"Vie have had a splendid winter1* In Western Canada. ( , Canada's inrush this year is •Wonder­ fully great and considerably ahead of any previous year. It is always inter­ esting to those who contemplate mov­ ing to read expressions of opinion from those living in the country, it j is therefore our pleasure to reproduce i the following, written to an Agent of the Government and forwarded to the Immigration Branch of the Depart­ ment of the Interior at Ottawa: Birch Hills, Sask.. Canada, Feb. 1, '05. j Dear Sir:--I take pleasure in drop- j ping you a few lines to let you know [ how we are .getting along up here and j how we like the place. We have been j here, close on to a year now and think ; the place is fine. We have been out every day this winter working in*the ; bush getting out logs for buildings, j etc., getting rails for fencing. We have not suffered with the cold as ' much as we did in Chicago. My lit­ tle boys are out every day with their sleighs having a good time. The low­ est the temperature has been this ' winter is 34 below, and it is very still, ; Bo wind. r' j We had a splendid summer. We I put up about. 50, tons of hay and will i have about 30 tons to sell. Hay brings $8 per ton now and j will be ! higher in the spring. We have 20 I acres broke jind ready for crop. We worked on the Can. Nor. Ry. for j awhile this suiiimer and am just 3 i miles from the R. R. and town site, j The. steel is "ail laid to within 2 miles of the river and we often see ; the train bringing supplies for the Bridge. My wife's people are coming up about May. I wish you would write them and if there should be any one coming to Prince Albert that could do with a half a car let them know. The • homesteads are all taken up within 12 miles of us. I often think if this land were only in the States what a rush there would be. It is the fich- < est land and most productive I ever ' saw, and the climate is O. K. I know that people back there that I write to do not believe toe when I write them what a splendid winter ; we are having. They think we are all frozen up. We have only about 8 Inches of snow, and there are cattle j on the range that have not been rounded up this winter. Day after day the Ther. raises up to 50 and 60, and ; I don't believe we have had a day j this winter that it stayed at zero. I My wife says th?t we used to think that zero was cold in Chicago. But we don't mind it one bit. Christmas night we went out and drove 5 miles with dur 3 little boys, it was 20 be­ low, and there was not a whimper from any one of them; I'd hate to do it in old Chicago. Well, I guess l will close, and you can tell any one in the U. S. that they cannot do better than come to the Prince Albert District. I remain. Yours truly, (Signed) J. D. Head. Miserable Conditions Of body and: mind, always result from a torpid liver, which leads to bile poisons being absorbed into the blood, and poisoning all the nerves and tis­ sues. This dreadful state, some of the symptoms of which are headache, bit­ ter taste, nausea, lack of appetite, yellow complexion, constipation, etc., can be quickly cured by taking Dr. Caldwell's (laxative) Syrup Pepsin. It relieves the strain on your liver, relaxes the tightened bowels, purifies the blood, strengthens the stomach, and makes it as clean as a whistle. The result is perfect health, and free­ dom from pain an.1 discomfort. Try it. Sold by all druggists at 50C and $1.00.' Money back if it fails. • NATURE'S GREAT DISINFECTANT.

Recent excavations in the Place de la Bastile„ Paris, for the extension of the Metropolitan, the new Paris subway, have led to the discovery of the main postern and drawbridge of the historic prison fortress. Hewn stone and rusted iron and cannqn balls have also been unearthed and taken to the Muse© Ca ma valet. The gate itself, will be carefully excavated. All the stotoes will be numbered and the postern will be reconstructed on the avenue Henri, IV.,. where a part Of one of the towers of the Bastiie has already, been set up. Every housekeeper *nouid Kaow that If they 'will buy Defiance JolJ Water Starch for laundry use they Will save not only time, because It never sticks to the iron, hut because each package contains 16 oz.--one full pound--while all other Cold Water Starches are put. up In %-pound pack­ ages. and the price is the same, l'> cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chem­ icals. If your grocer tries to jell you a 12-oz. package i» is because he has a stock on hand wbich he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows, that Defiance Starch has printed on every package In large let­ ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand De- fiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron stick­ ing. Defiance never sticks. Intiat on Getting It Some grocers say they don't keep Defiance Starch. This Is because thej have a stock on hand of other brands containing only 12 oz in a package, which they won't be able to sell first, because Defiance contains 16 os. for the same money. Dp you want 14 os. instead of 12 os. for same money? Then buy Defiance Starch. Requires no cooking. The April "Arena" is an unusually able number.

