TTot an Inrh of Healthy fTUin I.e-fc. My little son, a boy of five, hro'.io. out with an itching rash. Three doctors prescribed for him, but he kept getting" arte until we could not dross him any i:ore. They finally advised me to try a certain medical college, but its treatment did no good. At the time I was induced to try Cutlcura he was sj bad that I had to cut hiä hair off and put the Cuticura Ointment on him on bandages, as it was impossible to touch him with the bare hand. There was not one square inch of skin on his whole body that wa3 not affected. He was one mass of

sores. The bandages teed to stick to TiSj ol-in nrtt in .mAtrlni, thsrn it 11 S(1 his skin and in removing them it used to take the skin oft with them, and the screams from the poor child w.re heartbreaking. I began to think that lie would never get well, but after the second application of Cuticura Ointment I began to see signs of improvement, and with the third and fourth applications the sores commenced to dry up. His skin peeled off twenty Uaies, but it finally yielded to tha treatment. Now I can say that he is entirely cured, and a stronger and healthier boy you never saw than hi is to-day. twelve years or more since the cure was effected.

V Huninrmn Ciiimiinn A good start has been made with the bill to establish a commission of five senators and five representatives to inquire into the business methods of the executive and legislative branches of the government. The Senate has passed the bill without snv tnnlorial nnnncitinn As Mr. Taft ,ha3 kpn f' a measure of 1 . this sort and other leaders of the House have been urging the economies which this bill aims to bring, the chances for its enactment long before the end of the session are excellent. Senator Aldiich said that $100.000.000 is wasted every year by the government in the duplication of work, the employment of three men to do things which two can do better, and thr extravagance in appropriations for needless purposes. He suggested a commission to make a comprehensive 'investigation of the whole question of j outlay and to devise means to stop all , the leaks. In his address in Newark J Mr. Taft favored the commission and ! lirppd tfcp n .Innt inn r f enmp hii(1fpt scheme like that in operation In England, .France, Italy and the rest of the great countries, in which the matter of outgo and income would be placed in one set of hands, so that deficits would be prevented. This is in line with suggestions which have been made by the House leaders many times. As the commission is to be com posed of members of Congress solely, lts report wm be sure t0 got att?1 tion by our national lawmakers cs well as by the presi(Jent and the peoI pie. That there is need for stopping the waste is manifest. The President has been calling attention to it from the beginning of his term. He instructed the heads of the executive departments to cut down the estimates to the lowest mark compatible with the good of the service. The House fell into line with thi3 economy idea to the extent that several of the appropriation bills as passed by that chamber were below those of a year ago. One- or two of them, especially the rivers and harbors bill, are in excess of last winter's appropriations, which brings the total a little higher than it was a year ago. The : quicker the business commission bill Is enacted the better the country will be pleased. This promises to lead to the adoption of the budget plan and thus tc check needless waste. What I Democracy f Speaking of partisan politics, the effort to define a Democrat or Democracy still fail3 to bring forth an answer which is in any .material decree illuminating. Many eminent authorities continue to tell us what Democracy is not. For example, the Richmond Times-Dispatch declares: "Not everything that Is written in the Democratic platform is Democratic. Free silver was not Democratic, centralization of power is not Democratic, populism Is not Democracy." Here we find, that even a leading newspaper in the historically Democratic state of Virginia making confe.'Mon that It is far easier to tell what Democracy is not, than tell what it really is. WThy play upon words? Why beat about the bush? Hegardless of what Democracy meant in the days of Thoma3 Jefferson, or later in the days of Andrew Jackson, or still later In the days of Grover Cleveland, to-day Democracy and Bryanism are synonymous term. At the present time there is a deep struggle on between Democracy and insurgency to determine which shall absorb the larger portion of populism, with the final outcome at present writing very much In doubt. This much, however, admits of little controversy the authoritative definition of Democracy is to be found in current platforms the latest of which was written at Denver two years ago this summer and dictated from start to finish by Williaai J. Bryan.- Desmonds Capital. The Prem tu re Clarion. The Democratic newspapers. in New York rejoiced greatly a few months ago over what was pronounced the regeneration pf the state Democratic party. An enlightened era had set In, said the papers. The organization was to become that of Cleveland's day, its diadem reset with honored names and its purpose aiade as pure as the clearest jewel. The editors were extravagant with poetry. Yet, on further examination of the refurbished party, the people of New York may hardly be expected to stampede the recruiting offices of the organization. The party is being made over. William J. Connors of Buffalo is to resign as chairman, a brief reprieve having been granted him to save his political sensitiveness. The man who granted the respite and dictated the terms wa3 Charles F. Murphy, Tammany chieftain, beneficiary of jobbed municipal offices, profiter of grafting and corruption and looted public funds. The sight of the New York state Democracy, obedient to the orders of General Charles Murphy, proud to march under the banners of the unspeakable Tammany and singing the party songs in harmony with those who put the white slave traffic upon a business basis, might be amusing if it were not so pitiful and Indecent. The announcement of the resurrection of Democracy was like some of the California fruit of the markets. It wa3 distinguished by its unripeness.Toledo Blade. Parisian beggars have bcn known to go far beyond a sham fight with a dog in the gutter for a crust, the London Chronicle says. Maxime du Camp has recorded how, on an August Sun1 day in 1SS7, at an hour when the quals i were crowded, a shabby man uttered j a cry of despair, and threw himself 1 Into the Seine near the Pout de 1'Alma. He had sunk twice when a man in workmen's clothes plun?ed in, swam after him and effected an apparently difficult rescue. As the crowd surrounded the two on the bank the rescued one slowly came to, reproached the rescuer for saving a hopeless, workless man, who had not eaten for three days, and tried to rush off again, crying, "Let me die!" The rescuer pulled out half a franc, saying. "Take this; I shall only have to go without dinner tO;day," and, of course, the crowd liberally followed suit. But the skeptical police shadowed the tyo, saw them count up the spoils in a tavern and presently arrested the two ex-convicts, dead drunk.

