No stronger or better evidence can be given of the merits of a country than tha t which comes from the testi­mony of the settler who has deter­mined to succeed. This Is why we reproduce the following letter, which ■peaks for itself. These people were In­duced to go to W estern Canuda through the solicitation of a Canadian Government agent, who secured for them the low railway rates. “Carniangay, Alta., Canada, 12-15-'08.

“Mr. C. J. Broughton, Canadian Gov­ernment Agency, 133 Adams Street, Chicago: We had audacity enough to tackle the proposition of buying four sections of land in Southern Alberta, thirty miles east of Clairsholm and heading up on the Little Bow, and our two boys each got a homestead ad­joining. We fenced three sections and the two homesteads, and built a house, barn, corrals and granary, and have since enlarged some of these build­ings. We have broken 200 acres of land, which has been sowed to oats and wheat. During the severe winter of two years ago the winter wheat killed out somewhat, and our crop yielded only ten bushels to the acre, but the spring wheat went 24 bushels to the acre. In this country we must be prepared for storms and cold, at times 20 to 30 below zero, yet on the whole the winters are mild; and while there are exceptional crops, it is fair to say th a t the average farm er can depend on having a yield in average years of from 20 to 25 bushels to the acre fop spring w h e a t ; and w inter wheat in our immediate neighborhood yields from 25 to 30 bushels to the acre on the average.

We have now quite a bunch of horses, over 50 in all, about 350 sheep, af te r having sold 140 for mutton this fall. We have 20 head of pure bred registered Shropshire, which are worth $20 each. The average price received for mutton sheep was $5.00 and a little over. Pork brings 5 and 6 cents a pound. W e have about 30 head of cattle on our ranch now, and last winter they picked their en­tire living from our pasture, running to the straw stacks for shelter at night.

"The increase of land values has been extraordinary. Our land four years ago cost us a l i t tle less than $6.00 an acre. We have sold one sec­tion for $15.00, but we would not sell any more for less than $25.00 per acre, as we expect the railroad within four miles of our ranch within the next IS months. Southern Alberta of W est­ern Canada is a mighty good country for any m anor woman wholovesoutdoor life, and who wants to get good re­tu rns tc f their labor and investment.

"We have been pleased with our trea tm ent from the Canadian Govern­ment. and can heartily commend South­ern Alberta as a splendid country in which to locate.

"Yours very truly,(Signed)

Carson, Nev.—The assembly of the Nevada legislature accepted the anti- Japanese resolution directed to the California legislature, after it had been so amended that all reference to President Roosevelt had been elim­inated. The resolution will undoubted­ly be passed by the senate as it stands.

It was given out that Gov. Dicker- son opposed the m easure in its origin­al form. While he was credited with favoring the exclusion portion of the measure, he did not approve of the language of the resolution. Assembly­man Dodge, the Republican leader in the house, s tated openly that lie in­tended to do all in his power to defeat the measure. All of the Republican members of the senate made the same sta tement.

Speaker Giffen, who introduced the m easure has also introduced a hill d e ­signed to prevent aliens from holding lands in the state. Section 1 reads:

"Any non-resident aliens, except subjects of the Japanese and Chinese empire, may take, hold and enjoy any real property or in te rests lands in Nevada, and upon the same te rm s a-id conditions as any o ther person."

This m easure is in the hands of the judiciary committee.

Assemblyman Dodge introduced a resolution asking tha t a fleet of war­ships he maintained in Pacific waters, as "citizens of Asiatic countries with whom we cannot mingle on term s con­ducive to our interests are rapidly be­coming a menace to our peace and prosperity, mainly from the want of proper naval protection."

Tokyo.—Speaking before the lower house of the diet Tuesday, Foreign Minister Konrara outlined the foreign policies of Japan in a carefully worded speech delivered before a full and a t ten t ive house. Tin- opening sentence gave the key-note of the en ­tire speech, when Count Konnira said:

"The foreign policy of thiss empire should have as an object tho main­tenance of peace and tile development of national resources."

lie added: "The friendship of Japan ami the I 'nited S ta tes is traditional, and it is absolutely essential that built maintain unimpaired those sen ti­m ents of amity.”

G e n e r a tin g S e l l in g O p tim is mMr. Salesman has the dyspepsia.

Certainly a man has a right to have his own dyspepsia if he wants to—he pays the price for it, and a heavy one, a t t h a t

Well no, not exactly; a sa lesm an be­longs to the public. I f 'ho can get the dyspepsia and not make the public help him pay for it has has the a rgu­ment on his side. The trouble is, in spite of dictionaries, dyspepsia be­longs not to the digestion alone, but also to the temper, it colors the mental outlook blue.

When the mind has been thoroughly steeped in blueing it is not well to air it in public.

