"CUTICURA REMEDIES
ARE UNEXCELLED"

about a year ago I was sufferer
from skin, scalp, and blood humors.
For four months 1 used various RENE
dies prescribed to me for their treat
ment, but they gave only temporary
relief and then the distressing blood
humors were back as usual. / finally
lost all hopes Of getting cured of this
ailment. But a friend induced me to
give the Cuticura Remedies fair trial.
He had been troubled with the same
disease and said he had been perma-
nently cured by Cuticura. So got the
whole treatment, consisting Of Cuticura
Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura

III. G. Bowman Doesn't Approve
of County Asylum.
Thinks That Shawnee Commits
siOners Are Making Mistake.
PUT THEM ON A FARM.
Those Refused at State Institu-
tiOns the Old and Feeble.
Confinement Not the Right
System for Them.

H. c. Bowman, member OF the state
board of control of charitable institu-
tions. is opposed to the plan proposed
by Shawnee county for the erection OF
q county insane asylum
II don't believe in the county
asylum SYSTEM" said Mr.. Bowman,
land am sorry to see Shawnee coun-
~ establish the system.
''Of course I realize that there are
conditions which must be met, but
do not think the county asylum is the
best way to meet them. The state Is
able to provide accommodations for
all violent or dangerous insane cases.
All we ask of the counties is that they
take care of the harmless incurables,
the cases of senility, which means
merely the weakening of age, and 9TH
er harmless cases. Such cases, how
ever, should not be cared for in an
asylum. 1t isn't the proper place for
them. They should be placed on a
farm, where they can get out and
work close to nature, under the di-
rection of some well qualified super
fntendent.
II believe that it is all right for
Shawnee county, and every other large
county in the state, to have a tenn
porary reception hospital for insane
cases. 1t isn't right to shut maniacs
up in the county jail while they are
being tried for their sanity and wait
ing for the order admitting them to
place of detention for such, cases in
the larger counties, where there are
numerous insanity cases.
"Of course our state hospitals for
the insane are greatly overcrowded.
Today's reports from the Topeka and
Osawatom aSylums shows that To-
peka Is eight above its listed ca
pacity now, while Osawatomie has two
vacant beds with two applications ac-
cepted. There are two great reasons
why the state hospitals are over
crowded. They are these:
First the fee system, which en-
courages sherifs to hunt up weak
minded cases, and have them sent to
the asylums.
Second. because the state pays for
the cost of maintaining the state in
situations by state tax, instead of by
county tax.
"It would be a better plan it seems
to me to have 1t arranged so that
each county should pay its per capita
proportion for all patients II has in
the state hospitals. This would make
each county responsible for its own
patients. and would not increase the
total cost in the least. Every quarter,
the state auditor could report to the
county the exact amount due from 1t
for care of patients. The county com
missioners would then remit to the
state. and settle the account.
There is not a single state in the
union which has satisfactorily solved
the problem of what to do with pa
tients after their release from the hos
pitfalls. Many of these patients. while
they are perfectly sane, are unable to
battle with the world, and need to
have somebody look after their af-
fairs. If they are obliged to go back
into the struggle for existence, with
fits worries and troubles, they will re-
vert to insanity. We should have
farms where such people might go
and live at the expense of the state,

BISHOP VINCENT OBJECTS.
The Venerable Methodist Opposed to
Present Day Revivals.

