The eczema started on my fingers, then
spread all over my hands. 1t broke
out in tiny blisters. then would xet
dry and crack and swell SO I could not
have my hands in warm water they
hurt me SO badly. I could not do all
my work The itching and burning
were terrible. The more I scratched
my hands the worse it made them.
They were so bad I could not help
scratching them and would walk the
floor they annoyed nj SO. ! could not
sleep, lost many nights Of rest on &C.
count OF the eczema. My hands were
not fit to be seen and I kept them
wrapped up and wore mittens that I
made out Of old linen.
II was about one year using m
dies, then l saw an advertisement in
the paper saying that Cuticura Soap
and Ointment were good. / wrote at
once for a sample. Then I bought one
cake Of Cuticura Soap and one box
OF Cuticura Ointment. Before the sec.

CANADA's HUGE GRAIN BINS
Port Arthur Paper ls Peeved at the
Mention Of Kansas City Elevators.

From the Port Arthur (Oanada) Evening Chronicle
Kansas City gains the attention Of
the New York Evening Post and is
given five inches Of space in that adj
mirable newspaper by reason Of in.
creasing the capacity of a grain ele-
vator there. The Evening Post says:
when the additions and alterations
to Its huge grain elevator at Kansas
City now under way are completed the
Missouri Pacifc-Iron Mountain rail-
road will have one Of the largest
plants of its kind in the world"
The present capacity of the Kansas
City product is one million bushels.
When 1t gains its promised stature
and becomes zone of the largest in
the world it will have a capacity of
2,133,o00 bushels.
at the mention Of grain elevators
the twin ports at the head Of the lakes
prick up their ears and take notice.
The name Of Lloyd-George at a Tory
garden party, or Of President Wilson
at a bankers convention catches at
tention nc quicker than the word "ele-
vator" In the hearing Of a Port Arthur
Fort William nan Toronto prides
itself on its churches; Pittsburgh
spec1alizes on millionaires; Chicago
has its pork and Boston It's pork and
beans-as for us, we rise to fame on
the bins Of our elevators, and he who
says "one of the largest" about any
old two-million-bushel outfit in Mis-
souri, must withdraw the statement or
name the place and weapons.
If the Evening Post had said zone
Of the largest in Missouri" or in the
general but expressive American
phrase had said some elevator" we
wouldn't have minded 1t SO much, but
when it describes this stunted Mis-
souri, receptacle as zone Of the largest
grain elevators in the world" then it
Is time to kick. Why, two-million-
bushel elevators are SO common here
abouts that the secretary of the board
Of trade does not point them out to
distinguished visitors. Nothing could
show clearer than that what we think
of two-million-bushel elevators.
When we have pointed to the $780,
0%oo-bushel G. n. R. elevator and the
1890, o00-bushel c. P. R. elevator and
the 800 ,00O-bushel G. T. P. elevator;
then to the $780, O0O-bushel Dominion
Government elevator which is only
the first unit Of what is to be a 80
million-bushel plant, by that time the
air is 80 full Of millions that the
listener would be annoyed if we both.
cred him with mention of a mere two.
million-bushel affair. So we just lump
the balance together and describe the
grand total of 45-million-bushel capac.
ity already standing at the head OF
the lakes.
Upon the basis upon which Kansas
City got five inches Of space in the
Evening Post we claim a compliment
tary writeup Of at least three columns
and In the article we would state thai
In n respect we are like Kansas
City-when it is a question of big ele
vators we also are from Missouri.

Rhodes and Rain.

Among the stories in the duchess OF
Aosta's book is one relating to the
celebrated statue Of Cecil Rhodes
which stands in the main square OF
Bulawayo. The empire builder is fig
ured in contemplation Of his achieve
ment, with head barred.
The whole district had been griev-
ously plagued by drought for over a
twelvemonth, when the natives got up
a great agitation and marched In enor-
nous numbers to the square, and,
throng1ng around the statue Of Cecil
Rhodes, insisted that 1t should I'm
mediately be given a top hat.
They said that Heaven respects
this great creator Of empire too much
to send the needed rain while he
stands there bareheaded."

cup Of piping hot Postum for my morn

me / was drinking Postum for fear l
might not take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept CIV

I grew stronger, more tireless, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks and
q clearness to my eyes, then she told
me Of the health-giving, nerve
strengthening %ife-saver she had given
me In place of my morning coffee.
From that time I became a disciple
of Postum and no words can do Jus

drink did me. I will not try to tell 1t,

ful acts which shock the heart Of a real

the influence which they exert in the
half bear and half child, and they appeal
TO TO the child IN him: They are not above
fer to wheedle and mother man, rather
than assail him with invective and bricks.
Moderation is their motto.
The feminist movement in France has
three parties: Those who demand COM
plete civil and political equality with man:
those who acknowledge the strength Of
long established prejudice, and claim only
municipal rights; and those whose modest
demand extends only to complete equality
IN civil rights. In this last party are en-
rolled thousands of the rich and indie
pendent middle class.
