SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN

when my boy was about three
months old his head broke out with a
rash which was very itchy and ran a
watery fluid. We tried everything we
could but he got worse all the time,
till it spread to his arms, legs and
then to his entire body. He got so
bad that he came near dying. The
rash would itch so that he would
scratch till the blood ran, and a thin
yellowish stuff would be all over his
pillow in the morning. / had to put
mittens on his hands to prevent him
tearing his skin. He was so weak
and run down that he took fainting
spells as if he were dying. He was
almost a skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
HE was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies l
had not laid him down in his cradle
in the daytime for long while. /
washed him with Cuticura Soap and
put on one application of Cuticura
Ointment and he was so soothed that
he could sleep. You don't know how
glad l was he felt better. 1t took one
box of Cuticura Ointment and pretty
near one cake of Cuticura Soap to
cure him. think our boy would have
died but for the Cuticura Remedies
and l shall always remain firm
friend of them There has been no
return of the trouble. / shall be glad
to have you publish this true state
ment of his cure" (Signed) Mrs. M.

T|LDEN IS ARRESTED
SENATE WARRANTS IN CON-
TEMPT CASE ARE SERVED ON
CHICAGO PACKER AND AIDS.
WRIT TO FREE THEM SECURED
Habeas Corpus Petition Attacking
Right to Demand Financial Rec
ords Then Is Filed Before Judge
and Order Issued.

Chicago.-Edward Tilden, the Chi
cago packer, was arrested here for
contempt of the Illinois senate. The
contempt charge resulted from Til
den's refusal to produce certain books
before the committee investigating
the election of Senator Lorimer.
The arrest of Mr.. Tilden, however,
did not take place until a writ or
habeas corpus had already been grant
ed by Judge Adelor J. Petit, which
was returned in court shortly after
Mr.. Tilden's arrest. The writ was
granted by Judge Petit about one-half
hour before Assistant Sergeant at
Arms E. H. Hatfield of the state SEN
ate actually arrested Mr.. Tilden in the
| offices of the National Packing COM
pany.
Immediately after he had served the
| warrant on Mr. Tilden, Hatfield him.
self was served with the writ of
habeas corpus by Deputy Sheriff
| Lenke. Thereupon Hatfield took Mr..
| Tilden to Judge Petit's courtroom In
| the county building. There he was re-
leased under bonds Of $4,000, fur
nished by the United States Fidelity
and Guarantee company.
George M. Benedict, cashier OF the
Drovers' Deposit National bank, and
| William C.. Cummings, cashier of the
Drovers' Trust and Savings bank,
Jared exactly as did Mr.. Tilden. 1t
was announced that the ruling that
| Judge Petit will make after hearing
arguments on the petition for the re-
lease of Mr.. Tilden will affect them
equally with the banker.
| This ruling will decide whether Mr.
Tilden will be sustained in his refusal
| to produce his books and those OF his
banks before the Helm committee OF
| the senate, which is investigating
charges that the election of LorimeI
was obtained through bribery. II
Judge Petit orders his release the sen
ate will be obliged to abandon its eff
forts to find out whether the books
| contain any entries which would
| throw light upon the source OF the
| Lorimer election fund. On the other
hand, il Judge Petit refuses to grant
| the petition for Mr.. Tilden's release
it means that he must appear before
| the senate and either reconsider his
refusal to produce his books or be
punished for contempt, probably by
imprisonment.
The petition for the habeas corpus
writ as filed gave several reasons fol
| the release of the three men. 1t al
legged that the subpoena duces tecum
with which they were served to pro
duce their books before the senate
did not particularly describe the books
they were to produce, that it was not
supported by oath or affirmation and
that it was not signed by the pres1-
dent of the senate. 1t is also alleged
that the powers of the Helm commit
tee are inadequate.

TAFT THANKS HOUSE
PRESIDENT URGES SPEEDY RE-
ClPROCITY ACTION IN NEW
YORK SPEECH.
SAYS ANNEXATION TALK BOSH
Compact With Canada Must Be Taken
Up Now or Never Says CHIEF
Executive in Address Before
Newspaper Men.

