PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago l had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. l would scratch those places
until they would bleed before / could
get any relief Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh I'M
,derneath would look red and feverish,
Sometimes it would begin to itch until
it would waken me from my sleep,
and l would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced 1t dry
eczema" l used an ointment which
the doctor gave me, but 1t did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies AS this trouble has
been in our family for years. and is
considered hereditary, ] felt anxious
to try to head it off. l got the Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills. and
they seemed to be just what | needed
THE disease was making great
Roadway on my system until got
the Cuticura Remedies which hREe
cleared my skin Of the great pest
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now. have never felt
any of its pest, and l am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet. and l hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment

WOULD DO HENRY MUCH GOOD
Wise Wife Appreciated the Bishops
Reply to Her Too Serious
Young Husband.

At the opening Of large relig-
ious meeting in Iowa few years ago
missionary bishop from a neigh
boring state took the usual steps
toward putting his audience in good
humor by paying some compliments
to the state in which they were as
sembled. He praised the products
Of Iowa one by one, and congratu-
lated the people on living in SO rich
a land.
When his speech was ended SOL
emn young clergyman rose and said
that he ventured to call the bishops
attention to one serious omission
from the list of Iowa products,
namely-eggs. The bishop, album
dainty endowed with humor, prompt
ly replied, to the delight of the as
sembly:
81 am extremely glad to learn
that the hens of Iowa have so COM
petent young rooster to crow for
them"
Now, besides his humor, the bish-
up had a tender heart, and could not
help fearing that his impulsive re-
tort might have wounded the young
man-to say nothing of the young
mans wife. When he met her at
reception after the meeting his fears
were happily dispelled.
81 want to thank you," she said,
''for your speech-especially for
your answer to my husband. 1t will
do Henry great deal of good"
Fortunate Henry! Fortunate ev-
cry young husband with an inclina-
ton to take himself too seriously

COUNTRY BOARD.

Simeon Ford, New York's humor-

country board.
'"Some of it Is pretty steep" he
said. 81 once boarded at a farm in
Vermont. While l was stopping
there the postmaster said TO me:
eyer putin up at a fine place,

in me this mornin' how long she

The United States wheat Crop.

Census statistics relative to the
wheat crop cover acreage, produc-
ton and value for the crop year
1909 as compared with 1899. The
area of wheat harvested decreased
50, $4,000 acres IN 1899 to a.
261, 900 acres in 1909, a decrease
of 8,328,000 acres, or 1873 per
cent. Notwithstanding this de-
crease in acreage there was a
slight increase in production,
which rose from 685, 534, 900 BUSH
els in 1899 to 6S3, $50, 900 in 1909,
an increase of about $4,000, 900
bushels, or 3.8 per cent. The av-
erage production per acre, doubt
less in part by reason of temporary
weather conditions, rose from IL. 5
bushels to 15.4 bushels. On the
other hand, the average value of
wheat per bushel increased from
Sc cents to SO cents, ar about II
per cent.
Out of the total of 44,261 ,003
acres in wheat in 1909, the two
North Central divisions contained
nearly three-fourths, 1908, O25
acres lying in the eastern section
and 25, $685. TAG acres Tor nearly 60
per cent. of the total for the Uni
ted States) lying in the western
section. A little over one-tenth
of the area planted in wheat was
found in the Mountain and Pacific
divisions, the States in the Noun
tain division having 1924, 800
acres, and those in the Pacific d.
vision having 3,359,419 acres.
The two South Central divisions
together contained 2,871, $50 acres,
and the South Atlantic 2,241, 345
acres, while the New England and
Middle Atlantic divisions to-
gether contained 1,603,218 acres.
With the exception of the West
North Central and Mountain dis
visions, there were large decreases
in the acreage of wheat in all the
geographical divisions during the
decade. In the West North Cen
trail division the land in wheat
rose from 25,085,000 acres to 25,-
$4,000 acres, or only 81 per
cent, large increases in the wheat
acreage in North Dakota and Kan
sas being practically offset by
large decreases in the acreage in
Minnesota, Iowa and South Da-
kota. In the East North Central
division the area in wheat de-
creased from 10,411,O0O acres in
1899 to 7,03S, 900 acres in 1909, a
decrease of nearly 3, 400, 900 acres,
or 80. 4 per cent.-the largest alb
solute decrease in any of the di,
visions. Of the total production
of wheat in 1909, 683, 349, 697
bushels, the West North Central
division contributed considerably
over one-half, and together with
the East North Central division,
produced sos, 1885, $50 bushels, OF
