AN ITCHING PALM
No Cure for It. Other Forms of
 Itching Preferable.

There Is no cure for an itching palm --the money kind. Even poslam. the new skin discovery, cannot help 1t. But when 1t comes to eczema. the most an. will stop the itching at once and cure the worst eases in few days. So with hives rash. scables. split toes. different forms of eczema. accompanied by severe itching and caused by im- perfect digestion and careless diet.
 Poslam comes in two-dollar jars. but fifty cents worth will answer in cur ing any of thet diseases mentioned. It can be had of any druggist. B. c. Fowler makes a speciality of 1t.
 That results are immediate will be amply demonstrated overnight by the use of the experimental sample which the Emergency Laboratories. 32 West Twenty fifth Street, New York City, peri to any one who will write for 1t.

And, If so, what is the duty OF the
physician? AS a friend OF the wife and
mother, as her protector and adviser
as we'll as her physician, how is he
doing his duty to her when he deceives

ceals a moral and physical cancer I'M

titles him and to which his duty calls

impurity. The medical men cam If they

How Two Great Railroad

nROSPERITY stands in a general
- way for about all men prize in
u this world. 1t means wealth,
success, plenty to eat, plenty tc
wear, good houses, mutual respect
In word, the necessities and luxuries
Of life. 1t is what everybody is look

fetch Of the American people. There.
fore do we greet the prosperity talker
as the bearer of glad tidings.
James j. Hill and Edward n. Har.
riman, the two big noises of the rail-
road world, have been talking prosper
ity. President Taft, George Gould,
John W. Gates and others have been
talking in the same strain. Hill was
born In Canada and moved over and
annexed the northern part Of the
United States.
In the magazines he is called 'the
empire builder" but in the northwest
he is plain Jim HILL which the Swedes
pronounce YIN He'll" He does not
always talk prosperity. which gives
all the more value to what he says
now. Hill made the principal speech

PAYING SUCCESS.

Wilbur Wright said good and a
true thing the other day when he ex-
pressed his conviction that, if money
could produce another Shakespeare or
Tennyson, 100000 would be forth
coming from American men of wealth
in five minutes. It was true enough.
The American millionaire and the Am
erican public would buy Shakespeares
and Millions ready made at million a
head and never bat an eye at the
price.
But We insist that they shall be the
finished product before we pay for
them. The American passion is for sue
cess. 1t is the only thing ii pays big
prices for freely and willingly. The
Wrights found the financial path of
the airship inventor hard to travel UNI
Ill they had stayed in the air an hour
and firted with the birds. They had
TO fly and stay flying before the Am
erican public and the American rich
man grew enthusiastic and reached for
his money bags.
Shakespeare and Milton at a million
apiece would have to be Shakespeare
and Milton beyond the prejudice and
criticism of their time. Neither found
himself affluenl or particularly popu-
ar in his day. They flew all right but
only a few We're interested in literary
airships. 1t remained for a later day
70 put the million dollar price on lit
erature. The copyright of Shake
peare's works if such were possible
today, would sell for 100000
Still, the public and the rich of the
public are doing much. They are put
ting up the money for schools and COL
leges and technical institutes and Of
fering free opportunity. That is prac-
tically all that the public can do until
individual success is achieved. Then
as Wilbur Wright says, there is no
trouble to find the money.

A MILLIONAIRE OPPORTUNITY.

Andrew Carnegie, in a recent state
ment for Golfers, has given to the pub
lie the first accurate list of his library
gifts. Up to December 81, 1908, this list
included 1900 library buildings, scat
tered among the English speaking peo-
standing at the head, with $50 build
angs and EOS branches. toward which
$34,S7a,745 had been contributed. Can
ada stood second in proportion to popu-
lation, with IS buildings and branches,
at cost of s2,059. AS. Then followed,
in order named, England and Wales.
with 500 buildings and 80 branches, at
a cost of s7,S59,555; Ireland with ~
buildings and 81 branches. for S724.61O:
Scotland, with 105 buildings and IS
branches, at cost of S2,O75oS0; and
the British colonies in smaller propor-
ton, all making total outlay of $751;
5s6,s03, including $3.50 5S for college
libraries.
To the question whether he is salts
fed with his gifts Mr. Carnegie SAYS
emphatically that he is He saws it is
not only what library does in a com
nunity that measures It's value but
what it prevents. He refers to the 9th
er pursuits which would occupy read
ers. He declares that free public IL
+I,a
democracy"
And he is right. Carnegie is doing
a marvellous thing with his money
when he multiplies libraries. To read
ds to travel, to converse with the ages.
Nothing more broadens and raises the
mental and moral attitude of a people
than reading. The ignorant are the
most dangerous because from the ig-
norant vice and criminality are most
readily recruited.
Carnegie has done great thing
Another magnificent charity awaits
some Millionaire who desires to per-
petuate his own mortality and render
back to the public an accounting of
his trust. Carnegie has preempted the
library sites but 100000 sites for free
public hospitals are vacant and wait
ing. The hospital which holds open a
welcome door to the very poor in the
minor cities is not too common. Hos
pitals must have funds to maintain
themselves. The need is for fully en-
dowed hospitals. What millionaire

The Vanished Bootiack.

