THREE CURES OF ECZEMA.
Woman Tells of Her Brother's Terrible
Suffering—Two Babies Also Cured
—Cuticura Invaluable.
“My brother had eczema three dif
ferent. summers. Each summer it came
out between his shoulders and down
his back, and he said his suffering
was terrible. When it came on the
third summer, he bought a box of
Cuticura Ointment and gave it a faith
ful trial. Soon he began to feel better
and he cured himself entirely of ec
zema with Cuticura. A lady in In
diana heard of how my daughter,
Mrs. Miller, had cured her little son
of terrible eczema by the Cuticura
Remedies. This lady’s little one had
the eczema so badly that they thought
they would lose it. She used Cuti
cura Remedies and they cured her
child entirely, and the disease never
came back. Mis. Sarah E. Lusk, Cold

MOTHER AND CHILD
Ecth Fu-lly Nourished on Grape-Nuts,
The value of this famous food is
shown iii many ways, in addition to
what might be expected from its chem
ical analysis.
Grape-Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly baked
for many hours and contains all the
wholesome ingredients in these ce
reals.
It contains also the phosphate of
Xiotash grown in the grains, which Na
ture uses to build up brain and nerve
cells.
Young children require proportion
ately more of this element because the
brain and nervous system of the child
grows so rapidly.
A Ya. mother found the value of
Grape-Nuts in not only building up her
own strength hut in nourishing her
baby at the same time. She writes:
"After my baby came I did not re
cover health and strength, and the
doctor said i could not nurse the baby
as 1 did not have nourishment for her,
besides f was too weak.
"He said i might try a change of
diet and see what that would do. and
ecommended Grape-Nuts food. I
bo igh: a pkg. and used it regularly.
. A marked change came over both
baby and 1.

DELIVERS NOTABLE ADDRESS AT
CHICAGO CELEBRATION.
Defines the Difference Between Planks
in Democratic and Republican
Platforms—Justice for
the Toilers.
Chicago.—At the Labor day celebration
here Hon. \V. J. Bryan was the principal
speaker, and had for un audience many
thousands of workmen. Mr. Bryan said
In part:
Labor day is a legal holiday and it was
made so because the legislators thought
the wage-earners worthy to have a day
specially set apart for the consideration
of themes that concern those who toil.
1 appreciate the compliment paid me by
the program committee of tills city in in
viting me to participate in the ceremonies
of this day, and it was gladly accepted,
because Chicago is the second city in tlie
union, anti as a labor center It is scarce
ly second to any city in the world.
If it were proper to speak from a text.
1 would select a passage from Proverbs,
for l know of no better one than that
furnished by the words of Solomon when
lie declared that as a man •‘tliinketii in
his heart, so is lie.” This is Bible doc
trine; it is common sense, and it is hu
man experience. We think in our hearts
an well as in our heads—out of the heart
“are the issues of life.” It is a poor head
that cannot rind a plausible reason for
doing what the heart wants to do. T be
gin my speech with this proposition be
cause i want to impress it upon the
minds of those who listen to me, and up
on those who read what I say to you.
The labor question is more a moral than
an intellectual one.
A long step toward the elevation of
labor to its proper position in tlie na
tion’s deliberations is to be found in the
establishment of a department of labor,
with a cabinet officer at its head. The
wage earners deserve this recognition,
and tlie executive is entitled to the as
sistance which such an official could
render him. I regard the inauguration
of this reform as tiie opening of a new
era in which those who toil will have*
a voice in the deliberations of the presi
dent’s council chamber.
The labor organization has been seri
ously handicapped by the fact that it
has been—and 1 am not sure that it lias
not been done unwittingly—yoked up with
the industrial combinations known as
trusts. Tiie proneness of trust de- !
fenders to use tiie labor organi- |
zation as an excuse for combinations
in restraint of trade has aroused tiie sum- ,
picion that they have been classed to- 1
gether for the purpose of shielding the
combinations of capital. As tiie result
of 18 years of anti-trust legislation, only
one man has been given a penal sen
tence for violating the federal law on
this subject, and that man was a mem
ber of a labor organization rather than a
trust magnate. The laboring man is jus
tified in his demand that a distinction
shall be drawn between tiie labor or
ganization and the industrial monopoly.
The trust and tiie labor organization
cannot be described in tiie sa ne language.
The trust magnates have used their pow
er to amass swollen fortunes, while no
• me will say that the labor organization
lias as yet secured for its members more
than their share of the profits arising
from their work. But there are funda
mental differences. The trust is a com
bination of dollars; the labor organiza
tion is an association of human beings,
in a trust a few men attempt to con
trol the product of others; in a labor
organization, tie* members unite for the
protection of that which is their own.
namely, their own labor, which, being
necessary to their existence, is part of
them. The trust deals with «b*nd matter;
the labor organization deals with life and
with intellectual and moral forces. No
impartial student of the subject will de
ny the right of the laboring man to ex
emption from tiie operation of the ex
isting anti-trust laws.
If the labor organization needs to be
regulated by law. let it be regulated by
a lav which deals with man as man. and >
not by a law that was aimed to pre
vent the cornering of a commodity or
the forestalling of the market.
T shall not speak of the eight-hour |
day. or of the employer's liability act.
because 'noth of tie* leading parties have
indorsed these reforms; the only ques
tion to be considered: which party
can best be trusted to secure these re
forms? 1 need hardly to assure you
that I am heartily in favor «»f both
re forms.
There are iwo questions. now ever, in
timately connected with the labor prob
lem upon which the Democratic ami Re
publican parties do not agree. and I not
only feel at liberty to discuss these, but.
under the circumstances. 1 have no
right to ignore them. One relates to the
issue of injunctions, and the other to con
tempt cases arising under injunctions.
The Republican convention did not deal
candidly with the laboring man on the
subject* of the writ of injunction. Sec
retary Taft has endeavored to amend ! is
platform in this respect and to make
some promises, which are not supported
b.v his platform, but his promises offer
nothing substantial in tie* way of reform,
and are not binding on Republican sena
tor.0 and members. The Republican con
gress has already made a. record on la
bor questions, and the Republican party
cannot escape from that record.
Mr. Taft’s speech may be considered
as binding upon 1dm. but the convention
which selected the Republican candidates
indorsed the Republican platform—not
Mr. Taft’s personal views. The Republi
can platform, while pretending to pledge
some modification of the law. contains
an exception clause which reiterates the
very language of the law. Whether this
exception clause was inserted by accident
or design, the effect is the same. It
merelj provides, in substance, that re
straining orders shall not issue without
notice except where such order can now
issue without notice. The platform was
a triumph for those who have been op
posing the laboring man. and they have
been boasting of their victory.
The Democratic platform on this sub
ject copies the language which the labor
organizations submitted to the Republi
can and Democratic conventions. Mr.
Taft, in his notification speech, objects to
tin: language. lie charges that the anti
injunction plank was “loosely draw'll."
and framed for "the especial purpose of
rendering it susceptible to one interpre
tation by one set of men. and a diamet
rically opposite interpretation by an
other’." As Mr. Taft has had long < x
perienee on the bench, and is theretma*
skilled ill the Interpretation of language.
1 ask him to give us, if lie can. two op
posite interpretations of the language.
That plank demands that "all parties to
all judicial proceedings shall be treai»>!
with rigid impartiality." Surely he < ar
ia.t find two interpretations to the phrase
“rigid impartiallt v "
Speaking of industrial disputes. the
platform declares that "injunctions shall
n,,t be issued in any cases in which in
junctions would not issue if no industrial
dispute were involved." How can that
language be misconstrued or misinter
preted V If words mean anything, that
plank means that an industrial dispute
shall not. in itself, be regarded as a suf
ficient cause for an injunction. If an in
junction issues in an industrial dispute,
it must be based upon acts which would
justify an injunction if there were no
Industrial dispute involved. There is
nothing ambiguous about it: there is
nothing that can he misconstrued or mis
interpreted. even by one desiring to find
a double meaning. Why do the Repub
lican leaders attempt to read ambiguity
into those w'ords? Simply because they
cannot meet the proposition presented.
One of the great problems to-day is
to secure an equitable distribution of the
proceeds of toil. The material wealth of
this country is largely a joint product,
hi factories few people work alone, and
on the farm a certain amount of co
operation is necessary. Where men work
together, the army organization applies
m' some degree; that is, some direct,
others are directed. The difficulty has
been to divide the results fairly between
the captains of industry and the privates
in the ranks. As the dividing is done
largely bv the captains, it is not un
natural that they should magnify their
p-rt and appropriate too large a share:
,,, thcr is it unnatural that ih?re should
Pc . omplaint on the part of the tollers
who think tl/al their recompense is in
sufficient.

