Total Crop Failure.
"There will be almost u total failure
of all grain crops in thnt province, so
I was informed by government offi
cials. Their statistics show that there
were put under cultivation in that dis
trict 2,600,000 acres of wheat, and
other grains, in tho South Alberta
disti:"t. and out of that vast acreage
there will bo harvested less than
c.000,000 bushftls, while in- norma,
years there would be harvested more
than ten times that number :,f bush
els. The extreme dry weather
drouth-burned the crops.
"I spent ten days in the Calgary
district, and while there traveled al!
over it, malting inquiries in all direc

After Constipation
-What?
, Constipation is not merely a local and temporary
. derangement it affects the entire system as
it becomes chronic. .
First, it creates intestinal
poisons, which foul tho
blood and lessen the vital
ity. : Then come tho in
direct and more insidious
troubles, such ns Anemia,
Diabetes, Dyspepsia, Gas-
' tritis. Intestinal Catarrh,'
Pile'' and Hardening of
the Arteries.
Constipation is the source
of numerous serious ail
ments. i So all should
. beware. .
The best way to fcnin relief,
correct the trouble, and
keep the entire bowol sys
tea in normal condition
take Stanolax. the
kral lubricant. It is
i cathartic, it contains
