the bills were not coun­terfeit and were worth their face value before the war.

"Anyway," he remarked to Sheriff Bachelder "a man's a d—d fool who would take that stuff for genuine mon­ey, and I should not be punished for skinning a fool."

An alleged pal of Wade's, a cripple giving the name of R. C. Gilbraith, was arrested at Bear Creek. Gilbraith had on his person a letter from a Chi­cago firm, acknowledging a remittance from him of $10 in payment for a ship­ment of worthless bills.

Wade was camped on a small island about a mile and a half from Belfry and when the officers searched his camping place they unearthed evi­dence which led them to believe that Wade had planned to rob the bank at Belfry. He had a quantity of giant powder and nitroglycerin stored away, a fuse and a pair of soft slippers, such as burglars use.

"Well, you don't need one," replied the Denver man seriously.

Pure Food. The pure food law does not prohibit

the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking Powders because Cream of Tartar is as pure as Alum—but it is a well known fact that a baking powder in which Alum is used instead of Cream of Tartar is less injurious. Dr. Herman Reinbold, the expert German chemist, in a recent official report concerning Baking Powders, declares that a pure Alum baking powder is better and less injurious than the so-called Cream of Tartar powders, lie says that if the quantity of alum contained in a suf-flcieut quantity of baking powder for a batch of bread or cakes for an ordi­nary family, be concentrated to one mouthful of food, and taken into the stomach of any one person, no matter how delicate, it could do no harm.

Trail Blazers Will Have Old Stage Stage Coach in Street Parade.

Preparations for the entertainment of visitors who will gather in Billings to attend the meeting of the pioneers of Montana are practically completed, and it is evident that the old trail blazers will be shown a good time.

One of the features of the monster parade will be the resurrection of the. old street car, which twenty-five years ago made the trip between the then infant city of Billings and the town of Coulson, one mile east, when the lat­ter was in its palmiest days. The an­tique car will be mounted on wheels and driven by Police Magistrate Mann, who officiated as conductor, superin­tendent and board of directors of the railway line a quarter of a century ago

Another feature will be reproduced typical old stage coacli, drawn by a six-horse team and driven by Jean Decker, erstwhile editor of the Billings Daily Gazette, who drove the stage out. of Deadwood before the advent of the steam horse and the steel rails in that city. A big barbecue of elks' meat and a grand reception, the latter at the Billings club, also are scheduled. From the number of letters being re­ceived by the secretary asking that hotel reservations be made, it is evi­dent that the attendance will be a rec­ord breaker.

Women Avoid Operations

ROSE MOORE

When a woman suffering from female trouble is told that an oper­ation is nwessary, it, of course, frightens her.

The very thought of the hospital, the operating table and the knife strikes terror to her heart.

It is quite true that these troub­les may reach a stage where an ope­ration is the only resource, but a great, many women have been en red hv Bydia E. Pinlthaui's Vegetable Compound a.fter .an operation has been decided upon as the only cu»e. I'lie strongest and most grateful statements possible to make come from women who by taking

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs, have escaped serious operations,, as evidenced by Miss Iio^e Moore'sense. of 307 \V. 26th St., N.Y. She writes:-

Dear Mrs. Tinkham:-"Lydia K. l'inkliam's Vegetable Compound has cured me of the very worst, form of female trouble and 1 wish to express to you my deepest gratitude. I suffered intensely for two years so that I was unable to attend to my duties and was a burden to my family.^ I doctored and doctored with only temporary relief and constantly objecting to an operation which I was advised to undergo. 1 deeided to try Lydia 15. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ; it cured me of the terrible trouble and 1 am now in better health than 1 have been for many years."

This and other such eases should encourage every woman to try Ly­dia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound before shesubmit« loan operation. Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation to Women

Women suffering from any form of female w.eukuesH are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. l'inldiam, at Lyuu, Mass. From the symptoms given, the trouble may be located and the quickest and surest wav of recovery advised.

"And why wouldn't you let him go, Nora?"

Montana Pioneer Has Guests Imper­sonate Braves and Squaws.

Forty years ago this month "Uncle George Town of Bridger arrived in Montana, landing at Fort Buford from a Missouri river steamboat. Last week he celebrated his fortieth anniversary In Montana and his sixtieth birthday by a unique party, consisting of a campfire and Indian powwow.

The male guests were atttired as In­dian chiefs, bucks and "squaw men," and the women as squaws, and the evening was passed in imitation of the customs of the aborigines. One fea­ture of the occasion was an Indian war

I dance, performed by Mr. Town, who is ' one of the heaviest men In Montana | and who impersonated "Chief Big

Belt" in the dance. Despite his fi:rt.y years in Montana,

or perhaps because of them, Mr. Town Is still hale and hearty. He helped build the first house in Red Lodge and stuck the first pick In the coal mines at Bridger.
