"I endorse Peruna as a splendid
medicine for catarrh and stomach
trouble, from which I suffered sev
eral years. I took it tor several
months, found my health was re
stored and have felt splendialy ever
since. I now take it when I con

Raise High Priced Wheat
on Fertile Canadian Soil
Canada extends to you a hearty invita- 1
tion to settle on her FREE Homestead i
lands of 160 acres each or secure some H
of the low priced lands in Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta. This year wheat i> higher but
Canadian land just at cheap, so the opportunity is more at
tractive than ever. Canada wants you to help feed the world
by tilling some of her fertile soil—land similar to that which
during many years hat averaged 20 to 45 bushels of wheat 3
to the acre. Think of the money you can make with wheat !
around $2 a bushel and land to easy to get. Wonderful
yields also of Oats, Barley and Flax. Mixed farming
in Western Canada is as profitable an industry as
grain growing.
The Government this year is tsking farmers to put in
creased acreage into grain. There ia a great demand for
farm labor to replace the many young men who have'
volunteered for service. The climate ia healthful and
agreeable, railway facilities excellent, good schools and
churches convenient. Write for literature as to reduced

“Wta Will Win
This Battle?
Tour kidneys are the filters of the
body. If they become inactive and fail
to eliminate the waste matter, they are
apt to throw the whole mechanism of
the body out of order, thus toxic poisons
can accumulate in the system and be as
deadly as snake venom.
Besides causing the minor ailments
of rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago and
backache, neglect of the kidneys is apt
to develop into more serious diseases,
such as diabetes or stone in the bladder.
Bid the body of toxic poisons—clean
the bladder and kidneys and cure the
twinges of rheumatism with Anuric and
you win the battle of life.
Anuric was first discovered by Dr.
Tierce and has benefited thousands of

How Prices Go Up.
An incident which is being told id
the wool trade may, perhaps, shed
some light on the way in which pricee
increase when the fundamental value,
remains virtually unchanged. It maj
also illustrate how something akin t<
camouflage Is utilized by business met
to deceive even themselves into be
Sieving there is a shortage. One deal
er sold a consignment of wool at 61
cents a pound, and it was resold sever
al times, each dealer making 10 cents
a pound profit. In the course of time,
the merchant first referred to heard
that a certain firm had an allotment of
wool for sale and asked the price. 0«
being told that the present owners had
purchased at $1 a pound, and were
willing to sell at $1.25, the inquirer
said, “All right. I’ll take it and send
you a check. Where is the wool ?” The
answer came: “On the third floor oi

