A PLAGEJ BENCH
CHANCELLOR OF NEW JERSEY

APPOINTMENT ALMOST SURE
Thirty Years As a Jurist, Six Years
Under the Age Fixed for Po
sition by the President.
I
Washington.—Mahlon Pitney, chan
cellor of the state of New Jersey,
member of congress for two terms,
a lawyer and jurist of thirty years'
practice, looms up as the man whom
President Taft will appoint to the
supreme court bench to succeed the
late Associate Justice John M. Har
lan. Among friends of the president
it was reported as practically certain
that Chancellor Pitney would be ap
pointed, and the nomination, accord
ing to excellent authority, will be
sent to the senate Monday or Tues
day.
So far the president is understood
not to have discussed the appoint
ment of Chancellor Pitney with all
his cabinet. No special meet ing of
the cabinet has been called tonight,
but it is possible that members of
President Taft s official family will
be told his choice tomorrow.

been under consideration by the
president for several weeks. Follow
ing protests against Secretary Nagel,

yond the Mississippi river, where h?
first looked for a candidate. Chan
cellor Pitney and F. J. Swayze, jus
tice for the supreme court of New
Jersey, were two men who gradually
became most prominent in the presi
dent's mind.
Chancellor Pitney meets many of
the president's requirements for a su- j
preme court justice. He is just a
little more than 54 years old. six |
years under Mr. Taft’s age limit, and (
has been a practicing lawyer and a j
judge since 18S2. He served as as
sociate justice of the New Jersev
supreme court from 1901 to 1908 ana
became chancellor in the latter year.
His term would expire in 1915. His
home is in Morristown.

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA
“While attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, I became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years, when the affliction assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being inflamed
most of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch it
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost un
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part of my
face would be a solid sore. This con
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, so much so
that my wife became alarmed lest it
prove fatal.
“During all this time of boils and
eczema, I doctored with the best phy
sicians of this part of the country, but
to no avail. Finally I decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which I did, tak
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In a very short time I began to
notice improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until I was
well again, and have not had a re
currence of the trouble since, which is
over twenty years. I have recom
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since, and hare great faith in
them as remedies for skin diseases."

Waste Paper in Paris.
Paris police give strict attention to
the act against throwing waste papers
and refuse upon the streets. An ab
sent-minded old gentleman carelessly
dropped a hundred-franc note from
his waistcoat pocket, whereupon a
sharp-eyed policeman requested the
old gentleman to give him his name
and address or submit to arrest. But
when the offender reached into the
gutter and picked up the waste paper
and opened it before the policeman's
eyes he was let oft with an apology
and a profound bow.
Among the Ancients.
Democritus had just announced the
theory that the visible universe is
merely the result of the fortuitous
concourse of atoms.
“Subject, of course.” he said, "to the
approval of Mr. Gompers.”
For he did not wish to be drawn
into a magazine controversy over it.

FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST
To the head of every family the
health of its different members is
most important, and the value of an
agreeable laxative that is certain in
its effect is appreciated. One of the
most popular remedies in the family
medicine chest is a combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
is known to druggists and physicians
as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
preparation is mild and gentle in its
action on the bowels, yet positive in
its effect. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at
night means relief next morning,
while its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles of stomach,
liver and bowels so that these organs
are able in a short time to again per
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere sell Dr. Cald
well’s Syrup Pepsin in 50c and $1.00
bottles. If you have never tried this
simple, inexpensive, yet effective
remedy, write to Dr. W. B. Caldwell,
201 Washington St.. Montieello, 111.,
and ask for a sample bottle. Dr. Cald
well will be glad to. send it without
any expense to you whatever.
Ladies’ Diplomat.
Miss Lillian Russell, more beautiful
than ever, was serving tea at the Pro

the Waldorf-Astoria. A member of
the Spanish legation passed with two
charming girls, and Miss Russell said:
“X'o wonder that young man is so
popular with the ladies. He is a la
dies' diplomat.”
“How a ladies' diplomat?” a com
poser asked.
“Well,” explained Miss Russell, "he
is the sort of chap who always remem
bers a woman's birthday and forgets
her age.”
Newspaper Is the Medium.
“The importance of this whole ques
tion of publicity to the consumer is
growing on the manufacturer. He
sees his competitor or some man in
another line turning the trick of pub
licity and he sit up and thinks. He is
gradually realizing that, localized,
crystalized publicity in the home is
what pays best and that he can only
get that through the newspaper.”—
