LIE AWAKE ALL NIGHT
WITH ITCHING ECZEMA

Ever since can remember / was
a terrible sufferer Of eczema and
other irritating skin diseases. would
lie awake all night. and my suffering
was intolerable.. A scaly humor set
tied on my back, and being but q
child, I naturally scratched It. It
was burning, itching sensation, and
| utterly intolerable, in fact, 1t was so
that could not possibly forget about
| It. It did not take long before It
spread to my shoulders and arms, and
I was almost covered with mass Of
raw flesh on account Of my scratching
| 1t. was in such condition that my
hands were tied.
"a number Of physicians were call
ed, but 1t seemed beyond their med
ical power and knowledge to cure
me. Having tried numerous treat
ments without deriving any benefit
| from them, / had given myself up to
the mercy of my dreadful malady, but
| / thought I would take the Cuticura
| treatment as last resort. Words
cannot express my gratitude to the
one who created The Cuticura Mira
cles,' as I have named them, for now
/ feel as If never suffered from even
a pimple. My disease was routed by
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and
shall never cease praising the wonder
full merits they contain. 1 will never
be without them, in fact, can almost
dare any skin diseases to attack me

will give other sufferers an idea OF
how / suffered. and also hope that
they will not pass the 'Cuticura Life

President Taft at the White House.
They parted on the most amicable
terms as rejecting the same intimate
understanding between the two great
republics. Mexico which stands and
which exemplifies in itself the great
principle of an American protectorate
by itself and the United States over
the Central American republics has
in every way in this great crisis in
her own affairs admitted the protect
ing power (and welcomed it) of the
United States in Mexican affairs. Mex
leo has not resented the presence of
an American army standing guard on
its most extensive frontier. Mexico
has admitted by its ambassador and
Is benefitting by the theory that the
massing Of United States troops near
her zone of war is a movement ad-
verse to the enemies Of Mexico. Thus,
in the events which are on the sur
face, there is demonstrated the COM
plete entente between President Diaz
and President Taft Neither presi-
dent would submit to the breaking
up of Mexico into several republics,
any one of which would be state as
troublesome to the United States as
has been Nicaragua and Honduras.

INSTITUTE REIGN OF TERROR
Rebels Destroy Property WantonIy
In Northern Mexico Following
Diaz's Drastic Order.

Ell Paso, Textile decision Of
President Diaz to invoke the
clause in the constitution providing
for summary action for acts of vio-
lence and the imposition of the death
penalty on all offenders has had the
expected effect on the insurrectos.
Realizing that they face almost GER
tain death If their cause is defeated
and they are brought before a gov
ernment court martial. they have in
stituted reign of terror that extends
throughout all the northern states.
Property is being destroyed wantonly.
Railroad and telegraphic communica-
tion is almost impossible. The food
supplies of several sections have been
entirely cut off. In some quarters the
inhabitants are facing starvation. The
rebels have laid siege to several
towns, it is reported, and thousands
of women and children are at their
mercy.
Several battles have been fought
following the clash at Casas Grandes,
about $50 miles southeast of here.
There Is not any insurgent in all of
Madero's forces who does not know
by this time of the decree of Presi-
dent Diaz. The news of the govern
ments new stand has reached the
outermost of the scattered bands, ac-
cording to reports received. The reb-
els are determined TO deal with their
federal foes in kind. No quarter will
be asked and none given, A situation
that occasioned no serious apprehen-
sion before Is now critical.

HE MADE APPOINTMENTS.
TAFT SEES AN UNDIVIDED COUNTRY
Nations Executive Delivers Speech
After Receiving an Ovation From
Thousands Of Georslans Gath
cred to Do Him Honor.

Atlanta, Ga.-President w. H. Taft
came to Atlanta, received an ova-
tion from the thousands of Georgians
gathered to do him honor and passed
the hat" at the meeting of the South
ern Commercial congress. While TAX
ing up the collection the executive
raised $4,000 for the cause of south
ern exploitation. At dinner given
at night to President Taft at the Driv-
ing club he made unexpected speech
defending the supreme court and his
five recent appointees to that bench
This utterance is regarded as one of
the most important he has offered.
The president spoke as follows:
This is a government of freedom
regulated by law. We have a consti-
tuition and it is a good constitution,
and that instruments is interpreted by
court which exercises a function
more unique and more powerful than
any other tribunal in the world. 1t
follows, therefore, that the selection
of the men who are to fill that tribunal
and constitute it's judges is the most
sacred duty that president has to
perform and a man who would use
the power thus given him for any
other purpose than to strengthen that
court is unworthy the office of presi-
dent. Hence it is, my friends, that
in filling the four vacancies that /
have had to fill believe l can truth
fully say l was first seeking the man
and the lawyer who would strengthen
that court. 1t is no easy task to run
over the bar of 46 states and make
selections, but when the duty was per-
formed, when / had gotten my man,
then 1t gratified me that in his ap-
pointment 1 could show to the south
that a southern man might just as
we'll aspire to the supreme court un-
der Republican president as if had
been Democrat"
The president speaking of the COM
mercial and industrial development Of
the country said: Proportionately
the commercial and business growth
Of the south is greater than that Of
| any other part of the country. A
cotton crop that sells for a billion dol
lars insures prosperity and when in
| addition to that you raise a corn crop
worth billion dollars and include the
tobacco you raise, the product of your
iron industry, your cotton manufactur-
ing and your truck gardening, as we'll
as the naval stores of the Carolinas
and Georgia, and the sugar and rice
of Louisiana and Texas, the fruits and
the lumber of all the southern states,
one begins to get conception of the
marvellous progress of the south.
With the sense of triumph in their
success in overcoming their great diff
ficulties, the southern people have
mellowed. The northern people have
met them half way and never in the
history of the country have the two
sections been SO friendly and so near,
in such complete union as they are
today"
The president then bespoke the ad-
vance in educational opportunities and
referred to the race and efficient labor
questions as among the most serious
| tn he confronted

