NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair
Began to Fall out-WonderfuI Re-
suit from cuticura Remedies.

About the latter part of July my
whole body began to itch. l did not
take much notice of 1t at first, but it
began to get worse all the time. and
then began TO get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that We're recommended for skin hum
ors; but became worse all the time.
Ny hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night. just as soon as I would get
In bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin TO itch and my finger
nails would keep it irritated. and it
was not long before ! could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and
did. and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks l would take a hot bath every
night and then apply the Cutieura
Ointment to my whole body; and
kept getting better, and by the time
] used four boxes of Cuticura l was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out. D. f. Blankenship. 319

AT THE SUMNER HOTEL.
Experience of Winston Churchill Fa.
milar to Many.

Winston Churchill in an address
that he made in Concord recently
praised the New Hampshire farmer.
Ours" he said, is a state fitted
above all others for a summer resort.
New Hampshire, with its superb eli
mate. its mountains. its lakes and
forests, will in a generation or two
be one great pleasure ground-a vast
park, dotted with beautiful villas, to
which will come each summer fam
lilies from all parts of America.
in anticipation of this many farm
ers are learning to conduct hotels.
They are building cottages for sum
mer visitors. Some of them, too, are
taking boarders.
And | am glad to say that the New
Hampshire farmer is in a position to
take boarders, because. unlike the
farmers in other states that l could
name, he does not send all his good
things to the city. l once boarded at
a fine big farm, but the fare was
wretched-canIed vegetables, con
densed milk and so on.
by Jove.' said one morning at
breakfast. as I pushed my egg cup
from me, these eggs are really not
as fresh as. those l get in New York.
My farmer host snorted.
That's rank prejudice on your
part, Mr.. Churchill he said. It's
from New York that all our eggs
come"

under the head line. Tired of the
Lords" you state that the members Of
the House Of Lords hold their position
by virtue Of heredity. While this is
largely true, your statement would
suggest that the House of Lords is the
same as the peerage. which is a mis-
take. There is more than 10 per cent
of that body who do not hold their
seats by heredity, and who sit in that
house only during life, while some
only occupy seats during one parlia-
ment unless reelected. and so may or
may not be returned. The twenty-four
lords spiritual and the archbishOps
of Canterbury and York hold their
seats only during life. The same is
true Of the four lords of appeals. The
twenty-eight Irish peers are chosen
only for life, and upon the death of
any one of them, his successor is
elected from the Irish peers, and the
votes of all the Irish peers. There
are also sixteen Scotch peers. who are
elected only for a single parliament.
and when a new parliament is sum-
mOned, the peers of Scotland meet at
Edinburgh and there elect sixteen
peers for the coming parliament. and
ii is their right to return the same six
teen whose term has expired, or elect
others. PAUL NEYsON.

London. Dec. IA slight but distinct
cooling Of Anglo-American relations,
which has taken place in the past few
months. is beginning TO become the sub
tcct Of public comment in this country
It should be clearly understood that this
change in 10 way affects the official
relations of the two countries.
The present political government no
less than the last, is eager to maintain
the entente as closely as the United States
is willing to make it. There is no
jealousy in official circles in the incrcas-
ing important role which America is play
ing in the world politics. On the con-
trarv. the English foreign policy con-
+fnues to be as)ng lines exactly parallel
10 the American. The weakening in good
fellowship, so far as it exists, is a change
in popular feeling.
If one seeks the cause it viii be found
partly in envy Of Americas stupendous,
unbroken prosperity during the season OF
financial depression here. and partly in
the effect of long series of American
business scandals which have been ex-
plotted by the English press to an extent
perhaps unequaled in the public discus
sion Of affairs of another country
Hold Americans in Less Regard.
Be the cause what it may, the fact re-
mains that America and Americans are
regarded by the people Of the country
with less respect. and regard than two
years ago. This change is giving The
government itself some uneasiness, and is
making the choice of a successor to St
Henry Mortimer Durand as British Am
bsssador at Washington a matter of tn,
greatest delicacy and importance Tn,

the diplomatic circle is much discussed

MARKS CASE TO BE EXCEPTION
Member of Parliament Attacked for

Take Action in, the Matter.

London, Dec, lit is rare that scandals
in English public life become the sub
ject Of newspaper discussion. They exist,
but they are seldom dragged relentlessly
into the light as is constantly the practice
in the United States. This. perhaps. is
one Of the reasons for the clean reputa-
ton of English political life
An exception to this rule was made
this week. when several electors for the
Thanet division wrote to the Speaker Of
the House Of Commons calling attention
to the court record Of Harry Marks, men,
Der of Parliament for that division.
Marks formerly lived in New York but
is now and has for many years been
proprietor of a London financial newspa-

Criminal Libel Case Tried.
The letter set forth that Marks. in 1880.
brought an action for criminal libel Of
/ the gravest kind. one charge affecting
/ his private character and another his
financial reputation. Both charges were
/ said to be proved and made in the
public interest They showed that Marks

/ pretense of giving important advice to
his readers. and to have accepted bribes
! from dishonest promoters 20 perform the
same kindly office for their enterprises.
The judge at the trial described Marks
as "a scoundrel on his own admission
and q dishonest rogue"
The signatOTies TO the letter to the
speaker of the House Of Commons humbly
submitted that "a person Of this charac-
ter cannot continue to be a member of
Parliament without impairing the conf
dence of the public in the honor and puri-
ty of the House of Commons itself"
No Breach of Privilege.
A question Of privilege was raised in the
House Of Commons op Monday. and the
Speaker, in accordance with the rulings
of his predecessors, decided that no breach
Of privilege had been committed. since the
charges did not affect Marks in his ca
pacity as member of Parliament.
Mr.. Marks thereupOn arose and denied
the accusation against him as false. ,He
explained that the issue had already been
twice decided in his favor by his con-
stituents in the last October by a ma
jority of 400
| He announced. however. that since the
matter had been brought directly before
Parliament, it was his intention to con-
suit his friends and take such action as
appeared to be consistent with his own
honor and that of the House OF Com
mons.
