How a Flea Jumps.

II is said that flea leaps 200 times
its height, and while it usually does
land on its feet, It often falls. especial
ly when It falls an perfectly smooth
surface, where the claws can get only
a slight hold. A flea has six legs.
whose great length and bulk make
them so heavy that they must be a
great help in keeping their owner
right side up and when ii makes one
Of those gigantic jumps! and when it
lands upside down. or in some other
way, its ability to kick is so great
that not more than one wriggle is
needed TO set things right A fiea's
wings are mere scales. and Of no use;
but small and worthless as they are
they tell the eatomologist something
about the proper classification Of the
insect To the flea itself they have no

DOCTOR THE ITCH WHERE THE
ITCH is.
Don't Dose the Stomach to Cure
Eczema and Other Skin Diseases.

Those afflicted with Eczema, psoria-
sis, salt rheum, or other skin diseases
Of a similar nature. should never dose
the stomach TO rid themselves Of the
terrible itch. They should doctor the
itch where the itch is-cure the skin
through the skin, not through the
stomach.
Eczema and other diseases of a
kindred kind are skin diseases-not
blood diseases. Science has shown
that Eczema is caused by germs in
the skin, and that the disease can be
eradicated only by killing the germs.
DR.. Decatur D. Dennis was one of
the first physicians to follow out the
germ theory in skin diseases. Then
he discovered that by mixing oil OF
wintergreen with other soothing
agents he had a liquid prescription
which killed the germs and cured the
awful itch, leaving the skin white and
smooth. Since that time this d. d. D..
Prescription has been the standard
remedy for skin diseases, just as d.
D. D. soap is the standard high grade
skin soap.
The first few drops of d. d. d. give
instant relief from the terrible itch
and from the frightful burning OF the
diseased skin. SO reliable is this d.
D. D. remedy that hundreds of physi-
clans prescribe it, 1t is a wash as
thin as water and as mild and as
pure, which is applied to the diseased
portion OF the skin.
Mrs. Frances Richmond of Milton.
Trimble county, Kentucky, writes;
MY little girls fingers were sore
almost to the bone from Eczema. J
used part of the sample bottle Of ?.
D. D. Prescription received from you
and now they are well. II is a won
derful skin remedy"
We carefully investigated this D. Z.
p. Prescription before recommending
il to our neighbors and patrons, and
after a long experience we are more
than ever convinced of it's wonderful
merits.
HERMAN c. SCHUH.
You needn't decide now. but call
at our store anyway and we viii show
you how this d. d. d. Prescription
gives instant relief from itch.

Nillana OF rencans.

On the lower course of Casamance
river in West Africa exists what a
French writer has described as a vii
lage of pelicans" The birds have been
so merciessly hunted that they avoid
the presence Of man, but in the neigh
borhood of their village they show
comparatively little fear. There are
even native African huts under the
enormous baobab trees in which the
birds have established their com
munity. The nests are placed at the
ends OF branches. five or six in each
tree. Dry branches, rudely interlaced,
form an insecure looking platform COW
cred with thick layer of down. and
there the young birds laughingly big
and awkward in such a situation, may
be seen maintaining an unstable equi-
librium, vet never losing their bal
