The States Cash.

Quite a large slice was taken out Of
the amount of cash on hand in the treas
ury one day last week, when the sum Of
100000 was paid out to the holders
of notes for the amount borrowed by the
Governor last May. This sum was au-
thorized by chapter SO, laws of 1906,
which provided that the Governor might
borrow during the year 1906, a sum not
exceeding 100000, and the loan was eff
fected during the month of May, 1906,
which was made payable on or before
July l, 1906, and the sum of the amount
paid out today, principal and interest,
amounted to 100000, approximately.
There still remained in the treasury,
after paying out this sum, an amount Of
cash reaching the sum of over $250,000,
added to which there will be payments
by tax collectors during the present
month which will, it is believed, offset
the cash paid out today, and leave a nu-
cleus for the $S33,333.33 for the ap-
preaching school fund distribution, to
which must be added the usual drafts
to meet current expenses of the State
for January. 1t is figured out that it
will require some very close financing to
keep abreast of the demands, which will
come in from month to month, as well
as the practice of economy in the mat
ter of incidentals and contingent ex'
penses. There is still considerable part
of the last authorized bond issue out
standing, and which may be looked to to
piece out the current cash in the treas
ury, but at best the State financiers are
not anticipating a rosy time of it in tho
immediate future.

rhorouoh,y Reliable.

N ever there was reliable and safe
remedy 1t is that old and famous por-
GUS plaster-Allcock's. 1t has been in
use for sixty years, and is as popular
to-day as ever, and we doubt IL there
is a civilized community on the face
of the globe where this wonderful pain
reliever cannot be found. In the selec-
tion of the ingredients and in their
manufacture the greatest care is taken
to keep each plaster up to the highest
standard of excellence. and so pure
and simple are the ingredients that
even a child can use them.
Allcocks are the original and gen.
uine porous plasters and are sold by
Druggists all over the world.

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered with Yellow sores-Grew
Worse-Parents Discouraged-cu-
ticura Drove Sores Away.

"Our little girl, one year and .
half old, was taken with eczema or
that was what the doctor called 1t.
We called in the family doctor, and
he gave some tablets and said she
would be all right in a few days.
The eczema grew worse and we
called in doctor No. 2. He said she
was teething, as soon as the teeth
were through she would be all right.
But she still grew worse. Doctor
No. 8 said it was eczema. By this
time she was nothing but yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, SO we let him try it about
week. One morning we discovered
little yellow pimple on one OF
her eyes. OF course we 'phoned for
doctor No. 3. He came over and
looked her over, and said that he
could not do anything more for
her, that we had better take her
to some eye specialist, since it was
an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to
doctor No. 4, and he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could
help 1t. We thought we would try
doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the
same, only he charged $40 more than
doctor No. T. We were nearly dis
couraged. 1 saw one Of the Cuti-
cura advertisements in the paper and
thought we would try the Cuticura
Treatment, so I went and purchased
a set of Cuticura Remedies, which
cost me 81, and in three days our
daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores had
disappeared. OF course it could not
restore tho eyesight, but If we had
used Cuticura in time I am confident
that it would have saved the eye. We
think there is no remedy SO good for
any skin trouble or impurity Of the
blood as Cuticura. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank

wego Co.. N. Y, August II, 1906"

Senator Spooner of Wisconsin sur.
prised some members of congress with
whom he was chatting the other day
by announcing that he has never taken
part in congressional junket of any
kind. Il never shall undertake such
journey at government expense" he
said. There is something very objec-
tionable to me in members OF congress
going on such expeditions" For the
same reason that made him sidestep
congressional junket Senator
Spooner said he had never been

WHITE BREAD
Makes Trouble for People with Weak
Intestinal Digestion.

A lady in Wis. town employed a
physician who instructed her not to
eat white bread for two years. She
tells the details of her sickness and
she certainly was sick woman.
"In the year 1887 gave out from
overwork, and until 1901 I remained
an invalid in bed a great part OF the
time. Had different doctors but moth
ing seemed to help. I suffered from
cerebro-spinal congestion, female trou-
BILE and serious stomach and bowel
trouble. My husband called new
doctor and after having gone without
any food for 10 days the doctor or
dered Grape-Nuts for me. I could eat
the new food from the very first
mouthful. The doctor kept me on
Grape-Nuts and the only medicine
was a little glycerine to heal the
alimentary canal.
when / was up again doctor told
me to ca. Grape-Nuts twice day and
no white bread for two years. I got
well in good time and have gained in
strength so I can do my own work
again.
"My brain has been helped SO much.
and know that the Grape-Nuts food
did this, too. I found I had been
made Ill because / was not fed right,
that is I did not properly digest white
bread and some other food tried to
live on.
II have never been without Grape
Nuts food since and eat 1t every day.

Jones 8. Hamilton Dead.

Col. Jones S. Hamilton died at jack
son in the 73d year of his age No man
connected with public affairs of Missis-
sippi led more eventful and to a GER
tain extent checkered career than Jones
S. Hamilton. A Mississippian by birth
he lived his life within the borders of
the State. AS lessee OF the State peni-
tentiary for years, he was identified
with many public works, such as levee
building, railroad construction and in
planting, in which at various times he
was largely interested. With his leased
State convicts Col. Hamilton practi-
cally built the Gulf and Ship Island
railroad, or the section between jack
son and Hattiesburg, upon which he is
said to have lost heavily, owing to the
many unforeseen difficulties that pre-.
sented themselves.
