ECZEMA 80 YEARS; SIMPLE CURE
Wintergreen Compound Stopped Itch
at Once. Disease Soon Disap-

P0ar0us
After dosing the stomach for years
and trying all kinds Of alleged cures
for eczema, Mr.. NJ. T. F'ir1nin. of Wich-
ita, Kansas, reports a perfect cure. He
simply washed the skin with an oil of
wintergreen compond, mixed with
thyinol. glycerine, etc.
Mr.. NJ. T. Firmin. for the last 20
years in the employ of the G. S. Dan
iels Furniture Co, of Wichita, Kans..
in the presence of Mr.. Higginson of
the Higginson Drug Co., made the
following statement:
eczema first appeared on my body
when l was child years of age. For
over thirty years I scratched and and
scratched and doctored. About the only
relief / got was from scratching. The
itching was so intense it simply drove
me wild.
About one year ago, the disease
covered my entire body from my scalp
to my toes. My doctor and my friends
all gave me up as incurable.
''Then I commenced using the ID. d.

plication stopped the horrible itching
and gave me q nights sleep 1t gave
me strength and new nope. continued
growing better every day. My whole
body being affected, I would some
times use the contents of one whole
bottle in a day.
II kept UP the treatment for months,
the eczema gradually leaving my body

EGG SUBSTITUTES CONDEMNED.

Milwaukee, Oct. 2S.-Egg substitutes

OCCIDENTAL WILL
HOLD HIGH links
FacuIty-Senior Baseball Game and
"Parade" of Fraternities Will
Tickle Funny Bones of
Students

The Occidental college student body
will turn out en- masse to witness the
baseball game this afternoon between
the faculty ami senior class.
The event has been planned to cele-
brate President Baer's birthday, and all
school duties have been declared off to
enable everyone to witness the
struggle.
The faculty team has held secret
PRACTICES for more than a month in or
der to put the evrlasting kibosh on the
ilnpertinent degree seekers, and the
walloping the seniors will get is ex-
rected to detail, them for an indefinite
period.
On the other hand the upper class
men declare that the main object of
their four years course has been to get
even with the mental magicians in just
this very way, and they are going into
the task with a fervor bred of long
expectation.
, Numerous attempts have been made
to give the exact lineup of players,
hut the nearest approach that can be
made to the exact statistics is too hu-
nlerous to mention. President Baer
will start the ceremony by tossing over
the first bail, but aside from this the
personnel of the players is a matter of
much conjecture.
Besides the game program of
"stunts" has been planned to fill in
between innings. The most important
of these will be the annual parade
of the Owl and Ape fraternities

COMMITTEE OPPOSES
GRANT OF FIREMEN'S PLOT
LAND MAY BE NEEDED FOR HIGH
SCHOOL PURPOSES
Controversy Is On Over Value of
Ground in City Cemetery Between
CounciImen, Volunteers
and Others

Chairman A. ]. wallace of the
finance committee of the city council
is opposed to the city turning over to
the Firemen's Relief society the cash
equivalent of the firemen's plot adjoin-
ing the high school property in the old
city cemetery.
The firemen's society's representa-
tives have asked the council to give
them the right to acquire lot in In
glewood cemetery in exchange for the
property, but if the city sells this land
Chairman Wallace argues it may be
sorry afterwards when the high
schools needs require additional build
ings.
The council recently named a COM
mittee to appraise the parcel of land
designated as the "Firemen's plot" on
the hill in the rear of the high school.
This parcel has a frontage Of about
1917 feet on the south side of Hill
street, near it's intersection with sun
set boulevard, and depth of about 115
feet The appraisers reported the
value of this land at $7SS7, the same
being at the rate of $66 per front foot
"The original idea in donating the
land was to give a burial place for
firemen who served the city as volun-
teers.' said Mr. Wallace. I'VE do not
furnish burial plats for paid firemen
policemen or other city employees now"

DELAY ACTION IN
UTILITY RATES
COUNCILMEN MEAN TO PLAY A
WAITING GAME
Equalization of Telephone Rates in
Favor of Home Company Is
Factor That Postpones
Decision

The city council will today take up
the settlement of the public utility cor
porations rates, effective in July, but It
is not likely that anything definite will
be done until later in March,
The law department has ruled that
as the council began making rates no
legal harm would ensue if the decision
was carried over into March, hence
most of the councilmen are awaiting a
fuller expression of public opinion.
The fact that the Home company is
paying a larger percentage into the
city treasury than the Sunset company
is one of the principal reasons why
phone rates so that the Home COM
pany should get better rate. Several
other new phases have arisen to make
an immediate decision unlikely.
The council at its last meeting took
the rate question under advisement.
Councilman Wren moved that ''the
evidence with reference to the various
utility companies as 1t comes from the
stenographers be referred to the city
attorney and city auditor and that they
compile the various figures so as to en-
able us to give proper consideration in
q reasonable length of time
Councilman Dromgold suggested an
amendment to the original motion.
which was accepted by Mr.. Wren, and
THAT the attorney and auditor COM
pile a summary of the evidence pre-
sented."
The motion as amended was adopted.
II is probable that the gentlemen s
agreement" over the light rates will
be ignored and lower rates fixed on
electricity for illumination purposes.
The following petition, however. will
probably be ignored as it is believed
tbot tho 6iffirl1ltV can he adjusted.
1--WE, the undersigned owners and
residents of Los Angeles and consum-
ers of electric light, petition that ord
nance No. 14,344 (New Series) be
amended i'm a manner that no electric
light company may be allowed to de-
mand payment for the use of electricity
by any consumer for more than one
month in advance, and further amend
said ordinance so that any electric
lighting company can make no charge
for installing electric meter or meters
or for making electrical connections;
and for cause of petition show,
'"That the Edison Electric company
is now making a demand for $12 a3-
vance payment for the use or electricity
where the connections are already,
made. and $50 i'm advance payment
where such connections are not made,
which said sum or sums appear 10
