An UREEDURABLE ITCHING.

I suffered for three years with Eczema
on the lower part of my leg and ankle,
and it became so badly swollen that l
could not wear my shoe and was practi-
caily cripple most of the time lspent
a good deal of money without relief, and
had about given up hope of ever getting
rid of the torne:iting disease, which at
times itc,lcd almost beyond endurance.
When my attention was called to S. S. S.
decided to t-y it and began to improve
at once, and il a short time was c:;-cd.
The s. S. S. also built rp Iay general
health, and I feel better i'll every way.
I am Convinced s. S. S. is the greatest
known remedy for Eczema.

GU ARDIAH APPOINTED
FOR Miss VAN WICK
Mr.. H. j. Roberts to Look
After Her Affairs.
Created Sensation by Calling Halt to a
Half Finished Marriage
Ceremony.

Miss Happy Theodore Van Wyck, who
attained TO a great deal of notoriety
some few days ago by stopping iD the
middle Of marriage ceremony and re-
fusing to become the wife of Mr.. Frank
Mitchell. has had a guardian appointed
to represent her in her business af-
fairs. The petition for the appointments
of a guardian was made through her
next friend Mrs Grace B. Mott, who
was represented by Attorney Samuel
Maddox.
After hearing the petition Chief JUS
tice Hagner appointed Mr.. Henry j.
Roberts as Miss Van Wyck's guardian.
1t is stated that Miss Van Wyck is the
daughter of MIR. Charles II. Van Wyck
and Mrs. Kate b. Van Wyck. both of
whom are dead AS the sole heir of her
parents Miss Van Wyck is the owner of
premises 1900 Massachusetts Avenue,
which are stated to yield revenue of
$1,000 annually.
Stopped Wedding Ceremony.
Or July 2 last Miss Van Wyck and
Mr.. Mitchell repaired to the residence
Of the Rev. Dr. Wallace Radcliffe for
the purpose of being married. Accord
ing to the story told of the affair a few
DAYS later. Mics Van Wyck baked at
the altar and declined to go on with the
ceremony, after II was about hall over.
I'd to the moment she interrupted the
ceremony, 1t appears, Miss Van Wyck
considered that matter joke. and
when it came to making the affirmative
answers necessary she called halt
and said the whole thing was 100 serious
for her to continue 1t. In this colnec-
tion0t may be stated that 1t was on
that very day. only few hours before,
that, through her friend Mrs. Mott, she
filed her petition asking for the appoint
ment of guardian.
All Hands Astonished.
When Miss Van Wyck brought the
ceremony to so sudden an end. the
prospective groom and the minister
were astouu,led. No amount of coaxins
on the par of Mr.. Mitchell could induce
her to continue the ceremony, and the
marriage was consequently declared of
/ at once.
Mr.. Mitchell is an employe of the
Southern Railway Company and is about
twenty-six years old.
Miss Van Wyck is reputed to have an
| income OF between $4,000 and $4,000
a year.
