Kansas City, Mo, Oct. "a, l014:-
my husband had rash all over his
body, and soon the WHOLE FAMILY

scaly and raised up on the arms and
body in big bumps. This trouble
burned and itched 90 that it would
nearly drive one crazy. It was always
worse at night, 70 We could not sleep.
We all had this trouble for about two
or three years, and during that time
tried many remedies and prescriptions
with no results. We tried Resinol Oint-
ment and Resinol Soap and it RE-
LIEvED AT ONCE, and before the
third jar of ointment had been used, We
were al completely cured. It has been
four months since we were cured. and
there are no traces of the trouble" -

have prescribed them for 20 years in

WILLOW SUPPLY CUT OFF.

Because the European supply of will
low rods has been largely cut off sew
eral American manufacturers Of viii.
low furniture and baskets have asked
the department OF agriculture for the
addresses OF persons in this country
who have taken up willow growing.
For some years the department has
distributed willow cuttings of import.
ed varieties with view to developing
the production of high grade willow
rods in the United States. The usual
! imports of willows come chiefly from
England, Belgium. Holland, France.
and Germany, but these sources have
been practically closed for several
months.
One manufacturer reports that jap
anese osiers are taking the market
formerly supplied by Germany, at a
slightly higher price. Finished will
low baskets from Japan have come 10
where split bamboo was the only Jap
anese hasketware on sale before the
war. As consequence of the short
age of imported osiers, it Is said, the
price of American willows has in
creased and growers here are meeting
with a heavy demand for their pro-
duct
Nearly two million willow cuttings
have been distributed free by the for
est service among state experiment
stations, forest schools, and individual
growers. The value OF willow culture
as a profitable means of utilizing over.
flow lands not suitable for other
crops has been demonstrated. and the
department of agriculture maintains a
small willow holt on the government
farm at Arlington, Va. for furthc.
tests and for the continued produc
ton OF cuttings for free distribution
A bulletin on basket willow culture
recently published by the department
discusses the varieties and methods
which have proved most satisfactory
in this country.

THE OLD HOME.

The OLD HOME.
An old lane, an old gate, an old house
by a tree;
A wild wood, viii. brook-they will
not let me be;
In boyhood knew them, and still
they call to me.
Down deep in my hearts core / hear
them and my eyes
Through tear mists behold them be-
meath the old time skies,
Mid bee bloom and rose bloom and
orchard lands rise.
hear them and heartsick with long
ing is my soul
To walk there, to dream there, be-
meath the sky's blue bowl;
Around me. within me, and wear
world made whole.
To talk with the wild brook of al
the long ago,
To whisper the woodwind of things
we used to know
When we were old companions. before
my heart knew woe.
To walk with the morning and watch
its rose unfold:
To browse with the noontide lulled in
its heart of gold:
To lie with the nighttime and dream
the dreams of Old
To tell to the old trees and to each
listening leaf.
The longing. the yearning, as in my
boyhood brief,
The old hope, the old love, would ease
me Of my grief.
The old lane. the old gate, the old
house by the tree,
The wild wood, the wild brook-they
will not let me be;
In boyhood I knew them, and still
they call TO me.

Problem Of Textile Dyes

London, April 22.-Representatiyes
of the American textile industry are
now in London for the purpose Of
bringing to the attention of the Brit.
ish government what is said to be a
critical condition growing out of the
threatened failure of the dye supply
from Germany. Pressure is being
brought to bear to keep the trade
routes open for dye shipments from
German ports.
1t is estimated roughly that an an.
nual output Of five hundred million
dollars worth Of silk, wooden and cot.
ten goods manufactured in the United
States can reach its finished state on.
ly through the use Of dyes made in
Germany. OF these essential dyes
there arenow on hand only thirty
days supply, according to informa'
ton furnished by the textile repre-.
sentatives. Three ships are at this
writing in German ports loaded whit
dyes consigned to America valued at
49, Joe, 900, sufficient to supply the
E31llcI 1Cdu l1llllS ullLll AUGUST. ,&
The war has disclosed a condition
with respect to the American textile
interest and its dependence upon Ger
many for dye which, while we'll known
to the experts, will, cause surprise in
lay circles. At anti!bellum prices the
actual value of dyes imported annual
ly from Germany was about ten mill.
ion dollars, or only about two per cent
of the total value Of the produce to
the finishing and marketing of which
these days are absolutely indispen-
sible. That such a condition was per
mitted to continue arose from the
fact that the processes of dye manu-
facture, while not precisely secret.
are highly skilled and may be acquir-
ed and applied commercially only by
ton.
There are. said to be fewer than
twelve hundred chemists holding d.
plomas from the great German uni
.versities, employed in the industry of
dye.making in Germany. 1t is this
highly trained organization controlled
by a few big concerns which gives
Germany such power over the worlds
textile interests. At the outbreak Of
the war it is said that a Germantown
ed and managed dye factory located.
in England was taken over by the
British government but. the new man

BURGLAR KICKS

Girls Jewelry.

