With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt waist Just as well at home as the steam laundry can; It will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron.

A. T. Lewis & Son DENVER, COLORADO. UaflUetedwltb). EACTS . Thompson's Eye Water sorasre VOLUMES MIGHT BE WRITTEN Of the Success That Awaits the Farm, er in Western Canada. The story of wheat farming in Wes tern Canada (that portion of Canada lying north of Dakota and Montana) has been frequently told, but it will stand a lot of telling, and still retain its touch of interest. During the year just closed 277,376 persons made their, homes in Canada as compared with 215,912 for the year 1906, an increase of ' 61,464. Those from the United States numbered 56,551. A writer in "Industry recently said: "To-day the "Dominion of Canada is witnessing a "mightier movement of population "than ever stimulated a Biblical writ "er to pen a chapter of Scripture." The same writer says: "From the Rhine "and the Rhone river valleys; from "the port cities of Germany and the "farms of the Fatherland, from the "peasant soil of Russia; and out from "the grimy Lancashire and over-populated Yorkshire, the discontented "and ambitious of every clime are "seeking to take advantage of the "opportunities afforded by the fertile "soil and exhilarating climate of the "Empire of the North." Continuing the same writer says: "While a million human beings throng "the shores of the United States every "year, the smaller number arriving in "Canada come with a more well-de-"fined purpose." The question has been asked why do these people come to Canada? The available land be tween the Mississippi and the Pacific has been exhausted, and the farmers within that territory find that their sons have to seek newer climes. Cana da offers one hundred and sixty acres of land free to each. This land yields from 20 to 40 bushels of wheat to the acre. In Southern Alberta, the winter wheat belt of Canada, as high as 60 bushels per acre have been harvested. Less yields than the one mentioned have netted the farmer as much as $35 per acre. There are no words that tell the tale so effectively as those of the farmer himself, the man who has ploughed the fields, sowed the grain, and with folded hands rests while nature, bounteous in that country, in less than three months, placed at his disposal hundreds of acres of ripened grain, now waiting the arrival of the reaper, and therefore we reproduce the following letter. . Any agent of the Canadian govern ment will be pleased to give informa tion regarding the district mentioned, or any of any other that may be. de sired. E. T. Holmes, Esq., Canadian Government 'Agent, St. Paul, Mlnnv Dear Sir: ? ' ' In 1905 I located on a claim about 30 miles f roir the town of Wadena, on the Canadian Northern Railroad, have Uvea on my claim most of the tA)3tfnRe. I consider this to be one oft the best districts in the country i . t tntt 1 I ior grain growing. in uiro nuwi averaged from 30 to 51 bushels per acre on some of my neighbors' farms, within 4 miles of my claim. Oats go from 75 to 100 bushels. It is also a good country for stock. Where I am there is plenty of fuel. Homesteads nearly all taken the settlement being largely Germans, and Americans, all well-to-do. I left Wadena in Febru ary, 1907, returning April 25, so that I missed part of the winter, which the old settlers tell me was one of the worst they ever saw, but there was no suffering, as the people are pretty well fixed, and there are no blizzards in that country, at least there never has been known to be one. Wild land sells at from $10 to $15; closer te town it is higher. In the summer we have all sorts of wild fruits very plentiful, and I never saw better vegetables, and game is so plentiful a man need not starve for want of something to eat Plenty of good water too. You need not hesitate to recommend this district, but the homesteads are nearly all taken, most of the homesteaders are living right on their claims. (Signed), FRANK MORREY, Kelvington, Sask. At the Church Fair. He paused at the booth where the prettiest girls were In charge. They greeted him with winning smiles. "Can you change a ten?" he anx iously inquired. "We have no change," they chorused. "And I have no ten," he reluctantly murmured. Then he moved away.