I MEANING OF THE FOSS VTCTOItY.

For the first time in its history the Fourteenth Mass;u-hu.--ett. district haselected a Democrat to Congress. That Democrat, too. is a lom.r Ilopa'jli-an who hr.s for years mad.- the cause of tariff revision and lviipro, iiy with Canada peculiarly his own. and who has been steadily gaining in strength and prominence because of his enthusiasm and persistence in that cause. It is altogether gratuitous to go beyond the facts of the case in interpreting the Fos victory. Mr. Foss m ule Lis campaign on the tariff issue as it presents itself to Massachusetts, and he made the question of the "cost of living a phase of the general tariS question. His opponent was no standpatter or bourbon; he distinctly repudiated Cannoni-sm and sided with the progressive Republicans. But the voters of the district must have wished to give particular emphasis to their dislike of the new tariff, with its threat of commercial war with the Dominion, and it is not unfair to add that they must have wished to evince their resentment at the efforts of obstinate defenders of the Payne-Aldrieh tariff, from the President down, to paint it in glowing colors as a fine, statesmanlike, cruelly misunderstood achievement. In no other way can the turning of a majority of over 14,000 for the late Mr. Lovering in 190S into a majority of .",600 for Foss in March, 1910. be interpreted. To claim that the result of this byelection, even in the light of the Increased Democratic vote in the De Armond Missouri district means a Democratic Hou.se next fall is to indulge in gratuitous and proverbially hazardous prophecy. On the other hand, to minimize the importance of the election as1 a "straw" is even more foolish and idle. The verdict of the "Fourteenth Massachusetts" should be pondered in Washington. It contains a message for the standpatters, for the thick-and-thin apologists for the tariff, even for the White House. It should cause a slump in the production of tariff speeches that annoy and offend voters; it should increase the President's determination to avoid a break with Canada over an Issue that should never have been raised. It might also suggest the need of the earlier attention to the woolen schedule, which can be revised without re-opening the whole tariff question, and which Mr. Taft has admitted ;to be the weakest feature of the new act. Chicago Record-Herald. The Failure of Partien. In the parliaments of Germany, France, Austria and Italy there Is no such thing as a clean-cut division between government and opposition parties. Great Britain and the United States have offered the chief examples of unequivocal party government, and in both there is an evident falling away from the old ideal. The,nresent Congies3 of the United States is so heavily Republican that tuere seems almost room for two Republican organizations. We see a hint of such an outcome In the apparently irreconcilable conflict between regulars and Insurgents. Their differences appear to be more real than the differences between Republicans and Democrats. In fact, the Democrats are a negligible quantity. They have no strong spokesman, and evidently no distinctive program to offer. Their very weakness Invites dissensions among Republicans. Something of the same tendency to break away from the old tradition of "His Majesty's Government and "His Majesty's Opposition" Is noticeable in Gieat Britain. The sitting Parliament is broken into four groups Instead of two. The majority belongs to neither the Liberals nor the Unionists, but to a Hying wedge composed of Iaborites and Irish Nationalists. Asqulth is today governing by the support of the Laborites. and by the haughty condescension of the Nationalists, who agree not to kick him out Immediately. If they should exercise their power to discharge Asqulth, they could not govern themselves, but there would have to be a new election or they would have to support Balfour, who would begin where the Liberals left off and in as great a quandary. The situation is the logical result of the failure of the old