HÉ v -.1 igj KEGIHA IS PROGÜESSIVE i PROP. E. R. DOXEE, OF REGINA COLLEGE, WRITES. XJg|gf A Glowing Description of Saskat- j chewan's Beautiful Capi tal City. Coming into Regina a/few weeks Vgo by the C.N.R., down which line (I had been over- Sunday, when !^d)oiit 40 miles dut, - I saw from the 'car window the great plain in which .'Regina is situated, dotted for miles Nwith stocks of grain and marked in imany places with the smoke f r ^™- ! threshing outfits,--a beautiful v Scene, and perhaps only paralleled, •in this Western country. In this .plain is Regina, truly a prairie •city, for on its site no tree grows [naturally, but only as they* have .'been planted. From the-top of the * cupola of the Parliament buildings, 'possibly one hundred and fifty feet 'from the ground, you can survey 'the country for a radius of many miles, and only in the ncrth-eaat can any bluffs and trees be seen, - tod in the S.W. only is the horizon line broken, where the Dirt Hills can, he seen about forty miles away. These disadvantages of position bring problems, and one of the greatest problems here is drainage and sewerage disposal. » For natural drainage there is pnly the winding prairie creek, the Wascana, or Pile of Bone, But with the aid of the immense sewer- digging machines (for there is literally literally not a stone of rock m the >oil on the site of Regina) trunk jewers have been put in to take the vwage to the disposal works where the city's sewerage is disposed of by Regina.ha-s. now, too, a. most am pie supply of the very best drinking water, procured from springs at Boggy. Creek, several miles from the'city. There is, too, a native article in which Regina can equal any other place dn the world, and that is its mud; In stickiness and, at the same time,' strange as it may seem, in slipperiness, it cannot be surpassed. But this has proved a blessing in disguise, for the citl- | zens have seen that if the city is to grow the mud must be eliminated ; so, for the past four years the work of paving his gone rapidly forward, and now there are about thirty-five miles of paved streets in the city.. These natural disadvantages 'have made the citizens feel that they can only have a beautiful city by their own efforts, and this has produced a civic pride seen in the well- cleaned streets, in the boulevards planted with trees and sowed with grass, by the city, as the new streets are opened up, seen also in the parks and public play-grounds' of the city." During the past 6um=- mer vacant lots throughout ^ the city have been plowed at the city s expense, and in consideration of a Bma.11 fee have been allotted to those who wish to- cultivate them, the only proviso being that flowers were to be planted next to the street. These have both benefitted those who cultivate the lots and has also beautified the city. The fact that this is the the capital capital city accounts for some of this civic spirit, and the government and the - city are rjoining hands in this development. A tract of over ^our hundred acres east and south of the parliament buildings is being surveyed according to plane of Sir Thomas Maw son, the great town- planning expert of England, and in this will be embodied some of Yottr monty back if Gin PiUs do not cure. =--?^SS£S3SSS Until the Kidney* way, no cure i* possible., Gin Pills From all Drugglets. wets. per box, - 6 for >2.50 or direct from loi Hatianl Drag wi Cheated Co- of Cassia ÏMM.

Some' beginning, beginning, has been- made in this, direction direction along 16th Aye., the northern boundary of the government property, property, whe~e in the distance of half a mile these buildings have "been built or are in process of erection, viz., Grand Trunk Pacific Hotel, Regina College, Normal School, St. Chad's Anglican College and Clergy House'. v ' Where formerly you .looked down a level, and straight^street and over the level prairie to -'eternity,'- as some- one has, expressed it, plans are now being made and carried out to have* public buildings close up these streets and thus give an impression of protection rather than of being exposed to-' all the winds op the prairie. The city, besides besides owning a large area, of inside property, owns and operates its own street oàrs, electric lights and water systems, and it .levies a property property tax that approximates closely closely to the single tax, which goal the system eventually has in view. Although Regina is situated on' the prairie, you must not suppose that there are no resorts and means of recreation near at hand. Last Mountain Lake, a beautiful sheet of water seventy miles long and from one to four miles wide, about twenty-five miles from Regina, has its devotees at the different beaches, viz., Lumsden, Regina, Saskatchewan, and Arlington. This lake is of peculiar formation, for it is simply a great gash in the prairie worn away by the action of water through the ages, and . here, two hundred feet below the level of the prairie lies the lake. On its sides are shelving ridges and a heavy growth of timber, which, affords beautiful sites for summer cottages. cottages. Similar in formation are the lakes in the Qu'Appelle valley on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway about forty miles from Regina to the north east, and here at old Fort Qu'Appelle and the Katepwa Lakes are many beautiful summer homes. I have said that the West has its problems, and there seems to be something in the very atmosphere which helps men to think clearly and face the social problems of our modern civilization, and from this middle west, I believe, will come the forces that will almost revolutionize. revolutionize. our present social, political and church life. In Regina our greatest problem is the foreign population, ten thousand thousand in number, without whom it would be impossible to carry on the .programme of civic improvements, for they furnish the. unskilled labor for the city-. Many of these are well-to^do, and many are intelligent intelligent men, but, too, in the crowded houses of the East End are the beginnings beginnings of slums- in our fair city. The Y.M.C.A. made an attempt last' winter to Oànadianizé these people by providing night schools in English, and this year the school board has seen its responsibility and decided to furnish thé night schools to those who wish to avail themselves of them. The school board also provides in the schools medical inspection, school " nurse, dental clinic, for poor children, supervised playgrounds and skating rinks, and it is the intention, to make the public school the civic centre of the community. This past summer has been a most beautiful oiie, few severe storms, no excessive rains, plenty of glorious glorious sunshine (and I believe, from >his a great deal of western optimism optimism originates) warm days and cool nights have made up a great combination, and have made fop the farmer one of the most successful seasons he has ever known. I have sometimes wondered whether whether this great expanse of sky, whether whether these glorious sunsets and the boundless prairies, compensate for the hills and trees of Eastern Canada, Canada, and down in my heart I believe believe that the compensation has become become almost complete. The West is not entirely imbued with the materialistic spirit, nor is it entirely selfish and self-centered, but there is a sympathetic, helpful, and neighborly spirit shown both on the prairie and in the town. Mrs. Nellie McClung in her reading, reading, "The Spirit of the West," given recently in Regina, showed perhaps in exaggerated form what she believed was the Western spirit when, after telling the story of the disgruntled Orangeman, she summed summed up : "Where can you see such a spectacle' as a Roman Catholic priest at àn Orange walk ? Where can you hear a. Yankee .leading in singing 'God Save the King V Nowhere Nowhere but in Canada ; nowhere but in .the.great North-West."

