NIP PED BY FROST
Fruit and Tender Garden Truck
Gets Setback and in Some
Cases is Killed.
TEMPERATURE REACHES 81
North Wind Stays With Us and Pre-
diction Is Made That There Will
Be Freeze Again Tonight.

Exposed vegetation and fruit buds
susceptible to moderate freeze got
it last night, and considerable dam
age is the result. according to the
best authorities. Clear skies and lack
OF wind rendered conditions ideal for
the frost to do its worst and the tenn
perature went down to 81 degrees.
There is some consolation. however.
in the fact that week of cold wealth
er had somewhat acclimated growing
things and the injury will probably
be less severe than had the freeze
been sudden. On the other hand
there is cause for further alarm in
the north wind which today prevented
much of rise in temperature and
caused another frost to be predicted
for tonight.
Garden truck suffered very little
Tomatoes that have been set out and
were not covered were killed, as were
beans that were through the ground.
Potatoes where up, were frozen down
to the surface, but will come up again.
OF the other plants that are growing
at this time of year nearly all will
stand considerable freeze.
Half Cherries Killed.
The public is more interested in
fruit, which, according to Samuel Lor-
ton of Davenport, formerly one of the
|proprietors of the Nichols & Lorton
nursery and now owner of large
fruit farm, has not escaped unscathed
though it is impossible to accurately
estimate the damage now. Cherries
Mr.. Lorton believes, will be but hall
a crop. Pears are injured but not Sc
verely. Peaches have come through
best of all and are hurt little if any
on the higher ground. Plums and
apples will suffer. Small fruit has
escaped because not sufficiently pro
crossed to feel the effects.

ECZEMA NOW DURABLE.
All Itching Skin Diseases Which Are
Not Hereditary Instantly ReIiev-
ed by Oil of Winterareen.
Can eczema be cured?

Can eczema be cured!
Some physicians say Yes"
Some say mo-"
The real question is, what is meant
by eczema?" If you mean those scaly
eruptions, those diseases which make
their first appearances not at birth, but
years afterward, and perhaps not until
middle age-then there can no longer
be any question that these forms of
eszema are durable.
Simple vegetable oil of wintergreen,
mixed with other vegetable ingredi-
ents, 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
lis applied, that agonizing, tantalizing
itch disappears, and continued appli-
cations of this external remedy soon
cure the disease.
We carry in stock this oil of winter
green properly compounded into D. D.
d. Prescription. While we are not
sure that it will cure all those cases of
| skin trouble which are inherited, we
positively know that this d. d. d. Pre-
lscription, 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. your.
lself, will know that D. D. D. Prescrip-
ton instantly takes away the itch the
moment it is applied to the skin. T..
I II. Thomas. Stop that itch today
instantly. Just call at our store and
try this refreshing and soothing liquid;
also ask about D. D. d. Soap.

his arms and legs spread abroad, his
head doubled sideways in a horribly

two more looked carefully over the in