parties to do what they have promised. The Liberals have for years had a standing pledge to bring about home rule. They never have honestly tried to do It since 1883. The Unionists have a standing pledge to consolidate the empire, but they never make any progress with it when they are in office. They are ioday on paper pledged to protection, but their ranks are honeycombed w:ith free trade sentiment. They are traditionally supposed to oppose home rule, but they have no other cause for it than an unreasoning prejudice against everything Irish. If they had been wise enough to grant home rule themselves, they could have done it with the acquiescence of the English constituencies, and then gone forward with their schemes of empire. Beth parties have faltered at the brink of their responsibilities with the result that neither to-day has the confidence of the country. Minneapolis Journal. Iliinuon the Innue. The leader of Tammany Hall is at Hot Springs with a .Mayor Gaynor boom. Roger Sullivan is there or thereabouts with a Culberson boom. Democrats are hurryTng from the West and South to talk over these rival candidates of the Democracy for lau. And there is great cackling in Democratic henroosts all around the country in consequence. The presidential Democratic nomination is not what Hancock once called the tariff a local issue. Therefore it is difficult to account for all thii waste of words and wind about the local saplings of Democracy, as it they were real presidential timber. For while all this chatter is going on about merely local celebrities as presidential possibilities the issue that will make the candidate is steadily taking form In Ohio with a man voicing it so clearly that the stirring of his spirit is felt across the nation. The Harmon idea in government as opposed to the Bryan idea historic Democracy as opposed to Social Dejnccrney that is the issue which a real leader if making for the party. If Governor Harmon had not been making himself and his attitude a national issue Mr. Taft, who has plenty of political perception, vquld not have specially exerted himsrlf to take a hand in the Ohio campaign. The Murphys and the Sullivans and Gaynors and Culbersons ought to be able to see the Democratic opportunity preciely where Mr. Taft sees the danger in 1912 namely, in Harmon and in Ohio.

INDUSTRIALISM NEEDED AS TEACHER. By C. Edward Fuller.

Industrial education promises better living, and improved chances of earning a living, through employment in manufacturing industries mostl. for, although the land turns out raw materials from mine, farm and forest, and transportation and commerce relate to both finished and unfinished products, yet complete industrial activity is dependent upon factories in operation, so that it is

A

really tue factory which opens or

modern business. Small, exchangeable traveling exhibits, with simple "descriptive matter, are the elements of a system proposed, such as can be fitted up at light expense by specific industries, as required, to show what each kind of factory needs, and to direct teachers and students alike in.o locally profitable channels, in accord with fashion, demand, expediency. Permanent museums and libraries do much for the intellectual life, but the contention herein is that little exhibits of industrial crude and finished products, which could be passed around from school to school, would do more to fit boys for wage-earning, an this is what industrial education proposes to do for boys. No amount of argument can disprove the facts of evolution which show the dependence of a sound ralnd upon a sound body, and we have accumulated statistics enough during fifty years 'past to prove that healthful, continuous occupation is a means of salvation for young and old, poor or rich. -The world is always tormented with difficulties waiting to be solved," and a list of small improvements and inventions, to eay nothing of the greater ones, needed In American factories would serve to humble the jingo patriot some. MIND AS AN AGENT OF, HEALING. By Robert. M. Gault.

