was q sight. 1t looked very unpleas-

face was something awful; II just kept
me in agony all the time. Some said
Il was letter. and some said 1t was
that awful eczema, but / rather think
II was letter. I had been troubled

many remedies, but got no relief until
I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

WARNING AGAINST GREED.

Greed of Americans in their
wild desire to Pie Ip gold is Il
Present day parallel of the drag
on of disloyalty and jealousy
that refused supplies to the army
of George Washington at Valley
Forge. the same that called Lin
coin a clown and a canker and
Grover Cleveland wife beaten.
The Union stands strong against
outside assault since it received
its baptism Of blood under Lin
coin. Unless we ourselves sur
render our right to be the only
arbiters of its fortunes it is safe
against foreign foes. No one
will attack US. But from within
there has come n peril against
which it behooves us to make a
solid and united front Wealth
has piled up. Poverty. in our
cities especially. seems more
grewsome by the contrast. This
is real peril. for the very soul
Of a democracy Is this-a fair
opportunity for every one.
But With the piling up Of great
fortunes the human greed and
selfishness which no political sys-
tenn can ever cure as long as men
are what they are have grown
like a deadly upas tree, and there
has come gap in our ranks in
which we hear the old dragon of
disloyalty hiss.-Jacob Riis.