SOLDIERS TO AWE
MEXICAN REBELS
WILL PREVENT PLAN OF lNSuR
REcToS FORMING REPUBLIC
OF NORTHERN STATES.
CHECK UPON SOURCES OF SUPPLIES
Troops Are Massed on the Frontier to
Maintain Neutrality Between This
Country and Its Southern
Neighbor.

Washington, ID. C.-The impend-
Ing danger and the obviously conse-
quent embarrassing complications to
the United States Of the establish
ment by the insurrectos of a republic
with its headquarters in lower Cali
fornia was the immediate motive OF
the mobilization of the American
army and navy on the Mexican from
tier. 1t is not ascertainable whether
Ambassador Wilson brought this
message to this government, but the
contingency as described was suffl-
cient to set in motion the military
forces of the government to thwart
this gigantic Mexican insurrectionary
plot. 1t can be asserted on the high
est authority that Mexico five days
ago was fully alive to the possibilities
of a seizure of lower California by
the insurrectos and that, with the con-
sent and advice of this government,
regiments of Mexican federals were
ordered to lower California.
Army Had to be Ready.
The proposed establishment of a
new government by secession in Mex
leo, according to diplomats and war
officials, is only phase of various
necessities which compelled the prac-
tical investment of the whole Amer
lean Mexican frontier by an American
army. That fact they say does not
contradict or minimize, but only ac-
centuates previous private statements
by officials Of the government that
the army of the United States had to
be in a position ready to rush over
the frontier to prevent the conse-
quences of any accident" to the Diaz
government and consequently to
American and foreign personal and
commercial interests. If proof were
wanted of this explanation of the hur-
ried movements of the war depart
ment and navy department and the
feverish activity of the state depart
ment as exhibited within the last 4S
hours, it can be had, says the in
formant of the /. N. S., in the peculiar
orders to the army and navy, not on
the Rio Grande, but with special ref
erence to northwestern Mexico and
lower California where the new re-
public would be expected and would
have to be reckoned with as politi-
cal entity.

Such was the decision of the supreme
court of the United States, despite the

SECRET OF MOBILIZATION
of TROOPS.
BY J. FRED EssARY,
Special Correspondent With Presl-
dent Taft's Train.

Charlottesville, Va.-The secret
OF the mobilization Of the Amer
lean troops In Texas and other
wise along the Mexican frontier
came out before the presidential
party, bound for Atlanta, had been
away from Washington two hours.
The troops are massed on the from
tier for the purpose Of possible
operations across the border. They
are there to Intlmldate the Mexi-
can insurreetos and they are there
to maintain neutrality between this
country and Its southern nelghbor.
President TAFT let II be known soon
after he left the capital that the
army would not be merely engaged
In manuouveres. Il Will first patrol
the frontier for the purpose of re-
stralnlng American adventures and
preventing the lnsurrectos from
falling back on their resources In
this country and then, II need be,
It Will actually Invade Mexico to
preserve peace. The government
Is informed that the plan Of the In
surectos to organize a republic OF
the northern states Of Mexico. The
capital is to be located In lower
California. From there Il Is In
spread until It Involves the whole
Of Mexico. This state of affairs
must, In the Judgment of this gov
ernment, be opposed. The first
move Is, therefore, to put an ef-
fectlve check upon the sources OF
supplies and encouragement which
are located on the American side
OF the line. This the 10000 troops
now on their way to Texas and CAL
ifornla Will be ordered to dc. Abb
solute neutrality will then be en-
forced. 1t matters not how long 1t
takes to do this. The army will re-
main on duty two weeks, six weeks
or six months, II need be, In order
to make effective the neutrality of
the border. II by doing this the
American government can aid the
Diaz administration to cope with
its difficulties, such aid Will be
freely given. II seems that the ad-
mlnlstration has knowledge of the
proposed organization of the new
republic from the beginning. Such
republic as Intended by the rev.
olutionlsts Is regarded by the ad-
mlnistratlon as a menace to Amer
lean interests, not only In the Belli-
gerent territory itself, but on the
American side of the border lmme-
diately adjacent to the northern
states Of Mexico.

