What few prominent philan-
thropists and some public institu-
tons and charities in our big cities
are doing to lower the rate Of in
fant mortality during our tropical
summer is told about in an article
on "Saving Che Babies from the
Cities Heat' by Elizabeth Howard
West9 aod in the July number Of
the New Idea Woman's Magazine.
Tn addition to its regular fresh air
activities for babies, and it's floating
hospitals, every city now has its
summer crechcs, where mothers may
take their sick babies for a day Of
country air, away from the stifling
breath Of the tenements. The writ
er in her account gives an idea Of the
extent Of this work, the many issues
which it involves, and the magnifi-
cent cooperation Of the varied
movements emphasizing that once
the ignorance Of tenement mothers
is overcome the battle is half won.
There are many valuable photo
Syraphs which will give the reader
& good idea of some Of the Difficult
,ties which have to be overcome, and
Wheir effective remedies.

Appointed Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue Carries Salary Of &c.
600 Per Year but Appoint
ment is Temporary. 4.
McGhee in The State.

zach McGhee in The State. \.
Warrington, June 4.-Capt. John
G, !, HCapers was today appointed com
missioner of internal revenue of the
United States. The appointment is
only q temporary one, to last until
next December, when Mr.. Pearl
Wight of Louisiana will take charge.
3.i5 The appointement is clear indi-
cation of Mr.. Capers' high standing
with the administration, in spite of
I. the fact that he was not reappoint-
ed district attorney for South Caro-
lima; in fact, it comes straight from
# the 'inner circles" that the digni-
fed bearing Of Capt. Capers OH the
II occasion of his rundown as district
attorney and the spirit in which he
a took it caused a reaction in the ad-
ADMINISTRATION in favor of him.
j "The more we have looked into
! Mr.. Capers' record and his charac-
ter,'' said al official today, "the
more favorably has he impressed u.s..
He did not in any way seek this
position and the appointment comes
to him as surprise. It was neces-
sary to have a man who was thor
oughly familiar with legal matters
in the administration Of the govern
ment as well as man Of high char
acter and we believe Mr.. Capers to
be both. He is good lawyer, a
man Of energy and of unquestioned
/ integrity of character"
n Capt. Capers is practicing law in
Washington and some time ago an
nounced to The State correspondent
that he had retired from politics for
good. He says now that he is will
ing to take this position only for the
reason that it is temporary.
1t must be borne in mind that the
real man who appoints Capt. Cap
ers to this office is George Bruce
Cortelyou, secretary Of the treas
ury. That Mr.. Cortelyou is a candi-
date for the presidency has never
been automatically denied and that
Capt. Capers could be Of considera-
bic service, and will be, towards lin
ing up delegates for Mr.. Cortelyou,
has never been disbclievcd by the
aforesaid candidate. Yet there is nd
: evidence to show that this appoint
ment has any such political signii-
cance.
Capt. Capers will keep his law Of
fee open in Washington, but for con-
\ venience, he will remove his place IF
business to building closer to the,
q treasury, where the commissioners
loffice is located He says that he
Fexpects to give his full time to the
duties of the office of commissioner.
He knew nothing about his appoint
mcnt till he saw it in the afternoon
papers. The salary Of the office is
$4,000 year.

WON'T STAND The CUT.
Grain Men Object to Deduction on
Wheat Sold.

Suits are to be filed in Wyandotte
county as soon as papers can be pre-
pared against a dozen of the big grain
elevators located in Kansas City, Kan,
to put a stop to the long established
custom of "deducting' 100 pounds
from the net weight of each carload of
wheat for the benefit of the grain buy
ers on the board of trade.
This custom of deducting 100 pounds
from each carload was adopted by the
board of trade buyers on the ground
that each carload of wheat contains a
certain amount of dirt and chaff. and
the 100 pound cut is the make up for
the loss on dirt and chaff. The farmers
who ship the wheat. however. insist
that the deduction is a plain and I'M
vanished steal.
Each 100 pound cut means about
$40 at prevailing grain prices In
the course of a year this amounts. in
the Kansas City grain market. to close
to $4,000, which, it is claimed, is
enough to pay all the running ex-
penses of the elevators.
j. M. Meek, assistant county attorney
of Wyandotte county. and E. B.
Smiley, secretary of the Kansas Grain
Dealers association, were both in con-
sultation with Attorney General F. S.
jackson today in regard to the matter,
and as a result of this conference, the
plan of action was decided upon. Mr.
Jackson stated that the matter had
been left to the county attorney of

of which I am secretary is not in any
way connected with the filing of these
suits. They will be brought by the

j. M. Meek, the assistant county at
torney. said: sThe state law makes it
disdemeanor to make deductions such
as the grain men on the board of trade
have been making through the eleva-
tors. We expect to bring suits against
the elevator men doing business in
Kansas City, Kan. The difficulty ia
enforcing this law is the fact that the
grain buyers all insist that they are

BELL BREAKS DOWN.
Head of The Army Is Compelled to go
to Muldoon.

