accustomed to it, I would scratch the
sores until the blood began to flow.
This would stop the itching for few
days; but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accompany
them. After suffered about ten years

The eruptions by this time had appeared
on every part Of my body. except my
face and hands. The best doctor in my
native county advised me to use arsenic
in small doses and salve. l then used
to battle the sores in mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In addi-
ton I used other remedies, such as iodine,
sulphur, zinc salve, --'s Salve,
Ointment, and in fact I was con-
tinually giving some remedy a fair trial.
never Using less than one or two boxes or
bottles. All this was fruitless. Finally
myhair began to fall out and was rapidly
becoming bald. I used --'s -,
but it did no good. A few months after,
having used almost everything else,
thought l would try Cuticura Ointment,
having previously used Cuticura Soap
and being pleased with it. After using
three boxes l was completely cured,
and my hair was restored, after fourteen
years of suffering and an expenditure Of
at least $50 to $50 in vainly endeavoring
to find cure. shall be glad to write

Correspondence of The Journal


Correspondence of The Journal
There is positive economy in the pre-
valent use of sheer materials for even
ing wear, as they will (if well-made) be
fashionable next summer, provided no
radical changes take place. Then, too,
many thin fabrics are so reasonable in
price, commencing at so cents, although
really good quality net is $1.OO per
yard. Brussels net is a good invest
ment, either white, black or colored,
the skirt trimmed with ruffles of the
same, put on in points or scallops, the
waist round and full, with or without a
bertha. Satin ribbon in graduated
widths is a simple and inexpensive
trimming.
RIBBON TRIMMINGS.
Ribbons are used to an unlimited ex-
tent, made into imitation roses, violets,
and other flowers, usually with hang
ing ends when used on bertha or over
the shoulders of an evening dress.
They are also valuable aid in concoc-
ting fancy jumper waists, bretelles, or
Etons, and not unfrequently entire
gowns are of lace and ribbon. Some
writers call the jumper an cover
blouse" which is to some extent cor
rect as it requires two waists to make
up the jumper. Beyond a doubt this
will be the leading style for spring,
therefore time and material now ex-
pended will not be thrown away.
GossAMER sCARFs.
Fancy work was never more produc-
tive of artistic results. Embroidery,
braiding, chainstitching, or applique
work are all represented on scarfs for
evening wear, either at parties, the
theatre. or home wear They are of
chiffon, lace or Brussels net, sometimes
with combination of very fine drawn
work. Any skillful needle-woman can
make a handsome one at home with
comparatively little expense. They
should be about three yards long, and
eighteen inches wide Fancy white
silk braid, put on in pattern on Brus
sells net, makes very pretty scarf.
VARIED POSSIBILITIES.
Braiding in gilt on chiffon is easily
done, or chiffon appliques in exquisite
colorings may be had by the yard, and
taken apart, and tastefully grouped at
the end of chiffon scarf, is the "toI
notch" of style. Real lace is of course

substitute for the genuine article. and
plated silk edged by fur with lace be,
neath) is also in vogue.
FURS.
Fur is now SO generally worn that no
woman feels that her dress is complete
without handsome set or at least
some fur trimming. Sable makes a
handsome edge, chinchilla sets off
gowns of neutral tints, and broadtail
braided with soutache and gold threads.

not only from the severity of the win
ter, but c. G. Shayne's January reduc-
tions enables one to purchase at great
advantage, particularly as the RELIABLE
ity of this house is beyond all question.
+ FANS AND JEwELRY.
Fans of all sizes and texture, the EN-
pire fan keeping pace with the Empire
styles in gowns or wraps. Some fans
are merely spangled, others are ornate
and costly. Lace fans (medium-sized)
with mother-of-pearl sticks are pre-
eminent, next comes the lace border.
with hand painted figures below.
Others show figures and spangles on
chiffon in great variety. Ostrich feather
fans are not very large, which of course
reduces their cost.
NECKLACES.
The rage for ow-necked dresses nat
urally brings the necklace into special
prominence. Besides the dog-collar,
which is an essential to those no longer
young, beautiful necklaces are a net of
gold wires with pendants of variously
coiored stones, several different ones be-
ing put together. A particularly fine
necklace had precious stone at each
intersection of the wires.

