It was not gen­ erally known that the law recogniz­ es as theft the (keeping of found ar­ ticles.

In Manitoba a scheme is be­ ing considered for this purpose which has not yet been perfected. The idea has been conceived of starting a muskrat ranch of about seven thousand acres which ought to. employ some hundreds of men. Be­ sides giving employment to many men it will be putting into profitable use a large territory hitherto unpro­ ductive. 15 YEARS AGO January 6, 1921 Mrs. Richard Crocker, of passed away during Tuesday at the age of 85 years.

But people advanced in life need not despair, Doan’s Kidney Pills help restore the tone and vigor of the urinary organs, strengthen the kidneys, ease the aching back, and allow elderly people to enjoy the rest they have earned, free from the pain and discomfort due to imperfect or impaired kidney action. While Mark. Twain was pre-emin­ ent as a humorist and philosopher he was also a great humanitarian and wrote—“I am quite sure that I have no race prejudices, and I think I have no color prejudices nor cast prejudices, nor creed preju­ dices. Indeed, I know it. I can stand any society.. All that I care to know is that man is a human be­ ing—that is enough for me; he can­ not be any more.” TO BE GIVEN AWAY to subscribers of the Times-Advocate l FIRST PRIZE $5.00 FIVE PRIZES OF $2.00 EACH TEN PRIZES OF $1.00 EACH 1]1 These prizes will be given to the subscribers of the TIMES-ADVOCATE who pay scriptions before February 15.
