The Increase In the crop returns of the Canadian West, In the past seven ! years, has approached the marvelous, and there is no reason to believe that a corresponding Increase will not re sult for many years to come. The In crease has been particularly noticeable In what was formerly known as the Northwest Territories, but which, on Sept. 1, 1905, became the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. From the official returns we find the following results in the acreage sown to wheat, oats and barley, In the years mention ed, and a more favorable showing can not he pointed to In any other country during a like period. Wheat Oats. Barley. 1898 .307,580 105,077 17,082 1899 .303,523 134,938 14,276 1900 .412,804 175,439 17,044 1901 .504,697 229,439 24,702 1902 .625,758 310,367 36,445 1903 .837,234 440,662 68,974 1904 .905,549 523,634 98,154 The yield has been uniformly good every year except 1900, when there ap pears to have been a slump all along the line. This, however, was more than compensated for In the following year, when the bumper crop in wheat, oats and barley put the returns of all previ ous years completely in the shade, and gave an Impetus to settlement In the West which has prevailed to the pres ent, as the following table by bushels will show: Wheat.

WINTER WEAKNESS Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills tho Tonle That Most People Need for Blood and Nerves. In winter the air of the close rooms in which we spend so much of the time does not furnish enough oxygen to the lungs to burn out the foul matter in tho blood. In the cold season we do not exer : cise as much and the skin and kidneys do not throw off the waste matter as freely as usual. Tho system becomes overloaded ! with poisonous platter, aud too feeble to throw it off. Relief can be had only : through the use of a remedy that will j promptly and thoroughly purify and i strengthen the blood, and the one best adapted for this purpose is the great blood tonic known as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. “They acted liko magio in my case,” said Mrs. Clara L. Wilde, of No. 877 Fnrnsworth avenuo, Detroit, Mich. “ I was weak aud thin aud could not sleep. My stomach and nerves were out of or der. I can't describe how miserable I really was. I dragged through six months of feebleness, growing weaker all the time until I finally hadn’t strength enough to leave my bed. “Then a glad day came, the day when I began to take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. They made me feel strong right away. My appetite came back, I took on flesh and the color returned to my cheeks. People wondered that those pills did for me what the doctors couldu't do. I took only six boxes aud then I was perfectly well. If I had not found this wonderful remedy I surely thiulc that I must have wasted to death. Believing firmly that these pills saved my life by the strength which thev gave mo at a critical mo ment, I unhesitatingly recommend them to others.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain no stimulant but give strength that lasts. They may be obtained at any drug store Wicked Little Boy. From the Chicago Chronicle. Professor Starr, the famous ethnologist, was In his humorous and whimsical way accusing woman of barbarism. "And she Is not only barbarous—she Is Illogical and Inconsistent!" he exclaimed. "I was walking In the country one day with a young woman. In a grove wo came upon a boy about to shin up a tree. There was a nest In the tree, and from a certain angle it w'as possible to »ee in It three eggs. " ‘You wicked Tittle boy," said my com panion, ‘are you going up there to rob that nest?’ " ‘I am,' the boy replied coolly. " ‘How can you?' she exclaimed. 'Think how the mother will grieve over the loss of her eggs!’ " ‘Oh, she won’t care,’ said the boy. ‘She’s up there in your hat.’ " The Escape. From Puck. She awakes from a deep sleep to find the flames roaring and cracking all about her. "MercifuTheavens! am I lost?" she cries. No. On the contrary. The fire, In point of fact, has heated her curling tongues to such a degree that she can make ready to effect her escape without the loss of a precious moment. “How little we know!" she murmurs, when at last she is borne down the ladder, looking too sweet.

