A BURNING ERUPTION FROM
HEAD TO FEET

-Four years ago l suffered severely
with terrible eczema, being mass
of sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time l suffered continual torture
from itching and burning. After being
given up by my doctor l was advised
to try Cuticura Remedies. After the
first bath with Cuticura Soap and APP
plication of Cuticura Ointment | en-
joyed the first good sleep during my
entire Illness. | also used Cuticura
Resolvent and the treatment was con-
tinued for about three weeks At the
end Of that time l was able to be
about the house, entirely cured, and
have felt no i'll effects since. | would
advise any person suffering from any
form of skin trouble to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies, as | know what they
did for me. Mrs. Edward Nenning,

MAN THAT THE CROOKS SEEK
The UnscrupuIous One Who Wants
Something for Nothing Is Their
Legitimate Prey.

One is forced into a sort of sneak
ing respect for crook like "Big
Jack" Strosneider, who got the iron
Jacket the other day for alleged COM
plicity in the swindle of Coleman, the
thieving bank clerk, by big Bill" Kel-
liner. Strosneider is on the level in
his crookedness. He makes swindling
a profession. Sure" he said, not
long before his arrest, Il am on the
cross. But If there were ever legiti-
mate crook, I'm the boy. | give to my
profession the same study that an up
to-date physician does to his. | have
correspondents in at least four Eu-
ropean capitals, and they keep me
posted on new and ingenious devices
to separate the sucker from his quilt.
"And the European swindler is
past master where we are babes. Most
of our schemes are cooked-over vari-
ations of methods the downtrodden
tin horn of an effete monarchy has
cast aside. You see, the cops over
there are fast workers, and man has
to get it in a hurry if he wants to en-
joy life. And over there the govern
ments toss a gentleman of my profes-
sion in a cell and forget him for
eight years before he gets to trial
and If he proves he's innocent the
best he gets is a chance to beat 1t
over the boundaries. l keep a card
index of suckers, for man who has
fallen once will fall harder the second
time, if he has any kale left. And
rather pride myself on my ingenuity.
If / find a crook, I'll land him, four
times out of five"
IF you find a crook?" asked the
other party wonderingly.
Sure" said Strosneider. "You don't
think crook can rob an honest man,
do you-unless he swings mace? It's
the guy who wants something for
nothing that is fish in the pan"

1t Is a Mistake

Many have the idea that anything
will sell if advertised strong enough.
This is a great mistake. True, a
few sales might be made by advertis-
ing an absolutely worthless article but
it is only the article that is bought
again and again that pays. An ex-
ample of the big success of a worthy
article is the enormous sale that has
grown up for Cascarets Candy Cathar-
tic. This wonderful record is the result
of great merit successfully made known
through persistent advertising and the
mouth-to-mouth recommendation given
Cascarets by its friends and users.
Like all great successes, trade pi-
rates prey on the unsuspecting public,
by marketing fake tablets similar in
appearance to Carcarets. Care should
always be exercised in purchasing well
advertised goods. especially an article
that has a national sale like Cascar-
cts. Do not allow a substitute to be
palmed off on you.

The Utility of Airships.

Only a short time ago the skeptics
said man could never navigate the air
Now they are saying that airships
will be useful only in war.
The wise man will refrain from ma
king pessimistic predictions. The
progress in aerial navigation has
been so rapid that we need not be as
tonished to hear any day of the in
corporation of a real air line of trans
portation.
Hamiltons achievement recently,
that of Curtiss a few days ago, the
transchannel exploits of Frenchmen
and Englishmen. as well as the sue
cesses Of other sailors Of the at
mospheric sea, are assurances that
aerial navigation will one day be as
safe mode Of travel and transporta-
tion as transit by iand or sea.

COUNTRY'S WEALTH IN OIL
Industry That Has Grown to Enor-
n1ous proportions Within Few
Years.

The production of oil in the United
States has grown from nothing at the
time of its discovery to enormous pro-
portions. Millions of barrels have been
taken from the country near the west
ern slope of the Alleghenies in west
ern Pennsylvania, and millions more
from the districts in West Virginia
and Ohio. Indiana has yielded it's
share and Illinois has been productive
beyond The dreams of avarice.
1t remained, however, for Kansas
and Oklahoma, together with the In
dian Territory, to open the eyes of the
modern driller and capitalists. When
the soil was first tapped in the wild
eating operations of that section
great gushers rewarded the efforts of
the men who had the courage and cap
ital to engage in the enterprise. The
usual rush followed, but many thou
sands of acres had been already taken
UP and the war for supremacy began.

