A BURNING ERUPTION FROM
HEAD TO FEET
"IAiur years ago I Buffered severely
with a terrible eczema, being a mass
of Bores from head to feet nnd for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time I suffered continual tor
ture from Itching and burning. After
being given up by my doctor I was ad
vised to try Cutlcura Remedies. After
tho first bath with Cutlcura Soap and
application of Cutlcura Ointment I en
joyed the first good sleep during my
entire illness. I also used Cutlcura
Resolvent and tho treatment was con
tinued for about three weeks. At the
end of that time I was able to bo
about the house, entirely cured, nnd
have felt no 111 effects since. I would
adviso any person suffering from any
form of skin trouble to try tho Cutl
cura Remedies as I know what they
did for me. Mrs. Kdward Nenning,

A WOMAN DOCTOR
Was Quick to See that Coffee was
Doing the Mischief.
A lady tells of a bad caso of coffeo
poisoning nnd tells it In a way so sim
ple und straightforward that literary
skill could not improve It.
"I had neuralgic headaches for 12
years," sho says, "and suffered untold
agony. When I first began to have
them I weighed 140 pounds, but they
brought mo down to 110. I went
to many doctors and they gave mo
only temporary relief. So I sufrored
on, till one day a woman doctor told
mo to uso I'ostum. Sho said I looked
llko I was coffeo poisoned.
"So I began to drink Postuni and I
gained 15 pounds lu tho llrst low
weeks and continued to gain, but not
so fast ns at flrst. My headaches be
gan to leave mo after I had used
I'ostum about two weeks long
enough to got tho coffeo poison out of
my system.
"Since I began to uso I'ostum I can
gladly say that I never know what a
neuralgic headncho Is llko any moro.
and It was nothing but I'ostum that
mado mo well, llcforo I used Postum
I never went out alono; I would get
bowlldered nnd would not know which

"Kor thin ptirpoHo I recommend the es
tabllnlinient of a court of tlio United
mates composed of live Judges ilesiK
nated for sueli purpose from auinnK the
circuit JuiIkch of the t'nlted States, to
bo known as tho 'United Hlutes court
of commerce,' which court shall bo
clothed with oxeltmivn orlKlnal JnrJsi11i
tlon over the follow ItiK classes or cases:
"(1) All cases for the enforcement, oth
erwise than by ajudleatlon and collec
tion, of a furfulturo or penalty, or by In
fliction of criminal punishment, of any
order of tho Intel .stale i ommeree cotn
mlsslon other tlmu for tho payment of

"(2) All cases brought to enjoin, set
aside, annul or suspend any order or
tequlremeiit of the Interstate lommercu
commission.
"(3) All such cases ns under section "
of tlio net of Kcbniury l!, 1IWKI, known
as tho 'l'.lldns act,' are uuthutlzcd to be
tiuilntnlneil In a circuit court of the Uni
ted States.
"(4) All such mandamus proceedltiKS ns
under the piovlslons of section 13) or sec
tion Zt of the Interstate conimerco law
arc authorized to be maintained In a cir
cuit court of the United States.
"Iteiisons preelholy analogous to those
which induced the cotiKress to create the
court of customs appeals by tho provi
sions In the tariff act of August r, 1MD,
tnay bo uiBeil In support of tho creation
of tlio commerce coutt.
"In order to provide n sufficient num
ber nf Judges to enable this court to bo
constituted It will Im necessary to author
tzo the appointment or live ndilltlonal
circuit JudKcs, who, for the purposes of
appointment, 'might lie illstilbuted to
those circuits where there Is at the pres
ent time tho luiKcst volume of business
such ns the fiocoml. third, fourth, seventh
and eighth cliciilts. Tlio act should cm
power the chief Justice at any tlnm when
the business of the court of commerco
does not requite the services of all the
Judges to leasslgu the Judges designated
to that court to the circuits to which
they lespectlvely belong; and It should
also provide for payment to such Judges
whllo sitting bv assignment lu Die court
of commerce of such additional amount
as Is necessary to bring their annual
compensation up to J10.000.
Only Second to Supreme Court.
"Tho regular pensions nf such court
should bo livid at tho capttol, but it
should bo empowered to hold sessions lu
illfTorent parts of the United States If
found desirable; and Its unlets and Judg
ments should bo made final, subject only
to review by the supremo com t of tlio
United States, with tho provision that
the operation of the decree appealed from
shall not lie stayed unless the supremo
court shall so order. Tlio commerce court
should bo empowered In Its discretion to
restrain or suspend tho operation of all
order of the Interstate commeice commis
sion under review pending thy llnal hear
ing and determination of tho proceeding,
but no such restraining older should bo
mado except upon notice and afetr hear
ing, unless In cases whero Iriep'irnbln
damage would otherwise ensuo to the pe
titioner. A Judge of that court might
be empowered to allow a stay of tho
commission's order for a period of not
more than CQ days, but ponding applica
tion to tho court of Its order or Injunc
tion, then only whero his order slinll con
tnln it specllle Uniting based imoii evi
dence (lubmltted to tint Judge making tho
order and Idontllled by roferimco thereto
thnt sia h Irreparable ilanmgo would re

