CRUST COVERED BOY'S HEAD
Bolton, Qa.—"My little boy's head
•was covered with a hard thick crust
which cracked with the least pressure
causing a discharge of bloody corrupt
tion which was so offensive that 1
could hardly hold him. He was very
cross. Some called It milk orust
another running tetter and another e
tenia. t ..
"After trying several patent medi-
cines I decided to try Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. After using the sample
J purchased some Cuticura Soap and a
box of Cuticura Ointment. After us-
lng Cuticura Soap and Ointment three
days I was able to remove all the
crust and in one week he was entirely
cured. Cuticura Soap and Ointment
also cured my baby of an ulcerated
sore behind her ear and now we think
we cannot keep house without them."

Uric Acid Is Slow Poison
Excess uric acid left in the blood by
weak kidneys, causes more diseases
than any other poison.
Among its efiects are backache, head-
ache, dizziness, irritability, nervousness,
drowsiness, "blues," rheumatic attacks
and urinary disorders. Later efiects
are dropsy, gravel or heart disease.
If you would avoid uric acid troubles,
keep your kidneys healthy. To stimu-
late and strengthen weak kidneys, use

BLOOD CLOT ON HEART ENDS
EVENTFUL CRAEER OF
GEORGIA STATESMAN
SPENT 19 YEARS IN CONGRESS
Leader In Upper House; Chairman

—Honored With a Public
Funeral.
Washington. — Augustus Octavlus
Bacon, United States senator, from
Georgia for nearly nineteen years and
chairman of the foreign relations com-
mittee since the ascendency of the
democratic party March 4, 1913, died
in a hospital here after an illness of
ten days. He was the first United
States senator elected by direct vote
of the people under the seventeenth
constitutional amendment. Senator
Bacon had been seriously ill with kid-
ney trouble and complications devel-
oping from a broken rib. The imme-
diate cause of the senator's death was
diagnosed as a blood clot in the heart.
Arrangements were made for a pub-
lic funeral" in the senate chamber, to
be attended by the senate and the
house of representatives, the presi-
dent of the United States and his cab-
inet, justices of the supreme court,
members of the diplomatic corps, the
admiral of the navy and chief of staff
of the army. The body will be taken
to Macon for burial.
World's Work Not Completed.
Senator Bacon's demise comes at a
time when general arbitration treaties
with foreign nations are to be taken

Great Britain and Japan being of
principal concern to the administra-
tion. Only a few weeks ago Senator
Bacon and his colleagues on the com-
mittee conferred with the president
and it was agreed that these treaties
should be pressed in the senate for
confirmation. Just before he was taken
sick Senator Bacon reported eight of
these treaties to the senate with the
recommendation that they be ratified.
The successor to Senator Bacon as
chairman of the foreign relations com-
mittee probably will be senator Wil-
liam Stone of Missouri, ranking dem-
ocrat of the committee, who now is
confined to his home by illness. In
his absence Senator Shively of Indi-
ana. next in rank, is serving as act-
ing chairman of the committee.
As to succession in the senate Gov-
ernor John M. Slayton of Georgia will
name a temporary successor pending
the election of a senator at the reg- "
ular 6tate elections next October
NEIE't THE END OF CASTILLO
Man Who Cauaed Cumbre Horror In
Hande of U. S. Soldiera.
PILES
El Paso.—Maximo Castillo, the Mex-
ican bandit, charged with responsi-
bility for the Cumbre tunnel disaster,
in which ten Americans and forty-one
others lost their lives, was captured
thirty-eight miles south of Nachita.
N. M.. by American troops. With the
bandit were six of hia followers who
surrendered without a fight. They
will be brought here for safe keep-
ing.
Whether the prisoner shall be sur- j
rendered to the rebels is a lepal ques- I
tion which remains to be settled If
this is done there is no doubt that he
will be executed for the Cumbre dis-
aster lie is not charged with any I
crime on this side
Castillo set fire to a freight train I

