ECZEMA ALL OVER HIM.
ny Nights Rest for a Year and Limit
Of His Endurance Seemed Near
Owes Recovery to Cuticura.

MY son Clyde was almost COM
pletely covered with eczema. Physi-
clans treated him for nearly a year
without helping him any. His head,
face. and neck were covered with large
scabs which he would rub until they
fell of. Then blood and matter would
run out and that would be worse.
Friends coming to see him said that II
he got well he would be disfigured for
life. When it seemed as II he could
possibly stand 1t no longer, 1 used
some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura ONT
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent. That
was the first night for nearly a year
that he slept. In the morning there
was great change for the better. In
about six weeks he was perfectly well.

A MATTER OF coMPULsioN.
No Soup, No Dinner, the Rule Laid
Down by Barney.

Six years ago, when the king visited
Dublin, some amusing incidents were
recorded due to the grotesqueness of
some hotel walters apparently just
fresh from rural life.
One hotelkeeper told such a newly
imported server" that he must al
ways serve every one with soup at
dinner and be quite certain that he
lad it.
Thereupon ensued the following
scene between a visitor and the new
waiter:
Soup, sir?" said Barney.

But you must have it," said Bar
ney; tits the rules of the house"

visitor. highly exasperated. when ]

Chicago. - Taft and Sherman.
This ID is the ticket of the Repub-

day as the Republican national con-
vention concluded with the nomination
of James S. Sherman of New York
for vice-president amid a final roar of
tumultuous demonstration.
Scene of Wild Enthusiasm.
The picture within the walls of the
vast amphitheater as the presidential
candidate was named Thursday was
one truly gradiose in its magnitude
In front, to the right and left, below

manity, restless after hours of wait

another, was in fever of expectancy
for the eliminating vote. The favorite
sons of other states had been named,
save Knox and La Toilette, and now
on the roll call came Ohio.
AS the Buckeye state was reached.
the tall, gaunt form of Theodore E.
Burton, with student-like face and
severe black clerical garb, advanced to

diGate. He spoke fervently, with the
singing voice of an evangelist, which
went ringing through the great build
ing. The close of his speech of
nomination was the signal for loosing
the long pent-up feeling of the Taft
legions. Instantly the Ohio delegates
were on their feet, other Taft states
following, while the convention hosts,
in gallery and on floor, broke into mad
demonstration. For 10, Is, 20 minutes,

But, no; just as the last swell of

from clear sky burst a La Toilette
demonstration which swept the con-

was the same deafening wave OF sound
that had greeted Roosevelt Wednesday
and Taft little while before, intense
and maddening and with the vital ring
of genuine enthusiasm. 1t seemed as
though Wisconsin had suddenly peo-

delegates sat calm and waiting, ex-

PLATFORM AT A GLANCE.

Roosevelt
The abuse of wealth, the tyranny
of power. and the evils of privilege
and favoritism have been put to
scorn by him. We pledge a con-
tinuance of the Roosevelt policies.
Anti-lnjunction-
The Republican party will uphold
the authority of the courts, but be-
1eves the rules of procedure in
federal courts with respect to in
functions should be more accurate
ly defined by statute, and that no
injunction should be issued without
notice.
Labor
. The same wise policy will be pur-
sued to tighten the burdens Of all
who toll.
Tariff
The Republican party declares
for revision of tariff by a special
session of congress. We favor the
establishment of maximum and
minimum rates.
Money
An expanding commerce
and increasing crop movements
disclose the need of a more elias
tic and adaptable system.
Trusts
The government should have
greater supervision over corpora
tons engaged in interstate COM
merce.
Inland Waterways
We call for a large and compre-
hensive plan to improve the water
ways. harbors. and great lakes.
} Army and Navy
While the American people do
not desire and will not provoke a
, war with any other country, we
nevertheless declare our devotion
to a policy which will keep this
republic ready at all times to de-
fend her traditional doctrines.
Good Roads
We approve the efforts of the ag-
ricultural department in. good road
construction.
Negroes
We condemn all devices for the
disfranchisement of the negro.
, Republican Policy
The difference between Democ-
racy and Republicanism : is that
one stands for yacillation and IT,
, nudity in government. the other
Tor strength and purpose. Democ-
racy would have the nation own
he people. while Republicanism
would have the people own the ma

