PIMPLES ALL OVER FACE

1413 e. Genessee Ave-, Saginaw,
Mich.-"Cuticura Soap and Ointment
cured me of very bad disease Of the
face without leaving scar. Pimples
broke out all over my face, red and
large. They festered and came to
head. They itched and burned and
caused me to scratch them and make
sores. They said they were seed
warts. At night was restless from
itching. When the barber would
shave me my face would bleed terri
bly,. Then scabs would form after
wards, then they would drop off and
the so-called seed warts would come
back again. They we're on my face
for about nine months and the trou-

"As we came nearer we could hear

VICE ADMiRAL!s

The reappearance of a situation where the advantage of the office of vice admiral is being realized has made it's impression upon the senate. it's action in the passage of the bill providing for the appointment of six officials to fill that rank in the navy may not add anything to tise efficiency of the United States navy as 1t stands today but it will serve to overcome a situation which has been the cause of much embarrassment in the past, dur ing the trouble in China and even in the present naval demonstration off +dexico.
 By reason of the rank of vice admir- al in other navies and the presence of such official with one or more ships, together with warships of other coun- tries as is the case in Mexican waters, United States rear admirals by reason of their rank must take second place except that permission be granted, as has been done in this instance that Rear Admiral Fletcher take charge.
 With such situations liable to arise at any time even though it does ere ate an office which is not required for the operation of our navy under ordin- al-v circumstances, there is disclosed a weakness which exists on occasion of international difficulties, in which our navy may participate with others. It isn't case for the use of more gold braid but it is an occasion when such an office is needed to give the re- quired authority to Uncle Sam's navy. Whatever is calculated to give proper place and recognition to the United States naval officials, even though the officials are fully equipped with abil- ity now, ought not to be neglected.

AFTER THE GAMBLERS.

The police of the city of Waterbury are bent on a cleanup of all forms of gambling. They are particularly in terested in riddiRg the city of the flood of chance and punch boards which are doing a big business in the dis tribution of alluring presents. Little is said in the orders which would in dicate that this movement is directed against the gambling which deals more particularly with cards and dice, though such may be supposed to be under less freedom all the time.
 Certainly no city should imagine that 1t has disposed of gamblers and gam bling devices until a clean sweep has been made and obedience maintained. and this should include the poker rooms and the practice of shooting craps. There is nothing which injures the morality of a city much more than the wide-open gambling joints If Wa terbury sees the detrimental effects of the practice of selling chances either for what it accomplishes or fer what it leads up to, 1t is commendable &C., tion which is being taken to drive it out of the city and the carrying out of the orders issued to the police de- pertinent 10 bring in everything that 4S d saihb4e or a game or chance Will be watched with interest by the other cities of the state.

THE PARTY OF LINCOLN.

When Senator BoTah addressed the Young Republican club of New York upon Abraham Lincoln on the occasion of the martyred presidents anniver- sary he not only fully understood the high principles by which the great emancipator was actuated, but he is and always has been 8 close student of the party which has done much for the country through the upholding of those very principles. As other leaders have pointed cut it is indicated by his declarations that he opposes any change in the party which would mean the surrender of it's mighty and im- pulsive policies for the welfare of the people. They are not te be thrown aside for vague and theoretical gener- aAzatioRs.

VALUATION OF RAILROADS.

Whether the physical valuation of the railroads of this country costs seven or twelve million dollars, as it is carried on during the next six years, it cannot but be recognized as a big undertaking and a task which when finished can be of immense value to the nations railroad questions. There is also reason to feel that this same great job may amount to little or noth- ing after it is completed even as Com missioner Prouty has intimated in his discussion of the matter.
 As in many of the other big investi- gations which have been made it all depends upon the amount of credence which is placed in it after it is com pleted and whether it will at that time be representing the conditions of the roads at present or six years hence. For just such g, purpose as this commission is to work, a tariff board operated for the securing of a basis from which an impartial fixing of the tariff could be made, yet it is a matter of recent history that such data was totally ignored. The tariff was changed but the revision was based upon theory rather than upon available facts and figures.
 This is the situation which is faced in this valuation. The hope is that rates can be adjusted in accordance with the finding and that roads and the people can be treated properly. It is hardly to be expected that the val nation will be accepted by everyone any more than the work of the tariff board. and such being the case little benefit may result. However, if all that is hoped for it will result it will be worth the time and the cost.
