"I have two little girls who have been troubled very badly with eczema- One of them had it on her lower lnbs- 1 did everything that l could hesar of for her. but It did not give m unsil warm weather when 1t seemingly snbsided. The next winter when 1t became cold weather the eczema started aS ain and also in her head where it would take the hair out and leave bare patches as large as a quarter of a dollar. At the same time her arms were sore the whcle length of them. I took her to a phy- sician and he said that she had two distinct types of eczema l continued with him for several weeks and the child grew worse all of the time. Her sisters arms were also affected in the same way.

VICTORY ASSURED
 FOR THE BUDGET
ITS AUTHOR SENDS A CHRIST MAS MESSAGE TO THE UNITED STATES ON THE OUTLOOK FOR LORDS.
Special from United Press.)

NopcCidi HUH CHAtSQ ETcSS-l
 London. Dec. 20.-David Lloyd George. Chancellor of the Exchequer, author of the financial budget which the House of Lords rejected and the chief figure in English politics in fighting for favorable vote for the budget in the coming election, gave to the United Press today, a rChrist- mas message" for the United, States on the status of the budget
 ''The budget is gaining in popular ity at an enormous rate. the chan cellor said, and the outlook for vic tory in the January election grows more sanguine every day. There is now no possibility as I see 1t, for the budget to be defeated"
 Asked as to the application of the budget principles to America, MT. Lloyd George replied, "I would not attempt specifically to apply our pro gram to America because I am un- willing to give the impression of in- reference in the affairs of another nation The American politicians would be the first to resent the opin- ions of any foreign cabinet minister with respect to their internal affairs.
 There are, however, a number of essential features in the budget that should be of international .applica- ton. The first of these is the taxa ton of unearned land increment This principle is defensible in any nation Another is the Liberals policy of en- larging the country's resources by government subsidy for forestation or the development of timber lands. The reclamation of waste land and the Liberal party's plan to improve the distribution of labor by means of local government exchanges are two other principles that would work to the advantage of any nation. These schemes vitally affect the great mass of people and strive for a better dis tribution of National benefits without working a serious injury to any class"

"PATSY LYNCH TO
 DO PATROL DUTY
ALTHOUGH HE IS STILL OF FICIALLY POLICE AUTO
 PATROL DRIVER.
Policeman George North Is, Likely
 Successor to Lynch Although Of. cer James Burns is Being Con-
 sidered.

The dropping of Patrick Lynch as driver of the police auto-patrol has resulted in rather novel situation. It means that Bridgeport will have a man who never has been appointed a patrolman and will not be ap- pointed, at least not right away, who will do duty as a regular police of ficer. He will patrol the streets and if necessary can make arrests. He is still driver, officially, and will draw drivers salary s3.25 per day under an ordinance recently adopted by the city council.
 The foregoing is the statement made this morning by President George E. Hill of the police board. He said he had an opinion from the city attorney making the above facts legal.
 At the last meeting of the board it was voted to retire as driver, Off, ficer Lynch because of accidents W hich happened to the car while he was at the wheel. It was left with President Hill and Superintendent Birmingham to arrange for another driver. What would become of Driver Lynch no one seemed sure of and much speculation was rife He will still be known as the driver of the department and receive drivers day although for a time he will not perform a drivers duty.
 President Hill said that Patrolman North would very likely be the next
