Terry, Miss.-When I hrst noticed the

itch on my entire person. but my facs
seemed to be more affected than other parts.
I would rub them which would make them
itch much worse. Then I began to scratch
and this caused them to become large and
form Watsry pimples- They festered and
came 20 a head. then they burst and became
cores. On account OF the itching at night
I could not rest well

Live Stock Market in Detail.

Kansas City, Stock Yards, Oct. z.
Some cattle were held over in first
hands yesterday, which were sold
today at the bids on them yesterday.
The market is generally steady with
some signs of. weakness on cows
above the Gamer grades, and stock
grades and plain feeders. The supply
today is 10 thousand head, follow
ing S5 thousand head yesterday. The
prime grades are scarce, the best
here selling at $10.5O. Fancy mix
ed yearlings sold above $40. The
bulk Of the run here this week is
plain grass steers from Kansas, Ok
lahoma and the Panhandle, New
Mexico, and Colorado. Most of the
sales of steers are at $3.50 to s6.75
both to killers and the country buy
ers. Choice feeders in fair flesh sell
up to So, and flesh steers for a short
feed up to $S.75, and these kinds OF
cattle are steady, having a good out
net.
The supply is run Of grass cat

ence in the price between the cattle
the killers are taking and the coun-

But long time loans are discour-

thing that can be turned into money

better prospect ahead for cattle
prices, particularly on long time deal

WHAT WHISKY DOES

Bootleg whisky, or for that matter
any kind of whiskey. makes people
do funny thingsoftentime serious
things which would never have been
done had the booze been kept out OF
crimes committed
the thing-We see it every day-at
home and abroad-most hideous
crimes committed by men under the
influence of whisky and the instances
are getting to be too numerous to be
overlooked.
Within the past few months two
men have been killed in tins city,
who without doubt would have been
alive today. had they been sober
men. Edgar Holland was the first,
Sol Homer was the second.
Most men have more or less mean
ness in their system; ordinarily care
full. thinking men, keep the mean
ness hid and let only the good things
crop out-but when booze comes in
to any mans life to any great extent,
the meanness comes out all over IL
there is any in him, and whatever
good qualities he may have are hid
den away.
The shooting last Sunday after
noon was a terrible thing. and more
terrible yet is the effect it has upon
the families of the slayer and the
slain. A few drinks of whisky, a
few heated words, threat or two,
and after a while. four pistol shots,
and its over.--Sol Homer lays dead
upon the streets in pool of his
own blood, and crowds of excited
and afxious people hurry to the
scene to learn what has happened.
Sol Homer was an. unusually In
teliigent man, well educated, well
read, courteous, and friendly, when
sober, but few drinks of liquor
made devil of him and when un-
der whisky's influence, his friends,
and it is said his family. feared and
Stunned him.
Charlie Moye. the slayer, had liv-
ed here but short time. and is re-
puted to be man of good habits,
who attended to his own affairs, was
peaceable and unoffending. He too,
1t is said, had been drinking, and
now is filled with remorse.
Why can't we learn our lessons? p
Why don't the young men OF the
country heed the horrible crimes set
as examples before them every day,
and cut the booze out of their lives
before It is too late?

the 100 million dollar war tax rev.
enue as It is now being revised.
The first action of the caucus was
to increase the tax on beer to s1.75
per barrel. with drawback of five
per cent for the purchase of revenue
stamps In advance.
The proposed tax of five cents per
gallon on rectified spirits, treasury
experts intimate would yield five mil
lion dollars. Thus the total to be
derived from liquors would be more
than half the anticipated treasury
deficit caused by the European war
Before any votes were taken there
was a general discussion of the pro-
posed tax of cent per gallon on
gasoline, the SO cent horsepower tax
on automobile sales and the House
bill tax Of 50 per thousand on bank
capital and surplus. Nuemerous am
endments we're offered which were
discussed at the night session.
After a two hour session the eau
Gus voted 20 to II to strike from the
bill the proposed tax on gasoline.
The committee had reduced the tax
from &c TO 1c per gallon.
After considerable discussion the
caucus also struck out the automo-
bile sales tax, which It is estimated
would have raised about 10 million
dollars.
The committee also revised the
tax on banking capital. AS framed
by the Senate committee the bill
would have levied 81 for every 1
thousand dollars of banking capital
and surplus. This rate was reduced
TO 81 per / thousand dollars.

cines, cosmetics, perfumes and chew
ing gums. sue has were excluded in

before the measure was turned owe,

The committee added the medic
inc tax section to make up for the
deficit their revision of the original
House bill might cause and also to
increase the revenue as much as pos
sible. No accurate estimate has been
given the committee as to the sum
to be derived from the new tax but
1t will amount to several million dol
lars.
The amendement would provide a
graduate stamp tax Of 1-Sc on arti-
cles costing not more than five cents
to SIS cents for more than 15c or
less than 25c articles and 5-Sc for
each additional 25c. Articles includ-

The proposed tax on chewing gum
is 4c for each box worth 81 or less
and 4c for each additional 81 in val

Another tax added is on spark
ling wines, not otherwise specified in
the bill, the rate to be 1c for one

In the proposed tax Of 81 for
