DUELlNG DISCUSSED
IN GERMAN REICHSTAG.
Socialist Leader Inveighed Against
the Practice.

Socialist Leader Inveighed Against
the Practice.
Berlin, March 9.-Herr Bebel, the
Socialist leader, during the debate on
the military budget in the Reichstag
to-day, said the higher classes of So
ciety were in a state of permanent
conspiracy against the law and relig-
ion, so far as duelling was concerned.
All the military courts and the fixed
opinion of the military class, including
his majesty, regarded duelling as nee
essary in the army. Notwithstanding
the Reichstag's resolutions on the SUBJ
ject, and against the weight of pub
lie opinion.
Herr Bebel referred in detail to ,e-
cent instances of duelling. and conf
planned of the invariable pardoning of
duellists before their terms of impris-
onment had been completed.
Turning to the i'll treatment of Ger
man soldiers, he said it was common
for old sergeants to boast of their in
genuity in abusing young privates.
Most of the extreme cases, the speak
er added, were those of weak-mind-
ed young fellows, sometimes bordering
on idiocy, who ought not to be in the
service and who would not be there if
militarism did not bias the minds Cf
the medical officers.
Among the incidents referred to by
the Socialist leader was that of a pri-
waite who was compelled to open his
mouth while a sergeant spat into it
several times.
"One must wonder" said Herr Bebel.
that the man treated thus did not
have the moral courage to stab such a
beast to death"
War Minister Won Gossler, replying,
said that throughout the year 1902 no
duel had occurred between officers on
the active list. Duellists, he con-
tinued, We're pardoned only on the
recommendation of the highest court.
The sharp measures adopted in the
case of Lieut.. Hildebrandt, who killed
Lieut.. Blaskowitz in duel in Novem-
Der, 1901, and was sentenced to two
years Imprisonment, though he was
pardored by Emperor William after
serving seven months of his sentence,
left no doubt as to the attitude of the
Emperor. The speaker fully agreed
with Herr Bebel that officers who ill
treated private soldiers in the way de-
scrihed by the Socialist leader merit
the most severe punishment.

CUTICURA
OINTMENT
Purest of EmoIIients and
Greatest Of Skin Cures.
The Most Wonderful Curative
of All Time
For Torturing, Disfgurine
Humours.

Cuticura Ointment is beyond question
the most successful curative for tortur.
ing, disfiguring humours of the skin and
scalp, including loss of hair, ever COM
pounded, in proof of which a single
amounting with it, preceded by hot
bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed
in the severer cases by dose of Cuti-
cura Resolvent Pills, Is often sufficient
to afford immediate relief in the most
distressing forms of itching, burning
and scaly humours, permits rest and
sleep, and points to speedy cure when
all other remedies fail. 1t is especially
so in the treatment of infants and chill
dren, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing of infantile hu-
mours, and preserving, purifying and
Identifying the skin, scalp and hair.
Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the
same time, the charm of satisfying the
simple wants Of the toilet, in caring for
the skin, scalp, hair and hands from in
fancy to age, far more effectually,
agreeably and economically than the
most expensive of toilet emollients.
Its "Instant relief for skin-tortured
babies, - or :. Sanative, antiseptlc cleans
ing" or "One-night treatment of the
hands," or "Single treatment of the
hair" or" Use after athletics cycling,
golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any
sport, each In connection with the use
of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient evidence
of this.
Millions now rely on Cuticura Soap,
assisted By Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and beautifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp Of crusts,
scales and dandrnff, and the stopping
OF falling hair, for softenlng, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore
hands, for baby rashes, itchings and
ehahngs, A. well ~ for all purposes Of
the toilet, bath add nursery.

A re- liable remedy for these diseases should be kept at hand. The risk is too great for anyone to take.
