f'I was amiofcd with psoriasis for

thirty-iive y.cars. It was in patches all over my body. I used three cakes

W' bathed .with the

T., Soap, applied the

~ ti Resolvent as di-

rected. In thirt

days I was completely cured, andi think permanently, as it was about live years ago.

“The psoriasis iirst made its appear-

ance in red spots, generally forming a circlc, lcavingin the center nspot about the sizc oi' n silver dollar of sound flesh. .ln. a short time the aiicctcd circle would form a' heavy dry scale of n white silvery appearance' and would gradually drog oil.

CHANDLER

Lounorv, March 25-Astonndlniz reve-

lations oi army waste muddle, and in- efiiciency following on the close of the wnrln Bouth Africa. by which hundreds of thousnndla of pounds have been lost to the nation, are made in the rcport of the cuuiptrollar and auditor- Rensral on the army appropriation' ac- count for1004 5. `

At the outset the comptroller states

that similar cases to those mentioned in his last annual report have been noticed, in which surplus supplies sold by them to other contractors have been repurchased from the latter by the nrtny at considerably enhanced prices. These casa: are to be brought_under the notice of the royal commission now inquiring into the system of sales and rapur‘chaacs,und therefore he does not consider it desirable to give details of the cases. , The revelations, however, are snfil-

ciently remarkable without these de- tails, and a few of the cases are given -below. _

Duty-paid supplies, purchased from

the army in the Transvmal by Messrs \feyer, limited, were resold to the army in the Oranira River Colony, also luty paid in that colony. A check for $1-i.il05 was paid Messrs. Meyer by the dlrecinr of customs of the Orange ltivcr Colony in January, 1004, as cus- toms rebate. 'l'his check, it is stated, should have been paid to army funds, Messrs. Mcyrrbciug only entitled to n rc'i|ta from lilo Trunsviinl on exporta- tion. Action is being taken to rccoicr the nm-iunt duo to the army.

Acontractorfor bread suppllcs in the )range River Colony reosivtd customs 'ehrites on the imported ilour used Lo the amount of $4,070, which should have gona ti the army. In another instance the con- tractor was allowed to import duty free Iiour which was sold to tho army at duty- rald prices, theloss to the arniy in this case was $0,013.

Adoubla payment' oi' $4.600 has ap-

pirently been made to J. Noreen for cattle captured by him when employed in thc intelligence department in South Africa. Efforts to recover this sum havo proved unsuccessful , and the treasury, refusing tosinotion the extra expenditure, have oft thc rcsporisibillly for the transaction to the army council.

As many as 08.953 bottles of port winr,

stated to beofdefeotive quality were <olld 1\i.$3adozen, instead of at the sontraot sale price of $3. This transaction is one of the most remarkable recorded.

It appears that certain contractors

,inrohased the whole of the port at Pretoria and Maitland, for 25s.a doaen. l‘hen they produced expert opinion as to Iefcotlve quality of unlabelled bottles, ind- on September 3, 1008, oifercd the lower rate of$3a dozen for such wine. i‘heir offer wus not then accepted, and

they were instructed to return the win to Prslteria. , On September' li), the general oliicer conirnandlbgln South Africa cabled to the warofllce for authority to sell l,200 eases of so-called port wlnc of ii vcry low gradeiforwhich he had an offer of $3 a doses' in Johannesburg, and stared that he was having the wine analysed, and lnquiriesmade as to`its source of supply.

The wot' oillce cabled approval, and

on the following dny the contractors were inforrued’thnt their offbr of September Siwas accepted, although the report of the analyst had not then been received: This report, dated October 7. stated thai the wins was genuine port and ilt for hospital use.

It hnssinoe been ascertained that wine

had been sent out from Woolwich, where li. had been passed by approved trade experts, and it is stated to have been superior to that used in civil hospitals in London.

Thus, though the wn.r ofllos had only

given permission for 1,200 cases, or 12,000 bottles to he sold at the lower price, the whole 8,053 bottles were actually sold ru that price. The war oiiicc, moreover, were not aware that the oifer nf $3n dozen cntne` from the contractors who had nlreariy agreed to pay $5 for thc identical wine.

A farm at Tempe. in the Oriinqc Iiivcr

Colony, was purciinseri for liii,555 in 1003, as it remount depot, and was described as being abundhntiy supplied with good water and its having good grazing. On November 1, 1004, the general oilicer com- rnnndingin South Africa was compelled owing to the' scarcity of water at the fnrui, the poorness oi’ the izrszlug, and the prevulanf-a of disease, lo take on lease for three years 7,01) acres of land al. i3iahop's Glen Furin, Tiloemfontein, nt u rental value of $5,/|00 .. ycnr. The treasury have refused to sanction inc lease, and the generniofllcar commanding has been called on for a full explanation.

Under the heading of- sales that realised

less than thee ‘cunt of special customs levied some extraordinary transactions are revealed.

For instance 810,748 was paid in duty

on tobacco which was sold for $3 613. The loss to the army was therefore $7,205. In'Lhe report of the comptroller on the

store accounts oi' the army ir, is announced that all the emergency rations at stations at home and abroad have been condemned and are to ba destroyed. The total number is 300,000 at home, and about 50,000 at stations abroad, the original cost being about $115,000. They have been in store more than three years.

Robberles of boots rind shoes on a

lane scale have been discovered to have been going on in the boot section of thc Royal army clothing department at Pimlico, and the matter is engaging the attention of the police. -

.neglect in failiniz to demand barrclandbox shipments is at least as retrograde as the farmers' failure to find better sorts. The actual diilerence in selling value` between the abused, oblectionebls samples and well handled fashonnbla sorts is strong against us. \Ve lose olicn ten to fifteen

icenis a bushel, while our humiliating

position ns n producer of low priced rub- bish is in marked contrast with the proud character of our produce in forincr times when P. E. Island was famed as n paradise for potatoes.

Here we may accord full ngroemeni

with your correspondent of last waelr, Mr. McKay, whose remarks are just and should be remembered. But as wo are likely to get but little useful information or help from the foreign stall' of the Department of Agriculture, I venture to offeryourfarniar readers the names of reliable growers of approved sorts.

Last fall The Guardian informed its

readers of n remarkable yield of potatoes grownhy John Newson on his farm. They were called Green Mountain, white ,ln nolorand are a favorite in American and Ontario cities. As the quantities available here are not apparently suiilc- ient, I can recommend I-loplrin Bros, Furl

"Falriiclri,Aronstoolr, Maine, as a good

firm to correspond with. They nrc the lirizcst potato growers in that distrlci. Or as it is desirable to save the duty, u near neighbor of theirs in N. B.. Donald lnnis, Tobique River, New Brunswick, President ol the Farmers' and Dalrymen‘s Association, N. B. islikely to correspond satisfactorily.

New with our growers in possession of

approved market sorts, and modern Implements such ns planters, cultivnlors and most essential sprayers, hy which four rows ara covered at once with Bord- eaux mixture and Paris Green, together wilhlstest hnrvestcrs, potatoes can be grown profitably at lowest likely priie, which followed by our merchants getting out of their “stick-in-the-mu¢.l“ old- fashioned way, we must soon get rid uf our humiliatingfreputation of furnishing the meanest potatoes in America and agnin find our country hold the character of a potato paradise.
