TEN YEARS OF
SCALP ERUPTION
Thy Pinhead PimpIes Filled and
Hurt Tremendously Tried Every
thing in Vain--His Daughters
Scalp was Crusted Both Found
SIMPLY SURPRISING
CURE IN CUTICURA

at is a great pleasure for me and
consider it a duty 70 inform you what
Cuticura has done for me. About
twelve years ago, 1 contracted an erup-
ton Of the scalp consisting Of small
pimples, about the size Of q pinhead,
which filed after a few days with pus
and which hurt tremendously. / tried
everything, but n vain. Finally, /
washed my head with sulphur and ap-
piled a carbohc ointment. After few
days the pimples disappeared, only TO
come back again IN week. This l
suffered for ten years and then l saw
an advertisement in the paper Of the
wonderful cures by Cuticur2. / bought
a cake Of Cuticura Soap, box q CUti-
cura Ointment and a bottle Of Cuticura
Pills and after three weeks / had usied
only half the Soap and Ointment a7d
nv head was as clean as ever before.
After the first application it was simply
surprising how IL improved.
MY daughter used Cuticura Soap
and Ointment for scales on the scalp and
after having used them three times her
head was clear and the hair became as
soft and fine as silk. Since then she
uses nothing but Cuticura Soap for
shampOoing.
I'm consequence Of my having used
Cuticura Soap for shampOOing, I no
ticed that my hands which almost al
ways were cracked from haTsdling IN
dressed wood, lime and stone, became
white and velvety. Formerly I used
glycerine, but one nights treatment
with Cuticura Soap and Ointment does
more for my hands than a weeks treat
ment with glycerine. I hope all suf-
feTing people viii at least try the Cuti-

QUALITY AND PRICE

Inc Three Essentials That Are Civ
Ing Western Canada Greater Im-
pulse than Ever This Year.
The reports from the grain fields OF
Central Canada (Which comprises the
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta) are to hand. The year
1909 has not only kept pace with
previous years in proving that this
portion of the continent is capable OF
producing splendid yield OF all the
smaller grains, but it has thoroughly
outstripped previous seasons. There
is quantity, quality and price, and
from all parts of an area of about
$4,000 square miles there comes the
strong refrain of contentment and
the conditions causing it no district
has been overlooked
Various estimates OF the total yield
OF wheat for the country have been
made, but it is not the vast tota! that
Influences the general reader so much
as what has been done individually.
The grand total-say 130000.000 bush
els-may have its effect on the grain
prices Of the world; it may be inter-
esting to know that in the worlds
markets the wheat crop of Canada
has suddenly broken upon the trading
boards, and with the Argentine, and
with Russia and India is now a factor
IN the making OF prices. If so to-day.
yhot xr,;l no
from now, when, instead of there be-
aug seven million acres under crop.
with a total yield of 125,000,000 or
13O,000,000 bushels, there will be from
100000 to 3O,O0000O acres in wheat
with yield of from 100000 to
60O,00O,00O bushels. When it is con-
sidered that the largest yield in the
United States but slightly exceeded
7OO.OOO,000 bushels. the greatness Of
these figures may be understood Well,
such is a safe forecast. for Canada has
the land and it has the soil. Even to-
day the Province of Saskatchewan, one
of the three great wheat growing
provinces of Canada, with 100000
acres under wheat, produces nearly
y0,000,000 bushels, or upwards of one
tenth of the greatest yield of the Unit
ed States And Saskatchewan is yet
only in the beginning OF its develop
ment. AS Lord Grey recently pointed
out in speaking on this very subject,
this years crop does not represent
one-tenth of the soil equally fertile
that is yet to be brought under the
plough.
individually, reports are to hand of
yields of twenty-five, thirty ard thirty
five bushels to the acre. Scores of
yields are reported of forty and some
as high as sixty bushels. The farmer,
who takes care of his soil. who gets
his seed-bed ready early. is certain of
a splendid crop.
The news of the magnificent crop
yield throughout the Canadian West
will be pleasing to the friends of the
thousands of Americans who are resi-
dents in that country and who are
vastly instrumental in the assistance
they are rendering to let the world
know its capabilities.

The origin of the custom of April

degree of certainty. In the literature
of the last century there are found
many references to it, and yet beyond
that it is scarcely possible to GO One
suggestion is that the custom of play

derived from some ancient pagan GUS
tom, such as the Hull festival among
the Hindoos or the Roman feast of