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.

While third assistant postmaster gen.
eral Madden is trying to tax the country
newspaper out of existence, the country
editor is receiving bouquets from many
directions. 1t is said that he was never
so influential as he is today, never occu-
pied so impregnable position in the
affections of his constituents, and that
his conditions are such as to excite the
envy of the toilers in daily journalism.
From a paper read before the North
western Press Association in St. Joseph,
Mo-, we quote as follows: ''The weekly
newspaper is today the browning tri-
umph of journalism, the defender of
home and good name, the bulwark of
honest politics and the guardian of the
constitution" In the January number
of The Atlantic Mont hly Charles M.
Harger discusses the country editor, his
mission, his opportunities, his influence
and his standing in the community
and abroad. He says: mo one man in
the community has so large an oppor-
tunity to assist the town In advance
ment as the editor. 1t is not because
he is smarter than others, not because
he is wealthy-but because he is the
spokesman" He quotes Middle West
Congressman as saying last winter:
The power Of the country press in
Washington surprises me. During my
two terms / have been impressed with
it constantly. l doubt if there is a
single calm utterance in any paper in
the United States that does not carry
some weight in Washington among the
members of Congress. You might think
that what some little country editor
says does not amount to anything, but
it means great deal more than most
people realize. When the country edi
tor, who is looking after nothing but
the county printing, gives expression
to some rational idea about a nationa
question, the man off here in Congress
knows. that it comes from the grass
roots. The lobby, the big railroad law

making searches and seizures and Sc

naught. It is notification where it

The past 10 days they have shipped over

yerS, and that class of people, realize
the power of the press, but they hate
it. I have heard them talk about 1t
and shake their heads and say, Too
much power there.' The press is more
powerful than money!
Mr.. Harger explains that this was
not said in fattery, but because he had
seen on Congressmen's desks the heaps
of country weekIies and he knew how
closely they were read, and adds: $50
the country editor often exerts a power
of which he knows little"
The country editor has his troubles
of course and one of them is thus il
Illustrated by Mr.. Harger:
81 wish you would print piece about
our school teacher" said a farmers
wife to me one afternoon. Say that
she is the best teacher in the county,.
"But | can't do that-two hundred
other teachers would be angry. You
write the piece, sign it, and I'll print
it."
''What are you running newspaper
for if you can't please your subscrib-
eIs?" she demanded-and Cancelled her
subscription.
This recalls an incident of many
years ago when VIM. H. Simpson was
editor of The Journal and the writer
visitor in bis office. A man called and
preferred a serious complaint against
another citizen, for liquor selling or
some other violation of law, and want
ed him shown up in the newspaper.
After listening to the story MI. Simp-
son said, call right, make the state
ment and sign your name to it and I'll
publish it." This took the complain
ant all aback. "Why," he said, "he is
a neighbor of mine and it would never
do" Then Mr. Simpsons told the man
what he thought of him. Those famil-
lar with the writings of the late editor
of The Journal will readily concede that
he welded keen and forcible pen; but
orally he commanded an even mole
formidable vocabulary and on this oc-
casion he metaphorically mopped the
floor with the fellow that tried to use
him as the monkey did the cat.
Whether things are coming the coun-
try editors way as Mr.. Harger and
other friendly critics say we do not feel
competent to decide; but we realize one
growing change for the better. The
country newspaper is coming to te
recognized as business proposition,
not an object Of charity. Its advertis-
ing, columns, but not its opinions, are
for sale. Time was when subscribers
to country newspaper thought they
were entitled to use its columns to any
extent, to ventilate their grievances or
advertise their business. Now it is
generally recognized that years sub
scription entities one only to 50 issues
of weekly newspaper; and that when
advertising is wanted it must be paid
for. Many newspapers exact pay for
advertising church entertainments or
entertainments for benevolent pur
poses-all affairs, in fact, in which an
admission fee is charged-While other
papers regard this as their contribu-
tions to the cause, and for which they
should have, but rarely receive, due
credit.
