How 10 Cure an Oily Skin.

If your skin is inclined to be greasy
you must take some care about your
diet. Such things as rich soups. pastry
and hot, highly seasoned dishes must
be really left alone. Instead OF using
soap wash your face with oatmeal.
Just take n little oatmeal In the palm
OF your hand. make it quite damp, and
then rub 1t over your face as you
would do soap. This oatmeal must be
well rinsed OF afterward. and when
the face Is quite dry battle 1t with the
following lotion: Sulphate of zinc,
thirty grains; eau de cologne. one
ounce; rosewater, two ounces. Use
this twice a day. Stewed fruit OF ali
kinds are good for you, and last thing
at night, also every morning, you
should make 1t a practice to eat an
apple.

To secure the fine luster on cows
horns when they are to be exhibited
first scrape lightly with a piece Of
pumice stone until the surface is
smooth. They are then polished by
rubbing with a flannel rag and busted
with powdered pumice stone. Some
times little alcohol is rubbed over
hem to dry the surface of the horn
SO that it will take a good polish,
The horns Of some animals are so soft
that it is impossible to give them high
polish.

Diseases Of the Chest. Throat, Liver.
Heart. and Blood. and their Accom-
panyina Symptoms.

DR.. F. B. Brewer, who has made
regular visits for years, has made it a
business of life time to investigate
and study. He hes proved that these
diseases even in the stages considered
beyond the ordinary methods of treat
ment, can by rational and mild means
be retarded, arrested or permanently
cured. Few physicians have the OPP
portunity that DR.. Brewer has had in
investigating and examining the various
forms Of this class of diseases. The
fact that DIR. F. M. Brewer has been
associated with him in all his work
gives him the same knowledge of
severe cases and enables him to treat
successfully. You can consult DR.. F.
NJ. Brewer at the Viroqua Hotel in this
city on Thursday, August 18th.

JUDGE PARKER AND THE PLAT
FORM.


That Judge Alton b. Parker is to
write the platform of the National
Democratic Convention is rumor of
the most welcome import.
The utterances OF Judge Parker eS
lhibit grasp of public questions, an
insight OF their proper treatment, and
sanity OF outlook which are refresh-
ing amid the caprioious demands and
empiric suggestions that now distract
four thoughts and clog our activities.
To discard all such heresy and per-
version is a necessary omission from
4 - national Democratic platform of
1905. To denounce the failure of the
lRepublican party to give the needed
relief from unjust taxation to declare
that the Federal government should be
ironf'n.d within the limits prescribed by
the Constitution: that its admlnistra-
ton should be according to law. and
mot the personal will and usnrpations
\ OF one man. are necessary contents OF
ahe national Democratic platform OF
1905: and to set them forth with en-
phasis and clarity, no one is more
admirably equipped than Alton b,
Parker.
His character and known beliefs
give assurance that the platform. II
written by him, will be the soundest of
Democratic doctrine applied to the set
Element of present issues.
