CURTIS KANSAS
Senator's Important Part i'm
Tariff Legislation.
Acted as Republican Whip in
Upper House.
GOOD TIMES ARE HERE
Washington Calls Attention to
This Fact. ge1
Postal Receipts Show a Healthy
Increase.
9OOD TIMES ARE HERE

Washington, D. c.. Aug. lit is
not generally known, nor even in
Washington outside of the senate,
that Senator Curtis of Kansas acted
as Republican whip" in the recent
tariff session of congress. The. gen
eral impression in all quarters was
that Senator Crane of Massachusetts
had been appointed for this duty, and
he was in consequence given credit
by the press as the man who not only
lined up senators for the A1drich bill,
but kept the organization posted
daily on how the membership stood
on the various items under con-
sideration.
Mr. Curtis is the man who did this
arduous work and should receive due
and proper credit. He was appointed
temporary whip for the special session
by Senator Crane. chairman of the
rules committee. with consent of Sem
ators AIdrich and Hale.
To be made the party whip of
either the senate or house is. indeed,
a high honor to be conferred any
member. 1t is a recognition OF
marked ability of leadership. Mr.
Curtis was selected as this function
airy in the senate because he was well
known as a good mixer and has
capacity for lots of hard work which
this particular office calls for. 1t was
his duty to feel the individual pulse
of the senate on every tariff item and
amendment of particular importance
and incidentally do whatever MISSION
ary work was possible. He d1d the
work, and did it well.
An official of the senate is authority
for the statement that the poIIs mace
by Curtis were always correct and
shown to be so when the votes were
taken; that the voluntary polls made
by other senators proved unreliable
and not correct. The organization OF
the senate he said, always took the
polls made by Mr. Curtis and acted
accordingly.
In this work Senator Curtis made
a record-a record which places him
firmly within the inner circles OF the
senate organization This means that
the senior senator from Kansas can
have what he wants from the senate
managers. In other words, he has
now become a power for his state ana
can get through the senate Whatever
legislation he may see fit to urge 1t
has been many years since Kansas
held such an enviable place of in
f1uence in the upper branch OF con-
gress-
IT is now generally conceded that
Mr.. Curtis will be designated as the

IF IT DISAPPEARS, IT'S ECZEMA
How to Tell Whether Skin Affection
Is an Inherited Blood Disease
or Not

Sometimes it is hard to determine
whether skin affection is a sign of a
blood. disorder or simply form of
eczema Even physicians are often
puzzled in their diagnosis. The best
way for any one afflicted is to go to
the Rosser Drug Co, 523 Kansas ave-
nue., or any good druggist who han
dies pure drugs and obtain so cents
worth of poslam. Apply this, and if
the itching stops at once and the
trouble is cured in a few days it may
be set down as having been eczema, as
this is the way poslam acts in the
worst cases of eczema, and in curing
acne, herpes, blotches, letter, piles,
salt rheum, rash, BARRIERS and other
forms of itch, scaly scalp, and all sur
face skin affections.

gency Laboratories, No. 80 West
