 One Week by Cuticura Remedies.

"When my little gal baby was one week cid she had s5n disease. A thin sllin formed over her body and under t was watery hlood and when she was washed 1t would burst and break. She was in that condition for weeks, and l tired everything 1 could think of. but nothing did her any good When she was three months old l took her to San Antonio to see doctor. but the doctor We wanted to see was not at home, so my sister gave me q cake of Cuticura Soap and half q box cf Gutirura Ointment, and told me to use them, which l did in time. 1 used them three times, and the hamor began to fade. and in one week she was sound and well. and 1t has never returned since.

There are many country schools that open soon and run through the summer. These schools should be more careful, if possible, than those that run for longer periods. The short term given the children should have the very best utilization. Don't let politics or popularity of some one cut any figure in the selection of a teacher, consider only the value of the teacher as an instructor.

Kentucky Colonel Didn't Apologize, But He Came Very Near

Many stories have been tod of south ern ehivalrv but the palm dPears 10 go to a story told by q former governor of Kentucky while visiting Philadelphia re gently.
 According to the narrator, a genuine Kentucky colonel boarded a street car which was very crowded, and somehow he stepped on the foot of very pretty woman Of course. the woman expected the celorel to apologize. just as did everybody else who heard her give q mousehke squeal when the eolonel's foot came down.
 And she looked as though she expected an apology. but the colonel. divining her thought, dofFed his hat and said; No, madam l m not going to apologize. When the good Lord was so gracious as to make women so beautiful and charming and with such wonderfully small feet that a man has to tramp on them 70 find them then l don't think that an apol' ogy

IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
Boise is Making Great Preparations
for Meeting.


Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota
has formally accepted an invitation to
attend the Fourteenth National Irriga-
ton congress, which meets at Boise,
September and s, and will be among
the distinguished national characters
taking part in its proceedings.
The special train bringing Vice Pres
ident Fairbanks and party to the Ma
tional Irrigation congress- at Boise is
scheduled to arrive in the capital city
of Idaho on the morning of September
3. A public reception will be held that
evening to the distinguished guests of
the congress.
A year ago the government reolama-
ton service had under construction ir-
rigation projects involving the expend-
iture of $50, 900, 900 and the reclama-
ton of 800, 900 acres of land The
expenditure of this amount of money
will result in creating land values in
excess Of $S7, 600 900, and the lands
reclaimed will produce an annual crop
of the value of $27 900, 900, or nearly
sufficient to pay the sum advanced by
the government every year. This is
one of the arguments which will be
used by the advocates of the PROPOSE
ton Of asking the government for an
addition to the fund of 800, 900, 00C
for reclamation.

Governor Mcdonald of Colorado, com.

ETHICS IN THE AIR.
A Qaickening of the Business Con~
science of the whole Country.

A Qaickening of the Business Con-
science of the Whole Country.
The truth is that every well-infOrm-
ed person in the community not only
knew about the political contributions
and suspicious lobbying Of corpora
tions, but some knew, Also of other
questionable performances on the part
of the officers of the same concerns.
These things were known, were wide
ly bruited, were told of In the press,
and yet it took a picturesque and 81
gantic personal, interior struggle to
In motion the machinery of govern
mental investigation.
Now that this has been done, with
definite and startling revelations, pub
lie opinion has been more and more
deeply stirred. A reason for the in
dignation excited is the discovery
that, along with a deliberate system OF
contributions to political parties, and
to lobbyists for doubtful uses, have
been methods of business which. at
any time, would have been unpleasant
to subject to merciless public inquiry.
The result Is sure to be not only Q
reformation of business methods on
the part of insurance companies, but
quickening of the business con-
science Of the whole country One
straw showing the new current OF
thought among men of business turned
up in the newspapers the other day.
when the chairman of one of our arg-
est corporations, who himself was said
to be a director of some forty others,
declared: I'VE have no right to neg
lect our duties as directors, and |, for
one, Intend to give more attention to
the affairs of this company in the fu-
ture than l have in the past"
One most desirable result within
sight is the passage of laws assuring
publicity In the use of money in cleo
lions; and another is the prevention OF
the detection of corporate profits-es-
pecially those which are in the nature
of trust funds-into political channels.
These new regulations not long ago
seemed to be coming very slowly; but
soon we shall, perhaps, see Legislators,
with public opinion at their heels in
The form of aroused constituencies,
scrambling over one another to vote
for these long-cherished schemes, these
distant dreams, Of ''pestilent reform
ers." Wha. with reform political
movements In various cities and
States, the patent medicine exposures,
and the Investigations into the affairs
of large corporations, there is a good
deal of ethics in the air Just now