The mind must be present in selling If the sa lesperson really wishes to make a record. Of course, a record is sometimes forced upon a sales person In spite of himself, but such luck does not become epidemic.

In brief, dyspepsia pinches the tem ­per of the seller—and what is more disastrous to good selling than a nipped temper?

Occasionally the customer th inks he has a r ight to have the dyspepsia, too; and I don’t know but tha t he has this r igh t in so far as the store is con­cerned. He does not belong to the store, but the store belongs to him. When dyspepsia meets dyspepsia look out for tha t sales-record. Then does the thing that is crying to be sold hold its breath to see who comes out on top.

Did you. Mr. Salesman, ever realize how it concerns your duty to the pub­lic to chew your food so that chunks of it do not make your digestive ap ­para tus go on a s tr ike? Nature has given you wonderful machines to pre-

1 pare the food so tha t it will feed the various parts of the body with good red blood. She asks you not to make it too hard for these machines by neg­lecting to use t h e mill in your mouth that is there for grinding the food.

The teeth are the hardest m ateria ls In the body and are meant to do good service before the food reaches those organs which you do not have

Birmingham, Ala.—Seventeen men are dead as a result of tin explosion in the No. 2 Short Creek mines of the Birmingham Coal & Iron Company Tuesday morning. Five of the dead are while and 12 are negroes.

Ttie explosion is thought to have been caused hv a windy shot. The mines a re about ten miles west of Ensley. on the Birmingham Southern railroad, and are difficult of access. Tlte bodies were taken front the mines and the rooms and passages were cleared. The mine itself is practically uninjured. Tile mine was running on short force or the death list would have probably been much larger.

to

bother about directing: the stomach, the liver, the pancreas, the spleen, all take care of themselves If you only do not Impede them.

The one thing tha t does impede them is to throw down a lot of food without tear ing it up and mixing it into a pulp in the mouth. They make it mighty uncomfortable for you in consequence if you don't.

Again, do you realize tha t you are surrounded with air— that this air is a good thing for you to breathe both day and night? One would think it was poison from the way people cramp their chests to avoid It—they take such lit tle stingy gasps of It.

Air is needed in the body, else we would not have been born with a mag­nificent pair of bellows—the lungs— with which to take it in. Do you ima­gine any part of us was made for fun? Both the Inside of the body and the outside were m eant to be well aired, and unless they are well aired beware of good-nature and continuous optimism, so necessary to selling goods week in and week out.

A big, generous breath, besides sup­plying air to purify, sets muscles in motion tha t give natural exercise to those digestive organs which cause us so much trouble. This exercise helps them in their own s trenuous activity of d igesting an underdone potato and an overdone beefsteak. *

Do be generous with yourself in breathing. Air costs nothing but ef­fort. and tha t only at first, for af te r a time you would no more do without splendid deep brea th ing than you would do without washing your face.

Out of doors and iu s t ree t cars count seven, the magic number, while you are inhaling, and feel your trunk and chest expand as if it were a bal­loon. Then hold your breath to the count of three, and count seven while you brea the out. You know you are not b rea th ing out the same air you have breathed in. That air lias been eagerly absorbed by yourself to help in the making of rich, rod blood. You are b rea th ing out impurities such as,

If retained, give yon a headache thatla often converted Into a lost sale.

You excuse yourself to yourself by saying that you have a headache, when what you really have Is poison be­cause of your l&alness In not Inhaling fresh a ir and breath ing out un-fresh air.

Breathe the same way behind the counter. Don't m ake excuse tha t the air is not fresh. I t Is better to keep our breath ing machine active with half-pure air than to shut it off with only a miserly bit of exercise.

Remember also tha t the chest is the box in which the lungs are kept. If you squeeze It In through a bad s tand­ing position, rounding the shoulders, the air cannot get Into the body.

W hen you Inhale, lift your head up as if you were not ashamed of living. Hold it well up a t the crown. Then it does not drag down on the lung-box. And, by the way, when you are through exhaling, keep it tha t way. Look the whole world ig the face with a direct look. This pulls up the muscles of the chest.

Always hold the chest well up and forward, as if you were ready to move I instantly. This lifts i t so the air can l get into the space beneath. Now you 1 are ready to breathe. .

If your breath ing stopped suddenly < you would lose your job, wouldn’t you? Then it is equally true tha t if you breathe little you are less capable of j holding your job. if you breathe much, you are capable of holding it; for the body is necessary in selling goods. You can 't bring your mind into your departm ent without it. And for the best selling, your body must be all there and not in part.

You are horn in air, you live in air, you move about in it and would step* down and out without it.

Then, all together, one, two, three, breathe.

Cold and La GrippeMr. C. Happy, Hardin, Hay Co., Mo.,

writes: “1 can safely recommend Pe­runa as a remedy th a t will cure all ca­tarrhal troubles.

