effect of seriously discriminating

United States.
The condition of trade with France,
it is said, Is bad cven under the pres

PEELED to pay the minimum rate on
all of its importations ana that is suf-

A very pertinent fact is the new

lean manufacturers TO build factories
across the Canadian line so that their
product may be sent to France with
the benefit of the low tariff.
Government experts believe it abso-
lutely necessary that a dual tariff be
arranged by the United States with

such system. it is agreed, will leave
the United states helpless and weap-

| Norman Hackett made his appear
ance in Topeka last night as the sue
cessor of Robert Edeson in VIM. c. De
Miles play, Classmates" Mr.. Hack
| ett is promising young man and while
| 1t may not be entirely fair to him to
compare him with such a finished and
| delightful artist as Mr.. Edeson still it
! is no eXaggeratio1 to say that the role
of Duncan Irving as interrupted by Mr..
Hackett is thoroughly enjoyable. Mr..
Hackett has been seen here several
times in various roles in Arizona and
Shakespearian plays.
Classmates" is a West Point play
and its theme is the trials of party of
upper classmen who are expelled from
school for conduct unbecoming soldiers
which in this instance was the trounc-
ing of a young snob. Bert Stafford, by
Irving, while his classmates looked on
approvingly. The fact that Irving
same girl was merely an incident
though it furnishes the love story which
is considered essential to the success of
the average American drama. The play
wright drags the actors from New
York to South America while the scene
ry is being changed between the second
and third act. into an Amazonian jun
gle setting which is so wonderfully re-
alistic that it brought rounds of ap-
plause from last nights audience. Bert
Stafford, who was with an engineering
corps-he had been fired from West
Point too-was lost in the jungle and
and other things that he is-heads an ex-
pedition to rescue him. They are all
revealed to the audience after wander
ing several weeks lost in the jungle
wearing as few clothes as a Salome
dancer, nearly starving and sick with
the fever to boot-how is that for trou-
BILE? 1t was lucky indeed that Dun
can Irving had strength enough left to
climb a gigantic tree. thoughtfully pro-
vided with hand-holds, but no human
being could have climbed it otherwise.
And it was fortunate too that one of
his companions had some shirt left so
that Duncan could tear enough off to
make a signal. Duncan faStens the
white rag to the lofty tree, descends
safely and then waits for the hello
graph signal to hit that piece of cloth.
The audience is informed that the op
orator is ten miles away but the spec
tator isn't expected to inquire how the
signal could penetrate ten miles OF
jungle without once missing fire. But
what is the difference. 1t did pene-
trate the jungle for the audience saw
it bright and radiant on that dirty
piece of white cloth that had once Serv-
ed as a sleeve for Silent Aliens shirt.
It was real thoughtful, too for Allen
to wear a white shirt in his jungle ex-
pedition for the party might otherwise
never have been found. Naughty Bert
Stafford villain that he is, wanders
right into the searching party which
is just as badly lost as he is and ne
calls his benefactOr names and acts In
a perfectly awful manner to the hero
as if he hadn't blackened his face and
put on those ragged clothes all just
to rescue him. After the rescuers are
rescued they take Bert Stafford back
delivers him to his ungrateful mother
and The Girl. 1t would have been aw-
full if after all that The Girl had mar
ried Stafford but she didn't-she mar

SALES TAKE SLUMP.
Less Than Ten Thousand Liquor Sales
Last Month.

The day OF reckoning is again at hand
for the druggists of Topeka as once each
month they are called upon for an ac-
counting by Probate Judge Schoch. They
are fewer in number than they were a
month or so ago and their ranks are
gradually being depleted by the actions of
County Attorney Schenck and Probate
Judge Schoch.
It was only a short time since half a
hundred or more druggists did a thrlv-
time their force amounts to scarcely more
than two-thirds of this number and the
end of the thinning out process is not yet
in sight. Last month As druggists held
permits in Topeka and their aggregate
sales amounted to 16,0S1, which was about
five thousand less than during the preced-
ing month.
But 40 permits are in force at the present
time and the sales for the month of Feb
ruary amounted to 9,547. or approximately
5000 less than during the month of Jan
uary.

ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN
Not a Blood Disease-Cured by Oil OF
Wintergreen Compound.

For many years eczema was sup
posed to be a blood disease and was
erroneously treated as such. but now
the authorities agree that eczema
is only a skin disease and must be
cured through the skin. The eminent
skin specialist, DR.. d. d. Dennis, first
discovered the eczema germ and his
discovery was quickly taken up in
both Germany and France.
To kill the eczema germ and at the
same time heal the skin, DIR. Dennis
compounded oil of wintergreen, thy
mol glycerine, etc. The remedy is a,
liquid not a mere salve. hence 1t
sinks right into the pores of the skin.
Washing with this oil of wintergreen
compound seems to take the itch
away at once; soon the scales drop
away and the disease disappears. The
prescription has now been used so
long as to have proven it's absolute
merit and we do not hesitate to ex-
press our confidence in d. d. D.
