Nostrums of the reformers are
worse than the evils Of concentrated
wealth.
Leaders in the middle of the road
are gradually solving the problem Of
industrial and financial reform.
A God-fearing, sober, Intelligent peo-
Pile can be relied upon to work out
safely and sanely the national prob
lens set before them.
The Senate's allegation that the ar
bitration treaties would be breeders
of war" is wholly in error.
The treaties will not open the door

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Aug. 23.-On
the eve of his forty-day swing around
the circle on which Republican leaders
expect him to define the issues for
the campaign of 1912, President Taft
tonight announced himself unalter-
ably opposed to the "nostrums" of re-
form which, he declared, demagogues
and theoretical extremists have ad-
vanced for the solution of the problem
of concentrated wealth in this coun-
try.
The President SPOKE to the veterans
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
and he found in the struggle which
they went through fifty years ago and
the one which, he said, now confronts
this nation, striking analogy, al
though the struggle of today, he de-
clared, would be bloodless.
Cure Worse Than Disease.
Higher aims for the betterment Of
society, these new evils growing out Of
the concentration of wealth and these
combinations, which, properly con-
trolled, are great good in the reduc-
ton of the cost of production" said
the President, "have invited from the
active minded of today suggestions of
remedies that are so extreme that the
medicine to many of us seems worse
than the disease.
"Those of us who are charged with
the responsibility and sobered with
the difficulties find ourselves in the
middle of the road, resisting the ten
dency to socialism on the one hand
and the inertia of reactionary content
ment with present evils, and ambition
for greater concentration of financial
power on the other, but we are grad
ually solving the problem.
People May Be Trusted.

your experience and your success, to

CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA

Il can't tell in words how happy the
word 'Cuticura' sounds to me, for it
cured my baby of itching, torturing
eczema. II first came when she was
between three and four weeks old,
appearing on her head. / used every
thing imaginable and had one doc
tors bill after another, but nothing
cured it, Then the eczema broke out
so badly behind her ear that l really
thought her ear would come of. For
months doctored it but to no avail.
Then It began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing but sores. / had to
keep her in dark room for two
weeks. The doctor did no good, SO /
stopped him coming
For about two weeks I had used
Cuticura Soap for her every day,
then got a box Of Cuticura Ointment
and began to use that. In a week
there was marked improvement. In
all used two cakes of Cuticura Soap
and one box Of Cuticura Ointment and
my baby was cured of the sores. This
was last November; now her hair Is
growing out nicely and she has not
scar on her. can not praise Cuti-
cura enough, can take my child any
where and people are amazed to see
her without a sore. From the time
she was four weeks old until she was
three years she was never without the
terrible eruption, but now. thanks to

Castle Ashby and Its Texts

Castle Ashby. the residence Of the
marquis OF Northampton, stands alone
among all the stately homes of Eng
land" as embodying in its architectural
features texts of Scripture in solid
masonry set out for every one to see
in the most prominent places possible.
The porter's lodge at the entrance to
the mansion bears ON its cornice the
inscription in Latin. "The Lord pro-
serve thy coming in" and on the in
ner cornice the text, "The Lord pre-
serve thy going out" The same ideas
have been carried out In the design
of the balustrades of the terraces sur
rounding the lawns and flower beds,
which make the gardens of Castle
Ashby among the most beautiful in
the country.
The mansion itself is unique. as all
its pediments are composed of texts
of Scripture In Latin. Commencing at
the south end of the west wing is the
inscription, in bold letters, Except
the Lord. the Keeper. keep the house,
in vain he watches who keeps It."
Then follows another inscription
dated 1924. the year the house was
completed, Except the Lord build the
house. they have labored in vain who
