PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTlCURA 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. l would scratch those places
until they would bleed before I could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over. and the flesh un-
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes 1t would begin to itch until
1t would waken me from my sleep,
and l would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced 1t dry
eczema" l 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 IL
considered hereditary. felt anxious
to try to head it of. got the Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be Just what needed.

headway on my system until 1 got

Amendment for Direct Vote.

Denver. - Governor Shafroth re-
ceived letter from Secretary of State
Knox of the United States government
enclosing a copy Of the resolution
which recently passed both houses Of
Congress. providing for the election of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people.
When the resolution has been ap-
proved by thirty-six states, constitut-
ing three-fourths of the forty-eight in
the Union, the resolution will become
the law of the country.
1T may be many years before this
amendment to the federal constitution
is adopted by the states" declared
Gov. Shafroth. 1T takes long time
to get action from so many states. l
will submit the resolution to the next
Legislature.
Il voted for similar resolution six
teen years ago when in the House OF
Representatives. The adoption of the
resolution by the United States Sen
ate and House of Representatives,
marks the end of battle begun sew
enty-five years ago.
The resolution follows:
The Senate OF the United States
shall be composed Of two senators
from each state, elected by the people
thereof, for six years; and each SEN
ator shall have one vote. The electors
in each state shall have the qualifica-
tions requisite for electors of the most
numerous branch of the State Legisla-
lures.
When vacancies happen in the rep
resentation of any state in the Senate,
the executive authority of such state
shall issue writs of election to fill such
vacancies: Provided, that the Legis-
lature OF any state may empower the
executive thereof to make temporary
appointments until the people fill the
vacancies by election as the Legisla-
ture may direct.
This amendment shall not be SO
construed as to effect the election or
term OF any senator before it becomes
valid as part of the constitution"

The boy walked briskly back of the
scenes toward the little door, behind
which. as he tapped. he hoped with all
his heart to hear her voice bid him
come in. But there were other voices
in the room. He ratified the door knob
and Lefty Lane herself called to him
without opening the door:
will you go. please. Mr.. Blair? 1
can't see anyone tonight"
He had nothing to do but to go
to grind his heel as he turned-to
swear deeply against Poniotowsky
His late ecstasy was turned to gall.
The theater seemed horrible to him:
the chattering of the chorus girls.
their giggles. their laughter as he
passed the little groups, all seemed
weird and Internal, and everything be-
came an object Of irritation.
AS he went blindly out Of the the

sharp and stinging. but he was glad Of
the hurt.
Without, in the street, Dan took his
place with the other men and waited,
a bitter taste in his mouth and anger
in his breast. waited until Lefty Lane
huttered down, followed by Poniotow-
sky, and the two drove away.
The young man could have gone

their was taxicab at hand: he

the boy had the pleasure Of seeing
Miss Lane enter the hotel. Poniotow-

When Dan came to himself he heard

dine alone at homo with the Duchess

A Hand Clasp.

1t was one O'Clock. Blair called q
hanson and told the driver to take
him to the Carlton, and leaning back
in the vehicle he breathed long sigh.
He looked like his father, but he
didn't know 1t. He felt old. He was
a man and a tired one and free one,
and the sense Of this liberty began to
refresh him like breeze over parched
sand. He thought over what he had
left for a second. stopped longest in
plying Galorey, then went into the
Carlton restaurant to order some sup
per, for he began to feel the need Of
food. He had not time to drink his
wine and partake Of the cold pheasant
before he saw that opposite him the
two people who had taken their table
were Lefty Lane and Poniotowsky.
The woman's slender back was turned
to Blair. and his heart gave q leap Of
pain at the sight Of the man with her.
and the cruel suffering began again.
Dan gave up the idea of eating:
drank a whole bottle Of champagne,
then pushed 1t away from him vio-
lently. Hold up" he told himself,
you're getting dangerous; this drink
ing won't do." So he sat drumming
on the table looking into the air.
When those two got up to go, how
ever. he would go with them; that was
sure. He could never. see them go
out together again; no-no-uo! As
his brain grew a bit clearer he saw
that they were having a heated dis
cussion between them, and as the
room emptied finally, save for them
selves. Dan. though he could not hear
what Poniotowsky said, understood
that he was urging something which
the girl did not wish to grant. When
they left he rose as we'll, and at the
door of the restaurant the actress and
her companion paused, and Dan saw
her face, deadly pale. There were
tears In her eyes.
