1T SAVED MY LIFE
WRITES ECZEMA PATIENT
Bed-ridden Sufferer Completely Cured
by Use of D. D. External Wash.

One of the most remarkable Ecze-
ma cures recently credited to the
we'll known d. D. D. Prescription has
just been recorded in Chicago.
Mrs. z. Hegg, 1850 West Madison
street, under date of December g,
1907, writes as follows:
"I suffered three years with Weep
ing Eczema. It started with little
spot on my knees and spread fast
over my whole body. I spent hun
dreds OF dollars and went to every
good doctor | heard of, but kept
getting worse. Nothing would stop
the awful itch and burning.
Il had to stay in bed from the
middle of May to the middle of July,
Then tried D. d, D. Prescription.
This is the 9th Of December and l am
entirely free from the terrible dis
ease. D, D. d, saved my life,
"When began this treatment,
people were afraid of me looked so
terrible. My husband was the only
one who would take care OF me. D.
D. D. stopped the itch at once so I
could sleep, which / had not done
before. Then began to get bet
ter fast and now my skin is clear
and white, not a spot anywhere"
Just few drops Of D. D. D.

brings relief-nothing to swallow or

WANDERINGS A MYSTERY

New York, July l6.--A search Of many

suddenly and mysteriously as if the
earth had opened and swallowed her,
has ended at the little churchyard at
Canton, n. y.
There the body of the young matron
was buried in the presence OF her hus-
band and mother following her death
in a Pittsburg hospital last Monday.
The husband and mother had known OF
her illness and when death came they
took the body TO the little New York
town for burial before an intimation be-
came public that the long search for
her had reached an end.
Almost every corner of the earth had
been searched for Mrs. Hartridge. At

her relatives were rewarded with sue.

where she had been in the meantime has
not been learned Her health was in a
pitiable condition and from that time
until her death she was given the most
tender care. The immediate cause OF
death was cerebro spinal meningitis.
The disappearance OF Mrs. Hartridge
was reported to the police Oct. 5 last.
She was seen by members OF the family
early in the morning. October 3, when
she left her apartment in Central Park

her husbands seereatry that she would

in this city. The contents OF this letter
have never been made known. From
that moment no word of Mrs Hartridge

ON TEA.
Tea is Popular Maligned Article of
Diet.

One is always being warned against
tea as bad for the nerves, but one con-
tinues to drink it and seems none the
worse. We think tea must be malign-
ed to great extent. A survey cf the
customs of Russia has convinced us of
this. Russians drink tea which is com
posed of the stems of the plant cont
pressed by adhesive gum into cakes Of
various sizes at the rate of about TWEEN
w pints day. If human beings Gun
stand that sort of thing then we hold
that the ordinary tea consumed in Eng
land cannot do much harm. 1t is curious
how the success of ones day really de-
p nds on tea. The practice of taking
cup in the morning before breakfast
has become almost universal nowadays.
Ones state of mind for at least part
Of the day depends almost entirely on
whether this cup is of the right sweet
ness and temperature or not. Men
have done their best to break up hap
ny homes by exhibitions of matutinsl
temper, which might have been avoided
had their morning cup of tea been sat

that woman deprived of her afternoon

ELED CONVENT TO
RICH BROKER
Beautiful Alice Satterlee Later Faced
Angry Father and Was
Forgiven.

New YORK, July 16.-The elopsmsnt
of Miss Alice Kemp Satterlse, beau
tiful girl of 10, the daughter of Lon
don merchant, and Henry NJ. Burbank,
Chicago broker, was revealed when
the brides father, Frank Gwinne Sat
terlee, in a rage, appeared at the hotel
Aston, where the clippers had sought re-
fuge.
Miss Satterlee, two years ago, was
sent from her London home to con-
vent in Marseilles, France. Last sum-
mer she started on trip to America
with two aunts. They stopped at Chi
cago to visit relstives, and there the
girl met Burbank, who was 81 years
old and handsome.
1t was love at first sight. When the
young woman left Chicago the broker
followed and spent much time with her
in Pittsburg. The girls aunts, fearful
lest she might take sudden notion to
marry the dashing Chicagoan, hurried
ON with her to this city and escorted
her ON the earliest steamer back to
France.
Miss Setterlec, much against her in
clination was placed once more in the
Marseifies convent, from which she
later disappeared.
Papa Sstterlee received letter tell
ing him that his daughter had married
Burbank in Switzerland and that they
were enjoying their honeymoon at the
hotel Astor here.
Satterlee took the first steamer from
London. When he met his daughter she
threw herself into his arms, wept and
asked him to forgive her Satteflee
fumed while, then gave his forgive.
