At a time when everyone Is com plaining of tho high cost of living it light be well to see if we cannot elim inate two great sources of waste Area and rats. Most fires aro needless. All rata arc so. Some years ago a study of tho rat problem in Philadelphia arrived at the conclusion that the rodents of that city ate more than a million dollars' worth of food each year. At that rate, the disgusting creatures can hardly cost less than $100,000,000 per year to the whole country. This Is a pret ty high price to pay for the compan ionship of impish pests which, besides their other bad habits, undermlno floors and carry the most dreaded of all diseases, bubonic plague. Yet fires nre more expensive than rats. In 1015 the last year for which figures are at hand the American people paid out In premiums for fire insurance $410,301,340. Of this vast at least three-fourths could be saved by reducing our fire record to tho rate prevailing In England, France or Germany; and even in our time and nation 8300,000,000 per year Is a sav ing worth noting, and one which would have a perceptible effect on the cost of living. 3 BiH C CJIjLjjWjJjJj!JW H 9 !i GraPe"iMs i p 3ij contains the rich IE 3 supplies of If P 38 phosphate of C JR1 potash grown j j C Ma 'n whatf and I C , I barley. 1 C I Jtt Its mission is E sj ii therefore clear pj and plain it J pj Hfl supplies what J j ordinary food jl fl'l!

FARM LABOR IN DEMAND WESTERN Extraordinary Inducements Being Offered. Previous articles have dealt with the necessity of producing extra quan tities of foods to feed the world dur ing this stress of high consumption ami paucity of production. Instead of the condition Improving It Is growing worse, ami unless drastic and Immedi ate action Is laken, prices will con tinue to climb high. It Is hoped by the Canadian government that by offering extra Inducements to secure n home stead of 100 acres of excellent land In thu hoiiiesteadlng areas of Western Canada, with the combined effort of the farmer In extraordinary preparation of tillage and bigger wages than ever, that Western Canada, with tho assist ance of a nivlne Providence, may pro duce a greater number of million acres of wheat than ever In the past. The farm laborer can now secure a home stead on easier conditions than ever before. All the time that hu works for a Western Cauadlan farmer dur ing 1917, alter he makes Ids entry or filing will count as residence on his homestead for that year, leaving him but two additional years' residence, before getting title to n piece of land that should then lie easily worth $1,000. The response to this offer has been wonderful, and hundreds have al ready taken advantage of It. The climate of Western Canada Is one that breeds energy, Instils life and buoyancy, and with thu soli that the country possesses, no greater asset could be desired. The country Is past the pioneering stage; Its ability to grow nil the smaller grains better than any other portion of the continent lias been proven so often that It seems u waste of time to speak of It. The high name t tin t has been given tho country In the splendid class of live stock that It raises, has placed It In thu high col umn with the best states of the Union. And then social conditions, something that every housewife asks nbout, nre ns nearly perfect as could be wished for. Thousands of miles of telephonu Hue connect the rewotest hamlet with the principal cities of the country and continent, miles of excellent graded roatls, as well as the perfect natural roads or the prairie, make driving nnd hauling easy. Giidlroncd us theso provinces aro with railway lines bring the farm near to Atlantic or Pa cific, or United Stntes markets, rural mall delivery brings the settler still closer to 'the homes abroad. Rural and consolidated schools everywhere nre easy adjuncts to the colleges and universities, which nre said to be among the best on tho continent. Taxation Is light, and only applied on the farm land, cattle, Implements, etc., on the farm being exempt. Many fanners, having realized sufficient from one crop of wheat to pay for their entire farm holdings, have In stalled their own electric light nnd heating plants, have their automobiles and many luxuries they would not have possessed on their old home abroad. Life Is comfortable and ex istence enjoynblo In Western Canada. In no country Is there n greater per centage of contented farmers, and In no part of the continent Is farming easier or more profitable. Land there will produce 30 bushels of wheat to the acre, whllo there are many cases where the yield was higher, as high as 70 bushels. What this means to the farm laborer does not fully appear on the surface. He will get good wages, he can secure n homestead worth at the end of three years about $1,000, while working for wages lie can put In residence duties, nnd cnr. nlso look around, nnd find a good location. Resides the hoiiiesteadlng attraction of Western Canada, there remains the other fact that other lands can be purchased at from $lf to $30, while Improved farms may be had at rea sonable figures. Tho desire to have n piece of land of one's own Is a natural Instinct In the heart of every properly developed man and woman. In earlier years, on account of the great ureas of laud available In the United States, no great difficulty was experienced by any nmbltlous settler of that country who wished to become his own landholder, but the rapid In crease In population, combined with the corresponding rise In tho price of laud, has completely changed this con dition. Land, which a generation ago ailght bo had for the hoiiiesteadlng, )ow commands prices ranging to $100 in acre and over. At such prices It In Uilto hopeless for the tenant farmer Old Looks ? (DY DR. L. II. SMITH) Persons suffering from too much uric ncld In the system frequently look older thnn they should. They ago faster and the appearance of gray hair or bald head In early years Is, Indeed, often n sign of uric ncld. Tho face appears lean and hnggard, lines and wrinkles nppearlng In young men or women. Tho best way to combut this premn turo ago nnd tho obstruction to the arteries and faulty circulation Is of the simplest : Drink copiously of pure water between menls. This will not make you fat, ns It Is only the water taken with tho tncala that fattens.

To pay for It becomes it life-long task, and the probability Is that he will never do more than meet the Interest charges. If he Is serious In his desire to secure a farm home, he must look to countries where there Is still abundant fertile laud available at moderute cost, and where theso lands are to be purchased on terms which make It possible for thu settler with small capital to become a farm owner as the result of u few years' la bor. Ho will also want laud In a coun try where the practices of tho pc plo are similar to those to which he t as been accustomed j a country with thu same language, same religion, samu general habits of living, with laws, currency, weights and measures, etc., based on the same principles as those with which hu Is familiar. He wants a country where he can buy laud from $10.00 to $30.00 an acre, which will produce as big or bigger crops as those iie has been accustomed to from lands at $100.00 an acre. He wants this land where social conditions will hu attractive to himself and his family, and where he can look forward with confidence to being In a few years In dependent, and well started on the road to lluauclal success. All these conditions he will find In Western Canada, uud nowhere else. The provinces of Alberta, Saskatche wan and Manitoba, commonly called "Western Canada," provide the one and only answer to the land-hungry. The land Is here; It Is the kind of land he wants; the conditions are as nearly ideal as Is possible, and thu prices ami terms are such that the man of moderate capital has an op portunity not available to him else where.
