! HE KENTUCKIAN \ WAS PLEASED HE SECURED A GOOD HALF-SEC- TION IN CENTRAL CANADA. It Is not only from Kentucky , but from thirty-five to forty different States that there comes the expression of satisfaction from these who have taken up lands in Central Canada as a free homestead or have purchased lands. Mr. B. K. Bell , of Frankfort , Kentucky - tuckywrites to a Cailidian Govern ment Official , and says : "I have Just returned * from Alberta , overjoyed with my trip. Your literature was very flattering , but no. half what I found It I bought a half section between Cal gary and Edmonton , ono rnilo from railroad , near a good town. This is the best country I ever saw or ever expect to see. I will go in the spring and get to work on my place. I think It Is the coming Country of the World. " Some of the papers describe the settling - * * tling of the Canadian West as "be- -ftta , . t coming a fever with a great many peo- Y plo. The lure of Its golden promises is creeping Into their hearts and many are they who are answering the call of that unsettled territory. " This pa per editorially cautions its readers to exorcise care and .thought before mov ing to a distant country. This would be a wise precaution , and is exactly what the Canadian officials ask. The success of the settler who has made Canada his home for years is the best evidence that can be offered. And of the large number of Americans who have made their homes In Can ada , very few have returned. All are satisfied.

Marjorie He will have less after a few years with me. RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS "I had eczema on my hands for ten years. I had three good doctors but none of them did any good. I then used ono box of Cutlcura Ointment and three bottles of Cutlcura Resolvent and was completely cured. My.hands were raw all over , insldo and out , and the eczema was spreading all over my body and limbs. Before I had used ono bottle , together with the Cuticura Ointment , my sores were nearly healed over , and by the time I had used the third bottle , I was entirely well. To any ono who has any skin or blood disease I would honestly ad vise them to fool with nothing else , but to get Cutlcura nnd got well. My hands have never given mo the least bit of trouble up to now. "My daughter's hands this summer became perfectly raw with eczema. She could get'nothing that would do them any good until she tried Cutl cura. Sbe used Cutlcura Resolvent nnd Cutlcura Ointment and In two weeks they were entirely cured. 1 have used Cuticura for other members of my family and It alv/ays proved suc cessful. Mrs. M. E. Falln , Speers Ferry , Va. , Oct 19 , 1909. " What the Doctor Did. Gustavo Ullyatt has a little daugh ter who hasn't been well recently. The other day a physician was called to the Ullyatt home to see her. He ex amined the child with the aid of a stethoscope. When her father came home that evening he asked what the doctor had said.
