HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA.
Oil of Winterareen, ThymOl, GlyCer-
inc, Etc., Used as Simple Wash.

1t really seems strange that ST
many people suffer year in and
year out with eczema, when it il
now no longer secret that oil ol
wintergreen mixed with thymol,
glycerine, ETC., makes a wash that
is bound to cure.
Old, obstinate cases, is true,
cannot be cured in few days, but
there is absolutely no sufferer from
eczema who ever used this simple
wash and did not find Immediately
that wonderfully soothing, calm
cool sensation that comes when the
itch is taken away. Instantly up
on applying a few drops of the
wash the remedy takes effect, the
itch is allayed. There is no need
of experiment-the patient kn, VS.
MT once.
Instead of trying to compound
the oil of wintergreeE, thymol,
glycerine, etc in the right pro-
! ortlons ourselves we are using a
prescription which is universally
found the most effective. 1t is
known as the ID. ID. ID. Prescrip-
tion, or Oil of Wintergreen COM
pound. 1t is made by d. d. d.
Co. of Chicago, and our long ex-
perience with this remedy Las
given us great confidence in its

the heights and attack Persians
who were massed together on the
plains. The latter never antici-
pated an attack and were taken
greatly by surprise. The Greeks
advanced in three bodies, center
and two wings with considera BILE
interval between. Both attacks
by the wings were successful and
the enemy was driven to the right
and left, but in the center the
heavy masses of Persians repelled
the Athenians, who were forced
back for a considerable space.
Miltiades then recalled the vic
torious wings of his army, which
fell upon the flanks of the Persian
center, which was speedily broken
and the whole army fled in wild
confusion to their ship. In this
conflict the Persian loss was 6, 400
while that of the Greeks was only
1872.

Nickel Plate

The Nickel Plate school came to q
close on May 1th. with the usual last
day exercises. A nice dinner was
served by the patrons of the district
to which all did Justice. After an
intermisSion of some time, the school
was called to order by the Teacher,
w. A. RolSton, and nice little pro.
gram rendered for the entertainment
OF the visitors, consisting of dialogues,
recitationS, songs, etc. Charles IIar-
den had his graphophone there and
had some fine pieces which all enjoy
ed very much. We will say for the
school that the little folks did fine in
their performances in every respect.
After school was dismissed picture
was taken of the school and also of
the crowd. In the evening all again
assembled and the performance of the
day was repeated with an additionI of
music by Mr.. Il. ID. Harden and CLYDE

the conductors are metal and have
sharp points, or trees full of sap
and leaves, they give off "brushes"
of electricity which neutralize the
stress above them and prevent a
lightning stroke. This is the most
important office of lightning rod
Franklin in 1855 wrote to an
English scientist, "Wherever my
opinion is examined in Europe,
nothing is considered but the prob
ability of those rods preventing a
stroke; their conducting stroke
which they may happen mot to pre-
vent, seems to be totally forgotten.
though of equal Importance and
advantage.
Brother Potamian, physicist in
the Manhattan College, New York.
said in an article in the Electrical
World, "The rod no more 'attracts
lightning than drain-pipe attracts
downpour."
Rods are made from copper, iron
or steel. The conductivity of cop.
per for electricity is seven times
that of steel. This makes it the
more valuable for that important
function of rod, giving off mega
tive electricity to avert stroke.
But when stroke comes this su
perior conductivity is a disadvan-
tage for the ele ctricity surges in
the rod and is likely to give off
side flashes If there is insufficient
time for a rod to ward off a stroke
because of the rapid approach Of
cloud, the greater resistance of
steel is an advantage in that it
damps out the vibrations sooner,
rendering the fash slower and
therefore less explosive. Aside
from this steel is less liable to ac-
cident. Each of the manufactur-
ers who produce an assortment of
rods makes one of galvanized steel
covered with copper, to combine
the greater resistance of steel with
the higher conductivity of copper.
The instructions of the French
Government say that no square rod
of steel as large as three.fifths of
an inch has ever been fused by
lightning-square bars being used
in that country.
The greatest scientific writer on
this subject in Germany, coun-
try in which there is government
inspection of all rods each spring,
says a copper rod should not be
less than one-third of an inch solid.
Such a rod would weigh 1877
pounds to the thousand feet. Many
of the copper rods now in use are
made of number of wires and
weigh but lat pounds to the thou
sand feet. One rod in the market |
weighs but III pounds to the
thousand feet. but We have no re-
ports of any of them being melted

BILLY BUCK"
Famous Little Trotter Sold to An

Billy Buck will claim Paducah as
his home no longer for Mr.. A. S.
Thompson has sold the horse to Mr..
Charles Il. Maley, a millionaire lum-
Der dealer, of Evansville, Ind. The
deal was made yesterday. and Billy
Buck is now in Evansville in the
hands of his new owner. The con-
sideration was not made public, but
the horse brought a good figure, a
guarantee being given that Billy
Buck could trot mile in 2:10. 1t
is Mr.. Maley's intention to prepare
the horse for the grand circuit, and
he will be kept of the track for two
weeks, and be placed in training. II
is hoped to attain the mark of 2:07
on the grand circuit.
Sir Edwin Arnold was his sire, and
the horse was purchased by Mr..
Thompson three years ago. His
achievements on the track have been
watched by many horsemen, who are
sad over the horse leaving Paducah.
The horse has been out on the cir
cult several weeks, but Mr.. Thomp-
son found it impossible to care for
his business and handle the horse
properly and disposed of him.

KENTUCKIAN COMMITS
SUICIDE At Los ANGELES
knokn-I,ents Room for
Purpose.

Los Angeles. Cal, Aug. z6.-J. V
Black, scion Of a wealthy Kentucky
family, took poison yesterday in a
room which he had just rented at the
Edison apartments. killing himself
presumably either because of worry
about financial affairs or because OF
marital disagreement. His body was
found today.
With his wife, Black, who was
about 81 years old. came to Los An.
geles three years ago. About a year
and a half ago Mrs. Black separated
from him, and, taking with her their
3-year-old baby boy, returned TO her
own people In the Indian territory.
w. S. Fits. real estate operator
for whom Black worked. says Black
was worried about his wife and his
financial acairs. He is in commune
cation with Blacks parents in Ken
lucky regarding the disposition of the
body.
Black left message to the effect
that James Bernard, of 10 West ave
nue., could furnish information about
him. Bernard. however, knows very
little about Black. In company with
Mrs. Bernard and an actress named
Jean Leroy, he met Black at a depot
recently. Miss Leroy called today al
the morgue, where the body has been
taken, but was not able to give much
information.

CLAWS Secs Taft.

Washington, Aug. 26.-It Is def
nitely known that Louis r. CLAWS.
chief of the field division at Seattle.
called at Beverly of his own volition
last week and left with the president
a statement of what he considered to
be the serious state of affairs in con-
nection with the handling of the cases
by the department. The interior de-
partment is expecting to receive this
statement from the president with
his request that an answer to Il be
submitted to him. This, the officials
say, will serve to bring the matters
to focus and II viii not be long
before there will be an Official airing
of the various stories and yelled
charges that have been made against
Secretary Ballinger.
The officials of the general land
office were loath to believe CLAWS
had left his post at Seattle and pre-
scented himself unlimited. at Beverly
for the purpose of making charges
direct to the chief executive concern
ing one of the latter's cabinet off,
GERS. 1t was learned today. however,
that CLAWS undoubtedly had called at
Beverly last week and there is little
left to assume except the fact that he
considered he had things to lay be-
fore the president which should not
be intrusted to the Official channels In
order to reach him.
