The reckless and insolent automo-
bilist is hated the world over. In the
Philippines, where most of the auto
mobilists are foreigners, and where
the natives have been used to loiter
comfortably in the roads after the
fashion of easy-going southern coun-
tries, the automobiles have long been
a grievance. and, failing to secure eff
fectiye regulation, the Filipinos have
adopted the practice of rolling big
boulders into the roadway as a hint
not to turn corners at a breakneck
speed.

Hickman, Ky.-The city officials Of

and little food. The situation is the
most critical since the first water en-

gees are iocking here from Missouri
and Kentucky points.
Local merchants have sold all their
stocks, and, though the churches and
public buildings have been thrown
open to the refugees, there are still
hundreds unsheltered in the hills back
of the town. The last block Of the
business district has been inundated,
and part of the town is under 10 feet
of water.

Rash ALL OVER BABY's BODY
ltChed So He Could Not Sleep

ION July 81, 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 a. doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form of a
rash and was all " baby's body,
head and face, at different times. 1t
irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
it developed into sores, and we were
afraid it 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 it used to
itch and burn at night SO bad that the
child could not sleep. He was com
pletely covered with it at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura SoSp 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

Congress to Withhold Appropriation


Washington, d. C.-Unless Missis-
sippi food conditions become worse,
congress will not appropriate money
for the relief Of the food victims,
Chairman Fitzgerald of the house ap-
preparation committee stated after a
conference with President Taft and
Red Cross officials.
In so far as the president is ad.
vised, the war department, Red Cross
and local authorities are able to afford
ample relief for those made homeless
by the foods" Fitzgerald stated. 1--WE
will hold in allegiance the James reso-
luton appropriating $250,0 900 for relief
of the food sufferers"
Governors of Missouri, Kentucky
and Tennessee, t~elegraphed the Red
Cross office here asking aid. 1t sent
$1,000 to the flood district. A hasty
inventory of all stores available in
the quartermaster's department re-
vealed the fact that only 100 suitable
tents are left in the st. Louis depot,
the nearest supply station to the food
ed district. Notwithstanding the OPP
timistic opinion expressed by Fitzger-
aid, reports of army engineers to the
war department were that conditions
along the Mississippi were worse than
in the big flood Of 1897.

why PEOPLE GO TO
CANADA

Those who are wondering why the
number OF Americans going to Canada
year by year increases in the rates
that it does, would not be so surprised
We're 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 $50 acres or on land which he may
purchase at from SIS. to $40. per acre,
fully as good as the 500. and $3.50.
per acre land Of his native state, and
which his means will not permit his
purchasing. On the part of the mem
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 praiseworthy)
that will make the land laws of the
United States much easier.
1t 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 it any wonder that increased
interest is aroused and a determine
ton arrived at, to participate in the
new-found way up in Canada that
means wealth and health and all that
accompanies 1t.
William Johnston, who formerly
lived at Alexandria, Mimi. settled in
the Alberg District neal Battle River
and in writing to one of the Canadian
Government agents, located in the
United States says: I'VE have had no
failures of crops during our nine years
In Canada. l threshed 1908 bushels of
wheat and 1883 bushels of oats in 1911,
off my 100 acres. This Is a beautiful

Good reasons to account for the
number going to Canada.

and hurried preparations were made
to combat a serious flood. Men rushed
to the scene, fully expecting to find a
break, but discovered that the water
was coming from an overflow Of the
discharge race of a drainage pump
working near the levee. This race, be-
coming clogged, resulted in a great
volume of water flowing back into the
town instead of being emptied into the
open river beyond the levee.
"The situation is now well in hand,
and no danger is apprehended," the
statement of the local weather bureau
declares.
The drainage district above town
presents a desolate scene. Lumber,
parts of houses and sheds and other
debris floats about the district in wa
ter probably 10 feet deep, while here
and there the tops of houses may be
seen.
The break in the Mobile G Ohio en-
bankment was the beginning of the
end. Water ran through the crevasse
all day, but hope was entertained of
stopping the flow at the Illinois Cen
trail right of way. A fresh break &C.
Cured in the Big Four embankment
near the plant of the Pioneer Pole
and Shaft company. With a rush the
water swept in, hurting small houses
and lumber piles before them. All
along a five-mile stretch of levee from
the Illinois Central bridge to Cache
river the water was UP to the very
top of the levee. There was nothing
to build on and no hope whatever of
checking the flow.
Not n of the five railroads enter
ing Cairo can operate a train into the
city. The Illinois Central was the last
n to give up. More than 5000 feet
of its track was washed out by the
flood in the drainage district. The
little tug boat connection of the Big
Four, between Cairo and Mound City,.
is the only outlet for travel.
