Eczema is caused by an acid humor in

skin and producing great redness and in
fammation little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and assured. Eczema in any

almost unbearab1e; the acid burning

Palmer's work for the National Sani-

capt. Palmer is again in Washing
ton furthering the passage OF his pet
bill for the establishment of north
ern branch of the Soldiers Home at
Hot Springs. S. ID. Ii this bill goes
through and the report proves true
that Mr.. Wattles is to put money into
an electric light plant at Hot Springs
and that the Vanderbilts are also in
terested in that direction, the future
of that little summer resort is assured.
The bill as now before the house pro-
poses an appropriation of $780, 900, and
and it can be taken up and passed in a
few minutes at any time, because out
of 10000 bills now pending it stands
within ten of being at the head of the
calendar.
"'It is settled proposition,' argues
Capt Palmer, that no honorably dis
charged soldier who volunteered to
fight for the flag and the perpetuity Of
this union shall, of necessity, look out
of alms-house windows on the country
he helped to save. 1t is not necessary

a WAY TO COLLECT rAxEs.
Senator burke Has IA Novel Bill for the
Collection of Delinquent Taxes.

Collection of Delinquent Taxes.
Pierre, Feb. 1l-Senator Burke of
Fall River county, an ex-county treas
urer, introduced bill to govern the
collection of delinquent real estate tax
that is novel in it's way and should
prove effective.
At the present time there are more
back taxes owed to the state than
would pay the state debt twice over,
and if the Hills counties had what is
coming to them their warrants and
other forms of indebtedness would be
gilt-edge at their face value, while
their treasures would be overfowing
with coin. This bill provides that fol
lowing the time when taxes become
delinquent they shall be entered as IL
Judgment against the land by due pro-
cess of the law and that these judg-
ments shall subsequently be sold to
the highest bidder for not less than %
per cent of their face value
The Judgment would then take the
form of tax certificates and would be
| incontestible for the amount paid by
the holder, who could in time take
out a tax deed the same as at present.
The bill would, however, abolish the
tax title holder now enjoys of being
permitted to go to the treasurer's
office as soon as the taxes are spread
and by paying the tax subsequent to
his certificate compel the owner to put
up l5 per cent interest on the same,
although it may have been the inten-
ton of the latter to pay the tax before
it became delinquent.
The fees for judgments and record
ing are nominal, and the holder of GER
titicate would feel absolutely sure that
he would get his money back in the
event of redemption. Before the judg-
ment can he taken against the land
the owner must be served with notice
OF the amount Of the tax and shall also
be cited to appear at u time and place
TO show cause why the Judgment
should not be entered The Taxpayer
can appear at the time and contest the
tax on any legal ground whatever, bu
ii he fails to establish his case or per
mits the proceedings to 80 by default
he cannot afterwards set up the lille
gality of the tax as u defense.
Those who have examined the bill
carefully say that it is an admirable
conception and that without working
an injustice to any person it would re
suit i'll cleaning up Il very large per
centage of the outstanding taxes OIL
the more worthless kinds of lands an,
lots. The bill also abolishes the ta
compromise law, as etfecting take
hereafter spread, but expressly pro
vides that the land owner may redeem
: within certain time upon payment o
the actual money expended by tn
; certificates with interest.
