It took me mostly all over my back and kept getting worse until finally my back was covered with a mass of pimples which would burn and itch at night so that could hardly stand it. This condition kept getting worse and worse until my back was solid mass of big sores which would break open and run. My underciothlng would be clot of blood.

Confiscation Not the Purpose of the
 Statute

It is not the purpose of the statute to confiscate the property and capital of the offending trusts. Methods of punishment by fine or Imprisonment of the individual offenders, by fine of the corporation or by forfeiture of its goods in transportation, are provided, but the proceeding in equity is a specific remedy to stop the operation of the trust by injunction and prevent the future use of the plant and capital in vio- lation of the statute.

 and of constructive legislation intended to accomplish the purpose and blaze a clear path for honest merchants and business men to follow. It may be that such plan will be evolved but submit that the dis cussions which have been brought out in recent days by the fear of the continued execution of the antitrust law have pro duced nothing but glittering generalities and have offered no line of distinction or rule of action as definite and as clear as that which the supreme court itself lays down in enforcing the statute.

Voluntary Reorganization of Other Trusts at Hand

The effect of these two decisions has led
 to decrees dissolving the combination of
 manufacturers of electric lamps, South
 ern Wholesale Grocers association, an
 jnterlocutory decree against the Powder
 Trust. with directions by the circuit court
 compelling dissolution, and other comb.-
 nations of a similar history are now ne-
 gotiating with the department of justice
 looking to a disintegration by decree and reorganization in accordance with law. It
 seems possible to bring about these reor-
 ganzations without general business dis turbance. Movement for Repeal of Antitrust Law
 But now that the antitrust act is seen to be effective for the accomplishments of the purpose of its enactment, we are met by a cry from many different quar- ters for it's repeal. It is said to be ob- strtctive of business progress, to be an attempt to restore old fashioned methods of destructive competition between small units, and to make impossible those use ful combinations of capital and the re- auction of the cost of production that are essential to continued prosperity and nor nal growth.
 In the recent decisions the supreme court
 makes clear that there Is nothing in the statute which condemns combinations of capital or mere bgness of plant organized
 to secure economy in production and re- duction of it's cost It is only when the purpose or necessary effect of the aggre-
 gation of immense size are the stifling of competition, actual and potential, and the enhancing of prices and establishing a. monopoly, that the statute is violated. Mere size is no sin against the law. The merging of two or more business plants necessarily eliminate competition between
 the units thus combined, but the elimina- ton is in contravention of the statute only when the combination is made Tor | purpose of ending this particular compe- | tjtion in order to secure control of, and l enhance, prices and create a monopoly.
 Lack of Definiteness in the Statute | The complaint is made of the statute l that it is not sufficiently definite in its description of that which Is forbidden, to | enable busness men to avoid Its violation. | The suggestion is, that we may have a | combination of two corporations, which 1 may run on for years. and that subse-

being the first graduation since the con-
solidation of several districts of the

enjoyed, the board having been little
more liberal in providing teachers than
heretofore. The faculty is as follows:

EXHIBITION OF SEWING IN
THE GLENwooD SCHOOLS

All patrons of the school are invited
to attend the sewing exhibit to be held
in the fourth grade room on Thursday
and Friday, May 25 and 20, at $3.50
p. m.
Sewing is new feature in our
schools, aid with Mrs. Smith teaching
the fourth grade regularly, it has
been possible to offer it only to the
eighth grade and high school depart
ments. The eighth grade pupils have
devoted thirty minutes a day to tho
work and in that time have produced
many useful articles, such as aprons,
sewing bags, kimonas, petticoats and
dresses. The high school girls have
made aprons, dresses and complete
suits of underwear. All this work is
to be on exhibition in order that the
mothers and patrons may see what
has been accomplished in the small
space of time allotted to it.
Mrs. Smith is especially anxious to
meet the mothers of the girls who have
been in the sewing classes this past
year. We hope to introduce sewing
in more of the grades next year, but
what will be done will depend largely
on the enthusiasm and interest you
manifest in the work of this past year
We know of no better way Of getting
an expression from you than through
a personal visit. Come and see what
has been done and discuss the work
with Mrs. Smith. I hoep the mothers
will manifest such interest in the work
that the Board of Education will feel
justified in extending the course for
this coming year. If you are in ia.
vor of introducing the cooking. talk it
to your friends and school authorities
No recent movement in education IS
| more popular or receiving more encour-
agement than is domestic science. This
fact is strongly attested to by the reso
lutions passed at the various National
Meetings of Mothers, held this past
year. 1t is regarded by them as the
most important part of a girls educa-
ton.
1t is the aim of domestic science to
create love and respect for the work
| of the hand, and teach the habits of
neatness and economy, and to ft a girl
to be good housekeeper Each girl
who leaves high school or grammar
school should be able to take charge
of the work in small home-to know
how to buy wisely, to prepare good
food, to be clean, and to keep the
home neat. to take care of the mend
ing. to dress well and with good taste
/ If you can find the time to encour-
age the course with such an aim, by a
personal visit, we will greatly appre-
elate it. Yours sincerely,
| Fl. P. SHEPERD.

SUPERINTENDENT sHEP

The school board held its first meet
ing Thursday evening since the cleo
tion of President Bell. A great deal
of time was devoted to the welfare of
the schools in a general way, but aside
from this discussion but little business
was really accomplished. The mem
bers of the board seemed to feel that
free and full discussion of the affairs
of the district was in order at this time
and the evening was principally spent
in that way.
superintendent Shepherd was re-elect-
ed for the third year and c. H. Weiden-
hammer was reelected as ianitor. None
of the grade teachers were elected as
the board desires to discuss with the
superintendent the application for
these positions. 1t is understood, how
ever, that there will probably be a
very general and perhaps a complete
acceptance and reelection of the pres
ent corps of teachers.

MAKING OF MEN BEST BUSINESS
Continued from page one)
the boys of today and tomorrow.

the boys of today and tomorrow
The future of our nation depends on
the kind of men we make out of the
boy material of each generation. There
is greater demand today for strong
men-men who are strong physically
mentally and morally, than ever before
in history. Communities mould char
acter and character makes men. The
most important work at hand is the
making of men.
Mr.. DeLong made reference to some
of the past history of Glenwood Springs
which was not altogether complimentary
to the town. He said he remembered
reading in the press dispatches of an
officer who stood at the bottom of :.
saloon stairway and dared not go up
because he was defed and threatened
by the man who stood at the head of
the stairway. He referred to the desc
Grafton of the Sabbath for profit bu.
he said he observed the dawn of better
conditions for Glenwood and he con-
graduated the people on the improve
ment.
eff Glenwood is to be a resort town
tourist town-she wants, or should
want, to attract the very best tourists
that are travelling over the country, and
that's the kind you will get if YOU
have proper conception of your duty
as to the making of men,"
Senator DeLong made it very plain
that principle should be given a place
above business or profit or party affili-
alton. His remarks were well received
throughout and at the close of the ad-
dress Mr.. DeLong was greeted with
hearty applause. which indicated the
appreciation of his hearers.
