RATIONAL CURE FOR ECZEMA.
No More Dosing the Stomach-cure
the Skin Through the Skin.

When you have scratch ON your
hand you wash ii out and cleanse it
and then the skin cures itself. You
do not take blood medicine to cure a
festered wound.
The best skin specialists today are
agreed that the only way to cure the
skin is through the skin.
The fact that eczema is skin dis
ease and not blood disease is evident
from statistics which show that nearly
all eczema sufferers are perfectly
healthy in all other ways except as to
their skin. If the eczema patients were
really suffering from an inward NAL
ady. the entire body and not only the
skin would be diseased.
You can prove Immediately the relief
of true skin cure by using oil of win
tergreen as compounded in d. d. d.
Prescription.
This liquid attacks the disease germs
numbing them while building up the
healthy tissue of the skin. We have
now handled this meritorious and thor
oughly scientific remedy for SO long
and have seen its reliable result sc

confidence T. H. Thomas, druggist.

inland Waterways.

Illinois authorized at Tuesdays cleo
ton an is ne of $4,000, 600 in bonds
to complete the canal from Lake Mich
igan to the Mississippi river as its
portion of the Lakes to the Gulf pro.
ject. The people of that state realize
the need of waterways and they are
going about 1t in the right way TO get
them.
In the meantime Texas should net
let the agitation for improved water
ways die down. Beaumont wants 25
feet to the gulf. Denison wants the
Red river made navigable. Waco
is looking longingly toward the
Brazos. The whole state wants the
micronesia canal. These are some of
the first needs of this state in this
line.
The San Antonio Express opines
that If the state of Texas would take
an interest in the intercoastal canal
to the same degree that Illinois has
taken in its canal that the federal gov
eminent would promptly take the mat.
ter in hand and complete the work.
There is no dispurfng that such
canal would prove of inestimable value
to the coast country and would add
UNNECESSARILY to the value of the
whole state. A canal from the Sabine
to the Rio Grande once completed
would revolutionize industry in South
Texas and would have its effect on all
other sections OF the state. Large
cities would spring up; cities already
would grow and the mar
ket centers of the Southwest would be
changed so that the benefits would
accrue to Texas.

wHITE-feArHER STATESMEN.

in an able editorial on the carmack
tragedy, the Galveston News says:
Senator carmack was one of the
ablest and best-equipped public men
of the South. He had in him the ele-
ments of a great man, including that
sort of courage which dared to put
1t TO the touch to gain or lose 1t all.
The contest between him and Gov.
Patterson was a timely object lesson
for less able and much less courageous
leaders CD of the people of other
states. They lodged no issue. They
dared to come to the scratch and to
let the people know where they stood.
Their candor and courage actually re-
fleet upon public men of other states
who sport white, feathers as their
most conspicuous means of adorn-
ment."
That the News has reference, in
part, at least, to some of the public
men of Texas can scarcely be doubted
and their names readily suggest them
selves to the reader. One might infer
from the connection in which the
above paragraph is used that the News
imputes physical cowardice to the
"white-feather" statesmen, but this is
probably unjust. In civilized state,
however, it is not so much physical 'ss
moral courage that is demanded in a
leader of the people, and, with shame
but it confessed, some men now prom
inent in Texas public affairs have
shown themselves to be lamentably
deficient in this essential virtue Let
us console ourselves with the assur-
ance that the career Of these men will
be brief, for chivalrous people, such
as Texans are, honor courage and
have a contempt for the white-feather
statesman.
