ECZEMA DlSFIGURED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a 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
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.
1--WE 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 a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.
Albrecht, Box 1888, West Point, Neb.,
Oct. 26, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, a sample Of

COSTS LESS THAN SIS
CENTS A BUSHEL TO
RAISE WHEAT IN
CANADA.
FREQUENT QUESTION AN
SEVERED.

Western Canada probably suffered
less from weather conditions during
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 ~ripening 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 % 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, it 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 rel
age price of 1914 cents per bushel
realized a little over eleven million
dollars, or a grand total for all wheat
of 50 million bushels, which realized
a total of a little over t~hirty-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 1870 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 a 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 IS cts. a bushel. The
average freight rate is not over 10
cts. per bushel. 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 a 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 it's present level.

The Mind of Joseph pulitzer.

When summing up the gist Of any
matter d~eclarative of his own thought
in regard to it, his speech was a les
son in diction and construction. : No
essayist or pamphleteer or historical
writer but would have profited by lis
tening to him. Everything that he
himself has written or dictated shows
this clarity of expression. He would
have made a great lecturer, a great
pleader before the bar, had not journal
ism and politics in his early youth
swung him away from his legal studies
to the most exacting of all professions.
BY long practice each of his secre-
taries had learned to know his needs
and his methods of listening. Every
article read to him from the mag
azines, reviews and quarterlies had to
be prepared, r~ehearsed, marked and
deleted. Even the novels, Of which he
was a voracious reader, had to be thus
condensed.-James Barnes, in Golfers
Weekly.

Indeed, the young fellow might well

Partial Eclipse Of the Honeymoon.

In early American households ma
ternal authority was not lightly to be
defied. When Charlotte Fenwick, a
southern beauty of the Revolutionary
period was fifteen years old, she
took advantage Of the absence Of her
mother in England to fall in love with
a n~ortherner, Maj. William Leigh
Pierce, and to marry him.
On Mrs. Fenwick's return to Savan-
nah, which had been fastened by
news Of the approach of the English
army to Charleston, she was highly
indignant to find her daughter mar
ried to a stranger.
"And who is this Major Pierce?"
she demanded.
IA gentleman, madam" young Mrs.
Pierce haughtily replied.
GO to your room, madam" COM
manded Mrs. Fenwick, severely, "and
stay the rest of the day."
And the little bride meekly obeyed.

leads to the Newport reading

W. the other day. Hands in his
pockets and ~coat-collar turned
up, he walked along with bowed head.
He was Amos Tuck French, clubman,
millionaire and brother Of Mrs. Elsie
French Vanderbilt.
Not two blocks away, around the
corne in Everett street, two laugh
ing young people were posing for
their pictures in a big automobile,
with a dog between them, says a writ
er in the New York World. She was
tall, well-groomed, arrayed in a fetch
ing frock, and nesting close to the
young fellow who sat at the wheel of
the machine. They were Mr.. and Mrs.
John Edward Paul Geraghty-the
young couple who eloped last August
she from Amos Tuck French's villa
near the Cliffs, he from his Newport
garage.
