Winter Eczema m rFTTFn Is one of the Uh HELEN many varieties
 of that tor-

menting disease called Eczema. It slum- bers through the summer and breaks out in winter The head, feet and hands are the parts most often attacked, though it sometimes appears on other parts of the body the skin hardens, cracks open and bleeds, while the itching and burning is at times almost unbearable. Scratching only makes it worse, sores and scabs forming where the skin is broken.
 In this form of Eczema brownish white crusts sometimes form which scale off SKIN CRACKS Ieavinp Ie hat the plFFilGlsS; psFin ls% AND BLEEDs and inhamed. It Is
 especially painful and severe when con- fined to the hands, which often become so badly affected that the sufferer is unable to perform the lightest work This, like all other types of Eczema, is due to acid poisons in the blood and not to local causes. The trouble is more than skin deep, and washes, soaps, powders and 'salves nor anything else applied to the surface can possibly do more than soothe the burning and itching or relieve tempo rarily the inflammation and pain.
 It is the acids thrown of by the blood and which are forcing their way through the pores that cause the skin to harden, crack and bleed, and produce the irrita-

MUST HAVE ROAD
ABERDEEN HAS PLEAD FOR AN
OUTLET LONG ENOUGH.
Citizens Meeting Tuesday Evening Is Unan.
nous on that Point. II is Now Time to
Demand Simple Justice for the North Side
of Grays harbor. Committee Appointed
for that Purpose.

The council room was filled with rep
resentative citizens a, the meeting. Tues
day evening, called for the purpose o
taking action on the matter of securin,
a wagon road outlet from Aberdeen OF
the east, and that they were in earnes
the matter was very evident.
A. j. West was elected chairman, ant
M. r. Sherwood secretary. W. 7. Nc
Bride, whose exertions were responsible
for the meeting, briefly stated it's objects
when l. w. Mason was called upon.
MIR. Mason had made complete est
mate of the cost OF building road arount
the bluff to the city line, and EXHIBITED
a plan of the 2,940 feet of pile trestle II
feet wide, required. Mr.. Mason sale
this could be built for $4,000, and that
he stood ready to take the contract al
that figure and put up a $4,000 bond
for its performance.
+. B. Benn said we need the road
and the city should build to the city line
although, as matter of right, the coun.
ty should build to connect with an i'm
proved street, in view OF the fact that
since its incorporation Aberdeen had
paid over $4,000 into the county road
and bridge fund, and would pay into
that fund this year $4,000, but he would
waive that. and simply ask the county
to build to the corporate limits.
Considerable discussion ensued as to
the best route for the road, but the::meet-
ing agreed that it should be on the north
side, and that the engineer and city
council could be relied upon to locate it
in the best place.
Sherwood moved that a committee of
0 be appointed to see the county:com-
missioners about the county part of the
road. Anstie amended this bysmaking
the committee consist of 25. Carney
amended, so that the committee of 25
demand OF the county commissioners an
appropriation of sufficient money to
build the county road on the north side
OF the river, at the meeting OF the board
Sept. Is. AS thus amended the motion
carried.
j. G. Lewis moved that the sense of
the meeting is, that the city council
should make sufficient tax levy, above
the ordinary municipal needs, to cover
the cost of the city's part OF the road.
This motion, coming from as large tax
payer as Mr.. Lewis, carried with a
whoop, and clearly showed the temper
OF the meeting on the subject.
H. w. Patton, VIM. Irvine and Jno. J..
Carney were appointed to call county
good roads convention, after which the
meeting adjourned.
Yesterday morning, Chairman West
announced the following committee Ito
appear before the county commits

ABERDEEN FALLS DOWN,
Chehalis Base Ball Team Wins First Game, in
Series Of Four

SVssSS VI Outs
The Cheha,is base ball club arrived in
the city Tuesday night to play series OF
four games with the Aberdeen team dur
ing the Carnival, and he first game was
played at Athletic Park yesterday after
noon. The Chehalis boys winning easily
by score of s to 4.
The first time the Chehalis team went
to the bat, the Aberdeen lads discovered
,hey had hard game to beat, and the
up.country nine scored 4 runs in the
first inning. Roxey Devers, an old
time Aberdonian, but now resident of
Chehalis, came down with that team and
acted umpire. Roxey is an old ball
player, and doubtless tried to be fair in
his decisions, but, he seemed to be more
severe on the Aberdeen pitcher, in the
matter OF balls and strikes, then he was
with our opponents.
While this had something to do with
the result, the loss of the game was
chiefly attributable to poor work in the
field, which, it is hoped will be improved
upon today The fact remains that the
Chehalis team is composed OF the best
ball players that have visited Aberdeen
this season, and the home nine will earn
all the games of the series they win.
Meanwhile the public will have the
pleasure of witnessing some realsgood
games of ball.

CARNIVAL OPEN
THE FOUR DAYS CARNIVAL
OPENS LAST NIGHT
With Parade and Coronation of the
Queen. A Great Crowd Taxes the
Capacity of the Pavilion. Pretty
Booths. The Success of the Affair
Assured.

The four days Carnival, given unde,
the auspices of the Woodmen of the
World, opened last evening with an eclat
that assures the success of the under.
taking, which at the start seemed some.
what problematical.
Soon after 80 p. M the parade started
from the Atlantic hotel, the home oil
Queen Nellie !, and marched up H street
to Market, down Market to F down +
to Heron, and down Heron to the pavil.
lion. The procession was headed by the
police, respondent in their new uni
forms, followed by the A. f. d. band,
the Queen and maids, the officers of the
Woodmen and guests in carriages, and a
long line of members of the order on
foot.
The city was in gala attire, and the
streets were lined with people, many OF
them from the neighboring towns.
Heron street was decorated with bunt-
ing, and many OF the business houses
were handsomely decorated for the occa-
sion. The great crowd seeking admission
was delayed by the slow facilities for
ticket selling, and the squeeze was not
altogether pleasant, but the crowd was
extremely good natured. This delay
prevented many from seeing the corona
ton OF the Queen, to their great disap-
polntment. In fact, it was evident that
the management had not anticipated
such large number, and had not made
provision for handling them.
After the coRonation, the ceremonies
began with an address of welcome by
Mayor Anstie, which was followed by
the reading of the proclamation of Queen
Nellie l, by the prime minister, f. E.
Bonner. EYhis was followed by concert
by the band. The throne of the Queen
would give more satisfaction if the cur
tains were Topped up, or abolished, so
that the audience could get glimpse of
OF royalty. AS it is Her Majesty is as
secluded from the public gaze as if she
were the consort OF the Sultan of
Turkey.
The following business houses have
neatly arranged booths in the street fair:
Aberdeen Soda Works, j. S. Coxey,
Frank r. Granger, G. II. Lillibridge,
Chas. f. Veysey, L. l.. Maley and the
Abereeen Brewing Co.