[From the Denver Republican,
Covered it was with a carpet strip,
And studded with nails of brass or
wire;
Back would the wearer of tight boots
tip
While he pulled and tugged with in
creasing ire
And the flush of his wintry cheeks
climbed higher;
But ne'er again shall we pause on
our way
To witness the comedy by the fire
Where is the bootjack Of Grandpa's
day?
The light from the blazing logs shine
bright
On the polished tacks.s as star de-
signed,
And then came the struggle-a short,
sharp fight f
And he, to his slippered ease as
signed, '-,s
Would settle down, with peaceful
mind;
But now where he sat, like a prophet
Is only a hassock-a bargain find
Where is the bootjack of Grandpa's
day?
In case of its loss, what a hue and cry,
Till some one the vanished treasure
brings
And at last. with the forked aid put by
He succumbs to the order: Now
play smoke and rings"
Who is there left to cherish the things
That sparkled of old in the back log S

Mr.. Harriman's talk was given bur-
riedly to collection Of reporters just
before he left for Europe: It was re-
Gently stated by representative Of
the Hartman system that this man
controls 1900 miles Of railway, or six
times across the continent; that these
lines employ $4,000 men: that, in addi-
ton, Hartman directs $4,000 miles Of
steamship lines, making 1900 miles
of transportation in all; that one could
go from New York to Hongkong with
out ever leaving the Hartman lines
and that he could return by another
route OH Hartman lines nearly all the
way. So in the glad conversation that
follows please consider that it Is these
$4,000 miles of transportation that are
doing the talking and not Hartman
himself. Here is what this combina-
ton of trains. steamships and dollars
says with him for a mouthpiece:
1 think we are on a very subatantial
basis. and all that 1t needs to keep us on
top OF the wave Is for the farmer to con-
tinue his liberal development and produc-
ton. The liberal expenditures on the part
of the farmers and their agricultural de-
velopment is to my mind the important
factor in the national situation. u means
the worldwide distribution Of wealth In
the employment OF labor and the pur-
chase Of materials in all lines Of life.
If we have favorable weather and large
crops we chan have correspondiuRly hap
by times You might say that we. shall
have probably q great burst ofsspAcuIa-
ton and a rise in prices OF everything,
and It will graduate down from that to
any point, just in proportion as the crops
are successful.
There should not be anything today to
interfere with Individual industry and ca
pacity, and money does not have any
thing to do with 1t. It is only the evi.
dence of capacity and Of industry.
The next time probably that we have q
serious shrinkage in business will be bs-
cause Of a change In business. The last
shrinlage was on account Of a scare
something that did not happen. Tho next
change will only come about by moro
real condition, such as a. si1rinkaGs Of
our crops. We need not have had that
panic before. and IL We are careful We
need not have another one.

SOARING LAND PRICES.
[Akron Register-Tribune. l

l-AAAA ~ iNGS1S L ElUule.J
There has recently been an exchange
of Plymouth county farm land in this
vicinity which savors much of "fren-
zied finance" so far as rich profits are
concerned. Peter Blum sold his quar-
ter section east of town to man from
Manning for S11O per acre, having
bought it few years ago for SIS; NJ. A.
Agnes sold the fine Stewart half sec
tlon farm, few miles southeast of
here, to Emil Johnson for 500 an acre,
which he paid $50 for a. few months
ago: /. l.. Burnight sold the quarter
south of the stone house farm, south
of town, to Mr.. Burroughs, of Kiron,
for $50 per acre, he having bought it
about month ago for S62 so. Bigger
and quicker profits on farm land would
be difficult to find anywhere, and the
prices will continue to soar.

Enforce the Laws.

Last and noblest conception OF all born

Justice. Tho nation must be true to. that
abstract and impartial justice which Is
the foundation Of nobility, the patent OF
heroes and the final test Of any state.
Upon occasion the lawmaking power has
been invoked not to punish guilt, but to
give one man an unfair advantage at the
cost OF another. to conflscate wholly or In
part property honestly earned and fairly
used, to distinguish between activities by
discriminating laws. The tendency Is by
no means universal, but Its presence Is
palpahle and too dangerous to be ignored.
II hatred. greed or envy instead of JUS
tice ever becomes q formative power in
public affairs, then, no matter who may
be the victim. the act Is treason, for no
state ever enjoyed tranquility or escaped
destruction II it ceased to maintain one
equal and infleXible standard Of justice.
The greatest service to the nation, to ev-
cry state and city, today would be the
substitution for q term Of years Of law
enforcement for lawmakfng. Get the laws
fairly tried, weed out those improper or
tmpracticable, curtail the contempt Of

the people understand that government
means exact and ,unsparing Justice In

ARCHITECTURE OF OUR OWN,

Baron Won eodenhausen Says Sky
serapers Are Developing II Rapidly.
"In ten more years America will have
developed an architecture Of its own,r
prophesies Baron Won Bodenhausen,
one Of the directors Of the Krupp steel
works at Essen. Germany, after sew
eral days spent in inspecting New
York's skyscrapers.
ut is nine years since was In this
country before, and the change Of sky
line impresses me forcibly. When I
was here before the Park Row build
ing was the tallest structure IN the
city. 1t struck me then, as It does now,
as an exceedingly ugly building. quite
impossible-a square mass topped by
two towers that apparently have NO
earthly excuse for being there. I al
ways want to knock them OF, So"
And the baron gave quick, disguised
gesture.
Now return after nine years to see
the Metropolitan Life building. How
different 1t Is, how comparatively COM
plete-the one tall, majestic tower,
directly In the center. front Of the
building. The minute you look at the
structure as whole you realize that
the body Of the building IL necessary
to the tower, just as the tower Is nec-
essary to the body Of the building.
They are part Of each ether, depend
ent upon each other. The first sky.

and stone without apparent reason

ward too much petty detail IN IL archi.

sort Of thing. However, that does not
interfere with the general outlines.
They are improving marveioasiy. and

Of m architecture Of her own
