Church and State.

If our government is to be endur ing 1t must rest on principles of jus tice, truth and righteousness, sane toned by recognition of a supreme being whose experimenting provi- dence watches over the affairs of na- tions and of men. There is no off cial union of church and state in this country but there is no antagonism between the civil and religious au- thorities. Church and state move on parallel lines. The state holds over the spiritual rulers the aegis of it's protection without interfering with rights of conscience. The church helps enforce civil laws by moral and re- ligious sanctions. It Is the duty of us all, churchmen and laymen, to hold up the hands of our president, as Aaron and Hur stayed up the hands of Moses. Cardinal Gibbons.

HIRAM CARPENTERS WONDER
 FULL CURE OF PSORIASIS.

T have been afflicted for twenty years with an obstinate skin disease, called by some M. D.'s. psoriasis, and others leprosy, commencing on my scalp; and in spite of all I could do, with the help of the most skilful doc tors, it slowly but surely extended un- til year ago this winter it covered my entire person in the form of dry scales. For the last three years have been unable to do any labor, and suffering intensely all the time Every morning there would be nearly dust painful of scales taken from the sheet on my bed, some of them half as large as the envelope containing this letter. In the latter part of winter my skin commenced cracking open. l tried everything, almost, that could be thought of, without any relief. The 18th of June I started West, in hopes l could reach the Hot Springs. reached Detroit and was so low I thought I should have to go to the hospital but finally got as far as Lan- sing, Mich, where 1 had a sister liv- ing. One Dr. - treated me about two weeks, but did me no good All thought had but short time to live. l earnestly prayed to die. Cracked through the skin all over my back. across my ribs, arms, hands, limbs; feet badly swollen; toe-nails came of i; f1nger-nails dead and hard as a bone ]; hair dead, dry and lifeless as old straw. o my God! how l did suffer.
 My sister wouldn't give up; said, We will try Cuticura' Some was ap- piled to one hand and arm. Eureka! there was relief; stopped the terrible burning sensation from the word go. They immediately got Cuticura Re solvent, Ointment and Soap. I com. menced by taking Cuticura Resolvent three times day after meals; had a bath once a day, water about blood heat; used Cuticura Soap freely; ap- piled Cuticura Ointment morning and evening. Result: returned to my home in just six weeks from the time left, and my skin as smooth as this sheet of paper. Hiram E. Carpenter, Henderson, N. Y"
 The above remarkable testimonial was written January 19, 1880. and is republished because of the perman- ency of the cure. Under date of April P, 1910, MT. Carpenter wrote from his present home, 61O Walnut St. So., Lansing, Mich: T have never sui fered return of the psoriasis and al though many years have passed I have not forgotten the terrible suffering endured before using the Cuticura Remedies"

 That was the lingo of a keen and wel-dressed man who called on the Widow Lee in the village of Medina because he had been told that she had buried two husbands and had not erected a stone over the grave of ei- ther. He didn't say 1t, however, until he had Vainly tried to get couple of orders from her.
 "Yes. have lost two husbands in my time she admitted as she sighed two long signs. They were both good men, and some day I shall buy grave stones, but there's no hurry about it. That was what both of them said-not to be in hurry"
 You've lived around here a good while?" asked the agent.
