STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS

Some nine years ago 1 noticed
small pimples breaking out on the
back Of my hands. They became very
irritating, and gradually became
worse, SO that l could not sleep at
night. 1 consulted a physician who
treated me a long time, but it got
worse, and l could not put my hands
in water. l was treated at the hos
pital, and it was just the same. 1 was
told that it was very bad case Of
eczema. Well, l just kept on using
everything that l could for nearly
eight years until 1 was advised to try
Cuticura Ointment. 1 did so, and
found after few applications and by
bandaging my hands well up that the
burning sensations were disappearing,
l could sleep well, and did not have
any itching during the night. began
after a while to use Cuticura Soap for
a wash for them, and l think by using
the Soap and Ointment l was much
benefited. l stuck to the Cuticura
treatment, and thought If could use
other remedies for over seven years
with no result, and after only having
a few applications and finding ease
from Cuticura Ointment, l thought 1t
deserved a fair trial with a severe
and stubborn case. 1 used the Oint-
ment and Soap for nearly six months,
and 1 am glad to say that I have
hands as clear as anyone.
'It is my wish that you publish this
letter to all the world, and if anyone
doubts it, let them write me and l
will give them the name Of my physi-
clan, also the hospital l was treated
at" (Signed) Miss Mary A. Bentley,

l.AS FOR the RICH ALSO
PRESIDENT TAFT BELIEVES PRIS-
ON NOT FOR POOR ALONE.
Wealthy Lumberman Violated Peon-
age Laws and Must Serve
Prison Sentence.

Washington, D. C.-In denying a
pardon to w. S. Harlan, wealthy man
ager of lumber and turpentine COM
pany in Florida and Alabama who
had beed found guilty of violating the
peonage laws, President Taft init
mated of what big business may ex-
pect if the government is successful
in the criminal prosecutions against
the bathtub trust and illegal combi-
nations.
Fines are not effective against
men of wealth." the president says in
his decision. Imprisonment is neces-
sary."
Harlan was found guilty of violat-
ing the peonage statues and was SEN
fenced to IS months in prison and
fined $4,000. In a review of the case
affirming the sentence the president
says
When man of high business un.
derstanding and large enterprises is
found kuilty of the offense the pun
ishment should be such as to deter
others from such practice. am
aware of the arduous character OF
confinement in Jail to a man of Mr..
Harlan's standing, and | should be
glad to yield to the pleas of his
friends, but | cannot do so. To re-
lieve man from the penalty of i'm
prisonment when properly sentenced
would give real ground for the con-
tention so often heard that it is only
the poor criminals who really are
punished

Bad Price. BAD Work.

Craftsmanship used to be the key

tries to produce quickly a rotten and

sell at bad price in enormous Quanti-

Wilbur Wright senior of the two avla'

director of the company. Russell Alger
another director and son of the former
Secretary of War, is slated TO receive the
next machine completed. How many 9TH

Der of machines to be delivered in the

AS TO the price of flying machines. he
gave utterance to characteristic eX-
preston. The Wright company has an
nounced a price that is just half what the
Bleriot machines are reported to be sell
ing for i'm France This was commented
on. and he remarked, with a smile:
We'll, If YOU are in the business OF
making and selling flying machines, or
anything ehSe where is the use OF putting
a price on them that only half dozen

HIGH MASONIC OFFICIAL
Statement That He Had Been Sue

REPORT SURPRISES MEMBERS
Though Sick, There Has Been No
Change Made in Office
He Occupies.

\ feeling amounting almost to conster-
nation among members of the Ancient
and Accepted Scottish Rite Free Masons
was caused today by the publication of
an alleged announcement that Grand
Prior George +. Moore OF the Supreme
Council for the Southern Jurisdiction of
the United States had been selected by
the Supreme Council as acting sovereign
grand commander. because of the alleged
nervous breakdown of Sovereign Grand
Commander James d. Richardson,
Friends of Mr.. Richardson, who has
been confined for some time in his apart
ments at the House of the Temple, 4S3
Sd street northwest. attended by Mrs.
Richardson, were apprehensive that his
illness had assumed serious phase.
At once inquiries, local and Geographic,
began to pour in upon Secretary Cen
eral Chamberlain for the facts.
Inspector General Charles f. Rosen-
baum of Little Rock. Ark. treasurer
general OF the Supreme Council, who is
in the city, said today:
Richardson Not Dangerously Ill.
There seems to be a total misappre-
hension in some quarters, at least, of the
true state of affairs.
''Grand Commander Richardson is
sick man, but not dangerously ill., He
needs rest and recreation. The duties of
his office are onerous and exacting. They
have Slapped his nervous vitality, So that
his physician has commanded rest as the
only relief.
AT MIR. Richardson's suggestion men,
bers of the Supreme Council who were in
the city attending meeting of the board
of directors of the New Age. the official
organ of the rite, took up the matter with
the remaining members Of the Supreme
Council. with the view of having some
one designated to attend to the duties of
the Office of the grand commander until
Mr.. Richardson's health permitted a re-
sumption of his work. He suggested
Grand Prior Moore for the purpose, and
Mr.. Moore consented. That, briefly, is all
there is to it.
We hope that trip south and COM
plete rest will bring Grand Commander
Richardson around again in very few
weeks at most.
MIR. Richardson has not been super
seeded as grand commander of the rite
He is not going to be. There is no rea
son why he should be. And what has
been done has been done upon his initia-
tive and at his own suggestion and re-
quest His illness is not dangerous, but
it is troublesome. ! think he will be back
to his duties as grand commander within
very brief period
