SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Itching. Burning Skin Disease Routed With.
out Use Of Injurious Drugs.

Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets of
their discoveries. Practically the
same thing happened in the medical
world in the case of DIR. Decatur ID
Dennis. the eminent skin specialist of
Chicago.
DR.. Dennis, in his own Office prac-
tice, discovered that pure vegetable
oil of wintergreen. properly mixed
with other simple remedies was prac
tically sure specific for eczema,
psoriasis. barber's itch, salt rheum.
and other itching skin diseases. But
the oil of wintergreen alone was
found ineffective. 1t required other
mild ingredients such as glycerine
and thymol compounded with the
wintergreen to produce the real &C.
zema cure.
This compounded ID. d. ID. Pre-
scription positively takes away the
itch at once the instant it is applied
to the skin. This vegetable LIQUID
does away with deleterious drugs SC
long used in an attempt to doctor
the blood, whereas modern science
has determined that eczema is first
and all the time skin disease.

Toy Trade Nerds Prosperity.

Consul II. w. Harris advises that
a Nuremberg journal recently print
ed an article on the effect which the
prevailing business condition is hav-
ing on the German toy industry.
1t Is stated that of total product
of German toys In 1907, estimated
worth $4,000, 900, about $4,000
900 worth were exported. OF this
trade the United States and England
took more than half Financial
stringency In both countries. 1t Is
stated, has already caused marked
falling off in shipments to them,
showing that this branch of German
trade is in marked sense depen-
dent upon prosperity abroad.
In January, 1908, the exports OF
toys from Germany to the United
States amounted TO SEQ tons, as
against 904 tons in January, 1907.
The export to England for January,
1908, were 3S7 tons. as against 625
tons in the corresponding month of
last year, or total decrease In the
two countries of 5S2 tons. A some.
what similar decrease Is also noted
In toy shipments TO Belgium. British
India. the Argentine Republic, Bra
I'll and Canada, while exports to
France, Austrla-Hungary, Russia
and Switzerland show increases.

on railway trains.
The block systems, lnterblockins

of the steam road are either not used
or exist In modified form with econ

tations. there are many stretches OF

exists OF effective competition with
the steam roads In securing public
patronage. The cars are run az

Ave miles an hour Is not infrequent
on limited trains which stop only
at larger towns.
The result Is sure. The distress
ing accident between Charleston AMI
Mattoon in this state il recalled. The
experience near Ypsilanti shows the
danger. A collision on a curve be-
tween a limited car running fifty
miles an hour even in such place
and a local car bound In the other
direction had It's inevitable results.
Such things are liable 10 happen up-
on any lntenrbau line. II Is clear
that more attention must be paid 20

roads or there will be an Increasing
number OF bad accidents.
The popularity OF the electric
cars for country travel will be less

II they hope to compete with the

latter or modified forms demanded
by changed conditions must be pro-
yided. A careful system OF dis
patching, prudent set Of motor

for municipals as a class. The re-
suits of the Philadelphia and Pitts
burg offerings, both of which oc-
Cured within the last ten days, are
particularly illuminative of the
point in question. Philadelphia OBJ
tainei for its per cent bonds 104,-
29s, a price representing about 3.76
per cent basis, whereas a year ago
1t was able to obtain but 100.27, a
price representing a basis of 1855
pcr cent. Last May Pittsburg sold
Its bonds also at 100.27 but a re-
cent offering brought prices which
ran well above 104, the best re-
ceived In several years.
1t Is natural. In view of the pres
ent situation, that the number OF
municipal bond offerings now being
made is much larger than usual at
this time of the year. Municipali-
ties all over the country are taking
advantage of the change in attitude
OF the investing public to supply
themselves with funds for the i'm
provements which were held up dur
ing 1907 because bonds could not be
sold on any but the most expensive
basis.
Bond men explain the present con-
ditions In the municipal market by
the fact that, as pointed out few

Power Transmitted by steel BELTS


Consul Frank s. Hannah of Mag
deburg writes that in q recent issue
of q German technical paper the use
of steel bands to take the place of
leather betting for the transmission
of power is stated to have proved
practicable after repeated tests by a
firm In Charlottenburg, its advan-
tages being given as follows:
The. points OF superiority claimed
for this new method for the trans
mission OF power are the following;
On account of its solidity a much
narrower band can be used, one
sixth of the width of the usual ieath-
l.er band being sufficient; as q result
OF this the steel band Is not so heavy
as the leather band, as, as II can be
very tightly adjusted, the distance
between the engine and the machine
is not a matter of Importance, as Is
the case with the leather betting.
where the transmission OF power Is
dependent upon the weight of the
hanging belt; by a unique contact
the slipping Is much reduced. experi-
ments having shown that this does
not exceed one-tenth of / per cent.
Careful and repeated experiments
have shown that the entire loss OF
power IL very small, and as far as
1 can be ascertained will not exceed
" ner cent. Further. owing to the
iightness OF weight OF the steel belt
