'0WHY SHOULD | USE.
CUTICURA S0AP?"

"There is nothing the matter with
my skin, and thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, it
is for skin troubles, but it's great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its delicate
cmollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered it the standard for this
purpose, while its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to it all the
advantages of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that it wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making its
use, in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura,"

crosser Has New /. and r. Plank.

Chairman Crosser of the initiative
and referendum committee has the
newly drafted initiative and referen,
dunn plank, which has been rewritten
to conform with the ideas adopted by
the |. and R. caucus.
He said he would call meeting of
the committee and have the plank re-
ported for passage by the convention.
This will place the proposal on the
calendar and it will come up in its
regular order-some time within the
next week. No more caucuses will
be held by the I. and R. men unless
important eXigencies arise.
Relatively to the distribution of
signatures on petitions, the plank pro.
vides as follows:
"One-half Of the total number of
counties of the state shall each be re.
Quired to furnish the signature OF

HARD QUESTION FOR MOTHER
InqulsitiVe Little One Sought Infor-
nation That Has Puzzled the
Wisest of Men.

Four-year-old Dorothy, being in a
thoughtful mood, wished to know
what she would be when she grew up.
Her mother told her she would be
first a young woman, then perhaps a
married woman, an old woman, a
grandmother and great-grandmoth'
er.
And after great-grandmother,
what?" Dorothy inquired.
Then you will die. Your soul will
go to heaven to live forever, and the
rest of you will be put under the soft
grass and flowers"
"Oh!" said Dorothy, and asked no
more questions at the time. When
her mother was undressing her for
bed that night, and the rosy little
figure stood uncovered, Dorothy said
eagerly:

Stillwell tried to amend by allowing
saloonkeeper one conviction of law

feated. Mr.. Jones tried to make the

tory, by substituting may for

Officials and the Short Ballot.

Practically all the present elective
state officers of Ohio say they favor
the short ballot, but when it is
brought down to brass tacks they
want it applied to the other fellow
and not to themselves. The proposal
that the short ballot committee has
recommended for passage provides
that only the governor, lieutenant
governor and auditor shall be elected;
and that the governor shall appoint a
cabinet" that shall consist of an at.
torney general, secretary of state and
other officers now elective. The con.
vention appears in mood at this
time to go the limit on the short bal
lot reform, and probably will-u:lless,
of course, there is too much pressure
from officeLolders who think they
have a better chance of remaining on
the public pay rolls under the present
system.

Bars Brewery Ownership.

It is largely the product of the mid
dle-of-the-road license men, supple
mented by the radical drys, who sue
ceeded in having written in nearly all
of the restrictions of the Anderson
substitute including revocation Of Ii
cense upon conviction of violation of
any regulatory law and clause de-
signed to prevent a state license
board.
It contains an inhibition against
brewery ownership of saloons. The
proposal leaves to municipalities the
limitation of the number of saloon le-
censes, but provides that no legisla-
ton shall authorize more than one
saloon for every 500 inhabitants in
municipalities of more than 500 popu-
lation.

utter rout of the unrestricted license
men, led by Judge F. R. King of Erie.
Attempts by Judge King and other

Columbus, O.-Delegates to the

voters the question of establishing a
restricted liquor license in the state.
In the event of it's defeat at the polls,

Radical license men expressed
themselves as dissatisfied with the
proposal agreed upon and many open
ly predicted its defeat at the polls.
Leaving to the committee on ar

of ironing out apparent inconsistent

passed on second reading, by a vote

Debate Limitation.


Mr., Lanpson presented his limita.
ton amendment. It was supported
by Delegates knight and Winn, who
asserted it was far too mild as re-
striction; and opposed by Delegates
Tallman, King, Redington, Fox and
Price. Mr.. Tallman declared it was
an attempt to turn license men
against license and divide the wet
forces. He created amusement by
saying the alcoholic principle was an
alagous in many ways to the human
soul "It is the alcoholic principle
that makes grain g-ow," said Mr..
Tallman.
Judge King scored the limitation
feature, which he asserted came from
outside the convention, while Mr..
Redington told fellow delegates that
the convention was looked upon with
scorn and Indifference because of its
course in dealing with questions be.

Defeat Means No License.

The peculiar patchwork result was
obtained through substitution of the
first two paragraphs of the middle-of-
the-road proposal, introduced by Dele
gate Harter of Huron, for the first
two paragraphs of Mr.. Andersons
substitute. The limitation paragraph
was an amendment by Mr.. Lampson.
Those who voted against adoption
were Delegates Brown of Lucas, Col
ton, Cunningham, DeFrees, Dunn,
Fitzpatrick, Mauck, Okey, Peters, Pet
tit, Read. Riley, Solether, Stevens,
Stewart, Tannehill, Walker and Wat
son. Messrs. Brown of Lucas, De
Frees and Riley are vets who could
not stomach the proposal as finally
drawn. President Bigelow did not
vote. Absentees were Delegates
Brown of Pike, Campbell, Eby, Ev-
ans, Keller, Matthews, Miller of Fair
field and Rorick.
Through a suggestion of Judge
Worthington the form of the proposal
was changed so that the words of the
present constitution are not men
toned in the proposal. Mr.. Worthing-
ton declared it was unnecessary and
confusing to place before the voters
the present no-license clause as if it
were new subject matter. His amend
ment, which was adopted, provides
that if license does not carry the pres
ent no-license clause, section 18 of
the schedule, shall be retained.

in their own way, untrammeled and

to think so, and the federation itself
