Itched and Burned
Awfully. Cuticura Heak

the sue of a fifty-cent piece, and
itched and burned awfully. The skin
was swollen and red.
"The trouble lasted about six
weeks. I began using Cuticura Soap
and Ointment and after using one
cake of Cuticura Soap and one box
of Cuticura Ointment he was com
pletely healed." (Signed) Mrs.

Uncle Samuel
By James J. Montague,
He doesn't go round with a chip on
his shoulder.
Hunting excuses to fight any more;
He's getting a llttlb bit wiser and
older:—
Fond of his comfort and weary of
war.*
He isn't as boastful, he Isn't so
breety,
N'or half so convinced he cannot
be wrong,
He's Kot in the habit of taking things
easy,—
For old Uncle Samuel Is getting
along.
The pastime of setting the eagle to
screaming
Is almost forgotten; He takes
more delight
In sitting around in the twilight and
dreaming.
Somehow assured that the world
is all right.
He isn't so quickly aroused to resent
ment
Nor nearly so eager to roach for
his gun,
The thing that he hankers for most,
is contentment
And time to reflect on the things
he has done.
He knows he has wealth and an en
vied position
Enough for an old man to ask for
forsooth.
less ambition
That stirred in his breast In the
days of his youth?
What need as he uiuses with self sat
isfaction.
On the place he has filled upon
history's page
For the boyish craving for turmoil
and action?
Far better the leisure of restful
old age.
He is getting along, for he dwells on
the glory.
He fought for and w'on in tbe
brave days of eld.
He lives upon dreams going back
through the story
That, somehow, he fauciea is ready
told.
And yet. if the war clouds should
gather about him,
If ever Ills country by foes be be
set.
He'll rouse from his dreaming,—itH!
old man. God love him:
Will suddenly find there is flght
in him yet.

ALASKA WILL OUTDO
CALIFORNIA IN OIL
In an article published In a recent
Issue of the San Francisco Examiner,
Miss Estelle Lawton.a special writer,
has the following to say Id regard to
Alaska:
Will Alaska outdo California as an
oil center?
Albert E. Fraser, for 17 years a
resident of Alaska, ar.d just now u
visitor in Lob Angeles, predicts that
she will. Fraser Is In (he freight de
partment of the government railroad,
and he has through his work an un
usual opportunity to know of the re
sources of the great territory.
His enthusiasm has the vigor of
the far north. When speaking of Al
aska he is almost scornful of our
boasted climate, and If by chance
you happen to mentlon-the extreme
cold of Alaska Mr. Fraser Just snortp
and advises you to inform yourself
on the facts of physical geography
"Don't you know that every harbor
in Alaska from Ketchikan to Dutch
Harbor is open all year?" lie demand
ed. "Our climate Is no severer than
that of Boston or any New England
state. True, our summers are short
but they are glorious, with fruits and
ilowers. every kind of vegetable that
anyone could desire.
"The recent completion of the gov
ernment railroad has opened a marv
elous scenic route und the service Is
excellent.
During the gold rush everybody was
talking about Alaska: now all the
world remembers Is that we used to
be on the map.
"If people but knew It we are the
great natural sanitarium of the west
ern continent. You see no pale people
in Alaska, no anemic ones. Weak
lings who come to our country get
strong. Even the mosquitoes are
harmless, though carnivorous. There
are no germs to poison their backs
We are on the way to oil developmen
that will furnish potential death to
every mosquito on the continent.
Several big companies are now drill
ing inside the Arctic circle and the
Indications are excellent. I'll bet that
within the next few years we shall
witness an oil rush to Alaska that
will exceed in interest and excite
ment the gold rush of the '90'a.
"The government makes it possible
for anyone honestly wishing to begin
development to drill on 2500 acres
of land. Now between Cook Inlet and
Bristol Bay the ground Is staked for
miles. True, the ground is always
j frozen a few feet below the Burface,
[ out that helps rather than hinders
[ oil drilling.
I "And when It comes to natural
| wonders, where can you find the like
of the "Valley of the Ten Thousand
Smokes?" That is believed by most
people to be inaccessible.
"It Is not. Any bong who cared to
take his owu food and bedding may
reach the valley In a three-day trip
from the end of the boat line. It con
tains the largest active volcano In the
world and colors that make the
l Grand canyon look pule and uninter
esting. As a potential tourist cam
ping ground Alaska can't be beat.
All we need is adequate hotels, and
there you have an opening for some
enterprising capitalist.
"A prophet may be without honor
in his own country, but a country
seems to be without honor among
Its own sons. I've seen California and
I've seen Alaska, and I toll you that
Alaska has more opportunities, more
beauty and a better climate than
your boasted California. That's why
I live there. I love It."
P. H. ADDS TO FLEET
The "Empress of Australia", now
on her maiden trip from Grennock,
Scotland, to Vancouver, hag passed
through the Panama Canal, accord
ing to cable advice* received by the
Canadian Pacific.
Details of this new Empress show
that she will be a notable addition
to the Canadian Pacific fleet and that
she will be one of the finest and
most luxuriously equipped steam
ships In the world, similar in many
ways to the new "Empress of Can
ada". which is now on her first trip
between Vancouver and the Orient.
The "Empress of Australia" was
built In 1913, but. owing to the war.
was not completed until last year.
She Is adapted, like the "Empress of
Canada" and the "Empress of Scot
land" and "Empress of Britain", for
burning oil fuel. She Is a twin-screw
steel steamship of 21,500 tons.
Spacious and well-fitted accomo
dations are provided for about 400
first-class, 165 second-class, and
670 steerage, together with a crew
of about 520.
