Gout, Rheumatism, In flammation and Congestion of tho Kid neys and all kindred complaints."

From Castlebar, County Mayo, thore comes a story of the death of James Conway, a farmer, who attained the age of 113 years. Tho father ' of Jamea Conway did not die so young, for his years were six score and six that is, 120. The grandfather's final age was 130 years. These statistics are the less unlikely because in the same county an old man died not long ago who was proved to have at tained the age pi at least 120 years. James Conway remembered the French invasion in 1798, which was led by Geueral -Humbert, who won the battle known as "The Races of Castlebar." He Abolishes "Presenting Arms." The French minister of war, Gen eral Andre, Is one of the best abused men in France because of his recently announced purpose to promote equal ity In the ranks of the army. To fur ther this object he has recently abol ished the custom of "presenting arms" as a "mark of respect. He is accused of fostering socialism in the French ranks and of deliberately following out a policy of religious and political persecution. He condemned to two years hard service In the ranks sixty Polytechnic students who rebelled against the severity of an examina tion. General Andre is a great favor ite with the common soldiers. He be gan life in the army as a lieutanant in the imperial guard. ON A RANCH. Woman Found the Food That Fitted Her. A newspaper woman went out to a Colorado ranch to rest and recuperate and her experience with the food probably Is worth recounting. "The woman at the ranch was pre eminently the worst housekeeper I have ever known poor soul, end poor me! "I simply had to have food good and plenty of It, for I had broken down from overwork and was so weak I could not sit up over one hour at a time. I knew I could not got well un less I secured food I could easily di gest and that would supply the great est amount ot nourishment. "Ono day I obtained permission to go through the pantry and see what I could find. Among other things I came across a package of Grape-Nuts which I had heard of but never tried. I read the description ou the package and become doeply Interested, so then and there I got a saucer and some cream and tried the famous food. "It tasted delicious to me and seemed to freshen and strengthen me greatly so I stipulated that Grape Nuts and cream be provided each day instead of other food, and 1 literally lived on Grape-Nuts and cream for two or three months. "If you could have seen how fast I got well It would have pleased and surprised you. I am now perfectly -well and strong again and know ex actly how I got well and that was on Grape-Nuts that furnished me a pow erful food I could digest aud make use of. "It seems to me no brain worker can afford to overlook Grape-Nuts after my experience." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Gat the miniature book, "The Road j to WellYllIe" in each pkg. WESTERN CANADA'S RESOURCED. Farming Very Successful. By Western or Northwest Canada la usually meant the great agricultural country west of Ontario, and north ot Minnesota, North Dakota, and Mon tana. Part of it Is agricultural prairie, treeless In placeB, park like in others, part Is genulno plains, woll adapted to cattle ranches; part requires Irriga tion for successful Ullage, most of It does not. Tho political divisions of. this region are tho Province of Mani toba and the territorial district of As slnibola, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Athabaska. At present, however, the latter is too remoto for immediate practical purposes. Tho general character of the soil ot Western Canada Is a rich, black, clay loam with a clay subsoil. Such a soil Is particularly rich In food for tho wheat plant. The subsoil Js a clay, which retains the winter frost "until it is thawed out by the warm rays of tho sun and drawn upward to stimu late the growth of the young wheat, bo that even in dry seasons wheat is a good crop. The clay soil also retalnn the heat of the sun later In tho sum mer and assists in the early ripening; of the grain. It is claimod that cul tivation has the effect of increasing' the temperature of tho soil several degrees, as woll as the air above it. Western Canada climate is good cold in winter, hot In summer, but with cool nights. Violent storms oC any kind are rare. The rainfall is not heavy. It varies with places, but aver ages about 17 inches. It falls usually; at the time the growing crops need it.' The Department of the Interior, Ot tawa, Canada, has agents established at. different points throughout tho United States who will be pleased to forward an Atlas of Western Canada and give such other information as to railway rate, etc., as may bo required. That agriculture In Western Canada pays Is shown by the number of testi monials given by farmers. The fol lowing is an extract made from a lot tor from a farmer near Moose Jaw: "At the present time I own sixteen hundred acres ot land, fifty horses and a large pasture fenced containing a thousand acres. Theso horses run out all winter and come in in the spring quite fat. A man with money Judi ciously expended will mnke a compe tence very shortly. I consider in tho last six years the increase in tho value of my land has netted mo forty thousand dollars." Tho girl who has a real social posi tion usually is tho most unassuming.
