becomes contaminated and polluted. A long spell of few CT, or other sickness, breeds disease germs in the system; the failure of natures elimi- native members to remove the waste and refuse matters of the body, the excessive use of minerals in certain diseases, infected wounds, bites and stings of insects, etc, all con- taminate the blood with mor- bid matter and germs which sooner or later manifest their presence by a sore or ulcer which refuses to heal under the ordinary treatment of To- cal applications.
 External treatment can nev- ercure a chronic sore or ulcer, because it does not reach the blood. The place will remain open as long as it is used as a drainage for the impurity which is in the blood, and in addition to the worry and anxiety caused by an old sore, there is always danger of its becoming cancerous, if a cure is nots effected.

CREAMERY EMPLOYEES ARE
ARRESTED FOR LARCENY
c. A. Cherry and II. G. Faublan Give
Ball of 500 In Police Court
and Are Released

charged with stealing cream from
tie Crescent Creamery company, q. A.
Cherry, manager of the Chicago
Creamery company formerly a milk
inspector, and H. G, Faubian, driver
employed by the Crescent company
were arraigned in Police Judge Fred
erickson's court yesterday on charges
of petit larceny preferred by 5. A. w.
Carver, manager of the Crescent
Creamery company. The accused asked
for time to plead and were allowed un-
til today to enter pleas. Each furnished
500 cash bail and was released.
According to Carver, the thefts OF
six-gallon cans of cream have been
going on for nearly a month, during
which time, he declares, the company
has lost almost 5000 worth of cream.
"Faubian Is employed as driver,
said Carver. "As an employe, he has
free access to all parts of the plant.
He took advantage of his privileges
and during the night would enter the
room where the cream is kept and take
a six-gaIlon can. Then he would carry
1t to a certain place and leave 1t, and
Cherry would meet him or come along
later and obtain the can. We suspect
ed him some time ago and put four
men to watch the place. These men
have been following him each night or
morning for the last two weeks and
witnessed the thefts of the cream and
it's delivery to Cherry"
Owing to the fact that only six gal
Ions of cream, valued at S1.10 a gal
lon, was stolen at one time, a charge
of petty larceny was issued against the
accused.

1.-THE east is automobile race mad,
Hempel said yesterday. Despite the
casualties so frequently reported and
the action of certain auto manufac-

these big meets, the interest continues
unabated. One week after the fatal

papers of the surrounding states were
declaring automobile racing had been
killed, we pulled off two meets, one at
Erie and one at Lima. N Y, that were
more largely attended than any SINH

MEXICAN MERCHANT WILL
BE TRIED IN NATIVE LAND
Federal Judge Refuses to Honor Writ
of Habeas Corpus for Alleged
Faisifier

After lengthy arguments before
Judge Wellborn in the federal court
yesterday In the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings brought by Eduardo Ramirez,
a former commission merchant at Mo-
gales, Mexico, charged by the Mexican
government with falsifying weight
certificates and who Is fighting eX-
tradition to Mexico, having been re-
manded to that country by Commis-
sioner Van Dyke, Judge Wellborn re-
fused the writ, upheld the decision of
the commissioner and remanded Rami-
rez back to Mexico for trial.
The case is a tangled one. Some
time ago Ramirez was arrested on a
similar charge in Arizona. He fought
extradition, and when remanded back
to Mexico for trial he appealed the
case to the United States supreme
court and was released under bonds
of $4,000 to await a decision. Later
he was arrested and arraigned before
Commissioner Van Dyke, who decided
the accused should be removed to
Mexico. Ramirez then swore out a
writ of habeas corpus and the argu-
ments were held in Judge Wellborn's S
court yesterday.
The accused asked that he be re-
leased under bonds and the hearing
on this matter was set for Wednes-
day, when arguments will be heard.
