RESINOL STOPS
SKIN TORMENTS
How This Wonderful Ointment Ends
Itching and Heals Skin EruptlOns.

The soothing, healing medication in
Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap
penetrates the tiny pores of the skin,
clears them of impurities, and stops
itching instantly. Resinol positively
and speedily heals eczema. rashes,
ringwOrms, and similar eruptions,
and clears away disfiguring pimples
and blackheads, when other treat
ments prove almost useless.
Resinol is not an experiment. It
is Doctors prescription which
proved SC wonderfully successful for
skin troubles that it has been used
by other doctors all over the country
for twenty years. No other treat
ment for the skin now before the pub
lie can show such a record of profess
siOnal approval. Every druggist
sells Resinol Ointment (50c. and 81
and Resinol Soap (25c).

Danish SCROFULA
Hoods SarsaparilIa Cleanses the
Blood, Skin Troubles Vanish.

Scrofula eruptions on the face and
body are both annoying and dis
figuring. Many a complexion would
be perfect if they were not present.
This disease shows itself IN other
ways, as lunches in the neck. in
famed eyelids, sore ears, wasting of
the muscles. form of dyspepsia, and
general debility.
Ask your druggist for Hoods Sar-
saparilla. This great medicine COM
pletely eradicates scrofula. II puri-
fies and enriches the blood. removes
hnmors, and builds up the whole
system. II has stood the test of
forty years, and has received thou
sands of testimonials of the entire
satisfaction it has given.
Scrofula is either inherited or ac-
quired. Better be sure you are quite
free from it. Get Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and begin taking it today.

New News Of Yesterday
Going to Jail for a
Principle
BY Holland.

Tilly Hayes, who was the success
full proprietor of three hotels. one in
Boston. one in Springfield and one in
New York. and who died in 1902, did
not confinc his career or his expert
ences to the management Of large ho-
tells. He was of influence as a poll
tician in Massachusetts,, having served
several terms in the Legislature and
having also been at one time a mem
ber OF the executive council of that
State.
One afternoon. and a very hot after
noon az that, Mr.. Hayes took a scat
beside me in the lobby OF one of his
hotels and was conspicuous, among
other things, because he wore a very
heavy wooden cap. That cap identified
him. for II was always on his head,
winter or summer, exactly as Commo-
dore Gerry was for years identified
by fur cap which he wore the year
round.
Mr. Hayes, I'm the course of our
chat. happened to speak OF Concord.
Mass. and of sheriff or town con-
stable who was an exceedingly quaint
character
is the very constable who put ThOreau
in jail because the latter refused to
pay his poll tax The constable Of
fered to lend Thoreau the money, but
have heard that Thoreau indignant
ly refused to take IT, Somebody did
pay the poll tax the next morning and
Thoreau, to his great disgust, was let
out OF jail with less ceremony than
he was put in,
"That story is true" said Mr.
Hayes, "and I can tell you another
somewhat similar which came under
my notice when / was a member Of
the executive council. 1t is about a
man who was locked up in a North
ampton Jail because he would not pay
the poll tax"
"As I remember the fact. the man
was not q citizen of the United States.
For some reason he went from Canada
TO Amherst, probably because he
wanted to be near the college. He
had invented a new system of stenog-
raphy and he was preparing a book
which would teach his system.
"When the time came for paying his
poll tax, 81, that sum was demanded
of him. He wouldn't pay It. He said
he was only a boarder in the town and
that he wasn't an American citizen
anyway. The tax collector delivered
him over to the constable and the
constable put him into Northampton
Jail There was no earthly way of
getting that man out except through
the payment of the poll tax. IL was
brought TO the attention of the execu-
tive council and We had many dis
cussions about It. We couldn't come
to any conclusion. yet we thought it
was shame TO keep that man in Jail.
At last the wife OF the governor, who
had been informed of our discussion,
suggested that some one of us pay the
tax. and the governor said he would
do IT, He had not thought of that be-
fore. SO the money was sent on to
the constable at Amherst and the man
was turned out of the Northampton
jail quite as disgusted as Thoreau
was when he by the payment. through
a friend Of his poll tax was actually
elected from the Concord jail"

echoed through the Chicago North

lunch car ever operated in the west.
1t was attached TO the golf special,
Chicago's swellest suburban train.
The golf special leaves Ccicago at
noon and it was to give the outbound
golfers chance to pick up lunch
on the way to the links that inspired
the lunch counter car.
1t is equipped with long white
counter running the entire length of
the car with row of high seats in

LEGISLATIVE COMMERCE
DESTROYERS.

If Mr.. La Follette's seaman's act
was drawn with a view to promoting
the deplorable government owned
merchant marien proposition it seems
to be rendering pretty effective SER
vice even before its actual opera
tion. To the extent of being a pre-
liminary disheartener to any private
capital enterprise in the shipping line
certainly no complaint can be made
of its efficiency.
Captain Dollar, to wnom we are
largely indebted for the visit of the
distinguished Chinese merchants now
with us, has no hesitancy in saying
that unless there arevision of the
La Toilette measure there is nothing
left for the privately owned Ameri-
can lines but to go out of business or
get out from under the Stars and
Stripes. The La Toilette law goes into
effect on November 2 of this year, and
on and after that date there is to be
a general hauling down of the Ameri-
can flag on American merchant ves-
sells. The Pacific Mail Steamship Co.
has served notice that its transpa-
cific sailing will cease on November
4, and after that the contract for
carrying the American mail from

AND PRESIDENT
In ORAToRICAL CONTEST

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 23.-
How three Brazilian parrots, huge,
red fellows with racuous voices al
most broke up President Wilson's
speech during the recent pan-Ameri-
can financial congress is "A story which
just leaked out today. The parrots
grace the patio" in the center of the
gorgeous pan-American union build
ing, where the conferences were held.
They have lofty perches and their
scheeches, when their voices are in
form, penetrate the recesses of the
building.
Annoyed and nervous by the
crowds at the conference. the par
rots voiced their Indignation about
the time the president began his
speech. Director John Barrett heard
their preliminary remarks. In PAN
ic he sent negro messenger to muz-
zle the noise. 1t was done, by whack-
ing stick on the head Of each par
rot at the least sign Of an outbreak.
The negro had a steady job during
the conference standing by the par
rots with his bludgeon, enforcing
week Of silence on the birds.