New York.-President Taft openly
thanked the Democratic house Of
representatives for the stand it has
taken on the question Of Canadian
reciprocity when he spoke at the an
nual banquet of the Associated Press
and the American Newspaper Pub
fishers association at the Waldorf
Astoria.
His address was the first Of a
series in which he plans to evoke pub
lie sentiment in support of his poll
cies, and he appealed to the company
of editors and newspaper owners,
gathered from the length and the
breadth of the land, to impress on the
public mind that reciprocity should
stand alone and Ought not to be af-
fected in any regard by other amend
ments to the tariff law"
All talk of annexation he character
lied as "bosh," and said that the
United States has all ii can attend
to with the territory it is now gov
erning.
He praised the house of representa-
tives for it's passage of the agree
ment; declared that it would not in
jure the farmer nor any special class,
answered in detail the objections
that have been raised to reciprocity
and begged for at least "a kind OF
test" to dispel the ghosts exhibited
to brighten the agricultural classes"
President Taft devoted the greater
part of his address to the Canadian
reciprocity agreement
He said that the proposed agree
ment was not liked by some because
they say the farmers are not well
cared for in that meats and flour are
left out of the agreement. The truth
about this is, he said, that this coun-
try offered to put all commodities of
both countries on the free trade list,
but the Canadian commissioners
would not accept among other things
meats and flour for the simple rea-
son that they felt the American rails
ers of meats and flour would be able
to undersell the Canadian producers
in Canada. This, he argued, shows
clearly that since Americans could
undersell Canadians in Canada, Cana
dams would not be able to affect the
American market in such way as
to reduce the prices of these article
for American consumers. Consequent.
ly, he pointed out, there was no rea'
son why Americans should want such
items on the free trade list.
President Taft objected vigorously
to the proposition that is being made
to gratuitously put these items on the
list and said that If we were not care
full, we might, under the favored ma
tons clause in many of our interna
tional agreements, find ourselves ma
king free trade with the entire world
If we put them in the Canadian
treaty.
'If any objection" he said, "can
be made to the treaty on the ground
that any particular class derived less
profit from it than other classes, then
1t is the manufacturer of the country
who ought to object, because the
treaty in it's nature will not enlarge
his market as much as it will that OF
the farmer"

PLANT TREES.

II in rs years the present supply ot
timber In this country will be exhaust
ed. at the present rate of consumption.
the admonition to plant trees becomes
eloquent with meaning. There is
great value in trees, says the Kansas
City Times. The big lumber fortunes
have been made in the main, not in
buying and selling lumber, nor even
in buying vast tracts Of timber land
and holding them for the inevitable
advances in timber prices incident to
the rapidly decreasing supply. Now,
it would not profit any man or cor
poration to buy large areas OF land
that could be profitably used for agri-
culture, fruit growing or grazing, and
set them In trees; but it would be
profitable for all who own timber
lands that could not be profitably
used for other purposes to maintain
them as permanent forests, using
only the matured trees and cutting
them and clearing the slash in such a
way as to give the best possible pro-
lection to the immature timber. Al
So it would be profitable to every
owner of land to plant trees on any
part of it that cannot be utilized for
ether purposes. If this great nation
could inspire its landholders with
this one purpose for a given time, to
the end that all land that should be
planted with trees would be SO plant
ed, the problem of the future lumber
supply would be solved.

ONE-THIRD OF LITTLE MAINE
CITY IN ASHES-THOUSANDS
ARE HOMELESS.
SWEEPS PATH TWO MILES LONG
Churches, Business Blocks and Public
Buildings Burned.-Use of Dyna.
mite UnavaiIing to Stop
Flames.

Bangor, Maine. - One-third Of
the city of Bangor is in ruins, thou
sands of persons are homeless and a
property loss estimated at 100000
was sustained as the result of a night
confagration which ragged for hours.
Starting in hay shed on Broad street,
the fire swept along Broad and Ex-
change streets through the heart of
the city, leaving residences, churches,
schools, business blocks and all the
public buildings with the exception of
the city hall, a mass of smoking ashes.
For many hours the firemen of Ban
gor, assisted by men and apparatus
from other Maine cities, battled
against the blaze before they con-
quered it. Dynamite proved Of little
avail. Buildings were blown up, but
the flames easily leaped the chasms
thus made and it was not until the
wind, which had been blowing almost
a gale during the night, shifted and
a light rain fell, that there was any
indication that the firemen would win.
Cheered by the help from this un-
expected quarter the fire fighting
forces were concentrated nearly two
miles from the start of the blaze and
there the spread of flames was check
ed at midnight.
But while the rain and the shifting
of the wind to the east saved the rest
of the city from destruction, it only
added to the discontinue of thousands
who had seen their homes go up in
flames and who were huddled together
in the streets.
