CQH Rheum

You may call 1t eczema, letter or milk crust.
 But no matter what you call 1t, this skln disease which comes in patches that burn, itch, discharge a watery matter. dry and scale, owes its existence to the presence of humors in the system.
 It will continue to exist, annoy, and per haps agonize, as long as these humorS remain.
 It is always radically and permanently cured by
 Hoods CGrSap0riLi0 which expels all humors, and is positively mneoualled for all cutapeous eruDtions. .-a

Experienced Engineers Wanted

Rear Admiral Q. w. Rae, engineer
in chief of the navy, chief of the Bu-
reau of Steam Engineering, in his an
nuaI report made public at the Navy
Department, says that the present en-
gineering condition in the navy is a
"cause of grave anxiety TO all conver-
SAINT with the subject. " After calling
attention TO the prime necessity OF an
efficient engineering personnel III the
hour of battle, and to the fact that a
man cannot become an efficient engi-
neer without a proper training and
experience, which is not to be obtain
ed by few months service, Admiral
Rae says the problem confronting the
department is: "How are we to OBJ
tain properly trained engineers when
the present supply of officers so train
ed is exhausted?p He presenes statis-
tics showing the scarcity of engineer
officers in the navy today, and urges
special legislation with a view to in
creasing the number of naval officers
available for engineering duties.
Changes in the titles of warrant ma
chinists and readjustment of the
ratings of the engineer force is recon-
mended. He urges that each newly
commissioned vessel be given an engi-
neer force at least one-half of whom
are experienced men. He recommends
the appointment of an assistant chief
of the bureau.

CONG HOME 10 VOIE
The Several Departments Being
Emptied of Employees For
The Election.

Washington, ID. O., Nov. 2.-The
approach of election day has brought
on Washington Sunday quiet. The
departments have been emptying them
selves of voters for several days. and
by the end of the week in all the big
government buildings the forces wilt
be reduced TO the lowest minimum
possible.
The government services will not be
allowed to suffer because of this exc
dus of voters, as the heads of depart
ments have been preparing for the
lack of workers by getting the routine
work well in hand and in such con-
dition that reduced number Of en-
ployees can handle it. The indica-
tions are that practically all OF the
government workers who hail from
New York, and Indiana will go home
to vote. In some of the states where
the result is less in doubt the voters
have not been so anxious to exercise
their right of suffrage
In several cases where public bust
ness prevented employees from leaving
| their places in the departments, pairs
have been arranged with men of op-
posite party. The civil service laws
have been extended so much in recent
years that the exodus of employees OF
the government to the different states
| hardly will improve the chances OF
| either party. OF all the government
| bureaus the largest quota of voters Will
leave the Government Printing Office.
| There are several thousand men IN
that Office, and about one-half of them
| have asked for leave of absence.
