Of great number Of layers Of cuticle,
or scarf skin, one above another, each
successive layer being larger than the
preceding, so that the whole assumes
the form Of a grain Of Indian corn
hence its name. This is constantly press
ing its point upon the tender flesh when
the shoe presses or rubs against it, and
as this cuticle is easily dissolved to a
great extent by the warm water and
soap we can see that bathing is the most
ready and harmless remedy as well as
preventive.

night with $4,000 Of my daily income
still unspent, and no available way OF
spending it. If did not get rid of it
by - o'clock I would lose my fortune,

don't know how I finally did it, for in

that the exercise of such a power
would occasion when, for instance, /
would visit the London correspondent

"Such cold season ]" "Such hot

"Such wet weather !" "Such high

CAMPAIGN CLIPPINGS.

Kansas City Times: 1t is admitted
by other foreign countries that Ameri-
ca can force the world to bimetallism.
Kansas City Journal: Mr.. Harri-
son will speak once more for the Re-
publican ticket and then retire. Mr..
Mckinley will continue to talk every
day, but will join Mr.. Harrison later.
Indianapolis Sentinel: Bismarck
agrees with Bryan upon the silver
question. The old man will be brand
ed now as an anarchist" climatic"
and "silver crank" by the goldbug
press of London and America.
Atlanta Constitution The New
York Commercial Advertiser pulls the
real issue from under the bed when it
declares that the eastern states have
right to dominate. the rest of the re-
public.
Denver Times: To be consistent,
Major Mckinley, if elected, should
honor Herr Most with cabinet posi-
ton. The major and Herr Most GER
tainly continue to agree on the finan-
cial question.
Kansas City Times: Canton, O.,
will be referred to by the future histo-
rian as having been in 1895 the mecca
of political deadheads; also as the
resort of political deadheads; likewise
as the residence of a political dead
duck.
Chattanooga News: McKinley's
dignity will not allow him to go among
the people and ask them to elect him
president it demands that the people
shall go to him and beg him to become
president. Will he be the servant of
the people or the people his servants
if he is elected?
St. Louis Republic: Prince Bis
marck's opinion that the United States
can without help sustain the policy Of
bimetallism is the opinion of a practi-
cal and able statesman of long and
wide experience. 1t should have great
weight, especially with the German
American voters.
The New York Journal Mr.. Bry-
an put the essence of the money ques-
ton in nutshell when he said at
Washington last Saturday: "The
gold standard is bad because the man
who has money can profit by the raise
in the value of that money without
using it in commerce or trade"
Nashville Sun: Mckinley is still
at Canton. Hired trains, with hired
excursions, headed by bired brass
bands, worked up by hired tools of
the monopolies, and introduced by
hired politicians to willing and wait
ing candidate characterizes the cam
paign. We will admit that they will
get everything that there is for sale,
but the presidency is not in the auc-
tion list.
Brooklyn Citizen: The money
power is in the nature of a taxing
power, when a comparatively few
persons are permitted to determine its
volume. These persons stand distin-
guished from the general laboring
as a despotic government,
which, according to the measure of its
strength, levies tribute upon all its
subjects.
New York Journal: According to
the Sun, rain did not drive indoors
any of the 20,000-or was it 200, ,0OO?--
persons who visited the Sage of Can
ton on Saturday, while at Baltimore
Mr.. Bryan's hearers were simply
stampeded by the showers. 1t is
pity that Major McKinley's followers
do not know enough to 20 in out of
the rain. They will be wiser after the
Sd of November.

its business, which is piling up at

1t will be seen that the longest time
