OF ITCH IN
WELSH VILLAGE

"In DowIais. South Wales. about
fifteen years ago. families were stricken
wholesale by a disease known as the
itch. Believe me. it is the most terrible
disease Of its kind that l know Of, as
it itches all through your body and
makes your life an inferno. Sleep is
out Of the question and you feel as il a
million mosquitoes were attacking you
at the same time. / knew a dozen
families that were so affected.
"The doctors did their best but their
remedies were Of no avail whatever.
Then the families tried a chemist who
was noted far and wide for his remark
able cures, but his medicine made mat
tiers still worse. AS q last resort they
were advised by a friend TO use the
Cuticura Remedies. | am glad to tell
you that after few days treatment
with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Re-
solvent. the effect was wonderful and
the result was a perfect cure in all
cases. Thomas Hugh, 1850 w. Huron

easily detected by the hot breath and

HON. W. A. JONES HERE
His Views on The Political Situation.

Congressman w. A. Jones was in the
city Sunday en- route home from hot
Springs where he attended the Bar AS
ISOLATION meeting. He left here by
steamer Sunday afternoon. d,
Asked for his views on the political
situation, Congressman Jones stated
that only two districts in the State are
in doubt, the Fifth and Ninth.
Mr.. Jones thinks that Congressman
Saunders will be reelected in the Fifth.
He says the Elections Committee OF
the House reported in favor Of Parsons
in the contest, he thinks, TO enable him
to be a candidate again. he says no
well informed member of Congress be-
lieves that Saunders will be unseated,
but it is thought that the report of the
Elections Committee was made IN favor
of Parsons at the instance OF the he
publican Congressional Committee, TO
help Parsons in the election this year:
Mr.. Jones says he had no personal
knowledge Of conditions in Ninth dis
tricts. but he met at Hot Springs a
number of lawyers from that district
who expressed confidence in the ability
of Mr.. Stuart to redeem the district.
Mr.. Jones says there have been more
new Democratic registrations for the
coming election than there were Demo
cratic voters previous in many OF the
counties. He does not believe that there
will be many changes among the old
voters but the result depends largely on
the floating vote and is in favor Of the
Democrats on account Of the increased
Democratic registration.
AS to national politics Mr.. Jones
thinks the next House will be Demo
cratic. He says this prospect does not
seem TO worry the Republicans leaders,
as they prefer TO have the House Dem
ocratic than seeing the insurgents hold
the balance of power. Mr.. Jones thinks
Mr.. Cannon will not be the next speaker
Of the House.
Asked if he expected to be opposed
this year by the Republicans, Mr.. Jones
saws he has no knowledge Of any op-
position to his election at this time. II
Is believed that the Republicans Will not
make a nomination in this district tins