Everybody is interested in the idea that the mind is an agent of healing. Some embrace it, other laugh it to scorn. It has inspired the practice of shameful quackery upon credulous subjects eo that the history of the application of mental influence to healing would be a good account of the credulity of men's minds throughout many centuries. It Is easy enough for a physician to admin

ister medicine in a spoon, or a stimulant through a hy

podermic needle. But how can he dispense the mental influence, of which we are thinking? He must put his' confidence in some fundamental laws which govern the action of the human mind. The law which I want to mention first is that which Is expressed in the tendency of every idea, thought, emo-

MOONSHINE BUTTER. Strange v Industry Costing Uncle Sam Millions oC Dollarn. "Moonshine butter" is making a good deal of trouble for the government in these days, says the Ohio State Journal. The reascn is dimply that there Is a tax of 10 cents a pound on oleomargarine that i3 colored to Imitate butter, whereps on the uncolored article it Is only cne-fourth of a cent a pound. Of course, this offers an invitation to fraud. A man rents a house or a cellar, buys a few hundred barrels of "oleo" from a meat packer, puts it Into a big vat, heats It, adds the requisite amount of "anatto" to give the desired tint, mixes it thoroughly and sells the stuff as "fresh dairy butter." This sort of thing is being done at the present time on a considerable scale in most of the large cities of the East and Middle West. It gives the government more annoyance, ten times over, than all the distilling of illicit whisky. Oleomargarine Is composed of animal fats and cotton seed oil. It is perfectly wholesome and a good deal of It is used for cooking. Instead of butter. Its first cost, at wholesale. Is 10 or 11 cents a pound. All right so far. But when hundreds of tons of it are sold without paying the tax of 10 cents a pound the extra and Illegitimate profit to the "moonshiner" being 9 cents the loss to Uncle Sam is great. In fact, "moonshine butter" is costing the government a great deal more than unlawful whisky. The process of manufacture is much easier and far cheaper than that of "'hisky and the producing plants are often very difficult to locate. Those who conduct them are In many instances desperate characters, and every now and then a revenue officer Is killed in making a raid upon one of the counterfeit butter factories.

than 110,000 over the figures for 19ÖÖ. The German plan is to train each soldier twice for fourteen days while in the reserve and once for fourteen days while in the Landwehr. The

number of reservists recalled during the year for training has risen of late at the rate of 30,000 a year and will continue to rise until the plan is in full operation. Thus there are and hereafter will be more than a million men under arms at one time or another each year. The year 1907 is the last for which complete statistics of recruiting have been published. The recruits examined numbered 1.1S3.S45, among whom there were 532,000 of the age of 20 who were examined for the first time. In all 433,933 were Incorporated in the armed forces, including 212,661 In the active army and 10,374 in the navy. About one-half of the army recruits were 20 and the remainder 21 or 22. There were only two one-hun-dredths of 1-per cent of illiterates. Voluntary engagements numbered 53,900 for the army and 3,839 for the navy. "Germany leads the world in aeronautics' says a writer, "and tha last year has only confirmed her supremacy in the air. Her aerial fleet consists of twelve dirigibles, systems Zeppelin, Parseval and Gross, while there are fifteen other dirigibles in private hands susceptible of being requisitioned. The German plan is to act by methods of registration and subsidy; to prepare, as for t"he navy, the establishments and the means for rapid construction and to aim in particular at increased speed so as to obtain relative independence of the weather. The successful trial of tho Gross III., which made over 37 miles an hour on her trial trip on Dec. 31, is a case in point. "In many other directions there has been steady progress in preparing the army for war. The officers at the war school have been increased from 400 to 4S0. A census of motor carriages has shown that there aro 41,727 of all classes available for requisition, and during the maneuvers of last year great use was made of them and also of motor cyclists, who will probably be formed into special corps. Mobile field kitchens have given good results and will soon be in general use. Wireless stations are being erected at various place?. The latest census of horses shows that Germany possesses 4,345,000 horses of all sorts, Including1 3,500,000 four-year-olds and upward. "It will be with young and highly trained men, aged from 21Jo 27, that the first great blow will to struck In case of war, and all attention has been concentrated upon making the first echelon of the army as perfect as human effort can compass. The record of the last year shows that from almost every point of view the German army "continues to receive constant accessions of material and moral strength."

