WATERY BLIsTERs ON FACE

Smithville, Ind.-"Six months ago
our baby girl, one year old, had a few
red pimples come on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to
become very irritated and fiery red
color. The pimples on the child's face
were at first small watery blisters, just
small blotch on the skin. She kept
scratching at this until in a few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead of the little blisters the
skin was cracked and scaly looking
and seemed to itch and burn very
much
I'VE used a number of remedies
which seemed to give relief for short
time then leave her face worse than
ever. Finally we got cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and box of Cuticura Oint-
ment. l washed the child's face with
very warm water and Cuticura Soap,
then applied the Cuticura Ointment
very lightly After doing this about
three times a day the itching and
burning seemed entirely gone in two
days time. Inside of two weeks time
her face seemed well. That was eiGhs
months ago and there has been no re-
turn of the trouble" (Signed) Mrs.
A. K. Wooden, Nov. 4, 1912.

Indefinite Question.

A contributor to Everybody's Maga-
zine tells of two men who were work
ing on the highway in small town in
Maine. As they worked, they dis
cussed various people and affairs of
national Importance. Finally one OF
them referred to the secretary of war,
and the other asked:
Joe, who is the present secretary
of war;"
why, l don't remember his name, .
replied Joe, "but here comes old Uncle
David Blake. Well ask him."
AS the old man drove up, the labor
,ers called out: Uncle David, can you
tell us who the secretary of war is"
Uncle David thought deeply for some
moments well, 1 ought ter know,
but, bless me, l can't seem ter remem-
ber." And he drove on, thinking deep
ly. Soon the two men saw Uncle
David coming back, and when he came
within hailing distance, he called out:
Say, you fellers. what war did you
mean, anyway"

Roosevelt's Position.

A full discussion of the discredit-
able part Theodore Roosevelt played
in the campaign of 1912 is feature
of a Saturday Evening Post article
written by ex-President Taft. Mr.
Taft points out that the sources from
which the Roosevelt votes came were
the Republicans as well as the Demo
Gratis who were carried along by his
radicalism and who believed that in
equalities and sufferings in human
society could be relieved by the adop-
tion of governmental measures advo-
Gated, by Roosevelt. Added to these
were the company of the discontented
who were glad to find their home
with a party that was a protest
against everything that was and gave
therefore promise of change in
their own conditions. Reviewing
these facts Mr.. Taft comes to the
fair conclusion that Roosevelt was
far from receiving at the polls the
support Of majority of all thegoters
who had right to voice in the
selection at Chicago of the Republican
candidate for the presidency.

This house is arranged with a view

ance which Is a small matter.
When you come to think Of it, there
is really no excuse for any man pay
ing rent when he can get o home on
these terms. He cannot lose anything,
for the reason that If he should ever
fail in his payments he has an equity
that has cash value somethins he
could not have If he paid rent. The
sense Of satisfaction in undertaking
an enterprise like this is tremendous,
for the occupant feels that he owns
the place the minute he gets into it,

tiveness of the place is delightful

TRADE AT Low EBB
Proof of Industrial Depression Is
Evident Everywhere.
Empty Freight Cars on sidings Tell
the Story-RepubIican Party Is
Sure to Be Returned
to Power.

"If the Democratic leaders think or
believe that there is not an indus
trial depression in the country, let
them ask the railroads to make
statement as to traffic conditions, and
the number of empty cars on the sid
ings,' said W. A. Rodenburgh, former
member of the house of representa-
tives from East ST. Louis. Il chal-
lenge the Democrats to investigate
told that some of my Democratic
friends have ridiculed what I said re-
Gently regarding conditions through
out the country. Not long ago went
from Washington to East st. Louis,
and on the train l met the traffic man
ager of one of the big railroads. He
is a Democrat, but he is business
man. He pointed out thousands OF
empty cars on the sidings, and he ex-
planned that there are in the country
hundreds of thousands of empties
crowding the side tracks. Hundreds
Of thousands, mind you, whereas a
year ago there was shortage.
"The prosperity of the railroads
means the prosperity of the country.
It is statistical fact that 40 per cent.
of the steel industry of the country
Is dependent upon the railroads. The
ramifications of this industry are in
calculable. / believe that if the five
per cent. increase in rates should be
granted by the interstate commerce
commission, it would mean an almost
immediate resumption of activity by
the great railroad lines. AS it is, no
extenson work has been planned or
done for long time.
There can be no doubt that the Re-
publican party will win this year. The
Progressives have been disintegrating
for long time. There will be no har-
mony among Republicans and Progress
sives, unless Colonel Roosevelt de-
crees it. 1t is up to him. The Pro-
gressive party without Colonel Roose-
welt would not live month. 1t was
not the Progressive party principles
that made Democratic victory possi-
BILE, but the personality of Mr.. Roose-
welt. / do not believe that Colonel
Roosevelt is as strong as he was, but
do say that the question of the
strength of the opposition to the
Democracy will depend largely upon
! what he does"

LIFE'S ROAD
smoothed by Change Of Food.

Worry Is big load to carry and an
unnecessary one. When accompanied
by indigestion it certainly is cause for
the blues.
But the whole trouble may be easily
thrown off and life's road be made
easy and comfortable by proper eating
and the cultivation Of good cheer.
Read what Troy woman says:
Two years ago made the acquaint-
ance of Grape-Nuts and have used the
food once day and sometimes twice,
ever since.
"At the time / began to use it life
was burden. was for years afflict-
ed with bilious sick headache, caused
by indigestion, and nothing seemed to
relieve me.

time

was on the verge of nervous prostra-
tion. / saw an adv. concerning Grape

from the old trouble and have not had

TroubIe Ahead for WiIson-

Viewed broadly, even though the
president is having things pretty much
his own way, the conditions do not
tend to continued unity of his party
or of its sustained support of the ad-
ministration. 1t will last for a while,
since aforetime lessons of the weak
ness of divided councils have sunk
deep. But grievances are accumulat-
Ing. It is seen to be not SO much a
Democratic administration as a Will
son administration. And there is in
Washington an undertone of feeling
which portends trouble ahead.

that their party will come back into
power again intrusted with the work
of carrying on this government on the
principles so well established, but
which are now in great danger of be-

Our Tariff In Canada.

So far as anyone has been able to
learn the tariff reduction has had no
effect whatever in decreasing the cost
Of living in the United States. To be
sure we have imported largely from
Canada. From which it would appear
that about the only result of the Dem
ocratic tariff has been to help Canada
market her food products at good
prices. OF course we are pleased at
the luck of the Canadians. but we had
supposed that tariff making, like char
lty, had home claims that outweighed
all others.
