SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Itching, Burning Skin Disease Rout-
ed Without Use Of Injurious
Drugs.

Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets
of their discoveries. Practically
the same thing happened in the
medical world in the case of DR..
Decatur ID. Dennis, the eminent
skin specialist of Chicago.
DIR. Dennis, in his own Office
practice, discovered that pure veg
etable oil of wintergreen properly
mixed with other simple remedies
was practically a sure specific for
eczema, psoriasis, barber's itch,
salt Rheum, and other itching skin
diseases. But the oil of winter
green alone was found ineffective.
1t required other mild ingredients
such as glycerine and thymol COM
pounded with the wintergreen to
produce the real eczema cure.
This compounded ID. ID. d. Pre-
scription positively takes away the
itch at once-the instant it is ap.
piled to the skin. This vegetable
liquid does away with deleterious
drugs so long used in an attempt to
doctor the blood, whereas modern
science has determined that eczema
is first and all the time skin dis
ease.
If you want to know more about
the merits Of d. d. ID. Prescription
call at our store. We vouch for
this remedy.-St. Johns Pharmacy.

WHAT'S THE REASONl

That is what we would like to
know. Why the city should give
away property that at no distant
day will be worth hundreds of
thousands of dollarsl What we
will say now, is brought up by the
application for correction of ordi-
nance vacating Charleston street
where it touches the river. We
have no objection to the vacation
of this particular portion of the
street, provided we have been
rightly informed. We understand
that this little spot has been SUR
rounded on all sides by the vaca-
ton of the streets until there is no
access to the location except on the
water, which renders the particular
surface of no worth to the city,
and we would be in favor of vacat-
ing it, particularly since 1t was the
intent of the council that vacated
the other streets to vacate this also.
But there will in the near future
be applications made tor the vaca-
tion of other streets. The only
just and equitable way that we can
think of to vacate the streets would
be to do so by lease, upon a rental
value increasing as the value Of the
location increases. This would be
just to the investor and to the city.
The vacation of streets outright by
transferring ownership of the
streets from the city to a private
individual or corporation, to use
good plain English, is almost steal
ing. 1t is giving away that which
does not belong to the ones who do
the giving II perpetrates a wrong
upon the posterity which follows us
by giving for nothing now, that
which generations from now will
be worth millions. The only just
way would be to so make the trans
fer that the city will reap the ben
e6ts due her through the advance
ment of her property values along
with that of the private individuals
or corporations benefited by the
transfer.
Another thing we would like to
know. Why IL does any good to
spend the good city money to cut
the weeds in the street and permit
the people to grow great big husky
weeds and thistles on the vacant
lots in general aud occupied lots in
particular, so that their seeds will
be blown TO the streets TO germin-
ate and foul the streets more and
more every yearp The Weed ordi-
nance is up to the mayor, who has
taken IL under advisement. The
mayor is a good, level headed fel.
low aud we believe he will sign the
IL not in its present
form, in a modified form that will
accomplish what is so much to be
desired. the compelling Of property
owners either resident or non-resi.
lent TO cut all their weeds. II he
ioes not, we would like to take
him across our knee aud be a father
10 him. There are a number of
vacant lots, and some that are oc-
,upied, with weeds aud particularly
Canada thistles, as high as our
head. II people who own these
OTIS have no more civic pride than
o see them in this condition the
'ity should take steps to abate the
Nuisance at least.

Pointers for our Patrons.

Our rule Is the best stock and
best work for our patrons.
We do not allow any printer to
put out nicer work than we do and
we put the best stock into our Jobs.
The difference between poor
stock and first class stock on a Job
Is small item when you consider
the value of the job. 1t is the
price of satisfied customer. 1t is
better to make so cents less on a
job and have a customer who will
come back, than to use the flimsy
stock, make the extra so cents and
lose your customer. That is the
way We figure it.

nance that would perhaps not affect
more than a dozen of our people as
some of them do, we would not
have a word To say. But this Is
different. The same thing may be
said OF the ordinance governing

The burning Of the Dexter Livery
stables in Portland should be a les.
son TO the council of that city. II
that body has not a law in force
that will protect the many horses Of
the city from such fate as those
62 met Monday night, II should
have. II they have such law il
should be enforced. Such old ram.
shackles as the Sexter buildings
should not be permitted to shelter
such large body of horses, and
better exits should be made where
large bodies of horses are kept.
Some people may think, II is only
a horse, the only consideration is
the money value. But n horse can
feel as keenly as cana human being,
has sometimes greater degree Of
and deserves that he
should be made as safe at least as
that Of his master.

Well, Nelson knocked the nigger
out We are glad Of it. The only
thing that would have made us
gladder, would have been to have
them both knocked out at the same
time. When two men make such
brutes of themselves, just like two
old bull dogs, we would rejoice to
see both of them disabled for life.
We believe in the days that would
follow such a catastrophe they
might be able to reflect, see the
brutality, the disgrace, the shame
Of it aud become better men. Prize
fighting is just a mild form of the
gladiator S contest Of the old ROM
