NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

II have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as a nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every IN
stance, / always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case in
particular was that of lady friend
of mine who, when child, was af-
flicted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not go to school as the disfigure-
ment looked terrible. told her to get
at once a set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use of only one set she was
perfectly we'll.
"a grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall of the year. They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
l have also seen them cure children
of ringworm. The childrens faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck and after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and l used the Cuticura Oint-
ment. 1t made his arm as timber and
nice, whereas it was quite stiff before
l began to apply the Ointment.
Last May l had an ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side of the nail was edging right
down in the side of my toe. / cut
the nail out OF the cavity 1t made, and
of course applied the Cuticura ONT
ment to the part affected. It soothed
1t and in less than ten nights 1t was
all healed through constant use of the
Ointment. Ten days ago had my
left hand and wrist burned witt boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. l have just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend, and she is pleased
with the results and is recovering
nicely. / will gladly furnish the

TEN MILLION PEOPLE
IN THE CANADIAN
WEST BY 1920
HToronto STAR" Dec. 18th, 1910.

The prediction is made that before
1920 Manitoba, Saskatchewan. Al
berta and British Columbia will have
ten million people. 1t is made not by
a sanguine Western journal but by
that very sober business newspaper,
the New York Commercial. 1t is
based upon actual observation, upon
the wheat-growing capacity of the Ca
madam West, and upon the prospects
of development following the build
ing of railways. The writer shows
how the position Of leading wheat
market of the world passed from
Milwaukee to Minneapolis and thence
to Winnipeg. Canada's wheat-grow.
ing belt is four times greater than
that of the United States, and only
five per cent of Canadas western agri-
cultural area is under cultivation.
There are 170,000,000 acres of wheat
lands which will make these Western
Provinces richer, more populous, more
dependable for food supplies than the
Western States can ever become. The
center of food supremacy will change
to Canada, and rs years more will
give this country 100000 popula-
ton west Of Ontario.
All these estimates OF population
are in the nature of guesses, and must
not be read too literally. But the
enormous area Of wheatgrowing land,
the rapid construction of railways,
and the large volume of immigration
are facts which must be recognized.
They point to the production of an
ever-increasing surplus of wheat and
other cereals. However rapidly the
urban, the industrial and commercial
population Of Canada may increase,
the increase of home consumption is
hardly likely to keep pace with that
of the production of wheat; for sin
gle acre of wheat will provide for the
average annual consumption of four
people,.
While production in Canada is thus
running ahead of consumption at a
prodigious rate, consumption in the
United States is oyertaking produc-
ton, and the surplus for export is
growing smaller year by year. 1t is
true that the limit of actual power to
produce wheat Is as yet far away.
BY methods Of intensive cultivation,
such as prevail In France, the produc-
ton could be greatly increased. But
with the overlooking granary of Can
ada 30 close at hand, 1t seems likely
that our neighbors will begin to i'm
port from us, turning their own en-
ergies more largely to other forms Of
agriculture.
1t must be remembered that while
the Northern States resemble Canada
in climate and products, the resem-
blance diminishes as you go south
ward. The wheat belt gives place to
a corn belt, and this again to semi
tropical regions producing cotton, to-
bacco, cane-sugar, oranges and other
tropical fruits.
The man who secures a farm in
Western Canada at the present time
secures an investment better than the
best Of bond Of any government or
bank. 1t is no unusual thing for a
farmer in Western Canada to realize
profit of from S. to $40 per acre.
There are thousands of free home
steads of 100 acres each still to be
had, and particulars can be obtained
by writing your nearest Canadian gov
eminent agent.
