EXTERNAL REMEDY FOR &c
ZENIA
WHY saIvcs Fail While Simple LtG-
IlId Has Accomplished Thous-
andS OF Cures.

1t is now thoroughly established
among the best medical authorities
that eczema is purely a skin disease,
due to the germ and durable only
through the skin. It IS not a blood
disease ut all; in fact thousands of
people suffer with skin disease and
are perfectly healthy otherwise. and
therefore prove they have no diseas-
ed blood.
Smeary salvcs cannot roach the
germs because they do not pene-
trate the skin. The only way to reach
the germs is by means of a penetrate
ing liquid.
Such a liquid can be obtained by
simply mixing ordianry oil of winter
green with thynol. ElycerIne and
other healing agents. This compound
known as D. d. d. Prescription stops
the itch instantly-and the cures all
appear to be permanent. In fact. 1t
took thousands of cures. case after
case, before tho hest scientific author
tiles were convinced of the absolute
merit OF this remedy. The effect OF
D. ID. D. Prescription in numbInE
the itching eczema germs is seen
within one minute after the first APP
plIcation. We especially recommend
ID. d. D. Soap in connection with this
treatment.

Nn-o-na is the only logical dyspep-
STA remedy on the market today. II
Is not a digester. 1t does not con-
tain a particle of pepsin. 1t cures by
building up the muscular walls of the
stomach, and making the stomach 50
strong and perfect that 1t is able
without artificial help to digest an or
binary meal with ease. and without
discomfort.
The experience of Mr.. Goodiel IS n
common one, and it is safe to say
that AIi-o-na tablets have cured more
acute and chronic diseases of the
stomach than any other medicine.
Wells s. Haymaker sells 1t at 80
cents a. box and guarantees 1t to cure
or money back

Exit the Maidstone.

Future commentators on The rise
Of civilization will note that as late
as 1905 madstones were in use in
the United States. Yet the Depart
ment OF Agriculture here in Wash
ington sends forth word that in
case of dog bite the bitten might
as well apply a blotter as a mad
stone TO the wound. Some mad
stones arc inherited and take rank
among the precious family heir
looms; others are bought for fancy
prices; still others, being in the
possession of dog bite professors,
are sought by persons who have
leased or fondled dogs to their sor-
row, and some of these afflicted ones
travel far to have the maidstone APP
piled. But they are twice bitten
who follow this course.
The Government experts would
have the maidstone relegated to it's
proper place, which is in the dump
pile. It's a fraud and a delusion.
It's a product of the so-calIed dog
days, term covering the humid
midsummer days when dogs, like
their owners, are apt 10 suffer lit
tie from the heat.
The fact is firmly established that
II rabies comes into existence at
all 1t comes only from bites by
an infected animal, though il is also
well known that stray dogs are
most Likely TO be bitten and so
spread the disease Not every pant
ing. swapping dog has rabies, any
more than every man who raves
and swears in a moment Of nervous
excitement is a lunatic.
However, people bitten by dogs,
and particularly by stray dogs,
should take no chances. If treat
ment is found necessary or advis-
able, then that prescribed by Pas
teur is believed to be adequate, if
taken in time. Any welI-equipped
board of health has, or should
have. material for the cure on hand.
In the old days, when the mad
stone was only one Of many worth
less applications in case of dog
bite, hydrOPhObia was a cause of
constanl fright plaques. Louis Pas
teUr has changed all that. and he
worked the miracle by means Of
vivisection.

As to Strawberry ShOrt-Cake.

What has become of the straw
berry short-cake like mother used
10 make?
That question isn't as foolish as
il sounds. Just go out and try to
get a slice-of porous kind of
cake, not too sweet, all soaked full
of strawberry juice. and dripping
with mashed berries, and maybe
some real. plain, wet, fluid cream to
pour over it. Nothing but a deli
cate kind Of biscuit dough and ber-
ries. That's all there was to it
but iimini crickets, it was good.
What do you get now? Well,
visitor from the North who hank
cred after the old kind went into
one of the finest hotels in our beau
tiful and busy city to try his luck.
After he had ordered some other
things, he came upon this:
Strawberry short-cske. ..-........s 50 cents
He paid it. If it cost 60 cents
land 90 cents would have made
enough for a whole meal in his
mothers kitchen) It ought to be
pretty good They brought it in.
And he, a man with long memory
sInd used to hotels. didn't know it
Swhen he saw 1t.
At first, he thought ii was some
body's birthday. There was a round
base of sponge cake all covered
with white frosting. Then he took
il for a fountain. on noticing that
the roses and spirals and whirli-
gigs overhoved the sides. But when
1t came closer and he saw a quilt
pattern delicately outlined in occa-
sionsl Strawberries. he knew it for
the counterfeit and spurious article
il was.

The Outlook Improving.

1t is now realized that President
Roosevelt won a highly important
victory when. by appealing direct
IN to the body Of the House, he
was able to administer a sharp de-
feat to the Appropriation Commit
tee. and to secure in the sundry
civil bill an ample appropriation
for enforcing Section 20, of the In
lerstate Commerce Law
The outcome in that case lndl-
Gated Just what may be expected
in several others before the end
of the session. The large majority
of the membership Of the House
is for the President and his policies.
There is no reasonable doubt Of
that. 1t may require such di-
rect and personal appeal, in each
particular instance, as the PresI-
dent made in the case of this high
" important appropriation item;
but if he viii make the appeal, he
viii get what he wants.
The legislative outlook has been
greatly improved as result Of the
contest over that item. The people
who have uniformly insisted that
the House was with the President
and needed only d bit of leadership
10 make it land there, have been
vindicated. The break will be
easier the second time than the first,
and still easier the third time than
the second.
There viii not be any amendment
of the antitrust law at this ses-
sion. II would be far better TO
drop all effort to secure such
amendment at this time, and to de-
vote all effort TO getting the other
measures to which the President
is Just now disposed TO devote him
DISQUALIFICATION law, child Ia
Dor statute for the District. cur
rency legislation, and bill for pub
licity of the facts concerning cam
paign contributions. Every one of
these things could be secured, pos
sibly. excepting currency legisls-
ton. if effort were properly con-
centrated on them. The country
