was completely covered. He was losing flesh
so rapidly that we became alarmed and de-
cided to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
Not until / commenced using Cuticura
Soap and Ointment could we tell what he
looked like, as we dared not wash him, and
! had been putting one application after
another on him. On removing the scale from
his head the hair came of, and left him
entirely bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has as much
hair as ever. Four weeks after we began to
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment he was
entirely cured. don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Remedies
we could hardly look at him, he was such
a pitiful sight. He would fuss until would
treat him, they seemed to relieve him so much.

Cattle Market Is Strong.

Only single load OF cattle came
forward to the local yards this morn
ing and It was not offered during the
early day It was shipped in by A.
L. Demaris from Lowden. Wash, and
was of excellent quality. stock ship
ped by Mr.. Demaris always attracts
the largest crowd OF buyers to the
yards.
Conditions in the cattle trade here
are similar to those shown during the
past few days. The wants of killers
are just about being supplied by the
importations from the outside. and
for that reason indications point to
a favorable future.

Taking the Englishman's comment as

no means dispirited,'' said Mr.. Thomp-

improvement shown in conditions there
and elsewhere in the country. There

that it will not be wise to have a change
In administration. OHIO is normally a
republican state. and our hope is that
regular republicans will refuse to leave
their party, and that thousands of
democrats will join with us in giving
the electoral vote of the state to Mr..
Taft"
The worst trouble the Ohio republicans
are having now is in getting money
to carry on their campaign Of education
through speakers and publications. A
representative of the state committee
has been in Washington. and went home
with some fair contributions, but there
is need, it is said, for all that Ohio

Germany-in-B Brazil Bugaboo.
From the Cleveland Leader.


When alarmists run short of sensations
they often fall back upon the dark de-
signs which Germany is said to have upon
Brazil. They tell those who have nothing
better to do than to give heed to their
prophesies of tremendous attacks upon
the Monroe doctrine that Germany is
filling the southern part OF Brazil with
colonists, the men, of course. being
trained soldiers who have served their
time in the regular army Of the foremost
military power Of the world. When the
plot is ripe these soldiers are to seize the
of Brazil and turn that re-
public into a South American annex to
the German empire.
Of solid fact through such bubbles OF the
imagination, but the truth must be told.
Last year the whole number Of immi-
grants that entered Brazil was 1873 GIG.
OF that total 48, 754 came from Portugal.
27,OO7 from Spain. 22,S21 from Italy,
13, 1913 from Russia, including Russian
Poland, 1888 from Syria, and only 4, 22:33
from Germany. About 1900 came from
Austria, France, Great Britain. Sweden
and other countries.
At that rate about how long will ii take
to put the Germans in control Of any
part of Brazil? And at about what date
will the German colonists be ready to
tear the Monroe doctrine to pieces after
disposing Of the Brazilian government
and the Brazilians?
