Ho could neither sit still nor Ho quietly in bed , for the itching was dreadful. Ho would irritate spots by scratching with his nails and that only made them worse. A doctor treated him nnd we tried almost everything , but the eczema ucomed to spread. It Btnrted in a small place on the lower extremities nnd spread for two ycnrs until it very nearly covered the back pnrt of his leg to the knee. "Finally I got Cuticura Soap , Cutl- cura Ointment nnd Cuticura Pills nnd nave them according to directions. I used them in the morning and that evening , before I put my boy to bed , I used them ngaln nnd the Improve ment oven In those few hours was sur prising , the inflammation seemed to bo so much less. I used two boxes of Cuticura Ointment , the same of the Pills and the Soap and my boy was cured. My son is now In his sev enteenth year and he has never had n return of the eczema. "I took care of a friend's child that had eczema on its face nnd limbs nnd I used the Cuticura Soap nnd Ointment They acted on the child Just na they did on my son nnd It has never re turned. I would recommend the Cuti cura Remedies to anyone. Mrs. A. J. Cochrnn , 1823 Columbia Ave. , Phila delphia , Pa. , Oct. 20,1909.

MAN'SDEADLYWORK LONQ LIST OF LIVING CREATURES WIPED OUT , Greed In Many Case's nnd In Others Simply the Dcslro to Kill Has Dcen Responsible for the Slaughter. Sir liny Lnnhostor writes of the enormous number of living creatures \vlilch man has destroyed Blnco ho first appeared on earth : "Even In pre historic times It Is probable that man l > y hunting the mammoth the great miry elephant assisted In its extinc tion , If ho did not actually bring It about. At n remote prehistoric period the horses of various kinds which tbotindcd In North and South America rapidly and suddenly became extinct. It has been suggested , with some show of probability , that a previously un- mown epidemic disease duo to a para sitic organism such as those which wo now BOO ravaging the herds of South Africa found Ita way to the American continent. And It Is quite lOHslblo that this was brought from the other hemisphere by the first men who crossed the Pacific and populated North America. "To como to matters of certainty nnd not of speculation , wo know that nan by clearing the land , as well as by actively hunting and killing It , made in end of the great wild ox of Europe , the aurochs or urus of Caesar , the last of which was killed near Warsaw In LC27. Ho similarly destroyed the bison , first In Europe and then ( In our own days ) In North America. A fey/ hun dred , carefully guarded , are all that remain In the two continents. Ho has very nearly made nn end of the elk In I3uropo , and will soon do so completely in America. The wolf and the beaver were destroyed In these British Islands nbout 400 years ago. They are rapid ly disappearing from Franco , and will soon bo exterminated In Scandinavia nnd Ilussln and In Canada. "At n remote prehistoric period the bear waa exterminated by man In lirltnln and the lion driven from the wholeof Europe , except Macedonia , whore It still nourished In the days of mo ancient Greeks. It was common In Asia Minor a few centuries ago. The giraffe nnd the elephant have departed from South Africa before the encroach ments of civilized man. The day Is not distant when they will cense to exist In the wild stnto In any pnrt of Africa. And with them nro vanishing many splendid antelope. "Even our 'nearest and dearest * rela tives In the nnlmnl world , the gorllln , the chimpanzee nnd the ourang , nro doomed. Now that man 1ms learned to defy malaria and other fevers , the tropical forest will bo occupied by the greedy civilized hordeof humanity , and there will bo no room for the most Jnterestlng nnd wonderful of nil ani mals , the man-like apes , unless ( as wo may hope In their case , nt any rate ) such living monuments of human his tory are made sacred and treated with greater care thnn are our ancient monuments In stouo. " Up-to-Date Burglary. Burglars broke In to a Philadelphia residence. The Sleeping family remained un conscious of their presence. Nobody know how long the maraud- era remained In the rooms below. There- was much silverware lying on the masslvo sideboard. There were bowls nnd pitchers nnd platters and countless spoons nnd it was all real stuff. Did the burglars take this silver ? Did they make a huge package of the precious material and slip awny with It over the back fence ? No , they did not. They took the fragments of a cold turkey , nnd the remains of a boiled ham , nnd a dish of baked beans , and n box of biscuits , nnd a chunk of do mestic cheese , nnd n can of olives. They know what they wanted. They were familiar with market quotations. They took the real stuff of the stufllest kind. Moral : Never mind the silver- lock up the food. Cleveland Plalc Dealer. Swindle with Trees. "Up In Putnam county , " said Rev , Charles A. ABhmoad , assistant rector of St. Andrew's Memorial church , Yonkers , N.

Well , It seems that he bought a ploco of land largely because of the voung nnd beautiful shade trees elmq and maples with which it was adorned. " "Intended to build at homo there , probably. " "That was his plan , but soon nfter ho had paid the money and the land operator had disappeared the buyer noticed that all the trees were dying. Investigation revealed the fact that the presumably thrifty saplings had no roots. They had boon cut down in n forest , their trunks pointed with nn nx and merely stuck upright in the ground. Of course they died , nnd also of course the buyer was swindled. ' ' Following Instructions. Wealthy Quest Have you a small room I may rent ?

