Red Cross Christmas Seals.

Arrangements for the sale Of Red
Cross Christmas Seals for 1910 have
been announced by the National AS
sociation for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis and the Ameri-
can Red Cross. "A Million for Tuber-
~culosis" will be the slogan of the 1910
campaign. Two features of the sale
this year are unique and will bring
considerable capital to the tuberculo-
sis fighters. The American National
Red Cross Is to issue the stamps as in
former years, but this organization
will work in close cooperation with
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, which
body will share in the proceeds of the
sales. The charge to local associa-
tons for the use of the national
stamps has been reduced also from 20
per cent. to 12k per cent, which will
mean at least $4,000 nor for tuber-
culosis work in all parts of the United
States. The stamps are to be desig-
mated as Red Cross Seals this year
and are to be placed on the back Of
letters instead of on the front.

LLOYD w. BOWERS Is DEAD.
United States Solicitor General Dies
Suddenly


Suddenly
Boston, Mass. - United States So
licitor General Lloyd w. Bowers died
here of complications arising from an
attack of bronchitis.
Death came suddenly while he was
talking with his family. Mrs. Bow
ers, a son and the nurse were present.
The family had been staying at the
Hotel Touraine in this city a fort
night. The solicitor general was 81
years old.
Bowers was born at Springfield,
Mass. He was admitted to the bar in
June, 1882, and Immediately took a
desk in the offices of Chamberlain,
Carter & Hornblower in New York
city. He soo won a junior partner
ship with former Chief Justice VIII
son of Minnesota. In Minnesota he
had a general practice and later moved
to Chicago where in June, 1885, he
became the head of the legal depart
ment of the Chicago and Northwest
ern railroad. During his 16 years
connection with that road it is said
that no charges, technical or other.

TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE

"Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be a few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the I'M
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top OF her
head there appeared a heavy scab q
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small a baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. I'm
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining a little skin which would peel
of and heal underneath. Now the
baby Is four months old. She is q nne
picture OF a fat little baby and all
Is well. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes Of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss-

BAD FIRE IN r
Business District Has Loss of $75,.

Fargo, Sept. 10.-Fire, which start
ed in the laundry of Pierre's cafe on
Broadway, in the center of the bust
ness district, at 2 O'Clock in the morn
ing, did damage estimated at $4,000
before firemen had it under control.
The cafe, confectionery and delicates-
sen were soon a roaring furnace and
fires began breaking out in adjoining
structures.
The Fargo National Bank block and
the Broadway cigar store were among
the first to be razed. The flames then
spread to the law Offices of Anheir,
Ripper & Carpenter, the Columbia
Lang company, the Meyrs Tailoring
company and to the law Offices of Col.
Douglas and City Attorney Shure on
Northern Pacific avenue, all of which
we're totally destroyed. The real

rooms, are also a total loss.

correspondence the report says:
%ealIInoer's Honor Impusred.
His connection with these matters
does not indicate that standard of pro-
fessional honor to be expected from
one of the presidents immediate ad-
visors. Internationally the most seri-
GUS and compromising was his connec-
ton with the Cunningham claims. We
know from himself that he recognized
this fact early and very clearly and
considered it, to say the least, quite
embarrassing.
Had Mr.. Ballinger the moral or
ethical right to receive fees or perform
claims against the government? While
he vas in the government employ re-
ceiving emoluments for protecting its
rights he was in a certain sense Its
attorney in these matters.
Had he the moral or professional
side of the case? We unhesitatingly
say he had not: that his conduct was
not up to the required professional
standard and is reprehensible. We are
also Of the opinion that he probably
knew that the Cunningham affidavit
which he prepared and submitted to
Secretary Garfield was essentially
false as to material matters.
Despite the testimony Of Secretary
Ballinger to the contrary the commit
tee finds that he accepted a fee for
his services though yelled under an
other name.
MI. Madison, in his report. practi-
cally repeats the Democratic findings
and sums up as follows:
First, that the charges made by
l.. R. CLAWS against Secretary Balm
ger should be sustained; that in the
matter of the disposition Of the Cum
bingham coal lands Mr.. Ballinger was
no a faithful trustee of the interests
of the people and did not perform his
duty in such name as to properly
protect such interests.
Second, that the charges made by
Mr.. Pinchot should be sustained; that
Mr.. Ballinger's course in the admins.
tratlOn or the department or the In
terror has been characterized by a lack
of fidelity to the public interests. That
this has been shown in his treatment
of the Cunningham coal claims, the re.
storation of the water power sites to
entry without intention to rewithdraw,
and in his administration of the recla.
nation service, the latter resulting in
unnecessary humiliation to the direct
or and tending towards the disintegra
ton of the service.
HE has not shown himself to be
that character of friend to the policy
of conservation of our natural resourc
es that the man should be who occu
pies the important post of secretary
of the interior in our government, anG
he should not be retained in that of
tice."

PRESSED HARD.
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in a Southern state says: MY moth
er, since her early childhood, was an
i%nveterate coffee drinker, had been
troubled with her heart for a number
of years and complained of that weak
all over feeling and sick stomach.
"Some time ago l was making an Of
fetal visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. l noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavor of the cot
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum. | was so
pleased with it that, after the meal was
over, l bought a package to carry
home with me, and had wife pre-
pare some for the next meal; the
whole family liked it so we'll that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers %
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not SO frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
II know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the fam
fly, but in a more marked degree In
the case Of my mother, as she was Q
victim Of long standing"

ARE LABOR SAVERS
KEEP ON HAND A SUPPLY OF JAP
ANESE NAPKINS.
Especially During the Summer Are
They Useful in Variety of Ways
Have Sanitary Value Some
times Overlooked.

Young girls who are up to date in
their ideas should not overlook the
sdvisability of keeping on hand a sup
ply of Japanese napkins, for their uses
as labor savers are many, and also as
preservers of the family health.
During the summer months young
girls especially are great instigators
Of picnics. Then the pile of Japanese
napkins should be quickly sought for
Clearly and dainty bits of paper in
which to wrap up sandwiches, cakes,
pie and all the good things that help
to make a picnic jolly. When they
have performed their service they can
be thrown away, not being sufficiently
valuable to carry home and to burden
The family wash tub.
Not only at picnics, but at veranda
tea sprees after tennis and at in
formal luncheons at home should Jap
snese napkins be employed instead of
line linen. The modern young girl
has began to feel keenly that it is a
necessity to adopt every possible
means to save labor, and to this end
she uses as freely as she can the lit
lie napkins from the land of the rising
sun.
The most pronounced present use
Of these articles is in case of illness,
especially those that can be transmit
ted from one member of the family to
another. Pneumonia, tonsilitis. tuber-
culosis and even the ordinary cold are
now looked on as evils from which
girls as we'll as all other sane mortals
should protect themselves by every
known device.
To use the handkerchiefs belonging
TO the regular wardrobe during the
time of a severe cold and then put
them in with the wash on Monday is
to expose the family, and particularly
the laundress, to the same discom-
forting malady. In serious cases of
illness. pneumonia among them, it is
a truly lamentable fact that handker-
chiefs, napkins and towels are often
used for the relief of the invalid
which afterward arc cleaned in the
laundry.
The use of the Japanese napkins. or
handkerchiefs, as they may then be
called, does away with this too fire.
quent mode of spreading contagion.
They serve the invalid as we'll as lin
en-, and when they are no longer re-
quired they should be burned.
The very smooth sorts are chosen
for use in sickness, while those of
crinkled, crepelike surfaces are pre-
ferred when attractiveness alone is de-
sired. At most they cost about fifty
cents a thousand.
