SPEAKER CLARK NOT JOKING
Dem roc ratio Statesman Simply Fool
ish In His Recent Remarks
ASout Canada

Speaker Clark's rsiteration OF his
personal opinion that Canada ought
TO be annexed to the United States.
and would be some day. was made the
subject OF question to the Ministry
in the British House o; Commons the
other day
Under Foreign Secretary Ackland
replied that he understood that the
speech OF Mr.. Clark was no, intended
seriously" Therefore the foreign of
hce would decline TO instruct Ambas-
sador Bryce to report fully on the IN
cidenu
Under Secretary Ackland's answer
was charitable. and also somewhat
contemptuous. a. was natural In

great officers OF government. such as
Mr.. Clark Is. will think before they

country. II 10 the custom Of govern

not. he was in error. The Hon. Champ
Clark was as serious In his remarks
about Canadian annexation as Is pos
sible for a person OF his mental cal

II Is true that the Hon Champ
Clark did not express the opinions OF
the American people. Not one Amer

BABY'S ECZEMA AND BOILS

My son was about three weeks old
when l noticed breaking-out on his
cheeks, from which a watery sub
stance oozed. A short time after. his
arms, shoulders and breast broke out
also. and in few days became solid
scab. ! became alarmed, and called
our family physician who at once pro-
nounced the disease eczema. The lit
Gle fellow was under treatment for
about three months. By the end Of
that time. he seemed no better. I be-
came discouraged. l dropped the doc
tors treatment, and commenced the
use OF Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
and in a few days noticed marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter. When he was about seven months
old. all trace of the eczema was gone.
During his teething period. his
head and face were broken out in
boils which l cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been a great sufferer. During
the time OF teething and from the time
/ dropped the doctors treatment. l
used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment, nothing else. and when two
years old he was the picture of health.
His complexion was soft and beauti-
full. and his head a mass of silky curls.
