In my work as a nurse, many skin disease rases came under my observation, and in every in stance. I always recommended tho Cuticura Remedies as they ajwaya gavo entire satisfaction. One case in particular was that of a lady friend of mine who, when a child, was af flicted with eczema which covered her face and hands entirely, breaking out at intervals with severer torture. Sho could not go to school as tho disfigure ment looked terrible. I told her to get et onco a set of Cutlcura Remedies. After tho use of only one set sho was perfectly well. "A grown lady friend was afflicted with salt rheum in ono of her thumbs, and sho was cured by the Cuticura Remedies. Still another lady had dry salt rheum In both palms of her hands every fall of tho year. They used to bo so painful sho could scarcely wet her hands until she began to use tho Cuticura Remedies which cured her. I have also seen them euro children of ringworm. Tho children's faces would be all clrcl93 and rings around the cheeks, and the neck ,and after treatment with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment they were completely cured. Sly husband had rheumatism on his arm and I used tho Cuticura Oint ment. It mado his arm as limber and nice, evhereas it was quite stiff before I began to apply tho Ointment "Last Slay I had an ingrowing toe nail which was very painful, as the side of tho nail was edging right down in tho side of my toe. I cut tho nail out of the cavity it made, and of course applied the Cuticura Oint ment to tho part affected. It soothed It and in less than ten nights it was all healed through constant use of the Ointment Ton days ago I had my left hand and wrist burned with boil ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has completely cured them. I have just recommended tho Cuticura Remedies to another friend, and she is pleased with the results and is recovering nicely.

One can exhaust all the color adjectives in the English language and yet hardly do justice to the hues and combination of hues of the plum age of the tropical birds which the expedition brought back from Africa. Dr. Edward A. Mearns. who is a surgeon of the United States array, but now on the retired list, did most of the collect ing of feathered big game and small game. Dr. Mearns is one of the world's foremost ornith ologists. While he was stationed with the troops in the far west he made a special study of the birds of the sections in which he happened to be. and on several occasions he was authorized by Uncle Sam to join scientific . expeditions or ganized to make investigations and collections in new territories. It is weir known that In a general way the more soberly clad birds are the best songsters. For instance, take tho hemit thrush and the mocking bird of America. They are both dressed in homespun, but they have voices of the kind which people call "fortunes in themselves." There are some sober clad birds In the tropics and there as elsewhere they are the better singers. In America we have a "bird called the shrike. 3LE 5 -BOX slp mammals of which hundreds and hundreds were brought to America to give the student an ade quate idea of the fauna of the Africau plains, mountains, valley and forests. It was Colonel Roosevelt's first glimpse of the African quarry since he saw it living in its na tive wilds. It was his desire to know how per fectly the sjweimens had been prepared and what deterioration, if any. the climatic conditions before shipment and after arrival had caused. Accompanying Mr. Roosevelt in his trip through the museum were Dr. C. Hart Merriam. now the head of the Harriman Zoological Foun dation and former chief of the United States Biological Survey; Mr. Edmund Heller, who ac companied Mr. Roosevelt to Africa and who pre pared most of the big game specimens for ship ment; Edgar A. Mearns. the ornithologist, who accompanied the expedition and collected most of the birds; Louis Agassiz Fuertes. the mam mal and bird painter; John Snure. and myself. We had the huge rooms in which the Roosevelt collections are stored all to ourselves. Colonel Roosevelt spoke freely about his trip and told many anecdotes in connection therewith which do not appear in his book and which he did not tell in his lecture before the National Geographic Society. It is hard to describe adequately the enthu siasm of the Oyster Bay hunter over the natural history treasures which his expedition had se cured for the National Museum and which, much to the Colonel's delight, had arrived in splendid condition, due largely to the hard, driving, pains taking work of Edmond Heller and J. Alden Lo ring and Dr. Mearns in preparing the specimens under the heat of an African sun and with only natives to help them in their delicate and diffi cult task. The first visit of the colonel was paid to the part of the museum where the elephant, the rhinoceros and the hippopotamus hides in their crude form are stowed away awaiting the day when thej- will be mounted and made to appear in natural form in the great exhibition hall. The colonel stopped before the skin of one gigantic elephant. The hide had been placed on a huge table which it covered completely while the "overflow" went to the floor and stretched out for come distance In every direction. "This," said Mr. Roosevelt, "Is an elephant which I had the hardest kind of work to shoot. I labored for hours under the blistering sun to get within cer tain killing range, for the specimen was a fine one and I wanted to be sure that 2 