Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish bowels while you sleep. Get a 10-cent box. Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath—always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach. Poisonous matter clogged in the in testines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes con gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick ening headache. Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Cascaret to-night will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep—a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv.

Having some spare money on Land, and looking for a suitable investment, they decided to purchase Canadian lands, and farm it. With the assistance of the Canadian Government Agent, at. Des Moines, Iowa, they made selection near Cham pion. Alberta. They put 240 acres of land in wheat, and in writing to Mr. Hewitt, the Canadian Government Agent at Des Moines, one of the mem bers of the firm says: . •I have much pleasure in advising you that on our farm five miles east of Champion, in the Province of Al berta. Canada, this year {1910 we har vested and threshed 10,600 bushels of wheat from 240 acres, this being an average of 44 bushels and 10 pounds to the acre.

Needless to say. we are extremely well pleased with our lands.” It might not be uninteresting to read the report of C. A. Wright of Milo, Iowa, who bought 160 acres at Cham pion.
