ALMOST CRAZY WITH ECZEMA
“I, the undersigned, cannot give
enough praise to the Cuticura Rem
edies. 1 had been doctoring for at
least a year for eczema on my foot. I
had tried doctor after doctor all to
no avail. When a young girl I sprained
my ankle iliree different times, paying
little or no attention to it, when flve
years ago a small spot showed upon
my left ankle. I was worried and sent
for a doctor. He said It was eczema.
He drew a small bone from the ankle
about the size of a match and about
an Inch long. The small hole grew
to about the size of an apple, and the
eczema spread to tho knee. The doc
tors never could heal the hole In the
ankle. The whole foot ran wuter all
the time.
"My husband and my sons were up
night and day wheeling me from one
Toom to another In the hope of giving
me some relief. 1 would ait for hours
at a time In front of the fireplace
hoping for daybreak. The pain was
*o intense I was almost craav, in fact, j
1 would lose my reason for hours at I
a time. One day a friend of mine
dropped In to see me. No more had
ahe glancod at my foot than she ex
claimed: 'Mrs. Finnegan, why In the
world don't you try the Cutlcura Rem
edies!' Being dlsgusti J with the doc
tors and their medicines, and not be
Ing able to sleep at all. I decided to
give the Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura
Ointment a trial. After using them
three days that night I slept as sound i
as a silver dollar for eight long hours.
I awoke In the morning with but very
little pain. In fact, 1 thought I was
In heaven. After using the Cutlcura
Remedies for three months 1 was per

The first thermometers were made
with spirits of wine: but the tngenl
our Gabriel soon adopted mercury as

to this day. His Instruments speedily
became known throughout the world
and though a more rational tin hod of
graduation has since been adopted, the
popular mind still clings to the Fah

are returned to the tyaters alive. An
expert spawn tst.’er tn the employ
ment of the commission Is aboard
evtiy boat to strip the female of her
ej;:i and to Impregnate them with Ihe
milt of the male. The eggs are then
packed in shipping cases and sent to

dergo tho process of incubation. After
they are hatched the small fish are re
tained until well developed, when they
are shipped hack and planted In tbe
waters from which they are taken.

