fQua|ize Circulation
Eliminate Waste
Stop Autotoxemia

These are our success maxims
for the treatment of the sick, and by
these maxims we establish normal
health. Each person suffering from a
disease is special to themselves. It is
not likely that one other person in the
whole community has the same exact
diseased conditions physically and
chemically; which makes it pertinent
that your physician should be
thoroughly qualified to make a per-
feet diagnosis of each case, so that
each patient may get the best results
from properly applied treatment.
We believe experience and diligence
is the foundation of all progress. This
we have had for 35 years, still untiring
in our chosen labor. Our examinations
are exceptionally complete and they
are FREE once to any one who would
like our opinion. We treat chronic
diseases only. .5f r.

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

T 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, l always recommended the Cnicura Remedies as they always gave entire satisfaction. One case in particular was that of a lady friend of mine who, when a child, was af- hieted with eczema which covered her face and hands entirely, breaking out at intervals with severer torture. She could not go to school as the dishgure- ment looked terrible I told her to get at once 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 Cutieura Remedies which cured her. l have also seen them cure children Of ringWorm. The children's 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. It made his arm as Timber and nice, whereas it was quite stiff before l began to apply the Ointment.
 Last May I had an tngrowing toe nail which was very painful, as the side of the nail was edging right down in the side of my toe. I cut the nail out of the cavity 1t made. and of course applied the Cuticura Oint- meht to the pat affected. It soothed 1t and in less than ten nights it was all healed through constant use of the Ointment Ten days ago I had my left hand and wrist burned with boil. ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has completely cured them. I have just recommended the Cuticura Remedies to another friend, and she is pleased with the results and is recovering nicely. l will gladly furnish the names of the people referred to above If anybody doubts what say" (Sign- ed Mrs. Margaret Hederson, IT High land Ave, Maiden, Mass.

CHEATED FOR YEARS. Prejudice Will Cheat Us Often If We
 Let It.

You will be astonished to find how largely you are influenced in every way by unreasoning prejudice In many cases you will also find that the prejudice has swindled you, or rather, made you swindle yourself A case in illustration:
 have been constant user of Grape-Nuts for nearly three years" says a correspondent, "and I am hap py to say that I am we'll pleased with the result of the experiment, fer such it has been.
 Seeing your advertisement in al- most all of the periodicals, for long time l looked upon it as a hoax But aiter years of suffering with gaseous and bitter eructations from my stom- aeh. together with more or less loss ol appetite and flesh. I concluded to try Grape-Nuts food for a little time and note the result.
 T found it delicious, and 1t was not long till I began to experience the beneficial effects. My stomach re- sumed it's normal state, the eructa- uons and bitterness ceased and I have gained all my lost weight back

TEN MILLION PEOPLE IN THE CANADIAN
 WEST BY 1920
"Toronto star.p Dec. 18th. 1910.

The prediction is made that before 1920 Manitoba. Saskatchewan, AL berta and British Columbia will have ten million people It is made not by sanguine Western journal but by that very sober business newspaper, the New York Commercial. It 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 Canada's western agri- cultural area Is under cultivation. There are 170,0o0.000 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 25 years more will give this country 40,000,000 popula- tion west of Ontario.
 All these estimates of population are in the nature of guesses, and must not be read too literally. But :he enormous area of wheat-growing 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 eyer-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 ia hardly likely to keep pace with that Of the production of wheat for a 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 overriding produe- tion, and the surplus for export is growing smaller year by year. It 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- tion could be greatly increased. But with the oyerflowing granary of Can ada so close at hand, it 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.
 It 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 corn belt, and this again to semi tropical regions producing cotton, to- baceo, 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 IL is no unusual thing for farmer in Western Canada to realize a profit of from 8 to $10 per acre. There are thousands of free home steads of 1G0 acres each still to be had, and particulars can be obtained by writing your nearest Canadian gov ernment agent.

 T doubt if il be quite reyerent bishop, the man said, to give a ball for the purposes of charity