Where He Hung Out Most. She was sulking over a broken res olution anent late hours, but forget ting this for one the nonce, he said: "Do you know, darling, I never tire of looking at this snapshot of you?" "You might have it framed and hung up in the lodge, then," she an swered tartly. Starch, like everything else, is be ing constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the lat est discovery Defiance Starch all In jurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, in vented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never ap proached by other brands. Te Clean Weed. It your kitchen table or your bread board is discolored, and scrubbing with soap does not whiten it, take a piece of bath brick, wash the board with hot soapy water, and then rub It thickly with the bath brick. Then use a good scrub brush and more hot water, give a thorough scrubbing, rinse it in clean water, and if possible put it out In the sunlight to dry. Fine and used instead of a bath brick will usually, in conjunction with soap and water, remove the obstinate stains. ,. Now Is the time for the "patient Fil ipinos to turn the other cheek to the sugar trust. It was poor management to pull off a total eclipse where hardly anybody eould see it. With what is left of the million dol lars, doubtless the earl of Yarmouth will be able to get 'on for awhile with out a wife. Nearly three billion people were carried by the railroads in 1907some oi mem were aenverea unaamagea at their destinations. A Denver girl has become the bride of a Pueblo chief who cannot speak English. Perhaps she will have a title among the Indians. Thirteen women's olubs have voted not to trim their hats with the plum age of birds. That is a lucky num ber for the feathered songsters. The Japanese have all they can do to look after their lives at home In a time ot profound peace. They are getting automobiles by the cargo. Argentine farmers just now are busy hauling a big wheat crop to mar ket. Automobile drummers should pack their grips for Sauth America. A French inventor now claims to be able to send photographs by wire less telegraphy. What would a sud den wind storm do to Gov. Hughes' whiskers? About .the nearest thing we ri.ne ru ber to living music heretofore has been the crying of a baby at 2 a. m. as the patient father walked the chilly floor. Really, Count Boni is a man of spirit. He will make faces at the prince or flo something equally dread ful if "the latter dares to marry hia former wife. A moving-picture machine exploded In Canton and 300 Chinese lost their lives in the resulting panic. Civiliza tion is dangerous unless one knows how to hande it. If Prince Helie de Sagan proves as costly a piece of bric-a-brac as did his cousin, the count, it will - keen the Western Union and the Wabash hump ing to run the show. The Chinese imperial telegraphs had net earnings during 1906 of $645,531 en a working capital of $1,232,000. Evi dently the Standard Oil Company isn't the only thing on earth, after all.

Ocean-going ships soon will be fit ted with all the comforts of home. About the only thing that will be missed is the village feud and maybe steamship proprietors will be drag ging that in next. A Newark man was fined $20 for laughing at a policeman. In most cities the majesty of the law consid ers itself sufficiently vindicated when It has beaten the mirthful one over the head with a club. There is in Berlin an artist who is going to marry a widow with $5,000, 000. This is excellent. Now let some delightful heiress add to the gayety by bestowing her hand and fortune Upon some struggling poet. A California architect predicts that we shall soon have 100-story buildings. If his prediction is verified it will be necessary for our fellow citizen to build some pretty tall stacks if they expect to keep us choking with smoke. Science has harnessed the potato bug, as it were, and is making it do stunts in the interests of humanity.

He is known among his acquaint ances and about everybody knows him as the time thief. Not that he relieves his friends of their watches; that wouldn't be so bad, because watches can be replaced, but the time thief takes what can never be recov ered or duplicated minutes and hours, and days and weeks, which do not belong to him. Unlike the ordi nary thief who steals from those who have the most of what he covets, the time thief steals the golden moments from those who have the fewest to spare. The time thief is not ordinarily a bad sort of fellow. But for his per nicious habit of taking what does not belong to him he might be a good citi zen and an ornament to society. The modus operandi of this foe to indus try constitutes the peculiar enormity of his offense, for he carries on his ne farious business openly and cheerfully, persuaded that he is an angel of benefi cence to his fellow men. He "blows" breezily into the of fice of his victim at the busiest hour of the day and this is what takes place: "Hullo, old chap," says the time thief, slapping his victim on the back. "There you are with your nose at the grindstone again. You'll -peg out one of these days and never know you've been alive." "How are you?" 'returns the victim, with- forced politeness, for of course it is impossible to kick the time thief.. . -"You'll excuse me if I finish what I'm at here awfully busy this afternoon." "Busy, nothing," says the time thief, jovially. "You only think you're busy. Nothing but habit, old man, nothing at all but habit. If I didn't drop in every day or two to jar you out of your rut. I don't know what would become o( you. Now, just chuck that pen while I'm here and put your feet up on the desk. Got a little story I want I to tell you." But the victim, who has been through all this before, laughs as po litely as possible, and keeps on with his work. If the time thief didn't have a hide as thick as an alligator he'd take the hint and ramble out. But such a course never occurs to him. Being a time thief, he won't go until he has obtained enough plunder to make it worth his while. Accordingly, he planks himself down in a chair, puts his feet on the desk, and tells his little story. The telephone rings, vis itors arive to transact business with the victim, the office boy comes in with papers for him to sign. These are very annoying interruptions for the time thief, but. they do not dis courage him to the point of giving up his attack. He always begins again at the point where he left off and carries his story through to the end and begins another. The time thief never has any busi ness of his own, and never can see why anybody else should have any. "Look at me," he says boastfully. "I look 20 years younger than you do now, and I'll live that much longer than you. All because I know how to live. Well, so long for now; I'll drop in again to-morrow and cheer you up again." Although the time thief boasts that he knows how to take things easy, it would be worth while to have him tackled by another time thief. The chances are that he would see things in a different light at once. But the effect would only be temporary, and he would pounce on his victim with all the more delight at the next op portunity. In all probability the time thief will last while time lasts. Gorillas Terrorize Congo Natives. Alfred Yorke, a young explorer, who has returned to . London from the French Congo, brought back with him three immense gorillas. He states that a section of the French Congo and the German Cameroons is filled with these big beasts. The natives had been driven away by the ferocious animals, which had even succeeded in getting rid of all the monkeys. These animals are generally armed with heavy clubs, and woe to the car avan that is attacked by them. ' Mr. Yorke describes one such incident that happened to the caravan with which he was traveling, and says that he and his companions owe their lives to the large amount of ammuni tion they carried, with which they suc ceeded in routing the gorillas. Color Photography. The London Times says that the work of pioneers in color photography has reached a promising stage and that a plate is now on sale upon which a fairly satisfactory heliochrome transparency may be made with one exposure and with little more trouble than when making an ordinary nega tive.

