HOW TO TREAT PIMPLES AND
BLACKHEADS
For pimples and blackheads the fol-
lowing is a most effective and eco-
nomical treatment: Gently smear the
affected parts with Cutlcura Oint-
ment, on the end of the finger, but
do not rub. Wash off the Cutlcura
Olntmen^ In live minutes with Cuti-
cura Soap and hot water and continue
bathing for some minutes. This treat
ment Is best on rising and retiring.
At other times use Cutlcura Soap
freely for the toilet and bath, to as-
slat in preventing Inflammation, Irri-
tation and clogging of the pores, the
common cause of pimples, blackheadte,
redness and roughneito, yellow, oily,
mothy and other unwholesome condi-
tions of the skin.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample of each
free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address

Meeting Emergencies.
Senator Dixon was condemning a
piece of political deception.
"The thing was as flagrant,” he said, j
“as the railway case.
"Two men, one of them very short,
were passing through a station toward
the train gates when the bigger one ’
was heard to say:
" ‘I've got a half ticket fur ye, I
George. Yer so little, ye’ll pass, all '
right.’
“ ’But,’ protested George, 'how about |
my beard?’ And he twiddled his chin i
betird nervously.

Predictions as to the probable date

SAVED FROM

How Mrs. Reed of Peoria, 111.,
Escaped The Sur-

signed his position as supervising ar-
chitect of the treasury department at

For fifteen years he has supervised

Jessup, Pa.-“After the birth of my
fourth child, I had severe organic inflam-
matSan. I would have such terrible pains
that it did not seem as though I could

months, until two doctors decided that

I ama canal is fully appreciated in the
senate, where the fight over free tolls
■ for American ships threatens to hold
up the bill already passed by the
house. A plan has been broached in
the senate to pass a temporary meas-
ure giving President Taft executive
■ authority to operate the canal and to
j fix a temporary toll rate, leaving the
I permanent question to he settled at
[ the New York session if the differ-
| ences among members as to the pend-
! ing bill are not soon solved.
The house will he called upon to
vote on the report of its elections’
committee that Representative Theron
C. Catlin of Missouri be ousted be-
cause too much money was spent by
his relatives in his election. Demo-
crats of the house are expected to
support the committee report.
| This is the time of year when con-
j siderable anxiety is felt in all the
I northern agricultural districts as to
the probable outcome of the growing
crops. Central Canada, comprising
the Provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta, with their
16,000,000 acres of wheat, oats, bar-
| ley and flax, of which 6.000,000
acres may he said to he sown to
wheat alone, haa become a great fac-
tor in the grain markets of the world.
Besides this, government returns
show that every state in the Union
has representatives in these prov-
inces, and naturally the friends of
these representatives are anxious to
hear of their success. It has never
been said of that country that it is
absolutely faultless. There are, and
have been, districts that have experi-
enced the vagaries of the weather,
the same as in districts south of the
i boundary line between the two coun-
j tries, but these are only such as are
to be expected In any agricultural
country. The past has proven that
the agricultural possibilities of this
portion of Canada are probably more
attractive in every way than most
countries where grain raising Is the
chief industry. The present year
I promises to be even better than pa^t
years, and In a month or six weeks
j it Is felt there will be produced the
I evidence that warrants the enthusl-
i asm of the present. Then these great
| broad acres will have the ripened
] wheat, oats, barley and flax, and the
! farmer, who has been looking forward
j to making his last payment on his
big tarm will be satisfied. At the time
I of writing, all crops give the prom-
! ise of reaching the most sanguine ex-
! pectations.
In the central portion of Alberta,
I R is said that crop conditions are
! more favorable than in any previous
I year. Heavy rains recently visited
this part, and the whole of this grain
I growing Bection has been covered. Re- 1
j ports like the following come from
j all parts:
I "Splendid heavy rain yesterday.
I Crops forging ahead. Great prospects.
| All grains more than a week ahead
l of last year. Weather warm last
week. Good rains last night."
From southern Alberta the reports
; to hand Indicate sufficient rain. Crops
in excellent condition. Labor scarce.
Throughout Saskatchewan all grains
are looking well, and there has been
| sufficient rain to carry them through
o lift r vest.
From all portions of Manitoba
| there comes an assurance of an
| abundant yield of all grains. Through-
! out southern Manitoba, where rain
j was needed a few weeks ago. there
I has lately been abundant precipita-
i tion, and that portion of the province
I will in all probability have a crop to
| equal the best anticipations. A large
quantity of grain was sown on the
stubble in the newer west, which is
never a satisfactory method of farm-
ing, and may reduce the general av-
erage.
Taken altogether, the country is
now fully two weeks in advance of
last year, and in all grains the acre-
ages sown are much larger than in
1911. This means that with aus-
picious weather the west will have
the grandest harvest in its history.
Two hundred and fifty million bushels
of wheat has been mentioned as an
estimate of the present growing crop,
and it looks now as if that guess will
he none too large.
To Protect the Flowers.
Edelweiss and other characteristic
Swiss flowers are Bald to be In dan-

craze of tourists for collecting them.
Women tourists especially are always
anxious to take away souvenirs In

pull the flowers, but dig up the plant.
It is proposed to Introduce a law that
will prevent the buying, selling or dig-
ging of edelweiss, fire lily. Siberian

Of the many ways in which the mid-

of white voile edged with scalloping

other change may be the frock set of
white chiffon with border of black

of black net hemstitched with silver
thread. Some of these collars are so
long in front that they terminate only
at the waist line, where they cross in

IFFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of
all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly
one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or moro
than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen I
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma-
jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these
infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, hut you must see that it bears the signature oi
Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens tho
pores of the shin and allays fever.
Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher.
Dr. A. F. Peeler, of SL Louis, Mo., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria
!n many cases and have always found It an efficient and speedy remedy.*
Dr. Frederick D. Rogers, of Chicago, III., says j I have found Fletcher's.
Castoria Vo/y useful ia tho treatment of children’s complaints.
Dr. William C. Bloomer, of Cleveland, Ohio, suy3: In my practice I am
glad to recommend your Castoria, knowing it is perfectly harmless and
always satisfactory.
Dr. E. Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "I have prescribed your Cas-
toria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and
benefit to my patients.”
Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: “I have used your Cas-
toria in my own household with good results, and have advised several
patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm.”
„ - Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: “Having during the past six
iWtHHKTTfj™ years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most
"A™"liH-jttaB heartily commend its use. Tho formula contains nothing deleterious
to tho most delicate of children."
Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: "Your Castoria is an Ideal
medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it While I do not advo>
cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an
exception for conditions which arise in. the care of children."
Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds the
esteem of the medical profession in a manner held hy no other proprio
tary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and chil-
dren. In fact, it Is the universal household remedy for Infantile ailments.”
Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: “Castoria is ono of the very
finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my
opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can
furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to Its efficiency
and merits.”

William Shaw, the secretary of the
famous Christian Endeavor society,
said in a witty after-dinner address in
Boston:
"There is a little Back Bay girl who
is much interested in her auntie's
Christian Endeavor work. The little
girl was writing a letter to her broth-
er at Yale one day. and in the midst
of the epistle she looked up and said:
■"Auntie, how do you spell devil?’
‘"Devil!’ cried her aunt, with a
shocked smile. ‘Why, child, don’t you
know you mustn’t use such a word as
devil?’
” ‘But, auntie,’ protested the little
girl, T want to tell brother about
your Christian and devil meetings!’”
