HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA
Oil OF wintsrgreen, Thymol, 1Glyosrins,
Etc., Used as q Simple Wash.

1t really seems strange that so many
people suffer year in and year out with
eczema, when 1t is now no longer a sect ct
that oil of wintergreen mixed with thy
mol, glycerine, etc, makes a wash that is
bound to cure.
Old, obstinate cases, II is true, cannot
be cured in a few days. but there is abso-
lutely no sufferer from eczema who ever
used this simple wash and did not find
immediately that wonderfully soothing,
calm, cool sensation that comes when the
itch is taken away. Instantly upon APP
plying a few drops of the wash the RENE
edy takes effect. the itch is allayed.
There is no need of experiment-the
patient knows at once
Instead of trying to compound the oil
Of wintergreen, thymol, glycerine, etc.,
in the right proportions ourselves we are
using a preparation which is universally
found the most effective. 1t Is known as
the d. d. d. Prescription, or oil of Win
tergreen Compound. 1t is made by the
d. d. d. Co. of Chicago, and our long
experience with this remedy has given us
that great confidence in its merits.

OHIO

CINCINNATI. o., Nov. 1.-The last day
of the campaign found both parties in Ohio
expressing confidence as to the result of
tomorrow's balloting, but both willing to
admit that there might be some surprises.
Although State Chairman CARRIER claims
the state for Bryan by 5,0O the strongest
democratic faith is on the state ticket,
where that party has put forth its greatest
effort. on the side OF the republicans the
only difference Of opinion seems to be as
TO the size Of the pluralities. The party
leaders insist that IL Harris loses votes
in the cities on his stand for local option
he will more than make up the loss in the
country, while they claim that Taft will
carry the state by anywhere from a normal
10000 plurality up to the high water mark
Of $4,000 set by Roosevelt. The speaking
campaign will continue till nearly midnight
tonight and the poll all over the state
opens at $50 in the morning, so that little
time elapses for clearing away the smoke
of battle. The legislature, involving the
United States senatorship, several constl-
%tutional amendments and county officers,
have taken minor places in the campaign.

IOWA

DIES MONIES. Ia Nov. 2.-on the eve
OF the presidential election in Iowa, both
the democratic and republican committees
are ready to make sanguine claims as to
the situation in iowa. Chairman Clint
Price OF the democratic state central COM
mittee says Iowa Is in the doubtful coll
umn, with chances bright for a democratic
victory. Chairman FRANKIE OF the repub-
lican committee estimates Taft's majority
at 1900. atsf
The democrats are sclaiming possible vic.
tories in five , congressional districts,
namely, the First, Second. Sixth, Seventh
and Eighth. Especially in the Sixth, Sew
enth and Eighth are they sanguine OF
success. In the Eighth Jamison has made
a very hard fight against Hepburn and
the democrats are ready to claim a big
victory there. -,
The republicans admit there is a possi-
bility of the fight being close in the First,
Second, Sixth and Eighth. They do not
admit the possibility, D of. defeat, and in
the Seventh they are. predicting a sure VIC
tory for Hull.
Managers for Cummins for the United
States senate are claiming his election by
1000 Lacey's managers are also claiming
It, but by a smaller majority.
The entire republican ticket will be
elected by majorities ranging from 5000
to $1,000.

WHEELING, w. Va, Nov. 2.-West
Virginia on the eve OF the election finds
both parties equally confident. Demo-
cratic Vice Chairman George l. New and
National Committeeman John T.. McGraw
both declare the state will be found in
the Bryan column with a substantial plu-
rslity. Republican State Chairman s. V.
Matthews claims the state for Taft by

also claims the election of the five re-
publican congressional candidates and a
republican legislature by a large majority.

The democrats are mot giving out any
figures, but Fred A. Sims, acting chair
man of the republican state committee, in
a statement tonight said:
"Basing my opinion on the thirty-day
poll. l feel safe in saying that Mr.. Taft
will carry Indiana by not fewer than 10000
plurality; that the entire republican state
ticket will be elected and that we will
elect a majority of the legislature in both
houses and probably eleven Of the thlr-
teen congressman"
Stokes Jackson. chairman of the demo
cratic state committee, said:
"The whole democratic state and ma
tional tickets will be elected. We expect

MONTANA

BUTTE, Mont, Nov. 2-Probably the
most significant feature OF the eleventh
hour political sentiment in Montana is the
greatly reduced claims of the state republl-
can chairman. Last Tuesday Chairman
Lanstrum claimed that Montana would go
for Taft and Edwin Donlan for governor
and the balance of the state ticket by
msjorities ranging from 5000 to 10000. To-
day Mr.. Lanstrum's estimate places
a plurality for Taft and Sherman at not
less than 1000 with 5000 for Donlan.
state democratic Chairman w. b
Georges estimate tonight is that Montans
will give Bryan a popular majority OF al
least 10000 and majorities Of at least 500
for the state ticket.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-National Chair
man Mack declared today that the vote to-
morrow would show that Bryan had been
elected by a landslide, sweeping the coun-
try from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Mack said that Mr.. Bryan and Mr.,
Chanler would carry this state by any
where from $4,000 to 5000 plurality and that
the vote for both these candidates would
be about the same. A report of conditions
in Ohio was received at headquarters to-
day from National Committeeman Harvey

the Buckeye state on estimates of county
chairmen would give Mr.. Bryan a plurality
of 1913.

Mr.. Mack turned his attention to the inde-
~pendence party today and made an attack
on Mr.. Hearst's position in this campaign.

a party to- defeat Mr.. Bryan because of
personal Jealousy and a desire for revenge
because Mr.. Bryan had not aided Mr..
Hearst in his presidential aspirations four
years ago. e.
