ECZEMA IN RED BLoTCHES

205 Kanter Ave, Detroit, Mich
Some time last summer 1 was taken
with eczema. 1t began in my hair
first with red blotches, then scaly
spreading to my face. The blotches
were red on my face, dry and scaly,
not large; on my scalp they were
larger, some scabby. They came on
my hands. The inside of my hands
were all little Jumps as though full of
shot about one-sixteenth of an inch
under the skin. Then they went to
the outside and between and all over
my fingers. 1t also began on the bot
toms of my feet and the calves of my
legs, and itch, oh, my! / never had
anything like it and hope never will
again. The itching was terrible. My
hands got 30 could scarcely work.
II tried different eczema ointments
but without results. also took medi-
cine for it but it did no good. 1 saw
the advertisement for a sample of
Cuticura Ointment and Soap and sent
for one. They did me so much good
/ bought some more, using them as
per directions, and in about three
weeks I was we'll again. Cuticura Soap

UNCERTAIN ON THE TARIFF
Method and Makes Vague Prom
e lses About Control of Business.

On the tariff Colonel Roosevelt is
vague and uncertain He adopts, al
most without the change of line or
a syllable, President Taft's method of
revision only after expert, non-parti-
san investigation, and then bids for
popular support on the pretense that
he will in some way not defined see
that the protection to be afforded to
our industries shall be equitably d.
vided between the employer and the
employed. This is to be done, ap-
parently, by some sort of government
regulation and control of the business
of the country, but the colonePs own
past and present relations with the
steel trust and the harvester trust
fail to be convincing as to the entire
impartiality of any control in which
he might have hand. His awakened
interest in the tariff is so sudden and
is in such marked contrast to his atti-
tude during the seven years when he
might have influenced the action of a
Republican congress, that the thought
full public will be justified in looking
askance at promises so plainly direct
ed to catch gudgeons.
So also the student of contempo-
rary economics will fail to find in the
colonel's appeal for votes any guiding
light on the vital subject of currency
reform. We want, of course, sound
and flexible currency, we want finan-
cial control wrested from Wall
street." we want the best money sys-
tenn In the world-all these are pri-
mary facts not in dispute, but all that
the colonel is able to say with any
clarity is that he does not approve Of
all the recommendations of the
monetary commission, though he
thinks the reports of that commission
are so valuable that they ought to be
more widely disseminated among the
people. If the coloners promises are
like his performances when he had the
opportunity to accomplish something.
they are quite as hollow and untrust-
worthy as are the planks of the old
parties in which he places SO little
faith The old parties with all their
faults have at least record of
achievement. For these the colonel
would substitute new promises, ignor-
ing his own record Of broken pledges.
How he can honestly believe in his
own sincerity is one of the puzzles
which will perpleX the future political
| historian of the United States.
