Fertile Land at $15 to $30 per Acre—
land similar to that which through many years has averaged from 20 to 45
bushels offbeat to the acre. Hundreds of cases are on record where in Western
Canada a single crop has paid the cost of land and production. The Govern
ments of the Dominion and Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta want
toe farmer to prosper, and extend every possible encouragement and help to
Grain Growing and Stock Raising.
ThoughWestem Canadaoffers land at such low figures, the high
prices ol grain, cattle, sheep and hoga will remain.
Leans for the purchase of stock may be had at low interest;
mere are good shipping facilities; best of markets; free schools;
churches; splendid climate: low taxation (none on improvements).

WEAK KIDNEYS MEAN
A WEAK BODY
W hen you’re fifty, your body begins to
creak a little at the hinges. Motion is
more slow and deliberate. “Not bo young
as I used to be" is a frequent and unwel
muie thought. Certain bodily functions
, upon which good health and good spirits
so much depend, are impaired. The weak
spot is generally the bladder. Unpleasant
symptoms show themselves. Painful and
annoying complications in other organs
arise. This is particularly true with el
derly people. If you only know bow, this
trouble can be obviated.

j The League of Nations Z)zscHSsec/ ]
From the London Spectator, October 26, 1618.
It is no exaggeration to say that the fate of the civilized world
and of all human progress hangs upon whether we take the right or
tho wrong path in dealing with the problem of the league of nations.
Remember, the vision of peace by agreement and of the federation of
nations has haunted the minds of men in one shape or another for
countless centuries. Greek statesmen had these ideas at the end ot
the Persian war, during the whole of the great Peloponnesian con
test and after its conclusion, and though the cynics and the profes
sors of Rcalpolitik smiled at their simplicity, thinkers and poets
like Plato chose the larger hope. Once more the idea is. in ths
ascendant, and minds and spirits are “finely touched” to th«M fine
issues. Men of light and leading are wondering whether it may not
be possible in a more enlighterffcd and more democratic age actually
to do what our progenitors could dream about but never accomplish.
Success or failure in this great venture must depend upon the
prime object aimed at. We do not want to make the object of tho
league of nations the abolition of war in the abstraet, or the erection
of some mixed tribunal into whoso hands men and nations shall
entrust the dearest things which they possess—their liberties, their
rights, and their independence. We do not want the object of the
league of nations to be the establishment of some committee or ool
leetivist form of the Pax Romana which will crush all national individ
uality, or will prove a kind of benignant upas-tree that will shelter
everybody and yet shrivel while it shelters. We do not want the
nations in their mood of humanity caused by the*horrors they have
witnessed and experienced, first to rush into the extreme belief that
anything is better than Avar, and then to find that they were mistaken
and revert to the old and hopeless regime of armed peace. Wkal tee
ask them to do, and it is all we believe it is safe for them to do, it to
pledge themselves severally and jointly to insist that solemn treaties
between nations shall not be treated as “scraps of paper ” but shall be
strictly and honestly observed. We Avant to make contracts between
nations, while they remain, the most solemn and essential things in
the Avorld—something a thousandfold more sacred than contracts be
tween individuals, just as the interests of the nation are a thousand
fold more sacred than those of the single individuals that compose it.
But though the nations of the earth must agree to think no crime
greater or more despicable than the illegal repudiation of a treaty
contract, whether made for some’ specific purpose or for general
amity and goodwill, we must recognize that the world of nations can
never be put into a straight waistcoat, that there must always be the
capacity for free change and free development within tho interna
tional circle. AboA’e all, we must never forget that freedom is essen
tial to human happiness, and, further, that freedom to do right must
involve freedom to do wrong, and that it is never possible to give
man tho beneficial poAver to choose the one path Avithout taking the
risk of his choosing the other. Therefore, treaties Avhich are not to
prove veritable swaddling clothes, and to turn the nations into mum
mies rather than free limbed human organisms, can never be per
petual. They must be revocable, and revocable within a lime that
will not make men despair of seeing what they will regard as an
essential improvement. Thus, though treaty contracts as long as
they are in existence must be maintained by the whole weight and
poAver of mankind, the nations which entered into them must be able
to free themselves from their contractual bonds, if they deem it essen
tial to their welfare to do so, without intolerable difficulty or delay.
We suggest that if mankind acting in unison shall be bound to
uphold the sanctity of treaties, a year’s notice shall free any nation
from its diplomatic instruments. Any recourse to arms before that
year has expired, no matter what the alleged excuse, and uo matter
what the merits, must be dealt Avith with the utmost sternness. But
it must not be dealt Avitli by war, for that Avould mean some system
of international armies and fleets and air squadrons, which, men
being what they are, would open up a hopeless vista of intrigue. We
must have recourse to non-intercourse as the weapon by which tho
sanctity of treaties is to be upheld. We believe that compulsory dis
armament, compulsory arbitration, compulsory entry into on interna
tional federation, can only lead first of all to disappointment, tyr
anny, and intrigue, and ultimately either to the loss of that national
individuality Avhich the peoples rightly cherish, or to the breaking up
of the league as a hopeless failure. Instead of all these high sounding
aims, Ave desire to have the one clear obligation that nations must
respect their treaty pledges.
Remember that no nation Avhich was restrained from fighting for
one year Avould be able to say, as it might in the ease of arbitration,
that it must refuse to submit to the ruling of a court of which the
judges could be alleged to be foolish, inhuman, prejudiced, bribed, or
capable of acting as politicians rather than as jurists. By onr plan
Ave avoid all these apparently good excuses for war. Wc avoid also
the danger of the great powers being judges in their own cause, or
else of having to submit issues of supreme importance to the legal
representatives of the smaller nations, as the only persons procurable
who could he regarded as wholly impartial.
j Fighting Famine. j
From the Springfield Republican.
The world Is now faee to face with a
a supreme struggle against famine. Mr.
Hoover understates the gravity of the
food situation rather than overstates It.
American can be of Incalculable service
to humanity during the coming year by
practicing self denial and exporting its
surplus of food to (he starving millions
In the devastated continent of Europe.
Our task In feeding our friends now in
cludes that of feeding those who were
our enemies.
Anarchy knows no national boundaries
and patriotism cannot be nourishod on
an empty stomach.
The north temperate zone 1s on the
edge of winter. Not in many genera
tions has there been In this zone so
small an amount of food In proportion
to the number of human beings to be
fed. During the last growing season
none of the allied countries In Europe
produced enough to feed Its own Inhab
itants for the coming yoar. Going east
from Franco the situation becomes stead
ily worse In this respect, until In Euro
pean Kussla millions are now In danger
of actual starvation berore the next crops
can be grown.
The salvation of the European popu
lations now depends upon North and
South America. Australia and even India,
the land of traditional famine. Mr.
Hoover estimates that North America,
Including the West Indies, must send
abroad at least 20,000,000 tons of food
stuffs in the fiscal year ending Juno
30, 1913, as compared with 11,852,000 tons
In the last fiscal year and a prewar
normal export of 8,030,000 tons. Yet the

