for the manufacture of aeroplanes. 1t
is about 40 per cent. lighter than
aluminium, and is nothing more than
an alloy of magnesium with small
quantities of aluminium and iron. The
drawback to the cork metal" is that
it reacts chemically with hot water,

In a statement which he issued
Thursday Mr. Lcngworth declares that

for the last time and that when the
proper time comes, namely the meet

assembling of the next congress he
will oppose Uncle Joe to that position.

he says" that Cannon cannot be again

Congressional Committee Exonerates
Vlce-President and Senator Curtis
in Indian Land Probe.

Sulphur, Okla.-The select commit
tee which was appointed by the house
of representatives to investigate In
dian land affairs and the so-called
McMurray contracts and which also
has been investigating the Gore bri-
berry charges issued the following
statement:
"The committee has heard and care
fully considered all the testimony sub
mitted and is unanimous in the opin-
ion that there is and was no warrant
for any person to use the names of
Vice-President Sherman and Senator
Charles S. Curtis in connection with
any improper relations with any In
dian contract whatever"
This is the opinion Of the commit
tee after hearing scores of witnesses
who appeared following the testimony
of Senator T. P. Gore that he had been
approached by Jake L. Hamon, who,
acting in the interest of J. F. McMur-
ray, offered him (Senator Gore) $685.

in congress the contracts by which
McMurray was to receive ten per
cent. attorneys fee on the sale Of $780,

LARGE AND SMALL FAMILIES.

Where the population is largely agri'
cultural and isolate5, and where labor
is scarce, the husbandman is proud to
raise a large family, for the boys In
time will help to lift the labor from his
shoulders, and also there is always
plenty Of work for the girls to do about
the farm. Moreover, food is plentiful
and other desires are few. But no such
stimulus for a large family exists in
urban life, where it is often necessary
to live in fiat, the very limitations OF
which point to the inadvisability OF
numerous progeny, says Indianapolis
Star. Moreover, as the individual
rises in the social scale former desires
become present needs. The coming of
numerous children would mean the
sacrifice Of these needs by the parents,
the descent to q lower standard of liv-
Ding, and the parents will not consent.
Finally science has shown that a
small family well taken care of makes
a better showing in future generations
than a large family poorly looked
after. The fewer children of the we'll
provided-for family will actually show
a more numerous progeny in the third
generation than will the underfed and
neglected children of the larger family.
Eugenics is big question, and con-
scientious investigation of it will con-
vince anyone that dogmatic assertion
in that field is a hazardous perform
ance. 1t is a general rule in biology
that species with the most numerous
offspring are those that bring fewest
perfect and efficient individuals to ma
turity.

KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-
Unable lives have been embittered
and social and business success pre-
vented by serious skin affections
which so often result from the neglect
Of minor eruptions in infancy and
childhood. With but a little care and
the use of the proper emollients, baby's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri-
fed and beautified, minor eruptions
prevented from becoming chronic and
torturing, distlguring rashes, feelings,
irritations and chafings dispelled.
To this end, nothing is so pure, so
sweet, so speedily effective as the con-
slant use of Cuticlra Soap, assisted,
when necessary, by Cuticura Ointment.

five citizens were burned to death in
their homes as a result of forest fires
which for sixty days have terrified
the Occur d'Alene country and which
spread to the town of Wallace, the

More than a third of Wallace is
burned. The Pacific, Michigan and
Occur d'Alene hotels, two o. r. & N.

$50 to 200 residences are destroyed.
The town is almost dark by day and

Ashes fill the air and the heat Is
tremendous. Telegraphic communica-
