Eczema on Baby's Face Had
Lasted Three Months-At Last
Doctor Found Cure.

"Our baby boy broke out with &C.
zema on his face when one month old.
One place on the side of his face the
size of a nickel was raw like beefsteak
for three months, and he would cry
out when 1 bathed the parts that were
sore and broken out. l gave him
three months treatment from a good
doctor, but at the end of that time the
child was no better. Then my doctor
recommended Cuticura. After using
a cake of Cuticura Soap, a third of a
box of Cuticura Ointment, and half a
bottle of Cuticura Resolvent he was
we'll and his face was as smooth as any
baby's. He is now two years and a
half old and no eczema has reappeared.

ARGUMENTS THAT HAVE WEIGHT
Nire Cogent Reasons Why Taft Should
Not Be Elected.

Mr.. Taft is pledged to carry out the
financial policy of Theodore RoOse
welt.
Roosevelt favOrs the currency policy
which brought on the panics of 1873,
1893 and 1907.
Ever since the close of the civil war
in 1865 the Republican party has been
striving to drive out of circulation the
United States legaltender notes, and
has put in their place the notes of ma
tional banks, which are not money,
but a promise to pay money.
Mr.. Taft is pledged to carry out the
Roosevelt policy with regard to an
elastic currency.
An elastic currency is n that eX'
pands and contracts at the will OF
those who control it. When It ex'
pands prices of stocks and commodi.
ties go up; when it contracts prices
go down. This is the kind of currency
that enables stock-gamblers to contrOl
the price of stocks.
No farmer, mechanic, labOring man
merchant or business mar has ever
asked for an elastic currency.
Roosevelt in his message to con
gress has asked for it. Although he
said 1--WE must not have imitation" he
has inflated bank notes to the extent
of $500, 000, 900, making the total a!
the time of the panic nearly $70O, 900,
900. Yet he urged the passage Of the
Aldrich bill and finally signed the
Vreeland bill, thus initiating the cur
rency $500, 900, 900 more.
He has practically turned the United
States treasury over to the stock
gamblers-for before the late panic
began Comptroller Ridgely reported
that there was $21O,O 0 900 of United
States treasury funds in different ma
tional banks.
Shall we keep up this policy by vot.
ing for Taft?

East AGAINST the West.

The high tariff is the special priv
ilege of the east against the west. 1t
forces the west and the middle west
to pay unduly high prices to the big
factories, mills and foundries of the
east By guaranteeing exorbitant
profits in the home market it enables
the manufacturer to slaughter goods
abroad. The foreign consumer reaps
the benefits of low prices, and the
American consumer is taxed for the
foreign consumers benefit.
The people demand a change and
are ready to vote for whichever party
will guarantee it. Remember the tar
if, candidates, for on it hangs the is
sue.

Sometimes Hard to Tell.

she may smile and look the happi-
ness she either feels or is incapable
of feeling. If she has many things to

how to make ten cents do a dollars

vixen, it will show in her face, so aft

President Hits Back at Bryan.
Observation-Disclosures Roosevelt
gave out a statement Sunday night
that severely score William j. Bryan
and the Democratic party. 1t was
called forth by the criticism of the
president, Mr.. Taft, and the Republic
an party's platform by Mr.. Bryan.
In answering Mr.. Bryan's claim that
the Democratic party will pursue the
antitrust prosecutions more vigOr-
ously, Mr.. Roosevelt asks a compari-
son of what the two parties have done
when in power. pointing out that the
last Democratic administration, that
in which Mr.. Olney was attorney gen.
eral, instituted but four such cases,
two of which failed and a third of
which was decided by Mr.. Taft in
favor of the government.
In comparison to this is the record
of the present administration with its
mass of antitrust and rebate cases,
the vast majority of the decisions be-
ing convictions.
Haskell urgently Handled.
The last part of the statement is
given over to a denunciation of the
political life of Gov. Haskell and the
manner in which Mr.. Bryan accepted
the Oklahoman's service and defended
him, even after the accusations against
him BECAME public. Mr.. Roosevelt
mentions many of the shortcomings Of
which he says Haskell is guilty and
declares there are many others not
enumerated.
Those specifically mentioned are:
That Haskell, as governor of Ok
lahoma, gave illegal privileges to
the Prairie Oil & Gas Company, a sub
sidiary of the Standard Oil trust.
That he secured title to town lots
in Muskogee, Okla, by fraud, drawing
them by the use of a dummy" Has
kell now is under Indictment on
the charge, he says.
That Haskell offered a fee of $5Oc
to an Arkansas lawyer ii the latter
would lobby in the Muskogee council
for the passage of a certain franchise
and then refused payment, although
the franchise was secured.
That Haskell lodged payment OF a
judgment by a New York court Tor
s42,235, and that a sberiff's execution
fai:ed to o bu' $3.50 OF this
amount.
That Haskell was a member OF the
Citizens Alliance, a body formed to

In spite OF the fact that the Chinese
I population in the United States is much
smaller than # was IN IS7S. the importa-
tion Of smoking opium into the United
States has increased more than 80 per
cent since that year.
IN 1907 the importation Of smoking
opium was I57.o00 pounds.
These facts are only a few OF the start
ling features OF the reports now being
received al the State Department by the
American commissioners 10 the interna-
tiOnaI congress 10 Investigate and re-
port on the growth Of the opium habit
The investigation is being conducted by
DR.. Hamilton Wright. Of Washington. one
of the commissioners. who has his head

{ tary Huntington Wilson. OF the State De

show that the Emportations Of opium into

n New York City there are said to be
about 1900 Chlnamen- OF whom COO are
smokers Of opium; another report places
the percentage Of smokers at one-third
the entire population. IN Philadelphia
there are LOO Chinese. fully one-third OF
whom are addicted 20 the habit. These
figures do not take into consideration the

The sources OF Information upon which
the commissioners rely are State phar-
aacists. members Of the American Ned
cal Association. police reports manu-
facturers of opium. chemists. druggists.
and boards OF health
One Of the Interesting facts Cleaned
by the investigation IS that the users Of
the drug among the Chinese population
in the United States are anxious 10 give
It up. and the young men are being
strongly impressed by Chinese medical
authorities with the deadly destructive
influences OF the use OF opium.
Chinese Have a Cure.
Chinese doctors have devised a cure for
the habit. which Is being generally re-
sorted TO by victims Of the drug The
efficacy OF the cure has not yet been fully
tested
When the commissioners 10 the inter
national congress were first appointed,
they were instructed that the primary
purpose Of the international congress was
10 consider the growth OF the opium habit
in the far East II occurred 10 Dr.
Wright that It might be worth while 10
investigate the prevalence Of the habit In
the United States he set about getting
reports from all the large cities. and I'd
10 this time the replies have been rather
startling. He believes that il proves con
clusively that there IS an opium evil at
home which demands attention before the
United States starts out 10 reform the
