PREPARING FOR
NEW 5E11LEIS
EXTENDING THE AGRICULTURAL
AREA IN WESTERN CANADA.
For sometime past the Canadian
government has had surveyors at
work platting new areas for the ac
commodation of the largely increas
ing number of Bettlers coming in to
occupy the agricultural districts of
the three prairie provinces. There
were those connected with the work
of securing settlers for western Can
ada who last spring prophesied that
there would be as many as 175,000
new settlers from the United States
to Canada during the present year,
and there were those who doubted
that the previous year’s figures of
132,OpO could be increased. Recent
computation made by the officials of
the immigration branch at Ottawa
show that the largest estimates made
by officials will be beaten and that
' the 200,000 mark from the United
States will be reached. As great an
Increase will be shown in the figures
of those who will reach Canada from
other countries this year. The re
sults of the year’s work in Canadian
immigration will give upward of a
total of 400,000 souls.
But this is not to be wondered at
when it is realized what is offering in
the three prairie provinces and also
in the coast province of British Co
lumbia, which is also bidding strong
ly and successfully, too, for a certain
Cass of settler, the settler who
wishes to go into mixed farming or
fruit raising. When the central por
tion of this province is opened up by
the railway now being constructed
there will be large areas of splendid
land available for the settler.
Reference has frequently been made
of late by those interested in develop
ing the American west to the large
numbers who are going to Canada,
high officials in some of the railways
being amongst the number to give
voice to the fact. The more these
facts become known the more will
people seek the reasons and these
are best given when one reads what
prominent people say of it. What the
farmer thinks of it and what his
friends say of it. James A. Flaherty,
supreme knight of the Knights of Co
lumbus, was in western Canada a
short time ago. He says:
“If I were a young man I would
sell out my interests in less than two
months and come right to the Cana
dian Northwest, where so many op
portunities abound.”—Advertisement.

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR
To allay itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura oint
ment into the parting with a bit of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. It is well to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment

