CASE SEEMED HOPELESS
BUT CUTICURA CURED HER

words cannot describe the terrible
eczema l suffered with. 1t broke out
on my head and kept spreading until it
covered my whole body. | was almost
a solid mass of sores from head to foot.
l looked more like a piece Of raw beef
than a human being. The pain and
agony | endured seemed more than I
could bear. Blood and pus oozed from
the great sore on my scalp, from under
my finger nails. and nearly all over my
body. My ears were so crusted and
swollen | was afraid they would break
OFF. Every hair in my head fell out.
/ could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the pain.
My family doctor did all he could. but
l got worse and worse NV condition
was awful. did not think could live
and wanted death to come and end nv
frightful sufferings.
In this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies. / said / would, but had no hope
OF recovery. But oh. what blessed re-
lief experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment. 1t cooled the bleeding
first real sleep had had in weeks. 1t
was as grateful as ice to burning
tongue. | would battle with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. I also took Cuti-
cura Resolvent for the blood. In a
short time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and l knew I
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
short time l was completely cured.
cannot praise Cuticura enough.
wish L could tell everybody who has
eczema TO Use Cuticura. Nv condition
was SO terrible that what cured ma
cannot fail to cure anybody of this
awful disease. If any one doubts the
truth OF this letter, tell them to write

Horse Th:ef's Sentence Suspended.

COLFAX, July 24.-Carl Blanken-
ship, the former Washington State
guilty to stealing horses, was today
sentenced from one to ten years in the
penitentiary by Judge Garfield, but his
sentence was suspended pending good
behavior and with the understanding
that he reports every month to the
sheriff of Whitman county until the
term of his sentence expires.

day announced that all straw that
farmers of his district will donate will
be placed upon the roads in that dis
trict this fall. and that following years
will witness Ia similar action. In
years past it has been the policy Of
farmers to burn their straw stacks
at summer following time, but that
will not be the rule this year, accord
ing to Mr. Case, who has already re-
ceived the promise of straw from
several thousand acres of land in his
district.
In speaking of the move for better
roads in district No. 4, Mr. Case said
it had been proven that straw on
roads in the autumn preceding the
rainy season would pack down until
it would not disintegrate; that some
substance in the straw, combined with
fall rains, went to form a hard sub
stance that prevented dust and would
not work into a rutty road bed under
heavy traffic. What moisture soaks
through the straw after it is placed
upon the roads is conserved through
out the year, thus preventing the dust
with which farmers have had to con-
tend for years past.

MAKE HALF A MILLION.

National Guard is a true phrase
now. Until very recently it was a fic-
ton. We shall have a true national
guard-when we have the men. But
at the present moment the organized
militia, on the new basis, does not
number more than 10000 men all
told, and perhaps $4,000 of these would
not be found fit for active sd.vice.
There are only six states in the union
that have an organized militia of
more than 1000 men, and those six
states are all in the northeastern part
of the country. All the southern states
taken together have but a few more
organized militia than the state OF
New York alone Militarism? Not in
the least An organized citizen SOL
diery is the opposite of militarsm--it
is an insurance against it. Without a
national citizen-guard of at least $780,
600 men we must have a larger regu-
lar army With it the regular army
need never be increased, if the popula-
ton of the county rose to 10000
600. 1t is plain common sense. Is
Switzerland. where every man is a
trained and ready soldier and where
there is no regular army at all, a
country? And is Switzer-
land the only country in the world
that is capable of defensive common
sense?

Farmers Are WILLING,


Farmers who were in the city to-
day. and whose places are in Mr..
Cases territory, this afternoon spoke
enthusiastically regarding the move
for better roads in that part of the
county, and one even went so far as
to say he would be wiling to pay %
cents load for every load taken from
his place and put upon the roads. This
| is a one-sided question, apparently.
and because all are willing to work
| together for a common good, there
seems to be no reason to doubt that
within a comparatively short time.
road district No. will have the finest
highways in the state
| Mr.. Case has been in charge of road
work in district No. for some time
past, and has made many experiments
with straw upon the roads. He has
the assurance of practically all large
land owners in that part of the coun-
| ty that their straw will not be burned
| this year. and work will be started
upon the roats as soon as harvesting
and threshing operations are done
with.
Winans Started Movement
| The talk made by w. P. Winans at
| the weekly luncheon of the CONNER
cal club in the Dacres hotel last
Tuesday noon, upon the subject, "Bet-
ter Roads, was directly responsible
| for the step taken this week for the
conservation of straw for road work.
Mr.. Winans told of roads of other
countries, compared them with the
| highways Of this country, and in clos
ing his remarks, dwelt opon the sue
cess that might be attained through
using a plentiful supply of straw on
! the roads of this county. AS though
the keynote had been sounded, those
who are vitality interested in the ques-
ton, gave the subject some discussion
and Mir. Case, the first road overseer
to take such action in this section,
has started campaign that will not
end until every foot of roadbed in his
strict has been given top coating
that will be practically ust-proof,
solid and reliable.
The campaign now started is not
spasmodic attempt to better the roads,
but a consistent movement that bids
to grow in popularity as other COM
mun.ties see what can be accomp-
lished with cooperation. 1t is said
there is straw enough in district NO.
4 to improve every foot of road there
in. and after the application has been
made this fall and thoroughly wetted
down by winter rains, what straw is
remaining will be applied in the
spring. Farmers are urged not to-
burn Their straw as has been the rule
in years past, as only by holding 1t
can the work be aided.
Mr.. Case. who is in the city this
afternoon, received the promise OF
pra ctically every resident of the dis
trict that he could have all the straw
necessary to make the movement an
unqualified success.
