ITCH IS TORTURE

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
lammation little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fssured. Eczema IN any
form is tormentiug, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
hImor 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.

TWO PRESIDENTS

Mexico While on His Tour
of South and West.
Especial Dispatch to Til, Times )

WASHINGTON, D. c., March IL
President Mckinley and his private
secretary have been kept very busy
since their return to Washington from
former President Harrison's funeral.
Congressman have visited the White
House extending to the President invita-
tions to visit many cities in the South
and West.
1t would be impossible, of course, for
him to accept all these invitations. His
private secretary, however, has decided
upon a schedule which the President
will do his best to carry out. On ac-
count of the fact that the health of
President Diaz. of Mexico. is so greatly
improved. it is possible for the President
of the United States and the Chief Exc
cu:ive OF the lower Republic to shake
hands across the border at El Paso.
The President has informed interested
parties that he will visit Los Angeles
upon two different days and further will
spend a week in and about San Fran
cisco. 8
1t has also been decided that the Pres
ident will accept the invitation extended
to him TO visit Seattle. Portland, Tacoma
and from Salt Lake will journey to
Duluth to make the trip by the Lake
Route to Buffalo to inspect the Pan
American Exposition. This carries the
Presidents journey to the South and
West down TO date.
His itinerary is subject to changes TO
meet the requirements of his southern
and western trip, but these changes will
not be absolutely decided upon for weeks
to come.
