BABY'S ITCH EASILY CURED.
Infantile Eczema Quickly Relieved b!
External Use Of Oil Of Winter
green Compound.

Infantile eczema, which has baffled the
skill of the best physicians for so many
years at last seems to be curable-and
durable with great ease
Results of the last two years indicate
eonclusively that baby's itch, infantile
eczema and other skin diseases of chill
dren can be very simply cured by the. ap..
plication of compound composed of oil
Of wintergreen, thymol and gycerlne, as
in d. d. ID. Prescription.
The Rev. Lewis Steeley of Weatherly,
Our baby boys little face was. SO
dreadfully covered with eczema that blood
and water ran from the sores nearly all
the time. After using 31s bottles OF D;
d. d. Prescription we are so happy to tell
YOU he is entirely cured and the disease
has never broken out again. If this let

If you have a child which is suffering
with this terrible itch, we are sure you

permanent we have seen this too often

A DELICATE SUBJECT.
Winfield Chautauqua Speaker Ques-
tions Taft's Religious Views.

Winfield. Kan. July 14.-There
were several kinks in the air" at D.
Robinson's meeting at the chau-
tauqua. The first thing that twisted
the atmosphere of the hall of philo-
sophy up into strenuous knots was
the somewhat jubilant announce
ment from DIR. Robinson that Bryan
had been nominated. He said he felt
better. He said further that he had
been raised a Republican, is Re
publican now and would doubtless
have voted the Republican ticket if
- Bryan had not been nominated.
This was an audience of Bible stud
ents gathered for Bible study, and he
gave to them. as his reason for the
feeling that he would rather trust a
Christian gentleman than one who
made no profession of faith and a
divine Christ.
This fearless expression of his
own honest convictions was well
worthy of the speaker, but the rea-
son which he gave. while appropriate
for that time and place, would, If
taken alone, be unworthy of DR.. Rob-
inson in general. Even though Taft
may be heterodox in his theology,
DR.. Robinson is one of the last per-
sons who would be narrow enough on
this account to distrust the cleanness
of his life, the sincerity of his
patriotism or the strength of his
craftsmanship. And he proceeded to
demonstrate this by giving, with evil
dent realization that he was liable to
criticism, some of his own advanced.
not to say heretical. views of certain
parts of the Bible, making as he went
along, a characteristic and sweet
spirited plea that we cultivate a
larger liberation for one another in
our different views and interpreta-
tions of things. and asking only that
we hold fast to whatever is vital to
our own spiritual life. He seemed
to feel that he was treading on deli
cate ground throughout the hour, but
his audience seemed not so much
averse to Bryan as he evidently sup
posed and greeted his remarks. on the
nomination with hearty applause.
His scholarly exposition on THE
Bible and Recent Discoveries" was
also received with intense interest,
critical in some cases, perhaps, but
for the most part, in that spirit of
study and honest investigation which
DR.. Robinson always inspires.
