The HAIR WILL SUFFER
Unless the Right Remedy Is Used.

Eczema of the scalp is one of the
most annoying forms Of this wide
spread disease. The sure cure for 1t
is Resinol ointment. A child whose
head was so encrusted that the hair
was almost ~obliterated was practical
ly cured in eight days. The scalp was
washed with Resinol soap and the-l
Resinol ointment was applied. Resi-
mol stops itching instantly. 1t cures
eczema on any surface of the body.
Every form of eruptive skin disease
yields to Resinol ointment. It cures
ringworm, BARRIERS itch, psoriasis,
letter, herpes. erythema, scald head
and other irritating and eruptive skin
diseases. As a dressing for burns
and scalds Resinol is unequalled. A
Resinol soap shampoo will stop dan
druff and used with Resinol ointment
always facilitates the cure. Resinol
ointment is put up in opal Jars in two
sizes, fifty cents and a dollar. At all

steel and the Tariff.

The Democrats will be sustained by
public opinion in any effort they may
make to remove the inequalities and
intustices which characterize u pres
emit tariff law. 1t ought to be possible
for them, with the help of the insur-
gents, which we have no doubt can be
had, to improve matters very consid-
erably. Campaign speakers next year
will not find 1t easy to convince the
people that the United States Steel
corporation-better known as the
trust-needs any protection. There
are some things, of course, on which
it is possible to stand pat, but that is
not n of them. There Is 70 reason
why tin plate should cost more here
than abroad. At least 1T may be said
that the present margin between the
domestic and the foreign prices is
much too great.

HAVE CHANCE TO MAKE GOOD
Democratic Opportunity Is Here and
Leaders Of the Party Must
Recognize II.

The first session of a Democratic
house Of representatives for sixteen
years is OF. This exclusion of the
Democratic party from the control of
the representative branch is the long
est continuous one on record. That
which extended through the Civil war
and reconstruction periods was strict
ly two terms less, the first congress
of the Lincoln administration having
been turned from Democratic to Re-
publican by the secession Of southern
members, and the conversion of many
northern Democrats to the support of
the administration. :
The long period Of experience on
the outside for the Democrats was due,
to Democratic stupidity just as the re-
cent loss of the house by the Repub-
licans was caused by Republican
faulty. 1t is one of the instructive
facts of u politics for the past twen-
ty years that political o%verturns have
been caused not by the virtues of the
outsiders who won, but by the blunders
or offenses of the insiders, who paid
the penalty by losing. The Demo
Gratis in 1895 and 1896 saddled them
selves with the free silver craze and
for eight terms thereafter have
regained power. The Republicans last
year handicapped themselves with
standpattism and are now on the ex-
terror.
The lesson should rot be lost on the
present situation. The Democrats
start out with roseate hopes and glow
ing promises. But the real test will be
in performance. And as the whole is
sue seems to center about the tariff, II
both parties al eschew maneuvers
for political advantage and agree upon
a moderate tariff, which will stay re-
vised, the relief Of the country from
further uncertainty will be welcome

a Started the Canal"

The Bombastes Furioso of tragic in.
cention has his occasional counterpart
off the mimic stage. Note the follow.
Ing staggering confession of Colonel
Roosevelt on his travels in California,
broadly describing the method EN-
ployed in the seizure of the canal zone:
II am interested in the Panama ca
nal because ! started it. If | had fol
lowed traditional, conservative meth,
dds l would have submitted a digni-
fed state paper of probably two hun
bred pages to congress, and the de-
bate on 1t would have been going on
yet; but l took the canal zone and
let congress debate, and while the de.
bate goes on the canal does also"
The territory belonged to the neigh
boring state Of Colombia. Il took it,"
a Y the colonel. II started the ca
nal" says the colonel.
BY the time the canal shall have
been finished and paid for the people
of the United States will be out Of
pocket some $500, 000, 900. 1t will take
$12, 900, 900 more to fortify it; and
about $4,000, 900 per year to maintain
an army of occupation.
A bill was introduced in the last
congress and passed by the house,
which provided that: "All the mill
tary, civil and judicial powers Of the
United States in the canal zone, in
| Guiding the power to make all laws,
rules and regulations necessary for
the government of the canal zone,
shall be vested in the president"
This would practically establish a
monarchy, over which the president
would rule as king. 1t is quite in line
with the Rooseveltian preach and
practice. 1t is safe to say, however,
that no such grant of autocratic power
will be approved by the present con-
gress. 1t was a happy day for the
country when the Rough Rider ceased
to be president and went on his trav-
els in Africa.

THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race,
Age and Condition.

OF all the diseases of the skin and
scalp which torture and d~isfigure nan
kind, th~ree-fourths are eczematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and it
is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect in infancy
and childhood, Irritating conditions af-
fecting the skin, ignorance OF its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is a skin disease. 1t is not re-
garded as hereditary, nor contagious,
and is impartially distributed among
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning of
the skin, causing loss of sleep, is usual
ly the most distressing symptom and Is
caused by the bursting of little vesicles
filled with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. New
vesicles form, fill and burst, scales
form upon scales, and crusts upon
crusts until Disagreement is added to
torture.
One of the most successful treat
mehts for eczema, whether applied to
the youngest infant or the oldest per-
son, is hot baths with Cuticura Soap
and gentle anointings of Cuticura oint-
ment. For more than a generation,
these pure, sweet and gentle emolli-
ents have proved the most efficient
agents in the speedy and permanent
relief of all forms of eczemas, rashes,
itchings and irritations of the skin and
scalp. Although Cuticura soap and
ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, in order that
those who have suffered long and
hopelessly and who haze lost faith in
everything may make trial of them
without charge, a liberal sample of
each will be mailed free to any ad-
dress, together with a 32-page pamph-
let, giving a description and treatment
of the various forms of eczema, as
well as other affections of the skin,
scalp, hair and hands-send to "Cutt-
cura," Dept. w, Boston.

