EXTERNAL REMEDY for ECZEMA
Why SaIves Fail While Simple
Liquid Has Accomplished Thousands
Of Cures.

1t is now thoroughly established
among the best medical authorities
that eczema is purely 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 disease and are
perfectly healthy otherwise, and there
fore 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 penetrating
liquid.
Such a liquid can be obtained by
simply mixing ordinary oil of winter
green with thymol, glycerine and other
healing agents. This compound known
as d. d. D. Prescription stops the itcn
instantly-and the cures all appear to
be permanent In fact, it took thous-
ands of cures, case after case, before
the best scientific authorities were
convinced of the absolute merit Of this
remedy The effect of D. ID. d. Pre-
scription in numbing the itching
eczema germs is seen within one
minute after the first application. We
especially recommend p. d. d. Soap in
connection with this treatment.

the tablets in Memorial hall, and other
lgifts MADE anonymously we are in
debted to his generosity and today
send him our thanks.
"Only last year five hundred friends
united to give us $277,00O. Friends who
for the present must he unnamed have
recently made provision in legal and
| irrevocable form to give the college
large sums. The legacy of John G.
CCombs, Esq. insures to us another
large sum. Taken altogether within
the past four years the college has re-
ceived in cash, securities, binding pled-
ges and assured bequests more than a
million dollars. 1t is fitting that at this
Christmas season we turn our thoughts
with gratitude to the great company
Of benefactors, living and dead, named
and unnamed, to whom we owe the
opportunities we here enjoy.
"A student in BowdOin college pays
in tuition the income Of $4,000. He re-
ceives in return his share of the in
come of two million dollars in build
ings. apparatus. service and instruc-
tion. Our benefactors multiply by one
thousand every dollar that you pay.
The men who graduated in the fifties
are making the college you attend to-
day.
''Nor is it gifts alone for which we
are grateful Our Trustees and Over
seers are giving large contributions of
time, toll and talent. Conspicuous
among the living is Hon. William l..
Putnam, who for a quarter of a CEN
tGry, as chairman of our Finance Com
mittee has borne the burden of our
financial problems from the largest re-
sponsibillty for investment down to
the smallest detail of expenditure; and
among those who have recently died
will only mention John L. Crosby OF
Bangor and Charles W. Pickard of
Portland.
How shall we show our gratitude? :?
Those of us who administer and teach
are trying to do SO, by making every
thing about the college genuine, eff
cient, honest. true. Within the past
four years, while this money has been
coming, we have raised the quality OF
work and tine standard of conduct re-
qured of those who study here fifty
per cent We mean that these costly
opportunities shall not be squandered
privileges to be earned by faithful in
dustry and manly self control. J. am
happy to say that the students have
Responded nobly to these raised stand
ards. The proportions of students who
have 20 be dismissed is lowered under
the present high standards, promptly
and ineXorably enforced, than 1t was
under the lower standards leniently
administered. Students rise to what is
expected of them.
Money after all, indispensable as it
is, is a mere means to knowledge and
power. And knowledge and power
likewise, are mere means to the great
ends of personal character and social
service. To transform money and ma
terials, through training and attain
ment into character and usefulness is
the true way to show our gratitude to
cur generous benefactors."

kENT's HILL NOTES.
Close Of Fall Term.-Reducton Of
Debt.-New Teacher.

Kent's Hill, Me-, Dec 21-.(SpeciaD.--
The fall term Of the Maine Wesleyan
Seminary and Woman's College, which
closed Tee. II. was in every way a
rrosperals term. A large number of
new 81 ,ents of excellent quality en-
tered II school and the quality OF
work { re throughout the term was of
the US high grade.
The ! turning former students found
many i.:provements. New seats had
been ! ed in the recitation rooms in

rooms i. this building has been tinted
and d ,erwise improved. The boys

school lebt on July last and that this

assure j the students. would be paid
during the present school year.
of the graduates of last spring, 15
entered college in the fall. One went
tu Colby, two to the University of
Maine one to Smith, two to Boston
University. three to Wesleyan Univer-
sity, two to Ohio Wesleyan and four to
Bowdoin
This school has long had an cnviable
reputation for the thoroughness with
which it's students are prepared for
college, and as the utmost care it used
in certifying students into college, the
schools reputation for thorough col
lcge preparation is still maintained.
1t does not often happen that all the
backs of q college football team are
graduates of the same school, but at
Bowdoin this fall the three backs were
Kent's Hill graduates, and every goal
kicked for the season was kicked by
one of these men and every touchdown
but one made by the Bowdoin team
was made by one of these men. This is
ra ther a remarkable fact. and when we
add to it the statement that these men
also maintained their standing in the
literary work of the college, the value
of Kent's Hill training is apparent.
The resignation Of Arthur E. Pater-
soD, the teacher1of English, was an
noumced at the close of the term and
a Bowdoin graduate of the class Of
1906 a teacher of. experience and a
young man highly recommended by the
ac l,oe
to fin this vacancy, Henry P. Body.
The outlook for the winter term,
which begins Dec. 20, is excellent.
While some students who We're here in
the fall will not return, already con-
siderable number of new students have
announced their coming.

MOTORS FOR BRANCH LINES
Fifty New Gasoline Cars to Be Ready For Service Within Year
 One to Come Here.

interest in local motor car service on the Imperial Valley branch of the Southern Pacific is again aroused by the announcement from San Francisco that the gasoline motor car service, recently inaugurated on the Sacra. mento division, is the beginning of a fast interurban and State service that will extend eventually to every part of California.
 According to the latest announce ment, which is said to be from official sources, fifty of these motor cars will be in operation on the lines of the Southern Pacific within a year. Two of the six cars sent to Sacramento have been passed on to Fresno and will be used in the suburban runs in the raisin belt.
 Now comes the report from the north that large car manufacturing concern is busy tdrning out other cars for the Southern Pacific and another consignment will be shipped to Cali fornia within a short time. The Sac ramento division will get most of these cars, but others will be dis tributed to other divisions of the road, and the Imperial Valley line is slated for one of these. The intention is to distribute cars to various lines ac- cording to the demands of business until sufficient number is secured to meet conditions in all parts of the State.
 If the Southern Pacific can be in- duced to give Imperial Valley a night train service, carrying tourist sleep CTS, between Calexico and Los Ange- les, and then use it's motor car service for the local passenger runs, railroad conditions here will be close to the ideal

HIGH PRICED TURKEYS
Prediction That The Birds wiII Bring More This Year Than They
 Brought Last Wear.

Turkey raisers in Imperial Valley will be interested in what Los Ange les dealers say about prospective sup. ply and prices of Thanksgiving birds.
 Although there is a diversity of opinion in the minds of most dealers as to the exact cost of gobblers, they are all certain prices will equal and go above those of last year.
 At present there is a little, if any, stock in the cold storage vaults. Last year there were ten thousand pounds, or more. There were very few tur- keys imported from the East then This season the same will be true
 In discussing the probable market for the coming weeks, B. A. Benjamin manager of the Cudahy Packing Com pany, stated that turkeys would sell for more than last year. At present we are obtaining at wholesale, price ranging from 24 to 26 cents, and be- fore the week is up that price will jump as high as 28 cents. The con sumer will be forced to pay the retail butcher anywhere from 30 to 35 cents for first-cIass stock.
 In answer to the probable amount of turkey consumed in Los Angeles, MT. Benjamin stated that it would reach neighborhood of 125,000 pounds or nearly seven carloads.
 The jobbers will demand until fur ther notice. 90 to 26 cents on turkeys, according to their grading, old Toms, young Toms and turkey hens, the two latter being preferable and calling for the best quotations.
