RASH SPREAD TO ARMS

759 Roach Ave. Indianapolis, Ind
Eat first I noticed small eruptions on
my face. The trouble began as rash.
It looked like red pimples. In a few
days they spread to my arms and back.
They itched and burned so badly that
7 scratched them and of course the re-
suit ms blood and matter. The erup-
tons festered, broke, opened and drieC
up, leaving the skin dry and scaly. I
spent many sleepless nights, my back,
arms and face burning and itching;
sleep was purely and simply out OF
the question. The trouble also caused
Disagreement My clothing irritated

by this time I had used several
well-known remedies without success.
The trouble continued Then I began
to use the sample Of Cuticura Soap

A PENALTY OF AGE

The tendency of advancing years to
restrict activity and exercise is re-
sponsibIe for the constipated condition
Of most elderly people. The wear Of
years impaiTs the action of the bow
els and the digestive organs are more
sensitive TO the demands upon them
and rebel more quickly. CathaTtics
and purgatives are violent and dras-

used to correct constipation. a mild,
yet positively effective remedy, and
one that is recommended b. physi-
clans as well as by thousands who
have used it. is the compound of sim

ROYALTY WELCOMES THE
AMERICAN SETTLER
HIS ROYAL RICHNESS, THE DUKE
OF C0NNAUGHT, WELCOMES
AMERICANS TO CANADA.

II was a happy speech, that on that
beautiful October day, the Duke of
Connaught, GovernorGeneraI of Can
ada, made at Macleod, Alberta. It
was an opportune speech, heartful
and resonant with good fellowship.
And, as it was specially intended for
American ears. the audience. com
prised largely Of so many American
settlers ia Canada. the time and place
could not have been better chosen.
It was IN reply to an address Of vel
come rendered to him at the pretty
city Of E9oIgod, with the foothills Of
the Rockies as a setting, and the
great wheat fields between, and in
fact all around the place as the fore
ground, tbat His Highness, true to the
best interests of the country and 20
those Of the Americans who choose
to make Canada their home, said in
part:
7 am well aware that among those
whom Z am now addressing, there are
2 very great proportion who were not
born under the British flag. Most Of
these viii have realized by now that
residence under that flag implies no
disabilities. All we ask is that the
laws Of Canada should be obeyed.
With this provision every one is
free to come and go. to marry. to live
and to die as seems best to him, and
Is TT pEeases Providence.
I'VE bring no pressure to bear on
anyone to- adopt the Canadian nation
ality, for We do not value citizenship
which is obtained under compulsion.
Our American cousins are welcome
from over the border. Thrice we vel
come our Canadian and British broth
ers. who return to the Union Jack. aft
er living under the Stars and Stripes.
History is repeating itself For
many years hundreds of young Brit
ishers have sought fortune in the
western States. Time has brought
about q change, and the tide has set
in the other direction, bringing across
the frontier numbers of our neighbOrs
to whom we are glad to return hos
pitalities
"One of the chief dispensers of such
hospitality in proportion to its popu-
lation has, as we have said, changed
its character from an important cat
tie town to a thriving wheat producing
area
What it has lost from the pictur-
esque point of view, it has gained in
the material side, and I wish, in con-
clusion, to express the hope that the
prosperity which has evinced itself
here for the past ten years, may con
tinue undated in the future"
There is no reason why at a hun
bred places on this educative, instruct
i've and interesting trip of His Royal
IIighness he might not have express
ed himself in the same terms, and on
each occasion, addressed large gather

WEDDING RING
 IS ATTACKED


 London. February 17. Will there be a campaign against the wedding ring as well as against the use of the word "obey' in the marriage service?
 Speaking at University college, Gower street. on the "Fvolution of England, V Professor A. r. Pollard alluded to the campaign directed against the word eobey" in the marriage service. He believed. he said, there was something common in origin between the ring put through the nose of the wild bull and the ring which was put on certain finger of a lady's hand. IL implied originally certain amount of control and certain amount perhaps of cap tivity and obedience.
 Now that we are getting rid of lobe dience" there would perhaps be can- paign against the ring as well. The only objection to that was that the ring was quite useful form of adver- tisement.
