ee -- ECZEMA MUST YIELD TO THE WONDEsULLy SOOTHING HEALING INFLUENCE OF DR. CHASE'S OINTMENT There is one thing you can depend on Dr. Chase's Ointment to do every time, and that is to cure eczema. There is no more severe test to which an ointment can be put, and because Dr. Chase's Ointment triumphed over eczema it has become the standard , Ointment." When another ointment is praised it is said to be as good as Dr. Chase's. And this illustrates the high position held by this preparation. Mrs. Oscar Vancott, St. Antoine, Sask. writes: "I have found Dr. Chase's Ointment to be a permanent cure for eczema and other skin dis eases, One son while pursing broke out with running, watery sores all over his head and around the ears. Many salves were prescribed to no ef fect. The child's head became a mass of scabs and he suffered agony untold. He became weak and os would not eat and we thought we would lose him. "Providentially we heard of Dr, Chase's Ointment and it soon thor- oughly cured him. He is deven years old now and strong and well. An old- er boy was also cured of eczema by this Ointment, and we hope more peo- ple will learn about it so that their poor little ones may be saved from suffering." Do not be watisfied with the experi- ence of others, but put Dr. Chase's Ointment to the test when occasion arises. Try it for chafing aod irrita- tion of the «kin, for chapped and cracked hands, for chilblains and frost bites, for sores and burns. It is de- lightfully soothing and healing. 60c. a box, all dealers; or Fdmanson, Bates & Co., Toronto, Write for free "copy of Dr. Chase's Recipes. §| slairsteps, approaches as obstruct j corridors to the court room.

Fire losses in 1909 were exceptionally mo- derate, the total amoudting to only $86,315, against a gross premium in- come of $325,703, which, with interest earnings and pavmenis on 'eapital stock, makes a total gross income of $302,493.

Over $63.000 has been placed to the reserve fund and the total security to the policy- holders now stands at $458 412.98. The directors fed that the very satisfactory showing of the year's work-~with an income balance of 8127,- 234, of which half is due to surplus on underwriting account--the public will | readily recognize the possibilities of | future business and demonstrate a de- | sire to invest in the new company, for which the board obtained a special bilf from the Dominion government last May. The transfer of the old to the new company has not vet been made as the response of the holders and the sale of stock have not justified it, but the present report is expected to stimulate the required interest and enable the board to bring about the change in the near future, 3 i i | 1 WHIG'S FASHION HINT. { f COPYRIGHT, NEW YORK HERALD LOM with silk | Black velvet costume braiding.

The Boston News Bureau has been making a little investigation of its own into retail prices and wages in its own city at three dates a decade apart. Its condusion is that there was no material change in retail ary, 1900, but from that date to Janu- ary, 1910, there was an advance of twenty-five per cent, Wages, it* con cludes, are thirty-three per cent. highe er than they were twenty years ago and twenty-four per cent. higher than ten years ago. According to computation the ten years preceding 1900 were years of rising wages and stationary prices; the ten years since that date have been a period of rising wages and prices, the amount of in- crease in the two items being practi cally the same. In the past ten years there have been singularly great in- equalities in prices, while an increase of prices due to a common cause, such as the increased supplies of gold, should be approximately uniform. The increase in hog products was eighty- {threb per cent.; beef, thirty-four per cent., and fish, twenty-eight per cent. Vegetables and dairy products are but little higher than ten years ago, but considerably higher than twenty years De- | developed de ago, and groceries have advanced twelve per cent. in a decade and de |creased six per cent. in twenly years.
