sets have belt, a little bag and a
waist and in some cases a vest to

they may all be different. But the

flowers, wistaria or some other trailing

suffered an accident Saturday night which
will leave him cripple for life. Pete
as he is famiharly called by everyone, was
walking across the floor in the store, when
he stepped on an onion, which turned his
foot and threw him to the floor, His
right knee struck the floor with terrific
force, splitting his knee cap and making a
wound that was very painful. He is now
under the treatment of DR.. Barlow and it
will be several months before he will be
able to bear any weight upon his leg.
He will be a cripple for life, the injury
to his knee cap preventing him from

ITCH IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid hur1or in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
Elimination little pustuiar 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
humor seems TO ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, 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.
