EXTERNAL REMEDY FOR ECZEMA
Why SaIVes Fail While Simple
Liquid Has Accompanied Thou
sands of Cures.

1t is now thoroughly established
among the best medical authorities
that eczema is purely a skin disease,
due to a germ and durable only
through the skin. 1t is not blood
disease at all; in fact, thousands of
people suffer with skin diseases and
are perfectly healthy otherwise and
therefore prove they have no diseased
blood.
Smeary salves cannot reach the
germs because they do not penetrate
the skin. The only way to reach the
germs is by means of a penetrating
liquid.
Such a liquid can be obtained by
simply mixing ordinary oil of winter
green with thymol, glycerine and other
healing abents. This compound known
as D. D. D. Prescription stops the itch
instantly-and the cures all appear
permanent In fact, it took thousands
of cures, case after case, before the
best scientific authorities were convin-
ced of the absolute merit of this rem

st. Louis October 16.-To build a
four-room, modern, $4,000 cottage in
one day may seem like an impossible
proceeding, but that is exactly what
has been accomplished by an East
st. Louis contractor. w. c. Carl was
the man to accomplish the feat, and
had the assistance of some of the best
carpenters, masons. and plasterers in
the city.
Before 7 a. m. the site of the house
was a vacant lot of common weed
grown, tin-can-strewn variety, with no
hint of the change that was to be
made in ~ hours, in evidence.
The first obstacle to put a crimp in
Carrs record attempt came when he
discovered that the black, hard soil of
East Landsdowne would burn up" the
machine excavator which Carl had
hoped would dig cellar in a twink
ling. Plenty of laborers were on
hand, however, and, discarding the
patent digger, Carl resorted to the
good old reliable pick and shovel
In an hour and a half the founda-
tons were complete. Stone and brick,
the latter for chimneys, having been
unloaded quickly, while a basement
excavation was being shoveled out.
Meanwhile the carpenters were get

to have established a world record.

TROUBLE With

A fight is in prospect between the
Western Union Telegraph Company
and the Cumberland Telephone and
Telegraph Company.
At Ellisville, Laurel and in Hatties-

Manager Pfeifer of the local West

that the Cumberland wanted them to
pay three times:
First-Regular price for the service.
Second-Tw per cent for all mes

Third-Fifteen per cent. for all mes
sages received over the Cumberland,
for transmission.
The Home Telephone serves the
Western Union the same as it serves
other business concerns.
Should the Western Union discon-

patrons of the Cumberland will have
to carry or send their messages to
the telegraph office, but no one could

EMERsoN's MEMORY AT FAULT
Had at Times Almost Entire Lack

Emerson was a notable sufferer
from the vagaries of memory. His BIZ

day in Boston, apparently at loss for
something, and asked him where he
was going. ITO dine" said Emerson,
with a very old and dear friend. l

won't ask me her name," and then he
proceeded to describe her as the
mother of the wife of the young man
the tall man-who speaks so WELL
and SO on, until his interloeutor
guessed to whom he was referring.
Even the names of common objects
often failed him completely. On one
occasion, when he wanted an umbrel-
la, he said 81 can't tell its name, but
| can tell its history. Strangers take
1t away"
This failing of Emerson led to a
pathetic scene when he attended
Longfellow's funeral, and remarked as
he gazed at the coffin: "iIe was a
sweet and beautiful soul; but | have
entirely forgotten his name"

CHAPTER XII.
An Impromptu Affair on the High Sc

An lmpromptu Affair on the High seas.
1t was hardly possible at first, even
for so practiced and acute an eye as
Carrington's, to determine whether he
or Strathgate had the better boat. In
the first place, the two cutters were
continually on opposite courses, split
ting tacks, the wind blowing straight
into the harbor, and it was not until
they had passed and repassed each
other several times that Darlington
became convinced that lie was gain
ing on his antagonist. The gain, how
ever, was slight one The differ
ence in the rate Of sailing between
the two boats was not very great.
Both of them sailed faster than the
Flying Star in the air then prevail
ing. When the big ship got out into
the channel she would probably run
away from the two fishing boats with
out difficulty. The wind being as it
was necessitated a hard beat out, and
again this gave the smaller vessels an
advantage, for they could hold on
to tack for fear of shoal water. And
with every tack they gained distance.
Darlington studied the sea intently
and concluded that if the wind did not
shift and it did not come to blow hard
er than it was, there was every pros
pect that both boats would overhaul
the ship. Whether he could beat
Strathgate at that game, however, in
the time at his disposal was a ques-
ton. At any rate there was nothing
to do but hold on. Master Haight had
viewed Carrington's usurpation of the
helm with some misgiving at first,
but his distrust soon gave place to
admiration, for never was small
boat better handled than by the young
naval officer. If Darlington had been
sailing the cutter in race for stake
of 10000, he could not have watched
her more carefully or handled her
more skillfully. He made everything
tell.
That worthy fisherman, Cooper, who
was sailing Strathgate's boat albeit
he did very well, was mere tyro COM
pared to Darlington. Indeed, Caring.
ton felt as if he were sailing his boat
for love, honor, happiness, revenge, all
the passions that can engross a heart
and move a soul. Strathgate was no
sailor but after an hours rapid sailing
even he could see that eventually Car
rington would overhaul him He
spoke of this to Cooper, wringing a
reluctant admission of the truth of
his conclusions from the sailor, but
the latter promised to put him along
side the merchant ship at least be-
fore Darlington ran him down.

Vulqarity of Quarrelino.

There must be a satisfaction in tor
turing human beings, for it is done so
often. Nobody blames a wife for up
holding her self-respect and resenting
insult, but there is little sympathy for
one who deliberately drives a man to
deeds of rudeness and violence. Nag
ging and indulgence in bad temper
leave indelible marks on the face of
woman, on her voice and on her char
acter. They shrivel up whatever
sweetness nature has put into her dis
position and make her unlovely, even
in the eyes of those who feel in duty
bound to give her affection. 1t is often
hard to maintain silence under provo
cation, but there is always the open
door of escape, you know. A quarrel
does not thrive when fed from one
side only, and what should be impor-
tant to every woman with pretenses
to refinement is the undisputed vul-
garity of pickering. Education and
refinement are supposed to lift us so
far above vulgarity that even the hens
of our skirts are unstained-Exc
