"Cuticura Remedies are all you claim them to be. l had eczema for over two years. l had two physicians, but they only gave me relief for a short time and ] cannot enumerate the ointments end lotions l used to no purpose. My ankles were one mass of sores. The itching and burning were SO intense that ] could not sleep. ] could not walk for nearly four months. One day my husband said I had better try the Cuti- cuta Remedies. After using them three times, l had the best nights rest in months unless took an opiate. l used one set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and CutiCura Resolvent Pills, and my ankles healed in Q short time. It i5 now Q year sinCt | used Cuti- cura, and there has been no return of the eczema.
 "I had a small lump in the corner of my eye for over Q year which was very painful and got larger all the time. l thought would try Cuticura Soap and Ointment on it, and now it is gone. ] am soventy-three years old and have lived on the farm l now occupy for twenty-Beven years.

be year or so old-may be four or
five years old.
The bloom, as you so POLITICALLY

in, and $1,000 Of them were from

too, are much in evidence. American
money-is one OF the greatest sources
of prosperity American enterprise
is leading the most active and grow
ing section of the Dominion along the
road to very American wealth and
industrial power.
Old-fashioned Canadians, intensely
loyal to their own country and to
Great Britain, do not like this Amer
,icanising of the Dominion's wide ex-
panse OF wheat lands in the North
west. but they are unable to stem the
tide. II Canada is inviting enough
to enterprising men and important
enough as a place for their work and
their investments, the Americanizing
will go on. And what Canadian
