NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

Il 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
Cuticura 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-
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 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 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 used the Cuticura Oint-
ment IT made his arm as timber and
nice, whereas 1t was quite stiff before
/ began to apply the Ointment.
Last May / 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. l cut
the nail out of the cavity it made, and
of course applied the Cuticura ONT
ment to the part affected. 1t soothed
1t and in less than ten nights it was
all healed through constant use of the
Ointment. Ten days ago 1 had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil

completely cured them. / have Just

HOW TO WEIGH THE EARTH
Simple Method Adopted by q Ceis-
brated English Savant for Esti-
mating Globes Weight.

Washington.-We know the size of
this planet. so we know how many gal
Ions Of water could go into the space
1t occupies. Well. all those gallons
would weigh just about 100000, 000.-
100000. 900 tons. One billion billions
of tons! Now the earth isn't made of
water only, but of rocks and metals
and sand and thousand other things.
How many times heavier would it be
when all these things are allowed for?
To use the scientific word-what Is
the density of the earth?
The best way of making such a
measurement was invented in 1875
by celebrated English savant, Henry
Cavendish.
Cavendish's method was an indirect
one. The force that draws body to
the earth-its weights manifesto

power. and everybody is familiar with
its manifestations.
Everybody, on the earth or on, at
tracts every other body. The amount
of the attraction depends only on the
mass Of the two bodies that attract
each other and the distance between
them.
Cavendish eliminated the earth as q
distributing factor by making his two
bodies attract each other In a hori-
zontal direction. The earth's attrac-
ton is. Of course. vertical. He took q
long. thin stick, very light and six
feet in length, and suspended it hori-
zontally by silver wire fastened to
its middle. To each end of the rod he
attached little balls or knots of lead.
The bodies that were to attract
these two knobs were two big balls
of lead. He arranged his apparatus
SO that at a given signal he could
bring the large balls close up to
hhObS al tuC Cnuo VI tuC otiCh- OnC
on one side of the knob. one on
the other side of the knob at the other
end
He found that when he did this
each knob drew toward the big lead
ball near it, swinging the wooden
rod round on it's wire support. With
delicate instruments he measured how
much the rod and the wire twisted
out of place. Thus he could tell what
was the force Of attraction-the force
of grayitation-pulling the knobs to-
ward the lead balls. He knew how
much the earth would attract the lit.
tie knobs-that is. he knew their
weight; he knew how much material
there was in the large lead balls he
used. the ratio of the quantity of ma
terial in the earth to the quantity In

simple laws established by Isaac New
ton.

TEN MILLION PEOPLE
In THE CANADIAN
WEST BY 1920

Toronto 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
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 Canada's western agri-
cultural area is under cultivation.
There are 170,0o0,00O 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 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
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 sim
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 overtaking 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 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.
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
a profit of from IS to SO 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.
