HIS SKIN TROUBLES CURED.

Later With Blood-Poison in Leg
Relied on Cuticura Remedies.
About twelve or fifteen years ago I had
a breaking-out, and it itched, and stung so
badly that I could not have any peace be-
cause of it. Three doctors did not help me.
Then I used some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent and be-
gan to get better right away. They cured
me and l have not been bothered with the
itching since, to amount to anything.
About two years ago ! had Ia grippe and
pneumonia which left me with a pain in
my side. Treatment ran it into my leg,
which then swelled and began to break out.
The doctor was afraid it would turn to
blood-poison. I used his medicine but it
did no good, then I used the Cuticura
Remedies three times and cured the break
ing-out on my leg. j. F. Hennen. Milan,

Raw Materials.

There is one particular in which
the liquor trade has the advantage

worries over the approaching extinc-

times ingeniouSly figure on the ex-
haustion Of the coal and iron in so
many centuries. But the liquor man
can figure on the fact that there are
in this land no less than fifteen mill

haustion, no chronic debility. They
are not shut up day after day with
practically no exercise, and they are
not able to stuff themselves with food
when their bodies have not had enough
work to justify It. The human race
has been doing this for years, and
look Mt the result-half the people are
complaining of poor health, not real
illness--just a half-sick, tired, droopy
feeling. They don't really know what
is the matter with them.

APPEAL IN sRyANs BEHALF
Democratic Voters Urged to Send In

Barre, April 22.--Believing that Mr..
Bryan Is the choice of large major

candidate for president, the Vermont
branch of the Democratic Progressive
League of New England has through
It's president, G., Herbert Pape, and
It's secretary, Phil s. Howes, issued
the following statement to the demo
cratic voters of this state.
The Vermont branch OF the Demo

England, believing that the Hon. VIII
liam Jennings Bryan of Nebraska is
date for the Democratic party to NOM
mate for president of the United
States hereby calls upon the Demo
Gratis of Vermont who favor Mr.. Bry-
ans nomination to cooperate with
them to accomplish that result.
By his personal character. his pat
riotisn. his great ability, which Is re.
cognized both at home and abroad, his
able advocacy of the great democratic
principle of equal rights for all and
special privileges for none" we have
In Mr.. Bryan the ideal democratic can
didate. AS vote getter, Mr.. Bryan
is not the failure that his political
opponents in and out Of the party are
trying to picture him. The whole
situation Is well summed up In re-
cent editorial in the New Haven, Conn
Union when ii says that Mr.. Bryan is
one million votes stronger before the
people than any other democrat.
We believe that Mr.. Bryan is the
choice of large majority Of the dem
ocrats Of Vermont as their candidate
for president. With the method of
nominating candidates now In use,
the only opportunity the voter has to
express his choice Is to attend his To-
cal caucus for the election Of delegates
to state and district conventions, and
there register his choice by sending to
these conventions delegates who are
favorable to the candidate he desires
TO see nominated.
We would therefore urge all demo
Gratis OF Vermont favorable to Mr.
Bryans nomination to attend their
town or city caucus. and give their
support to delegates who will work
in the state and district conventions
for Mr.. Bryan's interests,
