Now that it is known that in th >

to search for some reasons that would

crops of grain of all kinds , good mar
kets for their produce , land and good
land , too at low prices , easy terms of
payment ( not forgetting the 100 acres
of land given free by the government ,
particulars of which the Canadian Gov
ernment Agent , whose .name appe rs
elsewhere , will tell you about ) , and
then the splendid social conditions. The
situation is pretty well sized up by a
writer in one of the magazines. Quot
ing from this article we flnd this :
"Those of us who made good iu the
States. " interjected another settler as
if to continue the story of his neighbor ,
"have bad it easy from the start ; a
little money is./ mighty good thing on
coining into a new country. Hut those
who make an entry , or even buy lands
at low rates , are able to square things
in two or three seasons' crops. There
are hardships in building shanties and
then , with increasing prosperity , get
ting things into shape for better homes.
Hut affairs go much as in the States.

Winnipeg we don't get in each other's ,
way. One's friends over the line prob
ably thought we would not live through
the winter ; and while it is cold , real
I cold , it is free from the moisture ex
perienced in the East. Schools are.
i good as encouraged by the government ;
! the enterprising American promoter
and Yankee drummer see to it that we'
take notice of the latest improvements
and best agricultural machinery. Al
together -we are as near to affairs as
we would be on our ow-u farms in the
States. Winnipeg bears the same rein--
tion to us as Chicago did at home : and
Edmonton with the surrounding region
advances as Omaha did in the days
when we were as young as the boys
yonder. We get together much as they j
did in the granges over the border ; the
government has established experimen
tal schools of agriculture , and progress
in every line is stimulated. This i ? a
great region for grazing. " we hear the
Calgary citizen continuing , and then
with building elevators of wheat at $1
a bushel , many of us find time to go
over to the live stock exhibition in Chicago
cage or visit old friends during the
course of the winter. Every man is
taken for what he is worth , or for what
he can raise ; and in this good air and
on this fertile soil we intend to show
our old friends that we are made of the
right stuff that we are chips of the
old block who built up the American'
West. "

R. G. Dun & Co.'s quarterly review of

COST OF LIVING IS DOWN.
Prices of Commodities Decrease but
Are Still Par from Bottom.
It's cheaper to live to-day than it has
been in thirty-three months. That , at
reast , is the comforting assu''ance just
announced by P.radst reel's.
It. was a year ago Ihis month when
the highest general level of prices for
foodstuffs , textiles , coal : iwl other com
modities was reached. Since then they
have dropped 12..1 per cent. Hie decrease
being fairly evenly distributed from
month to month.
There have been some thirty in
creases , but Bradstreet's records show
that sixty-three products , including
provisions and textiles , cost less than
last March. Of the thirty products
that are higher , some are sugar , tea ,
potatoes , apples , wheat , corn , oats and
barley , soft coal and petroleum.
T'he low price average of this month ,
however , is only comparative , nd if
the drop is limited to 1 per cent a
month , as for the year past , more than
three years must elapse before the low
est recorded price average is reached.
Prices are still 40 per cent higher
than the low level recorded on July 1 ,
1SOG.
In averaging fluctuations of prices
Bradstreet's uses an index figure rep
resenting a compilation of costs of more
than 100 commodities. The record goes
b.aclc sixteen years.
Prices for thirteen staples show that
ten out of the group decreased during
February , one remained unchanged and
two went higher.
The textile group showed the great
est weakness , with provisions a close
second. Live stock and metals ad
vanced and fruits fcemained unchanged.
The first train opening the Florida Easi
Coast railway has reached the temporary
terminus of tli ? road at Knight's Key ,
which is only 122 miles from Havana. By
another year this marvc'lous railroad huilt
on re-enforced concrete arches out over
long stretches of deep sea. connecting the
string of coral isles , or "keys , " ' will reach
Key West , whence through trains will
be carried on great ocean ferries across
to Cuba.
The negotiations between the oflicopg
and employes of the Southern railway in
respect to a reduction of wages finally re
sulted in the statement from President
Finloy that the employes had rejected the
proposed reduction and that the manage
ment , not wishing to act iu an arbitrary
way , had requested the chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Commission to med
iate between them under the provisions of
the Evdman law.
The annual report of the Pennsylvania
railroad , published the other day , shows
a falling off of $2,000.24-4 in the net in

earnings increased . $ ( , . " 72. .n. { . The cause

against other roads are ponding.

For the its appearance in 1896 , and th -
enthusiastic endorsement oi
American People the people has been bestowed
upon Cascarets ever since ,
The sale today is at the
rate of OVER A MILLIOH
BOXES A MONTH , proving that the American people recog
nize , that what is BEST FOR THEM is none too good.
Why this enormous patronage ?
The ansv/er is , simple : Cascarets are pure , clean , sweet ,
mild , fragrant , harmless but effective little tablets for the treat *
ment and ci > re of Constipation and all Bowel Troubles. They
are put up in r $ at little enamel boxes , easy to buy , easy to
carry ( in vest-pocket or purse ) , easy to take and easy of action ,
always reliable , always the same , they "work while you sleep
and wake you up feeling fine in the morning.
They not only regulate tne movement and stimulate the muscular -walls olt
the bowels , but they keep the ENTIRE CANAL CLEAN and antiseptic , forcing-
ctt and destroying all disease germs that breed in the accumulated filth unlest *
promptly and regularly discharged. Therefore , they are a great prevents oft
disease , and may be taken continuously as a. precautionary measure ;
The new Pure Drugs Act , adopted by Congress on June 30 , 1906 , and i -
effect January 1 , 1907 , is a GOOD LAW and means better and PURB1&
drugs for the American. People. We endorse it and will live up to it inSPIRIT -
SPIRIT and LETTER , an easy task , as we have always been actuatei-
by the same principles and no changes are required in our formula or pack-
age.
age.We adopted OUR OWN PURE DRUG LAW in 1896 when the firsV
box of Cascarets came on the market and have lived and worked and pro.
duced under it ever since.
To-dayaftcr a record cf nearly 100,000,000 bocs sold , Cascarets STAND
the greater in PURITY , QUALITY and MEDICINAL MERIT than any
other preparation for Bowel trouble in all the world.
_ -T/JJ"s sh ° uld be a great argument for any one , to try Cascarets AT
ONCE , and be healthier and happier for it. Some people have CHRONIC'
CONSTIPATION with all the horrors derived from it ; others have HABITUAL -
ITUAL CONSTIPATION from carelessness and neglect , but nearly
EVERYBODY has OCCASIONAL CONSTIPATION which if ?
promptly taken care of is liable to result in its degeneration into the worse-
forms and cause great suffering and perhaps rlesth.
