Which had Spread Over Face, Body
and Arms Swellings were as
Large as a Oollar When they
Broke, Sores would Not Heal
Suffered 3 Years.
MADE SOUND AND WELL
BY 3 SETS OF CUTICURA
"My trouble began about three years
ago with little black swellings scattered
over my face and neck. They would
' disappear but they would leave little
black scars that would itch at times so
I oouldn't keep from scratching them,
Larger swellings would appear in the
same place and they were so painful I
could hardly bear it and my clothes
would stick to the sores. The first
. doctor I went to said the disease was
scrofula, but the trouble only sot worse
and spread. By this time It waa all over
my arms and the upper part ot my
body in big swellings as large as a dollar.
It was so painful that I oould not bear
to lie on my back at night. The soon
doctor pronounced my disease inflam
ligation of the lymphatic glands. He
Slopped the swellings, but when they
would break the places would not heal,
lie tried everything that ha could but
to no effect. He said I might be cured
but it would take a long time. I bought
a set of the Cuticura Remedies and used
them according to directions and in less
than a week some of the places were
nearly well. I continued with the Cuti
cura Remedies until I had used three
sets, and now I am sound and well.
The disease lasted three years front the
time it commenced until I waa cured.
Before Christmas something broke out
on my seven year old brother's hands
In the form of targe sores. I tried every
thing I could think of but to no effect
until I happened to think of Cuticura
. and one application cured him. Also,
not long ago, pay sister got a bad bum
' on her ankle, t have been using Cuti
cura on that and it gave her scarcely
any trouble. O. L. Wilson, Puryeer,
Tenn.. Feb. S, 1808."

Many hundred cltlsens of South Omaha
visited the different cemeteries of the city
yesterday In honor of the dead. Thej-e-membrance
was not alone to the old sol
diers, but very few graves were forgotten
in the tokens of affectionate remembrance.
The regular Memorial day ritual was ob
served by the Grand Army of the lie
public. The order marched to Laurel Hill
cemetery at 2 p. m. and held exercises
above the grave of the late F. J. Etter.
Musical numbers were rendered by a quar
tet consisting of J. C. Carley, I. A. Kel
logg, F. A. Brown " and C. E. Campb-ill.
The selections were: 'Oh, My America,"
"Soldier, Rest," and "America."'
After, the ritual In honor of the known
dead was finished. Dr. R. I Wheeler made
a short address on the significance of the
occasion. He said he was Just old enough
to remember well the war times, but Just
a little too young to be a soldier. Never
theless, he was intensely Interested In the
events of the war and, being a spectator,
he thought his chance of knowing public
sentiment was better than some In the
thick of battle. The doctor gave one of two
reminiscences .and passed Into a eulogy
of the heroes of the great war. He said
he had sometimes doubted whether the
blood of the present generation was at
strong and vigorous as In those days of the
pioneers of human liberty. He feared the
younger generation had cetisedto revere
the traditions of our country. But when
the Spanish-American war broke out und
the whole people renponded so nobly to the
demands of duty, he was led to bellev
that the nation was eminently safe, both
from Invasion or Insult. He dwelt for some
time on the magnitude of that stupendous
war in the sixties. What was called a lit
tle frolic, a sixty days' maneuver, swelled
to scores of campafgns through nearly 'lve
years of conflict and required the services
of over 2,700,000 men of the north. No one
could tell of the sacraflces of the south
during those awful years.
He delivered a peroration of praise to
the great generals of the war and their
Immortal leader, and remembered as well
the humble heroes of Cold Harbor, Get
tysburg, Shlloh, Castle Thunder, Belie Isle
and Andersonvllle. The doctor did not
forget to mention the thousands of un
known dead sleeping from the scintillat
ing Shenandoah valley to the mossy cy
Dress of the Susquehanna.
After the address the Women's Relief
Corps took charge and presented the rit
ualistic honors to these unknown dead.
The women Introduced the service with the
favorite hymn, "Nearer My God to Thee.
After the graves of the soldiers In Lau
rel Hill had been remembered by the sur
viving comrades, a detail went to St.
Mnrv'a cemetery and performed a like
mission there. The other cemeteries In
the vlclnltv of South Omaha were also
remembered.

On the 2th day of April, 1908, The Mid
neat Life Insurance Company, ot Lincoln,
Nebraska was authorised by the Insurance
Department of this slate to do a general
life insurance business on the level prem
ium, legal reserve plan. The stockholders
are Nebraska people, associated together
to insure Nebraska people, and thereby to
keep within Nebraska the premiums pa)d
for their Insurance. The business methods
of the Midwest Life are clean. It sells and
always has sold life Insurance as life In
surance. The recent rulings of the Nebraska In
surance department, through the auditor
of public accounts, the Hon. S. R. Barton,
did not affect The Midland Life In the
slightest degree. It had never used "esti
mates"; sold "special" or "board con
tracts"; placed misleading "statements"
on the face of its policies, or elsewhere, as
to how or In what manner Ita policies were
secured; or, sold "stocks, bonds or secur
ities" of any inauranoe or agency company
as an Inducement to take life Insurance
with It. The rulings against such practices
are In harmony with the position publicly
taken by The Midwest Life ever since its
of gsnlsailon.

