LAXATIVE
FOR SICK CHILD
"California.Syrup of Figs" can't
harm fender stomach,
liver and bowels.
Every mother realizes,, after giving
her children "California Syrup of
Figs" that this Is their Ideal laxative,
because they love Its pleasant taste
nd It thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out griping.
When cross, Irritable, feverish or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teaspootiful of this harmless, "fruit
laxative," and In a few hours all the
foul constipated waste, sour bile and
Undigested food passes out of the bow
els, and you have a well, playful child
again. When Its little system la full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, Indigestion, colic remem
ber, a good "Inside cleaning" should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions or mothers keep "California
Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 60
cent bottle of "California Syrup of
Figs." which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottla. Adv.

To Cultivate Cheerfulness.
Sydney Smith once gave a woman
a score of recipes for cheerfulness,
and among them was to remember all
the pleasant things said to and of her,
to keep a box of candy on the chim

the hob. Do not give way to melan

HOLD TITLE 18 YEARS
AMERICANS LEAD IN OLYMPIC
QAME8 8INCE REVIVAL IN 1898.
Marked Progress Made In All Forma
of Sport Promises to Aid In Bring
ing About International Peace
Among all Nations.
That the marked progress made In
all forms of sport since the revival of
the Olympic games in 1896, and mainly
brought about through the efforts of
Baron De Coubertln, the Frenchman
who In 1891 organized the internation
al Olympic committee, pron.es to
greatly aid In bringing about interna
tional peace among the nations of the
world. Is becoming more marked each
year.
This Is evidenced by the wonderful
strides of the continental ' nations,
most of which are, In various sports.
outstripping England, whose citizens
were, up to a generator or so ago, the
leaders In most of the games taken up
by white men.
It was England and her athletic al
lies, Ireland and Scotland, which pro
duced the type of men whose feats of
strength, agility and speed 'were the
prototypes of those champtonB of the
old games In Greece, but it remained
for the United States to dim the
"stars" of England, with the result that
since 1895, when England's champions
were totally eclipsed in the historical
athletic events at Manhattan field,
John Bull's standing in the world of
competitive Bport has been none too
firm.
From that time when Young Amer
ica took up track and field games, the
cry of "Westward the march of ath
letic empire takes it way" has been
the slogan to the end that the United
States stands pre-eminent In many
fields of sport. The competitive fever
spread across the whole of Yankee
land and now nearly all the sections of
the country contribute champions at
one sport or another, all anxious and
willing, when the time arises, to take
up the cudgels of competition in be
half of Uncle Sam and with a view of
aiding In the sustaining of his posi
tion at the top of the list among the
nations of the world.
The position of the world's leader In
sport achieved by the United States
and held through a series of competi
tions of track and field battles in
which a gradually increasing number
of armies take part with the holding
of the Olympic series, meet with keen
er opposition with the ever recurring
world's series and the desire for bet
terment by the nations of Europe is
being attested to from time to time
by their pre-emption of teachers for
their athletes In an endeavor to safe
guard their standing In the world of
sport, and aid In putting a stop to the
winning habit of the sons of America,
FRANK GOTCH RETIRES AGAIN
Champion Grappler Spurns Offer of
$25,000 to Ingage In Match With
Foreigners In New York.
Wrestling promoters have been try-

Gotch, the heavyweight . wrestling
champion of the world, to New York
for three bouts with foreign mat stars.
He was offered $25,000. Gotch re
fused the offer and says he will never
wrestle again.
From his Iowa home, Gotch, In re
ply to the New York otter, wrote that
he "positively" had given up wrest
ling forever. ' His wife and he had
gone over the situation, he wrote, and
nothing "will induce me to change
my mind."
The call of the foreigners and the
offer of big New York purses, he said,

again. He suggested that Beell and

WESTERN CANADA
CAME INTO EVIDENCE
AT THE CRUCIAL PERIOD FOR
8UPPLY OF WORLD'8 FOOD
STUFFS. The present demand for foodstuffs
In all parts of the world, and the ex
pense of producing It on high-priced
lands, would make it seem that west
ern Canada came into evidence at the
crucial period. There is to be found
the opportunity that will be a large
factor in meeting this demand. With
Us millions of acres "bf land, easily
cultivatable, highly productive, acces
sible to railways, and with unexcelled
climatic conditions, the opportunities
that are offered and afforded are too
greatrto be overlooked.
There have been booms in almost
every civilized country and they were
looked upon as such, and in the course
of time the bubble was pricked and
was burst But in no country has the
development been as great nor aa
rapid, whether in city or in" country,
as in western Canada.
The provlncea of Manitoba, Sas
katchewan and Alberta-iiave the larg
est area of desirable lands on the.
Nprth American continent, and their
cultivation has Just begun.
Even with a two hundred million
bushel wheat crop, less than eight
per cent, of the land is under the
ploughs, four per cent, being In wheat,
Less than five years ago the wheat
crop was only 71,000,000 bushels. It
is a simple calculation to estimate
that if four per cent, of the available
cultivatable area produces something
over 200,000,000 bushels, what will 44
per cent, produce? And then look at
the immigration that is coming into
the country. In 1901 it was 49,149,
17,000 being from the United States;
In 1906 it was 189,064, of which 57,000
were Americans, and in 1913 it was
about 400,000, of which about 140,000
were Americans. But why have they
gone to Canada? The American farm
er is a man of shrewd business in
stincts. Just like his Canadian brother,
and when he finds that he can sell hta
own farm at from $100 to $200 per
acre and move Into Canada and home
stead and pre-empt half a 'section for
himself, and similarly for all his sons
who are adult and of age upon lands
as rich and fertile as those he left,
and producing Indeed several bushels
to the acre in excess of anything he
has ever known, it will take more
than an ordinary effort to prevent him
from making the change.
!And then, too, there is the American
capital following the capital of brawn,
muscle and sinew,, following It so as
to keep in touch with the industrious
farmer with which it has had dealings
for years back. . This capital and the
capital of farming experience is uo
small matter in the building up of a
country.
Nothing is said of the great mineral
and forest wealth, of which but little
has been touched. '
No country in the world's history
has attracted to its borders a larger
number of settlers in so short a time,
or has attracted so much wealth In a
period of equal length, as have the
Canadian prairies. Never before has
pioneering been accomplished under
conditions so favorable as those that
exist in western Canada today. Ad
