DOCTOR USES D. D. D.

Liquid Prescription Is Certain
Certain Cure for Eczema.

Still another Eczema specialist
comes forward in enthusiastic praise
of d. D. D. Prescription, the wonder
full external remedy which cures
Eczema and other similar diseases
like magic. He is DR.. G. B. Holmes
Of Silver City, Miss, and in sum-
ing up his Impressions of the start

for four years with gratifying results

ETC. AS is QUININE FOR MA

DR.. Holmes is one of hundreds of
physicians who use D. D. D. in their
daily practice. The D. D. D. COM
pany allows physicians to use this
remedy with tie understanding that
they tell their patients what it was
that cured then, when the terrible
itch has been wiped out, the skin
healed and the raw wound covered
over with soft WHIT, skin. D. D. D.
is not nasty pa tie to smear the
skin and clothing. but it is a clear
liquid. 1t is advisable to use D. D. D..
soap in connection with D. D. D.
Prescription.
Is any further proof of the cura-

WORK FOR INDIVIDUALS.
How to Make a Town Attractive and
Wide Awake.

During the warm, summertime days
we experience in the spring our
thoughts turn mot lightly to things
rural We long for green fields, shady
hooks, the ripping brooks and singing
birds. Some of these charms are pres
ent about every town and village. and
if the place be clean and neat, the
streets well planted, foothill and can
yon not too far away. the springtime
proves a harvest. Many do not care
for the extremely dull monotony of our
seaside resorts and choose rather the
charms of the woodland and pasture,
green and fresh. Lucky the town
whose appearance attracts the summer
visitor
A large part of the responsibility for
attractiveness lies with the individual.
See that your hedge is trimmed, your
fence and gate in good repair and
neatly painted. Your sidewalk, wheth-
er cement or gravel (wood is scarcely
permissible), should be in good condi-
ton. The street and cutters in front
Of your property must be kept free
from weeds. paper and other rubbish,
and all such should be burned in the
yard, not in the street Cut your lawn
often, trim your trees and plants and
give all about you an "alive and up to
date" look. After you have done this
see what you can do to awaken a
neighborhood interest in improvement.
1t may be you can only organize a
"block beautiful club" or the move
ment may assume dimensions that
would warrant the formation of an
improvement society. Civic beauty is
an asset, civic ugliness q liability.
Which will you choose?