ELIMINATE PROFESSIONALS,

Iavlte the Amatenr and Give Every
Bey a Chance to Win," Says
Payehelee-lst la Address.
In an address before the physical di
rectors of the Young Men's Christian asso
ciation. Prof. C. W. Hetherlngton, holding
the chair of psychology In the University
of Missouri, advised the elimination of pro
fessional athletes from contests within the
Y. M. C. A. because they hamper the am
bitions of the amateur. The professor's
subject was "Amateurism" and the address
was delivered In the auditorium of the
Y. M. C. A. building last evening.
"Amateurism is playing with motives,"
satd Prof. Hetherlngton. "Distinct from
It Is professionalism. The amateur goes
Into a contest for the fun of the thing, the
professional for the monetary gain to be
derived from his efforts. The object of the
professional is not primarily play, but it
Is to get money from the spectators who
see his feats.
"All conceptions of amateurism are based
on the Instincts derived from play. The
law of amateurism Is an administrative
rule made in an attempt to separate con
tests for play from contests for money.
The whole question is: Is this law essen
tial? "The principal factor which leads the
boy Into athletics centers in the law of
competition. Most, if not all, the pleas
ures of the contest are in the chances to
win. If there Is no chance to win, there
Is no competition. This being so, we should
then eliminate the professional. Invite the
amateur, and give every boy a fair chance
to win."

COUNCIL HAS THE MESSAGE
Committee of Whole Discusses
Mayor's Becommendations.
LAW COMMITTEE GETS MESSAGE
PI S in hers Appear to Protest Against
Reappointment of Hnrrr McVea.
Who Defends Hlmaelf on
Charges Preferred.
Mayor Dahlman'a message Is now up to
the council committee on Judiciary, headed
by Judge Berka. for recommendation as
to the disposal of the various pieces of leg
islation touched upon.
The message waa brought up In the meet
ing of the committee of the whole Monday
afternoon, read and discussed. The coun
ctlmen expressed themselves favorably on
the recommendation that two assistant
plumbing inspectors be appointed, intimated
that there are enough parks In Omaha nut
to necessitate the expenditure of money
to buy seats to place In the park at Fort
Omaha and declared themselves as being in
favor of equipping the fire engine houses
already built before building more stations.
Former Councilman Zlmman's ordinances
requiring the payment of occupation taxes
by public service corporations were not be
fore the council, so no action could be
taken on this matter in relation to the
mayor's recommendation. Nothing was
said regarding the mayor's recommendation
that bonds be voted to build an art gallery
or the establishment of a public comfort
station.
A delegation of plumbers, headed by
George Wallace, appeared before the com
mittee to protest against the confirmation
of Harry McVea, city plumbing Inspector,
In the event the mayor re. points that
official. Definite charges were preferred,
the plumbing inspector being allowed to
answer them later. The committee spokes
man said the plumbing inspector had In
spected but little of the work done in this
city during the last three years, had al
lowed Incompetent men to follow the trade,
had passed as competent men wjio are rot,
had filed no complaints against Incompe
tent men until the last week and had al
lowed plumbers to complete a job before
taking out a permit.
MeVea Makes Knowing-.'
Mr. McVea admitted that he had not in
spected all work, but said that it was a
physical impossibility for one man lo get
all over the city and Inspect work in new
housia which were ii.sp eted by threa bu U
ing inspectors and three electrical Inspec
tors. In support of this contention he
showed that the net earnings of his de
partment had been $1,100, $1,600 and $2,000
a year since he has held the office, while
the previous maximum was $000. He said
that he did more work for the health de
partment alone than was done altogether
by his predecessors.
The plumbing inspector also told the
committee that he is only one member of
a board of three (composed of himself, a
ihit oxii urrrU ?nrJ2&-
fSSmt? rite immmidJM
union plumber and a master plumber)
which examines plumbers and that If any
Incompetent men had been passed, he alone
Is not responsible. Failure to file com
plaints was explained by the official on
the ground of lack of time, that If he fol
lowed up a man believed to be Incompetent
he would be neRleotlng other work. Mr.
McVea said It had always been the policy
of the department to let a contractor take
out a permit after the work was done.
Another committee appeared before the
council committee In support of Robert V.
Wolfe, boiler Inspector, whose reappoint
ment has been forecasted. This committee
ea from the International Association of
Machinists and was headed by J. Wang
berg. Favor Billboard Restriction.
The committee recommended the passage
ot the ordinance prohibiting the erection or
maintenance ot billboards within twelve
feet of any building. Billboards are now
allowed to Join buildings, which enhances
the danger of fire, said Councilman Ho
Govern, who introduced It, and they also
serve as a hiding place for tramps and
garbage.
The ordinance requiring, the confirmation
of health and sanitary Inspectors, ap
pointed by the health commissioner, was
also recommended for passage. The ordi
nance gives the council power to fix the
pay of these inspectors. Heretofore the
commissioner has appointed as many men
as he saw fit and paid them a salary fixed
by himself. This resulted last year In a
deficit of $7,000 in tbe fund allowed the
commissioner ot health.
Councilman Sheldon's ordinance making
It a misdemeanor to annoy people over a
telephone, was resurrected and recom
mended for passage. A maximum fine of
$100 is the penalty.
F. P. Gould & Son, contractors of the
new fire engine house at Twenty-second
street and Ames avenue, were allowed ad
ditional, pay of $1,184.60 to build a retaining
wall on the rear end of the lot. The lot
has been filled and It was found necessary
to build a high retaining wall to keep It
from washing away during heavy rains.
