What's in a Name

Everything is in the name when it comes
to Witch Hazel Salve. E. C. Dewitt & Co.,
of Chicago, discovered, some years ago,
how to make a salve from Witch Hazel
that is specific for Piles. For blind,
bleeding, itching and protruding
Piles, eczema, cuts, burns, bruises and all
skin diseases, DeWitt's Salve has no equal.

Ont Of the multitude of tempests in

Out Of the multitude of tempests in
teapots at the congress Of the d. A.
R. has come a tempest large enough
for tea kettle at least, says Wash
ington dispatch. The South Carolina
Daughters blew it up. Mrs. Fairbanks,
the president general, in her annual
address included the names Of all the
states she had visited and gave at
some length the courtesies extended to
her. But Mrs. Fairbanks spoke SC low
that only a few tiers of delegates
heard word she said. Everybody
applauded just the same. After it
was all over a little South Carolina
woman piped up: "What did she say
about the way we all entertained her
down at Charleston? We were so far
back we coulda't hear word she
said.' She got a typewriter copy
of the address. South Carolina did not
appear in it. Then the South Carolina
delegates hunted up the president
general. She explained that the type
writer had got things mixed, and had
left out a "splendid" notice of the
magnificent" courtesies extended at
Charleston. Notwithstanding TIE ex-
planation the South Carolina delegates
felt hurt, and at the reception which
the president general held at Congress
sional Library no daughter of South
Carolina appeared with a badge on.
Only two were there at all. a meeting
of the delegation was held and it was
decided not to attend Mrs. Fairbanks
reception.

THE RETAIL CLERKS.

Thursday night the clerks met at
X. of r. hall. The meeting was large
ly attended and great deal OF i'm
portant business was transacted. The
constitution and bylaws OF the In
ternational association were adopted
with amendments pertinent to local
lodge. The committee appointed to
draft a petition for the uniform clos
ing hour of stores and the proper OBJ
servance of legal holidays, reported
and the report was accepted. petit
tion will now be circulated for the
merchants signatures, and it is hoped
the business men will realize that JUS
tice of such an agreement and the
benefit to be derived therefrom. 1t is
urged that the proprietors and others,
when early closing is in effect, will
then be able to become acquainted
with their families through having
their evenings at home and otherwise
enjoying themselves. and best of all,
will not lose financially. 1t is also ad-
vanced in support of the petition that
the merchants will not lose financial
ly, as the public will soon be educat-
ed to purchasing by daylight, which
would prove much more satisfactory
to ! concerned.
Fourteen new members were In
itia,ed at the meeting, and the clerks
feel jubilant that such general inter
est has been taken in the Organiza-
tiOn.
