First Position: Nobody wishes
war.
Second Position: Certain politi-
clans, in order to provide the occa-
sion for diplomatic negotiation, since
they are nothing If not in the public
eye, cast a quantity of dust in the air,
join with the politicians of some
other nation who are in a like fix,
and arrange a conference of all the
powers.
T. ird Position: The conference
wraps itself in mystery and throws
out dark hints about national honor;
the newspapers emit hot air; the In
feathered geese who abound in all
walks of life get to cackling; who
ever ventures to ask what it is all
about gets himself denounced as a
c%opperhead; and a war sentiment is
engendered.
Fourth Position: The world is on
fire, until there is glory enough for
all. .
Fifth Position; Taxes; more
taxes; peace with honor, ard still
taxes.-Life.

RUNNING SORES ON LIMBS.
Little Girls Obstinate Case of Eczema
Mother Says: "Cuticura Remedies
Household Standby,"

"Last year, after having my little girl
treated by a very prominent physician for
al obstinate case of eczema, | resorted to
the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous re-
lief afforded that we discarded the physi-
clans prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and
Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with
the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs
were covered with running sores. In
about six weeks we had her completely
well, and there has been no recurrence OF

1t is the expectation of the Govern

the Standard Oil officials of violation
of the Interstate Commerce law, the
Sh~-mar Antitrust act and the law
making rebates illegal.
1t isalso the hope of the Govern

In order to have these cases han

has appointed Frank B. kellogg, of

Chicago, special counsel. Mr.. Morri-
son will resign as District Attorney

Every kind OF case that can be

A certain old family physician
never tires of proclaiming the yir-
tues of a glass OF cold water taken
on waking in the morning.
MANY people" he remarks, "avoid
drinking water as though it were
poison, although without it no one
can be properly healthy. When
taken early in the morning it has a
cleansing and bracing effect on the
system, while its beneficial effect on
the liver can hardly be exaggerated.
at Is so simple a rule that the ad-
vice is well worth following, espe-
cially by those who suffer with in
digestion or who awake with a feel

sensation which aflicts innumerable

To-day the President and the Repub-

stage. Just nov country looms
large in the worlds affairs. If the

them" The English Premier in 1850
gave us forty more years. And yet
what nation has grown and prospered
like ours? Government is for the pro-

never has been an hour in the history
of the Republic when the millions were
so happy or so prosperous. or when
they possessed in so large measure
their political and Industrial rights,
