How a Little Boy Wac Saved.

Washington, ID. C.-"When our boy
was about 16 months old he broke out
with rash which was thought to be
measles. In few days he had SWELL
ing on the left side of his neck and
1T was decided to be humps. He was
given medical attendance for about
three weeks when the doctor said it
was scrofula and ordered a salve. He
wanted to lance the sore, but would
not let him, and continued giving him
medicine for about four months, when
the bunch broke in two places and be-
came running sore. Three doctors
said it was scrofula, and each or
dered a blood medicine. A neighbor
told me of case somewhat like our
baby's which was cured by Hoods
Sarsaparilla. l decided to give it to
my boy and in short while his health
improved and his neck healed so NICE
ly that stopped giving him the med
icine. The sore broke out again. how
ever, whereupon 1 again gave him
Hoods Sarsaparilla and its persistent
use has accomplished n complete
cure" MRS. NETTIE CHASE, AZ X St.,

HARD PREssEo CREW.

How thoroughly the advocates of
the subsidy outrage seem at the pres
ent time to have been routed is shown
by the fact that their mouthpiece, the
Philadelphia Inquirer, published at
the headquarters of the International
Navigation company. falls back upon
an argument go preposterous as this:
The question of aid to the merchant
marine has been before the country,
and the country has passed upon it
favorably. 1t was a part of the plat
form of the repu blican party. Having
been Endorsed by the popular vote, it
becomes the duty OF congress to adopt
the subsidy bill. The senate should
lose no time about it,
The reference to the matter in the
republican platform was in this para
graph, says the Chicago Journal:
"Our present dependence upon for
eign shipping. for nine-tenths (actual
figures 70 per CENT? of our foreign
carrying trade is great loss to the
industry of this country.
The national defense and naval effici-
ency of this country, moreover, sup
ply compelling reason for legislation
which will enable us TO recover our
former place among the trade carry
ing fleets of the world"
The man who can find in those sem
fences any hint of a purpose to COM
pei the taxpayers of the nation to pay
tribute of $4,000 year for so
years to the International Navigation
company and two or three other rich
corporations, must have a telemicro-
scopic eye. And the man who will
say that because Mckinley was re-
elected the 80 900. 900 year subsidy
graft was Endorsed by the popular
vote" must have either a shredded
brain or an indurated conscience.
The ship subsidy is only one of the
of sins, real and concealed.
for which the republican party is to
be made the sponsor now that the
election is over.