Or. Chalmers Mitchell Doubts u
Natural Deaths Occur Among Any
Animals Including Man.

DR.. Chalmers Mitchell, secretary Of
the Geological Society Of London. In
a lecture on Problems Of Animals in
Captivity" at the Royal institution,
said:
I'll is extremely doubtful II a really
natural death yer does occur In any
kind of animal, including man."
Doctor Mitchell supported Metchni-
koff's theory that the changes OF
senility are the result Of external ac-
cidents, Of the poisons of various dis
es.ses or Of unsanitary conditions. II
all these causes we're removed most
animals, including men, would live to
a far greater age than they do now.
TO an animal living In q perfectly
hygienic world, sheltered from all
diseases, death would eventually come
as the result Of the slow accumulation
OF waste matters Of all kinds In the
tissues.

THE PRICE OF
LAND INCREASING
THE "BAcK TO THE LAND" CRY
is EFFECTIVE.

Travelling through the state of Iowa
the other day, and Iowa is no excep-
ton to the story about to be related,
the writer was shown a farm that was
offered three years ago for $3.50 an
acre. That appeared to be a high fig
ure for land upon which the owner
depended upon the crops Of corn, hogs
and cattle that could be raised upon
it. But 1t wasn't. A few weeks since
the farm changed hands at 1925 an
acre. Over in Illinois, down in In
diana, up in Wisconsin, across the
line in Minnesota, the same expert
ence was met with. And then atten-
ton is directed to Canada, which has
been the Mecca Of so many hundred
thousand Americans during the past
few years. Not only in Eastern Can
ada has the price of lands increased,
but in Western Canada, during the
past few weeks, farm lands have in
creased from three to five dollars an
acre, with the prospect of a similar
advance during the next three months.
The reason for this is very apparent.
and in a few words it may be pointed
out that the lands are worth a great
deal more than the present prices.
The Northwestern Agriculturist of
Minneapolis, a paper that was n of
the first of the American farm papers
to discover the real merits of the
lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, says: 1.-The reciprocity sched-
ule would encourage American farm
ers to move to Canada, where the vir-
gin soil will produce greater crops of
grain with less labor than can be pro
duced in our own farms in the North
west. The result will be to enhance
land values In Canada" This paper
Is afraid land values in Canada will be
enhanced at the expense of land
values in the United States. In face
of the fact that land values in the
United States are increasing the rea-
soning scarcely holds. The reason for
the advance ips value Of Canadian
lands is partly accounted from the
fact, admitted by this paper, that Can
ada's virgin soil will produce greater
crops of grain with less labor" But
that is not the only reason. During
the past twelve months $4,000 PEG
pie have made Canada their home anC
these are mostly of the farming class
They want farms, and the demand az
well as the wealth of the soil is regu
lating the price. A study Of the in
crease in the acreage of land put I'm
der crop last year, which can be ha(
from any Canadian government repre-
sentative, will prove the point, tina
the demand is increasing at a greater
ratio than even the most sanguin'
would have predicted.

the cave meditating for a long half
hour, and had become sleepy over it,

He uttered a bark close by, and she
heard a human voice not far away
crying out:

At the back end of the cave there
was a small tunnel between Jagged
rocks. The girl thought she heard

odor became more pronounced.

whined.

Mr.. Wentworth's Dog
Icopyighs. IoII. By As.Ooiaiod Literary Press)
By DONALD ALLEN

It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon
on a certain day when Miss Ethel
Blaine left the manor house known
as The Willows for a walk down the
highway and then a turn to the left
into the hills. There was a cave there
among the rocks and s~crubpines, and
it was her intention to pay it a visit.
At just the same hour. on the same
afternoon, Mr.. Hugh Wentworth left
the manor house known as The Pop
lars for a walk up the highway and
then turn to the right into the hills.
There were cartridges among the
pines, and he had his gun along to
make victims. He was accompanied
By his dog. 1t wasn't a high-bred dog
and a thing of beauty, but he had a
mission to perform before getting OF
theNearth.
The distance between The VIII
lows and The Poplars was two miles
There wasn't a willow within three
miles Of The Willows and there wasn't
q poplar within four miles of The Pop
lars. Miss Blaine had just returned
home from a year out west, and Mr.
Wentworth had been civil engineer
ing in the south.
Miss Ethel found the ave all right
1t wasn't much of a cave. One sit
ting down in 1t was only four feet
from the entrance.
There was romance there, however
One could sit down on a stone anc
hear the pines whispering, the SOUR
rels chattering and the partridgeE
clucking. One -ould think Of the In
dian maiden who committed suicide
there rather than wed a rich young
white man. Counterfeiters and horse
thieves had used that cave. Gallan'
knights had slept there and cooked
their W breakfast of bacon ant
eggs while out on tours to rescue
damsels all forlorn. Lovers had sa
there and pledged their vows.
No place could have been bette
