ECZEMA ITCHED AND BURNED

R. F. D. No. 2, Seymour, Mo.-"My
scalp broke out with fine pimples at
the start. They itched and burned SO
much that I was compelled to scratch
them and they would tester and come
to a head and break out again. The
trouble was attended by such burning
and itching I could not Sleep. also
when ! sweat it burned the same.
My hair fell out gradually and the
scalp kept rough and dry with itching
and burning. After about two years
the pimples broke out between my
shoulders. My clothing irritated them.
I was troubled with that eczema five
or six years.

WESTERN GANADA'S
NATURAL RESOURCES
PETROLEUM, NATURAL GAS, COAL
AND FARM LANDS.

The developments that have taken
place recently in the oil and gas fields
Of Western Canada have but added
another to the many previous evil
dences that have been produced,
showing the great wealth that has
been an unknown asset for SO many
generations.
The latest reports from the OIL
fields at Calgary show that there is a
production there that would appear
to equal the best paying fields on the
continent. Experts have been on the
ground for some time. 1t is said that
one of the wells is able to produce
1000 gallons an hour. If this is so
there are but about a dozen wells in
the world of greater production. Dur
ing the past week discoveries Of sur
face indications have been made which
show that oil exists over a consider
able portion Of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan, while in Manitoba there have al.
so been showings. At Battleford,
Saskatchewan, a few days ago discov-
cries we're made which led to the fill.
ing for leases on twenty thousand
acres of land, all having strong sur
face indications. Companies were
formed to carry on immediate work,
and in a couple of months, or probably
less, the story will be told whether oil
exists in paying quantities.
But there are also the coal deposits
and the natural gas deposits that are
helping to make Of Western Canada
one of the wealthiest portions of the
continent.
With the grain fields covering these
hidden riches it is no wonder that a
continued range of optimism is to be
seen everywhere. Early reports of
seeding of all grains being successful
ly completed all over the country are
followed by reports of excellent and
strong growth everywhere. During
the first week in June most of the
wheat had reached a growth of from
twelve to twenty inches, with the most
even appearance, almost universally,
that has been seen for years. Oats
appeared equally well, and covered the
ground in a way that brought the
broadcast kind Of a grin to ~overspread
the farmers countenance.
Barley, a ~favorite with the hog rails
ers, had taken good root, and was
crowding oats for a first place, as to
length Of shoot. Cultivated fodder
grasses are getting great attention,
as a consequence of the inclination to
go more largely into mixed farming,
and the raising of hogs, cattle and
horses. The weather is reported fine,
just what is needed, and if present
favorable conditions continue, the
grain crop Of Western Canada for 1914
will be the largest average in the his
tory of the country.-Advertisement.

TEACHING the Children.

In the Woman's Home Companion
appears a department called "The Ex-

give household suggestions. A Texas
woman tells, as follows, how she has
taught her children to pick up their
playthings:
Being a busy homekeeper with
three healthy babies to watch over, /

One great problem is to get scattered
toys picked up and put away in proper

train and it's a very simple matter to
get my men to push the car around

several new features which have not

new coherer 20 times as sensitive as
those now in use. This will enable
aviators to receive messages as well
as send them. To the present time
the wireless instrument used on aero
planes have been only to transmit,
and the inability to receive messages
has kept the operators tied to their
