Eczema Made Hands and Feet Swell,

Too—-Gave Up .11 Hope of Cure.
Quickly Cured by Cuticura.
"I suffered from eczema on my
haads, arms and feet for about twelve
years, my hands and feet would swell,
sweat and Itch, then would become
callous and get very dry, then peel
ofT and get raw. I tried most every
kind of salve and ointment without
success. I tried several doctors, but
at last gave up thinking there was a
cure for eczema. A friend of mine
Insisted on my trying the Cuticura
Remedies, but I did not give them a
trial until I got so bad that I had to
do something. I secured a set and by
the time they were used I could see a
vast improvement and my hands and
feet were healed up in no time. I have
had no trouble since. Charles T.

Her Rival
A Wife'*
Oommwit*
on a Con­
versation by Telephone.
When this man's wife reached his
afflce the other day on a little visit as
sociated with domestic finance he had
"lust been called up on the phone.
"Ha!" said the wife, she being a
jealous person. "Some creature 1b
catling him up!"
So she remained out of view In the
anteroom.
"Hello!" said the husband at the
phone. "Who's that you say? Oh, it's
you, eh, Jack? H'w'are you, pal? Any
thing coming off?"
("It's that horrid, dissipated, flirt.a
tious Jack Hotcltp talking to him," said
the wife to hertelf. "I always did sus
pect that man.")
"Huh? Say. is that so?" said her
husband through the transmitter.
"Mighty Vlad to hear that. Say, where
did you trap her, anyhow?"
("Her!" sniffed the -jealous wife.
"Qh, I knew there'd be some devilment
in the wind with that Hotclip man
calling him up.")
"Well, b'jing, I sure am glad you've
nailed her, matey," went on the hus
band at the phone. "Say, is she a sure
enough looker?"
("Well, just hear that!" said the
wife to herself. "Looker!")
"Honest-Injun thoroughbred, too, you
say?" continued her .husband at the
phone. "Well, me for her, then. I
sure want to look her over. What's
that? A raging beauty, is she? Well,
I guess that's poor. That's the kind
I'm hunting for."
("Oh, such hideous deceitfulness!"
panted the wife in the anteroom.)
"Y'know I'm pretty tired of having
these imitation mutts flashed on me,"
the man at the phone went oil. confi
dentially. "I want nothing but the real
bang up thing. I'm willing to cough
up anything within reason, too, to get
the real thing, as 'I told you,"
("The traitor!" hissed the man's
»-ife, trembling with rage.)
"Say, you got her there with you
now, old man? What's that? Oh, you
have, hey? Curled up in your lap right
now, eh? Good! But you want to re
member that she's as good as mine,
old boy."
("Curled up in his lap—horrible'"
gasped the jealous wife.)
"Look here," went on the unsuspect
ing husband at the phone, "can't you
fetch her down here right away and lot
me look her over? Let's see, it's pretty
near lunch time and I'm sort of expect
ing my wife down pretty soon, and of
course I don't want my wife to see her,
see? But you just trot her down here
now and I'll have a peek and then we
can fix it. What's that? You'll be over
in five minutes? All right old boy.
I'll be waiting."
Whereupon he hung up the receiver
and turned to be confronted by his
white-faced and wrathful spouse.
Naturally he looked surprised. Just
as naturally she took his surprised look
as a sure indication of guilt.
"So, sir," she opened up, "you are
going to have' that Jack Hotclip bring
some wretched, tawdry creature here,
are you?"
He hung his head. He looked like a
man nailed with the merchandise.
"Oh, I heard every single, solitary
word you said in the phonef so you
needn't deny it," his wife went on,
breathlessly. "How dare you carry on
in such a manner right here in your
office? Have you no pride or self-re
spect? What do you mean by profes
sing to 1-1-love m-m-me, and t-t-then—"
She was relapsing into angry tears,
and of course he tried to lake hold of
her to comfort her and square him
self.
"Don't you d-d-dare to t-t-touch
m-m-me!" she gurgled, shaking him off.
"I hate the v-v-very t-t-touch of your
h-h-hand, ypu scandalous, deceitful
thing!"
"But look a-here, my dear," he be
gan, "you're all dead wrong, you know.
Lemme set you right, for heaven's
sake—"
"Wrong!" she exclaimed angrily.
"D-d-didn't I hear your very words to
that horrid brute on the phone? Isn'l
he g-g-going to fetch some m-m-misera
ble baggage down here and—"
Just at that instant, however, John
Hotclip arrived at the office with the
miserable baggage. He was carrying
the miserable baggage in his arms, and
he deposited her in the guilty^ hus
band's arms, where she promptly cud
dled up and looked content.
"Here, my dear," said the husband
to his wife, "is the young female indi
vidual about whom I was talking wit'i
Jack on the phone. I've had Jack on
the lookout for a good one for a long
time and he has been kind enough to
get this crackajack for me. I wanted
her for a present—a surprise present—
for you, you-know."
He handed the dainty little Japanese
spaniel over to his wife, and it was her
tu.n to look guilty.
Foxhounds Dash Over Cliff.
A fine 50-mlnutes' run with the East
bourne foxhounds on Saturday had an
exciting termination and brough
about a serious loss to the pack. Ar
excellent start was made, a stout fox
being found in Mr. Gwynne's gorse
near Folkington. and the field follow
ed merrily after on to the downs.
Faster and faster went the fox and
the hounds after him, until the quarry
made straight for the cliff. The mas
ter saw the danger and used every
effort to turn the pack, but in vain,
and two couples and a half of the
leading hounds had gone clear over the
cliff and were killed before the re
mainder were stopped. The pace was
the fastest of any run for several sea
sons.—London Standard.

