COMMON SENSE VS.. STRONG

Simple Oil Of Winterereen Cures Ec'

Treatment.

If you were to hack your finger or
scald your arm, you would apply some
healing remedy as soon as possible,
wouldn't you?
That would be good common sense
and 1t would bring the quickest relief.
You surely would never think OF
drinking medicine or doctoring the
blood to cure surface affection.
It's Just the same principle with dis
eases of the skin. Eczema, psoriasis,
salt rheum and BARRIERS itch can be
cured and cured easily If you strike
right at the trouble as you do with a
cut or burn.
The cause Of itching, burning skin
diseases according to modern science
Is a germ which feeds upon the weak
er parts of the skin To kill these skin
bacili which produce the itching sores
and ugly red blotches, use the famous
prescription of oil of wintergreen ely
cerine and thymol, commonly known
as d. d. ID. Prescription. This mild
liquid was advocated by a prominent
skin specialist. DR.. Dennis of Chi
cago long before 1t was adopted gen
orally. This liquid is called u. D d.
Prescription. It is positive specific
for all skin diseases.

d. d. and vouch for it. Call at eur

DISTRICT ATTY

Makes Sweeping and Lengthy
Denial Of Charges
PROVIDED COPY FOR PAPERS
New York Prosecuting Officer Asserts
That Armstrong Insurance Invest.
CATION Revealed no Crimes.

ALBANY, N. Y, March 10.-Laden
down with three voluminous docu.
ments. making 400 pages in ALL Dis.
trict Attorney Jerome faced Governor
Hughes with complete and sweeping
denial Of the charges against him pre-
pared by Charles f. King. Mr.. King
and his attorney, franklin Pierce, were
also ON hand and intimated that they
had further charges up their sleeve.
The answer consisted of one volume
Of direct reply and two volumes of ex-
ceptlons. "You may say" said Mr.. Je-
rome, that the answer is sweeping
denial Of all Of the charges, some Of
which are described as 'mendaciOus'
and one of which say might well be
described by an uglier and shorter
word. In addition to my denial have
produced evidence from the records Of
the grand jury and many other official
sources to prove the falsity of the
charges made. These might have been
more fully expounded, but what have
filed think are sufficient to show the
mendacity of the complaint made to
the governor"
In explanation of the voluminousness
OF the brief Mr.. Jerome said In his adj
dress to the governor:
Coming as they did under your
privy seal gave the charges q certain
standing which has led me to dignity
them with full and complete answer.
| I have drawn up a reply as lawyer
and have adhered to legal form
throughout It,"
"Have you copies for the pressf"
asked the governor.
COPIES have been sent to some of
the papers," replied Mr.. Jerome. "In
my judgment it would be impossible
for any one, reporter or lawyer, to get
any clear Idea or what my answer con.
tains owing to the technical form In
which 1t has been presented before the
papers have gone to press, and l wish
ed to guard against any garbled or mis-
conceived impression getting before the
public"
Mr. Jerome and Mr.. King came up in
the same car on the Empire State ex-
press, but no conversation passed be-
tween them on the way to Albany.
There are twenty-three charges, each
of which is denied by the district at
torney. AS to appointments made In
his Office, he declares that he lnvesti-
gated the character, education and ex-
perience as lawyers Of all those whom
he placed in office and that no appoint
ments were made for personal or pO-
litical reasons. At the close of the Arm
strong investigation Mr.. Jerome says
he began an investigation Of matters
disclosed in the testimony before the
committee with view Of ascertaining
If any acts of a criminal nature had
been committed by persons connected
with insurance companies. From the
investigation of these Mr.. Jerome says
there was nothing to show that crime
had been committed.

KAISER HITS AT LORD ESHER
German Emperors Private Note to
Lord Tweedmouth Discussed in
Both House OF Parliament.

LONDON, March 10. - The govern
ment has decided TO keep private the
personal letter written by Emperor VIII
liam to Lord Yweedmouth. first lord OF
the admiralty, in which it was charged
by the London Times that his majesty
mad attempted to influence Legislation
in the matter of the naval estimates OF
Great Britain. How this decision,
which was announced in both houses
of parliament last night, will please the
country remains TO be seen. Since a. j.
Balfour, speaking for the opposition,
indorsed the policy Of the cabinet il
may he predicted that the public may
consider the incident closed.
The remark made by Lord R0sebery
that the nation was making itself ride.
ulous over this affair finds much sup
port The discussion was brief and
dry. All the participants proceeded as
if they were walking on eggs, for crit
lcism OF the ruler of another nation is
a delicate business. The fact that Lore
rweedmouth consulted with Sir Ed
ward Grey, the foreign secretary, be
fore replying TO Emperor Williams let
ter was the only new fact brought out
and il goes far to diminish the criti
cism of Lord Tweedmouth because i
relieves him of all suspicion of any
thing resembling disloyalty to the in
terests of the navy.
The character Of Emperor William:
letter is now generally understood. The
spciest passage Is believed to he th'
reference to Lord Esher-that he haC
better occupy himself with drainpipe'
and keep his hands off the navy. Lor,
Esher was engaged in improving thu
drainage system of Windsor castle
when Emperor William was there re
Gently.
An amusing feature of the affair Il
that all the sensational newspapers o
London are lecturing the Times for Ii
sensationalism in exploiting the story.
The suggestion which has been ad
yanced in several quarters that the In
cldent has had preiudicial effect ol
the relations between Great Britain
and Germany was warmly repudinte,
at the British foreign Office.

shells could have done their work.
In his statement Mr.. Stevens says
that the canal will not help the United
States I'm it's trade with South Ameri-
ca, as practically all of the inhabitants
of the southern continent are on the
east of the Andes. so that II would be
| of no advantage to make use of the ca
nal TO reach them.
Mr.. Stevens also says that In our
commercial relations with the Islands
Of the Pacific and the far east the ca
nal will be of little value. Our coal
and wheat centcrs are inland. Their
way by rail When once loaded ON
cars. it would not be cheaper to ship
to the. atlantic and then ship to the
east by way Of the canal than II would
be to send directly to the ports on our
Pacific coast and then get on board
ship.
Furthermore, Mr.. Stevens believes
that our coal supply is fast diminish.
ing and that China will be the coal
country for the future. Siberia, he
says, will be the wheat country of the
future, with India as close second.
Mr.. Stevens maintains that the Pana.
ma canal cannot hope TO become any.
thing other than an expense. 1t will
not meet expenses, and 1t will cost
more than is expected. 1t will be al
advantage, yes hut an advantage to

fixed as January, 1918.