He had served the Tribuna of Rome for many years and did not like to give up his work, but the intro­ duction of the telephone increased the weight of his duties to such an extent that he thought it best to retire in fa­ vor of a younger man. Nature's great disinfectant is sun­ light. It is j a most interesting fact that this wonderful light, which pro­ motes the growth of usefiU plants and sustains animal life, at the same time destroys by its very brightness all sorts of germs which are brought in contact with it. It is th fact alone which renders the earth inhabitable. Germs develop with such marvelous rapidity that they would quickly over­ whelm us by their very numbers if not constantly destroyed by the sun. A little computation will readily show this. Som^ germs are capable of such rapid multiplication that they may double every fifteen minutes under favorable conditions of temperature and food supply. Estimate the num­ ber of germs which might be pro­ duced in a single day of twpnty-four hours, or ninety-six doublings. The number would be more than thirty- two thousand billion billions, or suf' ficient to cover eighty thousand square miles»a foot deep, or -fill a space of more . than fifteen cubic miles., The increase cf a minute or- plicatidn of this simple curative meas­ ure, nik only for the'purpose of rescu­ ing the victims of pulmonary tuber­ culosis from the certain fate which awaits them, but as an essential measure for protecting the public health. „ Health Observations Abroad, One of the most pitiful sights ifci England is to see young women actV ing as barmaids in the public drin^ ing places, and to see women elbow^j ing their way to the bar and then stand there, shoulder to shoulder with a crowd of coarse, half-drunken men, and with them partake freely of in­ toxicating liquor. Unfortunately, this painful sight is not at all rare, and it is quite common to see drunken wom­ en reeling about in the streets. What a sad commentary on our modern civ­ ilization. In Copenhagen it is the custom to dross young schcolgirls so that their arms are almost or entiielj- bare, even: in weather when Americans appre ciafp their overcoats..

It is clearly evident, then, that in order that our houses should be kept free trom germs, they, like our bodies, should be made full of life. The shutters should be opened, the curtains raised, and the light admit­ ted to every room in the house, clos­ ets Included, so that the disinfecting power of light may be exercised in every nook and corner of the dwell­ ing. Half the ills we hoard within our hearts are ills because we hoard them. --Barry Cornwall, \ Why It Is the Best Is because made by an entirely differ* ent process.

PAINFUL PERIODS Suggestions ow to Find Relief from Such Suffering. Miss Nellie Holmes iwrmti Airs./iIIIe Hart . Occupation and Tuberculosis. The influence of occupation. as a cause of consumption is shown by Dr. J. M. French in the Medical Exam­ iner. | At least four classes of employ­ ments ments have a tendency to favor the development of tuberculosis. They are: 1. Sedentary employments , in ill- ventilated apartment^, involving con­ finement in impure air, and other un­ wholesome conditions. This class of occupations is typified by the so- called swet-shops'for the manufacture of various articles of clothing. 2. Employments which necessitates the inhalation of irritating dust and noxious vapors. Such are those of stone-cutters, bleachers, matchmak> firs, file-cutters, grinders, engravers, etc. 3. Employments which involve the overuse or abuse of certain muscles. 'Vhese are athletes, prize fighters, gymnasts, wrestlers,, professional bi­ cycle riders, ball playeijs, etc., a large proportion of whom die.,eventually of phthisis. 4. Employments which involve un­ due familiarity with iritoxicants. These are those connected with man­ ufacture and sale cf wine, beer and the various classes of alcoholics. Tatham's tables'show that, talcing ihe average mortality from consumption at one hundred, that of publicans is one hundred and forty, of brewers one hundred and fcty-eight and of bar­ tenders two hundred and fifty-seven. Overcoming Hereditary Tuberculosis. Much is being said nowadays re­ specting the cut-of-door treatment of tuberculosis, a disease which, while rarely directly transmissible by hered­ ity, is one the predisposition to which is in the highest degree hereditary. It has been clearly shown by numer­ ous experiments in various parts of the United States that out-of-door life with regular hygienic habits, irre­ spective of altitude or special climat- sumptive would certainly have pfe- ven'ed the onset of the disease. The liquor curse is undermining the physical stamina of the Swedish race. Liquor drinking among the working classes is almost universal. One- third of their population die before the age of twenty-one, and one-fourth of those who live, are rejected from military service on account of phys­ ical disqualifications. BREAKFAST BREADS.

Robert Strange, Bishop Coadjutor or East Carolina, puts great faith in the efficacy of clerical visits. He thinks that a call may often do more good than a sermon. He urges strong­ ly upon young clergymen the import­ ance of frequent visits to the people's homes. "Sometimes," said Bishop Strange recently, "a clergyman's visit is un­ welcome. That, though, should nqt discourage him. Where he is most unwelcome, there, oftentimes, he is most needed'. So he Should take in good part every slight, every rebuff." Bishop Strange smiled.

It .Is .not to be denied, observes a j. d'seerning critic, that science is tend­ ing. more than anything else, if not io the degradation, at least to the "Grecifieation," of the language. It began with such comparatively harm­ less words as "telegraph" and "mi­ croscope." The intention was good. It was to admit into the laiisuage no words which could net show an hon­ orable pedigree. So science proceeds, whenever it wants a new word, to ling another change on a Certain lim­ ned number of Greek roots, which* 1nust. sooner or, Jater, give out. Some day all the possible permutations of "tele" and "phono" and "mega" and ' graph" and "photo" and "scope" will lo exhausted, and science will be confronted with a new and baffling problem.
