SKIN TORTURES

Obstinate Case of Eczema Covered
Little Girls Limbs with Running
Sores Poison Oak Made Boys
Hands and Arms a Mass of Tor
turing Sores Sufferers Soon Re-
Iieved and Completely Cured
Grateful Mother Says
"CUTICURA REMEDIES A
HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent physi-
clan for an obstinate case Of eczema,
i resortcd TO the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the almost
instantaneous relief afforded that we
discarded the physicians prescription
and relied.cntiroly ON the Cuticura Soap,
CutiCura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills.
When we commenced with the Cuti-
Cura Remedies her feet and limbs were
covered with running sores. In about
six weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence Of
the trouble.
In July Of this year little boy i'm
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and i'm twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were a mass
Of tOrturing sores. We used only tho
CutiCura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the CutiCura Soap, and
amounting them with the Cuticura Oint-
ment and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up. So we have
lots Of cause for feeling grateful for the
CutiCura Remedies. We find that the
CutiCura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do

The Passing Of powie

marks the passing of one OF
the religious fakes with
which history has been
crowded,-an exploded at

curiously mixed with up-to-
date commercialism. Dowie
was not an old man,
hlving been born in lS47,
in Edinburgh, Scotland.
At the age of twenty-five,
Dowie graduated from a
theological school in Edin-
burgh, and after six years
service in the ministry went
out to Melbourne, Australia.
There he founded an indie
pendent ChurCn and began
his career as n faith curist.
In 1888 he came to America

years ago began his work i'm

arrested for exercising his
faith-cures, these being i'm

nances relating to the care
care of the sick, but each
successive arrest advertised
his business all the more. In
a short time he was able to
erect hospitals, and later, to
take over 5000 acres of land
near the city, where he placed
his followers, who steadily
increased in number as the
years went by.

mans greed, Dowie appealed
TO his faith, with the identi-
cal result of transferring the
money of the converts from
their pockets into his own.
Zion City was paid for by
Dowie's followers, but the
title to all the property re-
mained in John Alexander,
who also retained all lghts
TO spend the income OF Zion
City according to his apos-
tolic will. Last year "Eliiah
the Restorer" prepared TO
found another Zion in MeNi-
co, but operations were sus-
pended by bad news from
Zion No. 1. An investiga-
tion of the Apostles busi-
ness methods revealed gross
mismanagement and mis-
appropriation OF funds.
Dowie was at the time re-
covering from n paralytic
stroke and had been to
jamaica for his health. He
returned to Zion City to find
his power taken from him
and to face certain allega-
tions of immortality. a SEN
sational trial in the Chicago
courts followed, but DOwie
never recovered his hold.
One of the most interest
ing things to the philosphic
reader of history is the i'll
huence of faith in the current
of mans life. From time to
time new religions crop out,
and none too outlandish or
unreasonable to obtain a
following. Sixty years ago,
Joseph Smith discovered the
mystic plates in the earth
near Utica, New York, and
translated them with the
help of an angel, giving
rise to mormOnism. Later
comes John Alexander Dowie,
and by prayer and the lay
ing on of hands, heals hypo-
chondriacs and promotes
Zion City. These two insti-
tutions are purely CONNER
cial enterprises built upon
the faith OF the deluded con
verts.
Man Is g religious animal
and if he can find no religion
to suit, his ideas will make
one. His progress is a re-
cord of exploded religions,
OF which the libraries only
preserve the record of the
greatest number. The pas
sing OF Dowie, leaving only
n lace factory as the monu-
ment of Dowieism, reminds
us of that saying of CANA
liel of Old, "Brethren, if thi,
work be of men it will come
to naught."

was caught trying to sell this pipe,
which weighs about so pounds, at a
junk shop several weeks ago. The
pipe had evidently been chopped out
of bath room or kitchen. and Baker
was caught with the goods on him. If
it could be proven that he stole the
lead pipe from a dwelling. as is evil
dent by the circumstances. he could
be turned over to the county authorf-
ties and the police would be rid of
him for a while. Therefore, any per-
son missing about four yards of lead
pipe from their dwelling within the
past six weeks Will be doing the police
a great favor by proving ownership of
the lead pipe at the police station.
Only one arrest for driving on the
left side has been made during the
past "a hours. The police are not
only letting up on the popular sport
but the "pee-pul' are becoming wary,
and do not drive on the left side when
a policeman is around. This is quite
a back-up from the performance in
the early part of the week, when the
arrests averaged about 100 per day.
The past day recorded but three ar
rests-two plain DRINKS and the above
mentioned "left sider."

While the committee was out of the

had observed the operation of the COM
mission system in Texas: II have heard
of this commission system and have
seen something in the papers about 1t, .
said he. Il have seen it in opera ton
at Washington long before it was in
adoption in Galveston. 1t should be

er there would be any improvement
over the character of the men that we
have now to serve us and 1 question
whittier there would be very much more
economy. but there is an opportunity
for a higher grade of efficiency of ad-
ministration. There are three things
which will be asked by the people and
you will have to be prepared to meet
them. The questions which they will
ask will be with reference to the Off
GERS, economy in expense of administra-
ton and efficiency of administration"
Judge c. E. Foote said: My opinion
is that it could not be any worse than
what we have got" Foote roasted the
way the streets were maintained in the
city, and said that he doubted if there
was another city Of equal size that had
dirtier streets than Topeka. He claim
ed that the men of the street force SOL

equivalent amount of work that they
would do if employed by a corporation.
