BREAKING OUT ON LEG

Hilltop. Kan.-.About two years ago
lbegan to notice breaking out on my
leg. At first it was very small but
soon it began to spread until It formed
large blotches. The itching was ter
rible and almost constant. Many
nights could not sleep at all. After
scratching it to relieve the itching 1t
would burn so dreadfully that
thought could not stand 1t. For near.
~ year tried all kinds OF salves
and ointment, bAt found no relief.
Some salves seemed to make It worse
until there were ugly sores, which
would break open and run.
One day saw an advertisement Of
Cuticura Remedies. got sample Of

with the Cuticura Soap, then applying
the Cuticura Ointment twice day.

CANADA WINS AGAIN
THE COLORADO SILVER TROPHY
FOR OATS WON A SECOND
TIME eY CANADA.

The most recent achievement OF
Canada's West is winning for the sec
ond time the magnificent $500 silver
trophy awarded by the State OF Colo
RADIO for the best peck Of oats. At
f Columbus Ohio, in 1911, ]. c. Hill &
Sons OF Lloydminsters Saskatchewan.
placed q peck OF oats grown on their
farm in competition, with oats from
every part of the world. The judges
had no difficulty In deciding, and the
award was given to the Saskatchewan
grown oats. In 1912, the Corn Expo
sttion had no exhibition, and our Ca
madam friends, although ready for .
second contest had no opportunity.
In 1913, the exhibition Of the Society
was held at Columbus. 8. c.. and it 10
said Of it that it was one Of the best
yet held. At this exhibition, which
comprised corn and all the smaller
grains, ELL & Sons Of Lloydminster
had on exhibition for the contest an
other peck Of oats grown on their
Saskatchewan farm, in 1912. There
was no trouble for the judges. no time
necessarily lost in reaching . decision.
Hill & Sons won, and for the second
time their name will appear on the
crest Of the cup. The third space Will
doubtless be occupied by their name,
and then this splendid trophy will be
theirs.
During the past few years Western
Canada grains-wheat, oats, barley and
lax-have been in competition with
|, grains from all other countries, and in
every case their superiority has been
shown. It is not only In oats. but It
is in wheat, In barley and In flax, that
Canada more than holds its own. when
placed side by side with grains from
other parts.

HISTORIC TUB IN DEMAND.

Washington, D. c., Feb 6.-The big

representative in congress at the time
the Maine relics were being handed
out was alive to his job. When he
told the citizens of Urbana he had OBJ
tanned Maine relic he did not say
what it was, consequently when the
big bathtub arrived it shocked the
aesthetic taste of Urbana and was
hied off to a chicken coop, where it has
reDosed ever since.
Recently the mayor of Urbana no

Witnstanding that the past six years,
following the appearance of the boil
Weevil, have comprised a period OF
"hard times in West Feliciana,
scarcely exceeded by the years i'm
mediattely succeeding the civil war.
the True Democrat has drawn such
liberal support frem other parts of
the state that it has been enabled
not only to keep the pot a-bilin' !, :

and provide itself with an equipment
Of up-to-date Iype.-setting and print

Parcel Post in Other Countries.

Germany is regarded as having the
most complete parcel post system in
the world. The maximum weight Of
parcels accepted for transmission by
parcel post in that country is Ito
pounds. There is no limit to the
size of parcels handled, but so per
cent additional is charged for I'M
wieldy packages such as pots of
flowers, plants, etc. A German mile
is four times as long as an Amer1-
can mile, and the rates in Germany,
while they seem as high as in this
country, are, therefore, in reality
much lower.
Even Japan has a good parcel post
system. The Japanese people live
very simply and special articles must
be ordered from the large towns;
but the government has received no
complaint from rural shopkeepers
about the parcel post initiating
against them. Parcel post has been
popular in Japan since its inception,
and its benefits are fully recognized
by the people. 1t fills an important
need in Japan, where the private for
warding business has not reached the
same state Of efficiency as elsewhere.
The government is receiving con-
slant applications and petitions for
the extention of the weight and size
Of mailable parcels.
incidentally it is worthy of notice
that the postal service of Great Bri-
tain, with the parcel post in oper-
alton, showed a surplus of So, 874, 070.
in 1859. This is aAmetty fair answer
to thy assertion Gthat the United
States can not afford the expense
of parcel post, when it has been
thaxeXgerienc of alLSoreign countries
that tnssspareel post business is ex-
tremely profitable. Without a parcel
post the deficit of the postal service
of the United States in 1909 was
$40, 7Oa,861:: the same year IN which
Great Britain with its parcel post
showed a surplus Of more than twice
that amount.
