CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Ecze-

Both Cured by Cuficura

Girl Had Running Sores from Ecxe-
ma-Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.
Last year, after having my little
girl treated by a very prominent ply
sician for an obstinate case OF &c
zerna, l resorted to the Cuticura Rem
edies, and was so well pleased with
the almost instantaneous relief afford
ed that we discarded the physicians
prescription and relied entirely on the
Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and
Cuticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about six weeks we had her
completely WELL and there has been no
recurrence of the trouble.
I'm July Of this year a little boy
in our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were
a mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies. washing
his hands and arms with the Cuticura
Soap, and amounting them with the
Cuticura Ointment. and then gave him
the Cuticura Resolvent. In about three
weeks his hands and arms healed up.
So we have lots of cause for feeling
grateful for the Cuticura Remedies. We
find that the Cuticura Remedies are a
valuable household standby, living as

WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOES
'Old Indiana" Holds The Ribbon.


Dundurn. Sask., Sept. so, 1906.
Mr.. ". ii. Rogers. Canadian Govern
ment Agent, Indianapolis. Ind:
My Dear Sir-When you were at our
place in July l promised TO write you
what my North quarter made per acre.
You will remember it was all sown to
wheat Well, finished threshing yes
terG'y. and received from it an aver
age of 1874 bushels per acre-teSting
6413 pounds per stroked bushel. The
wheat is the best sample l have ever
ralsed-So uniform and even in size.
You may know it was a good saLlple
when l tell you that l have already
sold 1000 bushels of it for seed to my
neighbors. This year has been my best
effort in farming during my life. Ny
wheat totalled $3.50 bushels and nv
oats nearly 5000
If you remember I pointed out to
you a half-section lying just west of
our house and joining my upper quar-
ter on the south, which l said l should
have in order TO make one of the best
farms IN Western Canada. I am very
glad to be able to tell you that l now
own that half-section. Ny ambition
now is 70 be able to market 10000
bushels OF wheat next year. If some
of those good honest HOLSTERS could
have been with me during the last two
weeks and could have seen the golden
grain rushing down the spout into my
wagon and then could have seen it in
great piles in ms granaries, | feel sure
they would have been forced to ac-
knowledge there is no better farming
country in the world than this. | may
Just say that have done all my farm
ing with eight head of horses and one
hired man except during harvest and
threshing. This year l proved to my
neighbor that the Hoosiers when once
woke up can raise grain equal to the
best Minnesota farmers. His best Yield
was 1912 bushels per acre. so you see
"Old Indiana" is holding the ribbon
this year.
Yours very truly.
