Intense Itching Eczema Drove Him
Nearly to Despair —Chief Surgeon
of a London Hospital Called It
Worst Case He Had Ever Seen
Got Little or No Relief Until
CUTICURA STOPPED HIS
UNBEARABLE TORTURE
"About four years ago, in London, I
was troubled by * severe itching and
dry, scurfy skin
on my ankles and
feet. The same,
in a few days,
was tha case with
my a r m a and
scalp. I could
hardly keep from
scratching,which.
\ I ne«d hardly
)say, made it
pworse. Then
large rod patches
appeared, with
Inflammation
and soreness.
After tan days,
thousands of small red pimples formed.
On becoming dry, three caused intense
itching. I wa* advised to (o to the
hospital for disease* of the skin. I did
so and was an out-patient for a month
or more, the chief surgeon saving ’I
never saw such a bad case of eczema.’
But I got little or no relief. Then I
tried many so-called remedies, but I be
came so bad that 1 almost gave up in
despair. On oomieg to this country I
beard so many accounts of cures by Cuti
cura Remedies that I resolved, a* a
last resource, to give them a trial. Thia
was after suffering agonies for twelve
months, and right glad am i that 1 did
ao, for I was relieved of the almost un
bearable itching after two or three
application* of Cuticura Ointment. I
continued ita use, combined with a
liberal use of Cutk-nra Soap and Cuti
eura Resolvent Pills and am more than
thankful to say that after using three

they will do as I did. and I am sure of

Ji Dawn of Peace
By ELLJ& WHEELER WILCOX
What we call civilization has
marched over the earth through
bloody battlefields.
Wars have changed the face of na
ture, and made, unmade, and remade
nations and countries.
Wars have resulted in progress to
the human race many times.
But that ever has so resulted, would
have been done a thousand times
more effectually and perfectly, had
men been able to reason calmly, and
to settle their disputes by arbitra
tion.
Poverty, pestilence, and famine,
have always followed in the footsteps
of war.
The world today could be a garden
of beauty, with all the arts flourishing
in its most remote corners, and with
ignorance an obsolete word, and edu
cation universal, had the money, and
mentality, used for the maintenance
of armies and navies during the last
three thousand years, been employed
for educational and industrial pur
poses.
In the days of Attlla the Hun, war
was pardonable
In the days of Napoleon, the In
carnated spirit of war. It was still a
seeming necessity for men to find
vent through this medium for their
mental and physical activities.
Today there is no exeusp for war.
There is no need of war.
* ,ie profession of a soldier, no long
er appeals to the best and strongest
minds, as it did in olden times.
Our greatest men stand for peace.
Yet we Shall see another terrible
war on earth before many years.
The monster is dying, but his head
iis still alivg; and not until It is
crushed absolutely by the heel of
; progress will peace and reason rule
! the world.
The mature men and women of to
day will live to see another war.
The new born children of the earth
today will live wars’ end.
Everything connected with war Is,
today, an obstacle In the path of real
progress for the human race. Real
progress means a higher type of hu
manity.
Investigate carefully the conditions,
customs and habits of all army and
navy society and you will find class
distinctions as severely marked as
the caste distinctions of India which
we so loudly deplore.
•he ogotism. intolerance and Inso
lence of the average petty officer, ns
exhibited con’inuaily toward those of
inferior rank, make a travesty of the
word Christianity in a Christian land.
Scarcely one spark of the divine
flame of Christ's spirit of 'Brother
hood” Is visible In this dense dark
ness of military aristocracy here and
In other civilized lands today.
“Life in a Garrison Town,” the sup.
pressed German novel, which Lieu
tenant Bilse published in 1904, and
for which he was tried by court mar
tial, stands, as its translator has
said, "as a protest against official in
iquity.”
Lieutenant Bilse was sentenced to
s.x months in prison, and expulsion
from the German army for telling the
truth about the soclcety in which he
had lived for years In the form of
fiction.
in France, a novel with a similar
purpose appeared under the name us
“The .Maritimes."
Lieutenant Bilse said in his trial:
“When I entered the army, I felt It
was my vocation. But I soon observ
ed evils and abuse which took away
all my illusions."
It Is only natural that cruelties and
abuse should result from an organize
tion based on the Idea of slaughter
of human beings.
But war has always existed and
will exist for a long time to come.
We must, under present conditions,
keep armies on land and sea, but the
world has advanced sufficiently to
cause some of the abuse which war
has always engendered to be done
away with. The mother of a blue
Jacket has been making an effort to
abolish irons from the Navy, as a
means of punishment. Here is her
letter on the subject:
"My oldest son served four years
in the IT. 8. Navy. Five months be
fore his enlistment expired, I visited
him In Boston. Of course, during
these four years I learned much that
was to me an utter surprise, the con
tinual usd of irons, both double and
single, being the most degrading and
repulsive. 1 had occasion to visit
Chelsea Hospital, while in Boaton,
and'to my horror, found young boys
sick on th<-lr cots their feet shackled
with heavy Irons. Others convalesc
ing were hobbling about, some trying
to wait on sick comrades, others In
the corridors trying, in this condition
to gain exercise Upon asking the
ordcly of the ard I was told that the
use of irons upon these boys was sn
order, the order a law, and until this
law was changed, such treatment of
sick boys would be allowed, If he had
trespassed upon certain rules or were
prisoners. He seemed to think It
equally as cruel as I did. hut said
their snperlor officers were prtvlleg
ed to give these orders, if they so do
aired. In my anger f asserted that
we would chance the law And then
I was scared to death, t had boldly
made my assertion—how was If to
carry It out? Two davs later I came
to New York, where I also visited the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, and I saw men
hobbling about with both feet and