could add it JPICMEJiS FROM TfJT ROOSFVSJLT HIMfF to the museum's collection. Finally I got a shot and down went the monster. I turned with a shout of rejoicing to Heller, who was near me. Heller went over and examined the elephant and then turned to me with a grave face and said, 'Colonel this elephant died of apoplexy. You missed him a mile.' Heller keeps on telling that story and I am willing, for he gets lots of fun out of it. All I have to say, Is if the elephant dropped dead of apoplexy at the instant I fired It was the most considerate elephant that ever roamed Africa." In the African fields there are thirty or forty species of antelopes, one. the giant eland, is big ger than an ox. and it inhabits a fever stricken territory in which only a few hunters and those of the hardiest kind will venture. The colonel Is exceedingly proud of the giant elands which he secured and which are now in possession of the museum and in perfect condition for eventual mounting for show purposes. One of the antelopes which the expedition se cured has a remarkable hide. Colonel Roosevelt spent a long time examining and admiring this specimen. The skin is Iridescent and as you turn it at different angles to the light It sent "forth colors of blue, green, red and purple. It has a watered silk effect, but perhaps no watered silk that woman ever wore held such a marvel ous combination of hues. Dr. C. Hart Merriam. who Is now, as has been said, the head of the Harriman Zoological Foun dation, was the first man to suggest to Theodore Roosevelt that after he retired from the presi dency he ought to go to Africa to collect speci mens for the National Museum. Credit for the suggestion was given Dr. Merriam by Mr. Roose velt in his lecture before the National Geographic Society. It is probable that Dr. Merriam is the foremost authority in the United States on sev eral branches of natural science. He is particu larly interested In bears and it was by him that comparisons were made of -bear skulls by which recently a separation of species was made where It was not known definitely that a difference existed. It must have been fully a century ago that an English scientist hunter who had secured a speci men of the cane brake bear declared that it was a species distinct from the ordinary black bear of the eastern United States, the bear known to every dweller In the eastern region remote from the populous centers. There was a dispute among scientists about the matter and It never definitely was settled, the general opinion remaining that the cane brake bear was simply the ordinary black bear of the Alleghenles. the Adirondacks and the woods of Michigan, Wisconsin and Maine. When N Colonel Roosevelt killed his specimens of tho cane brake bear he examined them and came to the conclusion that the Englishman who had separated it as a species was right. The colonel to put the matter to the test sent the skulls of the bears he had killed to Dr. Merriam. who put In a lot of painstaking 6tudy comparing them with the skulls of the ordinary black bear and it was found the Englishman who had contended for separate species was right. If It had not been for the Roosevelt study and his determina tion to submit the matter to the test science probably would still be holding to the belief that the eastern United States have only one species of the bruin tribe. In the bear room of the museum Mr. Roose velt saw the skulls of the species which he was instrumental In giving a separate place to and he saw the skulls of every bear known to tho world. To the laymen present these skulls wero nothing hut skulls and originally they might have formed the head bones of any kind of an animal, but scientists can pick up a bone of any kind and not only tell what It came from, but from it can construct the entire nalmal. In the room set aside for the present as a storage place for the collection of African birds 1 O TEN MILLION PEOPLE IN THE CANADIAN WEST BY 1920 GAZFILF which is about the size of a red-winged black bird, the swamp blackbird known to- every coun try boy. The shrike preys on smaller birds, on mice and on big insects which it empales on thorns after making a meal, in tho case of birds n.i n(n nf tiirt Timint of tho ouarry. The shrike Is dressed in soft gray3 and while rather a handsome bird it is by no means of brilliant attire. The African shrikes which Dr. Mearn3. col lected and in which Theodore Roosevelt showed a marked interest on tho day in which he went through the museum, are perhaps among tho most brilliant colored birds of the world. They are not unlike the American scarlet tanagcr only the scarlet is of the kind that seems to burn the sight. Colonel Roosevelt has been having a lit tle controversy with Scientist Abbott H. Thayer over the question of tho protective coloration of birds and mammals. Mr Thayer, in a general way. thinks that most animals have a colora tion which protects them In a measure from discovery. It Is known that this is ierfectly true of some kinds of wild creatures, but Mr. Thayer thinks that even brilliantly plnmaged birds are protected. Colonel Roosevelt on the day of his visit to the museum held up one of the shrikes in its scarlet attire and said Ironically, "There's a fine example of protective coloration." Look ing at the bird. one might readily believe that against a background of green leaves It would be the first object in the landscape to attract attention. There are storks In the African collection. I think that three species