There is a man living in Waterbury, Conn., who is the head of a largo family, nearly every member of which is a per former on some kind of musical instru ment. A Bostonian who was visiting the house of the Waterbury man, referred to tills fact, remarking that It must be a source of great pleasure to the family, but to this observation the father made no reply. “Really," continued the Bostonian, “it ii remarkable. Your younger son is a cor netist, both your daughters are pianists, your wife is a violinist, and, I understand the others are also musicians. Now what are you, the father of such a musical com bination?" “I," replied the old man, sarcastically, "I am a pessimist." No Information. From Puck. "Have you seen Professor Gabbleto*s the scientist, lately?" “Yes. I listened to him for more than an hour at the club last night." “Indeed!

Would Scratch and Tear the Flesh Un less Hands Were Tied—"Would Have Died but for Cuticura.” “My little son, when about a year and a half old, began to have sores come out on his face. I bad a phy sician treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come on bis arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tear ing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My Aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent to the drug store and got a cake of Soap and a box of the Ointment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. He Is now strong and healthy, and I can sincerely say that only for your most wonderful remedies my precious child would have died from those terrible sores. Mrs. Eg bert Sheldon, K. F. D.

As she was passing Mr. Bwerdloffs sec ond hand store one day Miss Browne no ticed a new member of the family, a little girl of 3 or 4, playing near the shop door. Bhe knew it was a Swerdloff, for she rec ognized the red print dress and blue blb spron garb worn by three older feminine Bwerdloffs live out of the seven days of the week. “Good afternoon, Mr. Swerdloff," said Miss Browne. "This Is a little girl I have never seen before. What Is her name?” "Heere nam?" stammered the father, with a look of dazed helplessness. "Heere nam 7" And again ha glanced uneasily about as If searching for a clew to the answer. “Veil, Mees Prowne, X not kno‘ all times my shildren’s names eef you yump me qvlck at like dat.

Was Fast Drifting Into the Fatal Stages of Kidney Sickness. Dr. Melvin M. Page, Page Optical Co., Erie, Pa., writes: “Taking too many Iced drinks In New York in 1895 sent me home with a terrible attack of kidney trouble. I had acute conges tion, sharp pain in the back, headaches and attacks of diz ziness. My eyes gave out, and with the languor and sleeplessness of the of the disease upon me I wasted from 194 to 122 pounds. At the time I started using Doan’s Kid ney Pills an abscess was forming on my right kidney.

The rush, push and strenuous ness of the American people has a strong tendency to lead up to valv alar and other affections of the heart, attended by Ir regular action, palpitation, dizziness, smothered sensations and other distress ing symptoms. Three of the prominent ingredients of which Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis covery is made are recommended by soma of the leading writers on Materia MetUca for the cure of just such cases. Oolden Seal root, for instance, Is said by the United States Dispensatory, a stand ard authority, "to Impart tone and In creased power to the heart's action." Numerous other leading authorities rep resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed tonic for the muscular system In general, and as the heart Is almost wholly com posed of muscular tissue. It naturally follows that It must be greatly strength ened by this superb, general tonic. But probably the most important ingredient of " Golden Medical Discovery/ so far as its marvelous cures of valvular and other affections of the heart are con cerned, Is Stone root, or Cotlbusonia Can., Prof. Win. Paine, author of Paine’s Epltomy of Medicine, says of it: "I. not long since, had a patient who was so much oppressed with valvular disease of the heart that his friends were obliged to carry him up-stalrs. He, however, gradually recovered under the Influence of OolUnsonln (medicinal principle extracted from Stone root), and Is now attending to his business. Heretofore physicians knew of no remedy for the removal of so distressing and so dan gerous a malady. With them it was all guess-work, and It fearfully warned the afflicted that death was near at hand. Col llnsonln unquestionably affords relief In such cases, and lu most Instances effects a cure." Stone root Is also recommended by Dra. Hale and Elllngwood, of Chicago, for valvular and other diseases of the heart. The latter says: "It Is a heart tonic ol direct and permanent Influence." "Golden Medical Discovery,” not only cures serious heart affections, but Is a most efficient general tonic and lnvlgor ator, strengthening the stomach, invig orating the liver, regulating the bowels and curing catarrhal affections In all parts of the system.
