BREAKING OUT ON LEG

Hilltop. Kan.-"About two years ago
l began to notice a breaking out on my
leg. At first it was very small but
soon 1t began to spread until it formed
large blotches. The itching was ter
rible and almost constant. Many
nights could not sleep at all. After
scratching it to relieve the itching It
would burn so dreadfully that
thought could not stand it. For near
ly a year I tried all kinds Of salves
and ointment. but found no relief.
Some salves seemed to make it worse
until there were ugly sores, which
would break open and run.
"One day saw an advertisement Of

Torrance when the roles outnumbered
the people. remember one time we
were playing Hamlet When the time
came, in the players scene, for the
man to poison the king, 1t was found
that the particular actor selected for
the part was on the stage in another
role.
Immediately the stage manager
grabbed an actor who was getting
ready to continue in another role.
The actor was wrapped In big man

on the stage and do the poisoning. No.
body would recognize him, said the
stage manager.
"'But,' protested the actor, what

4 thing to upset It and break It and
deprive It of a chance to change 1t
destroys It. We must make changes
in our fiscal laws, in our fiscal system,
whose object is development, . more
free and wholesome development, not
revolution or upset or confusion. We
must build up trade, especially for
eign trade. We need the outlet and
the enlarged field of energy more
than we ever did before. We must
build up industry as we'll and must
adopt freedom in the place Of arti-
fetal stimulation only SO far as 1t will
build, not pull down. In dealing with
the tariff the method by which this
may be done will be a matter Of judg-
ment, exercised item by item.

urge nothing upon you now at the

scure that first object or divert our
energies from that clearly defined
duty. At later time may take the
liberty of calling your attention to re-
forms which should press close upon
the heels OF the tariff changes, II not
accompany them, of which the chief
is the reform of our banking and cur

For the present, l put these matters
on one side and think only Of this one
thing-of the changes in our fiscal
system which may best serve to open
once more the free channels of pros

would serve to the utmost and

Wind Completes Destruction.
Less than 100 persons remain in the
former town of 5000 and they are
perched in the second and third stor'

lures on the highest street in the
town. A strong wind completed the
destruction begun by the opening Of
the south levee Tuesday.
The water within the levees was up
to the 81 foot level of the Ohio river.
The IS mile an hour gale dashed over
the already submerged levees. Be-
tween the churning waters and the
southwest gale, frame buildings fell
to pieces and the more substantial
structures were shaken.

A break in the northern levee also

Ohio was at stage of between IS

The entire north and east levees are
submerged. The levee hotels, hereto.

were deserted by the several hundred
men who had preferred them as re-
fuge for their families to the highest
buildings in the town.
State Guards Transferred.
The state guards were transferred
from their camps to the refugee
camps on the hills when the levees
began to crumble before the wind and

During the six hours storm the big
yawls of the naval reserve removed
from the second stories of homes, pre-

A Thrilling Story.
One Of the most thrilling of the
stories to reach here was brought by
Capt. S. A. Martin, regimental quarter
master, and Captain H. A. Jameson
of the Sixth Missouri National Guard.
They were rescued from a section of
the levee which broke away at Third
Point, Mo-, just below here, in q

Thirty-six of their men, they said,
