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

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. But

Billions of Pins and Needles.
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.

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.

You Do More Work, *
You are more ambitious and you get more
enjoyment out of everything when your
blood is in good condition. Impurities in
the blood have a very depressing effect on
the system, causing weakness, laziness,
nervousness and sickness.
GROVE'S TASTELESS Chill TONIC
restores Energy and Vitality by Purifying
and Enriching the Blood. When you feel
its strengthening, invigorating effect, see
how it brings color to the cheeks and how
it improves the appetite, you will then
appreciate its true tonic value.
GROVE'S TASTELESS Chill TONIC
is not a patent medicine, it is simply
IRON and QUININE suspended in Syrup.
So pleasant even children like it. The
blood needs Quinine to Purify it and IRON
to Enrich it. These reliable tonic properties
never fail to drive out impurities in
the blood.
The Strength-Creating Power of GROVE'S
TASTELESS Chili TONIC has made it
the favorite tonic in thousands of homes.
More th*n thirty-five years ago, folks
would ride a long distance to get GROVE'S
TASTELESS Chill TONIC when a
member of their family had Malaria or
needed a body-building, strength-giving
tonic.*The formula is just the same today,
and you can get it from any drug
