°^g Phew! Salts
and Castor OH!
Why take sickening salts or repulsive
castor oil? “Goes through you like a
dose of salts’’ means violence, grips, gripes, gases,
soreness, irritation, and leaves your stomach and bowels
weak and burnt out. Might just as well take concen
trated lye. Then there’s castor oil, disgusting, nauseat
ing truck that your stomach refuses unless you disguise
the taste. Fool your own stomach, eh? Don’t ever
believe that anything offensive to your taste or smell is
going to do you real good. Nature makes certain
things repulsive, so you will not take them. Force
yourself to nauseous doses, and you ruin your digestion,
weaken your bowels, destroy your health.

DU YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD IS?
Its Chief Use and a Method of Deter
mining Qood irom Bad Explained.
White Lead Is the standard paint
material all over the world. It is made
by corroding metallic lend Into a white
powder, through exposing it to the
fumes of weak acetic acid and car
bonic acid gas; this powder Is then
ground and mixed with linseed oil.
making a thick paste, in which form
it is packed and sold for painting pur
poses. The painter thins It down to
the proper consistency for application
by the addition of more linseed oil.
The above refers, of course, to pure,
genuine White Lead only. Adulterated
and fake "White Lead," of which there
are many brands on I he market, is
generally some sort of composition
containing only n percentage of white
lead— sometimes no White Lead at all;
in such stuff, barytes or ground rock,
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used to make bulk and imitate the
appearance of pure White Lead.
There is, however, a positive test by
which the purity or impurity of White
Lead may be proved or exposed, before
painting with it.
The blow-pipe flame will reduce pure
white lead to metallic lead. If a sup
posed white lead be thus tested, and it
only partially reduces to lead, leaving
a residue, it Is proof that something
else was there besides white lead.
The National Lead Company guaran
tee all White Lead sold in packages
bearing its "Dutch Boy Painter”
trade-mark to prove absolutely pure
under this blow pipe test, and that you
may make the test yourself in your own
home, they will send free upon re
quest a blow-pipe and everything else
necessary to make the test, together
with a valuable booklet on paint. Ad

A noted violinist and violin maker be
lieves he has discovered a method for
giving, by the aid of an electric ma
chine, the same quality of tone to a
violin that age has been credited with
providing. The theory of the violinist,
says Popular Mechanics, is that it is
not the age of the violin which really
gives it its superior tone, but the
amount of "bowing" or vibration it has
received. By the use of the electrical
machine the violin is expected to get
as much "bowing" in 30 days as the
same instrument would receive in 50
years of ordinary use.
Recent experiments abroad have
shown that the yellow and green col
ors possessed by certain caterpillars
are due to coloring matter derived from
the food and passed through the blood
of the spinners. By impregnating the
leaves with artificial colors the ex
perimenters caused some species of
caterpillars to produce silk of bright
orange yellow and fine rose hues. By
th» aid of the spectroscope th'e presence
and nature of colored pigments in the
blood of the little animals were estab
lished.

Oriental Etiquette.
Everybody's Magazine: A peasant
named All. according to a good old
oriental chestnut, needing badly a don
key for some urgent work, decided to
apply to his neighbor Mehmed, whose
donkey Ail knew to be Idle In the stable
that day.
1 am sorry, my dear neighbor," said
Mehmed, In reply to Ali's request, "but
t cannot please you. My son took the
donkey this morning lo the next vil
lage.”
"I assure you,” Insisted All, "I shall
take the very best care of him, my dear
neighbor."
‘Can you not take my word?" de
manded Mehmed with a show of anger.
"I tell you the donkey Is out."
“But——" at this point the donkey
began to bray loudly. "There. That Is
the donkey braying now."
"Well," said the justly Indignant
Mehmed, “if you would rather take
my donkey's word than my word, we
can be friends no longer, and under
no circumstances can 1 lend you any
thing.”

"I had eczema nearly fifteen years,

the winter time, and were always
Itchy, and I could not keep from
scratching them. 1 had to keep both
bands bandaged all the time, and at
night I would have to scratch through
the bandages as the Itching was so se
vere, and at times I would have to tear
everything off my hands to scratch the
skin. I could not rest or sleep. I had
levftal physicians treat me but they
ttould not give me a permanent cure nor
even could they stop the Itching. Af
ter using the Cutlcura Soap, one box of
Cuticura Ointment and two bottles of

the Itching bad ceased, and now the
sores have disappeared, and I never
felt better in my life than I do now.

years:
Regina, Sask., Nov. 23, 1907.
Commissioner of Immigration, Winni
peg:
Dear Sir-v-It Is with pleasure that I
reply lo your request. Some years ago
I took up a homestead for myself and
also one for my son. The half section
which we own is situated between Rou
leau and Drinkwater, adjoining the
Moose Jaw Creek ; is a low level and
heavy land. We put in 70 acres of
wheat In stubble, which went 20 hush
els to the acre, and 30 acres of sum
mer fallow, which went 25 bushels to
the acre. All the wheat we harvested
this year is No. 1 hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised ou
the earth. We did not sell any wheat
yet, as we intend to keep oue part for
our own seed, and sell the olher part
to people who want first-elass seed, for
there is no doubt If you sow good
wheat you will harvest, good wheat.
We also threshed 9,000 bushels of first
elass oats out of ICO acres. Eighty
acres has been fall plowing, which
yielded 90 bushels per acre, and SO
acres stubble, which went 30 bushels
to the acre. Those outs are the best
kind that can be raised. We have
shipped three car load3 of them, anil
got 53 cents per bushel clear. AM our
grain was cut in the last week of the
month of August before any frost could
touch it.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had a late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were very
adverse and unfavorable, we will make
more money out of our crop this year
than last.
For myself I feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be i
cheeked, even by unusual conditions.
