SCALES ALL OVER HER BODY

"Allow me to say a few words In
praise of the Cuticura Remedies.
About three years ago. was affected
by white scales on my knees anC
elbows. / consulted a doctor who
treated me for ringworm. saw no
change and consulted a specialist and
he claimed l had psoriasis. l contin-
ued treatment under him for about six
months until / saw scales breaking
out all over my body save my face.
My scalp was affected. and my hair
began to fall. l then changed doctors
to no avail. I went to two hospitals
and each wanted to make a study Of
the case and seemed unable to cure
1t or assure me Of cure. / tried sev-
eral patent medicines and was finally
advised by friend who has used
Cuticura on her children since their
birth, to purchase the Cuticura Rem
edies. purchased a cake Of Soap, the
Ointment and the Resolvent. After
the first application, the itching was
allayed.
81 am still using the Soap and Oint-
ment and now feel that none other is
good enough for my skin. The psor-
iasls has disappeared and I every
where feel better. My hands were so
disfigured before using the Cuticura
Remedies that l had to wear gloves
all the time. Now my body and hands
are looking fine" (Signed) Miss

was considered as testimony to the
fact that the party in power had moth
ing to conceal. since II admitted the
outs to it's councils, and that II was
sincerely desirous Of giving New York
a business administration In which all
factions and parties should be repre-
ssnted. There was truth In the con-
tention, too The only faction or party
that would not be represented by this
alliance would be the common people.
Wiser heads, however, realized that
altruistic methods were inconsistent
entirely with the real spirit Of either
party and saw in the alliance a con-
fession of weakness. And the editorial
contingent OF the Gormly papers
seized upon this idea and made the
most OF It. In the beginning. CORN
ly's Advertisements, including his po-
litical manifestos. had been printed
in every paper in the city. They were
paid for as other advertisements are
and why notf But the Sachem so
ciety had put the screws on certain
journals which owed much to its infiu-
ence. and because OF this pressure
they had summarily refused any more
OF Gormly's unique proclsmations.
They professed themselves entirely
ready TO print his business advertise
ments NJ the usual rates. Gormly
rctaliated. of course, by Withdrawing
all advertising Of any sort from them.

every direction. Before the enemy
realized II. ample time had been So
cured In every possible assembly
room and there were nightly meetings
all over the city.
In the Gormly store itself was a
great auditorium In which free con-
certs, lectures, and entertainments
had been given for the employees and
patrons of the store. This auditorium
had outside entrances and -sIuld be
completely out of from the other
business. Every afternoon he assem-
bled In the auditorium the workers
and speakers. and every afternoon
there was the freest possible discus
sion OF the issues. OF what was to be
said in the speeches OF the night. OF
the places to be covered. The man
showed a genius for leadership and
direction that was amazing He de-
veloped power OF succinctly pre-
senting the facts. which in large
measure he was able to communicate
to his followers.
Livingstone Haldans's example had
been followed by not q few young men
of fortune and position. 1t became in
a certain sense among q certain set
the fashion to campaign for Gormly.
Automobiles OF all sorts were avail
able for transporting speakers. and
classes and social distinctions were
volved. BY these methods what was
picturssqusly described In the city pa
pers as q whirlwind campaign was
inaugurated.
II must not be supposed that the
opposition was idle; by no means.
Never had it's activities been so great.
its energies SO manifestly put forth.
II had welcomed with Joy the news OF
the refusal of Gormly to become the
candidate of the minority party. LII
fey had at once decided In his own
mind that that settled the issue. Even
farther sighted men like Rutherford
were Of the same opinion. Haldane
alone. the wisest. shrewdest, and
sblsst Of the group. was not con-
vinced, and under his vigorous though
secret urgings the ring redoubled its
efforts to beat the man.
At the proper time the proposition
from the party In power 70 make
combination with the outs was sprung
upon the public. It was hailed on one
side as an evidence Of the fairness
Of the party in power and the Sachem
society. which many people imagined
needed no alliance OF that kind. 1t