A great many people cannot hear a vocal solo without themselves incipiently singing with the actual performer. That is why so many people have a tired feeling in the throat after listening for several hours to a chorus. Then again inany a person on the bleachers finds himself preparing to strike the ball when he is especially eager for a three bagger. When we have a pleasurable feeling it .is not our toes but the corners of our mouths that turn up. At the thought of food it is not tears but saliva that begins to flow; it is not perspiration but gastric juice that Is formed in increased quantities. This is a principle that can be absolutely depended upon; every thought and feeling Is expressed by some kind of movment, and appropriate movement at that.

IN ANCIENT CHINA. By Eleanor F. Egan.

The power of the prince regent of China, Tsai Ferg, Is almost, if not quite, as aboslute as was that of the great empress dowager. In a set of laws governing the regency, Issued by the gn.nd secretariat, appears the following: "The ordinances and ceremonies of the regent are of the most august character, and an imperial edict should be requested setting a time and designating officials to

make the announcement at the temple of ancestors. The prince regent, also, should reverently receive his commission and seal before the sacrificial table of the great empress dowager. The government of the nation, military and civil, the dismissal and appointment of officials and their promotion and degradation are all left to the determination and decision of the prince regent." The power of the new empress dowager of China, widow of Kuang Hsu, will probably prove to be a negligible quantity. She is not an empress mother, and could therefore never hope to take the place left vacant by her predecessor, even if she had the pelsonal strength and mentality of that great woman. The only mention that has been made of her since the death of the emperor was in one of the laws governing the regency. In which the regent is given permission to consult with her if he should ever have occasion to do so. But It Is added: "Others shall not arrogate this privilege to themselves and ask instructions of the empress dowager, nor shall they presume to transmit the same on their own authority." This effectually annuls any iower she might have hoped to wield and makec of her a mere relict living out her useless life In the narrow confines of the palace and awaiting her turn to "take the fairy ride and ascnd to the far country."

WHAT IS THE ANSWER ? 1 here Are l'our Iteaaon (or Oppod. tion to Parcels Iot. What is the answer? There isnt any one answer; but the parcels post is one of several answers, Collier's says. Everybody Knows now the old story. When John Wanamaker was postmaster-general, some one asked him why he didn't have a parcels post like every other civilized country? He said there are four reasens: The first is the Wells-Fargo Express Company, the second Is the American Express Company, the third is the Adams Express Company, the fourth is the United States Express Company. Every once in a while our consuls in Europe write to our government telling how the parcels post works in Europe. In Senator Piatt's day (Senator Piatt was once the president of the United States Express Company) he used to have such reports withdrawn fröm the public. Here la a recent one from II. S. Culver, United States consul at Cork, Ireland. This report was printed in the "Rural New Yorker": "Farmers, merchants and manufacturers patronize extensively these means of communication between the markets and the Isolated individual customer. The rates by parcels-post are 6 cent3 for one pound or less, 8 cents from one to two pounds, and 2 cents additional for each pound up to eleven the weight limit of parcels. The length of parcel allowed Is three feet six inches, and the greatest length and girth combined Is six feet. For example, a parcel measuring three feet six inches in its longest dimension may measure two feet six Inches in rirtli. Eggs, fish, meat, fruit, vege.r.bles, glass, crockery, liquids, butter, cheese, etc., may be transported by pc reels-post." If we had the parcels-post in U1I3 country the farmer could ship one or five or ten pounds of butter, or a few dozen eggs, or a peck of potatoes, or a basket of apples, to his Individual customer in the city, and avoid the middleman. Fishermen in the north of Scotland send fresh fish to the London market this way. Also, if we had the parcels-post system in this country, the express companies would quickly reduce their rates and stop paying S00 per cent dividends-

