DRUGS EXCITE
THE KIDNEYS,
DRINK WATER
_
Take Salts at First Sign of
Bladder Irritation or
Backache.
The American men and women,
must guard constantly against kid
ney trouble because we often eat;
too much rich food. Our blood is
filled with acids which the kidneys
strive to filter out; they weakenj
from overwork, become sluggish, the
! eliminative tissues clog and the re
j suit is kidney trouble, bladder weak
ness and a general decline in health.
When 'your kidneys feel like
'lumps of lead; your back hurts or
| the urine is cloudy, full of sediment,
ior you are obliged to seek relief two
lor three times during the night; if
| you suffer with sick headache, or
dizzy, nerovus spells, acid stomach, i
or if you have rheumatism when the
weather is bad, begin drinking lots
of good soft water and get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts. Take a tablespoonful in a;
i glass of water before breakfast for a
I few' days and your kidneys may then
j act fine.
Thi9 famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,!
combined with lithia. and has been!
used for years to help flush and
stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-,
iralize the acids in the system ro,
they no longer are a source of Irri
gation, thus often relieving bladder j
; disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot,
injure, makes a delightful efferves
cent lithia-water drink and belongs
in every home, because nobody can '■
make a mistake by having a good,
kidney flushing any time. By alii
means have your physician examine
your kidneys at least tw'ice a year.1

“GREENHORN” FARMER TRIUMPHS AS CHAMPION OATS GROWER
I
L
CHAMPION OATS
LACOMBE, ALTA.—When J. W. |
Biglands arrived in Laeo.nbe eleven
years ago a “greenhorn” fresh from j
England no one paid any particular
attention to him. He settled on a
tract of land, quietly took up farm
ing and minded his own >-siness.
When J. W. Biglands came b
from the International Livestock
and Grain Show held in Chi ago re
cently, the town turned out to re
ceive him. A committee of leading
citizens waited on him. Bands
played. He was a hero. He had
won the oats growing champion
ship of the world.
Biglands’ exhibit of yHiite Vic
tory oats was pronounced the bast
of any variety at the show. He
won over 355 other competitors
from all parts of the United States
and Canada.
Biglands has become a scientific
fanner in the eleven years he has

as worked methodically to pro*
uce more perfect grain. His prize
inning oats was grown from seed
riginally secured from the agri
jltural department of Alberta
niversity. It weighed 46V4
ounds and threshed out 75 bushels

The country contiguous to the
■anscontinental lines of the Cana
ian National Railways has for
ears produced record grain crops.
J
I This ia a gently rolling, light /
| timbered, well watered region.
While settlers get big returns from
grain they are going in more for
diversified farming. Dairying and
livestock raising are popular.
Biglands’ victory this year was
all the more remarkable in view of
the fact that he d< 'eated J. W.
Lucas of Cayley, Alta..^ who had
held the oats champions!.!^ of the
world three years in succession.
Mr. Lucas made up for his loss of
the oats crown by taking first prizs
in rye among several hundred com
petitors.
In addition to taking first prizes
dn oats and rye, Western Cana i
regained the wheat championship
of the world won last year by G.

Wyler of Luseland, Sask., took the
prize. His victory marked Canada’s

1 Noio, were the fear of every trih of
Itlie archipelago. Paying his first
'visit to the village same time niter
jins arrival in .the country, he found
] everyone there drunk, and he and
I ids party barely escaped with their
! lives. Tliny wore the first IndianJ
to learn to make whiskv, from the
wdrite men. and it is from the name
ot their tribe the word “hootch’ or
iginated. A*, on? time the Hooch En
Noos waged war on the Stikines,

I arrival there the tr ms'formation ol

the influence of this Christian couple
I devoted in their Interests, which has
brought the village to Its present
i state, Ur. Young said. At the pros
rnt time there is no drunkenness, nr
witchcraft and no medicine man. Th<
j people are law-abiding, are married
after the law of the land, und arf
1 prosperous. Their village has beer
| cleaned up, and the people live ir
1 neat houses, tend small gardens and
go peacefully about Iheir work.
| Tlie home of Mr. and Mrs. Johnsoi
has been built so that one room 1
large enough to accommodate the vil
i lagers for meetings. Ur. Young and
Ttev. Waggoner held five meetings ir
