ECZEMA ONLY SKIN DEEP.
Local Cure Of Diseased Surface Nov
Recognized as Proper Treatment.

In gathering data for an address be-
fore the Pathological Club, DR.. ID. ID
Dennis, the skin specialist of Chicago,
prepared table of results on micro
Scopical blood examinations Of 46S suf-
ferers from skin disease.
These tests were from the blood of
persons who had called at his office
within a period of two years. Less
than 10 per cent of all these cases
showed anything at all the matter
with the blood. and in not a single in
stance could the physicians present
trace the slightest connection between
the skin affection and the blood humor.
This personal experience furnished
the Chicago physician with the basis
for a brilliant exposition of his con-
tentIon that Eczema, psoriasis, salt
rheum, BARRIERS itch and other skin
diseases are first and last diseases of
the skin and have nothing at all to do
with the blood. At the conclusion of
his paper. DR.. Dennis was congratu-
lated on his demonstration by the
prominent medical men present.
For several years DIR. Dennis has al
lowed private company to manu-
| facture and sell his celebrated
| compound of thymol glycerine and oil
of wintergreen known as D. d. D.
Prescription. and it was particularly
| gratifying to him that other first-class
physicians. free from prejudice and
| jealousy, should recommend the d. D.
d. Prescription to all skin sufferers
1t is simply wonderful-the instant
relief-the complete taking away of
the itch the very moment this oil OF
wintergreen compound is applied to
the skin. We know, we vouch for It:

The Kaiser NEEDLES.

All bf Great Britain and some other
s.ctions of the world for that matter
have been much stirred up by the letter
written by Emperor William of Ger
many to Lord Tweedmouth on the sub
iect OF British naval affairs. The let
fer itself has not been made public and
Lord Tweedmouth contents himself
with saying that it is purely personal
communication, but until good proof
is given, and of course the best proof
would be the letter itself, the British
public will firmly believe that the kais-
err has beer meddling in things which
are none OF his business. From any
nont of view it was an extraordinary
performance on the part of the German
emperor, but he is an extraordinary
man and not given to following the
conventional order of things. 1t is
hard to ina CINE any other ruler of Eu-
rope writing a letter TO the naval au-
thorities of another power regarding
TIE naval policy of that other power.
The London papers insist that the
letter be made public at once but the
member of the ministry who received
it refuses TO comply with the request,
and for the British government to
make public private letter Of the Ger
man monarch is q delicate matter.
Still. it is probably a case of going off
at halt-cOrk when the British editors
assume that the kaiser seriously at
temptS to influence Great Britain's
naval policy in a way favorable to
German interests. 1t is difficult to be-
lieve that even Emperor William could
have been guilty of such an indiscre-
ton. Moreover, the British navy is
five or six times as powerful as that of
Germany and SO Great Britain need
hardly be alarmed if the emperor has
gone ont of his way to point out a
few things about the relative naval
strength of the two countries.

The Election In Augusta.


| The tumult and the shouting dies,
| the dust of battle has cleared away
and Augustus exceedingly strenuous
municipal campaign is thing of the
past. AS a result of yesterdays vot-
ing Mr.. Plaisted retains the Office u;
mayor for third term, by decreased
majority to be sure, but still by very
comfortable margin. The city govern
ment as last year will be evenly divid-
ed, each party carrying four wards.
| Perhaps never was there greater in
terest shown here in municipal cleo
ton, and the total vote thrown. 2379,
was the largest in the history of the
city Mr.. Plaisted received 1851 and
Mr.. Randall 1928 In 1906 Mr.. Plaisteds
margin of victory was 44O votes, in
1907 it was 236 and this year it is 1913.
The Republicans of Augusta did not
win. but they did better than that:
they deserved to win. Their battle was
against the big odds of intrenched
power, a combined county and city
machine and the great personal popu-
larity Of the man at the head of that
machine Mr. Plaisted won partly by
virtue of his double office holding, and
partly in spite of it-by virtue of it
since the two important offices Of Shcr-
if and mayor give him SO much pat
ronage and power; and in spite of it
because most of those who voted for
him readily admit that one man should
not hold those two offices. The per-
sonal element in the election is shown
by the fact that while Mr.. Plaisted
had a majority of 1913, there was Re-
publican majority in the total vote for
the aldermen.
The Republican nominee for mayor
Hon. Ira II. Randall. made a splendid
fight and is to be congratulated on the
fact that he received 1876 more votes
than the Republican nominee last year,
and 341 more than the Republican
nominee of two years ago. The special
fitness of Mr.. Randall for mayor was
agreed to by everybody. and no man
whom the party could have selected
would have led the Republicans Of Au-
gusta nearer to a complete victory yes
terday than he did.
N f.1I of no
strates that Augusta will be back in
the Republican column where it be-
longs when the September election IS
held. This is a Republican city and
the factors which allowed the Demo-
Gratis to elect the head of their ticket
here yesterday will not prevent Au-
gusta from helping to swell the Re
publican majorities in Kennebec coun-
ty and the State of Maine six months
hence
1t is needless perhaps to add that the
Journal extends hearty congratulations
to Mayor Plaistcd upon his triumph
at the polls. AS an active Democratic
leader, We often have occasion to differ
with him and to criticize him: but as
a man and citizen Of Augusta the
Journal has never uttered, or had oc-
casion to utter. one word against him
We can say the same of the Demo-
cratic candidates for aldermen. elected
and defeated. We hope that the polti-
cal battle which has been fought will
have no bitterness behind it, but that
we may all join honestly and Loyalty
in working for the welfare and pro-
gress of the city which we love.

ent administration made levy of
three mills to pay off the legacy OF
debt left to them by the "stalwarts"
to charge Gov. Crawford with extrava-
gance? The fact that the "stalwart"
papers have been SO energetic in
Showing up" this question and,
while taking the unwarranted "glory"
OF low taxation, have tried to saddle
the responsibility OF high taxes upon
the present administration when the
stigma should rest upon the stalwarts
for not doing their duty, bears evil.
dence that the plan was pre-a-ranged
by the "stalwarts."
But what has been the result? The
people have been obliged to pay inter-
est upon deficiency warrants which
should never have existed. The legis-
lature was obliged to pass bills with
emergency clauses to pay debts OF long
standing and for which the present
administration was not responsible.
Had the Elrod administration done
its duty and levied a three mill state
tax, the state tax for the present year,
aside from the Irvine plant tax would
be only two mills on the dollar or the
lowest tax levy for years, even with
the slight increase in valuation.
We therefore declare that the respon-
sibility OF the present "high taxation"
claimed, without warranty by the stall
warts, is due to the chicanery OF the
stalwarts themselves in not making
proper levy to pay their own obliga-
tions as stote officials.
