Itching,
Burning,
Eczema

Is tile external indication of con-
dition of the blood which produces
fiery irritation almost unbearable. 1t is
mistaketo think that this local irrita.
ton is the disease itself-it is simply all
evidence of adisordered condition Of the
blood. The seat of the disease is in the
blood, and this is why the various salves
and ointmcnts usually applied have no
effect whatever. They cannot possibly
reach the origin of the trouble; only a
blood remedy can do that. S. S. S. is
without all equal for blood diseases, and
promptly aud permanently cures Eczema
and removes all taint.
Much torture could be avoided if the
FIRST itching symptoms were needed and
acourse OF S.S.S. taken promptly, as ap-
parcntly insignificant s',in irritations
usually develop into the worst form
OF Eczema unless properly treated.
1t matters not what other treatment
has been tried in vain, S. S. S. always
gets at the seat of the disease, and
forces it out.

each one of the seven locks on the

work on the upper river. The board
will rush its work to completion as

The NEW DOMINION sends greet
ings to all its readers, wherever they
may be scattered over the land, ON
this delightful Christmas occasion.
1t wishes every home and every
heart may be made brighter and
better by the cheerful and hallowed
influences which this annual occa-
sion brings to every nook and corner
of our christian land.
There is no influence more univer-
sal, more pervading, more elevating
and altogether more salutary, than
that which this annual Christmas
season diffuses abroad through ev-
cry community of people.
1t develops the spirit of human
brotherhood: it cements the ties Of
human friendship: it dispels selfish
ness and sordidness; it touches the
springs of our generous impulses; II
retires for the time, every sectional
and exclusive feeling and unites
the rich and the poor. the high anc
the low, the christian and pagan, the
jew and gentle into one common
brotherhood, as no other influence
can or does.
While SO many diversified inter
ests and ambitions of mankind are
tending to create division and an
tagonism, we welcome one bright day
in the year which tends only t.
unite, and recalls the chief fact thai
all men are brothers.
Let us hallow this day therefore
not only for its sacred memories ant
associations, but for the hallowec
influences which serve to make thu
world happier and better.

TWO IMPORTANT CASES.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Dec. fiat
It's session here the Supreme Court of
Appeals handed down decisions in two
test cases OF vital Importance to those
engaged in selling artificial butter and
to the building association interest.
In the case of Eliza Myers, of Wheel
ing, the judgment Of the circuit court
was affirmed. This sustains the law
which makes it a misdemeanor to sell
any artificial substitute for butter un-
less it is colored bright pink.
In the case of the Ohio Valley
Building and Loan Association vs.
county court of Cabell county, judg-
ment Of circuit court reversed. In this
case the court holds that building and
loan associations are not to be assessed
with capital stock, but members to
be assessed with the shares held by
each.

Lodge immigration bill which pro-
vides an educational qualification for
entrance into this country. All i'm
migrants must be able to read and
write or they will be taken back to
their homes at the expense of the
steamship companies which brought
them over This is another step in
the attempt to make citizenship in
this country something which every
thug and ignorant wretch in Europe
cannot get at his convenience. The vote
was SO to 10 for its passage it devel-
oping more strength than was ex.
pected. For the purpose of testing
the immigrant, slips having printed
on them different sections of the con
stitution in different languages pro-
vided and he is asked what language
he can speak. Then a slip in the re-
quired language is given him and he
is required to read it to the officers,
after this he is required to write in
the same language his Interpretation
of the slip. No immigrant failing to
meet these tests will be admitted. An
persons under 16 years of age will be
exempt from these requirements and
an admissible immigrant may bring
in or send after his wife, parent, grand
parent, child or minor child, notwith-
standing their inability to read and
write.