WOMEN SHOULD SWIM,

It la the Onljr Way to Secure a, Per feet l ljsure, a Iloatonlau. That any woman can swim herself Into good if not a perfect figure is the belief of Miss Beatrice Street, instructor in the public swimming tunks at Brookline, the woman who teaches all the children in Brookline to swim, Phoebe Dwight says in tha Boston Traveler. And when I saw what Miss Street had accomplished for herself I did not wonder at her confidence in the wonders her art can work, especially after she told me that she had at one time been blight to the verge of ungainliness. Miss Street, who has the reputation of being one of th most perfectly built women in Massachusetts, Is, not tall five feet a-sa three-quarters In her swimming suit but she has aj figure so perfectly formed and carried, that one is not tne least bit conscious of her shortness. But Miss Street does not believe iq working with the direct object of a good figure. "Swimming gives a worn, an a good figure because it develop her or trims her down into a perfect ly normal or healthy condition." shq explained. "If she's too fat it makes her thinner. If she's too thin it give her muscular development. One should work to be healthy and the good figure will be a natural result." "Nothing In excess," is one of thl athletic young woman's favorite mottoes. "It Isn't good to try to either lose or gain weight too fast," she said. "When a person tells me she has taken off forty or fifty pounds in a year I know she can't be in a very good condition. And in the same way I don't think it pays to put on flesh too rapidly. The -weight you gain slowly Is the good, ealthy weight that vlU stand by you. "Swimming cannot possibly hurt any one, except some one with a very weak heart. Any one can learn to swim and swim well. Long-distance swimming is, of course, a matter of endurance and strength, but any one can learn to swim short distances easily." Is Miss Street's dictum. "Why. when you realize that we have succeeded in teaching even cripples and partially paralyzed people to swim you can see that no ordinary person can have any excuse for not being able to learn to swim well." THE CURE OF NANTERKE. When an old man Is obstinate, he can be very obstinate Indeed. Such was the case with the vicar of Nanterre, M. Delaumosne, who died only Recently at the age of 97, keeping to the last his freshness and the full use p! his faculties to say nothing of his fbstinacy. The cardinal had for a long time been trying to get him to relire, and without success, says Le Figaro. The last attempt was made I y a special ambassador from his eraipence, who was sent with the orders o bring back M. Deloumosne's resignation. ' He was received by the vicar with I he greatest courtesy and asked to stay to share the vicar's modest supper. The visitor accepted, thinking that there would be plenty of time to transnet his business later. The good vicar proposed a walk, before supper. In order to whet the appetite. Together they set out, and poon came to a cemetery, where the vicar lost no. time In exhibiting his tomb, already prepared, with the following Inscription: M. le chanolne Delaumosne Xe en 1812 MortCure de Xanterre le The date of his death, as might be expected, was left blank. The ambassador from the cardinal understood. He supped, and departed as be had come. The vicar was never again asked to resign. M. Delaumosne was, as may be guessed, a really original man. Once, gpeaklng in his church to some pil grims who had come from different parts of the diocese to honor St. Genevieve, he began as follows: "People from Puteaux. from Courbevoie, from Paris, and the other suburbs of Nanterre ." Ills Treasurer Knew. He who goes into politics must re member what he Is recorded to have said, for it is the habit of the sharpnosed public to search out past utterances and hold the candidate responsible for them. John Burns, says Mr. Grubb. in his life of that labor leader, once made the slip of remarking that no man was worth more than five hundred pounds a year. Accordingly, when he became a cabinet member, with a salary of two thousand pounds, he was obviously open to attack. When he first met his constituents at Battersea after he was made president of the Local Government Board, a candid friend recalled the statement about a'man'8 worth by calling out !n the middle of his speech: "Wot abaht that 'ere salary of two thousand pounds?" Mr. Burns was equal to the occasion. "That Is the recognized trade-union rate for the job," was his apt reply. 'If I took less I would be a blackleg. "Wot yer goln ter do with the fif teen hundred pounds over?" pursued the Inquisitive questioner. "For details," answered Mr. Burns, apply to my treasurer, Mrs. Burns." The One Deficiency.

A Calendar Shower. "I'm going to have a fire sale of calendars of 1910," said the woman. "All my friends sent me calendars. Every one of them, and I have a good many. It was worse than the butter dishes I got when I was married, and never any butter to go in them." One of the surprising things in this old world is the ease with which some sinners make money.
