1t is gratifying to note the manner in
which LincoIn's birthday was celebrated
throughout the country on Wednesday.
There was not much Of public holiday
Of the occasion, on which kind OF a
holiday everybody suspends work and
goes in for personal pleasure. Rather
was It a sober consideration Of the sig
nifcance Of the day, with no distracting
influences to turn the mind from the
point; and under such conditions the
real spirit of patriotism is best fostered.
Next year, when the one hundredth an
niyersary Of the martyrs birth is cele-
brated. there should be grand observ-
ance, and it is none too early to start
the movement.

Banker Describes
Sure Cure for
Skin Diseases

A prominent Chicago banker recently
gave a talk to some friends during the
bankers convention that they said was
more valuable than anything they heard
at the meeting. Speaking OF the lisbil-
ity OF business men to contract skin dis
eases, owing to their ~sedentary habits
and frequently disordered stomachs, he
said: Now you may think you get &C.
zema, letter. salt rheum. etc. from hand
ling soiled paper money. and perhaps you
do sometimes. However, you get it, it's
generally hard to cure. and that Is why
I want you to know about this new treat
ment. It's simply a new use for a we'll
known drug called citrox. You dissolve
a teaspoonful OF pure powdered citroN In
two tablespoons hot water and battle the
diseased skin in the solution 20 minutes
at a time twice a day. The solution must
be used warm and made fresh each time,
II you are careful 10 get the pure drug
In sealed packages. Just as IL comes from
the chemical works. and use It az / said,
you can cure any case OF eczema or tet-
ter you ever saw. 1t stops the itching
right away and dries up the eruption In
q short time"
