RASH ALL OVER BABYS BODY
ItChed So He Could Not Sleep

ION July q, 1909, we left Boston for
a trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in ireland
a few days a nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to doc
tor who gave us. medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form Of a
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, ut different times. 1t
irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
afraid 1t would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when We reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and 1t used to
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with 1t at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement, and baby
is completely cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. We have no fur

Saw, After He Had Proved
lie Temper.

Mr.. 4, who was planning to
build an outdoor sleeping porch at the
back Of his house. had an expensive
new saw sent home from hardware
store. He left his Office early the next
afternoon, with the intention Of get
ting the porch well under way before
dinner; and, as he was very much In
terested in doing the work himself. he
donned a pair Of overalls and went at
It In good spirits. An hour or SO later
he came tramping into the house, his
face dark with evaporation. and flung
himself down in disgust.
THAT new saw l bought isn't worth
cents" he stormed. why. the thing
won't cut butter!"
His small son Tommy looked up In
wide-eyed surprise.
"oh. yes. 1t would, daddy" he said.

why PEOPLE GO TO
CANADA

Those who are wondering why tho
number Of Americans going to Canada
year by year increases in the rates
that It does, would not be so surprised
were they to accompany one of the
numerous excursions that are being
run under the auspices Of the Govern
ment from several Of the states, and
remain with the settler until he gets
onto the free homesteads, which, as
stated by Speaker Champ Clark, in the
u. s. senate the other day, comprises
100 acres Of the most fertile soil and
with remarkably easy settlement con-
ditions. Then watch the results,
whether It be on this free homestead
Of 100 acres or on land which he may
purchase at from SIS. to $40. per acre,
fully as good as the 800. and $3.50.
per acre land Of his native state, and
which his means will not permit his
purchasing. On the part Of the men,
bers of the U. s. Senate and Congress
there is nothing but praise for Canada.
Canadian laws and Canadian lands al
though the reasonable desire is shown
in their remarks, that they pass legis-
lation, (Which is very praisewoBthy)
that will make the land laws of the
United States much easier.
It is the success Of the American
settler in Canada that attracts others,
and when experiences such as the fol-
lowing are related to the friend back
home" is 1t any wonder that increased
interest is aroused and determine
ton arrived at, to participate in the
new-found way up in Canada that,
means wealth and health and all that
accompanies it.
William Johnston, who formerly
lived at Alexandria, MIMI, settled in
the Alberg District near Battle River
and in writing to one Of the Canadian
Government agents, located in the
United States says: I'VE have had no

Good reasons to account for the

Of $175.OOO,OOO as the treasury once
planned, of of $2OO,OOO.OOO as it
planned at another time, the outstand-
ing paper money swelled and swelled
until 1t had exceeded the $1,0O0,OOO,-
600 of midsummer, 1863.
The banks of Virginia tried to pro-
tect themselves and the treasury by
refusing to receive the deprecated
currency, but in vain. When soldiers
in the trenches of Petersburg were
paying $40 for tin plate from which
to eat their frugal meals, and 5000 or
$500 for a pair Of boots, the people
were still clamoring for larger issues
OF paper.
