For Selfish Pecuniary Gains.

Representative BoutelIe, of Chi.
cago, states that the charge that
the Payne bill has raised prices has
it's origin in three causes-ignor'
ance, political prejudice and
pecuniary seIf-intercst He gives
these examples of self-interest:
A few weeks ago some lumber
dealers met in Western city and
said they must regretfulIy raise
the price of common boards Oh ac-
of the Payne tariff. Think of it!
They must raise the price from 50
cents to 81 a thousand on account
of the tariff, when the same law
reduced the tariff on common
boards Is cents II thousand, and
these men meet in convention and
attempt to deceive and bunco and
hoodwink the people. 1t was the
same way in reference to hides.
Hides We're pat on the free list,
but all kinds of shoes have gone up
on the wholesale market, and not
Il single reduction is given in
''Dun's Review" Then the wool
Ell dealers got together and said
they must raise the price of wool
on account of the Payne tariff, but
there was not in the Payne act one
change made in the wool Or wool
en- schedule except two minor ones,
and both of these were reductions.
These instances sound like the
tricks that were attempted under
the Mckinley bill in the same way
and show how men who have
pecuniary sclf-interests at stake
are going to attempt to discredit
the Payne tariff law for selfish,
pecuniary gain.-Freeport (llI.)

The Stocking Bank Unsafe.

robbery. 1t was generally known
that she was afraid to deposit her
money in II bank, being distrust

it was presumed that she carried
large amount of money with her
continually. By so doing she in

Prosperous Uncle Sam.

Like the railroads and the great
industrial corporations and like the
vast majority of small business
concerns. the Federal Government
is enjoying a great increase in in
come and is finding it much easier
to keer its outgo down nearly to
the limits of its receipts. There is
a fair chance that the bulance will
soon be ON the right side.
The growth of the national reve
nues is many sided. 1t is greatest
in the customs receipts, but it is
large in internal taxes, especially
on spir;tuous liquors There is Il
remarkable gain, likewise, in post
office income.
The indications are that the is
cal year which ends with June will
close with only IL small deficit, by
comparison with the figures for
the preceding year. The actual
difference between revenues and
expenditures may be reduced t'
almost nothing. At the end OF
March it was only about $12, 900,

The Great Specialist.

years ago, there was born cele

wonderful that all the world stood

still, this eminent healer's services

the strangest is that, while the
great physician still exists and
while his treatment continues to be
absolutely free, thousands of nerv-

mother. She had brought with her
her girl baby, ten months old, and

In the city, and at five o'clock he
would call for and take her home.
Mr.. Congdon was a young man, but
ne understood babies. He knew that
they should be held head downward
that they should be given father
ly finger to bite when they cried. and
that tickling the bottoms of their feet
when they had the collie was 8 certain

That was the finest baby in the
state Of Pennsylvania. The father,
the mother, the grandmother, Aunt
Ethel and all the neighbors at the
Congdon suburban home said SO.
Realizing, young as she was. that
she would be kept awake at night
when her sparkling days came, she
got as much infant sleep as possible.
Mrs. Huntington, the grandmother,
had very little to do with the baby.
It was her duty to recommend sage
tee and catnip mixture and mild
mustard plasters and to declare that
the baby looked justs like its father.
Having done this. her duties were
ended.
Ethel Huntington, Mrs. Congdon's

aunt at that age. Some of the girls

BABY'S SCALP cRUSTED

Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was SO severe that
she could not rest, day or night We
had about given up all hopes when we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, q
box Of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie Of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol.
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose Of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came OF her
head and new hair began to grow. In
very short time she was we'll. She Is
now sixteen years Of age and a pic
ture Of health. We used the Cuti-
cura Remedies about five weeks, reg
ularly, and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatment after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M.

NEWSPAPERS TAKING 1T UP
Metropolitan DaiIies Giving Advice
How to Check rheumatism and
Kidney Trouble.

This is a simple home recipe now
being made known in all the larrer
cities through the newspapers. It is
intended to check the many cases OF
Rheumatism and dread kidney trouble
which have made SO many cripples,
invalids and weaklings Of some OF our
brightest and strongest people.
The druggists everywhere, even In
the smallest communities, have been
notified to supply themselves with the
ingredients, and the sufferer will have
no trouble to obtain them. The pre-
scription is as follows: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce, and Compound
Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle. The
dose is one teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
Recent experiments in hospital
cases prove this simple mixture eft.
fective in Rheumatism. Because OF
Its positive action upon the elimina-
tive tissues of the kidneys, It compels
these most vital organs to filter from
Ithe blood and system the waste i'm
purities and uric acid which are the
cause of rheumatism. It cleanses the
kidneys, strengthens them and re-
moves quickly such symptoms as
backache, blood disorders, bladder
weakness, frequent urination, painful
scalding and discolored urine. It acts
an q gentle, thorough regulator to the
entire kidney structure.
Those who suffer and are accus
toned to purchase bottle OF medf

venierce interfere with making this
