Itching and Painful Sores Covered
Head and Body Cured in a Week by

For fifteen years my scalp and fore

body was covered with sores. Words
cannot express how l suffered from
the itching and pain. / tried many
doctors and treatments, but could get
no help. and had given up hope when
a friend told me to get Cuticura. AZ

OF soap and n box of ointment made
a complete cure in one week. (Signed)

COMFORT IN FEEDING SWINE.

AS a breeder OF swine for nearly twenty
years the writer has learned that
many OF his old. ideas concerning their
care were wrong. We know now that
swine are as appreciative of cleanliness
n comforts as other farm animals. OF
course it is not TO be expected that an
Old animal who has rooted in filth for
1hree or four years can be made TO see
the beauties of a clean pen at once, but

THE MAN WHO BUYS NOVELTIES
Near the writer lives a man who has
been a farmer, fruit grower and vegetable
grower for forty years; a hard worker. an
honest man. but as poor today as when
he first started in life. He has had little
or no sickness IN his family and no great
troubles such as aften thwart the best
efforts of able men, but he has been a
slave to novelties. Each season as he
catalogues are received he spends hours
porting over them and greedily reading the
iurid descriptions of novelties. Al seed
buying times he scrapes together all the
money obtainable and for every dollar he
spends for standard sorts he spends 50
for novelties. He saves his run-out corn
for seed and for seed potatoes plants any
hing he can buy at the store. His garden
is large, but he has so many different
gi.ngs in it that he cannot get a decent
.oad of anything to market, SO he finds 1t
lard 10 sell the odds and ends he raises.
No one seems to want blue radishes,
striped tomatoes or red squashes so he has
a hard time OF it. He typi1es hundreds
of men working in rural sections. Test the
novelties by all means, for many of them
are valuable, but place the main reliance
on the sorts which have been tested and
found OF value through repeated seasons.
WHY NOT FEED THE ORCHARD?
Why any fruit grower should expect his
orchard TO bear him a harvest OF dollars
when he gives Ii no attention is beyond
ones comprehension. Such a man would
not expect a profitable crop of corn, oats,
potatoes or any other crop on the same
terms. so why fruit? True, the SOL in
which the young trees are set may be all
that is desirable at the time, but it's fer
tility will not last for an indefinite period
as the trees draw on it. There are, OF
course, differences OF opinion as to the
treatment of the orchard, but 1t is certain
that any treatment which will add to the
fertility Of the soil so that it keeps pace
with the demands of the trees cannot be
far out Of the way. 1T is absolutely a
waste Of time for one to go into orchard
ing unless they are prepared to feed their
orchards and otherwise care for them.
The numerous insect enemies Of fruit trees
are hard to fight and there are more Of
them than formerly, so there is even less
chance of success than in former years
for the man who simply sets the trees and
gives no thought to them afterwards A

MUSICIANS LIVE HERE
FAMOUS PLAYERS FROM ABROAD
ARE LOCATING IN MINNEAPO-
LIS PERMANENTLY.

Ample enlistments to the corps OF
high class local musicians have been
made in the past two years. largely be-
cause of the organization of the Mime
apolis Symphony orchestra and the
Minneapolis Park band, according to
reports turned in by some of the CEN
sus enumerators the past few days.
In some instances their special re-
ports show that these musicians, most
Of them of foreign schooling, have been
so impressed by the possibilities of the
city as musical center that they have
foregone engagements in other cities
and have invested their savings in Min
neapOlis homes.
Among the cases on record are those
of Achille Heynen and Robert Minsel.
Heynen is bassoon player whose eX
perience has been with many of the
highest-class bands and orchestras of
Europe and who played an extended en-
gagement last summer with the hun
dred-piece Tyrolean Alps orchestra at
the ST. Louis exposition. Conductor
Oberhoffer brought him here for the
symphony orchestra season last winter
and he liked the city so well that he
has bought a house and lot here.
Robert Minsel is French horn So
loist, whose engagements have been I'M
der such famous European conductors
as Nikisch, Reinecke. Weingaertner and
Hans Winderstein. He has been in the
United States three years and came to
Minneapolis about year ago. He IS
also listed as HORSEPOWER.
Among others are Edward Erck,
French horn player, and Cretienne Erck,
fuegelhorn soloist, both Hollanders.