The presence OF numerous buyers
in the principal markets has tended
to produce a moderate degree of
improvement in house trade. and early
farm work is progressing under ia.
voTable conditions, while fall sown
grain appears to be in good shape. In.
cidentally the progress of the season
has impaired little more zest to re-
tail trade. Yet conservatism is
everywhere visible. buyers especially
of textiles of clothing are purchasing
cautiously.

elimination project and improvement

special concern of the United States

force of that statement by the admin
istration was not fully realized at the
time of its utterance, but IT. is alb
solutely understood in the later devel-
opments in relation to the political
plot as described. 1t was in order
to forestall by overawing the insur-
erctos conspirators that nearly the
whole of the Pacific feet was concen-
trated in the south, that 500 additional
marines were ordered rushed to these
ships aad that bridage, armed as
for war, was sent to the interesting
northwestern corner of the revolu-
tionary activities. All the authorities
here agree that the storm center of
the alleged manouveres is near the

States troops will first be called into
service on Mexican soil.

HIGH COURT OK s
CORPORATION TAX
SUPREME TRIBUNAL, BY uNAN-
IMouS CONSENT, susTAINs
coNSTITloNALITY OF LAW.
DECISION IS READ BY JUSTICE DAY
The United States Treasury viii Re-
ceive $25, 100000 Year From Tax
on Net Incomes OF Corporations
Doing Business for Profit.

Washington, d. C.-By unanimous
tanned the constitutionality of the cor
poration tax law. This is the first
great victory of the administration in
it's epoch making suits before the
highest tribunal. The Standard Oil
and American Tobacco companies dis
solution suits are next in line. The
court announced recess from March
20 to April 3. There is speculation
as to whether this recess is not to be
occupied in preparing decisions in
these cases.
Justice Day read the decisions in the
corporation taxes, suits testing the law
having been brought from every Sec
ton of the country. BY it's affirma-
tion the revenues of the national
treasury are increased annually more
than $25,000,000 from the tax on the
net incomes of corporations doing bus
iness for profit, in addition to which
the principle of the right to levy such
a tax is vindicated, and most impor-
tant of all that for which the govern
ment has been striving, access to the
books of the big corporations, and full
publicity with regard to their affairs
is absolutely assured. The tax was
pressed by President Taft as an aid
to the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. The
president suggested also an inheri-
tance tax. Congress selected the cor
poration tax. 1t was attacked by some
of the ablest lawyers in the country
After declaring the power of the
senate to insert the corporation tax
provisions in tariff bill originating in
the house Justice Day announced that
the tax "is imposed not upon the fran
chises of the corporation irrespective
of their use in business nor upon the
property of the corporation but upon
the doing of corporate or insurance
business, and with respect to the
carrying on thereof in a sum equiva-
lent to one percentum of the entire
net income over and above $4,000 re-
ceived from all sources during the
year-that is, when imposed in this
manner it is tax upon the doing Of
inhere in the IRREGULARITIES of corpo-
rate or joint stock organizations of
the character described. AS the lat
ter organizations share many benefits
OF corporate interests 1t may be de-
scribed generally as tax upon doing
business in corporate capacity. The
tax is per cent. of the entire income
over and above $1,000 received from
all sources.
"The income" said Justice Day, "is
not limited to such as is received
from property used in the business
strictly speaking, but is expressly de-
clared to be upon the entire net in
come above $4,000 from all sources
excluding the amounts received as
dividends on stocks in other corpora
tions, Joint stock companies or as
sociations, or insurance companies
also subject to the tax. In other
words the tax is imposed upon the
doing of business of the character de-
scribed and the measure of the tax
is to be the income with the deduc.
tion stated, received not only from
property used in business, but from
every source.

DESTROYS TOWN
Blast In Powder Plant Creates vibra-
tion Which Is Felt for Radius Of
so Milestone Dead, $50 Hurt.

Kneosha, VISA terrific explosion
of the Latin Rand Powder Co.
at Pleasant Prairie, Wis, caused a
loss of at least one life, destroyed
the village in which it was situated
and created a vibration which was
felt for a radius of SO miles. Three
hundred and fifty people were injured.
The property loss is placed at over
$1,500,000.
The suburbs of Chicago, along the
lake shore, all felt the shock severely
and in Evanston, Winnetka, Glencoe,
Wilmette and Highland Park many
| windows and store fronts were shat
tered. Direct communication with
the village was cut off by the ex-
plosion and few particulars have been
learned from there up to the present
writing. 1t is known, however, that
the village is almost entirely destroy
ed. The explosion occurred in the
Glaze room where e. S. Thompson
and Edward Hillard were at work.
Hillard escaped with slight injury.
Thompson was blown to atoms and
is thought, so far, to have been the
only one killed. The flames from the
explosion leaped in quick succession
from building to building of the enor.
nous plant which covers nearly 200
acres with some 60 buildings.
So terrific was the explosion that
Briston, small town four miles west
of the plant, received terrific shock
and suffered almost as badly as its
sister city. In Kenosha the damage
was very great. Nearly half the plate
glass in the city was broken. though
no one was seriously injured.
