WONDERFUL CURE
OF SORE HANDS
BY Cuticura After the
Most Awful Suffering
Ever Experienced.
EIGHT DOCTORS
And Many Remedies Failed
to do a Cents Worth
OF Good.

"About five years ago I was troubles
with sore hands, 50 sore that when
would put them in water the pain woul6
very nearly set me crazy, the skin would
peel off and the flesh would get hard
and break. There would be blood flow
ing from at least fifty places on each
hand. Words could never tell the suf-'
fering 1 endured for three years- n
tried everything that was told to uss
for fully three years, but could get no
relief. 1 tried at least eight dlffereua
doctors, but none of them seemed TO do
me any good, as my hands were as bad
when | got through doctoring as when
/ first began. | also tried many rene
dies, but none of them ever did me one
cents worth of good. l was discour-
aged and heart-sore. l would feel so
bad mornings when / got up, to think
/ had to go TO work and stand the pain
for ten hours, and often felt like Civ
lug up my position. Before / started
to work mornings | would have tn
wrap every finger up separately, 50
az to try and keep them soft and then
wear gloves over the rags to keep
the grease from getting on my work
At night / would have to wear gloves
In bed. In fact, I had TO wear gloves
all the time. But thanks to CuticurA
the greatest of all great skin cures
After doctoring for three years, and
spending much money, a soc. box OF
Cuticura Ointment ended all my suffer
ings. It's been two years since used
any and don't know what sore hands
are now, and never lost days work
while using CutIcura Ointment"

HOW A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ESCAPED
SPRING CATARRH BY USE OF PERU MA.
Nothing Robs One of Strength Like Spring Catarrh--
Spring Fever is Spring Catarrh

1tor of Erie county, New York, Hon.
John w. Neff, in a recent letter written
at Buffalo, New York, stated: 81 was
persuaded by a friend to try a bottle Of
your great nerve tonic, Peruna, and the
results were SO gratifying that I am
more than pleased to recommend it."
A Spring Tonic.
Almost every body needs tonic in the
spring. Something to brace the nerves,
invigorate the brain and cleanse the
blood. That Peruna will do this is be-
yond all question. Everyone who has

Cafarrh in Spring.
The spring is the best time to treat
catarrh. Nature renews herself every
spring. The system is rejuvenated by
spring weather. This renders medicines
more effective. A short course of Pc
runa, assisted by the balmy air of spring,
will cure old, stubborn cases of catarrh
that have resisted treatment for years.

THEY WILL HAVE THEIR SAY,
The Plain People and Their Cand id a tc
for President.

It is about time that the plain peop.
had their say; the farmers, mechanics,
railroad men, storc-kcepers, sailors.
tcamsters and general workers all along
the line of American industrial life
These men arc tired Of the ceascleS.
adultation given to the fortunate few
tired Of the neglect in which the for
tunatc many are left. The fortunate few
are the accumulators Of vast wealth and
corresponding houses. lands. and the ap
pearancc of ease. The fortunate many
are the workers who live in comfort. but
do not have race horses yachts or auto
mobiles to kill time, Yet these last nam
cd fortunate men want to be heard in
the councils Of the nation. They are de-
termincl to have Il President who re.
spccts and cares for the plain people
one who has declared aud who has lived
up to the declaration that "EACH MAN.
no MATTER WHAT HIS OCCUPA

ATIONS."
That is the kind of democracy which
is real--not a name merely. 1t is The
democracy Of the first citizen of the
United States, Il man born into the Re.
publican party, consistent Republican
all his life and one who puts to shame
the injustice and inhumanity of the
party which calls itself "Dcmocratic.' =
This man of common sense. justice and
Christian brotherhood is Theodore KooSe
Welt, our President now, and our Presi
dent to be until 1908.
The plain people will have a chance
to speak out loudly early next November
And they will give no uncertain sound

their man by such a ma ajority as will

MUNICIPAL CREDITS.

proved Under Republican Policies.
The same Republican policies which
have strengthened the credit of the Uni
ted States government and caused its
bonds to rise steadily in value have also
promoted the credit Of States, municipal
tiles, school districts. ETC., which can
now issue bonds to far greater advant-
age than eight years ago, thus resulting
in great saving to taxpayers. Owing to
the incredse in the general prosperity,
savings have steadily accumulated and
have become invested largely in bonds
issued by municipalities in furtherancc
of public Improvements.
Eight years ago. in Democratic times,
municipalities and. States found it even
more difficult than the general govern
ment to sell bonds except at great >sacrl-
flee, owing to the extreme depression in
the investment markets. Public inn
provemcnts, therefore, had To wait in
definitely since the money for t.,em could
not be obtained, except by excessive i'll
crease in taxation.
The change. howcveff. within the last

farmer can do the labor Of seventy
Cinnamon. As these conditions change,
in obedience to economic laws, the Chi
nese farmer becomes our competitor.
The land value will regulate the price
of the product, and no competitor, the
world over, can enter the market against
our western prairie. We can place our
foodstuffs in the Oriental market at
prices which will prove less than the
cost of producing them in Asia, and
right here comes the question:: With
this future before it, what are the pos
sjbilities of the arid West? An untold
treasure house, the products Of which
will, in one year, exceed in value, all the
gold coin since the world began.
Another great advantage for the farm
es is, that unlike the manufacturer who
must educate the Orient in the use Of
his products, there are no prejudices to
overcome in the case Of foodstuffs. The
Orientals know their value, and the
market is already made and waiting. 1t
is one that cannot be taken from us.
Our Personal Duty.
The twentieth century opens for the
United States with it's industrial ma
chnery adjusted to the production Of
wealth on scale Of unprecedented mag
rltude. In land, in labor. supplemented
by best inventive skill; in wealth-the
three great agents of production, this
country easily leads the world.
Ihe reclamation Of the arid West and
the extension of our Oriental trade are
patriotic questions in which our ma
t1onal honor, pride and profit are at
stake. WhOsoevcr commands the sea
commands the trade; whosoever COM
mands the trade of the world commands
the riches of the world, and consequent
~ the world itself.
Ihls country has too much at stake to
1copardize such vast interests and pos
slb'llt'es. Every one knows what Roosc-
welt has done for the West and where he
stands on the questions of Oriental trade
What has Parker ever done for the
West? Does he know that such coun-
try exists?
