MIscoNsTRUINo ROOSEVELT

ssDuring his recent visit to In
diana and Michigan President
Roosevelt made a number OF
speeches to crowds that had
gathered to greet him. At inter.
walls he made side remarks to in.
dividuals who spoke to him, and
one of these remarks has been
quoted with the evident intent to
misrepresent his thoughts. At
one place he said that in a year
and eleven months he chopped to
take a more active part in" the
Harvard Alumni Association.
Immediately this was distorted
as meaning that the President ex-
pected to become the head of Har-
ward faculty.
mo such thought was in the
Presidents mind. In the first
place it would have been in the
poorest possible taste for the
President to suggest that he
hoped to succeed the present
brilliant president Of Harvard,
for whom everybody hopes many
more years of usefulness are to
be permitted. President Eliot
himself-and he is a fair-minded
man in every respect-has seen
it proper to comment on the un-
warranted Interpretation placed
upon President Roosevelt's
words, and he is thus qnoted:
ssIn his address last week
President Roosevelt stated that
inside of one year and eleven
months he hoped to be lone of
fhefn again, by which I take it
that he simply meant that at the
expiration of his term as Presi-
dent he would be able to devote
himself to alumni work and again
take an active part in the alumni
work at Harvard.
81 do not think that he in
u
tended in the least to give the
impression that he expected to
be in any way an official in the
institution, or that he was even
thinkinking of being member
of the corporation or the board
Of oyerseers. His remark was
informal and he was looking for
ward to the time when he would
have the leisure to work actively
= Haryard's behalf.

The following method of cleaning

TORTURED WITH ECZEMA.
Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body
Scratched Until Bled-Wonder-
full Cure by Cuticura.

Last year suffered with tremen-
dous itching on my back, which grew
worse and worse, until it spread over
the whole body, and only my face and
hands were free. For four months or
so I suffered torments, and / had to
scratch, scratch, scratch, until bled.
At night when l went to bed things
got worse, and l had at times to get
up and scratch my body all over, until
l was as sore as could be, and until l
suffered excruciating pains. They told
me that l was suffering from eczema.
Then I made up my mind that would
use the Cuticura Remedies. I used
them according to instructions, and
very soon indeed l was greatly re-
lieved. I continued until we'll, and
now l am ready to recommend the Gu
ticura Remedies to any one. Mrs.

One Peril of BaIIoonina.

One of the strange experiences OF
a balloonist is that of falling into "a
hole in the air." which Mr.. Rolker re-
ports as follows: $50 you continue
sailing, enjoying the present with
little thought of the startling sur
prises that may be before you. Ahead
of you, unseen, may be what the bal
loonist calls hole in the air. re-

and down this you may literally fall
at rate which is terrifying until, by
sacrificing two or three bagfuls Of
sand at once, your pilot checks your
downward fight. But these holes"
are scarce, and, as a rule, the atmos-
phere is of uniform carrying power"

The Evils of Constipation.

are many; in fact almost every Sc
rious illness has it's origin in consti-
patton, and some medicines, instead Of
preventing constipation, add to it.
This is true of most cathartics. which,
when first used, have beneficial ef-
feet, but the dose has to be contin-
ually increased, and before long the
remedy ceases to have the slightest
effect. There is one preparation, how
ever, that can be relied upon to pro-
duce the same results with the same
dose, even after fifty years daily
use, and this is Brandreth's Pills,
which has record of over 100 years
as the standard remedy for constipa-
ton and all troubles arising from an
impure state of the blood.
Brandreths Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used, and are for sale everywhere,
either plain or sugar-coated.

SCIENCE OF DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
Necessary knowledge If Home ls to
Be Made Happy.

Did you ever ask yourself the mean
ing of the term domestic economy?
Most likely you never did. Notwith-
standing the growing popularity of
this branch of study, there is no sub
ject the name and nature of which
Is so generally misunderstood.
Some young women think 1t means
cookery and laundry lessons" others
thing "scraping and saving" would
more fifty define it. while dim ideas
of so-called mental duties and domes-
tic drudgery float through the brains
Of others.
But these are Small nibblings at
the outer bark" OF the truth. which Is
that domestic economy Is a saving
knowledge, knowledge which relates
to the intelligence and cultivated man.
agement OF everything connected with
the home.
It is the science Of tho home, and
pre-eminently a woman's science.
1t Is the womans work to make the
house into home. Every woman
ought to know how to do all things
necessary to make home happy,
says Woman's Life.
The husband earns the money, but
the principal part Of it has to be
spent by the wife. Hence it is Very
important that all girls should learn
domestic economy. But please re-
member that domestic economy is
one of those things that cannot be
learned from books alone.

the duke Of Connaught Both constantly seek
the society Of their cousins from across the sea,
but in this the kings motives are more unselfish

ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN
CANADA.
Magnificent Crop Returns 10. chs
Year 1906.

The manner in which the Canadian,
West has attracted settlers in recent
years has caused many Of our journals
and public men to "sit up and take mo-
tice," to use current phrase. From
every European country and from al
most every State in the Union large
number of settlers have fiocked to the
prairie provinces OF Canada, where
free homesteads and wide opportun-
tiles are open to all who desire to
avail themselves OF them.
The greatest factor in attracting
settlers lies in the inherent richnesi
Of soil and suitability Of climate fot
producing what Is universally consid
cred to be the finest wheat in the
world-the mo. Hard" Of Canadian
growth-and other cereals that rank
in the very first class. This year the
harvest returns were: Wheat, co.
100000 bushels; oats, 100000 bush.
els; barley, 100000 bushels; and
when it is considered that the entire
population OF the three provinces-as
evidenced by the quinquennial census
just completed-is only $4,000, it Is
easily seen that the lure Of the Cana
dian West is in its agricultural poten-
tialities.
Another feature which attracts the
settler is that railway construction Is
proceeding with such rapidity that al
most every district is within easy
reach of outside markets, and that
good prices for all lines of farm prod
ucts rule practically from the COM
mencement of agricultural operations.
This Is factor which did not prevail
when the earlier settlements in the
West were made in Canada and in the
United States, and has given a great
impetus to Canadian Western settle
ment in recent years.
The free grant system Of home
steads which prevails in the prairie
provinces, by which every settler who
Is able and willing to comply with the
conditions of actual settlement (by no
means onerous) is given 100 acres
free, except $40 for entry. is great
drawing card, and in the last fiscal
year gathered in over $4,000 add-
tional to the western population, OF
which 57,796 were from the United
States.
The further fact, as is strongly
brought about by the agent of the
Canadian Government, whose address
appears elsewhere, that splendid
common school system, practically
free, prevails throughout the entire
country, and is easy Of access in even
the most remote districts, is another
great inducement to the settler who
has the future welfare of his family
IN mind, and this, coupled with the
fact that western Canadian law and
order are proverbial, completes a
circle of good and sufficient reasons
why the tide OF immigration has set
In so steadily toward the country to
the north OF our boundary line.
