The Famous Pedestrian
Gentlemen:—
"I was a martyr to catarrh of the
head, throat and stomach. I was no had
the doctora feared consumption. I
tried many physicians and medicines.
A friend suggested Psychino. 1 tried
it and it was the only thing ever did
nye any good. I art now perfectly well.
It is the greatest remedy the world
has ever known, I do not need it for
my health now but I use it as a
strengthener for my walking matches. I
owe muck of my physical endurance to
Psychine."
JAMES REYNOLDS,
st Pout Hope, Ont.

catarrh of the head, throat or etomach
in the world. It is a wonderful tonic
and strengthener of run down system,

Dr. W. J. MILNE
AsksUs to Print It,
To relieve the worst forms of Rheu-
matism take a spoonful of the follow-
ing mixture after each meal and at
bedtime :
Fluid Extract Dandelion, cne•half
ounce : Compound Kagan, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists, and
are easily mixed by shaking them well
in a bottle. Relief is generally felt
from the first few doses.
This prescription, states a well-
known authority in a Cleveland morn -
int; paper, forces the clogged -up, in-
active kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid, which causes
Rheumatism.
As Rheumatism is rot only the most
painful and torturous disease, but dan-
gerous to life, thin simple recipe will
no doubt be greatly valued by many
sufferers here et home., who should at
once prepare the tnixture to get this
relief,
It is said that a person who would
take this prescription regularly, a dose
or two daily, or oven a few times a
week, would never have serious Kid-
ney or Urinary disorders sr Rheuma-
tism.
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which real-
ly relieve are scarce, indeed, and when
you need it you want it badly. Our
druggists here say they will either
supply the ingredients or make the
mixture ready to take, if any of our
readers so prefer.
Grow Ontario Wheat.
Some of our farmers do not seem to
realize the itnpo•tance of the success of
Ontario millers in blending Ontario
and Manitoba Wheat, In a word, it
means, a growing demand for these
blended flours, a steady market for
Ontario wheat, better prices to the far-
mer for his wheat, and lower prices for
bran and shorts.
All of these mach -wished -for requite'
are due solely to the efforts of our
millers. They first prove 1 to their
own satisfaction that blended flours
were better than flours made of a sin-
gle variety of wheat. They proved by
repeated tests, that a blend of Ontario
wheat and alittle western wheat, made
better bread than Manitoba "hard
patent flour," and alga made better pies
oake and pastry than Ontario "pastry
flour." This is true bepanse blended
flours contain the good qualities of both
kinds of wheat.
One of the largest bakeries in Toron-
tried a blended flour for making
"homemade bread," and in a short time
they where working night and day in
a vain endeavor to supply the demand.
In the Maritime Provinces, blended
flours have driven the Western flours
out of the market in some instances,
The millers have done more than
their part in proving to the people that
blended flours are best, It is doubtful
if our farmers realize how much they
can help in restoring the price of Ont -

Now is the chance of your lifetime to get
a cheap Suit of Clothes. As we have a few
Winter Tweeds left we are going to clear

ado wheat to its old figure. What our
farmers should do is to atop buying
Western wheat flours and Use only
Ontario blended flour's, This would
create such a demand for Ontario
wheat that the price would soon go up,
and our farmers of course would get all
the benefit,
'Poen, too, this ''ould help our dairy-
men and stocklnen, ']'he prime cause
of bran and aborts selling for such ri-
diculously high prices, has been that.
our local mills were grinding little
wheat' and consequently there were
none of 'these feeds for sale at the mills.
They had to be brought frotn Manitoba
and Alberta, end by the time the
freight was added to the aloe profit
which the Western millers demanded,
the price was out of all proportion to
what it should he, By buying blended
flours and keeping our mine running to
their full capacity, there will he plenty,
of bran and shorts to sell at very much
less titan they cost to -day,

How to Secure Farm Help.
During the past four year's the Sal-
vation Army ]las succeeded in bring-
ing to Canada a good class of farm
laborers and domestic servants.
Notwithstanding the protest made
in some sections of the country, that
there is a surplus of labor, the army
officials find there is still a great de-
mand for agricultural laborers, and
they have found it necessary to charter
several ocean liners to supply the need,
The call for farm rebores comes from
all parts of the Dominion, and now
that the Ontario Government has de-
cided not to continue supplying farm
help, and as it is likely that immigra-
tion to Canada will not commence un-
til late in April, the demand for set-
tlers coming out under the army aus-
pices will be vary great, The first
chartered ship will he the Keneington
sailing from Lit•erpool Feb. 20th for
British Columbia points, followed by
the Southwark on March 5th for On-
tario points; the Ionian from Glasgow,
and the Kensington from Liverpool 011
March 26th.
Farmers who have not made appli-
cation for help for the corning season
ere advised to write for application
forms and further particulars to Lieut. -
Col. Howell, 20 Albert St„ Toronto.
