formation May Be Had.

AS result of the recent publicity given
the question Of party walls, as provided by
the laws Of the District and on which ques-
ton the corporation counsel of the District
has been asked by the Commissioners to
render an opinion, the offices Of the Engi-
neer Commissioner and the building inspec-
tor .have been flooded with letters and in
quiries. The question chiefly asked in these
communications is whose duty 1t is to deter
mine whether or not wall is a party wall
in the spirit Of the law.
Commissioner Biddle says that the mat
ter of a party wall is determined clearly by
section 1857 of the code of law of the Dis
trict, which states that If the wall of any
house already erected covers seven inches
or more in width of the adjoining lot 1t
shall be deemed a party wall under the
building regulations, and the surveyor shall
ascertain and certify to the fact at the re-
quest OF any interested party, and If the
wall occupies more than seven inches the
excess of ground occupied has to be paid
for by the party using 1t.

LAST year at this time I suffered with ire
mendous itching my back, which grew worse
and worse until 1t spread the whole body
and only my face and hands were free. For
four months I suffered the torments Of the
damned. and had to scratch, scratch scratch
until bled. At night when went to bed things
got worse. and had at times to get up and
scratch my body all over, until was as sore as
could be. and until I suffered excruciating pains
did not know what 1t was. and resorted TO
number Of blood purifiers, using at times also
Cuticura Soap. They told me then that was
suffering from eczema. Then I made up my mind
that I would also use Cuticura Ointment and
Cuticura Resovent. I used them according to in
structions, and very indeed 1 was greatly
relieved. I continued until well, and now / am
ready to recommend the Cuticura Remedies to
