Bad Cough for Weeks. Ttig (.11.410T011 N.W EA• OUR'NR.W Si511814 * THAT MAINWARING * • AFFAIR * by A, Maynard Barbour * *4 * 4 * • It tf: • The cold starts with a little running of the nose, the head becomes stuffed up, but little attention is paid to it, thinking perhaps it will go away inn day or two. You neglect it, and then it gets down into the throat and from there to the lungs, and it is a case of cough, cough, morning, noon and night. However slight a cold you have you should never negleet it. In all possi- bility, if you do not treat it in time, it will develop into bronchitis,,pneumonia, or some other serious throat or lung trouble. Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup is a universal remedy for those who suffer from any bronchial trouble. It stimu- lates the weakened bronchial organs, soothes .and heals the irritated parts, loosens the phlegm and mucous, and aids nature to clear away the morbid accumu- lations, Mrs. 'Wm. Kaye, Talmage, Sask., writes: -"Last winter I took a severe cold whioh settled on my chest.

"Will you state the circunistances under which you became his foster parent?" . "Harold Scott Mainwaring, the elder son of Ralph Maxwell Mainwaring came to Australia within a year after the marriage for which' he was disin herited. His reason for leaving Eng land was not, as many have supposed, on account of his father's severity, but because of the discovery of his wife's infidelity after all that he had sacrificed for ber. He brought her to Australia in the vain hope that, remov- ed from other influences -the influ ence of his 'own brother, in particular, -she would yet prove true to him Within the following year, his so: was borit; but before that event he had fully learned the character of the woman he had married, and he de termined that no child of his should be disgraced' by any knowledge of its mother, or contaminated by association with her. To my wife and myself he confided his plans, and, as we had no children of our own, he pledged us to adoption of his child yet unborn. An old and trusted nurse in our family was also taken into the secret, but not the physician employed on that occa sion, as he was a man of no principle and already In, league with the false wife against, her husband. When the child was born, Mrs. Mainwaring was very ill and the babe received compar- atively little notice from the attendant physician. A dead child, born but a few hours earlier, was therefore easily substituted for the living child of Harold Mainwaring, while the latter was secretly conveyed to my own home. "A few weeks later, the child was privately christened in a small church on the outskirts of Melbourne and the event duly recorded upon the church records. He was given his father's name in full, Harold Scott Mainwaring, but until his twenty-first birthday was know among our acquaintances as Harry Scott, the same name by which he has been known in your city while acting as private secretary to Hugh Malnwaring." "Are you familiar with the letter written by Harold Mainwarihg to his son?" "Perfectly so; he gave it into my keeping on the day of the christening, to be given to his son when he should have reached his majority, If he him- self had not, before that time, claimed him as his child" • 5 YliU FEEL You know well enough when your liver is loafing.

THIS is the longing of the girl who is pale, weak and anaemic. She is lacking in energy and strength, and is so easily tired out that she does not feel like taking outdoor exer- cise or joining others in social gather- ings. The healthy, happy outdoor girls get in the way of leaving her to herself, and she gets lonely, discouraged and des- pondent. The source of trouble is in the condi- tion of the blood, which has become thin and watery, and utterly lacking in nutri- tive qualities. The anaemic condition is shown in the pallor of -the lips, the gums and the eye- lids, as well as in the pale face and angular form. Nature has provided for the purifying of the blood'by having it sent to the lungs periodically to come in contact with the fresh air and take up new oxygen. Unfortunately this plan of nature has been defeated by human beings living too much indoors and breathing over and over again the vitiated air of ill -ventilated • rooms. This is the usual cause of anae- mia, as well as a reason for its continu- ation. The blood gets ever thinner and inore watery, until the human system ,is liter- ally starved. Healthy The digestive system has failed, and your health must go naturally downhill until you can find some means of restora- tion. Fortunately, Dr. Chase's Nerve Food furnishes the vital substances needed for regenerating the entire organism when in a run-down condition. - Gradually and certainly the building - up process is established, and the pure, rich blood created in the system carries health and strength to every part of the body. Weakness and disease, the cause of discouragement, failure and unhappiness, give place to new hopes, new confidence and stronger determination to succeed. The appetite is sharpened, digestion improves, and you find yourself enjoying your meals and taking a new interest in life. As you gain in strength and energy you feel encouraged to keep tip the use of this restorative treatment until thorough- ly restored to health. The ray cheeks and healthful appear- ance of people who have used Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is its strongest recommenda- tion, and accounts for its ever-increasing • popularity. It is for sale by all dealers, 50 cents a box, 6 for $2.75, or by mail from Edman - son, Bates & Co., Limited, Toronto. Look for the portrait and signature of A. W. Chase, M.D., the famous Receipt Book • author, on the box you buy. SheepInclu.strySiteadity GroWifl ••••••••••&..,.. 3 ONE of the chief factors making for the growth of the sheep in- dustry throughout Western Canada is the wider distribution of these animals that is now taking place among farmers all over the three prairie provinces. Southern Alberta has hitherto easily led all the rest of the West in this industry, the production of wool from this district being about two- thirds of the tots'. output of Western Canada; but there aro signs that this disproportion will not always be so great. Not that any falling oft in the number of sheep in Southern Alberta is expected. The industry is expect. ed to maintain its steady growth there. But other parts of the West have equal advantages for the growth of the industry, and since this is realized by farmers considerable de- velopment along that line may be confidently anticipated. • One of Southern Alberta's success- ful sheep breeders nas recently been investigating conditions in the can tral part of the province, and has nothing but enthnilifialc Praise for the abundance of suitable fodder available there, He believes •thou. sands of gold dollars are going to waste every year because of the small number of sheep on the splen- did pastures, and pictures the coun- try in a few years dotted with Baia sheep ranches, , A steady movement of sheep Is not/ taking niece to those parts of Weot. ern" Canada *Where they are most needed. Most of them are finding their way into the hands of small farmers, who have thus a means placed at their dittposal for turning to profit considerable pasture that would otherwise not be utilized.

Towards stn,plying the needs of those near Saskatoon, two thou. sand four hundred liead Were for- warded from Calgary recently, fol. lowed soon after by anothe.: consign- ment of eight hundred heinA. When ever it is possibie to seeure good sheep agents the Saskatchewan Gov- ernment are securing them. The larger breeders in the provinto are being prevailed upon to dispose ot part of their Soaks; and animals are being brought in from Alberta, from the Past and from :nany of the States across the line, But the Govern. mantis efforts aro not confined just to securing high class grado.ewes to supply the needs of farmers, They also enibrate the improvement of the atandard of the flocks by importing registered pure bred stock.

At the present time there are only about two million sheep in the West. Forty times al Many could be easily maintained and there is no reason why this number should not be maintained in time. Now that the old days of poor prices for wool are gone, and co-operative selling is enabling farmers to sell. their Wool to the beet advantage, pr0. fitable prices ire assured, and the greatest obstacle to the development of the industry has bean removed.
