HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA.
OIL Of Winterereen, Thymol, Glycerlne
Etc. Used as a Simple Wash

1t really seems strange that so
many people suffer year in and year
out with eczema, when it is now no
longer a secret that oil of wintergreen
mixed with thymol glycerine. etc,
makes a WASH that is bound to cure.
Old, obstinate cases, il is true. can
not 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 wonder
fully soothing, calm, cool sensation
that comes when the itch is taken
away. Instantly upon applying a few
drops of the wash the remedy takes
effect, the itch is allayed. There is
no need of eXperiment-the patient
knows at once.
Instead of trying to compound the
oil of wintergreen, thymol, glycerine,
etc, in the right proportions ourselves
we are using a prescription which is
universally found the most effective.
1t is known as ID. ID. d. Prescription
or Oil of Wintergreen Compound. 1t
is made by the ID. ID, ID. Co, of Chicago
and our long experience with this
remedy has given us great confidence
in its merits.

A Manufactured Climate

The gardeners of Paris get their
products on the market weeks before
the regular season for them. This
forcing of nature is described by Err
nest Poole in Success Magazine"
The secret is simply this; The
French maraichers have manufactur-
ed a climate to suit them. AS one
observer has said. They have moved
the climate of Monte Carlo up to the
suburbs Of Paris"
Some new prodigy of modern
science, this Not at all Only enor-
nous expense in money and in time.
The gardens, whenever possible, are
placed on land with a slope to the
south, and are well protected by
walls on the north and east, walls
built to reflect light as we'll as to
give protection from the northeast
winds
The ground is practically covered
with glass, not as in a greenhouse,
but by glass frames in the open,
"three-light frames of uniform size
twelve feet by four and a half; and
also by glass bells. These. too, are
Of uniform izeabout the shape OF
a chapel bell, a little less than seven
teen inches in diameter and from
fourteen to fifteen inches high. The
French call them cloches. You may
often see over a thousand frames and
over ten thousand glass bells in one
two-acre plot in the suburbs of Paris
A more recent innovation is the
employment of hot-water pipes run
under the soil, making Of the earth q
veritable steam-heated hotel, with
this essential difference. that the
hotel-keeper here is desperately eager
not to keep his guests, but to persu-
ad them to letaye on the earliest pos

The st. Adams Messenger is of the
opinion that the city of Burlington is
attempting to go the whole hog" in
its efforts to secure the location of
the Champlain Memorial on battery
park. It is rather difficule
to understand wherein spot
that possessed on historic
significance whatever until 1912
should be chosen for a memorial to
commemorate an event that happened
three hundred years ago. The Mes
senger's contention that the memorial
should be a Champlain valley instead
of Burlington affair is well taken.

RutIand Herald Raeks Down.

After giving space to a statement
of Judge Butler, in which the judge
declares that a certain newspaper
charge connecting him with the so
called salary grab is absolutely false
the Rutland Herald concludes
The Herall, for its part, cheerfully
gives space to the statement and
trusts that the subject may be gener-
ally dropped by the state press. 1t
has never undertaken to involve Judge
Butler in the sordid traffic conducted
in the matter of the judicial election,
and deeply regrets that over-zeal
should have made the present situa.
ton possible"
Thus does the doughty champion
Of undertaking repudiate the results
of its campaign of vituperation and
calumny, as far as the election of
Judge Butler is concerned.
But the mischief has been done.
The reputation of Judge Butler has
been smirched. The unfounded char
ges of the Herald have been spread
broadcast, even beyond the confines of
the state. Such papers as the Spring
field Republican and the Boston Her
aid have called attention to be corrupt
and debasing methods employed in
electing Judge Butler and the fair
name of Vermont has been dragged in
the mud and slime of graft and cor
ruption by an irresponsible and self
constituted censor of the legislature,
with a commission from his master to
assail any and everything that is sus-
ceptible of eXaggeration and distor-
| ton.
Just how such unjust accusations
affect the standing and character Of
a man, whose reputation for integ-
rity and honor has never been ques-
toned, will be seen from the follow
ing extract from an editorial in the
Mortified News.
Buffers haste to accept the Judge
ship, prevented him from getting a
voting record on the salary grab bill,
which was held up in the senate until
the judgeship matter was settled. In
view of all the circumstances in con-
nection with this judgeship an opin-
ion prevails that the next legislature
will do well to refuse a reelection to
Judge Butler. 1t is essential that the
people should have the highest posi-
BILE respect for the courts. The pol
itical manoeuyering by which Judge
Butler secured his position hardly
tends to increase the confidence of
me people in their judiciary. Nothing
would have a more Statutory effect
than the reputation of Judge Butler
when he comes up for reelection in
the next legislature"
We indorse the position of the
News. II Judge Butler was elected
by any corrupt bargain he should be
denied a reelection. Yea, more than
that, he should be compelled to resign.
Vermont can't afford to have a judge
connected with its judiciary against
whom the suspicion might rest that
his election to this exalted Office was
-procured by questionable methods.
But the Standard believes that
Judge Buffers election was clean and
above criticism and that the present
unfortunate controversy, which UNI
questionably is doing him great in
jury and casting a stain upon the
state, is due entirely to the oyermas-
tering passion of the Herald to work
the undertaking propaganda to the
limit-Enosburg Falls Standard.

