DOCTOR PRESCRIBES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

eI wish to let you know of a couple
Of recent cures which have made by

severe skin eruption. At first / could
not understand the nature of the case

ton. l finally traced 1t to his occu-
patton, as he was painter and deco
rator. It was dermatitis in Its worst
form. It started with slighs erup-
ton and would affect most parts of
his body-thighs, elbows, chest, back
and abdomen-and would terminate in
little pustules.l !; The itching and burn
ing was dreadful and he would almost
tear his skin apart. trying to get re-
lief. I recommended all the various
treatments / could think of and he
spent about fifteen dollars on prescrip-
lions but nothing seemed to help him.
'tIn the meantime my wife who was
continually suffering with slight
skin trouble and who had been trying
different prescriptions and methods
with my assistance, told me she was
going to get some of the Cuticurr
Remedies and give them trial. Her
skin would thicken, break and bleed,
especially on the fingers, wrists and
arms. / could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap-
pl ed the warm baths of Cuticura Soap
and applications of Cuticura Ointment
she saw decided improvement and in
a few days she was completely cured.
Il lost no time in recommending the
Cuticura Remedies to Mr. and

to wash with warm baths of the Cuti-
cura Soap and to apply the Cuticura
Ointment generously. Believe me.

OLD TIME SPECTATORS THINK

WHEAT SITUATION.
BY JOSEPH F. PRITcHARp.

CHICAGO. April 2s.--Oid-time spec
ulators In wheat are playing tlae new
crop months AZ favorites. The hands
Of such big men az Patten. RAnkin,
Lewis, Milliken, Schreiner and many
lesser lights are to be seen In Eeptem.
Der. OF which they are accommodating
holdings The possibilities In wheat
are great. There are many conserva.
tive men in the trade who believe
that the world IL not posted ~ to the
losses in the winter wheat belt Many
sections are living IN the hope that
with continued growing weather the
plant may reawaken. but In many tn
stances the crop II dead. and there
will be no wheat at oil. !
There 10 little doubt ~ TO the fu-
ture course OF the wheat market. With
crop iosses as claimed we are certain
breadstufTs, but at the close Of Satur-
day the average professional was i'm.
pressed with the idea that prices have
advanced too rapidly. and that 4 nat
ural setback Is among the probabiii.
ties unless additional crop damage
complaints are forthcoming.
The situation In corn has quieted
down remarkably. and the bulls and
bears are standing on opposite sides
OF the pit awaiting an opportunity. The
talk during the last week was that
heavy receipts Of corn would be seen
at Chicago. and other markets this
week. hut whether the grain win come
forward or not Is con1ecturai. One
thing IL certain. and that II that heavy
shfnnents are to be made. and that
those who are short the May future
are likely to encounter considerable
trouble in securing enough corn to
mike deliveries.
There Is q partial change In tha
sentiment on oats because Of the claims
nv many that the seeding has PRO-
crossed quite rapidly during the past
week or two.

To make the country dry by two-to-one

1t may have been that the temperance peo-

physical exerton and exposure. Perhaps the
knowledge that they were enlisted in right

and difficulties with a greater hardihood. At

TROUBLED WATERS.

None can contemplate the devastation caused
by the recent Mississippi overflow without be-
ing impressed with waters nckleness and in
stability In its peaceful moods it gives life
to man and beast and plant, bringing ecstacy
to the parched and fevered lips and making the
rose to bloom In the desert. Again. 1t engulfs
the tired swimmer or the stately chip and her
gallant crew, and losses them without rest.
The gentle shower refreshes the scorched
landscape like benediction. but the cloud
burst leaves death and dissolution in its track,
The quiet stream, meandering gracefully like q
silver thread through the meadows. delights
the eye and solaces the soul. The angry turgid
torrent, like warthful demon. sweeps all be-
fore 1t to destruction.
The ocean at rest bears commerce and trait
fc on its bosom. as gently as a mother folds
her babe TO her breast; but, when the winds
and waves arise, this same sea booms and
bellows like a million maddened giants and
as deep calls unto deep the bravest heart is
daunted.

The movement for preferential primaries for

Time and again it has been asserted that
the republican conventions OF the south were
dominated by Federal offce-holders who. by
steam roller processes managed to evolve
delegates favorable to the existing administra-

back as the contest between Harrison and

very emphatically four years ago by the
opponents OF MIR. Taft against the methods of
Mr. Hitchcock under the direction Of President
Roosevelt. and now with even greater vehe-
mence by Col. Roosevelt himself against Pres-

instruction given him by his predecessor.