ETHl I. son of Ra
meses I of Egypt,
father of Rameses
the Great, and
founder of the
nineteenth dynasty,
has come to life
again and is living
in a dilapidated old
houseboat on the Thames, near
Staines, England. He comes to Ix>n
don every week and expounds the
mysteries of Hindoo occultism to a
large audience. At his feet, drinking
in every word of his somewhat unin
telligible lectures, sit titled women,
and a small sprinkling of titled men.
representative of that intellectual so
ciety of England which is ever ready
to lend an attentive ear to the new,
the weird, or the mysterious.
Sethi I. in his reincarnated state,
is thoroughly modern. He calls him
self plain Frederick Thurston. For
ten years he has lived alone in the
Thames houseboat, delving deep into
the secrets of the -Hindoos. And all
the while he had looked forward to
the time when he can return to
Egypt, not in the guise of his for
mer incarceration, but as the founder
of a psychic city on the Alexandrian
coast. “To this city.” he said to the
writer, “people could come from all
parts of the world for mental and
physical invigoration. People would
live the simple life—simple food,
early to bed and early to rise, simple
speech, dancing and singing. There
would be daily lessons, lectures in
mystical and occult subjects, and ev
erything would tend to develop the
psychic qualities In the inhabitants
and the visitors.”
Rut if Thurston cannot found this
city at the moment he is losing no
i time in carrying on the work which
it would do. He 'believes that the
afternoons are wasted by the English
intellectuals. The mornings are given
over to sleep, the evenings to enter
tainment and pleasure; it is only In
the afternoons that kindred souls can
be gathered from the far ends of the
great city and the higher planes of
intellectualism be developed, believes
Thurston. And he has entered upon
that work of development. In a lit
tle room in Regent street, not 50
paces trom riccaaniy t ireus, 1 Hurs
ton sits one afternoon a week and an
swers the eager questions of the men
and women who thirst for the knowl
edge of the Hindoo philosophers.
The new Sethi 1 is a remarkable
looking man. Just above the aver
age height, he has an enormous head
crowned with an immense dome of a
forehead. Across bis temples and
the shining expanse of his ha!f-bald
head run great protruding veins. But
the strangest thing about this most
extraordinary man is his uncanny
facial resemblance to the Egyptian
ruler of whom he claims to be a re
incarnation. Compare his profile with
that of the mummy of Sethi I and it
is difficult to put your finger on a
point of difference. There is the same
sweep of the full forehead, the same
long nose, the same repressive lips
and. allowing for the sinking of the
chin with age. the same formation of
the lower jaw The resemblance of
the ears and the back of the head is
even more exact.
The process of reincarnation, while
reproducing the outward form of the
original, has played an odd trick in
other respects. It has put the soul of
this famous Egyptian ruler in the
bodv of a Thames-side recluse, who
/
far from believing and practicing the
religion of the original, is deep in
the mysticism of the Hindoos; who is
steeped in, practices and preaches the
beliefs of a secret cult of Indians—
the adepts of the Goathan temple hid
den away in the soaring Himalayas,
16,000 feet above the level of the sea.
where no white man has even pene
trated.
j This religion is neither Buddhism,
j Theosophy, nor New Thought, but a
strange mixture of all three. Its
greatest vogue was reached forty cen
turies ago when the shrine of the
Gosainlhan, nestling in the snow of
the Himalayas, the highest temple in
the world. was known and revered
throughout the length and breadth of
India. The adepts of this religion,
almost unknown to the scientists of
the present day. have developed to
an extraordinary extent the study of
the mind in the spirit realm, which is
just beginning to take a firm hold
upon the imaginations of thinking
people all over the world. In the sys
tem of these Hindoo scholars there
is a marked distinction between
| what is known as metempsychosis, or
i a mere passing of the soul, and rein
I carnation, meaning the passing of the
i soul through flesh, as in the case of
Thurston and the soul of Sethi I.
Gosainthan is the chapel royal of
the fabulously rich Maharajah of
Xapal. a semi-independeat Indian rul
er who is in treaty alliance, w'tta
England. He. however, pays no
tribute to the British, hut every five
years sent offerings of fruit and flow
ers to the emperor of China up to
j the time of that ruler's abdication
j Although Thurston has never pene
j trated the sacred precincts of this
Himalayan temple, he probably knows
! more about it than any other white
| man. For some years he acted as
1 tutor and coach to a number of In
i dian princes at Eton and from them
he gathered many of the secrets of
the strange cult. But. quite aside
front that, he has traveled in the
east, studying the wisdom which was
of so much earlier perfection than
our own. He climbed many of the
Himalayan peaks, talked with Hin
doos of all degrees, many of whom
had never seen a white man before,
and made his way in disguise into the
wilds of Thibet.
Thurston is really a poet of rare
power and at Cambridge he captured
the chancellors gold medal, following
in the footsteps of Tennyson and
Byron. “At that time,” he said to
me, "1 intended to devote my life to
poetry. But later I decided that it
was more important to live poetry
than to write it. I have been’ living
it ever since. 1 live the year around
on my houseboat on the Thames. I
am up every morning at six o'clock
and take a plunge in the river no
matter what the temperature. Then
I am ready for a couple of hours' ex
ercise. This takes the form chiefly of
dancing. Breakfast out of the way,
I am ready for a morning of study
and meditation, for the knowledge pf
the mystics is inexhaustible and can
never be w-liolly mastered."
Meanwhile the peculiar form of
mysticism which Thurston ladles out
to thirsty souls once a week in the
room in Regent street is spreading
rapidly among the upper class of
English society. A full list of the
700 men and women who have already
fallen under his spell would include
most of the intelectual aristocracy.
Rut while Thurston takes an ex
traordinary interest in the progress
of all these disciples, his star pupil
lives at Staines, not far from his
houseboat. She is none other than
Cora Urquhart Potter, the famous
American actress. Mrs. Brown Potter
has become so saturated with the
Hindoo lore that she is now recog
nizer as an expert, and recently gave
a lecture on the subject at the Ritz
hotel. She first became interested in
the subject during a tour in India and
searched long but vainly there for a
guide to the secrets which are so
jealously guarded by the natives. It
was not until she returned to Eng
land and accidentally met Thurston
that her greatest wish was satisfied.
In the Staines recluse she found the
mentor she had so long sought.
ALBANIA FOR THE ALBANIANS
Much of Country fas Been as Inde
pendent as Montenegro—People
of Native Stock.
“Albania for Albanians" may be one
outcome of the Balkan war. The Ital
ian duke of the Abruzzl, the intrepid
Polar explorer, has been suggested as
reigning prince of this brave people.
Austria may have other plans.
Bike the Welsh in Rritain and the
Basques in Spain, the Albanians are a
native stock. They speak the only
original Balkan language. The Turks
have not permitted the Albanian
tongue to be taught in schools. There
is no literature, no agreement even as
to how it shall be written. Of the few
w'ho can write, some use Greek letters
some the Roman. The Albanians
themselves are nearly all Moslems,
but. 400,000 Greeks, Serbs, Vlachs and
Bulgarians in their land belong to
the Greek church. The famous seven
highland clans of the north known
as the Maiissori are Roman Catholic.
Blood feuds, lack of roads and Turk
ish misgovernment make the interior
the only part of Europe where ordi
nary travel is unsafe. One-quarter
of all the deaths In the country are
violent, either in clan warfare or in ;
! clashes with Turks. Much of the
country has been as independent as
Montenegro. The Turk never cowed
or taxed its rugged hills. The Balkan
allies may be willing not to under
take it.
Of all fallow and backward races
the Albanians have perhaps the great
est possibilities. Haeckel said that
they have the best shaped heads in
Europe. Their natural ability is
great. Emigrant Albanians in Greece
and Italy have carried with them their
love of liberty and their valor. If
an independent government could in
troduce schools and check feuds, there
would soon be another wonderful, pro
gressive little nation in the south
east, quite capable of existing for its
own sake, and not as a mere catspaw
for Italy and Austria. •

