FOR PIMPLES, TOO

New Discovery Cures Eczema and
Eradicates Minor Skin Troubles
Overnight.
A few months ago the dispensers
of poslam, the new discovery for
the cure of eczema, decided to al
low the druggists of the country
to handle it. Previous to that time
1t could only be obtained direct
from the laboratories.
Since this change in the method
of distribution, poslam has met
with the most phenomenal success
of anything introduced to the drug
trade in the last 80 years. All
leading druggists, including Muir
gittroyd's and Ritter's Drug Store
In Spokane are now carrying the
special so cent size recently adopt
ed. also the 81 jar.
This great success is not sur
prising when it is remembered
that, in eczema cases, poslam
stops the itching with first appli-
cation, proceeds to heal immedi.
ately. and cures chronic cases in
few weeks. In minor skin trou-
bles. such as pimples, blackheads,
acne. herpes. blotches, rash, etc,
results show after an overnight
application. Experimental SAM
pies of poslam are sent to anyone
by mail free of charge, by the
Emergency Laboratories, 80. West

TORONTO, Can, Dec. 29.-Or-
dinarily there is nothing unusual
about an Indian brave marrying,
but when redskin who is an in
ternational celebrity because Of
his marvellous ability as a runner,
wins his bride in speed contest
and arranges to wed her in pub
lie, the unusual creeps to the sur
face.
Tom Longboat, famous long dis
lance runner and conqueror of
Dorando Pietri, the Italian racer
who beat Johnny Hayes the Mara
thon distance in New York recent
ly, welded Miss Loretta Miracle at
the Church of st. John the Evangel-
list, Toronto, last night. The bride
was given away by her brother,
who is an Indian chief.
Longboat is an Onondaga from
the Brantford reservation, in west
ern Ontario. His bride is a Mo-
hawk from the Deseronto reserva-
ton, 500 miles to the east.
In the past the tribes were dead
ly enemies, but now the chiefs sit
together in peace councils. These
councils are marked by extensive
games, the dearest to the heart of
the Indian being those of speed and
endurance.
After Tom Longboat's return
from the Olympian games he was
elected chief of the Onandagas
and visited the Mohawk reserva-
ton as delegate. His fame had
Travelled before him, and when
pretty Loretta Miracle, daughter of
Chief Big Thunder saw him, she
promptly fell in love with him.
Longboat, known among the
tribesmen as big Canoe" was
smitten by the dark eyes of the
Mohawk beauty and was not slow
to press his suit. But Loretta was
coy. She desired to be wooed in
the traditional style, and owning a
swift pony challenged the Mara
thon runner to a race.
Longboat accepted, agreeing to
catch his inamorata within an hour
after she rode off the reservation.
The event was the feature of the
gathering.
That hours run will not go down
in athletic history as a record, but
1t is said that the conquererof Do
rando had to cover 10 miles across
rough country before he overlook
the pony and its burden.
Upon returning to the reserva
ton the couple plighted their
troth before the assemblage. In
terest in the big race with Doran
do caused the public to forget the
approaching nuptials.

The pernicious custom of loan
ing money to workmen at usurious
rates of interest has met its just
deserts in the state Of Massachu-
sets through the enactment of
recent state law. Many OF the
technical journals have expressed
their belief in this new law In
very strong terms, as may be OBJ
served in an editorial appearing in
The Iron Age, which says:
THE hardest blow that has
been dealt to the practice of loan
ing money with assignment OF
wages as security is that en-
bodied in recently enacted Mas
sachusetts law, which provides
that no assignment of wages shall
be valid unless approved by the
borrowers employer. and, If the
borrower is married, by his wife
as well. 1t is believed that this
act will practically put stop to
an evil which has been serious.
"Workmen have placed them
selves in the hands of usurers,
rates of interest being so high that
it has often been impossible to
make any impression on the prin-
cipal, which may increase indefi-
nitely. Employers have been
seriously annoyed by the practice,
for in spite of posted announce
ments that an assignment shall be
considered as satisfactory cause
for dismissal, employees have per-
sisted in taking the chance, ex-
pecting to meet the obligation be-
fore it becomes necessary for the
lender to present the assignment
to the employer.
In Massachusetts this practice
was given almost quietus by
compelling the recording of as
signment in order to make them
binding; but other states have not
gone that far. The greatest pro-
lection of all lies in the necessary
cooperation of the employer in
order to make an assignment
valid. If he sees that the loan is
necessary he may permit it, with
the consent of the wife of the
borrower But it is safe to say
that such cases will be rare. Prob
ably an advance in wages would
be fully as likely an outcome of
the employees application at the
Office
The protection to the workman's
family is also very good thing,
in that it may curb extravaganza
and extreme improvidence. Money
lenders of the stamp who adver-
tise extensively that they loan
money without security will be
seriously handicapped in their
operations under the law. 1t is al
ready strongly apparent that Mas
sachusetts has been rid of the
greater number of the class, and
that the cities of adjacent states
have increased their quota of
usurers proportionately."
