Lightning Strikes Laurel, Aspen and

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE depart

laurel, aspen and beech. were never
struck by lightning, with the state
ment that amy kind of a tree is like

The report shows that lightning
strikes in the Colorado plateau re-

Looklna TO the InevItahle.

Seventy-nine years old. but with no
thought of dying for years, a South
Brooklyn retired windmill dealer spent
his recent birthday in Cleveland o.,
looking for bargain in coffins. He
said he never had cared much for
show and thought he would care less
when dead. so he wanted something
that would be durable, not fancy. "The
undertakers wanted more than 500
for good coffins," he told a friend,
none of which looked to be worth
more than $50. For $25 l found
could get one that loked as If 1t
might have cost $3.50 to make. You
don't suppose could get good sec
ond hand one anywhere, do you?" The
man did not invest, but decided he
would wait awhile and see If the high
cost of dying might not be reduced.

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. would scratch those places
until they would bleed before could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh I'M
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes 1t would begin to itch until
1t would waken me from my sleep,
and I would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced it dry
eczema" I used an ointment which
the doctor gave me, but 1t did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. AS this trouble has
been in our family for years, and is
considered hereditary, / felt anxious
to try to head 1t off. / got the Cuti-
eura Soap. Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be Just what needed.
"The disease was making great
headway on my system until l got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin of the great pest
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now, have never felt
any of its pest, and I am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet, and / hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment" I"

GOVERNOR WILSON
AND CONVICT LABOR
John Mitchell Points Out Fall
ure to Make Progress.

One of the proposals in the Progress
sive program Is reform In the labor
system in prisons, both state and ma
tional. The Progressives propose not
only to abolish the convict contract
system, but to employ the prisoners In
the manufacture Of commodities to be
used by the government and to pay
the convicts fair wage for their
work, the wages to go to the support
Of their families.
Commenting on this plank in the
program and the conditions In this
state, John Mitchell. vice president of
the American Federation of Labor.
wrote recently:
"New Jersey has simply been mark
ing time in this matter since the pas
sage of the law abolishing the con-
tract system. No real progress has
been made during Governor Wilson's
administration thus far"
