was two weeks old he began breaking out on
his checks. The eczema began just With
pamples and they seemed to itch 30 badly
he would scratch his face and cause q
matter to run. Wherever that matter
would touch. it would cause another
pimple until It spread all over his body.
1t caused Disagreement while It lasted.
He had fifteen places on one arm and
his head had several. The deepest places
on ihis checks were a. large as silver
dollar on each side. He was so restless at
night VIC had to put mittens on him to keep
him from scratching them with his finger
nails. He could not sleep because put
those mittens on which would not allow him
to scratch and then he would wake up and
be cross. II he got little too warm %
night It seemed to hurt badly.
We tried . treatment and he didn't got
any better. He had the eczema about three

Extent Of the power.

]. Kirk Latta In Morning Herald:
Some idea OF the extent of the power
developed in this wonderful place is
gathered from a statement made by
Dr.. Barr: He said that enough cleo
tricity could be developed at this plant
to light every home In the United
States; and again that if lights were
strung on wires fplacing the lights one
hundred feet apart, these wires would
reach twice around the world and ev-
cry light would be going.

afternoon seeing the sights at various
places around the dam, and 1t was
surely treat they will never forget,
thanks to the power company and DR..
Barr. A visit to the dam will pay any
one.

To Place Free Sanitary Drinking
Cups on the Southern.

Washington, b. c., April 26-Ar-
rangements have been made by the
Southern Railway to furnish sanitary
individual drinking cups to passen-
gers on all trains and a large supply
of cups of the collapsible paper type
has been ordered. AS soon as the
cups have been received each con-
ductor will be furnished with a sup
ply and any passenger desiring a cup
will receive one free of charge on ap-
plication to the conductor.
Furnishing drinking cups to pas
sengers on the large number of trains
operated by the Southern Railway
will involve a substantial expendi-
ture which is being undertaken to
provide for the convenience of pa
irons of the railway. All common
drinking cups have been removed
from trains in compliance with Unit
ed States Government regulations
and the statutes and ordinances of
many States and municipalities.

Our Democratic friends now have
the power to pass an income tax Law.
They have declared that this is the
fairest kind OF tax TO everybody.
while the tariff duties have been de-
nounced as the most unfair form OF
taxation. Therefore, from their
standpoint, they should abolish all
tariff duties and raise all revenue
from the income tax.
One thing is certain. however, and
that is, IL the people had a chance TO
vote again to-day. there would be no
danger OF a Democratic administra-
tion getting in power, even by acci-
dent. This condition has created
such a feeling in the country that
there Is every evidence of the Repub-
lican elements getting together for
common defence OF the industries
and prosperity OF the country. And
IL they do, their forces will be large
ly augmented by tens OF thousands
OF disgusted Democrats.
1t is clear that the next President
of the United States will not be a
Democrat.
