FOR PIMPLES, TOO
New Discovery Cures Eczema and
Eradioates Minor Skin Troubles
Over Night.

A few months ago the dispensers
Of poslann, the new discovery for the
cure of eczema. decided to allow the
druggists of the country to handle it.
Previous to that time it could only be
obtained direct from the laboratories.
Since this change in the method Of
distribution, poslam has met with the
most phe nomenal success Of anything
Introduced to the drug trade in the
last 80 years. All leading druggists,
including w. II. Sudhoff in Richmond,
are now carrying the special 50-cent
size recently adopted, also the 81 jar
This great success is not surprising
when II IS remem bered that, in ecze-
: ina cases, pOslam stops the itching
with first application, proceeds 70
heal Immediately, and cures chronic
case in a few weeks. In minor skin
troubles, such as pimples, black
heads, acne herpes, blOtches, rash,
etc, results show after an overnight
application. Experimental samples OF
poslam are sent TO anyone by mail
free Of charge, by the Emergency Lab
oratories, 80 West Twenty-fifth Street,

BIRD VISION.
Keen Eyesisht of tho kinefishers and
Water Birds.

water Birds.
So far l have determined that the
keenest eyesight Is probably possessed
by water birds and kingfishers. al
though every kind Of bird possesses
keener eyesight than does man. 1t is
a fact that the eyesight of man is go
ing to get worse in the future and IS
getting worse all the time-that is. we
are growing more nearsighted. The oc-
equations of a majority Of men in
cities compel them TO do their work at
very close range. This removes the
necessity of the farsighted eyes with
which most men are endowed. 1t is
probably good thing that we are be-
coming nearsighted.
AS an example of the visual capacity
OF some birds one has to think for a
moment Of hawk poised several hun
dred yards above a meadow in which
a field mouse or a small chicken is
hidden. In a few seconds after the
quarry is sighted it is seized by the
bird, whose sharp sight has not only
detected it. but whose wonderful &C.
cOmmodative apparatus permits of a
sure and continuous ixatiOn from hun
dreds of meters to less than a meter
within an incredibly short space OF
time. Variation in the character Of
this acute vision are seen in many

Paris Ever Famous.

Paris was a famous and cultivated
city ages before Venice. If we search
for them we may find 1t in historical
associations that may vie with those of
any city in the world except Rome and
Constantinople. and even its antiquari-
an and artistic remains are seldom
equaled or surpassed. At Rome, Flor
ence or Venice the tourist talks of old
churches, palaces and remains. At
Paris he gives himself up to the boule-
wards. the theaters, shops and races.

profuse antiquarian remains of the

The Full Dinner Pail.

Referring to the happenings in Union Square, New
York City, Saturday. March 49, the New York cor
respondent for the Chicago Inter Ocean said
"They have brought many carts into the square to
serve as speaking stands reported policeman.
Drive them away your clubs if necessary
replied the Inspector
A man from the crowd hearing the command, adj
vanced, pulled paper from his pocket, and tapped
it with his finger.
Chat" he said "is the strongest thing in America.
1t is the constitution of the United States 1t says
that the people have a right to peaceabe assem-
blage"
This is the strongest thing in Union Square" re-
Piled the Inspector, holding aloft his club.
Suddenly the demonstration fell back before the
b1uecoats Then man in the throng started the
'Marseaise" The great throng took it up. In an
instant the defiant battle song of the French revo-
luton echoing through the vast square. Surg
ing in and out keeping ahead of the clubs of the
police, the red hats lodged They bore notices like
this:
1--WE demand work"
"Why should we go hungry?
Public thevery makes private poverty"
All at once there appeared the magnificent mount
ed police These splendid officers bore down upon
the multitude like so many mounted soldiers OF the
Ney division
"Drive them into the East river" commanded the
Inspector
The horses turned into the crowd. Many fell be-
meath the hoofs of the animals. In panic the red
hated columns dashed backward. They massed
upon the sidewalks On came the charging police
cavalry pushing on, to the sidewalks with the
curveting steeds.
Referring to this dispatch the Omaha World-Her
aid said: "It reads like page from Carlye's
French Revolution like account of what
might have happened somewhere in darkest Russia.
1t doesn't read like the story of what happened here
in free and enlightened America in the early years
of the Twentieth century,
And the slogan was -Four years more of the full
dinner pail"

I HE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

They bear no threat of conquest,
No boast of braggart powers;
Goodwill is all their message
To other lands than ours
But be it not forgotten
The puma-cat has claws
That, while she soothes her kittens,
Lie sheathed in velvet paws.
North, by the coasts of Chill,
Capped with Andean snow;
North, through the endless surges
That roll off Callao;
North, by the fair coast cities,
Where cheering thousands wait,
Till, home to those who love them,
They win the Golden Gate.

The Ballad of the Fleet.

South, by the Georgia sand-reefs;
South, by the Carib keys;
Breasting the ceaseless trade winds,
Cleaving through tropic seas;
South, by the scorched equator
And the line of Capricorn.
To the wave-lashed cliffs that beetle
Through the fog-wrack of the Horn
What are these slim, swift phantoms
Out of the sea mist hurled,
White as the drifting icebergs
From the jaws of the Arctic world?
Four in each steady column,
Four in each line abreast,
These are the battle squadrons
Of the Nation of the West
Lords of the track1ess ocean,
Mark all their giant strength;
The loom of each massive funnel
The lift of each bow-gun's length,
The frown of their barbette turrets,
The curve of their armored strakes,
And the Stars and Stripes afutter
Above the foaming wakes.
Ours they are, my brothers;
Need we feel shame in these,
Bearing our flag and honor
TO the far antipodes?
Following Drake and Hawkins
And the galleons of Spain
With the whirling screw propellers
Of the Kearsarge and the Maine?
These are our warships, brothers,
Sprung as young eaglets grow,
From the stanch old Bonhomme Richard
That fought of Scarborough;
The death1ess Constitution,
With her sanded, bloody decks,
And the Hornet and the Essex,
That strewed the sea with wrecks.
These are the heirs in glory
Of her whose iron goads
Lashed back the great Virginia
That day in Hampton Roads;
Sons of the fearless Hartford.
Which led the desperate fray,
When Farragut came roaring
Through shot-torn Mobile Bay.
Think We these stee1-built monsters
Less gallant than their slres!
Fear We the hearts that guard them
Burn low with patriot fires?
In foreign port and roadstead
Their black-mouthed guns will ring
With only friendly greetings
TO those who friendship bring
But if foe should cross them,
Or fout the flag they bear,
Because he holds them lightly,
Or deems them weak beware
For, once their slow wrath kindled,
Speaks out in righteous ire,
With twelve-inch gun and broadS1de
And hail of Calling fire.
The foe who dares their anger
cLor 1eorn in wreck and pain
