the Skin Through the Skin

When you have scratch on your
hand you wash It 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 skin.
The. fact that eczema is a skin d.
sease AMI not blood disease is evi>
dent from statistics which show that
nearly all eczema sufferers are per-
fectly healthy in all other ways except
as to their skin. II the eczema pa
tients were really suffering from ap
inward malady, the entire body and
not only the skin would he diseased.
You can prove Immediately the re-
lief of true cure by using oil Of
wintergreen 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 merftor>
ious and thoroughly scientific remedy
for so long and have seen it's reliable
result so many times that we freely
express our confidence.-Pau1 ". Nc

THE YEARS DEFTCIr.

There seems now no possibility that
the federal government can end the
current fiscal year with a deficit OF
less than 55 million dollars. Since Oc-
tober 1t has been running behind at the
rate of about eight millions month,
and the adverse balance reported for
March, $S,615,036, brings the deficit thus
far up above IS millions. AS a rule,
to be sure. this last quarter of April,
May and June shows an increase in
the income and a decrease In expendi-
ture. But this years financial condi-
lions offer little promise of a recovery
in importations, in the duties on which
there has been loss Of more than q
million dollars already. 1t is not, how
ever, the loss in revenue that is re-
sponsible for this years big deficit;
for the expenditures so far show an
increase over those of last year that is
20 millions more than the deficit now
reported.
And the news dispatches come from
Washington telling of a hundred mill
lion dollars being appropriated for the
army, another hundred million for the
navy and millions on millions for this
and for that governmental undertake
ing. Is it not time to call halt some
where?
