16 YEARS OF SKIN DISEASE

For sixteen long years I have been
suffering with q bad case Of skin dis
ease. While child there broke out a
red sore on the legs just in back Of
my knees. It waxed from bad to worse.
and at last I saw I had a bad skin
disease. tried many widely known
doctors in different cities but to no
satisfactory result. The plague both
cred me more In warm weather than
in winter and being on my leg joints
II made It impossible for me to walk.
and was forced to stay indoors In the
warmest weather. My hopes of recov-
cry were by this time spent Sleepless
nights and restless days made life an
unbearable burden. At last I was
advised to try the Cuticura remedies
tCuticura Soap. Ointment and Pills1
and did not need more than o trial
to convince me that was on the road
Of success this time. bought two
sets OF the Cuticura Remedies and
after these were gone I was q differ-
ent man entirely. I am now the hap
piest man that there is at least one
true care for skin diseases. Leonard

Every modern civilized nation has many
and terrible problems to solve within Its
own borders, problems that arise not
merely from Juxtaposition of poverty and
riches, but especially from the seif-con-
sciousness of both poverty and riches.
Each nation must deal with these mat
tiers in Its own fashion. and yet the spirit
in which the problem Is approached must
ever be fundamentally the same It
must be a spirit of broad humanity: of
brotherly kindness: Of acceptance of re-
sponsibiiity. one for each and each for
all: and at the same time a spirit as re-
mote as the poles from every form Of
weakness and sentimentaiity. As in war
to pardon the coward is to do cruel
cowardice Jeopardizes. so in civil affairs
II Is revolving to every principle Of
Justice to give to the lazy. the vicious, or
even the feeble and ull-witted, a reward
which Is really the robbery of what
braver wiser. abler men have earned.
The only effective way. to help any man
is to help him to help himself: and the
worst lesson to teach him Is that he can
be permanently helped at the expense of
some one else. True liberty shows itself
to best advantage in protecting the rights
Of others. and especially OF minorities.
Privilege should not be tolerated because
IL is to the advantage of a minority nor
yet because IT Is to the advantage of n
ma aJorIty. No doctrinaire theories of
vested rights or freedom OF contract can
stand In the way OF our cutting out
abuses from the body polite. Just a lit
tie can We afford to follow the doctrtn-
aires of an impossible-and incidentally
of a highly undesirable-social revolution
which. in destroying Individual rights
dncIuding property rights) and the fam
lily. would destroy the two chief agents In

furnishing POOlroOm Basis OF the
g. Governors Action.

A petition asking that the Cum
berland Telephone and Telegraph
Company be enjoined from con-
structipg lines in Indiana or furn-
fishing telephones to patrons in
that State, was fled in the Circuit
Court at Jacksonville, Ind, on
Feb. 10, by Burt New, legal adj
visor to Governor Marshall. The
prayer for the injunction grows
out of the alleged operation of
poolrooms, service for which it is
said was furnished by the Cumber-
land company. An amendment to
the petition was also filed declar-
ing that the operation of a pool
room disturbed the property own
ers in the neighborhood thereby
causing a nuisance.

The Banana.

The banana is one of the curiOsi-
ties of the vegetable kingdom, be-
ing not a tree, a palm, bush, a
shrub, a vegetable Or an herb, but
a herbaceous plant with the status
of a tree. Although it sometimes
attains height of 30 feet, there is
no woody fiber in any part of its
structure. and the punches grow
ing from the dwarf banana plant
are often heavier than the stalk
which supports them. No plant
gives such a quantity of food to
the acre as the banana; it yields a
times more by weight than the po-
tato and 1873 times more than
wheat. Moreover, no insect Will
attack it.-LondOn Chronicle.

The new canal is 1000 miles

BurIey Growers Across The
Ohio,

Plans are being made to push
the work of pooling the Burley
tobacco crop of Ohio and to add
several counties of that State TO
the territory now controlled by
the Burley Tobacco Company.
Plans for the organization of
the Ohio tobacco raisers were
made when w. II. Patterson, of
Pike county, o., and President
Clarence LeBus, of the Burley So
ciety, held a long conference in
Lexington, KY, on February 16.
Mr.. Patterson is a prominent
farmer in his county, and owns
several extensive farms, on which
he grows Burley tobacco in large
quantities. He told Mr.. LeBus
that the farmers in Ohio were
anxious to join any pool which
would increase their earning ca
pacity.

man of the Democratic Nationa
Committee. has a son, Tommy
Jr., who recently was graduated
from one of the Eastern colleges
1t is understood young Taggart
is going to be a hotel man like his
father.
A few years ago the Taggari
family were discussing the ques-
ton of what line of work the
young man should pursue when he
left college, and Tommy, then a
youth of fifteen, said he wanted to
be hotelkeeper.
"All right" said Mr.. Taggart,
you'll have TO begin in the kitch-
en- and work up to the front"
That will suit me-" replied the
boy, you can make stable boy
out of me if you want to, but I'll
bet you l won't be there long.

The presence of a Yale graduate
in the kitchen of the French Lick

His HOgShip A DCIiCaCy at Pres
ent Price.

1t looks as if those who have
been abstaining from meat on ac-
count of high prices and from
choice will have many accessions
to their ranks in the not remote
future.
Plain old hog meat that used to
be considered common everyday
substantial meat for the hard
working man is on the high road
to the ranks of Injuries.
Nine dollars is a magnetic price
to the farmer, but it seems that
the farmer has not the hogs and
furthermore that he is not likelv
to have them for many month.
The farmer has been getting a
fancy price for his corn and has
been neglecting hogs.
This is not the only country in
which the crop of hogs is short.
According to the Government re-
ports there is a falling off in the
supply in Canada, United King
dom and Australia Of 123 per
cent. or over million hogs as
compared With last year,
