WORKED LIKE MAGIC.
Red Soaly Eczema Yields to Our Re- liable Skin Remedy, Saxo SalVe-

A Highland, N. r.. woman writes: Since 1901 l suffered from eczema and my skin was very tender, red and scaly, and I could find no relief until l used Saxo Salve. The first application worked like magic, in less than week the scales were gone and now the skin is healed and smooth. thanks to Saxo Salye.
 In all forms of eczema, and all oth- CT crusted or scaly humors and erup- tions, Saxo Salve has given astonish- ingly good results. The great im- proyement that it makes in the first few days shows plainly that you can place full trust in it's curative power
 We have so much confidence in it that we give back your money 1t you are not satisfied with Saxo Salve. James F. Donshue, Druggist, 54 Elm St' Putnam, Conn.

Lesson of the Ma mn Act.

The Milwaukee journal: From June,
1910, to August, 1913, there were COB
convictions under the Mann act prohib
iting interstate trailicking in women,
and eighty two acquittals, while the
Jail and penitentiary sentences added
together" amount to more than 900
years. This il sufficient proof that this
federal statute is effective and that it
was needed 1t is horrible to think of
COB convictions for this crime in little
over three years; 1t is more horrible to
think of such offences going unpunish.
ed, rs they evidently had been going
unpublished. And these are only the
interstate oifenses. The federal gov
eminent has no jurisdiction over these
les Of any state,
This law and these convictions mean
that people are coming nearer to the
stand that what is deiiling and destroy
ing for the woman is deiiling and de-
stroying for the man. For if the traffic
in women is wrong, then the demand
is wrong When we really make this
part of our working theory of life,
inculcate it in the standards by which
we judge our fellow men and act on it,
we shall begin to cure this evil, This
we have not done SO far, as everyone
who will stop to think of it must realize.
The ordinary criminal we do not meet
has forfeited his right to the counter
ance of society, Slowly we are coming
to take this attitude toward the offender
against womanhood. When we do, II
weapon will be used more powerful
than any law.
Meanwhile it is necessary to support
the beginning that has been made with
the Mann act. A law with teeth in it
is subject to tremendous fire. Signs are
not lacking that an effort will presently
be made to modify this law The rea
sons offered will be anything but the
real reason, that the law is reaching the
profits men were making through vii
lainy. The public needs to keep what
it has gained in the fight for deoency,
to demand that state prosecution be
come us active AS federal prosecution,
and to remember that while it contin
ues to countenance the offender, ii is
partner in his crime

Trust the President.

Harper Weekly: That the Currency
Bill should pass at the present session
is necessary to the welfare of the Coun-
try. Although matters are quiet ON the
surface and the Presidents tact and
GOODNESS have made any great outbursts
impossible, yet there is, underneath
the same bitter controversy between
him and plutocracy that is going ON all
the time between the forces of progress
and the forces of privilege. Mr. Wilson
at the present moment is the leader in
the movement toward democracy, po-
litical and industrial, He is Il wise
leader. Won Moltke said; First con d.
slider, then dare. The currency uues
ton has been considered for many,
many years. The present bill has
taken what was valuable in the expert
knowledge of the Aldrich Bill, and it
has added features which give the PEG =
pie control, through their government
and reduce the excessive control of a
few over wealthy men. Such step is
not violent democratic progress; it is
only slow and patient common sense
Let us take that step.

CASE OF CONVICTS.
No Direct Reduction of Terms on Ac-
count of Lansing Fire.

There will be no general reduction or
communication of prison sentences to in
mates of the Kansas penitentiary as a re-
ward for their service in fighting the re-
cent fire at the Lansing prison. This de-
cision was announced today by Governor
George H. Hodges, following recommen-
dations by Warden Codding and members
Of the board of correction to the effect
that such action would prove bad prison
policy
Since the. fire, numerous reports have
been published to the effect that a gen.
sral reduction of prison sentences were to
be made by the governor as reward to
the men who fought the recent fire in
the penitentiary Irvine plant. Governor
Hodges has always denied that such ac-
lion was contemplated and today an
nounced that such a policy would not be
established
1t is probable, however, that in certain
Eases communications will be allowed pris-
oners who are applicants for pardon OF
parole The part which these men played
In fighting the fire, will be made a part
Of the prison record of each man who dis
tinguished himself in helping to prevent
the spread of the blaze, but neither the
prison board nor the governor will grant
a wholesale reduction of sentences to
these men.
Some of the men who displayed unusual
bravery in fighting the fire have been ap-
plicants for parole Others have since
filed application. Where the records show
that these men did unusual work during
the fire, the fact will be considered by
