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

at was troubled with sore hands, so
sore that when l would put them in
water the pain would nearly set me
crazy, the skin would peel off and the
flesh would get hard and break. There
would be blood flowing from at least
fifty places on each hand. Words could
never tell the suffering endured for
three years. I tried everything, but
could get no relief. 1 tried at least
eight different doctors, but none did
me any good, as my hands were as bad
when l got through doctoring as when
l began. 1 also tried many remedies,
but none of them ever did me one
cents worth of good. l was discour-
aged and heart-sore. I would feel SO
bad mornings, to think l had to go to
work and stand the pain for ten hours,
/ often felt like giving up my position.
Before L started to work / would
have to wrap every finger up sep
arately, so as 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 fact, I. had to wear
gloves all the time. But thanks to
Cuticura, that is all over now.

ments, which have emanated from
various sources during the last few
months. Congress may not be called
into extraordinary session next Novem-
Der. Indeed, the indications are now
that no extraordinary session will be
held this year.
Strong pressure Is being brought to
bear upon the President to induce him
not to call an extra session. 80 much
interest has been manifested in the
subject throughout the country that the
President has received large number
OF letters regarding 1t. Many Senators
and Representatives have urged against
an extra session. The President has
reserved definite decision of the matter,
and the chances, as noted, being that
the session will not be called.
Last spring it was the President s
idea to issue at the proper time a call
for an extraordinary session of Con-
gress, to be held in October. for the
purpose of enacting, If possible, rail-
road rate Legislation. incidentally it
was expected that some of the recon-
mendations might be made by the
President regarding proposed changes
in the existing taIiff law.

Nashville. Tenn, Aug. Is lion.

makes a statement of fact. followed
by certain interrORatories.
He states that after full legal consol-
tatlOn. he has concluded that there is
no power lodged anywhere under the
law In this State to order a legaIize0
senatorial primary, which would be
binding upon the candidates. members
of the legislature or election officers
ald that if primary were called and
held 1t would be merely a party expeo
lent and not held under the law; and
further more that only the State Party
Convention could call primary that
would be binding upon the party.
He then quotes from the public
declarations Of MessTs. CaTinack ana
Taylor to show that each has expressed
the conviction that the authority for
calling senatorial primary must be
left to the next Democratic State Con
ventlon or the Executive Committee
created by that convention. He states
that neither of the candidates has
requested the present State Committee
to call 4 primary.
The questions with which he closes
the letter are in substance as follows:

getheT to take action with reference to
a primary? Are the reported inter
views from which quotations In the
letter have been taken authentic? Do
you think legal primary can be held

present State Committee be called, or
are you still of the opinion that this
committee has no authority and that its
action in advance of the State Conven
