LAST FRAGiViEniiS Oh EfhriRE | Romance in Disappea-ance of Red \ Dots From the Map of Western Canada. A map of western Canada kept in the officer of the Hudson Bay corn- j pany In Winnipeg is sprinkled with tiny red dots. Two centuries and a j half of romance and history focus in these little red dots. When the Hudson Bay company in 1870 surrendered to Canada the vast territory granted to it by Charles II of England, it retained one-twentieth of all the land in the "fertile belt" of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta the North , Saskatchewan river and the international boundary. This one-twentieth was distributed throughout every township and each of these red dots on the map represents an area of from 100 to C40 acres. These lands are today just as they were when the company's first forts were erected on Hudson bay. They are just as they were when the buffalo pastured upon them and Indians and trappers snared or shot fur-bearlng animals in this domain half a century ago. Though now surrounded by' farms, they have never been touched by a plow. They are still Islands of primeval soil in the midst of rich farming districts. The little red dots are disappearing one by one from the map. Each one that disappears means that the land It represents has become a settler's ' farm. Ail the dots represent 3,000,000 acres. The company is rapidly disposing of all its remaining land to settlers, j When the last dot disappears from the map, the last fragment of Hudson *> ?? ? 1 '1 /.mniro tl*H1 hftVC -OctV wnjjnmjr ? uiu ..... disappeared from the North Amen- | can continent. i AMERICA'S FRUIT, THE APPLE People Are Beginning to Show It Proper Appreciation, and Crop Should Be Increased. Americans are coming to treat apples more as a food and less as a between-meals superfluity than they tised to do, yet when the north wind blows and the fireside glows they can't refrain from paying especial at- j tentioa to the question whether there Is a plenty of them. This year, the farm reports tells us, there is not. There are, in the whole country, 1,091,000 barrels fewer than there were in 191S, and almost the same shortage from the crop of 19}6, though we are considerably better off than we were in 1917. That is, we have 24,000.000 barrels this year. That's about one for each family in the country, and each family, not each member thereof, might, if they were ?evenly distributed, have one apple a day. The true lover of apples will never admit this to be sufficient, and .he should not. It is not especially cheering to learn that the country's crop of apples does not tend to increase. Our record crop was In 1912, but we had almost as many in 1896, and the crop In 1895 was greater than that in either of the past four years.

Fourteen billion ordinary toilet pins are produced by American fac* tories annually. American mothers also find it necessary to purchase 720,000,000 safety pins every year. The yearly crop of metal hairpins is a billion and a quarter. Needles of all kinds aggregate 235,000,000 every 12 months. The value of this pin and needle crop is $13,000,000 at the factory. Forty-nine factories are engaged in the manufacture of the articles, the total capitalization being $9,424,000. In 1850 there were only four pin factories in * the United States, having a combined capital of $164,000 and a combined annual product of 297,550 pins. It will thus be seen that the growth of this Industry is something tremendous. A Place for Everybody. "Yes," proudly announced the e?? captain who is now manager of the new $10,000;000 hotel, "all our employees are former service men?every one of them. The desk clerk is an old top kicker, the floor clerks have all been noncoms in charge of quarters, the chef was a mess sergeant, the waiters were all permanent K. P.'g, the house doctor was a base hospital surgeon, the house detective was an intpllieenee Dolieeman, the bell-hops were dog-robbers." "And have you any former M. P.'s?" he was asked. "Yes," he replied. "When there's a good stiff wind blowing we use them as outsfde window washers on the eighteenth floor." Ancient Grains Do Not Germinate. The United States department of agricultural gives a hard knock to the stories about the germination of wheat and other cereals found I wrapped with ancient Egyptian mum- j mies. It says that close investigation proves all such reports to be fictitious. French tests show that grain more than a few years old will not germinate. Tests indicate that when seeds are kept under ideal conditions, wheat, barley ai*d oats may germinate up to eight or ten yeaas, but few if any j grains are alive after 20 years. mkkti.nc; or t.\.\I'.\vi;i:s.

A FAMILY MEDICINE In Her Mother's Home, Says This Georgia Lady, Regarding Black* Draught. Relief From Headache, Malaria, Chills, Etc. Ringgold, Ga.? Mrs. Chas. Gaston, of this place, writes: am a user of Thedford's Black-Draught; In fact, I it was one of our family medicines. I Also In my mother's home, when I was a child. When any of us children complained of headache, usually | caused by constipation, she gave us a dose of Black-Draught, which would I rectify the trouble.. Often in the i Spring, we would have malaria and chills, or troubles of this kind, we would take Black-Draught pretty regular until the liver acted well, and we would soon be up and around again. We would not be without it, for it certainly has saved us lots of doctor bills. Just a dose of BlackDraught when not so well saves a lot of days in bed." Thedford'a Black-Draught has been In use for many years in the treatment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which it now enjoys is proof of its merit If your liver Is not doing its duty, you will suffer from such disagreeable symptoms as headache, biliousness, constipation, indigestion, etc., and unless something Is done, serious trouble may result Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a valuable remedy for these troubles. It is purely vegetable, and acts in a prompt and natural way, regulating the liver to its proper functions and cleansing the bowels of impurities. Try it. Insist on Thedford's. the original and genuine. E 79 I J. P. Carter B. D.