“ I t was of g rea t benefit to me, as it cured me of ca tarrh of the throat, and I took a very bad cold and had la grippe last February. I t settled in my throa t and lungs. I took three bottles of Peruna and I t cured me.

“ I highly recommend i t to all who are sick, and I ain glad to add my en­dorsement to th a t of others.”

Pe-ru-na lor ColdsMr. L. Clifford Figg, J r . , 2929 East

F. A. Rlppy, Depot Are., Gallatin, Term., says: “Fifteen years ago kid­

ney disease attacked me. The pain In my back was so agoniz­ing I finally had to give up work. Then came tarrlble attacks of gravel with acute pain and passages of blood. In all I passed 25 stones, some as large as a

bean. Nine years of this ran me down to a state of continual weakness, and I thought I nev-r would be better un­til I began using Doan’s Kidney Pills. The Improvement was rapid, and since using four boxes I am cured and have never had any return of the trouble.”

District Attorney Heney of San Francisco, a short time after his wounding, discussed with a reporter at his bedside one of his statements about the San Francisco boodlers.

“They expect me to retract that statement, do they?” he said, grimly. “Well, If I did retract It, my retraction would be like the Tombstone editor's.

"He, you know, printed a story to the effect that a rival editor's father had served 37 years In Jail. Pressure was brought to bear on him, and finally he agreed to retract that statement. In his retraction he said:

“ ‘We find that we were mistaken when we said In last week's Usue that the Clarion editor’s papa had passed 37 summers In the penitentiary. All ef­forts of friends to have his sentence commuted to life Imprisonment failed, and the old man, as a matter of fact, was hung.’ ”

Many dally habits, particularly of eating and drinking, are formed by fol­lowing our elders.

In this way 111 health Is often fas­tened upon children. A Ga. lady says:

“I had been allowed to drink coffee ever since I could remember, hut even as a child I had a weak stomach, which frequently refused to retain food.

“The taste of coffee was In my mouth all the time and was, as I found out later, the causo of the stomach re­belling against food.

“I now see that It was only from fol­lowing the example of my elders that I formed and continued the miserable habit of drinking coffee. My digestion remained poor, nerves unstrung, fre­quent headache, and yet I did not sus­pect the true cause.

"Another trouble was a bad, muddy complexion for which I spent time and money for creams, massaging, etc., without any results.

“After I was married I was asked to try Postum, and would you believe It, I, an old coffee toper, took to Postum from the very first. We made It right —according to directions on the pkg., and It had a most delicate flavor, and I a t once quit coffee, with the happiest results.

“I now have a perfectly clear, smooth skin, fine digestion and haven't had a headache In over two years.”

S a e & t i o H /“ Do you know of any woman who ever received any

benefit from taking Lydia E . Pinkham’s Vegetable Com­pound? ”

If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in this country where women cannot be found who have been restored to health by this famous old remedv, made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs.

During the past 30 years we have published thousands of letters from these grateful women who have been cured by Lydia EL Pinkham ’s V egetable Com pound, and never in all that time have we published a testimonial without the writer’s special permission. Never have we knowingly published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine. Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts that this is a true and honest statement of a woman’s experi­ence with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound write and ask her.

Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely not to gi-'e such a medicine as this a trial. W hy should it not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.

Sloan’s Liniment is the best remedy for sprainsand bruises.

It quiets the pain at once, and can be applied to the tenderest part without hurting because it doesn’t need to be rubbed — all you have to do is to lay it on lightly. It is a powerful preparation and penetrates instantly — relieves any inflammation and congestion, and reduces the swelling.

Sloan’sLiniment

is an excellent antiseptic and germ killer — heals cuts, burns, wounds and contusions, and will draw the poison from sting of poisonous insects.

Price, 25o., 50c., and $1.00.

HAVE YO U G O T CATARRH?If so why don’t you get cured? Do you know tha t catarrh

destroys your hearing, sense of smell, makes your eyes pain

and ache, also injures the sight, causes your head to ache,

diseases your throat, bronchial tubes anti lungs and often

terminates in consumption. Catarrh diseases your stomach, liver, kidneys, bladder and bowels. Cold weather

will aggravate ttiese conditions. Now is tlife time to get your catarrh cured by Croziero, the Spanish Specialist.

Bead my special syptoms of catarrh. I f you want further

information about this most loathsome disease consult me

and 1 will tell you all about CAUSE, E F F E C T and CURE.

Don't allow some doctor to fleece you out of your money by

giving you local treatments. You positively cannot cure

catarrh in any of its forms in this way. Catarrh is a con­

stitutional defect anti requires proper BLOOD treatment

to a tta in permanent results. Healthy BLOOD to you, my

catarrh friend, means a cure.