Amid this pandemonium, and with
the galleries in full control, Chairman
Lodge decided upon heroic action in
order again to make the convention
master of its affairs. He ordered the
roll call of states to begin for the
vote on president. Such call, under
such circumstances Of intense con-
fusion, has probably never before &C.
CURED in the history of national con
ventions. The secretary was power
less to make his call of the states
heard above the deafening clamor
Selling megaphone he shouted the
roll of states-Alabama, Arkansas
but his voice was swallowed up in the
mad uproar. Gradually, however, the
curiosity of the multitude conquered
their enthusiasm, and they lapsed into
silence to hear the result of the roll
call.
A hush of expectancy hung over
the assembly as the call proceeded.
Hasty summaries showed that Taft
was far in advance. When New York
was reached the Taft column totaled
APT. Ohio carried the Taft total to
511, or 20 more than enough to nom
mate. Still the call went on until the
final result was announced by Chair
man Lodge:
For Theodore Roosevelt. 3 votes:
for Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio 16
votes; for Charles w. Fairbanks of
Indiana, 40 votes; for Joseph Cannon
OF Illinois, 81 votes; for Robert La Fol-
lette of Wisconsin, % votes; for
Charles E. Hughes of New York, Sc
votes; for Philander c. Knox of Penn
sylvania, 68 votes, and William H. Taft
of Ohio. 702 votes.
A great shout went up as Lodge
concluded his announcement, and with
one accord the cohorts of Cannon and
Knox and Hughes and the other
heroes, joined in a common tribute for
the candidate of the party.
Sherman for Second Place.
The nomination for the vice-presi-
dency was not made until Friday.
When the convention adjourned for
the day Thursday the situation re.
garding second place on the ticket was
decidedly unsettled, but before the del.
egates met Friday an arrangement had
been perfected for the Taft delegates
to support Representative James S.
Sherman Of New York as the running
mate of the secretary of war
Three names were placed in nomi-
nation when the chairman announced
that nominations were in order. Sher.
man was named as New York's choice
by Tim Woodruff, former lieutenant
governor of the state; Gov. Curtis
Guild of Massachusetts was placed in
nomination by Senator Lodge, and Ex-
Gov. Franklin Murphy of New Jersey
was named by Thomas N. McCarter.
Several brief seconding speeches were
made for each candidate.
When the roll call was begun it was
soon seen that Sherman was the popu.
lar choice of the delegates. When
enough votes had been cast to insure
his nomination Senator Crane of
Massachusetts moved that it be made
unanimous and it was carried with a
shout of approval.
The usual motions of acknowledg.
ment to the officers of the convention
and to the city in which 1t was held
were then passed.

YOU'RETOO THIN.

IFS Stomach Cutu,xA

~ 5 NLO11tICN (UtII1TiN
Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamental rea-
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to change this personal
popularity.
But there are large number OF peo-
pie who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and feshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
Thin people lack in adipose tissue.
Adipose tissue is chiefly composed of
fat.
Fat Is derived from the oily constit-
uents of food.
The fat-making foods are called by
the Psychologist, hydrocar bons. This
class OF foods are not digested in the
stomach at all. They are digested in
the duodenum, the division of the ali
mentary canal just below the stomach.
The digestion of fat is mainly, if not
wholly, the work of the panereatic
juice. This juice is of alkaline reac-
ton, and Is rendered inert by the addi-
ton of acid. A hyperacidity of the
digestive fluids Of the stomach passing
down into the duodenum, DESTROYS
the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fats are not di-
gested or emulsifed, and the system is
deprived of its due proportion of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning of the trouble is n ca
tarrhal condition of the stomach which
causes hyperacidity of the gastric
juices. This hyperacidity is caused by
fermentation Of food in the stomach.
When the food is taken into the stom-
ach, If the process of digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
ton will take place. This creates a
hyperacidity of the stomach Juices
which in their turn prevent the pam
creatic digestion of the oils, and the
cancellation results.
A dose Of Peruna before each meal
hastens the stomach digestion. By
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents
fermentation of the contents of the
stomach, and the pancreatic juice is thus
preserved In its normal state. 1t then
only remains for the patient to eat
sufficient amount OF fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.

