FLAX is PROFITABLE
Wonderful Paying Proposition In
Western Canadian Prairies.

So much is heard Of the wheat, oats
and barley grown in the, prairie lands
OF western Canada, and SO much has
been told of the wealth to be made
out of the raising of cattle on
the succulent and rich grasses
of those fertile plains, that q
most important product has been al
most lost sight Of, Flax Recent press
reports advise rs that on one of the
last boats to clear from Fort William
lat the head of Lake SUPERIOR for
Buffalo, there were 241, 900 bushels Of
fax valued at 1888, 22O, and on another
boat leaving the same day there were
2SS, 900 bushels valued at $720,000-
There has been a big demand for Ca
madam fax this season, and the lake
movement has teen very heavy. Flax
is always sure crop, and gives to
the farmer who is anxious for quick
return after getting on his land, the
chance he is looking for. There is
opportunity for thousands yet, on the
free homesteads OF $50 acres, and
many of these are available within
short distance of the lines of railway
that are already built or under con-
branches Besides these free grant
lands there is an opportunity to pur-
chase from railway and land COM
panies at Reasonable prices.
The display OF western Canada's
grains in the straw as well as
threshed grains and grasses recently
made at st. Louis was au excellent
demonstration of what the country can
do. 1t proved splendid as an illustration
of the resources of that vast prairie
country, which during the past year
has again proven its ability to pro-
duce excellent yields of wheat, oats
and barley-and fax. Not only this,
but the splendid herds of cattle are
a source of large revenue. There is
a fund of information to be had by
reading the Canadian government lit
erature, copies OF which may be had
free by applying to your nearest Ca
madam government agent.

Their Last Hope Gone.

When the minister praised the rasp-
berry jam at Mrs. Green's bountiful
Saturday night supper, he could not
imagine why Angie and Horatio, the
twins, gazed at him so reproachfully.
Don't you like raspberry jam, my lit
tie MANI" he asked Horatio.
Yes, sir, 1 do. and Angie does, ;"
said Horatio in distinctly resentful
tones, land mother told US that she
was afraid the last she made wasn't
quite up to the mark, and if you didn't
praise it, Angie and could have it for
luncheon on our bread, for Mrs. Willis
and Mrs Shedd never said a word

gloomily at his twin, who returned the
look in kind.-Youth's Companion.

Currency That May Be Said to Defy
the Efforts of Most Expert
Counterfeiters.

About the year 1919 great outcry
was raised against the Bank OF Eng
land for not adopting a style Of note
that could not be initiated, at the
same time preventing the sacrifice of
life which at that period was all too
common, the punishment for forgery
being death. The subject at last be-
came so pressing that the government
appointed commissioners to investi-
gate cause OF the numerous iorg-
cries. whether a mode could be de-
yised whereby the forging OF bank
notes might be prevented The re-
suit was the bank note of today The

STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS

Some nine years ago 1 noticed
small pimples breaking out on the
back of my hands. They became very
Irritating, and gradually became
worse, so that 1 could not sleep at
night. I consulted a physician who
treated me a long time, but it got
worse, and could not put my hands
In water. I was treated at the hos
pital, and 1t was just the same. I was
told that it was a very bad case of
eczema. Well, I just kept on using
everything that I could for nearly
eight years until was advised to try
Cuticura Ointment. / did so, and
found after a few applications and by
bandaging my hands well up that the
burning sensations were disappearing,
I could sleep well, and did not have
any itching during the night. began
after while to use Cuticura Soap for
a wash for them, and think by using
the Soap and Ointment 1 was much
benefited. I stuck tc the Cuticura
treatment, and thought If I could use
other remedies for over seven years
with no result, and after only having
a few applications and finding ease
from Cuticura Ointment, l thought it
deserved a fair trial with a severe
and stubborn case. I used the Oint-
ment and Soap for nearly six months,
and I am glad to say that l have
hands as clear as anyone.
TT is my wish that you publish this
letter to all the world, and If anyone
doubts it, let them write me and 1
will give them the name of my physi-
clan, also the hospital I was treated
at" (Signed) Miss Mary A. Bentley,