Where Widows commit suicide.

Old customs die very hard in China,
says writer in the March Wide
World Magazine, and in several parts
OF the CELESTIAL Empire 1t is still con
sidered a high act of virtue for a
woman to commit suicide after the
death of her husband. According to
the law the proceeding is actually
legal in some provinces, and such Is
the state of public opinion that in dis
tricts where II is officially prohibited
the authorities rarely interfere. These
extraordinary voluntary sacrifices
may frequently be seen and | myself

Federal government has shown this to
be the case by some very conclusive
experiments, and if the experience of

of stalks in fields surrounded by fields
in which the stalks were not burned,
has shown increased yields of more
than a quarter of a bale per acre dur

unless the railroads decide to resist
the order, in which case there will
be a long, hard fight in the courts.
Heretofore the railroad commits
sion has been very successful in the
litigation growing out of refusal Of
railroad companies to obey it's orders,
and the laws governing the supervis'
ion of common carriers have been
sustained by the higher courts in al
most every instance.
Apparently the only question which
could be presented in the resistance
of the present order would be based
upon the reasonableness of the order,
and the success of the railroads would
undoubtedly depend upon the view OF
the courts upon that question.

Such a remedy is worse than useless.
Every day of life consumes a portion
of the tissues of the human body.
The food we eat serves to repair the
waste, and on can't build up the sys-
tenn by Withholding the material ne
cessary for these purposes. When
you have Dyspepsia or Indigestion,
or any form of stomach trouble, take
a little Kodol to help the stomach do
its work.
We say take Kodel, because it is
the only preparation that will digest
all the food you eat. Every table,
spoonful of Kodol digests IA pounds
of food. 1t supplies the same digestive
juices that are found in a healthy
vigorous stomach. There are otaer
preparations that are partial digesters,
but what your stomach needs is com.
plete rest. Kodol is the only prepa,
constituted that he needs a variety
of foods; to reduce the variety always
produces bad results. In 80 cases out
OF 100, Indigestion is due to lack of
some of the elements which consti
tute tie natural digestive juices. Ko-
dol sc piles just what is needed. Our
Guara3tee: Get a dollar bottle of
kodol. If you are not benefited-the
druggist will at once return your
money. Don't hesitate; any druggist
will sell you Kodol on these terms.

JACKSON, Miss, April 22.-Hon. G.
H. Afford, member of the lower house
of the Legislature from Pike county,
and for several years employed as
special agent of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, announces
that he will introduce bill at the next
session of the legislature authorizing
boards of supervisors in any county to
issue orders requiring the burning of
cotton stalks during the autumn period
where the boil weeyls have become so
numerous that there is no prospect for
the maturity of the remaining portion
of the crop.

will aid materially in solving the boil
weevil problem in Mississippi" says

impossible to enact a general law re-
quiring the burning of cotton stalks
in all counties at a specified season,
but, in instances where the board of
supervisors believe that the burning of
stalks would aid in destroying the
pest, it should be done.
During the autumn the boil weevil
is at the mercy of the farmer, but at
no other season is this the case. II
