CUTICURA SOON CURED
HIS FEARFUL ECZEMA

"About a year ago an itching humor
began to appear around the back of my
hand. It started in TO spread, and
pretty soon it covered both my hands
and got up over my wrists n even
burning were terrible. My hands got
all sca1y and when I scratched, as I
was doing a good part Of b time, h
surface would be covered with blisters
and then get raw. The czem got SO
that I could not move the thumbs
without deep cracks appearing. I went
to my doctor, but his medicine could
only stop b itching and did not seem
to heal my hands up at all. At night
I suffered so fearful1y that I could not
sleep, often lying awake until well toward
morning, then waking up still tired.
I am a chef and steward by trade and
/ had to give up my place, as my hands
were 80 terrible to look at hat they
the food. I could not bear to touch
them with water, but when / positively
had to get my hands clean ! would rub
them with oil.
This sort of business went on for
three months and I kept trying zinc
with no particular benefit. I did not
know what to do, for I was fairly worn
ont. For a long time several friends
kept asking me why ] didn't use Cuti-
Cura ana az iaSt 4 WouIu.
First / got the Cuticura Soap, then
Cuticura Ointment and at last Cuticura
Resolvent. I put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on at night, covering my hands
with light cotton gloves. In the morn
ing the inside of the gloves would be
lined with scales, sometimes half as
long as your finger, leaving nice healed
places where the scales had been. In
o month I was cured and have kept SO
now for nine months. My hands and
arms are perfectly clear Of all traces OF
eczema and I think i am well rid of it.

FARGO CAPITALISTS PURCHASE
VAST TIMBER TRACT IN
BRITISH COLUMBIA. 1s.;~.3

Timber Investment company with; a
capital stock Of 81, 100000 was incor-
porated at Bismarck, October 23rd,
1909. This company was organized
for the purpoes of buying and develop
ing some large timber properties on
Vancouver Island, British Columbia
p The company has recently acquired
seventyfour sections, containing A.
$50 acres of first-class timber, lying in
one solid body on the northwestern
part of the island. This property was
carefully inspected last summer by g.
M. Hopp, secretary of the company,
who was accompanied by a party OF
timber cruisers and experts. They
guarantee it to- yield at least 10000
feet Of merchantable timber. to, the
acre, making in all approximately j.
.500,000,000 feet Of timber to sbe found
on the Pacific coast. =
! The timber consists of fir, cedar,
spruce, hemlock and white larch or
silver fir and is selling at Vancouver
at the present time for from $11 to sis
per thousand feet. The cost of deliv-
ering these logs to the saw mills of
British Columbia is $3.50 per thousand
feet I; so on the most conservative es.
innate the profit to the company WILL
be over $6s00O,000. Timber, however,
is increasing in value more rapidly
than any other public commodity; So
!, by holding this property for. few
years the company expects to realize
La profit Of several times that amount

need Of just such present as were
given them.

ed with much enthusiasm.
