Some physicians say eyes"

mean those scaly eruptions,
those diseases which make
their first appearance, not at

question that these forms of
eczema are durable.

tergreen, mixed with other
vegetable ingredients, will kill
the germs that infest the skin.
Apply this prescription to the
skin, and instantly that awful
itch is gone. The very moment
the liquid is applied, that agon-
izlng, tantalizing itch disap-
pears, and continued applica-
lions of this external remedy
soon cure the disease.
We carry in stock this oil of
wlntergreen properly COM
pounded into d. D. d. Prescrip-
ton. While we are not sure
that it will cure all those cases
of skin trouble which are in
herited, we positively know
that this D. D. D. Prescription,
whenever rightly used, will
cure every last case of genuine
eczema or other skin trouble,
which did not exist at birth.
We know this. Anyway you
yourself. will know that d. d.
D. Prescription instantly takes
away the itch the moment it is
applied to the skin. Rob't

proprietor of the Opera House
saloon, M. j. Fitzgibbon this
week sold the business to Emil

one of the finest saloons ever in
this city, and has always con-
Quoted it under the law made
andprovided as he understood it

good reputation as a saloon.

years, and is a gentleman of
fine appearance thoroughly
conversant with the business in
all it's particulars and he pro-
poses to conduct the Opera

worked like heroes, many times, alas,
to no avail, simply because they were
not organized, had no leader, and
worse still, nothing adequate with
which to fight. Now they are trying
to get hose and equipment. All Gov

The ProhibitiOnists.

DR.. Charles L. Collins, secre-
tary of the Tennessee Anti.
saloon League, who was to have
spoken at the Methodist Church
Tuesday night, was called else.
where, and Rev. DR.. Lawrence,
of the Coliseum Place Baptist
Church, Of New Orleans, spoke
in his stead.
The meeting was largely at
tended and all were very much
impressed with DR.. LaWrence's
lecturer His delivery is excel
lent and he is a very interesting
talker. He was preceded in his
address by Rev. J. E. Brake
field, pastor Of the First Bap-
fist Church, of Covington.
Mr.. Brakefeld reviewed the
business situation of the parish
and the effects of the money
stringency upon it's different in
terests, showing that the saloon
business was comparatively I'M
affected. That money needed
for legitimate business poured
into the Golfers of the liquor
dealers. That there were forty
five saloons in the parish feed
ing upon the earnings that
should support families, educate
children and assist business in
terests. He said that if the
saloons were good, keep them;
if not, do away with them. The
four larger saw mills of the par
ish would welcome their aboli-
ton for the benefit they would
derive through more reliable and
competent labor and the gen.
eral prosperity and social i'm
provement it would bring to the
employees.
DR.. Lawrence spoke of the
progress that is being made in
the temperance cause and of it's
benefits to the communities in
which prohibition had been
tried, and drew some very vivid
pictures in his illustrations of
the evil effects Of the sale of
liquor, and of the happiness,
contentment and prosperity that
followed it's adjustment.
The effects of DR.. Lawrence's
words will probably be the con-
version of some who were in
clined to doubt that prohibition
could accomplish what is claim
ed for it.
