HI. Accent Won Them.

When the Marquis of Lansdowne was
governor general of Canada, he was called
on to make a speech to some French
Canadians. With all its loyalty to the
English connection, this little bit Of
transported France adheres very rigidly
to many things French and especially to
the purity of the French tongue-at least
as it was spoken in the eighteenth CEN
fury. Few viceroys have ever yentured
accordingly to leave the safe security of
the English tongue, and 1t was with some
trepidation that the French Canadians
heard that Lord Lansdowne was going
to deliver speech to them in their own
language. But he had scarcely uttered
the word "messieurs" when the whole
audience burst into cheers. They recog-
nized at once the accent of the true
French tongue. the accent only possible
to a man of French blood, and one who
had spoken French as his mother tongue.

The RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.

From the natural impulse to "put some
thing ON a painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul
tees or plasters, and the best of these is
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and It's standard
is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter q season Of suffer-
ing and danger. 1t relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept CApsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none Of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlative merit
of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with others, Ben

Mr. Major, the famous cement man, of
New York, explains some very interesting
facts about Majors Cement.
The mu1titudes who use this standard
article know that it is many hundred per
cent. better than other cements for which
similar claims are made, but a great
many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other manu-
features do not use them, because they
are too expensive and do not allow large
profits. Mr.. Major tells US that one of
the elements of his cement costs 1918 a
pound, and another costs $2.65 gallon
while alarge share ofthe so-called cements
and liquid glue upon the market are moth
ing more than sixteen-cent glue, dissolved
in water or citric acid, and in some cases,
altered slightly in color and odor
by the addition of cheap and useless
materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents
and twenty-five cents a bottle, and when a
dealer tries to sell a substitute you can
depend upon it that his only object is to
make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much
as any dealer ought to make on any &C.
ment And this is doubly true in view of
the fact that each dealer gets his share of
the benefit of Mr.. Majors advertising,
which now amounts to over $1,000 a
month, throughout the country. Estab-
lished in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept
any offhand advice from druggist.
If you are at all handy land you will
be likely to find that you are good deal
more so than you imagine) you can re-
pair your rubber boots and family shoes
and any other rubber and leather articles,
with Majors Rubber Cement and Majors
Leather cement.
And you will be surprised at how many
dollars year you will thus save.
If your druggist can't supply you, it
will be forwarded by mail; either kind.
