MAJOR GEO. WALKER
Major George Walker, now a familiar
figure in Chatham, Ontario, is one of
the men who went through the terrible
Indian Mutiny. As he says: I am a
veteran of the Crimean War and the
Indian Mutiny, serving under Lord
Roberts. Fierce hand-to-hand fighting
and continual exposure left me a great
sufferer from Rheumatism, so much so
that my legs swelled up, making it ini••
possible for me to walk. My bowels
were so constipated that I was in terri-
ble shape until I began to use 'Fruit-a-
tives.' They relieved rile both of the
Rheumatism and the Constipation.
Today, I enjoy perfect health—no more
Rheumatism or Constipation."
And in another letter, written De-
cember 1st, 1923 (eleven years after),
Major Walker says:" 'Fruit-a-tives' are
keeping me in the best of health and I
shall never be without them."
"Fruit-a-tives" are the famous Fruit
Treatment — intensified fruit juices
combined with tonics—that make you injured
well and keep you well. 25c and 50c—

lilt E. GARDIN ER
iniontreal.--Sounding a note of the M.
strongest possible faith in, and
optimism for, the future of the agri-
culturalist in Western Canada, Col-
onel H. A. Mullins, prominent ranch-
er of Poplar Point, Manitoba, who
arrived in Montreal on Sunday, sub-
mitted to an interview yesterday.
"The situation on. the prairies is
rapidly improving," the Colonel de-
clared, "and the Westerner is taking
courage. Moreover; many of those
who in recent years left the farm
are returning. I consider the tide
in Western Canada is beginning to
turn strongly from the city to the.
farm once more. The three prairie
provinces especially have a tremen-
dous future, and, if due consideration
is given to their particular needs,
the realization of that future cannot
be long deferred.'
Asked to mention some of the in-
fluences which, in his opinion, would
tend to hasten the Golden Age for
Western Canada the Colonel unhesi-
tatingly pleaded first for a better un-
derstanding between East and West.
"The, Western farmer can also do
a great deal to help himself," the
Colonel added. "I consistently advo-
cate that all farmers out there
should go in for' raising livestock as
well as, other stuff, especially for
raising' high-grade stock, and.that
those now in that game should stick
to it. They should also stop crowd-
ing their shipments—and this ap-
plies . not only to livestock but to
other products, such as grain, into
three: months or so of the year.
Then they won't find themselves
forced to take low prices be-
cause of the rush, and things will be
better for the country generally as
well."
,,,Despite many • recent. setbacks,
there is, the Colonel is convinced, a
world market for good Western ;cat-
nited
tie.' The demand from the U.
Kingdom,. be. says, has been constant
and heavyr,aince the, lifting,:. of the
embargo, :though it•hasrbeen:affected
adversely Ay the • ;recent. closing of
Liverpool, Glasgow and some other
ports -on account. of the outbreak of
foot and mouth disease.
Colonel Mullins .is in an excellent
position to speak with authority on
the• cattle situation, for he has been
shipping cattle overseas steadily and
intends to continue. Recently he
shipped 148 he'a'd from Winnipeg to
Montreal. The train, supplemented
by cars containing 100 additional
head from Toronto, left`the Western
city at 10 p.m. on Wednesday -via
Canadian Pacific and arrived at the
stock -yards here on Sunday` morning,
the Colonel following them up by a
passenger train which left Winnipeg
on Thursday night. The shipment
is bound for Dundee. via St. John,
N.B. - The Colonel paid a .warm tri-
bute to the Company for the manner
in which it had handled his consign
