From an Awful Skin Humsur.

CURED BY cUTlcuRA
One Application Soothed Him to
Sleep. Cure Speedy
and Permanent.

"When my little boy was about three
months old his head broke out with
rash, which was very itchy and ran con-
siderable watery fluid. We tried every
thing we could, but he got worse all the
time till 1t spread to his arms, legs, and
then to his entire body, and he got so
bad that he came near dying. The rash
would itch SO that he would scratch till
the blood ran, and thin yellowish stun
would be all over his pillow in the morn
ing. had to put mittens on his hands
to keep him from tearing his skin around
his wrists. He got SO weak and run
down that he took fainting spells like
we would think him dying. He was al
most skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
"He was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies. /
had not laid him down in his cradle in
the daytime for long time. He had
got so that he just slept in our arms all
the time. / washed him with Cuticura
Soap and put on one application Of
Cuticura Ointment and he was so
soothed that I put him in the cradle.
You don't know how glad 1 felt when he
felt better. Ittook one box Of Cuticura
Ointment, pretty near one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, and about half bottle of
Cuticura Resolvent, to cure. think
our little boy would have died only for
the Cuticura Remedies, and 1 shall al
ways remain firm friend of them"

Forest City, Iowa, Feb. 23.-The re-
publican county convention of Winnie
bago county at Forest City was the
first held in the state and is of inter-
est as showing the sentiment of the
farmers on tariff reform and rec
iprocity. The resolutions adopted
Resolved, That we reaffirm our allie

republican party and heartily indorse the
administration of President Theodore
Roosevelt We especially indorse and
commend the attitude of his administra-
ton in regard to the proper supervision
and control of great combinations Of cap
ital, either in the form Of industrial trusts
or railway corporations.
Resolved, That we commend Governor
| A. B. Cummins in the conduct of the
| office which he has SO ably filled, and
| that we recognize in him an executive
who measures up to the highest standard
| of personal integrity and broad statesman
| ship.
| We indorse his attitude on the tariff and
on reciprocity, particularly with Canada,
| believing as we do that the best interests
of the people of the northwest, on both
sides of the line. are best served by a
nearer approach to the same trade con-
ditions which have brought prosperity to
| the several states.

The london Times complimentary.

The London Times Complimentary.
England's greatest newspaper, the
London Times, pays glowing tribute
in a recent issue to American rail-
roads. Among other things it says:
In everything that makes railway
travelling safe, rapid and convenient,
America is the only country which can
dispute our English primacy. While,
for example, English signaling meth
DDS have set the standard, it is to
America we owe automatic brakes
and sleeping and dining cars. Within
the last few years, moreover, Ameri-
can railways and their service have
improved more rapidly than their
English rivals.
A splendid illustration of this was
the Inauguration of the Pioneer
Limited" trains of the c., M. & st. P.
Railway between st. Paul. Minneapolis
and Chicago a year ago-known as
the famous train of the world. The
equipment of these trains is the finest
ever built. Tourists from abroad have
been quick to approve the aecommo
dations for journeying afforded in
America and particularly on the
through trains of the western railway
already mentioned.

GAIN IN INSULAR TRADE
FIIIPINOS BUY RICE AND SELL
HEMP IN LARGER QUANTITIES
THAN FORMERLY. -

Washington, Feb. 23.-During nine
months of 1908, according to a special
bulletin Of the bureau Of insular af-
fairs, the exports and imports of the
Philippines show an increase COM
pared with the corresponding period
of the previous year. Heavy exports
OF hemp and copra. offsett ting heavy
Imports OF rice, explain the increase.
The imports were $26,103,601, against
$24,338,323 for 1902. The exports
amounted to $23,563,32S-an increase
of nearly $4,500,000.
There was a falling off in general
trade, the United States losing 10 per
cent and the United Kingdom is per
cent, while Spain has only two-thirds
of the amount of her trade in 1902.
United States exports increased from
s7,232,411 to $9,1S6,036, and the trade
with Spain was practically the same.
But a. small part Of the United States
business is carried under the Ameri-
can flag and all but per cent of the
general trade of the islands is done
in foreign bottoms.

BURGLAR VISITS SCHOOL
WHILE THE GIRLS ARE AT DIN
NER THEIR JEWELS DISAP-
PEAR WITH THIEF.

New York, Feb. 23.-Jewel cases
owned by daughters of some of the
wealthiest families in the east have
been despoiled by clever burglar
who has obtained entrance to a Sc
lect school at Pelham Manor, near this
city.
i The robbery was committed, during
the dinner hour. No one saw the in
terloper, who must have climbed to
an, upper story window. He had the
house to himself and calmly went
from room to room, and secured dia-
mond rings, watches and chains val
ued at $4,000. a.. e..
When the girls returned the police
were hurriedly summoned, but the
thief had made good his escape.

SLEEP is PRICELESS
But 1t Can Be Obtained by Simple

Are you hard worker? Are you
overcome with fatigue. at the end of
each days labor, and, instead Of re-
firing to bed with a feeling of salts
faction at the prospect Of nights
repose. do you wait the hour of bed
time with dread and shrinking?
Is it your unhappy lot to be awak-
ened every night, just after you have
dropped off to sleep, by an intense,
itching of the rectum?
Do you then endeavor to relieve the,
sensation by scratching SO desperately
that the skin becomes raw and LAGER
ated, and you finally sink into the
sleep of exhaustion? ,..,,..,-
If So. you do not need to be told
that you are afflicted with itching
piles. You have probably tried every
remedy you could hear of, with but
temporary relief if any, and have con-

but to drag out miserable existence.
