Fire Observance Day and Insurance.

James r. Young, State ff>
surance commissioner with
offices in Raleigh, has de-
signated next "Wednesday as
fire observance day. He wants
the people to observe the day
by cleaning up all places and
materials whereby fire is like
ly to get started. He says
$1,000, 900 is destroyed each
yeal in this state by fires,
two>thirds of which could
have been prevented. OF
course it is right and proper
for people to give attention
to such matters and thus save
from destruction so consider

missioner of course is speak

pecially to those who have
40 insurance, but mindful of
a few who would be banks
rupt today had it not been
for the insurance policy and
a convenient fire. By heed
ing the advice of Mr.. Young
the people will benefit all
concerned in saving property,
in saving the insurance COM
panies the payment Of cons
siderable losses and probably
obtaining a reduction in ins
surance rates. The commits
eioner has found other ways
for the insurance companies
to get business, to wit:
I'm France a tenalt usual
ly insures by one policy the
following items: l, His own
property; 2, the risk of res
sponsibility for damage to

sponsibility for damage to
the property Of his tenant;
3, his responsibility for dams

TIME RIPE FOR CHANGE
Says No One Can Safely Challenge the
Soundness of the Views or Leader
ship Of Wilson and Marshall, Who
Have Been Before the People.
BY JOHN cRIMMINs,
Noted PhIIanthropist and Irish Amer
lean Leader.l

[Noted PhIIanthropist and Irish Amer
lean Leader.]
At the outset of an argument in rela-
tion to the approaching election for
president and vice president we must
view what has caused the great upris.
ing in the country In connection with
our economic affairs and the admins
tration Of our government in so far as
it relates to that subject.
There is no defence offered for the
extensive privileges created by the
tariff preferences through the Repub.
lican party and the favorse to the
privileged classes and corporations.
While wealth has accumulated under
these preferences, fair field and no
favor has been denied to the masses.
We cannot expect remedies from
men high in office who in their entire
life work have been associates and
participants with the favored class,
Mr. Roosevelt during his entire career
in politics and as the head of his
party has been the protector of many
IL uoIo CudC Il0 Icl Ill udS
and fostered nor have we found him
in the seven and one-half years Of his
official life as president strenuous in
removing tariff iniquities and inequali-
ties. Mr.. Taft in his acts and utter
ances Is a party man, believing in
protective tariff, and would, If elected,
defend what to many minds is the SUI
preme cause of unrest.
Free From Evil Associations.
In Mr.. Wilson and his associate, the
candidate for vice president, we have
two men who have had no associations
with the privileged class, who have
never been in position to grant OF
accept favors or to participate in any
measure that could possibly relate to
their personal welfare or increase
their incomes. In the respective pro-
fessions that these two gentlemen
have occupied they have been day
laborers, working at their desks as
many hours as the workman who is
Industrious and faithful to his task.
The very fact that they have been
selected as candidates for the office of
president and vice president of these
United States is an illustration of one
of the great boasts of the American
people that the man who is faithful to
his trust, honest in his work, fearless
and courageous in his opinions, will in
time be noticed and receive reward.
They have watched with concern every
side of our political life that enters
into the government Of our people,
voicing their approval or disapproval
of situations as they arose.
Are Typical Americans.
No one can safely challenge the
soundness Of their views or their lead
ership where economic questions enter
into our governmental affairs. They
are typical Americans.
Governor Wilson and Governor Mar
shall have both been before the people

majority of the citizens Of their re-

TAXING Poor MANS

concrete examples of how a pro-

All through the present tariff law,
passed by a Republican congress and
endorsed by Republican President
as THE BEST TARIFF BILL EVER
PASSED, are to be- found discrimina-
tons, the higher duty on the cheaper
article, the lower on the shoulders
OF those least able to bear it the great
er burden of the protective system.
Here are some illustrations:
The cheapest wool blankets bear
duty of 165.42 per cent; the dearest,
104.55 per cent.
Ffannels, not more than 40 cents a
pound, are taxed at 1887 per cent;

Buckles, cheapest, 77.4S per cent;
dearest, 1858 per cent.
Uncut diamonds bear 10 per cent
duty; imitation diamonds, 20 per cent.
The humble firecracker bears a
s7.02 per cent. duty, while elaborate
fireworks bear but 70 per cent.

4767 per cent; worth over $40, 1916

These are only a part of the dis
ordinations, cleaned from swift
coming Of some of the schedules Re-
duced to simplest terms, they mean
that the poor man is taxed higher than
the rich man.

ITCHING AND BURNING SKIN

About three years ago I was at
tackled with very severe itching and
burning all over my body and finally
my skin broke until my body looked
like piece of raw meat. did believe
that could not stand the torture any
longer, while all the time was using
the salye and the wash ordered by my
physician without relief. When | was
advised to go to skin specialist
went with no better results. My body
was covered with large white scales,
with scales on my hands, arms and
lower limbs In about one week my
scalp was covered with scales which
looked like dandruff but became worse
each day until at the end of another
week the scales were as large as on a
fish. The itch in my head was I'M
bearable. My hair was coming out in
combfuls until it looked so bad / was
ashamed to go on the street.
II used tar soap for a shampoo but
1t took no effect At the end of three
weeks the back of my head was COM
pletely bald. / was a sight when
decided to try the Cuticura Ointment
for the hair, and when saw the won
derful results / decided to try the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment on my
body. After taking six baths in hot
water with plenty of Cuticura Soap,
and using three boxes of Cuticura
Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura
Pills, was cured. My hair has grown
more than an inch in length.
Before using the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment lost all of my finger
nails and my hands were so sore
could not put them in water. If had
tried them sooner would have saved
q few hundred dollars (Signed)
