ECZEMA ON BABY'S SCALP

1857 So. Paxon ST., Philadelphia, Pa.
My son, n year old, had suffered
with eczema on his scalp and occa-
sional outbreaks on his face and body
ever since he was a small baby. The
first sign of any disturbances of the
scalp was the appearance of dandruff.
Within a week large sores or scabs
had formed, covering the top of his
head where the hair was thickest. His
scalp was full of large watery scabs
that caused intense itching and loss of
sleep. He would scratch his face until
blood appeared many times, and was
unusually fretful during the day and
cried at times both day and night.
Some of his hair fell out.
Il tried some remedies that were
recommended to me but these were of
no help in relieving him. Through a
friend I heard of Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. The parts that were affect
ed 1 washed in warm Cuticura Soap
suds, and applied the Cuticura Oint-
ment afterwards. In about two weeks
they cured it entirely" (Signed) Mrs.

MOTTO FOR CHRISTIAN HOME
Ideals Which Consistently Lived Up
to, Cannot Fail to Make for Hap
piness in Life.

This home is dedicated to good will
1t grew out of love. The two heads
of the household were called together
by a power higher than they. To it's
decree they are obedient. Every tone
Of the voice, every thought of their
being, is subdued to that service.
They desire to be worthy of their
high calling, as ministers of that
grace. They know their peace will
go unbroken only for a little time.
And often they suspect that the time
will be more short even than their
anxious hope. They cannot permit so
much as one hour of that brief unity
to be touched by scorn or malice. The
worlds judgments have lost their
sting inside this door. Those who
come seeking to continue the har-
mony which these two have won are
ever welcome. The rich are welcome,
so they come simply. The poor are
welcome, for they have already
learned friendliness through buffeting.
Youth is welcome, for 1t brings the
joy which these two would learn. Age
is welcome, for it will teach them
tenderness.-Collier's Weekly.

But otherwise. nothing, not even to
the extent of displacirg a leaden pane.
Quenby hall belongs to the time
when the classic influence was gain
ing a strong hold in England. 1t
remained from its erection till the
end of the eighteenth century in pos
session of the ancient family of
Ashby, though it was on the lands OF
Quenby that the old Convent of St.
Mary de Pratis was founded in the
early twelfth century.
The hall is approached by a long
drive through a natural park of about
n hundred and seventy acres, and
from its windows there is an unin-
~terrupted view of beautiful country.
In the stately reception room is an old
massive oak carved and arched
screen, and a grand old stone chin
neypiece. The dining room is all oak
panelled. The tapestry bedroom, the
gray bedroom, the saloon, or great"
chamber, possesses something of
artistic or historic interest. 1t is full
of valuable old furniture and tapes
tries, which may be sold with the
house.
The gardens are we'll kept, the
stabling is ample and there are a

TRUCK GARDENING
AND POULTRY RAISING
THESE, AS WELL AS OTHER
MIXED FARMING BRANCHES,
PAY IN WESTERN CANADA,

Truck gardening and poultry gxow-
ing are two branches OF Agriculture
In which the farmers near the main
lines of the three transcontinental
lines traversing Western Canada are
much concerned. The abundance of
sunshine during the long days from
May to September, and adequate mois-
ture in the spring and early summer
permit of a wide variety of crops. The
soil is rich and warm and is easily
worked Close attention to cultiya-
ton has resulted in record yields of
all sorts of vegetable and small fruits
which bring good prices in the cities
and at the numerous railway ~construc-
ton camps.
MI. Harris Oium, an Alberta farmer,
came from South Dakota eleven a
ago and homesteaded the first 100
acres in his township in 1902. which
was divided between grain and pas
ture. He earned sufficient money to
buy a quarter section of railway land
at 81 an acre. The half section netted
proportionate profits and he gradually
increased his holdings to 1920 acres,
which was devoted to mixed farming
last year. He values his land at $50
an acre.
Mr.. Oium markets from 100 to 125
hogs and a similar number of beef
cattle each year. He has 200 hogs,
mostly pure bred Poland China, 25
head draft horses and 35 head of pure
bred Hereford cattle. By feeding bar
ley to hogs he estimates that the grain
nets him 80 cents a bushel, as com
pared with 40 cents, the average mar
ket price when delivered to the ware
house. His average crop of barley is
40 bushels to the acre, while oats av-
erage 80 bushels.

ment Agent, full particulars as to best

AS TO
Found Her FaVorite Again.

A bright young lady tells how she
came to be acutely sensitive as to the
taste of coffee:
My health had been very poor for
several years." she says. Il loved
coffee and drank it for breakfast, but
only learned by accident, as it were,
that it was the cause of the constant,
fered every day, and of the ervou
ness that drove sleep from my pillow
and so deranged my stomach that
everything 1 ate gave me acute pain.
(Tea is just as injurious, because it
contains caffeine, the same drug found
in coffee.)
MY condition finally got so serious
that was advised by my doctor to go
to a hospital. There they gave me
what 1 supposed was coffee, and l
thought it was the best l ever drank,
but I have since learned it was
Postum. 1 gained rapidly and came
home in four weeks.
Somehow the coffee we used at
home didn't taste right when 1 got
back. I tried various kinds, but none
tasted as good as that l drank in the
hospital, and all, brought back the
dreadful headaches and the 'sick-all-
over feeling.
"One day l got a package of Postum,
and the first taste of it 1 took, 1

UnpIcked Cranes Go to the Poor.

A curious old law, which dates from
1873, has been used to sentence the
Owner of a vineyard at Capestang,
near Beziers, France, to a fine and
costs for picking her W grapes. She
was picking the grapes which had been
left on the vines in the vineyard after
the fall gathering, when the policeman
told her that she was committing an
offense against the law, as all grape
left on the vines after the harvest
were the property of the poor. The
court at Beziers confirmed the police
mans opinion, and the woman was
convicted.

Not AItooether a Case of Love.

Here is a story to illustrate the
point that one never can judge by ap-
pearances.
"a young boy with golden curls, a
regular cherub in appearance, was on
the front porch playing with a little
dog and putting him through a lot of
tricks. A minister passed by and
was struck by the appearance of the
little chap and the celebrity with which
the dog obeyed all his commands.
"'Ah, little boy he said, you must
love your dog, Are you good to
him?'
Sure answered the cherub.
"'And l suppose he loves you,
too, and that's why he minds you SO
well?'
well, if he didn't mind me. I'd
knock his blooming block off, was the
unexpected retort of the child"
