Of my scalp became so intense that l

slept regularly for months past, only
at intervals, waking up now and then
because of the burning and itching of
my skin. Having read different tes-

Remedies, decided to purchase box
OF Cuticura Ointment and a cake of
Outicura Soap. After using them for
few days I recognized a marked
change in my condition. / bought
about two boxes of Cuticura Ointment
and five cakes of Cuticura Soap in all,
and after few days was entirely

My eczema was entirely cured, all
due to using Cuticura Soap and Oint-

load after train load of a splendid
class of settlers leave weekly from
Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago. De-
troit, st. Paul and other points. Most
of these are destined through to points
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al

the different farming districts there
are that the spring is opening up well.
and the prospects for a splendid crop
this year are very good. In some dis
tricts good homesteads are yet avail
able. The price of all farm lands has
naturally had an increase, but 1t is
