Canadian Farmers Turn Winter
Months to Good Account.
Lnrge crops and good prices for the
wheat, oats, barley and flax from Ca
nadian farms have made the winter
resorts In California at times resemble
a meeting of n Canadian farmers' In
stitute, but the practice among suc
cessful farmers of spending their win
ters holidaying seems to bo on the
wane. After all, nothing can be raoro
tiresome than having nothing to do,
nnd the farmers of Western Canada
are now finding winter employment
right on their farms which rivals the
attractions of the sunny South.
Live stock Is the explanation, ac
cording to a six-foot Westerner who
dropped Into the Canadian Government
Information Bureau at 311 Jackson
street, St. Paul. ITo was on his way
back to Western Canada with n car
load of selected breeding stock which
had carried off blue ribbons nt several
stato fairs In 1010, "We have found,"
Hold he, "that there is just as much

By Katharine Egglcston Robert

The world was opaline. From high up
In tho citadel I looked down Into the
heart of It. The sun, half hidden by n
cloud, sent streaks of flame across the
pearl-gray sky. Within the shadowy
girdle of tho hills a rainbow hazo en
meshed the valley. It melted the red
and yellow of tho peaked roofs that
crowded by the stream) of flowing
gold, thinning where the waters met.
There in the weird and mystic light
lay the unreal earth, and I was far
away tip thero nlone In reality. Sud
denly I longed for some one else to
look with me and feel the eerie beauty
of It all. The loneliness pinched at
my heart and made it ache.

I've watched the Journey of tho sun

me. It was an answer to my longing
for sonio one. I feared that It might

The smile died on her lips. She sank
upon the door step und her shoulders
shook,
"It wasn't long before the German
horde came to the hills about the
town. They stormed tho forts for
three days, till at hist they won their
entrance Inlo old Namur. They occu

her hopes were vain and, ns tho
months dragged Into years and no
news came, she ceased to look at ev

emphasized her fear.
"Then one night, when tho lights
were out and nil was still, she heard
a gentle tapping at tho door. Her
mother opened It n little way, nnd
through the space a mnn's voice whis
pered: "I'm weary; I have traveled
far today. Once, long ngo, they told
me If I visited Namur, I'd find safe

quickly as they let him In. Was It
Marcel? At least, perhaps some news.
Hut no, the stranger knew only thnt
once two years ago he and Duvnl
had been together on a bit of work In
Austria. Duval had said that If he
chanced to rench Namur, they'd give
him lodging In that house. Duval had
sent n message, but that was lent; ago,
nnd since then well, no one had heard
from him. Tho stranger hid there nil
next day, nnd then at night departed
and was swallowed, by the dark,
''Five years ot hopeful tomorrows

Jeanne, each year out of the five was

her soul. The Huns were driven back
to their own land. Namur was free

lived rotuncd, to stay nt home ngaln.
And still no one could tell the fute
of lost Marcel Duval. And then"
The voice broke off, for down below
the bells began to ring, the chimes
that drove the cloud from off the sun.
The opnlescent sky turned turquoise
blue; the sunlight tore the rainbow
haze and sent n golden shower across
the world. And from tho church door
came n bridal nntr. I heard a whisper
of the voice again: "The eyes ot
Jeanne are gray morn lit with dawn."
My loneliness was gone. Tho earth

Namur I looked down on the glory of

Gtop Eating Meat for a While If
Your Bladder Is Troubling
You.
When you wake up with bnckache
nnd dull misery In the kidney region It
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says n well-known au
thority. Meat forms uric ncld which
overwor' s the kidneys In their effort
to filter It from the blood nnd they be
come sort of paralyzed and Ioggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, llko you
relieve your bowels; removing nil the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tonguo Is coated,
nnd when the wenther Is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult n good, reliable physi
cian at once or get from your pharma
cist about four ounces of Jnd Salts'
take a tnblespoonful In a glass of
wajer before breakfast for n few
days and your kidneys will then net
fine. This famous salts Is made from
the ncld of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with llthln, nnd has been
used for generations to clean nnd
stimulate sluggish kidneys, nlso to
neutralize uclds In the urine so it no
longer Irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.

"Yes?'
"He's fully ns absent-minded ns you

and never mico opened his mouth."
'1 think I can explain thnt. He was
probably counting tho number of jolts
you were giving him nnd calculating
how much energy was wasted every
time he wns hurled Into the nlr."
