ERUPTION ON ANKLE BURNED

Kingsville, Mo.-"My trouble began
eighteen years ago. Nearly half of
the time there were running sores
around my ankle; sometimes it would
be two years at a time before they
were healed. There were many nights
I did not sleep because of the great
suffering. The sores were deep rum
ming ones and SO sore that / could not
bear for anything to touch them.
They would burn all the time and
sting like a lot of bees were confined
around my ankle. / could not bear to
scratch it, 1t was always SO sensitive
to the touch. I could not let. my
Clothes touch 1t. The skin was very
red. l made what I called q cap out
Of white felt, blotting paper and soft
white cloth to hold it in shape. This
I Ore night and day.
I tried many remedies for most Of
the eighteen years with no effect.
Last summer / sent for some Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. The very first
time l used Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment / gained relief; they relieved the
pain right then. 1t was three months
from the time I commenced using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment until the
sores were entirely healed. I have
not been troubled since and my ankle

LITTLE CHANCE TO LAND HIM
Either Young Man Was Very Slow or
the Bait Was Not Sufficiently
Attractive.

Reginald Vanderbilt said at a pre-
Easter wedding in New York:
How interesting it would be If we
could know how all these pretty we'd
dings came about! Often, no doubt,
the girls themselves brought them
about, unless, indeed, the man was
too Unfortunately dense, like Travers.
"Travers met a pretty girl last win
ter in Bermuda. He danced with her,
he wheeled with her for strawberries
and cream, and he bathed with her in
the pretty blue pool with it's lining of
tiles.
But he didn't propose. Was he too
bashful? The girl, at any rate, one
afternoon in a tea garden, offered to
read his future, and. holding his big
brown hand in her slim white one,
she murmured, as her finger moved
delicately across his palm:
""This line indicates that before
you lies-happiness.'
She paused with downcast eyes.
But nothing followed. The young man
sat beside her, grinning sheepishly.
Her lip curled in disdain, and she
added. in a clear, cold voice:
"'But this other line indicates that
you'll never overtake that future.
You're too Slow"

Quite naturally the man with the
most magnetism is the one who gets
things coming his way.
No Argument.

Andrew Carnegie, apropos of a war
advocate, told a New York reporter a
little story.
The arguments of this war advo-
cate-the argument that warfare per-
fects a mans character, for example
are just as senseless al that of the
Bullfrog fire-eater.
THE sheriff of Bullfrog told a fire.
eater that, since he had already killed
seven men, he must cease to go armed.
What roared the t~ire-eater.
What. me not go armed? And every
little Bullfrog wild flower has a pistol
and shoots!'"

w. e. Lewis formerly lived near
Dayton, Ohio. He went to Saskatche-
van seven years ago with $1,S00 in
money, a carload of household effects
n farm implements, including four
horses and three cows. OF course, the
hrst year he only got feed from the
crops. but the second year had 100
acres in wheat which made over $500
bushels. He has not had a failure in
crop, and at present has % head OF
horses, Is head of cattle and So hogs,
and own 1920 acres of land, all ull-
del cultivation. He has been offered
$35 an acre for his land, and should
he care to dispose of his holdings he
could pay all his debts and have $780,
600 to the good; but, as he says,
Where could | go to invest my money
and get as good returns" He con-
tinues in his letter to the immigration
department, August, 1912:
I'VE have equally as good if not
better prospects for crops this year as
we had three years ago, when our
wheat ranged from 80 to 4S bushels
per acre. / never believed such crops
could be raised until ] saw them my
self. / had Is acres that year that
made so bushels to the acre. Our
harvest will be ready by the 18th.
We have this season in crop 400 acres
of wheat. 1875 Of oats, 80 of flax and
run three binders with four men to

this country and the winters. although
the winters are cold at times, but we
do not suffer is one would think.

be duplicated in almost any Of the
