16 YEARS OF SKIN DISEASE
"For sixteen long years I have been
suffering with a bad case of skin dis
ease While a child there broke out a
red fore on the legs just in back of
my knees. It waxed from bad to worse,
and at last I saw 1 had a bad skin
disease. I tried many widely known
doctors in different cities but to no
satisfactory result. The plague both
ered me more in warm weather than
In winter wild being on my leg joints
!i made it impossible for me to walk,
and I was forced to stay indoors in the
warmest weather. My hopes of recov
ery were by this time spent. Sleepless
nights and restless days made life an
unbearable burden. At. last 1 was
advised to try the Cuticura remedies
[Cuticura Soan, Ointment and Pills]
and I did not need more than a trial
to convince me that I was on the road
of success this time. I bought two
sets of the Cuticura Remedies and
after these were gone I was a differ
ent man entirely. I am now the hap
piest man that there is at least one
true care for skin diseases. Leonard

"Is there any clay in the garden?"

MIX THIS FOR RHEUMATISM
Easily Prepared and Inexpensive and
Really Doe* the Work, Says
Noted Authority.
Thousands of men and women, who
!ue felt the Eting and torture of that
dread disease, Rheumatism, which is
Eo respecter of age, persons, sex,

Vnow that it is one of the easiest af

r.oi a distinct disease in itself, but a
symptom caused by inactive kidneys.
Hhe.imatism is uric acid in the blood
finj other waste products of the sys
tem which should be filtered and
fcti,imed out in the form of urine. The
function of the kidneys is to sift these
poisons and acids out and keep the
blood clean and pure. The kidneys
however, are of sponge-like substance,

In tur-ir function of eliminating these
poisons from the blood, they remain

about the joints and muscles, cause
tlio untold suffering and pain of rheu

^'implications of bladder and urinary
disi'ase, and general weakness.
The following simple prescription is
said to relieve the worst cases of
rheumatism because of its direct ac

Doubtful if Peace Can
Be Arranged.
Washington, Per. 3.—Tn what was
said to be the initial effort to bring
about a semblance of harmony in the
divided republican forces of the United
States senate. President Taft invited
a number of regular and progressive
leaders to the "White llou.-o today.
The presence of the regulars, who
dropped in singly and in pairs during
the day attracted little attention, but
political Washington began to sit up
and take notice when Senator Cum
mins of Iowa, recognized leader of the
senate insurgents, arrived at the ex
ecutive offices, lie was quickly foN
lowed by Senator William K. Rorah~of
Idaho, a progressive. I.ater came the
information that Senator Rristovv of
Kansas had been invited by telephone
to the White House, but had failed to
put in an appearance.
The president did not attempt to
bring the senate leaders together in
one big: conference. There never were
more than two in his private office at
one time. Ho saw Cummins and liorah
together and then had a private word
with each alone.
In insurgent circles tonight it was
said the preliminary conference had
given no definite promise of success.
The president was reported as concil
iatory and Is said to have declared
that he was anxious to do all in his
power to bring about a unity of ac-

Washington. Dec. 3.—The population
of the United States should be 01,193,

Counting New Mexico and Arizona
for present purposes as states, the full
returns of the enumeration under the
thirteenth census have been tabulated
for 33 out of 49 and the District of
Columbia. They show a grand total
of 00,355,ITS as against nn.203.G3G for
the same area in 1000. This is a gain
of just 20 per cent over T.".004.r.7r in
dicated by the census of 1000. States
not yet announced are Arkansas. Geor
gia. Kentucky, Louisiana. Mississippi,
Montana. New Jcrsev North Dakota,
North Carolina. South Carolina, South
Dakota, Texas. Utah, Washington,
Wisconsin and Wyoming. Of those it
Is expected that Texas and Washing
ton will show very lariro increases and
that Georgia, New Jersey, Montana,
Utah, Wyoming and the Pakotas will
go by and beyond the average so that
there is little doubt that the exact
grand total will be even more than
the present tabulation indicates. It
would not be surprising if the aggre

Two Gangs of Bank Robbers Operat«

Kansas City, Pec. 3.—Two gangs of
bank robbers who have successfully

In automobiles eluded the officers,
seem to have been responsible for the

While one gang was working along
the Nebraska-Kansas line, another at

Stark, a mining camp, southeastern
Kansas. At this place the safe blow

placed a charge of dynamite in the
vault door.
At Hanover a motor car, carrying
five passengers, was seen early today
and within SO minutes the vault of
the Taft State bank there had been
robbed of $2 .10.
During the last few months the
banks of several small towns around