hands in Irons. Following close upon
their heels were niaaters-ftt-arins, well
provided with ammunition. These
men were emaciated anil pale, having
been long confined on bread and
water in the brig, for long naeiods.
I visited several ships in both fids ton
snd New York, and rm them nil (with
no exception) could he heard the
clanking of irons being dragged
across the cell floors bv the unfortu
nate victims. The sight of these cru
elties Inflicted upon their fellowmates
(for even the slightest, offenses)
causes more desertion than any other
condition In the IT. 8. Navy. Often
the masters-al-arma beat, the men un
til insensible while placing them in
Irons. From New York I proceeded
to Washington, where l met General
Bonaparte (then Secretary of the
Navy): He was most kind and gra
cious to me, listening with deepest.
Interest while hearing of the oondl
tions of the blue Jackets Acting upon
his advice, I have succeeded in having
our Congressman John J. Esch, of La
crosse (a man of great worth and
ability) place this bill (Abolishment
of irons from the Navy) before Con
gress. For the ]>«*t year we have
placed ourselves In correspondence
with enlisted men, ex blue Jackets’
and the various Sailor’s Havens' and
Beaman's Friendly Societies" Every
report received have bean dtrongly In
favor of ahollsment of Irons:' Now
the bill has been presented; H rests

Were even those taw projects to he
given through attention hy the govern
mem of every land, there would be
work for every man now engaged In
the industries of war.
The money which goes Into Imple
mom* of wnr alone would build a
chain of inngnlfloent roads all over
the world.
The money spent. In mock war for
"exercising armies would establish
schools in every vlllnge; the money
fipent In any one year of actual war
would make habitable the swamps
level the Impassable mountains, plant
trees along bleak prairies, and ns
tubllsh country homes and Industrie*
fnr millions of people crowded Into
city alleys and faetorlea.
Conservatories of art and music
and literature, and shcholarehlps for
genius could make every country
proud and happy, on the money which
is used for ammunition alone In the
practice of war.
This la, lo he sure, only a dream of
,what might he.
Ye most things which now are were
once dreams.
And some dreams come true.
In time this dream of disarmament
will become a reality.
Every step toward making armies
less brutal Is a step m that direction.
