NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

Il have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as 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 lady friend
sof mine who, when a child, was af.
ficted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer 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 we'll.
"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 seen 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 Cuticurm ONT
ment. 1t made his arm as timber and
nice, whereas 1t was quite stiff before
l 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 ONT
ment to the part affected. 1t soothed
1t and in less than ten nights 1t was
all healed through constant use of the
Ointment. Ten days ago I had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. have just
recommended the Clticura 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

Idea a Mere Makeshift.

The Democratic principle of rev.
enue tariff needs no commission at all
to apply it, and the task of framing
the schedules would be comparatively
simple. If the theory of protection is
once admitted to be right, much may
be said in favor of commission. But
to those who deny this proposition the
commission can appear only as a
makeshift.

In Kansas, according to Auditor

Party,s Faith Not Kent.

The present tariff law was enacted
in pursuance OF a pledge to revise the
tariff downward, The violation of the
pledge was so fragrant that number
of Republican senators and repre-
sentatives voted against the bill on its
final passage. Such is the record, and
such are the results Of tariff revision
by the friends Of the tariff. In not one
of these cases was faith kept with the
people. In not one was there fair,
reasonable and downward revision of
the tariff.

Butter and Microbes.

Butter is an excellent breeding
place for bacteria which tend to de.
compose it until it is useless as food.
unless 1t is kept in cold place. Salt
also retards their growth. but has this
disadvantage. that it makes the de.
composition difficult to detect either
by taste or smell. Hence the prefer.
ence for sweet butter by those who
are particular about having it fresh.

CONSIDERED ONLY A PART
Commerce Commission Took Up Only
Portion Of Dubuque Bridge Case
on Which to Base Ruling That Tolls
Are Not Extortionate.

sion in the Dubuque bridge case yes
terday came so long after the case was
subni.ied-over two years that II ap-
pears from, the brief report Of the de-
cisioa. only part of the case was con-
sidered. The case was argued to the
commission by Attorney General BY
e-s on behalf OF the state railroad
commission.
In his ars,gmen. and presentation
Mr.. Bve-s claim ID both unlawfu! dis
elimination and an unreasonable
charge.
The testimony which was taken be-
fore Commissioner Clark. showed that
.lle bridge is owned by the Illinois
Central. tina. il cost originally about
nlilion dollars. and the total outlay for
construction, taxes. repairs and main
tenance in -he forty years aggregates
about So 900
Il was further shown that the total
income for the same period was some
thing like 5000. 900. The annual In
come now is about $4,000.
Il was argued that in view OF the
fact that the bridge Is IN fact owned
by the Illinois Central and its cost has
been paid over and over again for
service, the bridge arbitrary OF 25
cents for all passengers crossing ex-
cept chose between Dubuque and Chi
cago should be Cancelled and the bridge
be made free.
In support OF the part relating to
unrea SCRABBLE charges comparison was
made with similar bridges where the
amount charged is less.

nerce commission has decided that the

fully Collected on Capital Invested in
Government Sends and Real Estate
Already Taxsd-other News Of the
STATE.

Council Bluffs, March 1.-The First
filed in the office Of the county auditor
claim for refund Of taxes or the cap
tal stock of the bank for the years
1905 to 1909 inclusive. baSing the claim
on the following contentious:
1t is claimed that the capital stock Of
the bank is exempt from taxation be-
cause the institution is national
bank: that the assets OF the bank 10 the
extent of approximately 100000 are
invested in government bonds, which
are worcestershire; that after deduct
ing the taxes on real estate belonging
10 the bank and the funds invested in
United States bonds there is nothin g
left of the capital stock to be assessed
and that the tax is Illegal anyway.
Total Claim $24.2s1.29.
The list OF stockholders of the bank
who are parties OF the claim includes
E. E Hart. E. L. Shugart, C. C. Saund-
ers, j. D. Edmundson. Ruth Harl. j. P.
Greenshieids, Walter L. Smith and
many others. The amounts claimed
for the separate years in question are
given as follows 1905, ss7osss: 1906,
s4.59S.l6 1907, s5,37S.l2; 1908. IS, s05.21;
1909. $4799s2, the total amounting TO
the respectable sum Of s2.2S1.29
Future Action Not Known.

the decision recently handed down by
the district court in suit by the bank
against the city of Council Bluffs for a
remission of certain taxes on grounds
practically identical with those on
which the claim against the county IS
based What action will be taken by
the county authorities is not known but
It is probable that ii the claim Is de-
MED by the board Of supervisors the
bank will start suit TO recover the
money.
