Canada and among the moue tain valleys of British Colum- bia, deserts are being turned into gardens by the application of life- giving waters. Every desert is a potential garden if this one chief necessity is met, though it is not fair to use the word desert or even an arid region, for Al- berta is neither arid- or desert. But nature may often be assisted in her great task of production, and this is what the Irrigation systems of the Canadian West are doing. In Alberta the Canadian Pacific Railway is developing the largest in- 'dividua] irrigation project on the Am- erican continent, with an area larger than the total irrigated area in either Colorado or California. Portions . of a tract of three million acres will be included in this prosperous and fertile so-cailed "dry belt" region. ,The western section is already com- pleted, including sixteen hundred miles of canals and ditches. The `oastern section is in process of de- velopment where twentafive hundred Miles of canals and ditches will be (required for the service, On April 25, 1914, the great irriga- tion dam at Bassano, Alberta, was opened. Built across the Bow River, 'eighty miles east of Calgary, the huge structure, 7,000 feet long, will con• serve the water of the Bow for the eastern section. Another great engin- raraur=ax,,•.,•-,••--•••• .g•uc sxz s veee.tC;+x eering work, which will serve the same tract, is a giant `aqueduct at Brooks, thirty miles east, two milds in length, which carries the waters of a branch canal over a wide valley. One has only to visit this great undertaking of the Canadian Pacific Railway to realize not only its mag- nitude but the results it will, indeed is, producing. Here is one of the smaller radiating ditches, filled with rippling water. On either bank na- ture has responded with a luxuriant growth, and a garden of productivity is the result. The wheat fields ex- rya• � Rm '1r" tend In another direction, showing a fine head of grain after imbibing the thirst -quenching waters, for nature thirsts as, do humans, All kinds of growths prosper—fruits, cereals and garden truck, while dairying and live stock growing flourish wherever there is an irrigation canal. The country is frilling up with what are called dry farmers for the waters ensure a pram - tical certainty of crop. A six-year yield of Marquis wheat on irrigated land ran forty-four bushels to the acre, compared with only 29 on non -irriga- ble lands. Here ' the C.P.R, provide, their Ready -Made Homes, where the settler is assisted generously in es- tablishing a foothold. Through southern British Colum- bia olum- bra the effectof irrigation systems is 1 shown in the flourishing orchardsof g the Okanagan, Arrow and Kootenay, Lakes country, along the Cariboo road and in many another section. Thus this most ancient of natural aids as it is the most modern, dating from the Garden of Eden and continuing to the Alberta irrigation system is one that has contributed to the world's produc- tivity and to Canada's wealth. AUSTRIAN VIEW OF BELGIUM. Teuton Conquest Means Subjection Not Freedom. Austria does not always see Lye to.eye with her ally, Germany. While the Austrian censorship sympathizes with the anti -Russian tendencies of Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg, it does not permit discussion of , the Polish question. As to Belgium, the Socialist Arbeiter Zeitung is permit- ted to write as follows: "Matters are, of course, quite dif- ferent in the west. Even the wildest pettifogger cannot assert that there is a work of liberation to be ac- complished in Belgium and in France; that there are here peoples groaning under foreign rule, and that freedom must be brouht to them by the German sword. In the west the principle which the Chancellor right- ly proclaims for the east would signi- fy not liberation but conquest -not the freedom of peoples from foreign rule but their Subjection to foreign rule. The artificial reference to the long op- pressed Flemish races• cannot deceive one about the true state of affairs. The • question of the national development .of, the Flemish is a Belgian domestic question, which the Fleminlgs them- selves regard as such, and for which Cheaper than Leather—and eth'r &tltntner SOLD By ALL G00, StIOE DEALERS Worn by (very Member of Ihe they seek no help from abroad. Whe- ther Walloons or Flemings, both races feel themselves to be Belgians and see their salvation only within the frame- work of an independent Belgium." , This is to certify that fourteen years ago I got the cords of my left wrist nearly severed, and was for about nine months that I had no use of my hand, and tried other Lini- ments, also doctors, and was receiv- ing no benefit. By a persuasion from a friend I got MINARD'S LINIMENT and used one bottle which completely cured me, and have been using MIN- ARD'S LINIMENT in my family ever since and find it the same as when I first used it, and would never be without it.

A honest citizen of Brussels, re- turning home late at night under artificial stimulation and singing at the top of his voice, was apprehend- ed by a German patrol, says the Ecro Beige. The citizen resisted, and after a scuffle broke away from his captors and fell into the canal. Unable to swim, he began bo call for help without eliciting response from the German policemen, who seemed to think this was -as good a way as any out of the situation, Just as he was going down for the third time the fugitive had a happy thought. With all his remaining strength he yelled . "Vive la France! Vive la Francel" A couple of Germans dived for him at once. He was hauled out, taken to the lockup and the next day, sentenced to three months for ut- tering seditious cries. ,ask for ieCinardb and take no other Evidence of Genius.

The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aicl is at hand the baby may be beyond all human help before the mother realizes he is ill. Summer is the season when diarrhoea, cholera infantum, dysen- try and colic are most prevalent. Any one of these troubles may prove dead- ly if not promptly treated. During the summer the mothers best friend is Baby's Own Tablets. They regu- late the bowels, sweeten the stomach and keep baby healthy.

Germany's eyes are opened, says the Privy Councillor, and she now sees that the nations she admired for so long are no longer admirable in any sense. They are rapidly sinking, , and for Germany they will never again occupy the pedestal on which , Germans in their simplicity placed them. These decadent nations no longer show a trace of manliness. Latin World Sinking. After the war there will be two worlds—the sinking Latin world, and the rising Germanic world. No one is any longer in doubt as to which of these worlds the future belorees. Victory by the Germanic world, says the author, was decreed long be- fore the war. Italy had long been eliminated, and as for France, her power for a long time had only been a matter of tradition. In this lordly fashion Herr Muthesius waves France aside. He is more interested in the future of the Gc -;manic world. What nation is to lead it? England clearly not. With all her riches, England's masses remain raw, without school- ing, and addicted to the lowest pas- sions. A nation like England can never attain to the hegemony of the Germanic world. This will be Ger- many's place, the author assures us, because Germany has dignity and self-control as well as power, be- cause she is alive to her ethical du- ties towards her fellowmen, because oho is determined to got rid of her pie -war faults; and "to eultivate her slumbering virtues to maturity." which burst just above the King's head.