I. Dr. Hartman is now offering Pernna tical product. It is just as ethical as any compound put np for the medical profession. No straining of medical ethics can find any fault with it. THB PRINCIPAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are prominently incorporated in the label on the bottle, that the people may know that the claims made for Pernna have a true justincanon. The only departure we shall make from medical ethics in the conduct of Pernna affairs in the future, is the fact that we shall continue to advertise and sell our product TO THE PEOPLE. If we would agree to sell to doctors only, to advertise for doctors only, then the medical fraternity would be obliged to recognize Pernna as being entirely within their approval, BUT WE SHALL NOT DO THIS. We shall continue to offer Pernna to the people. We shall continue to convey to the people our claims for Pernna as a household remedy. We shall continue to supply the people with free literature, teaching them how to us our medicine, teaching them how to avoid disease, teaching them many things of benefit to the home. We shall continue to do this, whether the medical profession like it or not. We are proposing from this time on to take the public into our confidence. Notwithstanding that some imitators and substitutors will be attempting to put np something which they consider just as good as Pernna, we are going to draw aside the veil of secrecy and allow any one who chooses to know exactly OF WHAT PEBUNA IS COMPOSED. This ought to disarm all honest criticism. We expect, however, that crit icism will continue. On some pretext or other those who are envious of the People Who Object to Liquid Medicines Can Now Secure Peruna Tablets. in foreign lands until the people of all the world are supplied with this valu able household remedy. WE CLAIM PERUNA TO BE A CATARRH REMEDY. Buy a bottle and try it. If it helps you, be honest and acknowledge that it has helped you. If you want us to we will publish your statement exactly u you furnish it to us. We will add no words, take away no words. If you wish us to we will publish your portrait in connection with it We will sot do this without your written request, without your entire consent. Pernna has cured thousands of people of chronic catarrh, in many phases and locations. At least, that is what the people say to us, through unsolicited testimonials. Peruna will cure many thousand more, in spite of fabricated slanders to the contrary. WE GUARANTEE EVERY BOTTLE OF PERUNA TO CONTAIN THE INGREDIENTS PRINTED ON THE LABEL. We guarantee that every testimonial we use is absolutely true in the exact language of the testifier. We guarantee that every photograph published is the' photograph of the person whose name it bears, that every word of every testimonial was author ized by the hand that signed it. We are determined to beat onr opponents by being fairer than they are, by dealing squarer than they dare to. We are determined to meet falsehood with truth, duplicity with candor, insincerity with sincerity. We know that the users of Peruna will appreciate our stand. We believe that the dealers in Peruna will applaud our course. We expect even our op ponents will be obliged to acknowledge finally that Peruna is not only an honest and useful remedy, but one of the GREATEST HOUSEHOLD MEDI CINES ON THE CONTINENT.
