AN UNENDuRABLE ITCHING.

I suffered for three years with Eczema
on the lower part Of my leg and ankle,
and it became so badly swollen that I
could not wear my shoe and was practi-
cally a cripple most Of the time. spent
a good deal of money without relief, and
had about given up hope of ever getting
rid of the tormenting disease, which at
times itched almost beyond endurance.
When my attention was called to S. s. S.
I decided to try It and began to improve
at once, and in short time was cured.
The S. S. S. also built up my general
health, and I feel better III every way.
1 am convinced S. S. S. IS the greatest
known remedy for Eczema.

At a meeting of the Elks' finance
committee last evening Chairman Les

After his appointment. Chairman

which he urged the committeeman TO
get out and rustic. He then called for
reports from the various sub-chair-
men. thirty of whom were present.
These reports showed that about $4,000
had been subscribed to date. and the
citizens as whole are awaking TO the
importance of raising funds for the en-
tertainment of the convention.

Elks headquarters yesterday. and
sentative of the Illinois lodges, made
application 10 Chairman Homer of the

and out into the air ne sauntered.
An hour later he returned to the Of
flee with a broad grin on his face, and
announced that he had reserved the
whole of the Harmon block for Hi
nois and paid for it in advance. The
report proved to be true. The agent,
it seems. was delegated by the com
bined lodges Of Illinois to come here
and secure prominent quarters for
them.
