HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA
Oil of wintergreen, Thymol, Glyceri
Etc Used as q Simnle Wash

Oil of Wintergreen, Thymol, Glycerine,
ETC., Used as Simple Wash.
1t really seems strange that so many
people suffer year in and year out with
eczema, when it is now no longer secret
that oil of wintergreen mixed with thy
mol, glycerine, etc, makes a wash that's
bound to cure
Old, obstinate cases, it is true, cannot
be cured in few days, but there is abso-
lutely 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 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 prescription which is universally
found the most effective. 1t is known as
the D. D. D. Prescription, or Oil of VIM
tergreen Compound. 1t is made by the
D. D. D. Co. of Chicago, and our long
experience with this remedy has given us
great confidence in its merits.

The Yosemite Reservoir.

The Scenic Preservation society en-
tiers the lists prepared to fight fire
with fire" In the matter of the Yosem-
lite National park as the site Of
municipal reservoir. Members Of the
society dispute the proposition OF the
petitioners for the grant that the
greatest good to the greatest number"
will be secured If congress sanctions a
huge retaining dam across Tuolumne
river at the foot of IIetchHetchy val
ley, one of the finest gorgeS In the
whole reservation. The water in the
reservoir would Of course be useless
for drinking purposes unless large
area of the park drained by the river
should be practically alienated from
public use. Upon this point the New
York Independent says:
The issue involves more than the de-
struction of Hetch- lIetchy. The reservoir
grant assumes a divided use Of the Tuo-
lumne watershed by the city as a source
Of supply and by the public As a recrea
ton ground. The present state Of sani
tary progress holds these two uses TO be
Incompatible without filtration or other
publication process. The city advocates
pass by nearer sources on the ground that
they require filtration. Therefore the next
move will be the restriction or exclusion
Of the public for camping and recreation
from more than 500 square miles OF the
Yosemite National park. This includes
the Tuolumne canyon and Tuolumn0
meadows. The former Is the most re-
markable canyon In the United States.

That Ride to Warrenton.

It has happened more than once
mat an army ride as far as from
Washington to Warrenton might have
changed history. Pope would have
been glad to greet 5000 or 5000 horse
back fighters coming up that way

been ratified by such a column In blue
swooping down ON his lines when he

Good news doesn't depend upon horse

the celebrated ride from Client to

when Paul Revere warned the Licking
ton farmers about the redcoats. But
1t was a blessed thing that Phil Sher-
idan could ride twenty miles and get
in fresh. Had It been forty or even
fifty that eventful morning Of Cedar
Creek he would have made 1t and per-
haps saved the day Just as he did.
Twenty-four hours before Sheridan
drew rein on the battlefield at Cedar
creek he was farther from the danger
point than Warrenton Is from Wash

which reached him twenty hours later
he would have ridden thrice twenty
miles. and there would have been no

The Russian peasant does not live:

''Eitchevo" is his panacea for oil evils.
And yet the Russian moujik is really

Peasant" he is a splendid. well built
man. large limbed. large headed and
healthy. He is equally unaffected by

lie IS unSpeakably stupid, however,
and his dream Of happiness is to gorge,
TO sleep as much as possible through
the winter and dance and sing in the
summer. But the strangers first OBJ
lection to the moujik is that he smells
not because he does not wash HIM

iage there are public baths-baaza-
and the peasants wash themselves
there unfailingly every Saturday in
order to be allowed to go to church on
Sunday. for the Orthodox church en-

The Russian peasant is always poor
and generally Ia debt. He plows the
land In the same way that his father
plOwed 1t and gets rs little for his la
Dor. His main worry In life Is how to
pay the governors taxes. If he SAYS
he cannot pay he is logged, or perhaps
he will sell part OF his next years
