MINNEAPOLIS LADY BADLY
SCALDED WHILE COOKING

While preparing dinner young
Minneapolis wife had the misfortune
to scald her hand so badly that over
half the skin came off She was alone
at the time and rushed over to her
neighbor's for help. This neighbor
promptly applied Aliens Ulcerine
Salve and in ten days the hand was
completely healed without a scar.
This salve is one of the oldest rem
edies in America and since 1869 it
has been known as the only salve
powerful enough to cure chronic ul-
GERS and old sores of long standing.
Because it is so powerful, it will heal
burns and scalds without scar in
remarkably short time.

sores it heals in one-third the time
that common salves and liniments

WORLDS CONQUERORS
DR. M'LAREN MAKES HIS FINAL
ADDRESS YESTERDAY.
He Numerically Scores Bloodless
Corporations for Enriching Them
selves By Child Labor.

According to DR.. McLaren, the
world conquerors are not the Caesars
the Napoleons, or the Welllngtons'
hut the little children. In his last
morning lecture yesterday it started
out with the illustration Of the Master
placing a little child in the midst OF
them. The child has been III the
midst ever since then. 1t was the
great teacher who made children to
he the leaders and conquerors OF the
world and placed motherhood upon the
throne. Since the dawn of history
children have been accomplishing
what armies could not. Israel had
been for four centuries bondserNantS
in Egypt The armies Of the world
could not have delivered them from
the powerful Pharaoh, but in an ark
of bullrushes by the river Nile there
was a little child that could. The
forces of the world could not have
delivered the captives from Babylon
but the little Hebrew lad, came with
Gods help, could and he did it. In
like manner "A little child placed
christianity upon the throne Of mighty
pagan Rome, and a mere child opened
Japan to christianity and to western
civilization. The only bit Of reform
that big Russia has experienced for
decades came to her through little
child. The child has the mightiest
influence still. 1t is in the midst OF
the world s progress and in the midst
of the world s affection.
| am opposed to capital punish
ment because the victim of the scat
fold was once a child on his mother s
breast. Perhaps she left him in in
fancy and he was wrongly brought
up-falsely led and went astray. If
the unfortunate ones of earth had
then rightly led and trained, drunk |
ards graves would have been fewer,
prison doors would have been closed
and the scaffold no more. You Amer
lean children are the most highly ia
vored in the world. You have the best
of parents, the best Of homes, the
hest of schools, the best of everything
There are countries today in which
the children are slaves, working i'll
dark factories and in mines, deprived
of school and robbed of their sweetest
days. We boast Of our country as
the home of the brave and the land
of the free, but so long as thousands
of children are slaves in our factories,
as they are, especially in the south, we
cannot truly call this the home Of the
brave and the land of the free, for it
is neither. Any bloodless corpora
ton that is willing to enrich itself
by the enforced labor of little chill
dren, robbing them Of their school
life and their sweetest days, ought to
be legislated out of existence; any
man or company of men who will do
this, ought not to find standing room
under the stars and stripes.
Many examples of what children
have achieved in modern times were
also given. A great and happy fu-
ture was pictured for the children
who will follow and obey the instruc-
tion given by the speaker, who closed
with a recital Of one of Longfellow s
beautiful poems to the children.
