Lives Ennbittered
BY Skin TROUBLES

Many estimable lives have been embittered by
skin afictions, due. in most cases, to neglect in
infancy and childhood. Delicate skins readily
become irritated and severe eruptions develop.
Then treatment after treatment is tried and
found wanting until life becomes nightmare
of torture and Disagreement, imposing a fearful
h.ndicap in the race for business social ad.
xancement. Yet this physical and mental suf.
ferinr might have been avoided or mitigated
by A timely use Of Cuticura soap and ointment.

That man Madero, self-styled pro-
visional president of Mexico, is, meta
phoricallly speaking, between the
devil and the deep blue sea. The
federal army is after him in Mexico
and the federal officers in the United
States. A warrant issued by United
States Commissioner Oliver charges
that Madero planned an armed mill
tary expedition against a friendly
nation and caused arms and ammuni-
ton to be sent into Mexico from the
United States in violation of the
neutrality and customs laws. Madero
had better skedaddle into Honduras,
where his ability as a leader would
probably be appreciated.

Russia, upon some pretense or
other: is always seeking to gobble up
more territory-to add to it's already
vast possessions. It has now dis
covered that China has violated the
st. Petersburg treaty of 1881 and has
in consequence begun the mobiliza.
tion of troops in the province of Iii,
which was formerly occupied by
Russia but restored to China in 1881.
Great Britain, France and Germany
have been notified by the Russian
government of it's intent, but the
greedy, despotic car had better GO
easy, as Uncle Sam is liable to step
in and call halt if he should
attempt to annex China.

The foolish remarks of Champ
Clark in the house reciprocity debate
that the ratification of the agreement
would ultimately lead to annexation
of Canada stirred up considerable
commotion among members of parlia-
ment at Ottawa. Champ declares that
the utterance was made in jocular
spirit, but that does not, however,
lessen it's righteousness. Those
Canuck parliamentarians can't see
through joke, and Champ should
have known that. To make success
full speaker Champ will have to avoid
such slop-overs-he will have to
bride his tongue. He had better take
few lessons from that staid old
diplomat, Joe Cannon, before he
assumes charge of the gavel.

Eq O..

An ego is LatiniZed I. All men
are created egos and endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable some
things of which neither statute, ukase,
edict, injunction, beggar, magnate,
book agent nor promoter can deprive
them. He who steals my purse steals
trash, but he who filches from me my
ego takes that of which he already
has enough and makes me not at all.
Women without votes have" egos
and, strangely enough, would still
have them if they secured the votes;
hence egos are not a political issue.
An ego is what a man is when he
has nothing and is nothing else; that
is to say, he is then first person singu-

President Taft has sent a special
message to congress designating the
territory in Minnesota which shall be
"dry" and that which shall be "wet''
in the so-called "Indian country. "
The president has abrogated in part
the treaties of October 2, 1868, July
%, 1851, and September 30, 1854, and
abrogated in whole the treaty of 1S47,
in accordance with the powers vested
in him. This proclamation, supple
mented by legislation along this line,
will permit the sale of liquor in the
state in regions not inhabited by
Indians. "Dry" zones will be
marked out in due season in accor-
dance with the presidents orders and
the legislation which will be enacted
as result thereof. Under the presi-
dents recommendations to congress
Bemidji, Cass Lake, Walker, Akeley,
Park Rapids, Detroit and large
number of other towns will be in the
"dry" belt. Whether the presidents
orders will supersede the decisions OF
Judges Amidon and Willard is a
matter for the courts to decide.
