TRUST REPUDlATED.
Tho National Grange Opposes The
Medical Trust.

In its last annual session the Ma
tional Grange passed the following
resolutions:
WHEREAS, The resolutions adopt
ed at the 43rd annual session of the
National Grange, favoring the consoli-
dalton of the various federal health
bureaus, have been used by the Com.
mittee Of One Hundred on National
Health as an endorsement of the pro-
posal to create new federal depart
ment. to be called the Department Of
Public Health; and
WHEREAS, The attitude of the Ma
tional Grange in this matter has been
misrepresented by the advocates Of
Public Health Department; and
WHEREAS, The creation of such a
Department would involve the appoint
ment of thousands of unnecessary Of
fee holders, and the expenditure Of
millions of dollars, which could be bet
ter devoted to establishing parcels
post, aiding the states in the work Of
road improvement, and other reforms
in which the Grange is interested;
therefore
RESOLVED: That the National
Grange has not endorsed Depart
ment of Public Health, and sees no
good reason why the farmers Of the
country should favor the creation Of
such Department, or any legislation
that might be construed as step in
that direction

the storm of savage fury which car

There is nothing in the meager his
tory Of Old Joe which shows that he
felt any close attachment for the
whites, and after that one day of serv-
ice he dropped back into his old life
again.
But some pride of the white man re-
NAMED in him SO that when the re-
wards for the Indians who had helped
the whites in the outbreak had run
! through the red tape of government
| departments and Joe received nothing
but few farming implements, he &C.
cepted them sullenly and refused to
fight for what was his by right. The
gift of these tools he always consid-
cred as personal insult.
One piece of log chain he always re-
tanned, insisting that it was the per-
sonal gift of Abraham Lincoln. This
chain, when he could be prevailed
upon to talk about the matter at all,
| he always exhibited with infinite
scorn as the gift of the great white
father for his services to his white
children.

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

II have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and In every in
stance, I always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case in
particular was that of lady friend
of mine who, when a child, was af-
flicted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer torture She
could not go to school as the disfgure-
ment looked terrible. l told her to get
at once a set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use of only one set she was
perfectly we'll.
"A grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one Of her thumbs.
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall of the year. They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cutfcura Remedies which cured her.
have also seen them cure children
of ringworm. The childrens faces

I began to apply the Ointment.
Last May I had an ingrowing too

the nail out Of the cavity it made, and
of course applied the Cuticura ONT
ment to the part affected. 1t soothed

all healed through constant use of the
Ointment. Ten days ago I had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. I have just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend, and she is pleased
with the results and is recovering

OVER ONE HUNDRED
HUNTERS ARE SLAIN
Casualties This Season the
Greatest in Years-Uncle
Sam to Act.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The hunting
season, which closed Thursday, cost
1O4 lives and resulted in more or less
severe injuries to "A others. These
figures are larger than those for last
year, when the dead numbered 100
and the injured 81.
The annual loss of life in the pur.
ton of the government, and, by direc-
tion of Secretary Wilson, of the Agri-
cultural Department, the Biological
Survey is studying the accidents this
year as we'll as statistics for the last
five years.
The results of the investigation and
suggestions for legislation will be en-
bodied in a report to be published at
the end of the year. With these sta
tistics to work on, the Federal Gov
ernment will try to induce the various
states to enact laws which will de-
crease the annual slaughter of hunters.
"Companion" a Danger.
This years statistics prove that a
hunters companion is the most dan
gerous part OF hunting outfit. He
has caused at least 25 per cent of the
fatal accidents of the season, his care
lessness being responsible for "a
deaths and the injury of IA persons,
who were lucky enough to escape NOR
tai hurts.
A well known Chicago man was a
victim of a companion. Charles G.
McRoberts, law partner of Charles H.
Aldrich, and once candidate for AL
derman from the Twenty-fifth ward,
while hunting near Antioch, ILL.,, was
accidentally shot by his guide.
A. A. Hayes, General Freight Au-
ditor for the Santa Fe Railroad, also
fell from a companions shot. He was
shot in the leg by companion while
hunting near Belpre, Kansas, and died
from resulting blood poison.
The enthusiastic hunter who mis-
takes every moving thing for a deer
also took gun in hand again this
year, and when the sum total of his
achievements in the way of killing
people had been figured up, it showed
him responsible for the death of 10
persons and the injury of seven
others.
Two Notches on Gun.
o. r. Wilson, of Gold Hill, Ore,
seems to have acquired the habit of
mistaking men for deer and killing
them. He killed his brother the other
day, and several years ago he killed
another man by mistake. The coroner
has called a jury to determine wheth-
,er Wilson ought to be permitted to
carry arms.
While hunting rabbits near Nc
Louth, Kan. John GLENN accidentally
shot six young women who were
standing on the front porch of his
home. A rabbit ran around the house
and GLENN fired at it with a shotgun
He missed the rabbit, but the shot
struck the women, all of whom were
wounded in the lower limbs.
Twenty-nine of the dead were the
victims of their own carelessness
having shot themselves. Most of these
accidents were caused by the victim
pulling his gun, muzzle fire, toward
him while climbing a fence, or leav.
ing a boat or some other situation in
which caution should have been ex.
ercised. OF the injured 13 shot them,
selves.
