ECZEMA DlSFIGURED BABY

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. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfigured 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 Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's 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.
Albrecht, Box 883, West Point, Neb.,
Oct. &c, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, a sample Of
each, with 32-page book, will be mailed
free on application to "Cuticura,"

COSTS LESS THAN SIS
CENTS A BUSHELT TO
RAISE WHEAT IN
CANADA.
FREQUENT QUESTION AN
SWERED-

Western Canada probably suffered
the year Of 1911 than did almost any
other portion Of the country. Seeding
was most successful and the growing
conditions up to July were never bet
ter. Crops Of all kinds showed Won
derful growth at that time and were
universally good, but there was not
the usually excellent Tipening weather
In August and the effects Of this were
felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 40 and so bushels yield OF
wheat were reduced to 25 and 80 bush
els, while some Of course gave the
full expectancy and others somewhat
less. The quality was also lowered.
In face Of these conditions. 1t is found
that during the months Of September
and October, the total amount Of con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized a total of 1872 million dollars,
the average price for this wheat be-
ing 97% cents; that below contract
for the two months was a little over
Is million bushels, which at an aver
age price Of S91s cents per bushel
realized a little over eleven million
dollars, or grand total for all wheat
Of 35 million bushels. which realized
a total Of a little over thirty-one mil
lion dollars.
On the first Of November, there
was in the hands of the farmers Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 130 million
bushels of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had Of the value
OF the wheat crop of 1911.
A careful canvass made by the Win
nipeg Free Press made of a number
of men farming in large way indi-
Gates that even with the extreme ex-
pense Of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than 55 cts. bushel. The
average freight rate is not over 13
cts. per hushel. This would make the
cost of production and freight 6S cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low-grade wheat Of
171a cts. and for his high grade wheat
Of 1914 cts.; and though this is not
as large a profit as the farmer has
every right to expect, it is a profit
not to be despised. and which should
leave very fair amount Of money to
his credit when all the expenses Of
the year have been paid. unless the
value Of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level.

Moliere had written many plays to
ridicule doctors and medicine. Louis
XIV heard that the author had, how

FAIR TRIAL, ASSURED

OF Ensanada will be present, the State
Department was assured today in re-
sponse to instructions to the consul and
TO Ambassador Wilson at Mexico City
The Identity of the men was not COM
munlcated to the State Department The
appeal for Intervention came from
United States District Attorney Nc
Cormtck at Los Angeles. He tele-
Sraphed that he had been informed by
newspaper correspondents that two
Americans had been taken into GUS

ment was made that Harry c. Dell,
presumably one of the men, had al
ready been convicted by court
martial and sentenced to death.
Inquiries of the State Department
brought out the information that the
men were held, but had not been sum
marily tried

at Mexico City, requested him to mako

PAPER SUIT AGAINST
PRINTER DISMISSED
Justice Gould Holds Charges
of Favoritism Without
Foundation.
SMOOT AND OTHERS
SERIOUSLY INVOLVED
Case Begun Year Ago BY Valley
Paper Company Over Re-
lection of Bid.

Charges of favoritism in awarding
Government contracts for paper at the
Government Printing Office made last
winter against Senator Reed Smooi,
chairman, and the Joint Committee on
Printing of the House and Senate, were
today declared without foundation by
Justice Gould, of the District Supreme
Court.
Justice Gould dismissed the equity
suit of the Valley Paper Company Of
Massachusetts against Public Printer
Samuel B. Donnelly, denying an in
junction sought against his letting cor
tracts. for print paper TO rival paper
concerns. He also taxed the costs of
the expensive litigation against the
plaintiff, sustaining the demurrer Of
Public Printer Donnelly.
Begun Year Ago.
The Valley Enterprise Companys
suit, begun in January, 1910, seriously
involving Senators Smoot, Bourne, and
Fletcher, and creating furore at tie
Capitol, resulted from the rejection of
the paper firms bid to furnish print
paper for the Government Printing
Office for the fiscal year ending Feb
ruary 2S, 1911
The late Senator Elkins sharply criti-
Cised the manner in which the Joint
Committee on Printing had been select
cd, who suggested three Senators 20
serve on the committee. Senator SmoOt,
however. selected his own confreres. In
his opinion today Judge Gould said:
THE bill is an arraignment and Criti-
Cism of certain members of Congress
of the Joint Committee on Printing"
Denying jurisdiction of the District
Supreme Court to inquire into the man
n"r of selecting the joint committee or
its official conduct thereafter, Justice
Gould says:
Without Jurisdiction.
The courts have no more power to
pass upon the manner or method select
ed by the House or the Senate for the
appointment of such committee, or
regularity of the proceedings leading up
TO such appointment, than they would
have to pass upon the regularity of the
election of a member of either house"
Judge Gould, therefore, dismissed the
bill of the paper company and sustained
the demurrer of Public Printer Don
nelly, denying the privilege of the paper
company to appeal to the District
courts from the action of the joint COM
mittee of Congress rejecting its bid to
furnish supplies.
