CASE OF ECZEMA IN SOUTH.

Suffered Three Years-Hands and

''My wife was taken badly with ecze.

doctor with no effect at all until she
employed Cuticura Soap and Ointment
One of her hands and her left eye were
badly affected, and when she would
stop using Cuticura Soap and Ointment
the eczema came back, but very slight

we used the entire set of Cuticura Rem

TARIFF WAR IMPENDING.

Less than three months remain be-
fore the German maximum tariff rate

ucts. unless the German government
will again extend the time. We know
that conferences are being held in
Washington between Secretary Root
and Mr.. North. director OF the cen
sus. who was head Of the commits

an agreement. and now Baron Won

so matters must be coming TO a eli
max. Il is announced that 1T has
been made l,iain TO Secretary Root
that owing TO internal political condi-
tons in Germany the government OF
that country canno renew the order
now in effect extending % American
products the benefits OF the mini
mum tariff rates" But probably some
other basis will be found for a new
agreement, as IL is evident that Ger
many has nearly as much TO lose as
we have by shutting u our meat
and breadstufs. the prices OF which
are abnormally higher in the Ger
man empire. When congress meets
next December the stand-pat leaders
may be as stif necked as the Ger
man pro~tectionists in trying to pro
hibit importations. and then will
come the tug Of war. Either we must
reduce our tariff rates on enough ar
ticles to make It desirable for Ger
many TO allow us her minimum tariff
rates or minimum rates must be
adopted. and the present rates would
be our maximum rates. The plan OF
the stand-patters to make the present
rates the minimum and add 20 per
cent. for maximum rates would force
Germany and other countries TO put
in effect their maximum rates. When !
