leagne. General Edgar R. champion,
chairman of the executive committee

CHRONIC ECZEMA DISAP.
PEARS WITH THE
TREATMENT

Sufferers from Eczema of many
years standing have good reason to
renew hopes of permanent and sat
is factory cure. They may have tried
many remedies without noticeable re-
suits, but that should not keep them
from using a remedy for Eczema
which has borne the public's test for
eight years and has thousands of
cured cases of Eczema to its credit.
1t doesn't matter what past expert
ences may have been. sufferers from
chronic Eczema and other skin dis
eases are invited to give BRINK
LEY'S .tSANADOR" a thorough test.
This wonderful skin remedy is known
and used from coast to coast 1t is
earnestly recommended by many peo-
pie of prominence who have had oc-
casfon to test its curative powers.
RRINKLEY'S "SANADOR" first
soothes and allays the terrible itch
ing; then it penetrates to where the
parasite is lodged and by it's germi-
cidal powers destroys and removes the
cause of the affliction. More than
that, after the cause of the disease
has been dislodgad. BRINKLEY'S
.'SANADOR nourishes the skin and
restores it to its normal condition.
BRINKLEY'S s.SANADOR" has also
proven to be without an equal for
the treatment of Dandruff, Pimples,
Prickly Heat, Salt RI1eum. Scabies,
Plant Poisoning, ETC.

thing, that a horse and wogan were
simply a gratuity of full-handed na-
ture. as wild strawberries are. 1t took
years and years of effort by the car
riers and their friends to establish the
elemental fact that the upkeep of their
outfit involved expenditure.
Another curious delusion of the old
days was that the rural carrier in de-
livering the mail was after all doing
only a chance chore, that he could
throw the job in on the days work
without effort. The men who had this
view came slowly to the knowledge
was regular force performing a duty
with regularity, with dispatch, and
with security, subject to rule, answer
able to authority, and enJoined with
responsibility. But these men, while
they came slowly to the knowledge,
came at last.
with the development of the rural mail
service, with its great popularity and
with its remarkably rapid growth, the
rural mail carrier himself by his con-
duct, has had a world to do. The service
itself, belief in it, pride IN 1t, hope of its
growth, has asked of the carrier, and has
received universally, loyalty. Whatever
the weather, whatever the barrier with
the carrier the service is first. The top
line in his rules of duty is to deliver the
mail on time, and these men march
forth every morning, winding out through
highway and country lane, they move like
clockwork and have become, with the de-
velopment of the system one of the most
highly perfected and efficient services of
the modern world.
What few opponents of rural mail de-
livery are left are negligible. To all 9TH
ers rural delivery of the mail has become
a national ornament. The very magni-
tude of our country, territorially, made
the attempt an extraordinarily ambitious
one. but its accomplishment in spite of it's
difficulty, is the greater on that account
The marvel of this day of mutually in
the world is the magic, the miracle, of
Accommodation With every develop
ment of wireless telegrapf1y of telephony

grows apace. And in the midst of the
agencies for development which are work
ing upward to a realization of the ideals
of the democracy through the social
forces of humanity none has higher place
than rural mail delivery

NARROWED ON RATS.
Flood Victims Are Suffering Crest
Priyations in the South.

Torras, May 1.-Relief is being
rushed to marooned families in the
hooded territory north of here. Food
depots have been fixed at convenient
points for distribution.
Terrible conditions prevail in the
Black river section. In many in
stances parents and children have
taken refuge on RATS, which they
share with livestock.
w. S. Simmons, who arrived from
a trip over Concordia, Catahoula and
Tensas parishes. says that all of these
were under water with the exception
of a few town protected by levees.
The inhabitants are homeless and
detitute" he said. Five thousand
white persons along the Black river
are in a desperate fix. The govern
ment supplies received there are in
adequate. Many families expecting
the flood built RATS and when the
water came they moved their house
hold goods aboard The RATS are an
chored to trees and that's the way
they are living now.

tuesday evening a meeting of the
gun club was held at the office of DIR.
H. B. Hogeboom. The business of the
meeting consisted of plans regarding
improvements to be made at their
grounds on Potter's farm. the new
clubhouse. which is to be erected some
time in the near future, also it was
decided that the club will get busy
ana secure some matches with other
gunclubs over the state.
It is quite evident that the members
OF Topeka's gun club are taking great
interest in its doings. There has been
more noise made by this local organi-
zauon during the present season than
mas been heard for some little time
The only trouble is the fact that more
men who have the time and inclination
40 not take enough interest to join
the club and take part in their stunts.

PRIDE OF NATION.
That Is What Murdoch Calls Rural
Delivery.

Washington, D. c., May Com
gresham Victor Murdoch of Kansas
saws that rural free delivery is the
pride of the nation. In addressing the
house the Kansan paid eloquent to
the men employed in this branch OF
the postal service. He said:
There is no other arm of the postal
service which shows so plainly the Pc
culiarly social benefactions OF the en-
tire postal system as does the rural
mail delivery. The member OF con-
gress who was active here f1fteen
years ago and who knew intimately at
the time the sentiment OF congress IN
regard to rural delivery of mail, hao
he slept a Rip Van Wrinkle sleep ana
had come back today Woulo not DC
lieve his eyes. -
'sFor in the beginning of this service
there was a large and clamoPous fac
ton which affected to believe. perhaps
in part did believe. that the innovation
of carrying the mail daily out to the
farms would bring the whole postal
structure crashing down into magnifi-
cent ruin. 1 remember reading about
IA years ago a postmaster generals re-
port, in which that official declared in
alarm that this system, If extended,
might eventually entail an expenditure
of $50, 900 Today the expenditure
goes to $43, 375, 900, and instead of the
disaster which many men prophesied,
every increase in expenditure and ex-
tension of rural mail delivery has added
to the perfection of the whole mail es-
tablishment, and think, without ex-
ception, every American today rejoices
that the system is as extklsiye as it is,
and is proud of our achievement. AS
late as five years ago there were men
in public life who still believed that in
some way rural mail delivery could be
changed in form or so curtailed that its
growth would cease. If any of this
school exist today they are few in NUM-
Der and Voiceless. And the rural mail
delivery becomes as permanent, rs
stable, and as vitality and Intimately d
force in the daily life of America and in
our national development as suffrage
itself.
81 am glad to say that this bill car
ries an increase in the compensation
to the carriers, and in this connection
let me say there has been a change in
attitude toward the rural mail carrier
quite as marked as the change of mind
on the system itself. While it seems
unbelievable today, there were men
Is years ago who expected the rural
carrier to do the work virtually for
nothing. There was an odd disposition
among certain congressional econom-
lists to believe that in the country a
horse and wagon did not cost any
