SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA
Why salves Fall While a Simple
Liquid Has Accomplished
Thousands OF Cures.

II ~ now thoroughly established
among the best medical authorities
that eczema IS purely a skin dis.
case, due TO a germ. and durable
only through the skin. II Is not a
blood disease at all. In fact. thou
sands OF people suffer with skin
disease and are perfectly healthy
otherwise, and thereby prove they
have no diseased blood.
Smeary salyes cannot reach the
germs because they do not pene-
trate the skin. The only way TO
reach the germs Is by means of a
penetrating liquid.
Such liquid can be obtained by
simply mixing ordinary oil of win
tergreen with thymol, glycerine and
other healing agents. This com
pound known as ID. D. D. Prescrip-
ton, stops the itch instantly---and
the cures all appear TO be perma-
nent. In fact, IL took thousands of
cures, case after case, before the
best scientific authorities were con
vinced OF the absolute merit of
this remedy. ID. ID. ID. Prescription
kills the germs In the itching skin.
Its effect Is seen within one minute
after the FIRST application. We ca
peeialiy recommend d. ID. d. Soap
in connection with the treatment.

Word was received in Kenmare on
Tuesday evening that DR.. Lindberg of
Fairdale had most miraculous es-
cape from death at Adams Tuesday
morning while attempting to board
the Thief River line passenger train
west bound.
It appears that the physician lost
his footing while the train was in
motion, and owing to the slippery
condition of the platform which was
covered with ice and snow, he was
thrown under the coach ITO what
seemed an inevitable death. With
presence OF mind the man grabbed a
rod and hung on with all his strength
while he was slid along the rail
with his head ,esting on the cod
steel. Quick action on the part of
the train crew brought the train to
a standstill about twenty feet from
where he fell, and when help arrived
it was found that the doctor had ie-
ceived a three-inch cash in his neck,
the edge of the fange of the wheel
being full against the mans head
when he was picked up.
Those who say the accident say
that had the car gone six inches
further, the mans head would have
been severed from his body. After be-
ing picked up the man was cared TO-

Germany uses glass bricks for build.
ing purposes with measurable sue
cess. In Berlin is constructed small
villa, the walls Of which are built Of
glass bricks Of several shades Of dark
green and blue. The glass bricks are
especially adapted to construction
where light, cleanliness and neatness
are particularly in demand. In Ham.
burg they are utilized in place Of
windows. They admit light in walls
which police regulations require to
be fireproof and windowless.
In addition to admitting light to
dark Railways, rooms ETC., they are
said to possess the same strength az
ordinary clay bricks. They are also
utilized In walls in yards and parti-
tons in the interior Of houses, sales
rooms, offices, workshops, ETC., as we'll
as for the construction of verandas,
hothouses, kiosks, bathrooms. hospi.
tails, ice factories, butcher shops, rail-
road stations, breweries, stables and
in other places where cleanliness,
light and uniform temperatures are
especially desired.
The bricks are also made with q
wire coating for freproof walls. In
some Of the recently erected buildings
In Milan. Italy, bricks made Of glass
have been adopted for ground and up