senger train crashed into it and every

When Glencarnock I., the Aberdeen-
Angus steer, owned by Mr. McGregor
of Brandon, Manitoba, carried off the
sweepstakes at the Chicago Live Stock
Show in 1912, It was considered to be
a great victory for barley, oats and
grass versus corn. So that there
might be no doubt of the superiority
of barley feeding, Manitoba climate,
and judgment in selecting the animal,
Mr. McGregor placed in competition
in 1913, another Aberdeen-Angus, a
half-brother to the animal that won
last year, and secured a second vic-
tory in the second year. In other
classes he had excellent winnings, but
the big victory was the sweepstakes
for the best steer. This victory proved
that Manitobargrown barley and oats,
and prairie hay, had properties better
than any contained in corn, which in
the past has been looked upon as
being superior to other grains in fat-
tening and finishing qualities. Not
only this, but Glencarnock's victory
proves that the climate of the prairie
provinces of western Canada, in com-
bination with rich foods that are pos-
sessed by that country, tends to make
cattle raising a success at little cost
Other winnings at the live stock
show which placed western Canada in
the class of big victories were: Three
firsts, seven seconds, and five other
prizes In Clydesdales.
The winners, Bryce, Taber, Suther-
land, Sinton, Mutch, McLean, Hagger-
ty, Leckie and the University of Sas-
katchewan are like family names In
Saskatchewan. Each one had "the
goods'* that won honor to himself and
combined made a name and record for
Saskatchewan.
Look at the recent victories won by
western Canada within the past three
years.
In February, 1911, Hill & Sons of
Lloydmlnster, Saskatchewan, Bhowed
a peck of oats at the National Corn
Exposition, held at Columbus, Ohiq
and carried oft the Colorado silver
trophy, valued at $1,500.
In February, 1913, the same men,
father and son, had a similar victory
at Columbia, N. C., and should they
win in 1914 at Dallas, Texas, they
will own the trophy.
In 1911, Stager Wheeler of Rosthern
won $1,000 in gold at the New York
Land Show for the best 100 pounds of
wheat
In 1912 at the Dry Farming Con-
gress at Lethbridge, Alberta, Mr.
Holmes of Cardston won the $2,500
Rumley engine for best wheat in the
world.
In 1913, at the Dry Farming Con-
gress, held at Tulsa, Okla., Mr. P. Ger-
lack of Allen, Saskatchewan, carried
off the honors and a threshing ma-
chine for the best bushel of wheat
shown In competition with the world.
In 1913 at the International Dry
Farming Congress at Tulsa, Okla.,
Canada won the majority of the
world's honors in individual clasBeB,
and seven out of the sixteen sweep-
stakes, Including the grand prize for
the best bushel of hard wheat
The grand prize, a threshing ma-
chine, was wen by Paul Gerlack for
best bushel of hard wheat, which
weighed 71 pounds to the bushel, and
waB of the Marqule variety.
In the district In which the wheat
was grown that won this prize, there
were thousands of acres this year that
would have done as well. Mr. Gerlack
is to be congratulated, as well as the
province of Saskatchewan, and west-
ern Canada as a whole, for the great
success that has been achieved In
both grain and cattle.
Other prizes at the same place
were:
Best peck of barley, Nicholas Tet-
mlger, Claresholm, Alberta.
Best peck of oats. E. J. Lanigan, El-
fross. Saskatchewan.
Best bushel of flax, John Plews,
Carnduff. Saskatchewan.
Best sheaf of barley, A. H. Cross- ;

TLAHUALILO WILL BE HELD
NEUTRAL BY BOTH REBELS
AND FEDERALS.
VILLA ADOPTS MERCIFUL POLICY
Learning Proper Method of Treating
Prisoners From General Scott.—
Big Battle Will Soon
Be Fought.
Washington. — Establishment of a
neutral zone in which non-combatants,
of Torreon and vicinity may find
safety when Mexican federals and con-
stitutionalists, clash in the next great
battle of the Mexican revolution, was
assured when General Villa agreed to
the plan.
General Huerta already had assent-
ed with the stipulation that binding
assurances that the zone would be re-
spected be outlined from the consti-
tutionalists. This idea originated with
the state department as the result of
expressions of apprehension from for-
eign embassies and legations here for
the safety of their citizens.
General Hugh L. Scott at Fort Bliss
was charged to lay the matter before
General Villa and he broached the sub-
ject in a personal talk on the inter-
national border which was followed up
by a formal agreement.
Incidentally, it is understood Gen-
eral Scott has been successful in in-
ducing General Villa to adopt civilized
methods of warfare and in advising as
to the proper method of treating pris-
oners of war end non-combatants. The
rebel leader is said to have shown
himself^ amenable to suggestions.
Considering the location of Torreon
in a rough and hilly country, it has
been found that to obtain a location
of safety for non-combatants it will
be necessary to remove them some dis-
tance from the town. A location has
been found at Tlahualilo, about four
or five miles from Torreon and the
site has been approved by military ex-
perts. It is estimated that at least
twenty-four hours' time will be re-
quired to transfer the inhabitants to
this place, but from the leisurely man-
ner in which the campaign is develop-
ing it is thought there will be ample
notice of a general engagement.
At the instance of the British em-
bassy, the state department has inter-
ested itself in William Benton, the
English ranch owner and miner said
to have been imprisoned by General
Villa for making disrespectful remarks
about him. Instructions have been
telegraphed to American Consul Ed-
wards at Juarez to investigate the
case-and make proper representations
to General Villa to obtain the release
of Benton.
REPORT THE MQICILTORAL RILL
Increase of Nearly a pillion Over Last
Year's Appropriation.
Washington.—Chairman Lever of
the house committe on agriculture
completed and reported to the house
the annual agricultural appropriation.
It aggregates $18,947,000 exclusive of
permanent appropriations, an increase
of $960,000 over last year's total.
The bill is accompanied by the most
comprehensive report ever submitted
by the committee.
Many radical changes are proposed,
Including regulation of the weather
bureau and preparation by the secre-
tary of agriculture of a plan for the
reorganization and systematizing of
department work. The report sets
forth that the department is now "de-
veloped to a point where its present
system of bureau organization has be-
some cumbersome and is not as effi-
cient as it should be." The bill con-
templates that existing bureaus should
be rearranged to cover five or six main
lines of work, such as the research,
rural organization, state relations,
weather and forest services.
