itching stopped for about three days,
but when it started again. was even
worse than before. The eczema itched
so badly | couldn't stand it any more.
Il went to a doctor and he gave me
some medicine, but didn't do n good.
We have been having Cuticura Rem
edics in the house, SO l decided to try
them. ! had been using Cuticura
Soap, so l got me a box Of Cuticura
Ointment, and washed off the affected

day, and then put the Cuticura Oint-
men on. The first day / put it on, it
relieved me Of itching SO / could sleep
all that night. 1t took about a week.
then ] could see the scab come off. l
kept tho treatment up for three weeks,
and my eczema was cured.

NEWS OF MONTANA ;
important Happenings Of the :
Week Briefly Told. I
MONTANA is IN CORN BELT.
Farmer on the HuntIey Project Be.
Iieves He Has Proved His Case.

Billings.-That Montana is well
adapted to the growing of corn, that
its possibilities in this direction are
little appreciated and that the industry
will be n of the leading ones in the
future is the firm conviction of Elmer
+. Eikcr, a fcrmer who resides on the
Huntley project.
Mr.. Eiker is one Of the exhibitors at
the Yellowstone valley fair, and al
though he is showing samples of forty
different sorts of products, cOrn is his
staple and he raised ten different varie-
ties this season. Why he cultivated
so many was to ascertain what variety
is best suited to this section.
Il now know that fine corn can be
raised on the reclamation project"
said Mr.. Eiker, and before the end
of next season | expect to build a silo,
for | think that is the most economical
and altogether q satisfactory way
to feed stock"
"Nith tho silo | expect to be able to
fatten at least 200 head of cattle.
whereas AT present am keeping but
twenty, and | know can do this and
make money out of the business even
though my farm is small"
Mr.. Eikcr came to Montana about
-four years ago from Illinois where he
was a locomotive engineer. He set
tied on a lO-acrc tract on the reclama-
ton project.
Some of the cOrn he is exhibiting is
equal to the best grown in Iowa or
other rainbclt states. The stalks are
twelve feet high. He says that II
farmer who makes ever an average Of.
fort can do just as well as he. lie
planted his corn on May s, and much
Of it was only irrigated once, while
ON was never Watered.

Both sides of the ben2oate contro-

is still matter of guess work as to
Just what benzoate does.
OF course there is the report of the
board of scientific experts appointed
by President Roosevelt including Pres.
ident Remsen Of Johns Hopkins, one
of the worlds leading chemists, and
Prof. Chittenden of Yale, one of the
greatest psychologists, to the effect
that benzoate, If used in reasonable
quantities, is harmless furthermore,
that as it has little color or odor 1t
does not conceal changes in taste and
smell.
Still the Association OF State and
National Food and Dairy departments
last year could only muster majority
of 81 to AZ favorable to this side of
the controversy.

Capital is timid and often runs to
cover on short notice whether there

to the fear that the insurgent element
