HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA.
Oil Of WIntersreen, ThymoI, eIycer
Inc, Etc, Used as Simple Wash.

1t really seems strange that so many
people suffer year in and year out
with eczema, when it is now no longer
a secret that oil Of wintergreen mixed
with thymol, glycerine. ETC., makes a
wash that is bound to cure.
Old, obstinate cases, 1t is true, can
not be cured in few days, but there
is absolutely no sufferer from eczema
who ever used this simple wash and
did not find Immediately that wonder
fully soothing, calm, cool sensation
that comes when the itch is taken
away. Instantly upon applying few
drops of the wash the remedy takes
effect, the itch is alleged. There is no
need Of experiment-the patient
knows at once.
Instead Of trying to compound the
oil of wintergreen, thymol glycerine,
etc., in the right proportions ourselves
we are using prescription which is
universally found the most effective
1t is known as the D. =. D. Prescrip-
ton, or Oil Of Wintergreen Compound.
1t is made by the D. D. D. Co., of Chi
cago, and our long experience with
this remedy has given us great conf
dence in it's merits. McGrath Bros,

During the intervening time, how

that his condition became critical and
the doctors learned of the real trou-

man was hurt from his own lips.
His injury was confined to his hin

For some time he has been bedfast
unable to do anything Of an active
nature and the injured hip caused him
much pain. His leg was swollen about
three times its normal size.

THE Man from Home" is an Indiana
novelette, of equal parts heart interest
and native wit, emphasized by dash
of drama 1t is play home folk
and who says there are not the best
folk should thoroughly and honestly
enjoy.
Booth Harrington and Harry Leon
Wilson wrote the play, which is to be
presented at the Ebinger Grand, Fort
Madison, Friday evening, and from all
accounts both authors and managers
are to be felicitated on the result.
There is no claim made that 'eThe
Man from Home" is the great Ameri-

and would probably fail to recog-
nize should we get it-but 1t is mere

surely will be viewed with pleasure
and with profit.

RUGER ROLLINS
WINS A FARM
Popular Mail Carrier Was Successful
In the Drawing for Rosebud
100 Acre Tract.

One Keokuk man has won claim
IN the Rosebud drawing, Ruger Rol-
Inns, the mail carrier having been
lucky enough to have his namc drawn
out at Dallas and will have the 637th
pick of the 5000 claims.
Another Lee county man, Louis
Kloth OF West Point won number
1922 in the drawing.
Out of the first 1900 names drawn,
keobuk gets but one claim, but there
are 1890 more chances yet for the
forty-odd Keokuk people who have
filed their applications.
According to the law Of averages,
II one Keokuk man gets a claim out
of each 1900, there are four more
Keokuk people yet to be lucky.

Another large Chicago firm had

the police station at this place at the
present and will be returned to the

that house comes to claim them. The
cases of the Chicago firm belong to
the Hollis and Duncan printing and
paper firm, one of the largest in Chi
cago. The cases contained samples
of paper bags, Irvine, cords, and ev-
cry article that house of this kind
carries.
The travelling men and their houses
seem to be sticking well together in
this and all other thefts and always
do everything in their power to To-
cate the thief. At present the officers
of this and other places are hot on the
trail of the man who represented
himself to be W. G. Black of the
Elder Pipe Co., and who registered at
the Hotel Keokuk under the name of
Sharp of Omaha.

dealer, depressing smile. Some of

when he thinks of the way he has
been duped.
He told me the other day that he
could hardly understand the rage that
possessed him against every petty lit

ed him. He said it was like the rage
of a waiter that he had noted one
afternoon at luncheon.

away, muttered with malevolent