American Soldiers Courteous.
A French mother whose two sons,
her only children, have given their
lives for France, has written to
Margaret Prescott Montague, the
American writer, praising the cour
tesy of the American troops now in
France. The letter is enough to
make the heart of every American
swell with pride. It was printed in
the Atlantic Monthly, and says:
There have been here, in Paris, many
touching expressions of the gratitude of
our French people toward America. The
first soldiers who arrived here have been
greetedl with extraordinary manifestations
of the most ardent patriotic joy. In re
turn, those fine, handsome men have en
deared themselves to us by traits which
Reveal the nobility of their character.
1 myself have been by a mere chance
the object of one of these manifestations,
and it has moved me so deeply that 1 must
tell you al' about it.
V waa watting at the corner of l’Ave
nue du Trocadero, all alone, standing
on the edge of the sidewalk, w’rapped in
my sombre mourning clothes. It was 5
o’clock in the afternoon. I was not think
ing of the rides organized through Paris
for the American boys, when, all of a sud
den, a motor bus appeared, decorated
with the American and allies’ flags, and
carrying at least 40 of your soldiers.
A poilu, one of our men, was driving, and
next to him sat a noncommissioned Amer
ican officer, who. eeeing me, took aff his
hat and, with a deep gesture, saluted me.
All the soldiers in the bus rose and re- ,
peated the salute.
Behind this car. at least 20 more motors i
followed, the occupants of which, one
after the other, repeated the beautiful
and touching homage to my dead sons
while smiling to me with an air both sac
and resolute. T saluted them also, and
understood w'ell that they wished to «a>
to me. "We have come to fight fpr them
to complete the task they have begun!’
And 1 wished to tell them. “Courage el
merci!”
Was not this a beautiful beginning fof
all those valiant fellows. You can well
be proud of them, for we feel it a glors
to have at our side such soldiers in tliif i
struggle for right and liberty.
Verbal Hash.
From the Milwaukee Journal.
Senator LaFollette has made his long
heralded speech in congress. With all thf
power at his command, he has given hit
Me regarding his disloyal acts and utter
ances. And the most that one can satf 1
concerning his defense Is that it is nu
mlllating to Wisconsin to have a man rep
resenting this state who talks such stuff |
as Mr. LaFollette voiced in congress. If ,
anyone can find anything American in his
speech, he can beat the thousands of loyal
ones who have sought vainly for the |
slightest evidence of genuine patriotism in
Mr. LaFollette’s remarks.
What Mr. LaFollette said in defense of
himself Is mere verbal hash, an exclama
tory concoction made up of the stuff that
has been talked by the propagandists, the
pro-Germans, the pacifists, and all the
others who have been giving aid and com
fort to Germany. There is criticism of the
nation. There is abuse of the admlnistra- j
tion. There is opposition to the war. But i
there is never a word of anything con- |
etructive favoring the United States ,
Never a word is there in denunciation of j
the Belgian outrage, the sinking of tht |
Lusitania, the bad faith of Germany in
keeping her pledged word, or the war by
the kaiser within the United States
against the United States.
If the Journal lia-d 1,000.000 tongues, it
would take them all to tell the outrages i
committed by the German government
against the United States and the harm ,
done America by propagandist newspa- ;
pers. treasonable individuals, and such j
lack loyal citizens as Senator LaFollette.
All their talk about free speech is pretty, |
but disloyally so. When a man is trying J
to burn one's house or murder one’s chil4
dren, men cannot talk about free speech.
There Is nothing to do but act. As for the
Americanism of those who are backing .
Senator LaFollette in his lack loyalty po- ■
sltion, it is nil. And as Senator Robinson, !
Arkansas, said in bis reply to Mr. LaFol- |
lette, Saturday, the man who would not j
fight Germany now, after what Germany I
has done to us, who would take such a j
position as Mr. LaFollette’s. "would not ;
fight if his ow*n daughter were ravished
In his own home.”
Too Big For His Job.
From the Milwaukee Journal.
On the streets of a neighboring city Is !
a young man without a iob. He is steady
In his habits. Ho never enters a saloon.
He does not gamble. He has never been
known to be late at work. And he is one
of the most skilled of the younger men in
his orofession. But the company had to 1
discharge him a week ago, within less
than three months after be had been giv
tn his'first promotion with the company.
That promotion, with an increase ot Jo
a week in salary, ruined him. Ho thought
himself indispensable to the company.
And when a man gets to where he thinks
nls employers cannot get along without
aim. be has taken the first step tbward
discharge.
This young man, after he was promoted,
Decame autocratic. He put ori fine clothes.
He began telling the other fellows how
;o do their work. He criticized them for
:he way they did their work. He got to
where he thought he knew more than the
nen who had built up the business arid
were directing its affairs. Then they had
let him go.
Moral: Young men who expect to make
;heir way . in a trade or a business, must
fuard against getting too exalted an op1n
on of their importance. There is not an
employer anywhere that cannot get along
without any one of his employes. He
night be inconvenienced for a time by
lis loss, but there is always someone
•eady to take the place of the man a little
ligher up. There is a big demand every
where for men with ability, but r.o bust
iesw has any patience with conceited men
vho try to exploit their brains and powers
before their fellows. No young man who
lopes to advance in his chosen profess.on
ran be too careful to refrain from nspurri
ng an air of self-importance. Really big
men, after all, are the most unassuming

She Did Her “Bit."
There are many ways for one to <lo
[Ids bit, but n young woman, riding on
die hurricane deck of a Fifth avenue
bus, discovered a new way, relates the
New York Times. The bus was just
about to go under the elevated struc
ture, which is only a few feet above
the heads of those seated on Its top,
when a young man In khaki jumped
to his feet to join a woman friend In
a seat that had just been vacated. The
conductor sprung forward to grasp the
soldier, but a young woman seated
nearby was quicker. "Sit down,” she
commanded sharply, at the same time
Jerking the arm of Sammy. The khaki
clad young man lost his balance and
the next moment he was seated—in the
young woman's lap. The girl blushed
a bright pink, and the soldier apolo
gized. and everybody smiled. “I don't
care,” said the young woman to her
friend. “I feel that l have done my
bit in saving that soldier's head from
being battered by the low bridge.”
Housekeepers Gan Save
$200,000,000 on Food
In those days when the high cost of liv
ing pinches nearly every home, no waste
should be overlooked. One of the most
flagrant and the most easily prevented, Is
the destruction of food by rats. One rat
will often do a hundred dollars' damage of
food and property In a, single night, and a
careful estimate gives over tiOO.OOO.OOO as
the value of foodstuffs destroyed annually
by these pests. Exterminate them with
Stearns’ Paste and save this enormous
loss of food. A small box of Stearns'
Paste costs only 35 cents and Is usual
ly enough to completely rid the house of
rats and mice: also effective against cock
roaches and waterbugs. Adv.

“Is tills the marriage parlor?” she
asked. When told there were no mar
riage parlors connected with the of
fice, she said she was anxious to get
some Information nbout the ’’price of
marriage.”
”1 heard some talk about the price
of marriage going up and 1 wanted to
know if they had a standard price dur
ing the war.” she explained.
She gave a sigh of relief when in
formed that the price of marriage
licenses had not been increased, and
that most justices of the pence and
ministers still relied on the generosity
of the bridegroom for their compensa
tion for performing the ceremony.
