Russian Family Making Good
Last week I had a letter from a
mother of five, thirty miles away.
They are Russians who started in
here seven years ago with nothing
and they are getting along. Both
the fathex* and mother escaped from
Russia by way of wChina during the
Revolution. They can tell some
true and terrible-tales of those dark
days. The fathei* saw one hundred
Christian Russians buried alive in a
single grave because they would not
renounce theii* faith in God. The
mother is a skilled seamstress but
after coming to. this country, she
;liad to make their clothes by hand.
Till last fall she managed to save
enough pennies to pay the first in
stalment on a sewing machine.
Some friends in Ottawa heard about
her and they put in a good lick on
that machine too.
This is part of her letter:
“Dear Doctor:
How are you getting along,
are fine. We thank God for
thing.
With my sewing machine
lots of sewing. One family
for near here all summer,
have no mother. When I go thfere
the oldest girl, she have everything
so clean and neat. Sihe is thirteen.
I am sorry for them. They are
poor. .So 1 sew for them. Here
a list of things I sew.”
(There followed the names
twenty-three articles, all the way
from a boy’s coat for $1.00 to a
dress for 10c.)
“The money is w>hat I charge
people for making clothes. I do not
want money for this family. Blit
the Bible School in Sexsmith, I like
to have money to give to it and 1
have none. May be you know some
good Christians, they send five dol
lars to the Bible School to pay foi*
this sewing. That make them feel
good, and me too.. Maybe not five
dollars, if they only can send two or
three.

Fire Destroys Winter Fodder
This summer
When the first
the leaves and
fires went wild
high southwest
us every fall,
many of the creeks and wells were
dry. Time and again the settlers
were called out to fighit the roaring
menace. Some of them lost all
their winter hay, stacked down on
the river meadows, others loa|
strawstacks an'd granaries full of
new grain.
There was one week the whole
country lay under a pall of smoke.
Away to the north a bad. bush
crept down off the hills and
the settlement. Threshing was
over, new strawstacks dotted
‘fields, many of them with a gran
ary in their lea. Men were called
out and stationed on every stack and
along the strips of bush through
which the fire was roaring. Every
truck in the country, was comman
deered, and night and day they went
roaring through, getting the precious
grain safely out to the elevators,
sixty miles away.
Then a bad bush fire along the
highway threatened to cut off their
escape, but ithe men from the White
mud went up and working in shifts,
kept the road open. The trucks
needed no lights at night running
through -that -furnance.
.Back in the woods near the,high
way fire had isolated one family.
The old mother and the girls were
home alone that black Sunday morn
ing when the fire roared in upon
them from the west. The men of the
household were all away, three
miles across the hills trying to save
theii* winter’s hay, stacked near a
small lake. The mother and girls
had nothing with which to move
their .furniture out except a clumsy

Dozens of customers are reporting production of from 70 to
over 80/ per cent, on Health Minerals, mineralized (Feed following
“Wormfood” and if you come into our office we can give you the
names or take you to these customers,
Here are some reports,—
1. From 70 to 7'2 dozen eggs per week from 175 pullets as
high as 15i0> eggs in one day. LESS feed used when using Health
MINERAL in the Feed-, Before using mineral in the feed produc
tion was good over 50 per cent, but used 1,% bfugs mixed feed per )
week. After using mineralized feed production increased to over
70 per cent., and only, one bag mineralized feed was used.
2. Production over 80 to 87 per ccnt.They’re laying too much,
I don’t know how to stop them. As high as 200 eggs from 230
pullets. 'Cannibalism was also stopped after using Health Mineral.
3. After changing directly) over from ordinary commercial feed
to your mineralized feed my production climbed from 50 to 7i5 per
cent, in three weeks and still .gaining, I think they will lay 85 per
cent, by the way they look in another week. This is the most eggs
we ever got this time of the yiear.
The new discovery “Wormfood” and Health Mineral will give
you just as increased results in Hogs and cattle as it .will in Poul
try. Increased vigour" and thriftiness and less feed per pound of
gain, increased milk production, less trouble with mastitis, caked
udders abortion in cattle anemic and runty pigs.
Our soil is contaminated with worm eggs and our feed defic
ient in minerals. Use ‘‘Wormfood’’ for Hogs and Poultry and
and Health mineral for hogs, cattle and poultry. Oet those hogs
away at 5 months like you used to do years ago. It Can be done
again if you get on the right track.
