Of the phylloxera, supplies no less

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago I had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. / would scratch those places
until they would bleed before ! could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over and the flesh I'M
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes it would begin to itch until
1t would waken me from my sleep,
and l would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced it "dry
eczema" used an ointment which
the doctor gave me, but 1t did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. AS this trouble has
been in our family for years. and is
considered hereditary. felt anxious
to try to head it off. I got the Cuti-
cura Soap. Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be just what needed.
The disease was making great
Roadway on my system until I got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin Of the great pest.
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now, have never felt
any of it's pest, and am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. / always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet, and I hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment"

Isabel gazed at Henry with tender
amusement. Wasn't II boyish and
funny Of him to show such naive van
ity. Since she had bought him the

drously tolerant.
"All right" she said, I'll get
plumber, carpenter, a gas filter and
a stove man to come tomorrow and do
the little things I had thought you'd
do"
Henry didn't look as IL this an
nouncement made him jealous.
The next morning Isabel said with
a disappointed note in her voice:
Henry! You haven't your new tie

Isabel stare. It was the that" of

not the that" which would have in

minded.
I'm wear It next Sunday" he said,
with q chuckle.
Isabel took the tie and examined Il
closely. Yes, 1t was too wrinkled to
take back to the shop. But Christi

The Unfairness of the Boycott.
Henry White, In Worlds Wurk.


Here are the views OF a prominent
labor leader on the boycott:
"As my boycotting experience in
creased, the unfairness of the boycott.
Its possibilities for mischief, impressed
me more and turned me against IL. 1
felt that had no right to WELD such
a power. that no one was qualified to
be trusted with it, deplored the
forced and specious membership il had
created. True. the boycott had served
the union well; IT was a scourge to the
sweater; Ii was a weapon that the
employers dreaded most. Morally, too.
In way, the boycott could be justi-
fled. It was in theory an appeal to
fellow workers to abstain from patro-
nizing unfair or unfriendly employers.
Surely no right could be better founded.
,"All this, however, was moro Of an
abstraction than a fact. In practice
ii worked out differently. 1t was sup
ported not because of any question of
right or wrong, but for the sake Of tho
advantage 1t would give the union.
Its force lay In the intimidation of the
timid retailer and when left to the
ethical sense Of the consumer the boy
colt had little effect"

FINE FISHING WITH GUNS.
PitchforkS and Garden Rales Also
Capture Biz Fellows.

Rehoboth, Del.-Hooks and Tnes
and nets have been discarded for
catching fish along the Rehoboth
beach since the discovery several days
ago of hundrsd Of monster drumfish
running in schools close to the shore.
Guns and pitchforks and even garden
rakes are being used and large num-
bers of the big fish are being captur
ed by these means.
The big fish are plainly seen from
the beach, many of them coming in
within a few feet of the shore from
which the gunners can shoot the big
fellows and then wade out and get
them.
At Indian RIVER inlet a la. ge school
of the fish entered a small pool and
before they could get away men with
pitchforks had waded in and speared
eleven of them deighing from thirty
five to fifteen pounds each. Off the
life-safing station Walter Elliott saw
a big one in evident distress, and,
jmping into the water he managed
to seize it by the tail and turn it
toward the shore, finally landing the
big fish on the beach.
| cottager saw the fish close to the
sAore and. running down the beach
| with a garden rake. he succeeded in
stunning it until he could drag II
ashore.

Race Prejudice in North.

Boston. Aug. 2S.-That race preju-
dice, one confined largely to the
South, is rapidly becoming worse in
the northern than in the southern
states is the declaration Of influen-
tial negroes in attendance at the
fourth annual meeting of the Nation
al Independent League, convened to-
day in the Twelfth Baptist church.
The recent brutal burning of a ne
gro in a Pennsylvania town has ar
oused the leaders Of the race more
than similar crimes in the South. The
| object Of the league is to organize
and train cOlored citizens to use theil
ballots to secure all the rights of citi
izenship guaranteed under the consti
tuition, including the right Of trial by
1 jury for those charged with crime.
The meeting will continue to Wed
nesday, when public closing exercis
es will be held in Faneuil Hall.