Unless the inflammation is checked it passes rapidly from the throat or nose to the bronchial tubes and then to the lungs. You can't make new; lungs any more than you can make new fingers or toes, but you can cure Catarrh. The surest cure consists of breathing breathing in the healing balsamic essences of CATARRHOZONE, which is simply a medicated vapor so full of rich curative curative properties that every trace of Catarrh vanishes before it. "The soothing piney vapor of Ca- tarrhozdne is the most powerful medicine medicine I ever used," writes Mrs. Edmond J.. Christine, of Saskatoon. "Every ireath drawn through the Inhaler sends a grateful feeling through the air passages of the nose and throat. Catarrhozone cured me of frightful leadaches over the eyes, relieved me of a stuffy feeling in the nose, and an rritable hacking cough that had been the bane of my life for a year. My igeneral health is greatly improved, my appetite and digestion are considerably considerably better than before. Catarrh- ozone has been the means of giving me such health as I always desired, but never possessed." Even though catarrh has a firm hold on you, and affects your throat, nose or ears, you can thoroughly cure it with Catarrhozone.

An Irish M.P„ was telling a story of a man who complained to three friends, an Englishman, a Scotchman, Scotchman, and ah Irishman, that his servant was constantly breaking china. "What do you think I. ought to do with her?" he asked. The Englishman said,. "Dismiss "Dismiss her." But as she was otherwise otherwise an excellent servant her master master was unwilling to do that. "Then take it out of her wages," suggested suggested the thrifty Scot. "That wouldn't wouldn't do much good," was the reply, "for her wages are less than the amount of damage she does." "Then raise her wages," said the Irishman promptly. In nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand, water, "if applied in sufficient quantity, will eventually quench any fire. But the thousandth case, when wate^ not only proves ineffectual, but actually actually kindles and nourishes the fire, is a perfectly possible occurrence. occurrence. The Boston Herald prints an account of an extraordinary fire at sea that shows how helpless is man in fighting the flames when deserted deserted by his ally, .water. When the freighter Hardy steamed steamed out of Le Treport, France, she carried, besides the mineral water in her hold, a number of small wooden cases marked "metallic sodium." The Channel was rough. The vessel rolled and pitched violently. The captain saw that the ship was listing to port, and suspecting that the cargo was shifting, sent a boatswain boatswain below to investigate. As the boatswain entered 'the hold, he saw that several casés of mineral water had broken, and that the water was swishing about in the hold. Then suddenly he saw one of the wooden cases marked "sodium" burst into flame. Immediately he gave the alarm, and the crew rushed to their fire stations. The captain directed the men to play the hose into the hold; As the first stream of water struck the burning case,there were several explosions, as package after package package within the case caught fire. By this time two other cases of sodium had broken open, and their contents, contents, as they came in contact with the water from the hose, burst into flames. -■ The crew could not believe their eyes. The more water they poured on the fire, the mo-re intense grew the conflagration. Then suddenly two cases flew into the air, crashed against the overhead beams, and spread; out in sheets of fire, the smaller pieces dropping back only to- bounce and dance about, hot balls of flame, in the half-swamped hold. Panic-stricken, the crew dropped the hose lines and fled above decks. But the captain. ordered the eg,rgo flung into the sea, and led his men back into the hold. They succeeded succeeded in throwing several of the cases overboard. But as each case hit the waves, it rebounded into the air, a flaming ball. The superstitious c^ n v; wa? f°'<t becoming unmanageable, and tl& captain saw that, in any case, he must abandon the ship. He ordered ordered the crew to the boats not one moment too soon, for as the boats rowed away from the blazing hulk, several loud explosions came from the hold. Then there was one mighty detonation ; the freighter broke in two, and plunged out of sight. The origin of the fire waSj of course, in the sodium. Sodium is a peculiar metal, which oxydizes rapidly rapidly when water touches it, and flames as soon as the water becomes warm. According to the chemist's classification, it is the second member member of the alkali group that includes includes lithium, potassium, rubidium and caesium. All of these elements have the same characteristics as sodium in „ greater or less degree. The sodium should have been , shipped shipped in hermetically " sealed tin cans enclosed in wooden cases. But the rolling of the ship and the careless stowing of the cargo broke open some of. these cases, and the sodium, sodium, which was not properly packed, was liberated.
