WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA.
They Clog the Pores-Only a
Liquid Can Reach the Inner
Skin.

Since the old-fashioned theory
of curing eczema through the
blood has been given up by SCI
entists, many different salves
have been tried for skin diseases.
But it has been found chat these
salves only clog the pores AMI
can not penetrate to the inner
skin below the epidermis where
the eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality of penetrat-
ing-probably explains the, ire
mendous success of the only
standard liquid eczema cure, oil
of wintergreen as compounded in
D. d. d. Prescription. After ten
years of cure after cure, the
worlds leading skin specialists
have accepted this as the true
eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate
to recommend D. d. ID. Prescrip-
ton at $1.00 a bottle, but for the
benefit of those who have never
tried the prescription we arrang-
ed with the d. d. D. Laboratories
of Chicago for special large trial
bottle at 25 cents on special Of
fer now. This first bottle ought
to convince every sufferer, and,
at any rate. it will surely take
away the Itch at once. Charles

RABBIT HUNTING IS EASY.
Deep Snow Makes it Difficult
for Mr.. Cottontail to Show

Rabbit hunters are having
great sport these DAYS. With the

not make any speed, and conse-

PLOT TO ROB
NATIONAL BANKS
CONTROLLER SAYS FAKE
EXAMINERS ARE MAX
ING ROUNDS.
One Crook Attends Directors
Meeting at Kenosha and Skips
Without Paying Hotel Bill.

Washington, Dec. 25.5Sus-
picion that campaign OF safe
blowing in national banks is be-
ing planned on large scale has
entered the mind of the controller
of the currency.
Not long ago the controller re-
ceMed telegram from the Ma
tional bank of Kenosha. Wis, in
quiring if one p. 6. or c. V.
Wright was a regular or special
national bank examiner. Controll-
er Murray replied that no such
man was or ever had been bank
examiner. Correspondence then
developed that man represent
ing himself to be bank exanin-
er had attended one or two OF
the directors meetings, but no
opportunity to examine the bank
given him. The directors became
suspicious OF the man. who had
avoided them at the close on ac-
count of an injury to his
ankle, and on going to
his hotel had found that he
had decamped without paying his
bills.
Other Cases Reported.
Other recent representations of
ahis kind have been reported and
the controller has turned the
cases over TO the secret service
and the department of justice,
with view to having a thorough
investigation made, and the sys-
tenn of crooks broken up. The
controller has also advised ma
tional banks to use extra precau-
ton in admitting pretended bank
examiners to their premises.
Every authorized examiner has
not only hrs commission, but a
pocket card signed by the con-
roller of the currency, and banks
are advised that one or both
should be produced where the
pretended examiner is not even
| known.
Was Tried Two Years Ago.
A year or two ago the same
game was tried on an extended
scale. The opertors began in Ne
wark. y. ]. Access to one bank
was refused the supposed exam
liner, but he would have been per-
nlitted to count the cash Of an
other had the vault not been clos
ed blythe time lock. On being de-
tected the man and his pals left
town and resumed operations in
the western states.
