scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies Fruitless-Suf.
fered 10 Years - Completely
Cured by Cuticura,

Small sores appeared on each of
my lower limbs and shortly afterwards
they became so sore that l could
scarcely walk. The sores began to
heal, but small scaly eruptions ap-
peared. The itching was so severe
that l would scratch the sores until the
blood began to flow. After / suffered
thus about ten years l made a renewed
effort to effect a cure. 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 and many remedies gave no
relief. All this was fruitless. Finally
hair began to fall out and / was
rapidly becoming bald. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, l thought / would try Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Soap. After
using three boxes l was completely
cured, and my hail vas restored, after
fourteen years of suffering and an ex-
penditure of at least $50 or $50 in vain

Strenuous Actions Mildly Explained
by the Minister.

Many stories are told Of the &C.
centric doings and sayings Of an
old clergyman who lived in Maine
some years ago. At n time there
had been a fight among some men,
one of whom was seriously hurt. A
trial took place, and the old minister
who had seen the ARRAY was sum
moned as a witness.
What was Salson doing?" was
the first question.
"Oh, he was slashing around"
We'll, sir, just what do you mean
by that?"
why, he was knocking about him
here and there"
Now, sir, kindly tell us plain
~ what Salson did to this man."
why, he-he enticed him." said
the old minister slowly. HE enticed
him with a crowbar. He used the
crowbar to persuade the man-to en-
tice him; and by a series of pokes
and blows he succeeded in doing it."

A Square Deal.

A certain peasant supplied q baker
with three pounds of butter daily, and
after some time the baker noticed
that the butter never weighed three
pounds. At last he summoned him.
Have you no scales at homer" the
judge asked. YES" said the peasant.
Have you weights?" Yes, but I
never weigh butter with them"
"Why?" Because. since the baker
buys my butter, i buy his bread, and
as I always buy three pounds at a
time, I weigh the butter with the
bread" He was acquitted.-Siarcz.

BAD BLOOD,
THETSOURCE OF,ALLDISEASEt

Every part OF the body is dependent on the blood for nourishnent and
strength. When this life stream is flowing through the system in a state OF
purity and richness we are assured of perfect and uninterrupted health:
tecause pure blood Is natures safeguard against disease. When, however,
the body IS fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, the syAem is deprived OF
its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in various
ways. Pustular erupions, pimpls, rashes and the different skin affections
show that the blood is In a feverish and diseased conaliou as a result Of too
much acid or the presence of some irritating humcr. Sores and Ulcers are
the result Of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Ca:
tarrh, Scrofu1a, Contagious Blood Poison, etc, are all deep-seated blood
disorders that will continue to grow worse ; long as the poison remains.
Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, and torpid state of tho
form uric and other acids, which are taken up by the blood and distributed
throughout the circulation. Coming in contact with contagious diseases Is
another cause for the poisoning of the blood; we also breathe the germs and
microbes OF Malaria into u lungs, and when these get into the blood In
sufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Some
are SO unfortunate as to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old
constitutional disease OF ancestors is handed down to them and they arc
constantly annoyed and troubled with it. Bad blood is the source of all dis
ease, and until this vital fluid is c1eansed and purified the body is sure to
suffer in some way. For blood troubles of any character S. S. S. is the best
yer discovered. II goes down into the circulation ard removes any
and all poisons, supplies the healthful properties it needs, and completely
and permanently cures blood diseases Of
every kind. The action of S. S. S. is 50

and weak, diseased blood made strong and
healthy so that disease cannot remain. It

INCREASE OF
 SOLDIERS PAY.

The United States army officers are getting alarmed over the prospect of keeping up the army. Since the ac- tuirement of Porto Rico and the Phil
 pine Islands the numerical strength .e the army has been increased from
 600 men to 100000 men. When
 law was passed, labor was plen- ,uI in this country and volunteers . shed into the army; but now, when
 LOT Is in great demand, the army (, licers find that the enlistment e of en is tagging to an alarming extent. | order to overcome this difficulty. GeneraI Funston suggests that the sal ary of soldiers be increased 50 pEr cent. At present the soldiers get SlS per month, their clothing, mess and laundry and an allowance for tobacco. pays its soldiers. but General Fun ston states that in San Francisco, where he is now stationed, plasterer~. plumbers and brickIayers get more money than army captains of twenty years standing. A captain of twenty years standing gets 40 per cent mor1 pay than one of five years standing his salary being s2520 a year.
 The fact that trade organizations have materially aided the civil labor CTS to advance their pay Is true, but it must be remembered that brick layers. plumbers and plasterers eau not secure constant employment, and their work Is much harder than arms officers. In fact, an army officer has a soft snap when there is no fighting to be done and his pay is adequat~. But it must be admitted that the prt- yates do not receive as much pay ts they would working in civil life. and it is possible that an increase wouId improve the service All the other nations of the world, except Great Britain, have a compulsory militaI 7 service. every able-bodied male citizen being forced to do military duty for four years This kind of seryit ( would prove very unpopular in this country, and our citizens would prefer an increase in taxes rather than com- puisory service. In other words. if It is necessary to increase the pay of privates H order to secure more vol unteers, congress should pass the measure and try to top of enough waste in the rivers and harbcrs ap- Iropriation to meet the additional ex- pense.
 , However if this nation would re- lease the Philippine Islands and allow those people to govern themselves. as il should co. there would be no neces- sity of a standing army of 100.oss men; in fact. the number could be cut down to the original 25.O00 with per- feet safety.
 But when all is said. very few elf zens will advocate the abolition of prosperity in order to keep volunteers in the army. They will prefer to pay up.

OKLAHOMA fAyoRs
 DIRECT LEGISLATION.

Although age may give prestige it is not so unfortunate, after all. in . political sense, to have been born yes terday. Japan has afforded a striking example to illustrate the truth of this observation by waiting until half a century ago to be born into ciyiliza- ton. thus escaping the worry and trouble of e gradual evolution with all its mistakes and retrogressions.
 There Is now another illustration nearer home. The latest infant to be tdded to the American family of added to the American family of constitution. After aooking around and noting how othsx< x<.aommonwealths are bound by ancient constitutions which bind end fetter, too often to the advantage of interests" and political machines, the constitution framers Of Oklahoma are apparently on the point of doing things which will fill the hearts of the reactionaries with the deepest grief.
 A strong disposition is shown to adopt the initiative and referendum. This is legislative method desired by citizens capable of consecutive think ing in all the states in the Union, bus in the older commonwealths the dis coyery of means to secure legislation which Is wanted must await the inven- ton of methods to get rid of bosses and the political machinery which is controlled by those who claim vested rights to have legislation enacted for their advantage. Oklahoma will do well to start right in providing a means for citizens to secure such laws as they want them.
 The monopoly and theft of natural resources so much practiced by cor porations also has attracted attention in Oklahoma, and as a result the con- stitutional convention recommends that the state own and operate or lease the coal and asphalt lands. This proposal is enough to make the reac- tionary and champion of individualism writhe In agony. Indeed, such a pro- pcsai made ten or fifteen years ago would have branded the proposer as a dangerous person, possessed with malevolent in tentions of upsetting so- ciety and the established order of things. Now the Oklahomans make the suggestion without blushing CT lame apologies.
