Scalp Humor Cured by Cuticura Soap
and Ointment After All Else Failed.
Il was troubled with a severe scalp
humor and loss of hair that gave me
a great deal of annoyance and incon-
v~enience. After unsuccessful efforts
with many remedies and so-called
hair %tonics, a friend induced me to
try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The

Some people seem to enjoy nothing so
much as being awed by what they read
In the newspapers.
Some OF our great problems will solve
themselves, but they will give us a
great deal more trouble than If we
solved them.

Others do o know the weight of our
burdens, but 1t is not because we
haven't tried 10 explain them.
Don't be too ostentatiously penitent;
people find it hard TO sympathize with

Mischievous Legislation Threatened.

Legislation is threatened In many
States during this coming winter for
the suppression Of the so-called pat,
ent' medicines. The success OF such
legislation would mean the abolition of
the home medicine chest and would
force persons, no matter how remote
their homes from a physician, to call
in a doctor for every minor ailment.
The legislation as proposed would
mean frequent long delays awaiting
the arrival of a physician, when a SIM
pie remedy administered by a member
OF the household would accomplish the
result desired, or at least give tempo
rarV relief

PROMISE OF IMMUNITY
IS PLEA Of BEEF men

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Complete immu.
nifty from prosecution under the pend.
ing indictme nt returned by the federal
grand jury several months ago il
claimed by J. Ogden Armour and other
defendants, meat packers and agents,
charged with being promoters of the
so-called beef trust, in an additional
plea in bar filed by Attorney John S.
Miller, representative of the packers.
The new plea, which came as com.
plete surprise to the government, sets
up as facts that when Commissioner
Garfield, Of the department Of com.
merce and labor, Investigated the beef
business, he promised the packers that,
whatever testimony they gave without
being under oath, or whatever docu.
mentary evidence they voluntarily pro
duced, the defendants should have the
same rights, indemnities, and immuni.
ties as if they had testified under oath
and compulsion.
Under this plea Attorney Miller
hopes to establish the fact that there
was an agreement between the packers
and the government that they testify
and produce evidence without being
subpoenaed or the oath being admin.
istered, but that as far as the immun
ity was concerned, it should be con.
sidered as if they had been subpoenaed
and took the oath.
Mr.. Garfield has been asked exactly
what occurred during the investigation

GOLD On THEIR rARr1S.
Veins OF Quartz Discovered on Old
Ranches In Idaho.

Moscow, Idaho, Nov. Ga. NJ.
Buchanan, farmer living two miles
from Cornwall, has created excitement
here by the discovery Of free gold on
the farm where he and his father, N.
Buchanan, have lived for the past
twenty years and within two miles OF
the Northern Pacific railway. Mr..
Buchanan is an old and respected pic.
neer of Latah county and none ques-
ton his story.
81 have seen the outcroppings Of
that quartz year after year, but it new.
er occurred to me that it contained
gold. Two weeks ago l took George
Rouse in with me and we started to
prospect the ground. Joe Riley, an old
prospector, came along to help us ont.
He beat some quartz up in mortar
and PANIED it and got fine colors. The
entire knoll seems to be covered, and
we traced the quartz across the creek
to several other farms. We have been
down eight feet and it is just the same
there"
So excited were the farmers that
they hustled to town to file mining
claims on their land, not knowing that
the deed they held was sufficient.

them in cases for art of the nineteenth

Continuing, he said it is his purpose
to recognize the arts and crafts In the
Metropolitan museum and to make the
collections have an educational value,
especially those bearing upon the man
ufactures; SO that Americans can do
all their studying of the industrial arts
in America instead of Europe.

the exposition before the Dominion
house with recommendation for aid.
He believes it will attract big atten.

cepts. He is already an ardent sup.
porter and will shortly give an illus.

today on 200 mile tour of the great
Klondike gold creeks, where he will
take up the fair proposition among the
big operators and others and make pre-
Nminary canvass for exhibits of all

Major Wood, commander mounted

He says promise was made him that
letter would be ssent setting out the
full scope Of the fair and its purposes
and inviting the Yukon territory and
him to take part, but was not sent,

says that after being fully informed
