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

Since the old fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given up by scientists, many
different saves have been tried for
skin diseases. But it has been found
that these salves only clog the pores
and cannot penetrate to the inner
skin below the epidermis where the
eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous
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. D. Prescription at
$1.O0 bottle, but for the benefit of
those who have never tried the pre-
scription, we arranged with the D.
d. D. Laboratories of Chicago for a
special large trial bottle at 25 cents
on special offer now. This first
bottle ought to convince any sufferer,
and, at any rate, it will surely take
away the itch at once. L. p. Van

Sociability was the order of the
hour and the time passed pleasantly

club and it's organization some four
teen years ago. The organizers of
this worthy club were the hostess
Mrs. Baker and Mrs. Will Bruce

The first meeting was held at the
Bruce home. OF those present at
the founding of the club, only four
were in attendance Saturday, Mes

cries were agreeably recalled and
to complete the afternoons pleas

a parting gift from the club, very
handsome cut glass sugar bowl,
creamer and spoon tray. Mrs. Low

full presentation speech and Mrs.
Baker feelingly responded. Her
warm appreciation of the gift could
be but family expressed in words

surprise attending it enhanced its
value as memento of deep and last

HEED THE WARNING.
Many Leon People Have Done

Many Leon People Have Done So.
When the kidneys are sick they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. By examin-
ing the urine and treating the kid
neys upon the first sign of disorder,
many days of suffering may be saved.
Sick kidneys expel a dark, ill-sm ell
ing urine, full of "brick-dust" sedi-
ment and painful in passage. Slug
gish kidneys cause a dull pain in

dizzy spells, tired, languid feelings
and frequently rheumatic twinges.

kidneys only; they cure sick kidneys,
and rid the blood of uric poison. If
YOU suffer from any of the above
symptoms you can use no better rem

a Transformation; Life Without Air

Three or four years ago, j. B. Arm
strong, of this city, received some
samples of wheat from China, sent
him by Secretary of Agriculture
James Wilson. Mr.. Armstrong sowed
some Of the wheat and the balance
he put in a bottle and sealed the
same. Recently he ran across the
bottle and instead OF wheat it is en-
tirely filled with wriggling worms
that have entirely consumed the
wheat. The bottle is literally choked
with them, not room for another
worm. Whether each kernel of
wheat has changed to worm, or
whether from parent worm the
others have grown and consumed the
wheat we do not know, but they have
apparently thrived there these three
years without air. 1t is a curious
phenomenon, but not very pretty
one.-Shenandoah Sentinel-Post

Laugh: Sure. You'll Scream.

You just can't help it when you
see The Widow Perkins" The rea-
son why is that it is something diff
ferent. 1t is a comedy with music;
a musical melange with real plot.
1t tells story of people you know
natural people; the widow and her
boy; the course of true love which
does not run smooth because man
inhumanity makes the path crooked,
and it tells the story brightly, hum
orously and with musical setting
which provides the one real, genu-
inc novelty of the season.
And the company is one you just
mitable, as the Widow Perkins"
provides laugh every moment he is
on the stage. Elizabeth De Bold is
an actress who can sing and in both
departments She will more than sat
isfy. Gruber and Kew furnish much
Iof the amusement and more than
that they are musical wonders, put
ting up an act which is bound to
create enthusiasm, and the company
in its entirety is one which will sat
isfy the most critical.
The Widow Perkins" will please
because it is novelty; because it is
genuinely funny; because the must
cal numbers are unusually good and
because it stands alone as the most
distinctively meritorious musical
comedy of the season.
For the production Manager
Glines has provided special scenery
for each and every act. The Widow
Perkins" company in fact is run on
the principle that what is worth do
ing, is worth doing we'll, and a prom
Use made to the public is a pledge
which must be fulfilled if the public
confidence is to be gained

1t is true that Mr.. .Dyar. living in

advantage of better markets than is
common with the average fruit raiser
and farmer, and hence reasonable
allowance should be made for this
fact. Notwithstanding this, and also
notwithstanding the fact that apples