A SIMPLE SAFEGUARD IN BUYING
PAINT.
Everybody should know how simple
and easy it is to avoid all uncertainty
In buying paint materials. There are
many so-called white leads on the
market, which contain chalk, zinc,
barytes, and other cheap adulterants.
Unless the property owner takes ad
vantage of the simple means of pro
tection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers, he runs great risk
of getting an inferior and adulterated
white lead.
It is to protect the paint-buver
against fraud and adulteration that
National Lead Company, the largest
makers of genuine Pure White Lead,
place their famous "Dutch Hoy Paint
er" trademark on every keg of their
product, an absolute guarantee of its
purity and Quality. Anyone who wants
to make a practical test of white lead,
and who wants a valuable free book
about painting, should address Na
tional Lead Company. Woodbridge

equipment.

Physicians Recommend Castoria
CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma
ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with
results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the
result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless:
Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi
lates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor OiL
It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic
and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s
Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medici Journal to say. Our duty, how
ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day
for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by
regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to
the information.—Hall’s Journal of Health.

Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher.
Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: "I have prescribed your
Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory.”
Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: “Your Castoria stands
first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have
found anything that so filled the place.”
Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and
found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for
many years. The formula is excellent.”
Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria
extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's
troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always
Bee that my patients get Fletcher’s.”
Dr.Wm. J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., Bays: “As the father or thirteen
children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside
from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Cas
toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.”
Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Fa., says: “The name that your Cas
toria has made for itself In the tenB of thousands of homes blessed by the
presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse
ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse It and
believe It an excellent remedy.”
Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not
prescribe proprietary preparations, but In the case of Castoria my experi
ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex
ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it
to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children'3 complaints. Any physi
cian who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom
mendation of Castoria.”

Nature
To Cure Female Troubles
After all, nature is the host doctor. When we
try to get rid of disease, by methods contrary to hers,
we come to grief.
The best way to cure female troubles, female
pains, irregularities, falling feelings, headache, back
ache, etc., is to help nature to do it, by taking Cardui,
the natural plant extract, made from ingredients
with a natural curative action on the female organs.
Mrs. II. A. Harper, of Flanagan, HI., writes: “I
suffered miserably, for a year, with bearing-down
pains, which got so had I could
hardly walk and laid in bed most of
the time. I was also irregular and
had the headache. Finally I began to
take Cardui, and found it to do all
that you recommend it for. Now I
am better, don’t have the headache
like I used to, and am a different per
son.” Try Cardui. Sold everywhere.
