WRITES ECZEMA PATIENT
Bed-ridden Sufferer Completely Cured
by Use of D. D. D. External Wash.

One of the most remarkable
Eczema curess recently credited to the
well known D. D. D. Prescription has
just been recorded in Chicago.
Mrs. f. Hegg, 1850 West Madison
street, under date Of December 9,
1907, writes as follows:
Il suffered three years with Weep.
ing Eczema. 1t started with little
spot on my knees and spread fast
over my whole body. | spent hun
dreds of dollars and went to everv
good doctor | heard of, but kept get.
ting worse. Nothing would stop the
awful itch and burning.
u had to stay in bed from the
middle of May to the middle of JuIv
Then | tried D. d. D. Prescription
This is the 9th Of December and I
am entirely free from the terrible
disease. D. D. D. saved my life.
When | began this treatment, peo
pie were afraid of me | looked so
terrible. Ny husband was the only
one who would take care of me-
D. D. D. stopped the itch at once so
! could sleep, which | had not done
before. Then / began to get better
fast and now my skin is clear and
white, not spot anywhere"
Just few drops Of D. D. D. Pre-
scription applied to the skin brings
relief-nothing to swallow or drink.
We vouch for D. D. D. Prescription,
also the cleansing D, D. Soap, Chas.
Rogers & Son, druggists. Get bottle
today if you have any skin disease.
Begin your cure at once.

William junior had been cautioned
BY his mother not to do number Of
things, too many for brief mention
but all very dear to him, and he had
promised. However. after dinner his
mother, happening to look out Of an up.
stairs window. saw him In the midst
Of transgression and reserved the
matter In her memory.
That evening she detained William
BY her knee and questioned, as moth.

Have you been a good boy all day,

MEETING A CROCODILE.
The Animal and the Hunters Were kil
Taken by Surprise,

While looking for hippopotamus II
was the fortune Of the author Of
uganda to Khartum" TO encounter D
crocodile under somewhat unusual cir
cumstances. He was following a fresh
track leading through the dense under
growth from the lake inland. Two
men accompanied him. one carrylns
bis camera and the other his second
gun, while he shouldered his rifle.
Suddenly heard n rustlIng noise In
front OF me and realized that some
creature was approaching but what
II could not be the hippo. because there
was no thunderous tread. but had no
time to think. for the creature, what.
ever 1t might be, was upon me In q sec.
ond.
At two yards discovered what II
was-an immense crocodile more than
twelve feet long.
I was right In its path. and there was
no possible escape on either side, 30
stood still with my rife at shoulder
and waited. The ''crock" did not walt,
however and In some remarkable way
It hustled me to one side, almost knock.
ed me over, and erdeavored to make his
way to the water
To dispute hiG right of way would
have been folly. realized only a hor
rible, soft, wriggllng mass pressing
against my legs in most sickenlng
way. Why be did not bite me do not
know. At first thought he had done
so as he brushed against my leg, but
found II was only his horny scales that
scraped my shin. And he was more
taken by surprise than was and for.
got all abou. his huge jaw and the
lasting impression he might have made
upon my legs.
After he had passed turned to see
now the men would fare. Ons had got
back to the shore and so was no longer
In view. The other man with the cam.
era was the funniest sight. His head
was stuck fast In the thick brambles,
and his legs were In the air, the cam
era Of course In the mud beside him.
do not think the "crock" could have
seen him, for he had literally taken a
header into the bush, and bis legs were
Tar above the crocodle's jaws.

Cultivatins the Power Of Observation.
How many seed compartments are
there in an appleY he asked. No one
answered. And yet" continued the
school inspector. "all of you eat many
an apple In the course of a year and
see the fruit every day probably. You
must learn to notice the little things in
nature"
The talk of the inspector impressed
the childIen. and at recess the teacher
overheard them discussing 1t. A little
girl, getting her companions around
her, grayely said:
"Now, children, just suppose | am
Mr.. Robinson. You've got to know
more about common things. II you
don't, you'll all grow up to be fools
Now, tell me, Maggie" she continued
looking sternly. at a playmate, "how
many feathers are there on hen?"-

The following cheerful letter is
among the appreciated and welcome

reaching this city, almost daily, from
sources beyond her gates and Is given
in full because OF its belief in the
