 full Cure by Cuticura.

Last year l suffered with a tremendous itching on my back, which grew worse and worse, until 1t spread over the whole body. and only my face and hands were free. For four months or SO suffered torments. and l had to scratch, scratch, scratch until l bled. At night when 1 went to bed things got worse, and l had at times to get up and scratch my body all over. until 1 was as sore as could be, and until l suffered excruciating pains. They told me that 1 was suffering from eczema Then l made up my mind that would use the Cuticura Remedies l used them ac- cording to instructions, and very soon in. deed l was greatly relieved. l continued until well, and now am ready to recon. mend the Cuticura Remedies to any one.

CONCERNING CLOCKS.

Never allow the clock to run down. It responds to regular attention just as surely as human being does and keeps it's course truly when made to follow it's endless routine.
 The hands of clock should always be turned forward. To set the hands by reversing the right hand motion is to loosen delicate screws that hold them within reach of various cog slips.
 Never allow the clock 10 be moved from the position where 1t is we'll bal anced. A deviation of two or three minutes a day from the correct time may be the result of an uneven placing of the clock, and once if is properly adjusted 1t should not be shifted for dusting or for artistic pur- poses. This is especially true of clocks that have pedulum.

The engine drives an endless chain to which ars attached large pans with sharp. scoop like noses. which dig into the earth. each to a uniform depth, and deposit upon pile of uniform height its load. The machine can be run backward and forward upon q railroad track at the Will of the engineer. A ditch can be dug to any reasonable depth by sim ply lowering the chain of pans The advantage of this machine lies In the fact that while il is building a levee it is also cutting the sloping embank- ment for the canal. It will excayate 1,200 cubic yards in eight hours
 The methods Of canal building now in vogue are in striking contrast with those of 181T. when the first canal was rate of 65,000 yards month of 26 working days The invention of a Chicago engineer, TOW dead, will soon be placed at work on the canal near Rochester. This machine, costing Sl00.000. is designed to seize a heap of blasted rock, elevate the large load and carry it beyond the range of work. By way of contrasting old canal making methods with the present, it may be stated that SO men, with machinery. excavate as much now in 24 hours as was exeavated by 400 men in the same length of time on the original Erie canal

dangers of racial intolerance and the

New York, March 3o-The follow
ing message sent by President George
F. Baer Of the Philadelphia & Reading
R. R.. to John Mitchell, president Of
the United Mine Workers of America,
was made public at the offices Of the
representatives Of the anthracite coal
roads in this city today:
"Philadelphia, March 3O.@.-John
Mitchell, Indianapolis. Ind:-Is it true
as stated IN the newspapers, ordered
your followers not to work in the an
thracite mines after April 1st7
"-George F. Baer.'
It was also stated at the operators
headquarters here that neither Mr.. Baer
nor any other Of the presidents Of the
anthracite coal-carrying railroads has
oils telling of the order for the hard
coal miners to strike on Monday.
Prepared for Strike.
1t was reported in this city today
that some Of the anthracite railroad
had provided for the strike by hiring
men to take the places of those who
quit work, but this was denied at the
operators headquarters today. 1t was
suggested that const abulary force be
enlisted as was done in the last great
strike. but this was DISCOURAGED by a
majority Of the operators, and they De
cided to rely entirely upon the state of
Pennsylvania to protect their property
during the projected strike; .,,..
T. The action Of the Mitchell committee
in ordering the strike has aroused deep
resentment among the coal operators
one Of whom characterized it as piece
of objectionable folly.' This opera,
tor intimated that the operators might
refuse to accept the invitation Of the
committee for a meeting here next
Tuesday unless the strike order is re-
scinded.

President Truesdale Of the Delaware

HThe mines Of the Lackawanna com
pany will be continued in operation on
Monday next, and the company will en-
Geavor to continue them in operation
It is our purpose to have notice posted
by the superintendents at the mines as
soon as possible notifying our employees
the same conditions as now exist under
the anthracite strike award
In spite of denials 1t is persistently
reported that two Of the anthracite
companies have prepared for trouble t.

It was reported today that the pric'
Of coal will be raised at once, but n,

The Delaware & Lackawanna an

prevent as far as possible any corne
and consequent rise in prices by jot

RIVAL LUTHRENS
NEAR PEACE PACT
Minneapolis Conference May
Bring Warning Norwegian
Churches Into Union,

Unity and harmony among the Nor
wegian Lutherans Of America is prob
able. Should the steps which have been
taken in Minneapolis this week by the
leaders Of the three strongest factions
of the church be followed, as now seems
probable the result will be the union of
100000 active church members into one
strong central organization.
Just what has been done this week
will not be known until the official
report has been prepared, but the fact
that fourteen leaders Of three hereto
fore rival factions have been able to
agree on areport is in itself an augury
Of greater amity in the future. The
further fact that the delegates ad-
iourned to meet again in this city on
Oct. Is, to continue their deliberations,
is proof that they are well pleased
that. thsys hope that the union w1M be
AL the delegates seen today tex-
pressed themselves as much pleased
with the conference. The utmost har-
monys and good will prevailed and the
various questions which, if raised few
years ago, would doubtless have pro-
voked an acrimonious debate, were ap-
preached by all sides in the most
friendly spirit.
There is reason to believe that an
agreement has been reached on an i'm
portant doctrinal question which has
been one of the chief causes Of the d.
vision of the church.
The conference began last Tuesday
morning and has bene in session for
three days. All but accredited delegates
were excluded from the meetings.

Special to The Journal.


Washington. March 30.-If bill to
the ways and means committee becomes
law, the farmers and manufacturers Of
the country will be able to make all
the Illuminating and heating fluid they
want and be entirely independent of the
Standard Oil. -s The bill permits the
manufacture, free of internal revenue
tax, Of alcohol when it is rendered I'M
fit for human consumption. At present
the internal revenue tax on every gal
Ion Of pure alcohol is 1920. The retail
price is $3.50 gallon, which leaves 20
cents to cover the cost Of production
and provide profit. ~ .....- ..
It is claimed that alcohol can be sold
as cheaply as kerosene or gasolene.
distilleries may be opened wherever de
sired. where ALI nef may be distilled

Free alcohol for use in the indus
