IT STRAIGHT
"Dill" Canavan has news straight
from the front which is calculated
to settle the question of the election
in Illinois, despite the report of an
intended contest. It conies from
Roy O. West, chairman of *he Illinois
republican state committee.
"Dear Friend: I am glad 'to hear
from you," he says. "The governor
won by about 2-1.000. The grafters
In all parties were " against hiui
either openly or secretly. Roger Sul
livan made a deal with Lorimcr,
Yates, and Len Small. Sullivan sac
rificed every vote on the democrat i<
ticket for old jnan Stevenson ? but
we won. We have succeedefln tak
ing the senate away from them and
we believe we shall organize thr*
house."
?
This does not look very much like
a successful contest. Of course
"Bill" is de-lighted. He has had a
picture of his friend. Deneen, done
on burnt leather, which he is sending
to him as a token of his keen In tor"

TWICE CURED OF
SKIN P.UBLES
First Case a Rash Which Itched and
Stung? Threatened Ten Years
Later With Blood-Poison in Leg
?But Both Times the Sufferer's
RELIANCE IN CUTICURA
PROVED WELL-FOUNDED
"About twelve or fifteen years ago,
while living in West Virginia. I had a
breaking-out, and it itched and stung so
badly that I could not have any poaco
because of it. I saw three doctors and
they did not agree on what it was, so
one of them gave me something that he
called medicine, but 1 cuUed it soda
water. I might just as well have
washed in rain-water. Then I got somo
Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and
C'utieura Resolvent and began to get
better right away. They cured me and
1 have not been bothered with the itch
ing since, to amount to anything.
About two years ago I had la grippe
and pneumonia which left me with a
pain in my side. Treatment ran it into
my leg. which then swelled and began
to break out. It got in pretty bad
shape, so I went to a doctor. He was
afraid it would turn to blood-poison.
X used his medicine but it did no fjood.
So I sent for another sot of the Cuticura
Remedies. I used them three times
and cured the breaking-out on my leg.
Now I won't be without Cuticura.
