CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year. after having my little
girl treated by very prominent ply.
stefan for an obstinate case of eczema,
l resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the al
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physicians prescrip-
ton and relied entirely on the Cuti-
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Gu
ticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura 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 a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak. and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were a
mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, and in
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas.

PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN.
The Public Should Have Them Trans
lated by the Druggists.

What virtue is there in the secrecy
with which the doctor hedges about
his profession?
Professional etiquette" occupies a
prominent place in the curriculum OF
every medical school, and when strict
ly analysed professional etiquette
seems to mean doing what is best for
the doctor, individually and col
lectively."
Among the things that sis best for
the doctor" is the writing of his pre-
scriptions in Latin, and thus keeping
the public in ignorance not only OF
what it is taking for its ills. but fore
ing call upon the doctor each time
a prescription is needed.
In plain and unmistakable English
the writing of prescriptions in Latin
makes business for the doctors.
Let us say that you have the ague
You had 1t last year and the year be-
fore. Each time you have visited the
doctor and he has prescribed for you
in Latin. You have never known
what he has given you for the disease,
and SO each time you are forced to go
to him again and give him an oppor'
tunity to repeat his prescription-in
Latin, and his fee-in dollars.
II you ask the doctor why he uses
Latin in writing his prescriptions. why
he writes aqua" when he means wa
ter, he will give you a technical dis
sertation on the purity OF the Latin
language. and the fact that all words
tn will hp a
dissertation that you may not be able
to answer. but 1t will hardly convince
you.
1t would be a good thing for the pub
lie to devise little code of ethics OF
its own; ethics that will be "a good
thing for the public individually ant
collectively"
Let us apply one OF the rules of this
code of ethics to you. the individual.
You call in the physician when you
have the ague, the grippe, or any Of
the other ills to which human flesh is
heir, and which you may have again

PLOT TO KILL sALLooNIsT.
Parachute Jumper Is Carried In Mid
Air With Death as Companion.

Denver.-Wayne Abbott, the native
son, who as drum major in General
George w. Cooks famous drum corps
and as a sailor in airships and a para
chute jumper. is known from one
American boundary line to the other,
narrowly missed death in horrible
form at the Tuileries.
II seems SO much like an attempt at
murder that an investigation will be
made.
The rope that connects Abbott's
parachute with the balloon proper
passes through small iron ring. Fast
ened to this ring is sharp knife
blade attached to lever. The aero
| naut. on his trapeze twenty feet be-
| low, controls the action of the blade
by cord hanging down from the
, lever and at the proper height pulls
the cord. thereby severing the rope
and starting him earthward with his
parachute.
Abbott, as is his custom. attempted
to cut loose 1000 feet above the earth.
but the releasing mechanism refused
1 TO work because a nail had been placed
! through the iron ring between the rope
| and the knife blade, so that when he
pulled the blade 1t was stopped by the
nail. With no knowledge of the stu
ation-not knowing whether the con-
Meeting rope had been partly severed
and was waiting for lurch of the
balloon to finish the work of release
Abbott could not risk climbing to the
iron ring by way of the folded para
chute; his only course was to retain
his seat on the trapeze and trust to
good fortune to let him land safely
with the balloon. The absence of wind
permitted him to do this.
Had there been a wind the huge bal
loon as soon as emptied of gas would
have turned on its side; the speed of
the descent would have been rapid
enough to kill the aeronaut at the fin
ish but not rapid enough to open the
parachute to land him safely.

Sure To Have One.

Lincoln Steffens, in an address on
municipal politics, said in Chicago OF
a certain city:

notorious for another characteristic.
Here is an incident that will give
you an idea of the reputation of Peb'
bles.

PREMIER AND TWO ARE KILLED
Socialists Believed to Have Planned
the Assassination.

Teheran.-Mirza Ali Asghan Khan,
premier, was shot and killed as he was
| leaving the national council.
Two soldiers were killed at the same
time and an assemblyman was shot in
the leg. One of the assassins commit
ted suicide, one was arrested and the
I others escaped.
1t is believed that the assassination
was planned by the Socialists, who
have their headquarters at Baku, and
whose members, numbering about So
600, have bound themselves to uphold
, the Persian constitution.
The Socialists have collected arms
and ammunition and are possessed of
considerable funds. Through the Per-
sian press they have been carrying on
declaring him to be an enemy of the
constitution.
1t is believed that the effect of the
news of the murder of Mira Ali As
CHAN Khan, added to the interior
troubles, will be disastrous and that
anarchy will gain in strength. Already
the roads are so unsafe that the Ger
man consul. who is going to Bushire,
has asked the government for an es-
cort.
A Russian at Ispian today was
robbed of everything he possessed.
The slain premier had long played
an important part in the affairs of
Persia. Twice he held the Office of
vizier, the last time from August, 1898,
to September, 1903, when he was ex-
lied. This followed closely upon the
sudden death of the Hakim Ell Mulk.
| After living in exile in Europe for
more than three years, Mira All was
recalled early in the present wear by
the shah. Arriving in Enzellie, the
populace. which had been apprised of
his homecoming, endeavored to pre-
vent his landing, so bitter was the
feeling against him. He arrived in
Teheran April 9th and was escorted
to the palace by company of Persian
Cossacks sent by the shah to meet
him. During his exile, Mira Ali WIS.,