A Drama on the Street. A romarknblo coincidence occurred nt San Bernardino , Cal. , one day late- y , whereby a couple about to bo di vorced were happily brought together ngaln. Mrs. Walter Preston was on ler way to the court to secure n divorce vorce- against her husband when her ittlo daughter darted In the path of an onrushing motor car. The moth er's screams attracted the nttention of n man who dashed in front of the nnchlne , seized the little girl nnd cnped to safety ns the nutomobllo shot by. The rescuer proved to bo the uisband and father. Explanations were soon made , nnd the two made their way to the attorney's office , where Mrs. Preston tore up the di vorce complaint. It would certainly bo fair for the company to do these things if lawful for the Labor Trust to do them. > In such a case , under our laws the boycotted union could apply to our courts and the courts would order the company to cease boycotting and trying to ruin these union men. Sup pose thereupon the company should sneer at the court and In open defiance continue the unlawful acts in a per sistent , carefully laid out plan , pur posely intended to ruin the union nnd force Its members Into poverty What a howl would go up from the union demanding that the courts pro tect them nnd punish their lawbreaking ing oppressors. Then they would pralso the courts and go on earning a living protected from ruin and happy In the knowledge that the people's courts could defend them. How could any of us receive protec tion from law-breakers unless the courts have power to , and do punish such men ? The court Is placed In position where It must do one thing or the other- punish men who persist In defying Its peace orders or go out of service , let anarchy reign , and the more powerful destroy the weaker. Peaceful citizens sustain the courts ns their defenders , whereas thieves , forgers , burglars , crooks of all kinds nnd violent members of labor unions , hate them nnd threaten violence if their members are punished for break ing the law. They want the courts to lot them go free and at the same time demand punishment for other men "out- aide de union" when they break the law. * * Notice the above refer ence to "violent" members of labor unions.

The noisy , violent ones get Into office and the leaders of the great Labor Trust know how to mass this kind of men , in labor con ventions and thus carry out the lead ers' schemes , frequently abhorrent to the rank and file : so It was at the late Toronto convention. The paid delegates would applaud and "resolute" as dampers wanted , but now and then some of the real workingmen - ingmen Insist on being heard , some times at the risk of their lives. Delegate Egan is reported to have said at the Toronto convention : "If the officers of the federation would only adhere to the law wo would think a lot more of them. " The Grand Council of the Provincial Workingmen's Ass'n of Canada has declared In favor of severing all con nections with unions In the U. S. , say ing "any union having Its seat of Gov't In America , nnd pretending to bo international in Its scope , must fight indubtrlal battles according to Ameri can methods. Said methods have con sequences which are abhorrent to the law-abiding people of Canada Involving hunger , misery , riot , bloodshed nnd murderallot which might bo termed ns a result of the practical wnx % now in progress In our fair provinces and directed by foreign emissaries of the United Miners of America. " That is nn honest Canadian view of our infamous "Labor Trust" A few days ago the dally papers printed the following : ( By the Associated Press. ) ) Washington , D. C. , Nov. 10. Char acterizing the attitude of Samuel Com- pors , John Mitchell nnd Frank Mor risen of the American Federation of Labor In the contempt proceedings In the courts of the District of Columbia , in connection with the Bucks' Stove and range company , as "a willful , pre meditated violation of the law , " Simon Burns , general master workman of the general assembly , Knights of Labor , has voiced a severe condemnation of those three leaders. Mr. Burns ex pressed his confidence In courts in general - oral nnd in those of the District of Columbia in particular. AiTnovnn BY DELEGATES. This rebuke by Burns was In his an nual report to the general assembly of his organization. He received the hearty approval of the delegates who hoard It read at their annual mooting In this city.

