ITCHING TERRIBLE ON LIMB

r. F. d. No. 3, Clarkfield, Mimi
My trouble was of long standing 1t
started with some small red and yell
low spots about the size of a pin head
on my leg and every morning there
was a dry scale on top covering the
affected part and when those scales
were falling off the itching was more
than | could stand at times. The first
year | did not mind it so much as it
was only itching very badly at times,
but the second year it advanced all
around my leg and the itching was
terrible. l had TO be very careful to
have my clothing around the affected
part very loose. At night time / often
happened to scratch the sore in my
sleep. Then had to stand up, get out
of bed and walk the floor till the spell
was over.
Il bought lots OF salves and tried
many different kinds of medicine but
without any success. l got a cake OF
Cuticura Soap and fifty-cent box OF
Cuticura Ointment and when l had
used them / was nearly over the itch
ing. But / kept on with the Cuticura

Explaining the TeIeuraph.

AS a general rule, the telegraph no
longer arouses the wonder and awe
that it did in our grandfathers In re-
mote countries, however. there are
still people who have never heard OF
it. or who are unable to understand
it. Das Echo tells of the perplexity
that the telegraph caused in a small
village of Bosnia.
The government had installed a
telegraph line from Prijedor to BIZ
hatsch.
What is the meaning of this wire?"
asked the astonished inhabitants of
village through which the line hap
pened TO pass
1T is a telegraph" said the head
man of the village, who had been in
consultation with the officials. One
can send message along this wire,
straight from here to STEAMBOAT"
The villagers were incredulous
THAT is impossible. How can a mes
sage run along a wire?"
The headman thought awhile: then
he hit upon the proper explanation.
Imagine he said. "a dog that is ter
ribly long, and whose tail is stretched
like the wire on these poles; imagine
that his tail is SO long that he reaches
from here to Stamhoul. Now, suppose
we pinched his tail here. Wouldn't
he howl in Stamboul?"

THE PEOPLE WANT A PROGRAM.

-HE DEMOCRATS won the Con-
 gressional elections of 1910 and A the Presidential election of 1912 because they offered a positive and constructive program for the manage meut of the country. The people had become convinced long before that there was something wrong. They had heard the ills of the country and the sins of those in power preached about until it had been threshed bare. They had passed the first sensational fire alarm stage Of their troubles, and were ready to give their votes to those who offered the best plan for recon structjon.
 That is the situation in Alaska. What the people want is a program that will get them some place. They know all about the recent history of their Territory. They are not interest ed in quarrels between factions and individuals. They are ready to work with those who present the most logi- cal and best constructive program for fighting wrongs and upbuilding the country.

tiops being that they should be over

tions being that they should be over the age of tweuty-one years.
 Out of this seemingly innocent pro yiso arises a storm of indignation, if opponents of the present city council are to be believed. The sacred rights of womanhood are being invaded and prying registration officer is seek ing to extort from unwilling members of the fair sex the real truth about the delicate question of age!
 We even know some men who are touchy upon this point and avail themselves of the right to state that they are of legal age" and the la dies may, of course, exercise the same privilege, a fact which the registration officer claims is freely made known to them.
 Still, we must have an issue in the city campaign, and what promised to be a spirited contest for the Council now seems to hang upon this para mount question. We would be glad to take the part of the ladies if we felt that their cause really needed a champion. Unfortunately for the charge. many of them know Mir. Petit, and we fancy that the facts will hard Iy prove him to be a stern, relentless inquisitor. seeking to rob womankind of what near humorists have called her inviolable secret.

It should not suspend the presump- tiou of innocence in the inquiry as to whether or not the Associated Press is a trust that the charge against it was made first by the New York Sun. The Sun has been such an early-bird and stout defender of each and every combination that was attacked by the government and afterward declared by the courts to be trust that one would be justified if he should conclude that it could not recognize a trust if it should see one.

SHIP SUBSIDY IN DISGUISE.

THE LAW giving American coast,
 wise ships free passage through
 the Panama canal is nothing more or less than ship subsidy act in disguise, and time after time the American people have gone on record in opposition to subsidies. If Ameri. can ships use the canal free of cost the tax they save, whether they reap the profit or whether the American manufacturer and producer get it, must be paid by the American con. sumers. It is exactly equivalent to ad, ding to the tariff tax. Discussing this phase of the law. the New York World aptly says:
 Always frank. MT. Taft was never more so than in his rec ent Canadian speech. The idea of Congress in passing and my idea in signing the Panama Tolls bill" he said. twas to give our coastwise vessels a subsidy"
 It is admitted. therefore, that the subsidy idea is so strong in Washington that it is able to vio- late a treaty with Great Britain and reduce the Democratic plat form of 1912 to blank paper. The treaty says: "The canal shall be free to the vessels of commerce and of war of all nations on terms of entire equality" The platform adopted nearly two months before a Democratic House accepted the subsidy idea, favored legislation in behalf of our merchant marine without bounties or subsidies from the Treasury"
 Republicans. to whom the sub- sidy idea has always appealed, may not be troubled by Mir. Taft's candor. but how about the Demo crats? Was it their purpose all along to build a canal at public expense and then pay monopoly to use it?

LET ALASKA COLLECT AND USE
 ITS OWN TAXES.

THE TIME has arrived when all
 classes of taxes paid by the peo-
 pie of Alaska that are not re- quired to be paid in other portions of American territory should be turned into the Territorial Treasurer. The Federal license tax law that has been in vogue in Alaska for the last de- cade and a half is class of taxation laid by the Federal government on no other section of the American Ma tion. In other parts of the country the revenue producing sources that are taxed by the Federal government under this system are subject exclu- sively to local authorities. They should be so here.
 It is no justification for the license tax that the Federal government ex- bends the money derived from it for the benefit of Alaska. The people of the Territory are the best judges as to the fairness of tax levies on Alas kaus and the manner in which it's revenues should. be expended.
 This recalls that We have only start ed the work Of establishing common wealth in Alaska. and the action of the government in providing railroads for the opening of the Territory and the proposed releasing of the coal lands for development but adds to the volume Of what remains to be done and the necessity for becoming im- mediately active.
