Lived 113 Years
From Castlebar County Mayo there
comes a story of the death of James
Louway a farmer who attained the
age of 113 years The father of
Jamej Conway did not die so young
or his years were six score and six
that is 120 The grandfathers 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 of at least 120 years
lames Conway remembered the
French invasion in 1798 which was
ed by General Humbert who won
he 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
her 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
jut 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

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 and 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 get well un
less I secured food I could easily di
gest and that would supply the great
est amount of nourishment
One 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 on the package
and become deeply 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 j
greatly so I stipulated that Grape-
Nuts and cream be provided each day
instead of other food and I literally i
lived on Grape Nuts and cream for j
two or three months
If you could have seen how fast I
got well it would have pleased and
surprised you I am now perlectly
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 and make use
of
It seems to me no brain worker
can afford to overlook Grape Nuts

practical purposes-
The general character of the soit of
Western Canada is a rich black clay
loam with a clay subsoil Such a soil
is particularly rich In food for the
wheat plant The subsoil is a clay
which retains the winter frost until it
Is thawed out by the warm rays of
the sun and drawn upward to stimu
late the growth of the young wheat so
that even in dry seasons wheat Is a
good crop The clay soil also retains
the heat of the sun later in the sum
mer and assists in the early ripening
of the grain It is claimed that
tivation has the effect of Increasing
the temperature of the soil several
degrees as well as the air above it
Western Canada climate is good
cold in winter hot in summer but
with cool nights Violent storms of
any kind are rare The rainfall Is not
heavy It varies with places but aver
ages about 17 inches It falls usually