Some people swell np on "emotion" brewed from absolute untruth. It's nn old trick of the leaders of the Labor Trust to twist facts and make the "sympathetic ones" "weep at the Ice house. " ( That's part of the tale further on. ) Gompers et al sneer at , spit upon nnd defy our courts , seeking sympathy by falsely tolling the people the courts were trying to deprive thorn of free speech and free press. Men can speak freely and print opin ions freely in this country nnd no court will object , but they cannot bo allowed to print matter as part of a criminal conspiracy to injure and ruin other citizens. Gompers nnd his trust nssoclates Btnrted out to ruin the Bucks Steve Co. , drlvo Us hundreds of workmen out of work and destroy the value of the plnnt without regard to the fact that hard enrned money of men who worked , had been invested there. The conspirators were told by the courts to stop these vicious "trust" methods , ( efforts to break the firm that won't como under trust rule ) , but Instead of stopping they "dare" the courts to punish them and demand now laws to protect them In such de structive nnd tyrnnnical acts as they may desire to do. * * * The reason Gompors and his band persisted in try ing to ruin the Bucks Steve Works was because the stove company insist ed on the right to keep some old em ployees nt work when "do union" or dered them dlschnrged and some of "do gang" put on. Now let us reverse the conditions and have a look. Suppose the company had ordered the union to dismiss certain men from their union , nnd , the demand being re fused , should institute n boycott against that union , publish its name In an "unfair list , " instruct other man ufacturers all over the United Stntes not to buy the labor of that union , have committees call at stores and threaten to boycott If the merchants sold anything made by that union. Picket the factories whore members work nnd slug them on the wny homo , blow up their houses nnd wreck the works , and even murder a few mem bers of the boycotted union to teach tuem they must obey the orders of "organized Capital ? " , , , "There is no trust or combination of capital In the world , " said Mr. Burns , "that violates laws oftener than do the trust labor organizations , which resort to more dishonest , unfair nnd dishon orable methods toward their competi tors than any trust or combinations in the country. " Mr. Burns said the action of "these so-called leaders" would bo harmful for years to como whenever attempts were made to obtain labor legislation. "Tho Labor Digest , " a reputable worklngman's paper , says , as part of an article entitled "Tho beginning of the end of Gomperslsm , many organ izations becoming tired of the rule-or- ruln policies which have been en forced by the president of the A. F. of L. " "That ho has maintained his leader ship for BO long n time In the face of his stubborn clinging to policies which the more thoughtful workingmen have seen for years must bo abandoned , has been on account partly of the senti mental feeling on the part of the or ganizations that ho ought not to bo de posed , nnd the unwillingness of the men who were mentioned for the plnco , to nccopt a nomination in opposition to him. In addition to this , there Is no denying the shrewdness of the leader of the A. F. of L. , and his political sa gacity , which has enabled him to keep n firm grip on the machinery of the or ganization , nnd to have his faithful henchmen In the positions where ihey could do him the most good whenever their services might bo needed. "Further than this , ho has never failed , at the last conventions , to have some sensation to spring on the con vention at the psychological moment , which would place him In the light of a martyr to the cause of unionism , and excite a wave of sympathetic enthusi asm for him , which would carry the delegates off their feet , and result In his re-election. "That his long leadership , nnd thid apparent Impossibility to fill his place has gone to his head , and made him imagine that he is much greater a mnn than ho really is , Is undoubtedly the case , and accounts for the tactics ho has adopted in dealing with questions before congress , where he has unneces sarily antagonized men to whom or ganized labor must look for recogni tion of their demands , and where labor measures are often opposed on account of this very antagonism , which would otherwise receive support. "There is no doubt but what organ ized labor In this country would be much stronger with a leader who was more in touch with conditions as they actually exist , and who would bring to the front the new policies which organ ized labor must adopt if It expects to even maintain its present standing , to say nothing of making future progress. " Wo quote portions of another article , a reprint , from the same labor paper : "Organized labor , through its lead ers , must recognize the mistakes of the past if they expect to perpetuate their organizations or to develop the move ment which they head. No movement , no organization , no nation can develop beyond the Intellects which guide these organizations , and if the leaders are dominated by a selfish motive the organization will become tinged with a spirit of selfishness , which has never appealed to mankind in any walk of life at any tlmo since history began. "It can be said in extenuation of cer tain leaders of organized labor that the precarious position which they oc cupy ns leaders has had a tendency to cause them to lose sight of the object behind the organization. The natural Instinct in man for power and position is in no small measure responsible for the mistakes of the leaders , not neces sarily in labor unions alone , but in every branch of society. This desire for power and leadership nnd personal aggrandizement causes men who have been earnest and sincere in their ef forts in the start to deteriorate into mere politicians whoso every act and utterance Is tinged with the desire to cater to the baser passions of the working majority in the societies or organizations and this is undoubtedly true when npplled to tuo present lead ers of the Federation of Labor. Wo mention the Federation of Labor par ticularly In this article , because that organization is the only organization of labor which has yet found Itself In direct opposition to the laws of the land. There nro other organizations of labor whoso leaders have made mis takes , but they have always kept them selves and their organizations within the bounds of the law and respected the rights of every other man in con sidering the rights of themselves and their constituency ; whereas , the motto of the Federation Is just the reverse , and unless the leaders conform them selves and their organization in accord ance with the laws of the land , the leaders nnd the organization itself must be disintegrated nnd pass into history , for In America the common sense of mankind is developed to n greater extent thnn In any other nation on the earth , and the people , who nro the court of last resort in this country , will never allow any system to develop In this country which does not meet with the approval of the majority of the citizens of the country. "This must have forced itself upon the leaders of the Federation by this time. If it has not , the leaders must bo eliminated. The organization which they head has done many meritorious things in times past and the people are always ready and willing to acknowl edge the benefits which their efforts have brought to their constituency ns a whole , but nt the present time labor organlzntlons in general , and the Fed eration of Labor in particular , stand before the bar of public opinion , hav ing been convicted of selfishness and n disposition to rule all the people of the country In the Interest of the few.

If you have any surplus sympathy it can be extended to the honest workers who continue to earn food when threat ened nnd nro frequently hurt and sometimes killed before the courts can intervene to protect them. Now the Labor Trust leaders de mand -Congress that the courts bo stripped of power to issue injunctions to prevent them from assaulting or per haps murdering men who dare earn a living when ordered by the Labor Trust to quit work.