| CoHeyville, Kan. July 23.-In hi:
Chautauqua address here Bishop Johr
II. Vincent of the Methodist Episcopa
| church attacked the evangelistic sys-
| tenn OF revivalS now used in most OF
the churches of his denomination. He
believes that revivals produce only
| temporary good and that on account
OF the sensational methods used in sc
many of them the bad effect more
than Offsets the good.
~ The venerable bishop expressed
himself as standing for genuine evan
gelistic effort under discreet direc-
ton, but protests with emphasis
against all sensational and Spasmodic
efforts to create an Unbalanced emo
tOnaliSm and mere temporary devices
for exciting enthusiasm He went on
to say that he stands for 365 days in a
year of earnest religious endeavor He
gave as his motto 1865 holy working
days every year" Continuing, Bishop
Vincent said:
THE week day power of the church
lies in the continuance through the
week of the impulses and high mo-
tives of Sunday instructions, dreams
and visions. 1t expresses itself in con-
sistent everyday life in home teach
fiuence; in business honesty and fideI-
ity; in an enterprising, thoughtful, in
spring prayer meeting; in pastoral
fidelity and visits of mercy; and in So
claI good Will by the private mem berS
of the church; in special classes for
Biblical instruction and church train
ing conducted by the pastor. in lee
lures scientific and literary; in biog-
raphical studies in course of home
reading--all of which, under the direc-
ton of the church, will make the
church a week day power in the COM
munity.
Religion to be a power must
touch, influence and control the entire
field of life, secular and religious. 1t
is more than a Sunday function. Every
day is a holy day. The church must
learn that there are 365 days every
year; S65 working days; 365 holy
days; 365 holy working days. 1t is
only by f1fty-two actual Sundays of
restful worship that we can truly
keep 365 holy days a year in Gods
service"
The bishop also pleaded with the
ministers ITO stop sensational meth
ods' in revival meetings and depre-
Gated the practice of having what are
general known as Testimony meet
ings' in revival services. He expressed
the belief that people are interested
more in the word of God itself thar
in personal narratives concerning it
His address created quite a sensa ton
among the ministers at the Chautau-
qua grounds.

BRYAr's CHANCES HAVE WAIVED.

William j. Bryan stands ready to ac-
cept the Democratic nomination for
President. and will have a platform
to present for the party's acceptance.
A twice-defeated candidate, he has
read the story of Robert Bruce, and
he is going to try again, the party
willing. But more than the personal
fortunes of any single man is involved
in a Presidential candidacy. Mr..
Bryan, by his speech in the Chicago
convention In 1896, made the silver is
sue and forced his nomination and
wrecked his party. Again, in 1900. he
raised the silver standard for his party
and led 1t to a disastrous defeat. 1t is
claimed that in the Presidential cleo
ton in 1904 Mr.. Bryan contributed to
the defeat of Judge Parker.
Parties and men do not relish re-
peated defeats. A general who has
never won a victory cannot expect to
retain the confidence of an army. I'm
successful leaders lose popularity. Mr..
Bryan is a man of earnest character
and winning personality, and he is a
brilliant c~ampaigner, but he has lost
much of that prestige that once was
his, and the mistakes he has made have
chilled the ardor Of many leading
Democrats who a year ago were dis
posed to throw all their influence for
his nomination.
Last year hen Mr.. Bryan was en-
barking from Europe for home II
seemed settled that he would be the
Democratic nominee in 1908, but the
trend of party sentiment since he
landed in New York has been away
from Mr.. Bryan, and his nomination
now is doubtful. The South, which
was once his stronghold, has become
indifferent, and his W State Of
Nebraska went strongly Republican ir
the last election, although 1t was
stumped from end to end by Mr.
Bryan. His great strength at present
lies in the lack of another man who
meets the requirements of a candidate
but in a great emergency the man IL
always found.

There will be lively times in the
German Reichstag after that body
convenes in session next Thursday.
Chancellor Won Buelow counts upon a
good majority for government pro-
posals, which include an ambitious
military and naval program and the
colonial budget, on which the last
Reichstag went to pieces. Recently
there came up the great scandal of the
court camarilla, which has stirred up
SO much feeling throughout Germany,
and when the budget for the army is
brought forward the Socialist assault
will be made In earnest.
There will be plain language used in
the Reichstag. as, indeed, the incident
calls for. The morality of the German
nation is sound to the core. That is
the nation's backbone. To such a peo-
pie the revelations made in the late
trial at Berlin, showing the shocking
morals of men high in rank and au-
thority and close to the person of the
monarch. who typihes all the domestic
virtues. have been appalling. Socialism
has been given a tremendous weapon,
and it will be welded with effect in
the Reichstag this winter.
