WASHINGTON.-Troops OF the Unit
w ed States army are in readiness
to be rushed to Cuba to maintain
peace and protect American and other
foreign interests.
Officials OF the war department look
for a crisis in the affairs of the island
republic. The last time, 1906, that
the United States interviewed in Cuba
the then president Of the United
States, Theodore Roosevelt. and the
secretary of war, William II. Taft. de-
ciared that If this country was again
called in to settle disputes between
factions of the Cuban government and
maintain peace throughout the island
the Stars and Stripes would remain
there.
Officials Of the state and war de-
paTtments have been kept In close
touch with affairs in Cuba ever since
the evacuation by American troops
less than three years ago. Within the
last six months reports and informa.
ton received from American repre-.
sentatives in the island have indicat-
ed that the Cuban government was
not substantial and could exist but a
few months longer. Within the last
three weeks the reports have been SO
discouraging that the wal department
has felt the necessity of keeping 5000

highly specialized forms. particularly
the taking of morphine In pills or by
hypodermic injection.
As fast as a stop Is put to one
method of procuring or using the
drug, another springs up in response
to an unfailing and always profitable
demand. For instance, the average
apothecary nowadays finds a large
and unprecedented demand for "co
deine'-one of the aIkaloids. or active
principles, of opium. 1t is only aboui
one-third a. powerful as morphine, but
acts similarly. The sale of morphine
is forbidden by law nearly every
where at the present time, except on
prescription by a physician, but in
most of the states there is no such
restriction in regard to codeine-
whence the growing popularity of the
latter.
The sale of "heroin' also has great

restrictions on opium and morphine
This is what chemists would term a

Experts Work on Water Power Policy

nave criticised it and approved ii.
The basis of the plan is develop
ment without delay of water power
sites. The plan holds that private
capital must be aided by the state or
nation through corporate franchises,
condemnation of private property. and
licenses to use public lands and OBJ
struct public waters. etc Under the
plan, the power companies would have
certainty Of tenure for a reasonable
time, and a chance for generous
profits on their actual investment. For
the public, the plan attempts to pro-
vide for good service, fair prices. full
publicity as to cost, honest capitaliza-
ton and fair rentals for public prop
erty used by the companies.
The plan comedies that the federal
government has no Jurisdiction in
dealing with the problem of power
sites unless its land is to be occupied,
or navigable rivers affected. 1t is pro-
posed that the regulation of service
and prices is to be a function of the
state, leaving 10 the national govern
ment the duty of obtaining prompt,
full and orderly development, a rea-
sonable time limit for the leases, pub
licity as to inanciering and fair rent

of development following the build

how the position OF leading vhess

that of the United States, and only
five per cent OF Canada's western agTf

There are ITO. 900, 900 acres OF wheat

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

Il have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work. as a nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every in
stance, / always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case in
particular was that of a lady friend
of mine who, when a child, was af-
dicted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with torture. She
could not go to school as the disfigure-
ment looked terrible. ! told her to get
at once a set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use of only one set she was
perfectly well.
"A grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall of the year. They used to
be SO painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
/ have also see them cure children
Of ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck and after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism On his
arm and / used the Cuticura Oint
ment. 1t made his arm as timber and
nice, whereas it was quite stiff before
| began to apply the Ointment.
Last May / had an ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side of the nail was edging right
down in the side of my toe. / cut
the nail out of the cavity it made, and
Of course applied the Cuticura Oint-
ment to the part affected. It soothed
1t and in less than ten nights it was
all healed through constant use of the
Ointment Ten days ago l had nv
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard. and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. I have just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend, and she is pleased
with the results and is recovering
nicely. I will gladly furnish the
names of the people referred to above