We have now quite a bunch of

worth $20 each. The average price
received for mutton sheep was $5.00

6 cents a pound. Wo have about 30
head of cattle on our ranch now,
and last winter they picked tlieir en
tire living from our pasture, running
to the straw stacks for shelter at night.
"The increase of land values has
been extraordinary. Our land four
years ago cost us a little less than
$6.00 an acre. We have sold one sec
tion for $15.00, but we would not sell
any more for less than $25.00 per acre,

miles of our ranch within the next 18
months. Southern Alberta of West

DIDN'T KNOW
Coffee Was the Cause.
Many dally habits, particularly of
aating and drinking, arc formed by fol
lowing our elders.
In this way ill health Is often fas
tened upon children. A Ga. lady says:
"I had been allowed to drink coffee
?ver since I could remember, but even
as a child I had a weak stomach,
which'frequently refused to retain
food.
"The taste of coffee was fa my
mouth all the time and was, as I found
out later, the cause of the stomach re
belling against food.
"I now see that it was only from fol
lowing the example of my elders that
I formed and continued the miserable
habit of drinking coffee. My digestion
remained poor, nerves unstrung, fre
quent headache, and yet I did not sus
pect tho true cause.
"Another trouble was a bad, muddy
complexion for which I spent time and
money for creams, massaging, etc.,
without any results.
"After I was married I was asked to
try Postum, and would you believe It,
t. an old coffee toper, took to Postum
from the very first. We made it right
—according to directions on the pkg.,
and it had a most delicate flavor, and I
at once quit coffee, with the happiest
results.
"I now have a perfectly clear, smooth
skin, fine digestion and haven't bad a
headache in over two years."
"There's a Reason."

"Mr. C. J. Broughton, Canadian Gov

tackle the proposition of buying four
sections of land in Southern Alberta,
thirty mile* east of Clalrsholm and

two boj-B each got a homestead ad

the two homesteads, and built a house,

of two years ago the winter wheat
killed out somewhat, and our crop
yielded only ten bushels to the acre,
but the spring wheat went 24 bushels
to the acre. In this country we must
bo prepared for storms and cold, at

never got well, when I read an advertismcnt of Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it.
"My husband got mo one bottle of the Compound, and it did

not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.

Sloan's Liniment is the best remedy for sprains
and bruises.
It quiets the pain at once, and can be applied to the

to be rubbed—all you have to do is to lay it on
lightly. It is a pc .verful preparation and penetrates
instantly—relieves any inflammation and congestion,
and reduces the swelling.
