But this company has a reputation for making it easy for the right kind of men to get a start at farming, and its soldiers‘ settlement scheme is only an elaboration of itg original "Ready Made Farm" and setâ€" tlement plans, by means of which many of Western Canada‘s most prosâ€" perous farmers are enabled to begin ’ farming in a new (iountry under most Â¥avorable cirecumstances and which ‘has contributed in no small measure to their present success. The soldier settler in these farm colonies has an unusual opportunity to make good. He finds on the farm a comfortable house ready for him to move into with his family and effects. There is a good barn for his horses and cows, his water supply is proâ€" vided for, his farm is fenced, and he has forty acres of land broken and ready for crop which will bring him a revenue during his first season.

The case of Mr. W. Doxtater, R.R. No. â€"4,° Tilsonburg, Ont., illustrates the great value of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills in cases of this kind. _ Mr. Doxtater says:â€""I was troubled with pains throughout my whole body, was exâ€" tremely nervous, did not sleep at night, and was further afflicted with rheuâ€" matism. In spite of different treatâ€" ment this condition persisted, indeed I was growing worse, and had fallen away in weight to 130 pounds and was scarcely able to do any work. Then I began taking Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills, and after a few weeks there was a noticeable improvement in my condiâ€" tion.

People who are tired all the time and neter feel rested, even after a long night in bed, people who cannot regain weight and strength, who feel no joy in living, are in a condition described by doctors as general deâ€" bility. A medical examination might show that every organ in the body is acting normally, but the pallor of the face will usually show that the blood is weak and watery. This is the root of the trouble. Debility is a loss of vitality, not afâ€" fecting any one part of the body but the system generally. The blood goes to every part of the body and the use of a blood tonic like Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills quickly tones up the whole system. _ The first sign of returning health is a better appetite, an imâ€" proved digestion, a quicker step and better color in the cheeks. The rich, red blood, reaching every organ and muscle, carries new health and vigor.

She has experience and capacity. She is a woman of affairs. ‘"Yes‘m! He said if evér we sold you anything we‘d have to whistle for the money."

Classic Turf Events Run and County Cricket Resumed. Sports of all kinds" are enjoying a wonderful boomâ€"a real comebackâ€" throughout the British Isles this seaâ€" son. Many familiar faces of past champions are missing on all sporting fields, but the games are carried along with intense enthusiasm. The king of sports, horse racing, is now in full swing, several of the preâ€"war classics having been run off, while many more are scheduled during the season. County cricket was resumed last month after a stoppage since August, 1914. With the exception of Worcesâ€" tershire, all the counties which comâ€" peted for the championship before the war are playing two games each week, which attract large crowds. While the open championship will be omitted this year, golf is steadily resuming its preâ€"war appearance. Lawn tennis is enjoying a strong reâ€" vival, many of the famous old tournaâ€" ments being scheduled. on their own farms, after what they have gone through, is an inspiring sight.

To see the men at work, for themselves, The colony superinterident is an exâ€" pert agriculturist and it is his duty to assist the colonists with advice as to the best manner of conducting their farming operations. His headquarters is the central control farm, a farm somewhat larger than the rest of the farms in the colony, which is used largely for demonstration purposes, and among other functions, serves as a supply depot for male live stock. The central control farm is situated at a point most conveniently reached by all the settlers in the colony and will no doubt become their chief meetâ€" ing place. Some of the larger implements are available for use by the colonists in common, a set being allotted to every three farms and used by them in turn under the direction of the colony superintendent.

Get a bottle from your druggist today. YÂ¥V question? Why does he sus pect constipation? Because 90% of his patients are suffering from ailments caused diâ€" rectly or indirectly by the action of poisons formed in a sluggish intesâ€" tinal tract. These body poisons are absorbed by the blood and carried all over the body until the weakest organ, unable to withstand the poisonous contact, becomes infected and refuses to act properly. Unfortunately it is usually not until then that the doctor is conâ€" sulted and asked to treat the diseased organ. The surest way of purifying the blood and preventing the formation of these destructive body poisons is to prevent stagnation of food wasts in the intestinal tractâ€"to prevent constipation. Constipation is not a matter to be taken lightly or neglected. Nor is it either suffiGient or safe to take castor oil, pills, salts, mineral waters, etc., in order to "‘force‘"‘ bowel action. _ Such action does not cure constipation, it makes constipation a habit.