THE situation in Canadian pol
itics ,o which the reciproc
ity treaty gave rise has been
for some time engaging world
wide attention.
in a half century, almost unnoticed.
Canada has attained a startling
growth. It seems only a few years
ago that, amid dissension and rebel
lion. she was struggling for confeder
ation and responsible government.
The patriotic fight of the great Wil
liam Lyon Mackenzie Is almost Kur
rent history and a great many of
those who remember the British
North American act of 1867 —the act
which gave Canada a federal govern
ment—are still hale and hearty citi
zens f Britain’s richest colony.
The first premier of the great Do
minion Sir John A. Macdonald, is
scarcely a figure of the past. He was
active In the political life of hia coun
try until 20 years ago The sound of
his voice Is still fresh in tbe minds
of Canada's most prominent, present
day statesmen. The rapid rise of the
Dominion or Canada, from a few
scattered settlements to a country of
wealth and population, has been re
markable
While th two great peoples of the
American ontinent, those of the
United States and Canada, have
waxed strong under the influence of a
progressive policy which Is peculiar
to this hemisphere they have done so
along widely diverging lines The
governmental systems of both coun
tries. which at first glance may seem
alike and which are founded upon the
principle of popular representation,
are vastly different. The civic af
fairs ot the United States rest upon
three distinct divisions of govern
ment. the executive, the legislative
and the judicial, whi'e the Canadians,
profiting by the deficiencies as well
as the good points of th -- American
constitution, drafted a government of
narty responsibility In which the
three great divisions of their neigh
bor’s civic structure were welded In
to one The Canadian political meth
od Is the .newest development of con
stitutional government and its origin
and success form one of the most
lnfei esting chanters of recent history.
The keynote of the Canadian the
ory of government is party responsi
bility. All civic branches are respon
sible to the party In power and the
party In power la directly responsible
to the people While formally the
legislature consists of two bodies —
tbe house of rommons at J the sen
ate —the country is practically gov
erned by one assembly, the house of
commons, for the senate Is a negligi
ble quantity In the practical civic op
erations of Canada. The governor
general, who formally presides over
aft and who is the representative of
the king, theoretically j appoints tbe
premier, but. In reality, he always
choo.-es the man whom tbe nar'ia
mentary situation requires Nomin
ally he Is chief executive of the Do
minion. but in [Tactical government
the executive of the Canadian people I
Is always the premier.
The premier must be a member of
the hiuse and must bo elected to his
seat from a regular riding or constitu
ency In him are united the offices
of speßker of the house and major
Ity leader The members of tbe cab
inet must also be members of the
commons and they are elected to
parliament by the people of their
own riding The Canadian ministry
consists of the premier and his cab
Inet ar.d this comblnsi'on is popular
ly known as "the government.”
Wnen a Party Loses.
When the Canadian party In power
loses *tß majority In the house,
tbrr jgh a split in its ranks over some
pctitlcal question or through loss of
popular confidence at an election, the
opposition goes into power nnd Its
offirt',; leader immediately and auto
r-rfically becomes premier, the gov
ernor general always calling on him
to form anew government If the
Canadlar system prevailed in the
United States President Taft and the
members of his cabinet would hnve
to bp members of the house of rep
resentatives.
The Dominion of Canada is gov
erned always by the party in power
and the executive and legislative
jmwer* of his party are recognized
by the people For every act or pro
posal “the government” or party in
power is directly responsible to the
house of commons and to the Cana
dian people and if. In any of Its cots
or proposals it fails to meet with the
approval of tbe house, or the people,
it steps down from power and the
opposition tshes control as a party It
is tecause of thL< policy that tbe
liberal party went to tbe ptiople with
the reciprocity issue.
Constitution Almoit Perfect
in he bes.nning of Canada's po
litical life, just previous u> the war
of mi*, the country was governed
under tbe constitutional act by two
distinct councils —executive and ieg
v'.ative They were independent of
each other and through abuse of
•'rlvllgge begat, to think themselves
ndependent of tbe people The pi
•neer settlers, whose only thought
-as for the clearing anu taming of
ha *'’ lercess. cared Httle lor pa.-
AT OTTAWA—
Itics. Theirs was a fight against th*
primal and tbe wild and they thought
of the government only as a help tc
them In their mighty efforts.
Tbe men in whose hands rested
the responsibility of wield,ng civic
power abused their trust They gave
valuable lands to political friends and
spent money corruptly that was in
tended for the settlers who needed
aid. These abuses brought about dis
satisfaction and distrust and the pi
oneers began a fight for a better and
more competent form of government
a fight which ended year* later In
b'oodshed and rebellion but which
finally obtained for the Canadian peo
ple the almost perfect constitution of
which they boast today
For years the prejudice existing be
tween the French and English was an
obstacle tc the treat struggle against
privilege and injustice.
Canada in those days was divided
into two provinces, known as Upper
and Lower Canada, and while Mac
kenzie was fighting for justice in
Upper Canada. M Papineau was
struggling with the corrupt powers of
Lower Canada The latter was de
feated in bio peaceful fight and. fired
by all the passions that liberty in
spires. he resorted to rebellion Thus
by means of bloodshed he succeeded
in obtaining tbe suspension of tbe
constitution of Lower Canada The
rebellion spread to Upper Canada,
where Mackenzie took up tbe fight,
and although he was defeated and ex
iled tba principles for which he
fought won out in the end and the
act of Union or 1840 gave Canada
its first united and responsible gov
ernment. The provisions of the act
of union were by no means com
plete and factions and dissatisfactions
were the result until 1867 when the
North American act gave to the land
of the maple leaf a government un
der which it has grown and pros
pered.
Provisional Legislatures.
The provisional legislatures of the
Dominion of Canada correspond in
a great many ways with the state
governments of the United States.
In every way they resemble the Do
minion parliament, having, with the
exception of Ontario, a bouse of
commons and a senate. The lieu
tenant governor of the province
stands in tbe same relation to the
provisional legislature as the govern
or general of the Dominion to the Do
minion parliament The premier of
the province is supreme in the pro
vincial parliament, just as the pre
mier of the Dominion i3 ail over.
The power of the provinces regard
ing legislation is restricted, however,
to education, the regulation of the
liquor traffic, the railways, the estab
lishment of asylums, tbe mange
rnent of prisons, timber lands, mining
regulations and the regulating of mu
nicipal laws.
Many of Canada's most noted par
liamentarians came up from the legis
lative bodies of the provinces to the
house of commons in Ottawa. In the
main they are men wno work with
one Idea ever to the fore —the ex
pansion of their country’s wealth, the
development of their country’s re
sources and the betterment of the so
cial and economic conditions of their
countrymen.
Independent and supreme In Its
own Dominion the Canadian parlia
ment, always loyal to tbe British
crown, stands a separate and distinct
body. In no way subservient to the
imperial parliament of Eng'and. It
has the power of making Its own
treaties with foreign countries and
since the establishment of the Su
preme Court of Appeal. In 1875. the
Canadian parliament has been prac
tically .ndependent oi the British
Privy council. Legislative acts re
garding Canada are never passed by
the 'mperial parliament unless they
are stamped with the approval of the
house of commons at Ottawa. A
freer government than Canada’s nev
er existed and it is even the boast of
some Canadians that they enjoy more
freedom than the citizens of Eng
land. The Canadians are the most
loyal, happy and contented subjects
of the British crown and in times of
war they have proved themselves
strong supporters of the throne.
From the days of the northwest
rebellion to the recent clash over the
reciprocity treaty the Canadian ship
of state has weathered some rough

TOWN IS BEING REBUILT
Flood of Waters Has Not Taken Black
River Falls, Wis., From the Map.
More than a million dollars absolute
ly disappearing In the short time of
two hours was the toll collected by the
waters at Black River Falls, Wiscon
sin. Even the residents of tbe town
could not realize what It meant until
the lake formed by the Hatfield dam
was dry, and the rush of waters had
passed on to the Mississippi.
Just out of reach of the flood tbe
business tnen and residents of tbe
place watched the waters carry away
the bai'.dings that represented the
hemes of business enterprises which
R had taken years of effort to build.
Among the larger industries seemingly
wiped out within a few minutes was
the plant of Coles Carbolisalve. This
plant, along with others that suffered a
like fate. Is today being rebuilt, and
the business men of Black River Falls
promise that a better town shall re
place tbe one destroyed by the raging
floods, and that just as rapidly as men
and material can put It together. It Is
catastrophles like the breaking cf the
Hatfield dam that demonstrate the
American spirit
