Eczema is caused by an acid hurnor IL
the blood coming In contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
Illumination 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 tormeuting, 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.

An abandoned cistern is often

If this cannot be done at once, it is a

JAILED FOR SCORCHING.
Sloan, Famous American Jockey Im-
prisoned in Paris for Reckless
Driving on an Automobile.

Tod Sloan, the famous American
Jockey, was sent to prison .pr two
days at Paris for scorchinS it'll an
automobile in the Bots de l. riogne.
Sloan wanted to pay q hue but
the Judge CONSTRUCTION before whom
he was arraigned refused to impose
any other penalty than imprison-
ment because of the fagrancy Of
Sloan's offense, he having been re-
peatedly warned by the police that
he was violating the law. Sloan was
taken to Jail.
Sloan and his racing car are known
by sight to all the Parisians of the
boulevards. for no one drives quite
so recklessly as the American. Not
even Fournier dares to run at racing
speed in the heart of the city. The
leniency with which the police treat
ed him led Sloan to imagine himself
immune from arrest. He was un-
deceived in fashion that he will
not soon forget, for of all dismal
places French jail is the worst.
Sloan has had several accidents
with his motor car, and last August
ran into a tree at Trouville, causing
his companions to sustain serious
injuries Fournier and Charron had
hopes for time of making Sloan
into a great chauffeur, but he
proved TO be too reckless. Incapable
of handling heavy car running at
high speed with the lightning GER
tainty of a master driver, Sloan,
nevertheless, is daring in the highest
degree and takes amazing chances.
His presence in great race would,
in the opinion of the manufacturers
and chauffers, mean disaster to him
self and others.

Robert H. Hit, who has just been

has been mentioned by his personal
friends for United States senator, is
now serving his tenth full term as
representative Of tn. Ninth Illinois
district.
He was born in Urbana, o., in 1894,
but when he was three years OF age he
removed with his parents TO Illinois,
where he received his early education
at Rock River seminary, now called
Mount Morris college Later he at
tended De PAW university, where he
made brilliant record as student.
While still a young man Mr.. Hit
decided that the field of politics, with
its opportunity for high endeavor and
strenuous action. should be his life
work The famous debates between
Lincoln and Douglas. which he attend
ed and reported, are said TO have also
strongly influenced his decision.
Believing that thorough preparation
is an essential for success, Mr. Hit
made close study of political science.
and that he did so to some purpose
was evidenced in his appointment dur
ing Grants second administration as
secretary of the American legation at
Paris, which position he held for
seven years, part of the time acting
as charge d'afTaires. Returning to
America, he became assistant seere-

=" inc lished the record
of the descendants of female GRIM
inal who died in 1927. Of 500 persons
whose descent from the woman has
been traced, 700 have been convicted
of crime or misdemeanors, and OF
these 81 were convicted of murder
The list included 342 drunkards and
127 immoral women. The trials and
executions of the sentences of these
persons has cost the public $1,000
900. No more startling figures are
contained in the records of criminol-
ogy. Not only is the number OF
criminals descended from one wom-
an enormous, but the percentage OF
depravity is extraordinary. There
must have been a considerable adj
mixture of honest, or at least non
criminal, blood in these people, yet
the little leaven of evil leavened the
whole lump. Society might well be
appalled, at it's impending degener-
acy if the vital force of crime were
always so great. The Chicago Trib-
une thinks it is unfortunate that
Mrs. Annable has withheld the name
and history of the ancestress of the
dreadful brood, because the signifi-
canoe of the figures can only be es-
timated after thorough investiga-
ton of the circumstances in which
the criminals were reared and the
efforts that were made to correct
them.