A tramp baker, name unknown, who
has been working for John Homan
for several days past, is said to haye
gone to the rooms over Lucas store
in which several Of the young women
employed at the Homan restaurant
live last night and taken a jewel case
and several other trinkets. The po-
lice located the man in front of one
of the local pool halls last night and
arrested him. He put up a good fight
but the officers came out victorious.
He was taken to the city Jail and
promptly kicked the door Of his cell
so as to break the hasp and open the
door. He was then taken to Sheriff
French's hotel for safe keeping. The
man will probably be arraigned on a
burglary charge today.

Big Business Helped Teddy's
100000 Fund in Presi-
dental Race.

Syracuse, N. Y, April 23.-Theodorc
Roosevelt told on the second day OF
his cross-examination about his deal
ings with bosses" and his personal
relations with William Barnes, and
his ideas about campaign funds Of
millicos of dollars. He mentioned the
famous half.million dollars which
Thomas +. Ryan contributed to the
presidential cause of Alton B. Parker,
and swore he never had seen the list
of names of persons who helped to
swell the fund OF three million used
in connection with his own campaign
for the presidency.
BIG Business Is There.
The list contained the initials CT
men whom the Colonel readily idelti-
fled as being allied with the country's
most powerful business and financial
interests. In speaking Of the Ryan
contribution, the witness gave it as
his opinion that the leader of big bust.
ness who contributed a half million
dollars ITO help elect a candidate TO:
president of the United States is
prompted by the same spirit which
would cause him to donate a similar
sum to the church and that such a
contributor has no more hope of re.
ward in one case than in the other.
Personally, he said, he would hava
been very much surprised if many
masters of big business had not con
tributed to the republican campaign
of 1904.
Mentions Standard Oil.
The Colonel mentioned Standard
Oil campaign contributions, too, and
said if the report Of the congressional
committee which investigated his
campaign contributions showed that
"H. R. H." 81. D. A." which witness
thought stood for H. H. Rogers, John
D. Archbold, had contributed to the re.
publican fund in 1904, he was aston.
ished. He said he had given explicit
instructions against receiving any
Standard Oil contributions. Person
ally, he emphatically declared, nc
would regard Just as highly contritu-
lions Of SIS from the station agent OF
Oyster Bay as he would contributions
of $25,00O from George w. Perkins,
who in 1904 was a partner of J.. 4

Roosevelt said he regarded William
Barnes as a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. HYDE
who like other politicians had his
"good and his bad Sides" He said he
had been persistent in his efforts to
make politicians do what he consid-
cred was right, and that instead Of en-
.deavoring to sever ligaments between
these "Siamese twins of politics.
his aim always had heen to have CDR

Within Thirty Miles Of Fiercest
Fighting Of the Whole

Warsaw, April 23-The city Of War
saw, which is nearer to the actual
lighting zone than any other city of
its size in Europe, and which mas liv-
ed for months under the continued
menace of German occupation wears
the astonishing aspect OF a disinter-
ested observer, for whom the fortunes
of war have but a casual interest.
This is the capital of the country
whose sons almost equally divided
are fighting half on the Russian and
half on The Austro-German side.
Warsaw has been .Within thirty
miles Of that fierce, persistent and ap-
parentiy untiring German offensive
against which a large part Of the en-.
tire Russian army has been massed,
and is subject to all the ills which
follow in the wake Of battle. such as
dearth and provisions and fuel. con-
gestion and disease. The best farms
and estates of Poland have been turn
ed into vast burial grounds, her peO.
pie are homeless and starving, and
every day seems to darken the pros.
pect of that regeneration of the Pol.
ish people into an independent nation,
which is the dream Of every Pole,
whether he is a Russian, a German or
an Austrian subject. From the &C.
cumrlated filth Of the trenches, from
the thousands Of shallow graves where
Russian. German and. Polish soldiers
have been hastily buried, cholera, ty.

ing and in the opinion Of military doc.
tors when the softening of the ground
and melting of the streams begins in
early spring disease will run like fire
through Poland.
Over a hundred thousand refugees
who have thrown themselves upon the
mercy of the various committees Of
Polish relief in Warsaw have brought
into the city five known cases of clol.
era. The cases have been promptly
Isolated and all who have been sub.
jected to the contagion have been de.
ported into the country. Warsaw is
at present suffering from a dearth of
coal since the supply from southern
Poland in the Chenstokovau region
has been cut off by the German inva.
sion.
One then is entitled to a feeling of
amazement at the undim.nished spir-
its and the apparently normal life
which exists in this city which, one
reasons, ought to be trembling on the
verge Of catastrophe. The streets
are gay with laughter and song, the