Makers of Homes.

In trying to get hold of the salient
characteristics of Alexandra, now
called the Queen Mother by her own
wish, and Queen Mary, upon whose
shoulders the royal mantle worn by
Alexandra for nine years now falls,
the curious fact presents itself that
they have almost no existence outside
the role Of mother and housewife
That is. whatever distinction they
have attained has been through being
devoted mothers, splendid home-ma-
kers, companions to their husbands
when companionship was desired of
them, and conservers always of the
name they took in marriage.
While the English people have loved
her, their feeling Is nearer reverence
than fellowship. She has stood alone
IN little world OF her own, aureoled
by pure goodness.
Perhaps the fact that she is more
than slightly deaf has caused this
separateness from human foibles. Per
haps il has saved her pain. too, for
people may whisper. but they will not
shout about scandal
Alexandria is a lover OF horses and
dogs, particularly dogs At one time
she was jhe champion woman tandem
driver Of England. She adores music
and flowers. In Edwards dead hands
she folded one white rose before ne
was shut forever from the world.
The queen who succeeds Alexandra
on the throne, Mary. Is the first Brit
tsh consort that has sat on the throne
Of England for hundreds OF years.
While resembling Alexandra ia the

home and children-she gives every
promise OF being a more aggressive

business OF WOmanhood that the mod
ern world has seen.
Not that publicly chastising naugh-
ty child is of itself an index of the
right sort of motherhood, by any
means. But in these particular cir
cumstances it certainly was. For it
served to show the entire world that
the queen of Great Britain and en-
press of all India put nothing, not
even royal decorum, above the busi-
ness of motherhood.
She did not, as many mothers might
have done, allow the offender to keep
on in his evil course until the royal
parade was at an end, and then get
down to maternal first principles.
Nor did she loftily wave him out of
sight, as we fondly imagine all kings
and queens may, when brought face
to face with an unpleasantness of
whatsoever sort.
Instead, she spanked sonny with her
own right royal hand.
The act was simple, human and
Illuminating even if jar to that Eng
lish hallmark of good breeding, deadly
composure under all circumstances.
Queen Victoria set the example of
supreme maternalness at a time when
to be motherly and domestically in
clined was not considered in the best
OF social form. Queen Alexandra after
her and now Queen Mary. continue to
make a fashion of it, as much as any
thing can be made a fashion of, that

w. C. Crone, a juror.
Crone is in reality the man who
decided the physicians fate. Until
Saturday night Crone and S. R. John
son, farmer from Sibley. Mo-, held
out for acquittal against the rest of
the jury. Remembering DR.. Hyde's
demeanor on the stand, Mr.. Crone
finally decided the accused man was
guilty and voted for conviction. He
then convinced Mr.. Johnson, making
the verdict unanimous.
'Dr. Hyde was his own worst en-
emy," said Mr.. Crone last night. His
own testimony convicted him.
when DR.. Hyde said he had
bought cyanide for 10 years and yet
could not remember where he bought
it, he damned himself as a witness.
If he had not testified as he did,
think he would not be in the posi-
tion he is.
"At first 1 believed Hyde innocent
and until Sunday night 1 voted to
acquit him. Then l recalled his tes-
timony about his cyanide purchases
and l decided he was guilty. 1 told

and 1 talked about my decision.

Philadelphia, May 1.-THE board of

church, through it's secretary, Bishop
L. B. Wilson, last night issued an Off
cial statement which had been pre-
pared by the board at its meeting in
Chicago on May 9, relative to the Ital-

outcome of the recent controversy in
Rome caused by the visit of Colonel
Roosevelt The statement follows:

Washington, May 17.-AWhen the
senate met today Cummins' amend
ment to the railroad bill that suits
be brought against the interstate
commerce commission rather than
against the government, as is provid-
ed in the administration bill, was
pending. Several propositions look
ing to a compromise were made in
vain. owing to the obstinacy of the
insurgents. Later the regulars held
a conference and decided a compro-
mise with the insurgents impossible.