One among the eight stories which make
up the book deserves the attention of the
Society of Psychical Research. It is "a
Doubling Thomas" an account of an at
tempt to capture an Indian murderer,
whose evil genius seemed to warn him OF
the approach of the minions of the law,
by telepathic influence, until the aid of
an Indian prophet was invoked, and dis
closed the hiding place of the criminal.
We may have overlooked reports of the
kind heretofore, but in this story The
Uneasy Chair for the first time comes
upon telepathy as an explanation of the
keen scent for danger exhibited by the
Indian. The theory as applied to the case
of White Grow makes a good yarn, at any
rate.
There is not an unreadable line in the
book.

Strikes for Revenue.

The grand jury of Cook county is
learning how strikes are made and how
called off in Chicago. 1t would appear
that there is a price upon peace and
that by paying it employers can enjoy
grepose and the confidence of their en-
kployees until the walking delegates get
hungry, when there will be another
strike.

this theory as the basis of strikes and
their settlement generally, but it is pre-

Shea might be an accident. But is
there a system Of starting and stopping
strikes for revenue? This is the more
important question. The testimony OF
the man Driscoll is that he has for
years been employed as a go-between.
When the leaders wanted money they

strike, and then the leaders began

An Instance and Its Sequel.

Captain F. Norton Goddard, the man
who enforced the antipolicy law in New
York and sent the notorious Al Adams
to Sing Sing, is. dead, and in sixteen
days after his demise, it is reported,
policy is fourishing again.
We sometimes become very tired of
crusaders, Of committees and of indi-
viduals who make it their special bust
ness to enforce this or that law, but
an illustration of this kind tends to
reconcile us to their activity. Policy
is probably the meanest kind Of gam
bling extant. In cities policy tickets
are peddled about to- the Offices, in res
taurants and barber shops. They are
carried ABOUT by agents who get a per-
centage on their sales, and the business
is as systematically worked as the So
Letting of trade in any line you might
name. In this way the internal temp
tation is kept constantly before clerks,
both men and women, boys and girls.
The investment is not large, it appeals
to the gambling instinct, and the al
most certain loss Of the principal is not
deterrent.
Mr.. Goddard took up the cudgels
against this form of gambling, and in
five years of hard, unthanked and I'm.
popular work cleaned it out of the city
of New York.
In the course of his prosecutions the
whole plan and scope Of "policy" was
laid bare to the police. The informa
tion was put within their reach where
by they might forever bar the business
from New York city. But they have
not done it. The policy sharps and
their miserable agents swooped down
like harpies again the minute he was
gone. Why did not the police of New
York keep up the campaign against

Value of a Name.

Some time ago the card of the old
New York banking house of Vermilye,
that used to appear in T h e Journ a |,
dropped out of sight, and many people
have wondered, probably, what became
Of it. The last Of the Vermilyes died,
and the firm name disappeared from the
financial calendar. For seventy-fve
wears the house had carried on business.
1t stood among the great conservative
firms of the United States. Wars and
panics had tried it sorely, but thru the
times that sent other firms to ruin it
stood like rock, and always the name
was a synonym for honesty and relia-
bility. In time the partners who car
ried on the business after the passing
out of the last Vermilye, split up into
two firms and the question arose as to
which should have the old name. So
valuable an asset was the Vermilye
name considered that the matter went
into the courts, and the result was that
both divisions were obliged to forego its
use, and organize firms under different
titles. This was the best illustration in
finance in a quarter century Of the
value of a good name.
1t appears timely to bring this up il
connection with another illustration
along the same line-the appointment
of Grover Cleveland to trusteeship il
the reorganized Equitable society. Thi:

NO. 4.

T went to a city to investigate
the claims of two competing papers.
One was penny paper with cir
culation of about 100000, and the
other was 10-cent-a-week paper,
with circulation of about $4,000.
For a week I followed the carrier
boy of the 2-cent home paper block
after block thru the city. You can
imagine my surprise when T found
that this paper was delivered to
over 80 per cent Of the homes, and
often not a single house in an en-
tire block would be missed. What
is still more remarka BILE, almost in
variably, either on the stoop or at
the window, some member of the
family would be watching for the
favorite paper. In talking, with
these people, I found that they re-
ferred to it as their paper. This
paper, T noticed, was not pasted,
and l was Informed that this was
omitted at the request of the sub
scribers, so that the paper could
be divided and read by more than
one member of the family.

If the peace commissioners are to
meet in Washington and adjourn i'm
mediately to a convenient summer re-
sort, we put in a word for Lake Min
netonka. In addition to being the best
kind Of summer resort, it is, neutral
country. The people Of Excelsior being
on one side, those Of Wayzata must be
on the other, and this makes Mime
tonka neutral. Then Minnetonka is
about as far from Japan as from Rus

the peace talk. Besides, if the COM

there is always Will Dillman, the poet,
to soothe them. Let see what the Com
