Eczema is caused by an acid humor In
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
aammation little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin Is
hard, dry and assured. Eczema in any
form Is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
hunor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Sa1ves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.

JOSEPH F. MALLoNEY.

The youngest candidate for Presi-
dent of the United States this fall is
Joseph Francis Malloney, the nominee
of the Socialist Labor party. Mr. NAL
loney was born in Providence, r. L.,
October is, 1866. which brings him Just
within the required age of 35 years.
He is the youngest of nine children.
When he was 9 years old the poverty
into which his parents had fallen
made it necessary for him to go to
work. He worked in cotton factory
for six years and then learned the
machinists' trade. In 1892 he went to
Massachusetts, and hired out to George
R. Pease Of Lynn. who is one of the
staunchest Socialists in the country.
He took young Malloney in hand. and
the latter became valuable member
of the Socialistic party. He went on
the platform as speaker, and his
services have been from 1893 till now
in constant demand. In 1898 he ran
for Congress in the seventh district.

Some novel campaign methods will
be adopted by both the great parties
during the campaign just opening. The
Republicans, it is stated, have decided
to use monographs to considerable
extent. Advantage will be taken Of
newly invented attachments, which
add great carrying power to the ma

COST OF A
CAMPAIGN

It is estimated that it costs $25, 000,-
900 to elect president of the United
+ States. The annual allowance which
the British parliament makes to Queen
Victoria is $1,825,000, or $7,700,000 in
four years. These comparative figures
would seem to indicate that it is much
cheaper to maintain a queen perma-
nently than it is to elect a president
once in four years.
In the campaign Of 1896 the Demo-
cratic national committee spent about
SIS 100000 and the Republican COM
mittee as much more. This year it is
safe to assume that the expenditure of
neither party will be less than it was
then This makes one item of $5,0O0,-
900, or one-fifth the total Of the esti-
mate.
Experience in past campaigns has
shown that for every dollar spent by
the national committees of the two
great parties an average Of 81 will be
spent by the various state committees.
This would mean that If the national
committee spent 81. 0o0. 900. the state
committees will spend 10000, 600. More
than half OF the money spent by both
national and state committees goes for
campaign orators. Altogether 1t is es-
ttmatsd that not less than $4,000 more
or less eloquent patriots will spend on
an average Of eight weeks Of their
time in saving the country ON the
stump. All this campaign speaking
will cost between now and November 6
the sum Of 81, 000, 900. s
The next largest item on the cam
paign bill is that for printing and
stationary. Each OF the national COM
mittees will spend at least $4,000 in
this way. Before the campaign is over
1T II estimated that both the Repub-
ilican and Democratic committees will

ments,. i supply sufacient to furnish
