DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was disfgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.

tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
childs face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised He has q
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene

At noon today Judge Walter A. Wat

be fraught with a danger to Deattie

L AFT VETOES.

The protective tariff system is a grab
game from beginning to end The
administration reciprocity pact has
been ratified by the congress Of the
United States; but the farmers free
list bills and the bill reducing the
duties on wooden goods have been
killed by executive veto. These vetoes
might naturally be expected from a
president whose ideal of statesman is
Mr.. Aldrich; but they are disappointing
nevertheless. There is no reason in
saying that the reduction Of excessive
tariff taxes should wait upon the report
Of the tariff commission. Reports for
downward revision have been made by
every commissioner ever appointed
from David A. Wells, appointed by
President Lincoln, down to the present
time. If one rose from the dead and
testified to them the political trust
lords and their upholders would not
yield an inch. In regard to the veto
Of the wool bill the New York Evening
Post says:
Mr.. Taft was ready to assert two
years ago and, in fact, does it in this
very message, that he believes the
Payne Aldrich wool duties excessive
How does he know that, inasmuch as
the tariff board has not yet reported
and until it does we are not supposed
to know anything? Why, he knows it,
of course, just as any other man Of
common sense, by mere glance at the
outrageous duties now exacted. The
president states that the average exist
ng rates on cloths are 81 per cent and
on wearing apparel 81 per cent. We
need no one to come from the dead to
tell us that tax of 100 per cent on
clothing is a great injustice, Or that
cutting it in two is an act of justice.
In our opinion, the president has made
a great mistake. He has disappointed
the just expectations of the country.
For the sake of dubious relief in the
future, he has sacrificed an assured
present relief.
A congress which does not know
without scientific investigation that
duties averaging about 100 per cent are
too high ought to be recalled. And a
president who by executive veto blocks
the way of the reduction of such duties
ought to be defeated for reelection.

The nose plays a very important
