SKlNiDISEASEECURE IN A SIMPLE
WASH.
Germs That Cause Agony and
Suffering Are Easily Destroy
ed and That Awful Itch Is
Gene,

Germs cause skin disease. Real
skin diseases are local affections
purely, not necessarily affecting the
general health of the patient. The
germ fastens itself only on the skin,
and eats its way wherever the cuticle
is weak.
To treat these diseases by throwing
drugs into the stomach is now being
recognized as an error, and doctors
who keep up with the latest scientific
thought and who are free from preju-
dice against anything that they them
selves have not discovered, treat skin
disc, ses EXTERNALLY.
DR.. Decatur D. Dennis was one of
the foremost who recogu zed how
eczema germs cause that awful itch.
His prescription for dandruff and all
other sorts of rash in years a d years
of practice proved so effective that it
attracted attention beyond the prac-
tice of the physician. To give ALL
skin sufferers The benefit of this
valuable prescription company was

what has become known as SD. D. D.

And here they laid you in the dust,
With rent prayer and hymn.
The deWs of time your swords might

Your bayonets turn dim,
But none might set the secret free
That sealed your tomb with mystery.

Above the honored graves

And hail as valiant braves,
Revealing on each stone the name
OF some bold spirit dear to fame,
Our fairest flowers, our tend'rest tears

OPEN DOOR TO STATE
AID FOR IMMIGRANTS.

William E. Curtis Correspondence
of the Chicago Record-Herald.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-Under the
instructions of the president, the of
fcials of the immigration bureau are
hereafter to give the broadcast pos
erning the admission of aliens, In or
der to divert new arrivals SO far as
possible into the southern and west
ern states. instead OF allowing them
to settle down in the overcrowded
sections of New York and other cit
les. The key to the new policy is
found in an opinion recently prepar-
ed by Charles Eearle, solicitor of the
department of commerce and labor,
with the approval of Secretary
Straus, legalizing the importation of
800 or more Belgians to work In the
cotton mills and on the plantations
of South Carolina.
Mr. Sargent, the commissioner of
immigration, will renew his recon-
ihCnudtioh " Soh6iCoo lOi eit Sosip

reaus of information at Ellis Island,
at which newcomers may learn the
exact localities where labor is need
ed how to get there, what they will
find to do, the wages they may exS
pect. cost of living and other facts
necessary to enable them to make
up their minds whether the country
will suit them. Secretary Straus is
much interested in this subject and
will encourage the officials of the
different states, particularly in the
South and give them every oppor-
tunity possible under the law to turn
the tide of immigration in that direc-
ton.
Notwithstanding SO much immigra-
ton, although more than 100000
aliens arrived at our ports last year,
there is scarcity Of labor in every
part of the country, even in the Ha-
waiian islands. The greatest demand
comes from the south Atlantic and
gulf states and the Pacific coast. In
California, Washington and Oregon
many enterprises are arrested by the
lack of workmen. Ordinarily labor
commands SO and "a day, mechan-
les are paid $40 day in SanFrancis-
co and some forms of skilled labor as
high as $3.50 a day. Coachmen are
paid $75 and so a month; cooks, but
lers and house servants $50 and $50
a month, besides board and lodging,
and women servants $35 and $40
month. Even with those wages serv-
ants Of every kind are scarce.

The secretary believes, however,
that the change was in the interest
OF the public. Railroad building was
stimulated by a cancellation of the
old contract and a grant of perpetual
franchises to the company for extern
sions which brought the mileage up
to 205. Under this arrangement the
road was to pay III per cent of its
gross earnings In lieu of taxes for
thirty years.

passage OF an act by congress in
1905. which authorized the Philip

MAN THE COAST DEreNsEs.

The government has expended $73.-
100000 on its coast Notifications. To
provide one shift OF men for all the
coast defenses now completed or
under construction there would be
needed $4,000 enlisted men. The
number OF enlisted men now author
ICED in the coast artillery is only
10000, and the number OF men actu-
ally in the service is only a little
over 1000.
In other words, the government
has a plant, but 1t doesn't have the
men to run it. II war should break
out 1t would be necessary at the very
least to quadruple the number OF
men In this service on the spot. But
that Is easier said than done. About
two-nfths of the men in coast artil-
lery are classified as experts and for
these training of from one to three
years is regarded as necessary.
Whatever may be thought Of great
expenditures on offensive military
equipment, no one will deny. SO long
AS foreign nations have fleets and
armies, that our coast defenses are
worth all they cost us. Not only dc
they preserve the enormous wealth
OF our coasts from destruction, but
as President Roosevelt pointed Out
In his special message on the coast
defenses last spring. they leave the
navy free for the work for which II
was designed, when otherwise the
warships would have to be massed
along the coasts to do as well as pos
sible the work Notifications ought tc
be doing.
There is now pending before con
gress bill to separate the coast ar
tillery from the field artillery and tc
increase the strength of the coast
artillery by 5,043 men, bringing the
maximum enlisted strength up to 10,
321. 1t is modest enough bill
Nearly all Of the men who would be
added by it would be needed for oper
| ating mines, power plants and search
| lights. The bill also provides an in
crease of pay for experts in the
service to the number OF about ter
to each company, and for certain
changes in organization which will

1t is q bill which should be passed