Do You Yawn at Concerto?
From the Kansas City Times.
If a person yawn* during a symphony
concert and twists his program instead
of being absorbed in classical music it
may not be his fault. It muy be due to
an underdeveloped pituitary body, which
Is located In the brain, back of the
temples.
Tills is according to Cyril Scott, the I
Bonn writer, in his 'The Philosophy of J
Modernism in Connection With Music.”
Mr. Scott says that tills pliuitarv borlv
is highly susceptible to musical vibra
tions, if normally developed. In other
words, it is the seat of the emotions,
lie goee further and adds that it is the
seat of the astral or subliminal self.
This is in keeping with the theory of
the ancients that this gland Is tfcs seat
of the soul.
In commenting on Ur. Scott's state
ment, the Medicine ami Surgery Maga
zine eays:
"At a time like this kite Uts pituitary
body Is the pai-nmownt topic ot conver
sation In medical eiiclea p.v account of
Its influence on our tenfierwsight or

HO ROOM FOR
PESSIMISM
Canada as a Nation Builder.
With Cunnda’8 great task In the
war before the public, the burdens
that she so willingly took and so ably
Carried, and her recent victory In sub
scribing $176,000,000 to the 6th Vic
tory Bond Loan more than she asked,
he would be a skeptic who would as
sociate the word pessimism with her
present condition. Canada deplores
the heavy human loss which she has
suffered, but even those akin to those
lost In battle say with cheerfulness
that while the sacrifice wms great, the
cause was wonderful, and accept
their sufferings with grace. It may
well be said there is no room In Cuu
nda today for the pessimist. The ag
ricultural production of the country
has doubled In four years. $140,000,
000 are the railway earnings today
or 3>4 times what they were ten yenrs
ago, while the bnnk deposits nre now
$1,783,000,000 as compared with $133,
000,000 thirty yenrs ago.
There Is a wonderful promise for
the future.
It Is with buoyancy that Canada
faces on era of peace. She has tri
umphed over the soul-testing erlsl9 of
war. Before the war Canuda was a
borrower, and expected to continue so
for inuuy years. For the pnst year and
a hnlf we have seen her finance her
self. She has also been furnishing
credits to other nations.
A recent article In the “Boston
Transcript” says:
“The people at home have not been
lugging behind the boys at the front In
courage, resourcefulness and efficiency.
The development of Canada’s war in
dustry Is an Industrial romance of
front rank. American Government of
ficials can testify to the efficiency of
the manufacturing plant Canada has
built up in four short years. In De
partment after Department where they
found American Industry failed them
they were able.to turn to Canada. The
full story may be revealed some day."
The some pnper says:
“It Is a new Canada that emerges
from the world war In 1918—a nation
transformed from that which entered
the conflict in 1614.
"The war has taken from Canada a
cruel toll. More than 50,000 of her
bravest sons lie In soldiers’ graves In
Europe. Three times that number
have been more or less Incapacitated
by wounds. The cost of the war In
money is estimated to bo already
$1,100,000,000. These are not light
losses for a country of 8,000,000 people.
Fortunately there Is also a credit side.
Canada has found herself in this war.
She has discovered not merely flic gal
lantry of her soldiers, but the brains
nnd capacity and efficiency of her
whole people. In every branch, in
arms, In Industry, In finance, she has
had to measure her wits ngalnst the
world, and In no case has Canada rou
son to be other than gratified.”—Ad
