CUBE FOLLOWED k I YEAROFAGONY 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 art* r* the Remedies. I wsa completely euv o. I can mly add that, should any on*- tie suffering ss 1 did, I hope that they will do as I did. and I am sure of the' results. * Henry Snarls. J 022 Cross Bt., Little Rock, Ark., Oct. Hand 10.

Cssmws sa as VMM 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 THE AUGUSTA HERALD GRAND OPENING 10.30 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 with the newspapers and individuals, either in private or public walks of life, to raise thejr voices In protest Fading Beauty Your good lookH begin to fade as soon as some thing begins to affect the appearance of your eyes. ljark hollow circles around them one of the first outward signs of female trouble,- make you look sick, worn and old.
