GIRL WAS DELIRIoUs
With Fearful Eczema-Pain, Heat,
and TIngling Were Excruciating-
Cuticura Acted Like Magic.

"An eruption broke out on my
daughters chest. took her to a
doctor, and he pronounced 1t to be
eczema of a very bad form. He treated
her. but the disease spread to her back,
and then the whole of her head was
affected. and all her hair had to be cut
off. The pain she suffered was excru-
ciating, and with that and the heat
and tingling her life was almost un-
bearable. Occasionally she was deliri-
Gus and she did not have proper hours
sleep for many nights. The second
doctor we tried afforded her Just as
little relief as the first. Then l pur-
chased Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Pills, and before the Ointment was
three quarters finished every trace of
the disease was gone. 1t really seemed
like magic. Mrs. T. w. Hyde, Brent
wood, Essex, England, Mar. 8, 1907"

Eaypt,s wonderful Progress.

The progress of Egypt's commercial
development in the last 20 years has
been most marked. The cotton crop
alone in that time has more than dou-
bled. In spite of the large reductions
OF taxation the revenue last year was
the largest ever collected in one year.
The great wealth of Egypt lies in her
agricultural resources-cotton, oil
seeds, sugar and other crops. These.
in turn. depend upon the Nile flood.
With the Nile regulated and under
control by the immense system Of
reservoirs and dams, with fellaheen
freed from excessive taxation. and
with network Of light railways, rem.
dering the produce OF the country &C
cessible to foreign markets. the pros
pect of Egypt is placed on more
solid basis than in the past.

painter did not mix 1t thus 1t would
be as unscientific as a patent medi-

good painter turns out is made Of
genuine white lead and pure linseed

is not sure what is in It, and conse-
quently his client cannot be sure,
AS for not being thoroughly mixed

Washington-The expected fight in the house of representatives over the question whether there shall be two or four battleships authorized for the coming year did not materialize Tues day, while the naval appropriation h. stead most of the session was devoted to a lively debate in regard to the naval stations in the Philippines. The supporters of the Subig Bay station led by Messrs Foss and Hobson, were victorious, despite vigorous opposition from both sides of the chamber. Ac- cordingly. the sum of $100000, as recommended by the committee for improving and developing the naval station at Olongapo, Subig Bay, was allowed to stand.
 A special message from President Roosevelt urging four battleships was read and elicited loud applause from the advocates of the proposition.

SENATOR FORAkER AGAIN BACKS
 COLORED TROOPS.
TAXES ISSUE WITH ROOSEVELT
Oenounces Executive for Dismissal of Soldiers as Result of the
 Brownsville Riot.

Washington. D. C.-Senator J. F. Foraker of Ohio Tuesday afternoon again hurled denunciation at the head Of President Roosevelt, because the chief executive had dismissed three companies of negro soldiers as d result of the Brownsville riot.
 It would seem that We are to be carried back in the administration of justice to the days when men and women put on trial for witchcraft. found no avenue of escape from pun lshment, brutality and execution. ex- cept only in confession" he exclaimed III opposing the so-called "Administra- ton measures" recently introduced by Senator Warner of Missouri which wlll permit any of the discnarged men to re-enlist upon proving to the satis- faction of the president" that they were innocent of complicity in shoot ing up the Texas town.
 Foraker declared if that bill became law, it would compel the negro sol. diers to appear for justice before a VI i.' i4t'd etli @Sida HitJuulCtu lutII case-not once or twice or three times and casually-but repeatedly and off cially, and each time with a manifes. tation of the most unqualified convic- tion that not only some of the men discharged did the shooting, but that many, if not all of them. had knowl- edge of the perpetrators which through conspiracy of silence. they have re- fused to diYuge"
 In tones of bitter sarcasm Foraker asked: By what right does the sen atof from Missouri assume that the president Is capable of such a manifest impropriety?'
 The Ohioan urged the passage of his restoration bill. which would restore the men to their full rights and enable them to get back into the army upon taking oath that they did not do the shooting and were ignorant of the guilty ones. He carefully reviewed the testimony in the Brownsville in vestigation to show the innocence of the negro soldiers.

PLEA FOR BATTlESHIPS.
President, in Special Message, Asks
 for Four New Ones.

Washington-With a view to forcing the direct issue as to whether his naval program for four new battle ships should go by the board. as threatened. President Roosevelt sent a stirring message to congress Tues day in advocacy of his plan. The delivery was so timed that it would reach the house before vote could be taken on the battleship provision in the naval appropriation bill, at present under consideration.
 "To provide for but one or two bat tleships a year" he says. lis to pro- vide that this nation, instead of ad- yancing. shall go backwards in naval rank and relative power among the great nations. Such a course would be unwise for us if We fronted merely on one ocean, and il is doubly unwise when We front on two oceans. As chief executive of the nation, and as commander-in-chief of the navy. there is imposed upon me the solemn re- sTonsibility of advising the congress of the measures vitally necessary to secure the peace and welfare of the republic in the event of international complications which are even remote ly possible
 Having in view this solemn respon- sibility l earnestly advise that the congress now provide four battleships of the most advanced type.
 'I can not too emphatically say that this is a measure of peace and not of war" he continued. T can conceive of no circumstance under which this republic would enter into an aggres- sive war. Yet our undefended wealth invites aggression"
