Two Illinois Girls-Another Sis-

IT must give much praise to all the
Cuticura Remedies. I used but one
cake of Cuticura Soap and one box Of
Cuticura Ointment, as that was all that
was required to cure my disease. I
was very much troubled with eczema
of the head, and friend of mine told
nae to use the Cuticura Remedies,
which did, and am glad to say that
they cured my eczema entirely. My
sister was also cured of eczema of the
head by using the Cuticura Remedies.
Another sister has used Cuticura Re-
solvent and Pills and thinks they are
splendid tonic. Miss Edith Hammer,

FLUCTUATIONS IN PRICES.
But Were Erratic and Not Easily
 Taken Advantage Of.

New York, Oct. S.-Fluctuations in prices of stocks were quite wide to- day, and the purposes of the profess sional traders were thus better served than in the lethargic market which has prevailed for several days. The drawback was that the fluctuations be- came rather feverish and cratic, mak- ing it difficult even for the room trad CTS, except the most agile of them to take advantage of the opportunities The dealings offered nothing of signi- f1cance outside this narrow profess sional circle.
 Evidently there had been built up speculative accounts of some volume on the assumption that there was to be an extra dividend on Northern Pa cific, and a rather precipitate decline followed the announcement that only the regular dividend had been declar- cd. The Hill stocks abruptly declined when it became known that Northern Pacific was getting it's regular quarter ly 3-4 per cent, and no more. Their strength earlier had only partly offset the heavy tone in the general list, which was inclined to react from the sharp advance of yesterday of it's own weight. The reactionary tendency was emphasized by the weakness in Chesapeake and Ohio, following the publication of it's annual report show ing only nominal surplus left out of the years results, after special appro- priations and the payment of the one per cent dividend on the stock.
 It was noticeable that copper secur- ities were inclined to advance abroad on the score of the reduction in the Rio Tinto dividend not being so radi- cal as had been feared. The whole market lapsed into extreme dullness again late in the day.

BOSTON AND MAINE MERGER
Government OHlclal in New Haven
 Will Investigate.

Assistant Attorney General Purdy, of the United States government, passed through New Haven yesterday on his way to Boston, where he is to investigate the proposed merger of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad with the Boston and Maine. He will act in conjunction with the Massachusetts state authorities, and some interesting developments may be looked for
 The sending of MT Purdy to Boston at this time is considered as a signi- ficant move by the railroad officials here, who are watching the moves of the department of justice with Keen interest
 Just what authority MT. Purdy has vested in him by the authorities at Washington Is not known.

of foreign exchange yesterday reflected the heavy buying of bills to pay off maturing indebtedness.

One ninety-day loan which was based on rather inactive industrials was made yesterday on 8 1-2 per cent. basis. This rate was wholly abnormal, but was not regarded as excessive because of the indisposition of most banks to lend on anything except stocks and bonds that are actively traded in on the Stock exchange.

plaud the victor of fairly Won contest.
Last year when Harvard won the boat
race from Yale his delight was unbounded.
In his exuberance he congratulated every
Harvard man he saw, and to several
friends remarked, This is the first time
| have been able to look Taft in the face
for long time" (He referred, of course,
to the college sports.) Secretary Taft is
Yale man.
All the athletic sports common to
college life are approved by President
Roosevelt. He believes in them, so long
as business is not made of them and
they do not engross the attention of men
to the exclusion of useful occupation. Il
address at Harvard. Il believe in out
door games, and | do not mind in the
least that they are rough games, or that
those who take part in them are occa-
sionally injured. | have no sympathy
with the overweight sentlmentallty
which would keep young man in cotton
wool" But he went on to say that the
serious business of life must not be neg
lected for sports" And now he declares
there is no place in the scheme of life for
the man who becomes so engrossed in
sport that he pays no attention to affairs
and duties which mark the progress of
the world.
The President thinks all kinds of out
door exercises and sports are healthful
and improve man physically and morally.
He points out that many outdoor amuse-
ments and good exercise are within the
reach of all. While some pleasures are
expensive, Others are not, and some of
the simplest and best cost nothing but the
effort to indulge in them. ANY kind of
outdoor sport or exercise said the Presi-
dent, far excels tramping about a billiard
table amid tobacco smoke and drinking.
The man of outdoors will always prove
the better in LIES contest"

very popular at one time in Washington.
Having seen it, the President wanted to
try it, and did so. There was science in
it which appealed to him, as the intel
lectual side of sport always does. He
recommended that it be tried at the
Annapolis naval academy. \ special in
structor was installed for the purpose,
and jiu jitsu was taught to the mldshlp-
men, Naval officers, after a trial, con-
Cluded that it was not adapted to the
academy athletics, and it was discontinued.
My playmates is a term which the
President affectionately applies to the
men who ride, walk, or play tennis with
him. Three Ambassadors are among the
"playmates." Baron Speck Won Stern
burg the German Ambassador, rides with
the President; Mr. Jus Grand, the French
Ambassador, plays tennis with him; and
lanes Bryce, the British Ambassador,
takes long walks with him. Others of his
"plavmates" are Americans who enjoy
ali the outdoor pleasures of the President,
some of which do not attract the dip
lomats.
The President INDUCES in sports for
pleasure and not for championship. Il
am not an expert in any of the sports or
pastimes which | enjoy he said. Still
he can chop well, ride well, and is a good
shot. But he does none of them for the
sole purpose of achievement, although he
likes to win as we'll as anybody. His
chief object is the open air and the good
fellowship of those who enjoy sport and
exercise for the exhilaration they afford.
1t is with keen interest that the Presi-
dent follows the college contests, espe-
cially in rowing and football, in both of
which he always takes delight. Naturally
he wants Harvard to win but, as in the
case where he personally takes part in
games, he says, - Let the best man, the
best team, and the best crew win" He

A LITTLE EDITORIAL.

Salesmanship is the highest paid of all
professions. 1t is easier and less costly to
enter than other professions. 1t is quicker
and infinitely more generous in its cash
returns, A salesman's salary is based on
what he produces. Any employer would
rather have a S10.OO0-a-year man than
S., OOO-a-year man. On most statesmen there
are no limits set. AS they can produce
in that proportion can they take. Nearly
all young lawyers and doctors have long
struggle before they earn $1,000 a year.
Most statesmen can earn that much from
the start And trade" is no longer looked
down upon. 1t suffers nothing in compar-
ison with the once so-called learned pro-
fessionS.'
Nearly everybody is a salesman. Any
one who disposes of goods or service at
profit is a salesman, no matter whether he
is on the road" behind counter ,work king
from house to house, in the quiet of private
Offices, or fighting big battles before boards
of directors. Nor do statesmen have to be
born" Statesmen can be trained and
developed just as lawyers or doctors or
teachers or engineers are. We have a
booklet-"About Being Born-as Applied
to Saesmen"-that settles once for all that
ancient chestnut Statesmen are born not
made"-a chestnut that has been damper
on the ambitions of thousands Of young
men. Well be glad to send that booklet
free also to anyone who wants it. There's
some sure enough sense in it, plainly and
spicily expressed.
