BUY TORTURED BY AWFUL HUMOR
Almost Covered with ECzema-NC Nights Rest for Nearly a Year Feared Lifelong Oisfgurement- All Treatments Failed and Limit of Endurance Seemed Nearr
PERFECT RECOVERY
 IS DUE TO CUTICURA

> "With the exception of his hands and feet. my son Clyde Chirteen years old) was almost completely covered with eczema. Physicians treated him for nearly a year without helping him any. While they were very kind and did all in their power, yet nothing seemed to re- lieye him. And I had tried many rem edies sent to me by kind friends but they all failed. His head, face, and neck were covered with large sCabs which he would rub until they fell of. Then blood ana matter would run out and that would De worse. Many a time he looked as his ears would drop of. Friends com ing to see him said that II he got well ne would be disfgured for life.
 When it seemed as if he could pos sibly stand it no longer, decided to try Cuticura. l bought a cake Of Cuu- clira Soap, box of Cuticura Ointment and a bottle of Cuticura Resolyent. used them in the evening and that was the first night for nearly year that he slept. This may sound exaggerated to you. but in the morning there was great change for the better. In about Six weeks you could not have told that hehadeverhadanythingwrongwithhlm I treated him twice a day for six months and at present he has a fine comp!eGlon and not a scar on his body.

HOW LOHG WILL IMPROVEMENT LAST? ?

So eminent an authority in the fuan- clal world as Henry CIews frankly ad- mits that tariff revision Is due and would be beneficial to business. In his latest letter he says:
 "The first question to be asked is how long will this improvement last in view of the fact that the country will shortly be precipita,ed into a sharp tariff ag:- EAEion, both parties being pledged to revision. Tariff changes are always un- settling; the uncertainty as to what will be done usually being a more ser ious matter than the actual changes. Fortunately, the country is in some respects better able to stand tariff dis cussIon than ever before. The tariff in many instances is 80 high that a mOder- ate reduction would do little or DO harm lo home interests, and would increase the national revenue. In other cases our manufacturers would be positively benefited by reduction Of the tariff on their raw materials. The most likely point of attack is the steel tsrilT; but there is an ample margin here, anl our steel industry is so well fortified by su- perior methods and low costs of PrOduc- tion that it's future will not be seriously endangered by sny well considered re- ductiou. Whether the campaign against corporations will be conducted as az gressively as heretofore, or not, is an open question. Alreaoy there has been a decided reaction ln public opinion in this respect, and the feeling that the

The total value of precious stones produced in the United States during 1907 Is placed by the geological survey at s47I, 300, as compared with S2O3,OOO in 1906. This great increase Is due chiefly to large output of sapphire in Montana, of both the blue and the variegated variety. A new gem min eral has been added to the list of known precious stones. It is called "benito- ite," has a blue color ard high rehec- tive index, and Is found in North Caro- lina. According to reports that for two years have been coming out Of the Nome country, Alaska will soon add materially to the value of the product in precious stones.

WHAT RR. HEARST IS SAYING

Democrats have little cause to com plaln of the course Mir. Hearst Is taking says the Salt Lake Tribune. he has done more for the party than the party has done for him. And when he attacks Bryan he is prcceed- ing leRItImately, He has Opportuni- ties to know.
 And the man Is no, c)ndnIng himself 70 attacks OF Bryan. In the course of his campaign he lashes out st the vul. erable spots In any army to which he Is opposed. Be has provided the Bryan defenders with enough charges 10 en- gross their attention 10 the end Of the campaign. Not for many months will there be opportunity to explain the proved charge that Bryan called cer- tain labor men public beggsrs." IL win not do for Bryan to point to bis record. They are pointing to that lucIden. IN his record. And it hurts him.
 When he turns his guns against the republicans, he Is equally supported 80 tar-with the proof. Here Is his charge that Senator Foraker was a paid attorney of the Standard oil people. Nlr. Foraker, on reading a re- port Of the Hearst charges, admitted he bad taken fees from the Standard 10 legal matters confined to the state ot Ohio; but that hs never received resslpers for services in congress. And then Hearst reads other letters that show that the senator took money while 8 senator, and directly for serg- ices in connection with bills before congress.
 A man can not properly do that sort of thing. It is a surprise 10 General Foraker's friends to know that he did 80. But it is a matter personal to him. His party can not be condemned on that charge any more than Bryan can involve the whole of democracy because he applied the term "beggars" to labor union men.
 II Mir. Foraker served the Standard for hire while a senator, and that service was in reference to bills before congress or the departments, he did wrong. And the burden will lie upon him alOne-and upon the Standard.
 The republican party does not con- done unlawful acts. And neither MT. Hearst nor anyone else is injurlng the republican party by revealing iudivIdu- al error. Men who sin have co pay the penalty themselves. For, according to the assute Mr. Kipling:

RECORD FOR OHIO TWIRLER.
Lancaster Leads Ohio State League
by Margin of Fifty Points.

Lancaster. Ohio. Aug L5-For a pitcher
20 get away with one uo-hit game in &
season is an honor. To pitch two such
games IN a season IS q distinction that
not one rwirier IN q thousand can ever
hope TO claim
The feat has beez accomplished By
Walter Juscus. Of the Lancaster team, in
the Ohio state League. and as the sea-
son is less than two-thi-ds completed.
he may make his record three before
the playing year ends The way he IS
going there seems no good reason why
he should not turn the trick.
Jusrus shut out the Mansfield COhio)
team July . without a hit. and repeated
against Portsmouth. Ohio. August > In
the former game only three balls were
hit 70 the outheld- and in the latter only
two Justus pitched a one-hit game
against Lima Ohio. July 70. and has
worked two no-hit games and two three
Eir games lhis year Altogether. this
makes a record for four months work
that Is probably without a parallel in
baseball The average number Of hits
on bin per game is approximately ave
and Ole-half.
Red White. another Lancaster pitcher.
has pitched Do-hit game. a one-hit
same, and three two-hit games. Blink
Mock. a third Lancaster tvirler.
soUthpaw. has pitched a no-hit game. a
two-hit game. and a three-hit game
Wherefore il IS not at all remarkable
that Lancaster leads the Ohio state
League By a margin OF fifty points.
