A Superstition of the Men Who Build

These airy crews are a generous

Everybody's Magazine of men who

brothers out on the plains. they are
quick to give Of their earnings. On
Saturday afternoons when they line
up at the pay window the Sisters Of
Charity are always there. and quarters
and dimes Jingle merrily into their lit

Behind this generous giving is a SUI
perstitious belief that amid risks like
these it is well to propitiate fate all
you can. for fate is a relentless old
machine. and when once it's wheels be-

If 1t Disappears, It's Eczema
How to Tell Whether a Skin Affec-
ton is an Inherited Blood Disease
or Not

Sometimes it is hard to determine
whether a skin affection is a sign of a
blood disorder or simply a form of
eczema. Even physicians are often
puzzled in their diagnosis. The best
way for any one afflicted is to go to
W. H. Sudhoff's or any good druggist
who handles pure drugs and obtain so
! cents worth of poslam. Apply this,
and if the itching stops at once and
the trouble is cured in few days it
may be set down as having been ecze-
ma, as this is the way poslam acts in
the worst cases of eczema, and in cur
ing acne, herpes, blotches, letter,
piles, salt rheum, rash. BARRIERS and
other forms of itch, scaly scalp, and
all surface skin affections.

sis Of an interesting discussion in the
court room of Justice of the Peace p.
M. Rooms, and in the evening the jury
returned a verdict of guilty against Or
vile Craig and he was fined 81 and
costs.
Craig is principal of the South Side
school, and a thirtee-year-old son of
Frank Dean was sent to him by a
teacher of one of the grades for pun
ishment. Craig whipped the boy. and
it was charged he used several switch
es entwined together. Dean charged
that the boys clothing was torn and
that wounds and bruises were inflict-
ed, which bled profusely. Several wit
nesses testified to this effect, and al
though Craig testified he had only in
flicted ordinary punishment, several
incidents were presented to show that
he had been exceedingly angry. The
school board is standing by Craig. and
it is expected the case will be appealed.

new CITY HALL
SLIGHTLY DAMAGED
The Torrential Rain Penetrates
the Inner Walls and Az
feets Plastering.

The furious rain of Sunday
night overflowed the caves of the
City Hall and did considerable
damage to the inner plastering of
the walls. Along the sides the
plastering was saturated with
water and over the window on
the east end of the council
chamber the plastering fell from
the ceiling. Just what amount
of damage was done can only be
ascertained by actual examina-
ton. The failure of the con-
tractor, who put on the roof, to
complete his contract caused such
an overflow within. Only prompt
repairs of the walls will prevent
further damage in this direction
on the recurrence of every heavy
rainfall. The building commit
tee has notified him and will take
prompt action to repair the
damage.