Washington, Oct. Is. - Gen. J.
Head of the Army Is Compelled to Go
broken down physically and is now at
Muldoon's for his shattered nerves, is
a victim of overwork and of a bitter
contest over rank waged between
himself and Gen. Ainsworth, the adju-
tant-genera1.
Since the appointment of Gen. Bell
as Chief of Staff there has been a
clash, notwithstanding both officers re-
peatedly and emphatically have de-
MED any friction.
There is no ilI-feeling between the
two generals personally. The troub1s
is purely official, and is caused by the
anomalous condition created by the
law establishing the General Staff
without giving the Chief of Staff SUI
perior rank and supreme command.
Gen. Bell is supposed to be the
military head of the army, but his
rank is that of brigadier-general,
while. Gen. Ainsworth is a major-gen-
eraf and is the senior officer of Gen.
Bell 1t is the duty of Gen. Bell to is
sue Instructions to the army, and it
has been the custom for many years
for the acknowledgement to counter
sign these orders.

TAFT PLEADS GUILTY.
''Ihe Land Man" Must Go to Jail for
40 Days.

Leavenworth, Oct 15.-David P.
Taft OF Topeka, who advertised him
self as 1.-THE Land Man. pleaded gull
ty to an indictment returned against
him for using the mails to defraud
and has been sentenced to pay a fine
of $500, the costs in the case and to
serve sentence of ten days in the
Wyandotte county Jail.
Taft was associated with the A. P.
Tone Wilson, who was finally disbarr-
ed from practising law in Shawnee
county. Wilson started a real estate
business founded on a scheme of
charging a. ten dollar fee for listing
the property. He advertised widely
but very seldom sales were recorded
of the property belonging to the party
paying the listing fee Wilson finally
left Topeka and Taft was generally
recognized as being a successor of
Wilson.
Taft stated that he was unable to
pay the fine and that he had to mort
gage his private office fixtures to get
money to live on. He will serve 80
days additional in lieu of the fine. He
made no defense.
The katy railroad was assessed
g fine of $3.50 for violation of the
% hour law. This is the first fine to
be assessed against this railroad for
an infraction of this law.

DOCTOR THE ITCH WHERE THE
ITCH is.
Don't Dose the Stomach to Cure
Eczema and Other Skin Diseases

Those afflicted with Eczema, psoriasis
salt rheum. or other skin diseases of a
similar nature, should never dose the
stomach to rid themselves of the terri
BILE itch. They should doctor the itch
where the itch is-cure the skin through
the skin, not through the stomach.
Eczema and other diseases of kind
red kind are skin diseases-not blood
diseases. Science has shown that Ec-
zema is caused by germs In the skin.
and that the disease can be eradicated
only by killing the germs.
DR.. Decatur d. Dennis was one Of
the first physicians to follow out the
germ theory in skin diseases. Then he
discovered that by mixing oil of winter
green with other soothing agents he
had liquid prescription which killed
the germs and cured the awful itch
leaving the skin white and smooth.
Since that time this D. D. D. Prescrip-
ton has been the standard remedy for
skin diseases, just as D. D. d. soap is
the standard high grade skin soap.
The first few drops of d. D. D. give
instant relief from the terrible itch and
from the frightfu1 burning of the dis
eased skin. So reliable is this D. D. d.
remedy that hundreds of physicians
prescribe it, 1t is wash thin as
water and as mild and pure which
is applied to the diseased portion of
the skin.
Mrs. Frances Richmond of Milton.
Trimble county, kentucky, writes:
MY little girls fingers We're sore al
most to the bone from Eczema. 1 used
part of the sample bottle of d. D. d.
Prescription received from you and now
they are well. 1t is a wonderful skin
remedy
We carefully investigated this D. d
D. Prescription before recommending
it to our neighbors and patrons. and
after a long experience we are more
thar ever convinced of its wonderful
merits :

our store anyway and we will show you
how this d. D. D. Prescription gives