WORLD’S OLDEST MUSEUM
Dr. Otto Kummel, head of the East
Astatic department of the Herlin mu
seum of ethnology, tells of the oldest
museum in the world in the bulletin or
the Societe Franco-.laponaise. This
museum may be found in the city of
Nara, the former capital of Japan.
Since its foundation, in 756, it lias
gone through all the changes’ of the
Japanese empire without one single
addition to its collection. Dr. Otto
Kummel is one of the few Europeans
who were permitted to visit this mu
seum. It opens its doors but once a
year on a day in spring, when a spe
cial committee inspects the' collec
tion and a new list is made out. The
museum contains about 3,000 articles,
which are said to be the most beauti
ful specimens of decorative work
which have ever been produced by hu
man band, such as lacquer ware, dec
orative furniture, enamel ware, cam
bric-like fabric, etc. The origin of
the majority of the articles is uncer
tain; some came from China and
others from Corea, but most of them
appear io be of a more exotic origin.

that his dog invariably awakened at

Backache Makes Anyone Feel Old
Nothing ages anyone more quickly than
weak kidneys.
It is not alone the aching back, the stiff,
painful joints, but the evil effect of bad,
poisoned blood on the nerves, the vital
organs and the digestion.
The condition of the kidneys makes good
health or ill-health.
The kidneys are the filters of the blood.
Active kidneys filter from the blood ev
ery day over one ounce of poisonous waste
and pass it off dissolved in the urine.
If the kidneys are weak or diseased, only
part of this filtering is done and the blood
is heavy with uric acid and other poison
ous or waste matter.
Instead of being nourished by the
blood, the nerves and vital organs are ir
ritated. and the circulation, digestion, etc.,
are disturbed.
If your back aches constantly, if your
joints are stiff, lame and painful, suspect
the kidneys.
Kidney sufferers are likely to feel dull,
heavy, restless at night, rheumatic, dizzy
at times, subject to headaches and an
noyed with sharp, piercing pains that
make work an agony and rest impossible.
Doan's Kidney Pills are the best-recom
mended and most widely used remedy for
weak or diseased kidneys. They aet quick
ly: contain no poisonous nor habit-form
ing drugs and leave no bad after-affects
of any kind—just make you feel better all
over.

F. D. Wert, Port Aransas. Texas, says:
“' The secretions from my kidneys were too
frequent in passage, burned terribly and
contained a thick, red brick-dust sediment.
My back ached all the time and there
were pains through my kidneys and sides.
1 simply couldn't straighten after stoop
ing. When in bed, 1 couldn’t even turn
on my side. 1 had awful dizzy and nerv
ous spells and my eyes got so bad that I
couldn't use them much. I was confined
to my bed for months. Finally, inv own
doctor called in a specialist for consulta
tion. They told me I had but a short
time to live. 1 happened to read of a.
similar case that had been cured bv Doan's
Kidney Pills. 1 sent for this remedy at
once and from the time I began using it.
i felt better and stronger. In two mouths
I was able to work every day, and in an
other month I was as well as ever. For
twelve years 1 have had no sign of kidney
trouble.”
