Many Remedies to No Avail

after an attack of rheumatism,
running sores broke out on my hus-
bands legs. from below the knees to
the ankles. There are no words to
tell all the discomforts and great suf-
fering he had to endure night and day
He used every kind of remedy and
three physicians treated him, one after
the other, without any good results
whatever. One day | ordered some
Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment,
and Cuticura Resolvent. He began
to use them and in three weeks all the
sores were died up. The burning fire
stopped, and the pains became bear
able. After three months he was quite

WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS BET

To the Editor - Sir.-Doubtless
many of your readers will be pleased
20 have some word from the grain
fields OF Western Canada. where such
a large number OF Americans have
made their home during the past few
years. II is pleasing to Be able to re-
port that generally the wheat yield
has been good: II viii average about
20 bushels 10 the acre There will
be many cases where the yield viii go
80 bushels 70 the acre, and others
where 80 bushels 10 the acre has
been recorded. The oat and barley
crop has been splendid. The prices
Of ali grains will bring TO the farmers
a magnificent return for their labors
An instance has been brought 10 my
notice of a farmer in the Pincher
Creek Southern Albertat district
where winter wheat is gnowm-who
made a net profit Of S19.55 per acre, or
little less than the selling price OF his
land. 30. 40. and so bushel yields are
recorded there. The beauty about the
lands IN Western Canada IS that they
are SO well adapted to grain-raising.
while the uxuriant grasses that grow
everywhere IN abundance make the
best possible feed for fattening cattle
or for those used for dairying pur-
poses.

which went into force September, 1908,

One of the chief advantages of the
warehouse certificate plan of financ.
ing cotton is that it will net depend
upon universal adoption for its sue
cess. OF course, the more general It
would be the more readily would the
certificate be accepted by the bust
ness world Let one county adopt it
and the business interests of the ad'
joining counties will be compelled tc
do so, too, in order to secure their
part of the trade. In this manner 1t
should spread from county to county
until the entire South is covered by
the system. However. if it should not
be adopted in one section or county,
that would not necessarily prevent
its successful operation in another.

twelve months to spin the cotton you
will gather within the next three
months? Suppose the South produces
1900 900 bales then it should furnish
Loco 600 bales per month. If you dump

needed. Have you ever taken bask-
ct of eggs or load of corn or potatoes
TO your little local market and find
everybody supplied? # you have, you
have witnessed in a small way, just
what takes place on a larger scale in
the cotton markets of the world when
the South works early and late and
runs her gins night and day to crowd
her cotton on the world before it is
needed Somebody must store, insure
and finance this cotton until it is need
ed. But this is not all The men who
buy the cotton from the farmer, wheth-
er they are spinners Of spectators
must take all the chances of bad mark
cts, famines, wars. labor troubles, short
demand for cotton goods and large
supply of cotton and as they must carry
these risks they take them out of the
price. In other words, the producer
pays all these expenses and risks when
he dumps his cotton before it is need

enthusiasm seldom witnessed in a
similar organization the National Riv-
ers and Harbors Congress al its con-
Guiding session here today, by a unan-
imous vote placed itself on record in
favor of the issuance of government
bonds for the great waterway projects
of the country
BY a resolution, which was one of a
series adopted, it. declared for an au-
thorized issue by congress at it's pres
ent session of $500,000,OOO worth of
bonds, the proceeds to be used in the
payment expressly for such river and
lharbor work as may be authorized by
congress, the provision for the issue
to be similar to Panama canal bonds.
Later in the day committee pre-.
tinted to Vice President Fairbanks
and Speaker Cannon the bond resolu-
ton. Mr. Fairbanks expressed a fav-
able opinion of the proposition, but
Mr.. Cannon merely assured the COM
mittes. that the resolution would be
referred to the proper committee for

suit of the conference yesterday be-

of the committee.
That the house of representatives
will pass a bill which will thoroughly
revise the present schedules is gen.
orally admitted.
At yesterdays conference Mr. Taft
did not discuss any particular tariff
schedules, but expressed the desire
to take up corporation schedules at
some future conference with the COM
mittee. He also favors any action
on the part of the committee which
would bring before it those manu-
'facturers who have expressed their
views publicly on the tariff question,

furnish valuable information in con-
