her silence seemed like a blow. Yet

and her hand was extended.

you, Colonel Curran," she said calmly.

During the course Of q reply to an
address presented to Hon. Robert Rog-
era, the newly appointed Minister Of
the Interior Of Canada at q banquet
given at Winnipeg in his honor that
gentleman spoke on immigration. The
tone Of his remarks was that he intend
Cd to pursue an aggressive and for"

tion. In part. he said:

great possibilities Of this country. We
have received In the past q reasonably
large immigration from south Of the
international boundary, and In this
connection let me say just word for
our American cousins who have found
happy homes amongst US, and those
whom we hope to welcome In greater
numbers in the years to come. There
are hundreds Of thousands Of them In
our prairie provinces, happy in the en-
joyment Of q freedom as great as they
ever knew, and all contributing in q
material way towards the development
Of Canada. We are not blind to their
value as settlers. They come better
equipped with scientific farming
knowledge than most Of our emil
grants, and constitute without doubt
the wealthiest class Of emigrants any
new country has ever known. An
head Of the immigration department Il
will be my privilege to offer them q
welcome hearty and sincere, and to
20 contribute to their welfare that I'M
der the protecting folds Of the Union

Of liberty and happiness as under the
Stars and Stripes. The Borden gov

A glance at my watch told me that

Of midnight. There was. however. nc

sentries calling the hour, and then

breaking away from them after the
exchange of a sentence or two, urged
my course as directly as possible to
ward where the specialized brigadieT

monies.
We had been conversing pleasantly
for several minutes when Mrs. Bren'
nan appeared. Standing so as to face
the stairs, l saw her first coming
down, and noted that she wore her
hat, and had a light walking-cloak
thrown over her shoulders. My heart
beat faster as realized for the
first time that she intended to be my
companion.
"Oh. General, I am exceedingly glad
to find you yet here. she exclaimed
as she came up. and extended neat
ly gloved hand to him. 81 have q

He bowed CALAMITY

his face.

D|SFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. Tho
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was disfgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night. his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
childs face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has
head of hair which is pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.
