PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago / had places break
cut 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. / 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 It would begin to itch until
It would waken me from my sleep,
and / would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced it dry
eczema" / used an ointment which
the doctor gave me. but it did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. AS this trouble has
been in our family for years, and Is
considered hereditary, l felt anxious
to try to head it off. / got the Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be just what / needed.
THE disease was making great
Roadway on my system until / got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin of the great pest
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now, I have never felt
any Of It's pest, and / am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. / always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet, and l hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment

wHEisH CREDIT rs DUE.

Whatever we may think Of the wisdom Of
RECEIVING contributions from Thomas Fortune
Ryan" declares the fredericksburg Free Lance.
there can be no gainsaying the fact that Mr..
Ryan. by his huge contribution In 1904, after
all chance or eiecting Parker was gone the
party was saved from the disgrace OF having
TO repudiate its bills. Nor is this oil. In the
face OF abuse and maledction, Mr.. Ryan mod
estIy said nothing Of his contribution and con-
tinned silent until called upon testify by tho
Ciapp committee. Surely Mr.. Ryan deserves
credit for coming TO the need OF the party in its
darkest hour
Which is we'll said Mr. Ryan deserves credit
for great many other generous acts which is
not given him by some hypercriticai gentlemen
of the press and public. For example. recent
w. when the promoters Of the Confederate Bat
tie Abbey were at their wits end for funds to
complete certain portions OF the work for which
their ambitious plans CALL Mr.. Ryan went down
in his pocket and promptly contributed the me-
cessary funds This Is but example--there
be numerous others that might be citni, and
doubtless many Of which the public has never
heard for he is not the sort OF man to let his
left hand know what his right 10 doing. II he
didn't give generously OF his store, which he
does. he would be termed mean and close listed,
and because he does there are ever-ready critics
to accuse hin, Of some Interior motive.

To Editor OF The Buchanan News:
Sir.--It Is with reluctance that venture to
express an opinion in regard to the proposed
amendments to our State constitution. which
will be voted at the election November 9Th.
However. think that refusal to permit city
treasurer and city commissioners of the reye-
nue. to continue in office Is & gratuitous slap in
the face of civil service reform. Rotation in
office may be fine in theory, but not In practi-
cal beneficial results New IDEAS, new forms be-
come confusing to the auditors books, and no
doubt entails much extra work to the Office
force. When the Hon Carter Glass in the
State senate some years ago he introduced n
BIN providing for travelling auditor who pos
sessed brains sufficient TO submit concise form
Of ma king returns that would conform with the
State auditors books. This would facilitate
quick and accurate settlement and remove
fusion
Several years later the Hon. Richard Evelyn
Byrd introduced bill of similar nature. but
through some unaccountabe the Il gfsla-
ture failed to pass either bill
Ut ii to be hoped the next leg stature will be
Sufficiently educated to the state by the adop-
tion OF a measure providing for travelling AT

Let all who favor continuing city treasurers
and city commissioners of the revenue in office
scratch from the ticket the word against

extend the same to cities?

Of country people that the cities proper be able
to create the markets which they need to dis

amendment should receive the unanimous vote
OF the Virginia people.
Under the constitution the towns are hound
byI an ANTICIPATED form or government that is
wasteful and bar to progress Only BY your
vote can these municipalities he relieved Of this
handicap and placed on par with the cities
of the State which are working with success
under more modern methods
The next matter. and also one OF Importance,
is to undo the injustice done at a former elec-

the revenue OF cities which grew OUT 1T i mis-
