man or waman who is ShiftleSS, lazy,
dishonest, whose life does not inspire
confidence, no one is ready to help
unless out of compassion and the hope
that possibly a change in life may
come if given start. 1t pays in a
host of ways for a boy or girl to have
a good reputation Ezra had good
reputation, you need the same thing.
There is also the lesson to pray to
God when you want to work for Him.
The bible is full of promises OF help
for those who need it, in the cause of
righteousness. The help and power
of the Almighty God is often present
ed to our minds as like to the electric
current in massive wires, and it is
only needed for us to be rightly con-
nected to have power to accomplish
great things. Those who have seen
a big heavy train at standstill, and
then noted what happened when the
trolley" pole was let up against the
wire above and the lever turned, get
a little example of what we mean. Up
the big hills, off goes the train, all be-
cause the trolley is connected with
the power in the overhead wires. So
we should be ready to put out our
hand by faith for divine help, and it
will certainly come. So again has an
Old Testament lesson led us to have
most helpful things suggested to our
May they prove effective and
indeed helpful.

HEAD SOLID MASS OF HUMOR

'sI think the Cuticura Remedies are
the best remedies for eczema I have
ever heard Of. MY mother had a child
who had a rash on it's head when it
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but it
did no good. In few days the head
was solid mass; a running sore. It
was awful, the child cried continually.
We had to hold him and watch him
to keep him from scratching the
sore. His suffering was dreadful. At
last we remembered Cuticura Rene
dies. We got dollar bottle of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, q box Of Cuticura
Ointment, and bar of Cuticura Soap.
We gave the Resolvent as directed,
washed the head with the Cutfcura
Soap, and applied the Cuticura Oint-
ment. We had not used half before
the child's head was clear and free
from eczema, and 1t has never come
back again. His head was healthy
and he had a beautiful head of hair.
I think the Cuticura Ointment very
good for the hair. 1t makes the hair
grow and prevents falling hair"

Urge Passage of Albers Bill Taking

Madison.-The legislative commit
tee of the Wisconsin Association of
Police Chiefs, representing seventy
cities, appeared before the senate
committee on corporations and urged
it to recommend for passage the
Albers bill, authorizing fire and pc
lice commissions in all cities except
ing Milwaukee to fix the salaries Of
the members of the fire and police
departments under them. At pres
ent this authority is vested in COM
mon councils.
The chiefs argued that the commits
sioners, being better informed of the
character and qualifications of the
men required on fire and police forces
and the work they are compelled to
perform, were better able to deter
mine what salaries they should re-
ceive than were the members Of the
common council.

BALLINGER LEAVES
POST IN CABINET
is SUCCEEDED AS SECRETARY
OF INTERIOR BY WALTER |.
FISHER OF CHICAGO.
TAFT FlAYS "MUCk-RAKERS"
In Letter Accepting BaIlinger's Resig-
nation, President Declares Retiring
Official is Victim of ScandaIous
Efforts at Low Defamation.

Washington, D. Orchard Achil-
les Ballinger's resignation as secre-
tary of the interior was announced
at the White House when President
Taft made it known that he had
selected Walter l.. Fisher of Chicago,
a lawyer, we'll known in the west,
to succeed Ballinger.
1t was stated that Ballinger tend
cred his resignation on January 10,
but withheld it at the presidents re-
quest until after the adjournment of
congress. Ballinger wrote a second
formal letter of resignation which
was accepted by the president.
The Democrats had announced
their intention to attempt to impeach
Ballinger at the coming extra session
Of congress on the charges developed
in the Pinchot CLAWS investigation.
President Taft's letter formally
accepting Mr.. Ballinger's resignation
fairly bristles in denunciation of the
''muck-rakers." In part it says.
81 do not hesitate to say that you
have been the object Of one of the
most INSCRIPTIONS conspiracies for
the defamation of character that his
tory can show.
81 deemed it my duty not only to
the government, but to society in
general, to fight out this battle to the
end. 1t was the result of a malicious
and unprincipled plan for the use
of the press to misrepresent you and
your actions and to torture every
circumstance, however free from det-
rimental significance, into proof of
corrupt motive.
with the hypocritical pretense
that they did not accuse you of cor
ruption they Shove cred you with sus-
picion, and by the most pettifogging
N ethods exploited the public matters
witch had no relevancy to an issue
of either corruption or efficiency in
office, but which paraded before an
hysterical body of headline readers,
served to olacken your character and
to obscure the proper issue of your
honesty and effectiveness as a pub
lie servant.
This is the statement which Mr.
Ballinger issued:
'I shall Immediately return to my
home in Seattle, and after securing
the necessary rest, will actively take
up my professional work.
''The president has so fully ex-
pressed his confidence in me in his
letter that I have only to add that
go out of Office feeling that no man
could have been more loyalty sup
ported than I have been by the presi-
dent at all times, ard he has my

aged 1, from the burning structure.
Hughie, with the greatest heroism,
attempted to save his helpless sister,
but was driven forth by the smoke

be restrained from rushing into the
burning house when she found one
of her children was missing and is
in a critical condition.
