WHAT A BLESSING!
Many People in Alma are learn

What blessing it is,
Sought after by thousands.
Alma is finding it out.
Many miserable man is happy now
Nights of unrest, days of trouble,
Any itching skin disease means this.
Itching piles mean it.
Eczema just as bad and just as bad to

But Doan's Ointment relieves at once
and cures all itchiness of the skin.
A blessing to suffering public.
Here's Alma proof to back our state
ment:
Mrs G. Tinney, living on Euclid Ave.
Alma, Mich, says: SIN 1901 I gave a
statement regarding what know about
Doan's Ointment in the cure of skin
diseases and can now relate said state,
ment as l still hold the same good
opinion of this remedy. Doan's ONT
ment cured me of an eruption and itchi.
ness of the skin that had caused me
much annoyance for several months.
The trouble deprived me of my rest as
was compelled to get up many times
and battle the parts with warm water
during the night. Nothing however
gave me relief until tried Doan's Oint.
ment which l procured at Charles

ment cured me, aud since then have

Doctrine that the Poor Are Growing

(From the Los Angeles Times)
In 1920 the savings banks of the
United States held S1.l3S,576 This
was poor country then compared with
now. The amount was only an average
OF ~ cents for the population Of that
time. That amount OF average economy
was very small.
Now the people Of this country have
$3.690S7s.945 in savings banks This
is an average for the whole population
OF this time of over $40 The actual
depOsitors have an average OF $40 to
their credit. In 1920 only $685. per
sons Ia the country were rich enough 10
have savings bank account. Now
there are S,5SS.s11
When James Buchanan, the last
Democratic President in n long line
went into Office, there was about $780,
100000 in the savings banks of the
United States. BY 1870. after fighting
out the grea. war. the people, under
Republican rule for twenty years, Lad
$3.50. 100000 in the savings banks. When
the next Democratic President took his
seat in 1883. the savings Of the people
had passed the billion point. By 1898
the savings had doubled again.
SO there il is. Ia 1920 there were
only about 5000 people rich enough to
have savings bank account Now
there are over 100000. In 1920 the
savings were - cents per capita; now
they are over $40
That the poor grow poorer and the
rich richer in this country is as true
as any other PopuIistic notion
