HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

"T can truthfully say Cuticura Rem- edieJ have cured me of four long years of eczema. About four years ago I noticed some little pimples coming on my little finger, and not giving it any attention, 1t soon became worse and spread all over my hands. If l would have them in water for long time, they would burn like fire and large cracks would come. I could lay a pin in them. After using all the salves I could think of, l went to three different doctors, but all did me no good The only relief got was scratching.

TORN WITH STRIFE
Managers of Candidates of Both Parties Engage in Bitter
 Struggle.
HISTORY WILL BE REPEATED
After Conventions Are Over Men Who Are Now Fighting Each Other Will Be Found Working for
 Party Choice.
By GEORGE CLINTON.

Washington-Ther Is strife in Washington between the forces at tached to the different headquarters of the various candidates of both par ties for the presidency of the United States. MT. Taft's managers on their part and MT Roosevelt's managers on their part are sending letters back and forth full of bitterness, innuendo and other things which are not at all nice reading to those who think that the time Is come for peace on earth even among politicians. The same thing Is in evidence among the Democratic managers. It must be said. however, that until few days ago the Demo cratic champions of the different party candidates managed to keep the peace. Now, however things have changed and charges are going back and forth, and the Republican camp and the Democratic camp look very much alike.
 Politicians of both parties here say that history will repeat itself and that after the conventions are over the men who are calling one another names will be found shoulder to shoulder working on behalf of the nominees no matter whom they may be and will be entirely forgetful of everything that they said in the days preceding the convention. What Is the history which has repeated itself? Virtually 1t Is the history of every campaign. Democratic and Republican, which has been put on the pages of the country's record although there have been admittedly one or two campaigns In both parties in which bitterness lasted after the convention days
 Four years ago now the Republican party was split just as It Is today. only the sides" were different Men who are championing MT. Tafts nomina- tica now were opposed to him when he was a seeker for the nomination the last time. and men who were for him then are now against him. al though, of course, this is not to be ac- cepted as an absolutely comprehensive rttia

Are Now With Taft.


 The champions of Mir. Cannon and MT Fairbanks and some others for the nomination four years ago and who did all that they could to secure the nomination of the men to whom their hearts were given are now do- Ing what they can to put MT Taft into office It was said four years ago that these men would carry their anl- mostly into the campaign in case Taft were nominated, but the prophecy proved i'll founded. It was Theodore Y. Burton of Ohio who presented Mir Tafts name to the convention of his party It was the beginning Of the day of harmony. and notice MT Bur tons honeyed words as addressed to the frienG8 of tho other candidates in the convention hall:
 We welcome the friendly rivalry of candidates from other states-from the great Empire State. the Keystone state. Indiana Illinois and Wisconsin, forming with Ohio a broad expanse ex- tending in unbroken sweep from old ocean to the uppermost bounds of the greatest of inland seas. Each of these present leader among leaders whose achievements and renown are not con fined to the narrow limits of single commonwealth.
 Today with fervid earnestness we wage contest for the prize. Tomo- row united for the fray and quicken ed by q common fiery zeal. the cham plons of all the candidates will go forth with mounting enthusiasm to vanquish the foe"
 Before and After.
 At the last Democratic convention a+ which successful candidate for the presidency was named. the convention of lS92. there were New York Demo crats in the convention hall to rise one after another through the long hours of one days session 10 declare that if Grover Cleveland was the can d!date of the party he could not and ought not to be elected. It was said that the division in the party was such that if Mir. Cleveland were again its standard bearer that overwhelminp defeat would come from the Renuh- licans, and there were insinuatIons even that the men who were protest ing in the convention hall would lead bolt against his election.
 What happened? The New York delegation which voiced It's antago nism 10 Grover Cleveland and breath. ed out all kinds of dismal prophecies ot defeat iE case he were nominated went back home after the nomination had been carried against their protest took of their coats and worked for Grover Cleveland and later voted for him at the November election. When the Republican newspapers twitted the New York Democrats with doing what they said they would not do the retort was that things are different before and after conventions.
 So it Is that both Republicans and Democrats in Washington today say that no matter how angry they may seem to be now and no matter what they may say now in antagonism to other candidates that after the June days will come the peace of July and the following months, peace which will continue until the snow storm of votes begins on the first Tuesdav

MEANING OF "AT HALF MAST

you ever stop to think what connec'

Ever since flags were used In war II

In those days when famous sol

West No Place for Consumptives.
Physicians In all of the eastern
states will be asked by the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis to stop send
ing consumptives in the last stages OF
tuberculosis and without sufficient
funds to the southwestern part OF the
United States in search OF health.
While it is impossible TO tell accu-
rately how many consumptives there
are at present living in the states OF
Colorado. New Mexico. Arizona, south
ern California, and western Texas, 1t
is probable that no less than ten per
cent of the 100000 people in this
! territory have tuberculosis themselves
or have come to the west because
some members of their family have
/ had 1t. Every year, the health authori
ties estimate, not less than 10000
consumptives, hopelessly diseased
come west to die. For these cases
the climate OF tfAs section Of the coun
try can do nothing. and they are com
PEELED to die in strange surroundl ~
and thousands of miles from home
and friends. The National Associa
ton points out further that from 81
to 60 per cent. OF these advanced
cases are too poor to provide tn
proper necessaries of life, and the,
are either starved to death, or CON
