MISCELLANEOUS.
EVkRY NIGHTiSCRATCHED
Until the skin was raw. Body covered
with scales like spots of mortar.
Cured by the Cuticura Remedies.

am going to tell you of the extraordinary
change your CUTICURA REMEDIES per-
formed on me About the 1st of april last
noticed some red pimples like coming out
all over my body, but thought nothing of 1t
until some time later on, when it began to
look like spots of mortar spotted on, and
which came off in layers, accompanied with
itching | would scratch every night until
was raw, then the next night the scales,
being formed meanwhile, were scratched
off again. In vain did consult all the doc
tors ia the country, but without aid. After
giving up all hopes of recovery, happened
to see an advertisement in the newspaper
about your CUTICURA REMEDIES, and pur-
chased them from my druggist, and OBJ
tanned almost immediate relief I began
gradually dropped off and disappeared
one by one, and have been fully cured l
had the disease thirteen months before be-
gan taking the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and in
four or five weeks was entirely cured Ny
disease was eczema and psoriasis. IrecOm-
mendeG the CUTICURA REMEDIES to all in
my vicinity, and l know of a great many
who have taken them. and thank me for the
knowledge of them, especially mothers who
have babes with scaly eruptions on their
heads and bodies. 1 cannot express in
words the thanks to you for what the CUT
CURA REMEDIES have been to me. My body
was covered with scales, and was an awful
spectacle to behold Now my skin is as nice
and clear as a baby's.

PROHIBITION CONVENTION.

The Prohibition Congressional Con-
vention of the Seventeenth district met
at CITY Hall in Bellaire at 10 A. N. on
FRIDAY. 18th inst. President W. \.
Williams was made Chairman of the
Convention, and l. G. Mcfarland Secre-
tary. The order OF business was called
and the various committees appointed
after the usual manner of conventions.
The committee on nominations report
ed for Congress the name of ". o.
Thomson, of Belmont, Ohio.
For delegates to Indianapolis. Joel
Wood, Martins Ferry. and y. ]. Hyatt,

accepting the nomination, and pledging g
himself to put forth all his energies for
/. the cause Of the Prohibition party. The
Committee on Resolutions reported a
declaration of principles reaffirning the
utte-anceS of the State and National
Prohibition party OF former years.
After the business part of the conyen-
tion was disposed of, NJ. V. B. Bennett,
OF Kansas, spoke for an hour, making it
exceedingly warm for Democratic and
Republican "judicious license" and high
tax advocates. he was frequently in
terrupted by round after round Of ap-
plause and laughter at the happy hits
he made against the old party treatment
of the liquor qucstion-and although
his castigations were administered with
severity, there was such 4 pleasant man
ner accompanying them that it seemed
impossible to take offanse without bo0r-
ishness.
The convention was composed of cit
liens OF the District who are entitled to
as much respect as the representatives Of
any other political party, and are heart
lily in earnest in the cause, and one can
not but admire the moral heroism of the
men.
Dr. ". O. Thomson, the nominee for
Congress, is pleasant, forcible speaker,

MEMORIAL DAY.

/ Ohio State Journal.
The near approach of Decoration day
and all its hallowed memories is shown
in the unusual preparations being made
all over the country for its proper OBJ
servance this year. In almost every
city, town and hamlet in the country
viii the event be duly celebrated and the
low mounds of the boys who died for
home and principle covered with flowers
and bedecked with the tears of those
who still cherish their memory. Prom
inent orators have been engaged for
months ahead, and the approaching Dec
Grafton day will be one great hoZaunas
of praise for the gallant deeds of those
who sleep, from ocean to ocean and from
the lakes to the gulf. With each sue
ceeding year the patriot dead are grow
ing more precious, and as the country
they laid down their lives to save grows
and expands under the 9gis of freedom
they contributed SO much to secure, the
extent OF their sacrifice is more appreci-
ated and more generally remembered.
Since the festival of flowers was last
ccmmem0rated thousands of the BOYS
who marched to the music Of the Union
have lain down in the windowless pal
ace of rest and wait for the last reveille
10 summon them before the Great Com
mander. So numerous have these graves
of the honOred dead become that the
sightless occupants can almost touch ell
bows, and with each succeeding year
many names are added to the roll of
honor that those who survive delight to
honor. They have pitched their tents
in Beulahland, and their comrades on
this side of the river that divides the
seen from the unseen can only say "Hail
and farewell, we shall meet again after
life's campaign" So let the people who
vet remain and enjoy the benign bless
ingS of reunited country still hold in
grateful remembrance the troopers who,
with their faces turned toward the South,
never came back, or who died of disease
after the banners of rebellion had been
furled. They were race of giants. Let
the flowers that tell of the wealth Of love
and affection still expanding in our
hodits Tor their sacrifices, be strewn
by kindly hands over the low hillocks
that dot the landscape everywhere; let
the mufied drums beat in union with
the universal sorrow; let the flags flying
at half-mast speak our grief that is too
sacred for word of mouth, and the sullen
firing of the cannon roll out the pseans
Of praise for what they accomplished.
Twenty-three years have passed since
AppomattOx. That many centuries will
not witness the death of the idea that
triumphed when Lee handed his sword
10 General Grant. The loyal line of blue
viii soon have faded away into the
grave, the trappings of war rusted and
useless, the historic days of '6l-'65 be
but a memory with no single survivor
to tell how fields were won, but the les
sons taught in the hard school of battle
will not perish. Like the principles that
triumphed- when the lance of the Con-
federacy was shattered and its shield
broken, they are immortal.

OUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN.


