find Smith street, State street, New
Brunswick avenue and a few other
thoroughfares, but otherwise they are
left entirely in the dark. They hear
about something happening in Kear-
ny avenue, Lewis street, Buckingham
avenue or Kirkland place and per-
on a Sunday afternoon start out
to see if they can find the locality.
They might as well stroll through a

Transient visitors coming here to
find a party have to be led almost to
the house they want to find, for to
tell them that their friend lives on

SKIN SUFFERERS FIND A CURE.
Science Comes to Their Relief With
Il Notable Discovery in This
Age of Germ Research.

Scientists have at last found how
to conquer skin diseases. For gen
e~rations medical men have been eX-
perimenting with internal treatment
to cure eczema, but the progress in
the germ theory has shown that the
old-fashioned medical schools were
on the wrong track.
AS it Is now known thai eczema,
psoriasis, saldt rheum, ringworm and
all kinds of rashes are caused by
germs which lodge in the skin, the
best skin specialists have come TO be-
lieve that the skin can be cured only
through the skin. The application
externally of oil of wintergreen' mix
ed with soothing ingredients, strikes
right at the germs and destroys tnem
effectually. Properly mixed tnis
makes Il powerful wash, yet so lnIlu
and harmless that it can be used as "
gargle. This mixture Is prepared nc,
cording to the prescription OF a wen
known skin specialist, DR.. Decatur ~
Dennis. 1t is compounded IN Cnl-
cago. and has been sold for years by
druggists under the label OF d. ID. u.

prescription applied to the skin gives

REFORM NOT COMPLETE.

Governor Stokes is not going to al
low the legislature to place him in
a hole before the people of the state.
There is a movement on foot to fix
a limit for the introduction of new
bills and then not adjourn sine die
until at least five days after the last
of the passed bills have been in the
hands of the governor. This would
be excellent if the legislature was
passinb bills in an orderly and intelli-
gent manner and was handing them
on to the governor one after the 9th
er all through the session. But it
seems the legislators want to carry
their proposed reform only half way.
They would put a stop to the COVER
nor making laws or refusing to do SO
as he sees fit, but they Insist upon
saving the great bulk of bills until
tho closing hours for final action and
then dump several hundred of them
upon the governors desk at once. 1t
will be impossible for the governor
to give these proper attention in five
days and he has very properly told
the legislature so.
BY passing It great batch of bills
and then adjournlng sine die, the
legislature relinquishes its right to
pass a measure over the governors
veto and thus the governor alone
becomes the law-making body of the
state. This Is wrong. Let the bills
be passed or rejected within a reason
able time after their Introduction
and then handed up to the governor
and the evil will be eliminated. The
legislature is on the right track in
this matter, only it has not gone far
enough. Give us the other half OF
the reform and all will be well.
