WHAT WALLACE
HAS DONE IN THE
MAJOR LEAGUES

Bobby Wallace, the st. Louis
Browny slated to manage the Brown
team this year, has had long career
on the diamond. -'or IA years Wallace
h represented Cleveland and st.
Louis clubs in big league baseball as
a regular player.
When the Robson brothers con-
trolled tie Cleveland National ieague
club, Wallace was tied out In 1894
as a pitcher. He began to sting the
ball hard that in 1897 he was tried
ut third base and since that time he
has played the infeld, principally at
shortstop.
Wallace accompanied the Robisons
TO s.. Louis, when ths latter trans
ferred their interests to the Mound
City and I'm 1901 he was one OF the
National le-.gue players who jumped
to the American league. He jumped
to the Browns and has played with the
latter team ever since.
Wallace Is 38 years old and takes

himself a fixture and act accordingly.

CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is Inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the throat, and
If this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and a cure for sore
throat because 1t possesses extraor-
binary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just a little in a glass
of water, used as a gargle, will quick
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, 25 and Soc a box, or sent
postpaid upon receipt of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co., Boston, Mass.

body. suffered untold itching and
burning, and could not sleep. l was
greatly disfigured with scales and

been most cut off with a razor, and
my neck was perfectly raw. l suffered
untold agony and pain. l tried two
doctors who said l had eczema in its
fullest stage, and that it could not
be cured. l then tried other rem
'edies to no avail. At last, tried a set
of the genuine Cuticura Remedies,
which cured me of eczema when all
else had failed, therefore 1 cannot
praise them too highly.

MORE EXCELLENT
REPORTS FROM
WESTERN CANADA
Grains Are Heading Out
Rapidly and Harvest Is
Now Approaching With
a Great Demand for
Harvest Help.

Last week 1t was pointed out in
these columns that there would be a
yield of about 200,000,000 bushels of
wheat throughout Western Canada, an
increase of about 100000 over the
previous year, and that the demand
for farm help was very great. Con-
firmation of this news is to hand and
the cry still is for more help. The
Canadian authorities are hopeful that
the friends of the 100000 or 500, 900
Americans who have gone to Canada
during the last few years will come to
the help of these people and induce
as many able-bodied men as they pos
sibly can to take advantage of the
low rate which is being offered from
all points on the Canadian Boundary,
and particulars of which can be had
from any of the following Agents of
the Canadian Government: M. " Nc

Every facility will be afforded men
of the right stamp to secure advantage
of these low rates. To those who pro-
pose to go, it may be said that they
will have this splendid opportunity of
securing first hand information as to
the excellent producing character of
the lands in Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta. They will have the OPP
portunity of seeing some of the great
est wheat fields in the world and prob
ably the largest yield of wheat, oats
and barley that has ever been grown
on the Continent. And all this on
land some of which cost the settler
only the $1,000 necessary to enter for
his homestead, or, If he purchased,
in some cases. costing him from $500
to $1,000 per acre, but which is now
worth from $500 to $4,000 per acre.
Even at these prices the land Is re-
markedly cheap as will be realized
when the statement is made that from
20 to rs bushels per acre and over
of wheat are grown, netting the farm
er from $500 to $1,000 per acre; and
this on land that he got for nothing
or paid merely a nominal price. In
fact the production shows that $500
to $4,000 per acre would be a nominal
price for land that would produce as
these lands produce.