Steubenviile Herald.
The fact that Hon. J. D. Taylor has
been renominated for Congress from
the Seventeenth district of this State
practically without struggle in the
Convention is alone strong proof of
the fact that his political career has not
only been such as to merit the approval
of his constituents, but such as to give
him standing Of more than ordinary
merit. 1t is idle to suppose that the
fierce light which beats upon a man in
public life will not sooner or later eX-
pose his deficiencies as well as bring out
his strong points, and when after sever
al years of public service the latter are
seen to predominant to such an extent
as to merit the approval of ones c0nstit-
entS then it is safe 10 say that the char
acter of the man is such as to win
the commendation of the public. On
no'other grounds can an Endorsement
such as Col. TAYLOR has received be ac-
counted for 1t comes from all parts of
the district and from all classes of peo-
pie, even places where rival candidates
have possessed a deserved popularity.
With such fattering Endorsement and
a united party behind him Col. Taylor
enters the campaign under auspicious
circumstances.

THURsDAY. ~ q. lSss.

ESQ. CALDWELL makes sharp re-
ply to the structures made upon him in
the report of the Committee appointed
to examine the Commissioners doings.
That report was written by ex-Auditor
Codiand, who received some attention
in these colmmns last week. The words
used in the paragraph % which Esq
Caldwell replies were not happily chosen,
aad were Enthusiastically the words OF
a partisan endeavoring to use a semi
judicial position TO injure political oP-
ponent.
No fair man who knows Esq. Cald-
well viii question bis perfect integrity,
but the voucher complained of should
have shown upon its face Just what
service was rendered. Esq. Caldwell
knew he had earned every dollar claim
ed in the voucher, and so, no doubt
I'D Commissioner Berry; but such pa
pers become public property when fled
in the Auditors Office, subject to The
inspection of any citizen of the county
and should be so framed as to explain
themselves.
OF course there has been no con.
seious wrong doing nor gouging upon
the part of ESQ. Caldwell Even Billy
Coiiiand, if it were possible for him tc
be for one moment fair and reasonable
in the treatment OF political opponent,
would admit that. But Commissioners
who approve and Auditors who ISSUE
warrants upon them Should see that
vouchers are so expressed that they viii
explain themselves. These officers, OF
al other men, ought to realize the abso-
lutte necessity for this. If Mr. Cofland
had contented himself with an objection
to the voucher on that ground, no com
plant could have been found with him.
But in a sneering and insinuating way,
speaking Of matter of which he ad-
mits he knows nothing, he would have
the public believe Esq. Caldwell has
been gouging, which is very naturally
resented.
Our information is that the work on
that bridge is superior to any in the
county.

Laiies-why is it, that when your hus-

the best physician at once, care for them
day and night, wear yourself cut with
sleepless watching, and never begrudge
the heaviest doctors bill, if only the dear
ones are restored TO health: while day af-
ter day, week after week, you endure that
dull pain in your back - that terrible
'dragsing-down" sensation and do alb
solutely nothing to effect a cure? In a
few years you viii be a helpless invalid,
and soon your broken-hearted husband
and motherless children will follow you
tc the grave. Perhaps delicacy prevents
you consulting physcician- even
this is not necessary. Poor sufferer, tell
your husband how miSerably you feel

WHAT BAKING POWDER SHALL
WE USE?

This plain question comes home to ev-
cry hOUSekeeper. We all desire pure and
wholesome food and this cannot be had
with the use of impure or poisonous bak-
ing powder. There can be 10 longer a
question that all the cheaper, lower grade
CT baking powders contain either alum,
lime or phosphate acid. As 10th as we
may be to admit so much against what
may have been some of our household
gods, there can be 10 gain saying the
unanimous testimony of the official chem
isis. Indeed, analysts seem to find no
baking powder entirely free from some
one Of these Objectionable Ingredients eX-
cept the Royal. and that they report as
chemically pure. We find some of the
baking powders advertised as pure, to
contain, under the tests Of Profs. Chand-
Ter IIabirshaW and others. nearly twelve
per cent. OF lime, while others are made
from alum with no cream OF tartar. This
we presume accounts for their lack of
ieayeniHg power as sometimes complain
ed of by the cook, and for the bitter taste
found in the biscuits SO frequently com
planned of by ourselves.
But aside from the inferiOrity of the
work done by these powders, the physiOl-
OgistS assure MS that lime and alum taken
into the system in such quantities as this
are injurious. They are not decOmposed
by heat nor dissolved in mixing or bak-
ing. They go with the bread, therefore,
into the stomach, where their physiolo-
gical effects are indigestion, dyspepsia,
or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why Go
these cheap baking powder makers use
these things? Alum is three cents per
pound, lime still cheaper, while cream of
tartar costs thirty-fiye or forty. The
reasons for the chemical purity of the
Royal Baking Powder were recently Civ
en- in the New York Times in an inter
eSting description of new method for
refining argols, or crude cream of tartar.
1t seems that it is only under this process
that cream Of tartar can be freed from
the lime natural to it and rendered chem
ically pure; that the patents and plant
for this cost the Royal Baking Powder
Company about half million dollars,
and that they maintain exclusive control
of the rights.
Prof McMurtTie, late chief chemist of
the Department of Agriculture at Wash
ingt0n, d. C., in the interest CT commerce,
made an examination cf this process, and
report upon the results attained III the
refined cream cf tartar The following
extract from his report would seem to
answer the question repeated at the head
of this article, and which is so frequently
prOpOunded by the h0usekeeper:
Il have examined the cream of tartar
used by the Royal Baking Powder Com
pany in their manufacture of their bak-
ing powder, and find it to be perfectly
pure and free from lime in any form.
Tie chemical tests to which / have sub
mitted the Royal Baking Powder prove
it perfectly healthful, and free from every
deleteriOus substance"