"Under the existing law the Interstntn
commercii commission itself Initiates and
defends litigation lu the courts for tin
enforcement, or In the defense of Its or
ders and decrees, and for this purpose It
employs attorneys, who, while subject to
tho control of tho attorney general, act
upon tho Initiative and under the Instruc
tions of the commission. This blending
of administrative, legislative and Judi
cial functions tends. In my opinion, to
impair the etllclency of tho commission
by clothing It with partisan characteris
tics and robbing It of the Impartial Judi
cial attitude it should occupy In pass
ing upon questions submitted to It. In
my opinion all litigation affecting tlio
Kovoriiment should bo under tlio direct
control of the depot tmeut of Justice; and
I therefoio recommend that all proceed
ings affecting orders and decrees of the
Interstate commerce commission be
brought by or against tlio United Stntes
eo nomine, and bo placed In charge of an
assistant attorney general acting under
tho direction of tho attorney general."
Vould Permit Agreements.
Coming to tho subject of railroad pools

guvs:
The Republican platform of IMS op
pressed the belief that tho Interstate

Control of the Trusts.
Tho second part of the message Is de
voted to the control of trusts. Alter a
lengthy discussion of tt lists, good and
bad, and the success of piusecutlous un
der tho Sherman anll-tiust act, Mr. Tuft
savs:
"It la tlie duty and purpose of the exec
utive to direct un Investigation by the de
partment of Justice, tliioiigh the grand
jury or otherwise. Into the history, organ
izntlon. und purposes of all the Industrial
companies with respect to which there Is
any reasonable ground for suspicion that
they have been organized for a purpose,
and are conducting business on a plan
which Is lu dilution of the iiutl-trust
law. Tho woik Is a heavy one, but It
Is not beyond the power of tho depart
ment of Justice, if sutllcleiit Hinds are
furnished, to carry on the investigations
and to pay tlie coiiiihiI engaged in the
work. Hut such an investigation and
possible prosecution of corporations whoso
prosperity or tlestiucllon affects tho com
fort not only of stockholders but millions
of wage earners, employes, and associated
tradesmen must necessarily tend to ills
tuili the conlldeiiie of tlio business com
munity, to dry up the. now Mowing souiccs
of capital f i am Its plates of hoarding, and
produce a halt In our pteseut prosperity
that will cause suffering and strained ill -cuuiHtnnccH
among the Innocent many lor
faults of the guilty few. Tho question
which I wish in this message to bilng
clearly to tho consideration and decision
of the congress whether to avoid business
danger something cannot be done by
which these business combinations may
bo offered a means, without great finan
cial disturbance, of i hanging the char
acter, organization and etent of their
business Into one within the Hues of the
law under federal control and supervision,
securing coinpllauco with the anti-trust
statutes.
For Government Control.
"rienerally, lu the Industrial combina
tions called 'trusts,' the principal busi
ness Is the snle of goods In many states
and In foreign markets; lu other words,
the Interstate und foreign business far
exceeds the business done lu any one
state. This fact will Justify the fed
eral government in granting a federal
charter to such a combination to make
and sell In Interstate and foreign com
merce the products of useful manufac
ture itndrr such limitations as will se
cure a compliance with the anti-trust
law. It is possible so to fiamo a statute
that whllo It offers protection to a fed
eral company against harmful, vexatious
and unnecessary Invasion by tlie states.
It shall subject It to reasonable taxation
and control by the states, with respect to
Its purely local business.
"Many people conducting great busi
nesses havo chcilshcd u hope and a be
lief thnt lu some way or other a line
may be drawn between 'good trusts' and
'bad trusts,' und that It Is possible by
amendment to the anti-trust law to mnke
a distinction under which good combina
tions may be permitted to organize, sup
press competition, coutiol prices, and do
it all legally If only they do not abuse
tho power by taking too great pinilt out
of tlio business. Thev point with foico to
certain notoiloiis trusts as having mown
Into power through criminal methods by
the use of Illegal i chutes and plain (heat
ing, and by various acts utterly violative
of business honesty or morality, and urge
the establishment of some legal line of
separation by whh li 'ctliulual trusts' of
this I' I nil can be punished, and they, on
tho other hand, be permitted under tho
law to carry on their business. Now.
tlie public, und especially tho business
public, ought to rid thcmRclvcH or tho
Idea that such a distinction Is practic

it Is not the Intention of Hid government

"Second Tliete nre those who doubt tlio
constitutionality of such federal Incorpor
ation. The regulation of Interstate and
foielgn coiiuni'iee Is certainly confeneil
in tlie fullest measure upon congress, and
If for the purpose of scenting lu the must
thotoiigh manner that kind of regulation,
congress shall Insist that It may provide
and authorls'e agencies to carry on that
commeice. It would seem to be within Its
power, tills has been distinctly alllrmed
with icspcct to railroad companies doing
an luteistate hhslucss and Interstate

