ECZEMA IN RED BLoTCHES

205 Kanter Ave, Detroit, Mich
Some time last summer l was taken
with eczema. It began in my hair
first with red blotches, then scaly,
spreading to my face. The blotches
were red on my face, dry and scaly,
not large; on my scalp they were
larger, some scabby. They came on
my hands. The inside of my hands
were all little Jumps as though full of
shot about one-sixteenth of an inch
under the skin. Then they went to
the outside and between and all over
my fingers. 1t also began on the bot
toms of my feet and the calves of my
legs, and itch, oh, my! I never had
anything like it and hope never will
again. The itching was terrible. MY
hands got so 1 could scarcely work.
II tried different eczema ointments
but without results. I also took medi-
cine for it but it did no good. I saw
the advertisement for a sample OF

Bowels Get Weak
As Age Advances
The First Necessity is TO
Keep the Bowels Gently
Open With q Mild
Laxative Tonic

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition of the
bowels that great care should be taken
TO see that they act regularly. The fact
is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive
and the liver does not store up the
Juices that are necessary to prompt
digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eat
ing easily digested foods ans by
plenty of exercise. but this latte, is
irksome to most elderly people One
thing is certain. that a state OF CON
stipation should always be avoided as
it is dangerous 10 life and health. The
best plan is to take mild laxative
as often as is deemed necessary. But
with equal certainty II is suggested
that cathartics, pargatives, physics,
salts and pills be avoided, as they do

as TO be shock 10 delicate system.
A much better plan. and one that

WESTERN CANADA'S
PHENOM EMAIL
DEVELOPMENT
ITS PERMANENcY VERY LITTLE
QUESTIONED.


There have been booms in. almost
every civilized country and they were
looked upon as such, and in the course
of time the bubble was pricked and
they burst. But in no country has the
development been as great nor as
rapid, whether in city or in country,
as in Western Canada. There may
sometimes be found one who will say
Can it last?" Winnipeg, today, stands
where Chicago stands as far as be-
ing the base of the great commercial
and agricultural country lying a
thousand miles back of it, 1t has an
advantage that Chicago did not have,
for no country in the worlds history
has attracted to its borders larger
number of settlers in so short q time.
or has attracted so much wealth in a
period of equal length, as have the
Canadian prairies. Never before has
pioneering been accomplished under
conditions so favorable as those that
exist in Western Canada today.
The provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan, and Alberta have the
largest area of desirable lands on the
| North American Continent, and their
cultivation has just 5egun.
Even with a two hundred million
bushel wheat crop less than eight per
cent. of the land is under the plough,
| four per cent. being in wheat Less
than five years ago the wheat crop
was only seventy-one million bushels.
1t is simple calculation to estimate
! that If four per cent. of the available
cultivable area produces something
over two hundred million bushels,
what will forty-four per cent. produce?
| And then look at the immigration that
is coming into the country. In 1901
it was 49,149; 1900 being from the
United States. In 1906 it was $4,000,
| of which $1,000 were Americans, and
in 1912 it was about 100000, of which
about 100000 are Americans. In the
three years prior to 1912, there we're

| The American farmer is a man of
/ shrewd business instincts, and when
he finds that he can sell his own farm
at from 500 to 5000 per acre and move
into Canada and homestead 100 acres
for himself, and similarly for all his
sons who are adult and Of age, upon
! lands as rich and fertile as those he
had left, and producing, indeed, sew
eral bushels to the acre IN excess of
anything he has ever known, it will
take more than an ordinary effort to

He can also purchase good lands at
