CUTICURA PROVED ITS
WONDERFUL EFFICACY

"I am now eighty years old and one

with a hard pain in my right side. In
two days l had an attack Of piles
(hemorrhoids), bleeding and p%rotruding:
The doctor gave me some medicine, and
some but l had to keep using them all
the time. Then l changed to the P
remedy; but if l did not use it every
day, l would get worse. The doctor
said the only help for me was to go to
a hospital and be operated on. AT
this time. about a year ago. l Went to
using the S. remedies. | tried them
for four or five months but did not get
much help for my piles. During this

another would come. These sores
changed to eczema, accompanied by
q terrible itching. 1t seemed as II l
could not keep my hands from tearing
my flesh. This and the pile trouble
brought on an inf1amed condltlon:
Then l got the Cuticura Remedies. l
washed the affected parts with Cuticura
Soap and warm water in the morning,
at noon, and at night. then used Cuti-
cl,ra Ointment on the irritated sur

In Defense Of

Betting. By '' >": $:: r: :;! s::'::

SION OF TROUBLE OR MORAL INJURY TO MEN CONNECTED WITH
IT THAT IS NOT A CONTINGENCY WHICH SHOULD CONTROL OUR
ATTITUDE IN THE MATTER.
There has ALWAYS been betting on horse races and always will
be. So far a the race track is concerned, it seems better that wagers
should be laid in the open than otherwise. If a mar is apt to forget
himself in liquor it seems best to keep him in the open street. He
will be less apt to forget himself there than in private. A MAN HAS
HIS OPINION UPON A RACE, AND HE IS DISPOSED TO
BACK IT WITH HIS MONEY. T..
But in my view only a small percentage of people who attend races
do bet to any visible extent. | should say NOT MORE THAN 10
PER CENT BET, and the remainder of the persons who attend have
some right to be considered. til said that l never bet. l will not say
that. | have made bets, but | do not care about it. That instinct has
been left out of my head for some reason. l do not place my abst-
nence o any other ground. Besides, my position a a racing manager
makes it expedient that l should not be a bettor. Cases are liable to
be called before me, and if l were a bettor it might influence my de-
csion. 1t is IS necessary that A MAN SHOULD NOT LEAN
TOO FAR BACKWAR as that he should not incline in the other
direction. The thing for him is to be upright.

ALWAYS BEEN THERE AND WHICH ON MOST ACCOUNTS IT
WOULD BE A GREAT MISFORTUNE TO BE WITHOUT. THIS WOULD
BE A VERY TIREsoME WORLD IF THE QUALITY IN Us WHICH
MAY SHOW ITSELF IN MAKING BETS UPON OCCASION WERE
LEFT OUT OF US ENTIRELY.

SOciety's Thirst For Pleasure.

BY Father BERNARD VAUGHAN English Prenhe.
UR god is mammon. WE PRAISE, REVERENCE AND
WORSHIP WEALTH; hence the rush for quick returns,
for dividends, for ready money. Men and women alike
admit that they measure happiness by wealth, and by wealth
they measure responsibility. And so down some Of them drop IN
PHOSPHATE ADMlRATION BEFORE THE GOLDEN CALF,
to which they are prepared to offer any sacrifice, provided only the
obation will secure for them an immediate return of gold.
WHAT is THE EXPLANATION OF THIS RUSH FOR THE FLASH
OF GOLD? DO PEOPLE WORSHIP WEALTH FOR ITS OWN SAKE

Ryan and Rockefeller, Jr., .Done" by

New York, Dec. 24.-That Thomas
Fortune Ryan, though an equal part.
ner, Is only King Leopolds catspaw in
the Congo, is asserted In signed ar.
ticle in the American.
It IS true" says the American.
that Ryan, with young Rockefeller
and others, holds concession of i'm
menss value. But he does not con-
troll it.
When Leopold failed to draw Ital-
Ian capital and labor to. Africa he
looked to Wall street as his only sal
vation. Il don't know how much money
the Ryan crowd gave, but it was an
enormous amount. ! do know, how
ever, that with the money the old king
began purchasing more shares. He
had his agent md out just how much
stock he would need to have an equal
interest with the Ryan crowd. Then
he acquired all the shares he needed.
His next move was to force them
into an agreement that for every
American or European employed by
Ryan there must be q Belxian en-
ployed BY the king. He then had the
advantage Of Ryan In every possible
way.
Not only did the king insure fat
proht to himself from the American
syndicate, but he fixed himself so he
appears only as a shareholder in the
syndicate. The territory he gave over
to Ryan can not be interfered with by
Belgium or any other nation: it has
the protection of the stars and
stripes"

Mrs. Cooke is at present in New

not institute divorce suit, preferring
to cause her husband to suffer the
shame attendant upon his actions
rather than to give him his freedom.
Although the gossips have it that
the girl is near Hampstead, no one at
tempts to fathom the mystery of where
the unfrocked, disgraced clergyman is.
There are rumors, however, that Cooke
has been found by the authorities, and
that the latter are biding their time
before taking him back to Hempsted.

Planting Strawberries.

After plowing land deeply for the
fall planting of strawberries encourage
the termination of weed seeds by fre-
quent cultivation so far as possible to
get rid of the trouble of weeds getting
ahead of the plants after they are set
out. Use barnyard manure freely if
the same can be had free from weed
seeds, advises Southern Planter. In
order to insure this it should have
heated well and be partially rotted.
This may be supplemented with an ap-
plication Of good fertilizer rich in
phosphoric acid and potash, say 300 to
400 pounds Of acid phosphate and 200
pounds of muriate of potash per acre.
The rows may be laid off three feet
