DRUGGISTS FIND ECZEMA CURE

The local druggist is naturally slow
to recommend a remedy for any dis
ease; he will make such recommended
ton as a rule, only after he has been
thoroughly convinced: he is not look
ing merely for one sale but must have
permanently the confidence Of his Gus
toners.
Perhaps no remedy in the druggists
stock has been more wildly endorsed by
druggists themselves than the specific
eczema cure, oil Of wintergreen.
thymol and glycerine, as compounded
In D. D. n. Prescription.
Among hundreds Of letters from
prominent druggists we quote few:
Mr.. Higginson Of the Higginson
Drug Co., Wichita. Kansas, says:
eve have a number of very enthusi-
astic people who have been cured by
D. D. D. Prescription. These cured pa
tients do as much to increase the sales
as any advertising. You cannot make
your advertising too strong, as we are
ourselves enthusiastic in pushing the
goods"
The voegeli Bros. Drug Co., Mime
apolis, Mimi. write:
"The remedy is giving splendid salts
faction and our customers are doing
much to advertise its merits"
T.. P. Taylor & Co., Louisville, KY,
says:

with D. D. D. and have had a number
Of customers tell they would not take
$500. % for the cure effected in their
case"
Wolff Wilson Drug Co., st. Louis.

be a medicine of great merit"
A. Baur, Terre Haute. Ind. (estab-
lished 81 years.. writes:
ITO all people suffering from any
form of skin disease, the D. D. d.
remedy has my unqualified endorse
ment. During my extensive expert
ence as a druggist it is the only
eczema remedy on the market that

Of several remarkable cures"
This sort Of endorsement from high
grade druggists is the very best en-
dorsement that any remedy can have.
Tt shows that not only one or two but
many customers of drug store are
reporting to the druggist the favorable
results with this eczema remedy.

HULLHoUsE METHODS.
Conditions Of Desidence-some Of tn
Clubs and Festivals.

When Hull House opened its doors
in 1889 there were but two residents
Miss Adams and Miss Starr-but the
number has rapidly increased, until al
the present time there are nearly A.
residents. Since the construction OF
the mems apartment men have beer
admitted to residence at the house.
Non university qualification has eve,
been made in regard to residents, al
though majority have always beer
college people. The expenses of thu
residents are betrayed by themselves
under the direction of house com
mittee on the plan of cooperative
club.
The force of men and women is en-
gagged in self-sustaining occupations
says the South Atlantic Quarterly, anc
gives it's leisure time to the house. Few
salaries are paid, and those only Tor
technical services.
When vacancies occur applicants Tor
residence who promise to be of value
in the settlement are received Tor SIX
weeks, and at the end of that time are
voted upon in residents meeting
Residents defray their own Expenses OF
lodging and board and are pledged to
remain for at least two years.
During the winter 5000 people came
to Hull House weekly, either as mem
bers of organizations or as parts OF an
audience. Among the social organlza-
lions the Jane Club is important. This
is a cooperative boarding club Tor
young women and is self-governlng.
The weekly dues of SO meet all current
expenses of rent, service, heat ana
food.
There are various circles within the
club for social and intellectual pur-
poses, and the atmosphere IS one OF
comradeship rather than thrift Inc
Jane Club nine years ago moved INTO
house built expressly for its0use.
There is a similar club for boys, but
more important still are the purely
social clubs There are two clup-
houses one for boys between 10 ana ~

batting the attractions of the saloons
and other loafing centers of vice. Inc
hovs and Young men have organized
various basketball teams and track
teams which have been quite success
full in contests with other teams from
the city. The Woman's CLUB was
organized with II members In 1881
and now has total Of $50.
| Every winter members of the varl-
ousclubs give plays = Shakespeare
1bsen, George Bernard Shaw. the
Ajax" of Sophocles in the original
and in fact plays in most known
languages, living or dead.
| But the festival which is perhaps
the most picturesque is the Mardi Gras
annually celebrated at Hull House. Il
is the pet affair of the Italian colony
whose members appear sometimes IN
beautiful dress imported from ltaiy

annual ST. Patricks cotillon, and otne'

1t is reported in Europe that the
grand Duchess Elizabeth, widow of
Grand Duke SergluS, who was assassf-
mated in 1905, is to take the veil, hav-
ing already entered a convent. She is
one of the most popular of the Russian
women of rank and it has been de-
clared that had she been with her hus-
hand at the time he would not have
been killed. She is a sister of the
czarira and has been called the beauty
of the Russian court, but the terrible
somberness of the life of those in high
places in Russia has made her care less
for the pleasures of the world, and
since the death of her husband she has
lived in almost complete retirement

Companionship in Travel.

OF course you will take the wife and
children when you go to Europe. God
pity you if you have no wife and
children to take. Seeing Europe alone
is dull, stupid. monotonous. uninter-

and hearing nothing but strange voices
that rasp your nerves with unintelligi-
bic jargon, with no sympathetic COM
you have humilitated an impudent
porter, and no one to share your
protests against exorbitant hotel bills,
is lonesome business, to say the least
The chief delight of European travel
comes from the sympathetic ear and
the. beaming face of the one who
knows you and understands you best,
who shares your surprises, your dsap-
pointments, your tribulatiOns, who
cheers you in your hours of travail and
adds a joyous touch to your moments
of ecstacy, who listens with patient
fcrtitude to your opinions of every
thing European, whose gentle presence
is benediction, and whose cheerful,
hopeful companionship is better
tonic than salt sea air-oh, well, if
you haven't a wife, take your sister,
your cousin or your aunt. Take some
one. Even your old classmate or