were included in the captures. Now it must be understood that when the expedition went into Africa It was agreed that there should be no kill"-": beyond the actual needs of science except o:" -urse when it was necessary to kill game to supply the game table with food. The rule was that when a certain number of mammals or birds of each kind bad been killed the shooting must stop and the num ber fixed was very small, although of course 'this regulation did not apply to destructive animals like the beasts of prey, mice and other crop de stroying rodents. The rule which Mr. Roosevelt insisted upon and in which the others readily acquiesced was lived up to the letter. When Dr. Mearns had se cured a fixed number of storks he wanted to get one more becat c he thought there was some point which might be decided if he could add another stork to the collection. He told Colonel Roosevelt he was going to kill another stork. The colonel laughed and said, so it is reported: "Not on your life." Sir. Roosevelt's anti-race suicide pronouncement may account for his de votion to the interests of the stork. When we were ready to leave the museum Dr. C. Hart Merriam. who has made a careful study of the collection brought back from Africa, turn ed to Colonel Roosevelt and said: "There can be no possibility of mistake in saying that the expedition which you led was the means of giv ing to the National Museum the finest and most valuable collection of African animals which exists in the whole world. Science has profited immensely as the result of your labors." Toronto Star," Dee. 1th, 11(X The prediction Is made that before 1920 Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Al berta and British Columbia will have ten million people. It Is made not by a sanguine Western journal hut by that very sober business newspaper, the New York Commercial. It Is based upon actual observation, upon the wheat-growing capacity of the Ca nadian West, and upon the prospects of development following: the build ing of railways. The writer shows how the position of leading wheat market of the world passed from Milwaukee to Minneapolis and thence to Winnipeg. Canada's wheat-growing belt is four times greater than that of the United States, and only five per cent of Canada's western agri cultural area Is under cultivation. There are 170,000,000 acres of wheat lands which will make these Western Provinces richer, more populous, more dependable for food supplies than the Western States can ever become. The center of food supremacy will change to Canada, and 25' years more will give this country 40,000,000 popula tion west of Ontario. All these estimates of population are in the nature of guesses, and must not be read too literally. But the enormous area of wheat-growing land, tho rapid construction of railways, and the large volume of Immigration are facts which must be recognized. They point to the production of an ever-increasing surplus of wheat and other cereals. However rapidly the urban, the industrial and commercial population of Canada may increase, the increase of home consumption Is hardly likely to keep pace with that of the production of wheat; for a sin gle acre of wheat will provide for the average annual consumption of four people. While production In Canada Is thus running ahead of consumption at a prodigious rate, consumption In the United States la overtaking produc tion, and the surplus for export is growing smaller year by year. It la true that the limit of actual power to produce wheat Is as yet far away. By methods of Intensive cultivation, such as prevail in France, the produc tion could be greatly Increased. Bat with the overflowing granary of Can ada so close at hand. It seems likely that our neighbors will begin to im port from us, turning their own en ergies more largely to other forms of agriculture. It must be remembered that while tho Northern States resemble Canada In climate and products, the resem blance diminishes as yon go south ward. The wheat belt gives place to a corn belt, and this again to semi tropical regions producing cotton, to bacco, cane-sugar, oranges and other tropical fruits. The man who secures a farm In Western Canada at the present time secures an Investment better than the best of bond of any government or bank. It Is no unusual thing for a farmer In Western Canada to realize a profit of from $5 to $10 per acre. There are thousands of free home steads of 160 acres each still to be had, and particulars can be obtained by writing your nearest Canadian gov ernment agent. WEAK BACKS MADE STRONG.

The sugar beet is a main source of sugar and alcohol. The large forage beet supply an excellent food for cat tle and the red garden varieties pro vide savory table vegetables. The usefulness of this valuable food has cow been increased by the production of an edible flour from sugar beets. The desiccation of sliced sugar beets is practised In Germany on an exten sive scale, but the product is em ployed exclusively as fodder for cattle. In Belgium a meal Is made from dried beets. It is entirely free from the distinctive flavor of the beet and is suitable for cakes, puddings and pastry. As it contains about 65 per cent, of sugar it can often be substi tuted with advantage for sugar in somewhat larger quantities. The processes of desiccation and grinding not only cost less than the extraction of sugar, but preserve all the sugar of the beet, part of which is rejected in the form of molasses in the process of sugar making.
