BRYAN FOR COUNTY OPTION
Hurled UItimatum at Brother Demo-

an OIigarchy Based ON Beer.

LINCOLN, Neb.-''We have no
fight before us. l have decided what
l am going to do. Those who may
want to come with me may come
Those who want to stay at home,
stay"
With these words William J. Bry-
an closed one of the most dramatic
speeches of his career at the demo-
cratic county convention today He
spoke in support of a positive decla-
ration for county option, and at the
conclusion of his speech his plank
was adopted by an overwhelming ma
jority.
K. H. Hartley, postmaster of Lin
coin under Grover Cleveland, opposed
Bryan. On July 26th Bryan will go
to Grand Island, where he will fight
for the adoption of a county plank
by the state convention. A bitter
contest is expected. Bryan hurled
defiance at Congressman Hitchcock,
democratic candidate for senator. 1t
was apparent, he said, that the dem
ocratIc party must take a stand on
the question. He thanks his friends
for their former political support, as
sured the democrats that he only
wanted to be of service to the people
of the state in Kidding Nebraska of
an 'oligarchy based on beer" and
then made his declaration concerning
his future policy.

adopted by vote of 1874 to 81. The

AN INT0i-ERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago, some form of humor appeared on my scalp. The beginning was slight itching but 1t grew steadily worse until, when I combed my hair, the scalp became raw and the ends of the comb-teeth would be wet with blood. Most of the time there was an intolerable itching, in a painful, burning way, very much as bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch and smart when first beginning to heal. Bombing my hair was positive torture. My hair was long and tan gled terribly because of the blood and scabs. This continued growing worse and over half my hair fell out. I was in despair, really afraid of becoming totally bald.
 Sometimes the pain was so great that, when partially awake, would scratch the worst places so that my finger-tips would be bloody. l could not sleep well and, after being asleep a short time, that awful stinging pain would commence and then l would wake up nearly wild with the torture A neighbor said it must be salt rheum Having used Cuticura Soap merely as a toilet soap before, l now decided to order a set Of the Cuticura Remedies -CCticura Soap, Ointment and Pills. I used them according to directions for perhaps six weeks. then left off, as the disease seemed to be eradi- cated. but toward spring, eighteen months ago, there was slight re- turn of the scalp humor. con- menced the Cuticura treatment at once, so had very little trouble. On my scalp I used about one half cake of Cuticura Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment in all. The first time l took six or seven bottles of Gu ticura Pills and the last time three bottles-neither an expensive or te- dious treatment Since then I have had no scalp trouble of any kind. Standing up, with my hair unbound. it comes to my knees and had it not been for Cuticura I should doubtless be wholly bald

place in Delaware, centering in and around Wilmington. little group of women in that city, headed by Miss Emily P. Bissell, who was allied both with the Red Cross and the Anti.Tu- berculOsis society, instituted the plan of selling Christmas stamps. the funds to be devoted to the local fight against consumption. The idea had come from Denmark. How the pennies ac- cumulated in that first sale, And how the dollars grew,
 That experiment started the Amer ican Red Cross to thinking, and they reasoned that here was a war against a more devastating disease than any war or pestilence that had ever been known. Why not have an emergency relief fund for use in this war In all parts of the United States. since the enemy was everywhere? The idea of national stamp was therefore launched in 1908. and with little or no organization. over s135,000 was raised for the fight against tuberculosis.
 In 1909 a more systematic attempt to organize the sale was made per ccntage of 20 per cent. was charged by the American Rc1 cross to each To. cal agent selling stamps, the sales az. aggregating fully s250,000 What is even greater, this sale was the means of interesting in the war on consump. tion thousands of people who had never before given this subject their attention.
 The outlook for 1910 Is extremely bright The sale will be organized before Christmas to a greater or less degree in almost every state in the Union. "A Million for Tuberculosis" is the slogan of the campaign. AL ready 25.Q00,000 stamps have been is- sued and every indication points to the sale of four times that number
 The United States postoffce authori, ties have requested that the stickers be called seals this year, and have ordered that they be placed on the back of letters and packages instead of on the face. These seals will not carry any mail. but every kind 0. mail will carry them.
 Every man, woman and child in the United States can help fin this war. It is not war that demands much sac rifce. Surely, anyone can give a cent, a nickel or a dime for a few Red Cross seals. Each seal placed on letter or a package helps the one who sends 1t. 1t helps the one who receives 1t. and also the unknown one for whom fl helps to provide a chance for life and death. Every seal will become a bul- let directed at the enemy whose con quest Is desired. and all the money is used in the place where the seals are sold.

The scheme was hfst instituted in Boston in 1862 at the united States Sanitary fair, but so successful was the idea that other iairs in Brooklyn, Stamford and Springfield, Mass. at once adopted is Hundreds of thousands of dollars were raised in this way.
 80 popular, however, did the stamp become, that the public became sati. ated, and soon after the war the sale or stamps for charitable purposes fell into disuse in this country. In F1rona the charity stamp was adopted in Por- tugal for the first time in 1892. and has been initiated with varying success in almost every country on the continent and even in Australia and the Orient.
 It was war that again brought the stamp into national prominence in the United States, but not war of guns and of fields of carnage. It was a war Of enlightenment against ignorance; a war of cleanliness on filth; war of health against disease-the great American war against tuberculosis. While the Civil war, with it's slaugh. ter and death, killed about 200.000 gov ernment troops in four years. and maimed perhaps twice that number. every year that silent. subtle foe. tu- bereulosis, stays 200Q00, and lays low three to five times that number. A War. therefore, against such an eu- emy demanded and still demands am intuition and varied resources. To furnish these necessary supplies for war, the Red Cross stamp was first launched on a national basis by the American Red Cross in 1908.