Why, then, with respiet to any other
foi m of Interstate commeice like the Mile
of goods ui'ioss state boundaries and into
foielgn coiuitrhs, may tlie same power
not be asserted? indeed. It Is the very
fact that they carry oa Interstate com
meico thnt makes these gieut inihistiial
concerns subjut to federal prosecution
and control. How far as Incidental to
the carrying on of that commerce It may
be within tiie power or the federal gov
ernment to autfioilxe the manufacturer ot

of the New Kingdom. Vs. 11-1(5; Isa.
!i: 1, U. Spoken by ICsalas, Creek for
Isaiah, Cod's message through the
prophet, (hut. 9: 1, 1!.) The territory
spoken of, the tribes of ".obultin,"
and "Naphtall," were the northern
most tribes, (15) "by the way of the
sea," or toward the Sea of Calllee,
where Hie great eastern roads entered
the country "beyond .Ionian, Calllee
of the Cent lies," the portions of Call
lee adjoining the heathen nations.
12 Preaching the Cospel. A Char
acteristic of Jesus' Work Throughout
Ills Ministry. V. 17. .lesus began to
let this new light shine, and to prove
that he was the one foretold by the
prophet.
"Hegan to preach," proclaim ns the
herald of the king, who had sent him.
He preached In every possible method
by which he could reach the hearts
of men.
III. Selerting and Training Work
ers. The Calling or Hie Four. Vs. 18
122. Jesus now made another advance
in his plan of selecting and training
men to enlarge his present work, nnd
to prepare for Its continuance nnd the.
extension of Ills gospel after his
death. It was "a school of Instruc
tion In his ideal of righteousness."
Simon, who is "called Peter," tho
Itock, so named by Jesus on his first
actpialnlnnce (John 1: -lii) ns a iroph
ecy and Ideal, a call upward to fulfil
Hie possibilities within him. "And
Andrew Ids brother," who had shown
his possibilities as a fisher of men, by
bringing Ills brother to Jesus. "Cast
ing a net Into the sea." Matthew gives
a condensed account of the story told
lu full by Luke. Jesus used one of
their boats as a pulpit to preach to the
people on the shore. He showed the
llshermen that the boat was of valuu,
although they had llahod from It all
night In vain. Then at his command
they let down their nets and enclosed
a great number of fishes. It wns with
great wisdom that at thltt point when
they were marveling at their success,
Jesus (19) "salth unto them, Follow
me, nnd I will mnko you fishers of
men." Their partners, James nnd
John, who had been summoned to nld
Peter, were not far away.
21. "doing on from thence, he saw"
theso "other two brethren" In their
boat "with Zebedee their father, mend
ing their nets" which had been torn by
the grent catch of fish. "And he called
them." All four left their nets, nnd
followed Jesus, nnd becamo Ushers
of men.
IV. Oolng About Doing Cood to tho
UodliiB and Souls of Men. Vs. 2a-2fi.
Theso verses are a Biimmary of which
chapters 5-9 give a detailed account
showing his "varied, extensive, and
rar-fnmed work." 211. "And Jesus went
about all Galilee." TIiIb was his first
tour of the country. Jesus scattered
the good seed everywhere, knowing
that Home of It would fall Into tho
good soil of honest hearts and spring
up and boar fruit.
21. "And his fame" tho "report" of
what Jesus was doing. Tho result was
that from till Ihe region, Including
Hyrln, the country to tho not tit of Call
lee, "they brought unto him all sick
people that wero taken with divers dis
eases," such us fevers, leprosy, blind
ness, lameness, dropsy, and torments,
diseases attended with oxcruclatlug

During a recent slight Illness tho

flatly and obstinately refused to tako
his medicine. After a somewhat pro
longed and Ineffectual argument with
him, his mother at last set the glass
of medicine down, leaned her head on
her hands and "played' that sho wan
crying.
A moment passed, and the tender
hearted Teddy, unable longer to bear
tlie sight of his mother's stricken atti
tude, Inquired, "What's lite matter,
mother, dear?"
Without removing her hands from
her eyes, she replied; "I'm grieved
that my son won't take his castor oil
for me."
Whereupon Teddy sat up In bed and
offered consolingly: "Oh, I wouldn't
feel badly If I wero you, mother, dear.