BY a decisive victory of IA to
Pendleton High Saturday showed
great superiority over La Grande's
eleven, the team which practically
won from Baker City some weeks
ago. Measured by the comparative
showings made by the two teams
against La Grande Pendleton should
have much the better of the argu-
ment when the gladiators meet in
Baker City on Friday next.
Saturdays victory over La Grande
was gained in straight football. The
locals seemed unable to work the for
ward pass successfully, but in hitting
the line and going around the end
they simply played circles around the
Grande Ronde team.
The game was played on a 90-yard
field, an advantage to the La Grande
fellows, as was shown in their fluke
touchdown when Captain Myers got
away with the ball on a punt that
should have been Bakers and plant
ed it behind the goal posts.
HenuIctOn hlcks OlI.
Pendeton kicked off to La Grande
Through some fumbles and misplays,
on the part of the Pendleton boys, La
Grande found itself within 1 5 min
utes upon Pendleton's one-yard line
with three downs for the gain. They
were held and Pendleton, taking the
ball, went down the field until, on a
fake punt, Baker threw the ball on
forward pass to Kimball, who got
through two men and planted II be-
goal, .r
La Grande received the kick and
was forced to punt. Myers got the
ball and just as time was called made
La Grande's one touchdown, but fail
ed to kick goal. During this half
La Grande only made yardage in one
instance.
La Grande on Defensive.
In the last half the game was play
ed with La Grande entirely on the de-
fensive. Baker made two place
kicks, ffrom the 25 and 80 yard lines.
respectively, and brought the Pendle-
ton end of the score to IA. Good
gains were made through the line and
around the ends and Pendleton's goal
was never in danger. During the last
four minutes Baker was knocked
out
The decisive victory won at La
Grande, taken in view of the fact
that La Grande upon Baker City's
recent visit to that city, had the game
won, with only a minute to play.

the visitors the game, indicates that
on Friday next when the two teams

T. NJ. Taggart, a prominent young

yesterday and while here spoke very
optimistically of the prospects in his
section of the county.
Athena is just a trifle quiet as it
always is just after harvest" said he.
But business in general has been
good and there is no doubt but that
our section of the county is going
ahead. In the course of time the big
farms in our neighborhood are going
TO be divided up. to an extent at least,
and the town will benefit"
II believe" said Mr.. Taggart, that
the building of the interurban line
from Pendleton to Walla Walla will
help Athena more than any other
town in the county. This is because
Athena is in the center of the coun-
ty and will not be in such close COM
petition with Pendleton and Walla
Walla as will the other towns. But
the electric line will help the other
towns also because it will produce a
closer settlement all along the line"

EXPECTS HARD GAME.
Baker City Coaches Expect Their
Team to Defeat PendIetOn.


Although there was no football
game in Baker City today the High
school team was put through some
hard practice with the second team
that they might be in the best shape
possible for the game with Pendleton
next Friday, says the Herald. The
team has been given a hard griling
each evening by Coach McKim and
the boys are showing up In excellent
form. DR.. Vaughan, who learned the
game under Yost, the famous coach
of Michigan, has been assisting with
the team and showing the boys the
fine points Of the game. 1t is MS
opinion that if the boys will play as
they should play and as they can
play, there Is not a team in the state
that can hold them.
While the football team has been
doing it's part in preparing for the
game with Pendleton, the Rooters
club has not been idle and is preparing
to make things lively at the game.
Pendleton is coming in two or three
special cars and will bring along lOO
or more rooters so that the local sup
porters will have to get in and drill
to show the visitors how to root, FOR
they are famous for their stunts
Songs. yells and cheers will be given
to cheer the wearers Of the purple
and gold to victory. On the evening
before the game there will be a grand
rally and while the game Is in pro-
gress all the stores will be closed so
that every man. woman and child in
town will be given an opportunity 10
