ABOUT ECZEMA CURE
Read What Your Druggist Says About Oil of
wintergreen Compound.

Druggist Charles Rhodes submits
the following to the readers of The
Record.
For several wears we have announced
with our recommendation. that we had
found positive cure for eczema; a
simple compound with other healing
ingredients.
Yet we know there are people right
in this town who have eczema. and
still have never tried this remedy
We have, therefore. arranged with
the d d ID Laboratories of Chicago
for a special offer of trial bottle at
% cents instead of $l00 hottie

We offer this trial bottle with our
recommendation and assurance that
just as soon rs the patient washes his
itching skin this mild liquid will
take the itch away instantly

INTERNATIONAL live STOCK SHOW.

1T is especially important that en-
phssis be placed on the necessity of
i've stock production at this time
when the value of grain has been
brought to that point which makes it
a strong tenn patton for men to market
their grain rather than to feed it and
market it in the form of live stock.
II is not enough to simply tell men
that live stock farming stands for a
higher type of agriculture than grain
farming. They. must have it thrust
on them. and it is doubtful if any in
stituton is better able to perform this
important ask than the geat Interna-
tional Show
Since its inauguration the attend
ance at the International Live Stock
Exposition has been made up largely
of those who are specializing in some
kind of live stock production. All
breeders of pure. bred cattle have com e
to believe this annual outing is neces-
sary if they are to keep pace with the
times. AS all the pure bred record
associations hold annual meetings dur
ing a period covered bv the In terna-
tional. the occasion affords the best
opportunity of the whole year for men
to meet their fellowbreeders who are
engaged in the same line of PREDICTION
But it is Intended that the Inter-
national should cover broader field
than this and include in its attend
ance even those engaged in raising
grade cattle on the farms of the corn
belt. because. after all. the most de-
sired Improvement that can be sought
or is the improvement in the character
of the cattle sent to the meat market
for slaughter This paper therefore
desires to especially emphasize the
Importance of what we might call the
small farmer laying aside his duties
for few DAYS to attend this great ex-
position. Those who are in doubt
about the educational value of attend
ance should consult those who have
been there. either as exhibitors or
visitors. in the past Ask them il
lessons will be learned that will help
solve the problems out on the eighty
or quarter section, and we will take
our chances as to whether the reply
will be favorable or unfavorable.
Scarcely a month more before date of

be pushed along rapidly so that bust

A FOX IN THE DAIRY

Several years ago at an old-fash-
toned farm house called little hall, in
Boxted, a small village lying between
Sudbury and Bury st. Edmunds, Suf-
folk, there lived a farmer and his wife
who thought much of their cows and
dairy, but they were rather pestered
with foxes, as the squire of BoXted
hall, an ancient mansion, being lord
of the manor, did not allow them to be
moleSted, as they were reserved for
sporting, and so it happened that the
farmers wife on going into her dairy
one morning was Mortified to see a
fox of an enormous size lying dead Gas
she supposedly on the floor. The diaries
at that time were large and airy, with
large lattice windows and floors paved
with clinker bricks, which were often
scrubbed down with a birch broom and
much water. A brick was left out of
the wall level with the floor for a sink
hole, where all the refuse was washed
out; the fox in his nightly prowls
around the house appears to have
scented the cream through the win
dows or sink hole, and as he would
like to taste it, squeezed himself
through the hole into the dairy and
made his way to the cream pot, and
as it was very nice he ate it all up.
He swelled himself up to such a size
that he could by no means get back
through the hole again, and hearing
footsteps coming he laid down on the
floor and feigned to be dead. The
woman, suspecting what he had been
doing, looked into her cream pot, and
finding it all gone she was so exasper-
ated that she took him up in rage,
thinking he was dead, and with an
ugly word, threw him cut into the back
yard, but to her great CONSERVATION
and dismay as soon as Reynard found
he was at large, and once more free
to use his legs, he bounded off at full
speed, leaving the woman to grieve
over the escape of the audacious and
crafty thief.

A japanese dentist does not frighten
his patient with an array of steel in
struments. All his operations in tooth
drawing are performed by the forefinger
and thumb of one hand. The skill nee
essary to do this is acquired by long
practice, but when it is obtained the
operator is able to extract half dozen
teeth in about half a minute, without
once taking his fingers from the pa
tents mouth. The dentists education
commences with the pulling out of pegs
which have been pressed into soft wood;
it ends with the drawing of hard pegs
which have ben driven into an oak
plank with a mallet.

NEW DISEASE IN
SOUTHERN STATES

Pensacola. Fla. October "a new dis.
ease in the south, known as Creeping
eruption" has been discovered by Capt
F. H. Gosman, post surgeon of the artil-
lery corps stationed at Fort Barrancas
The victims are two artillerymen who
were recently attacked by the disease, and
after ineffectual treatment by an assist
ant surgeon they were turned over to
Captain Gosman. This is said to be the
first case of the kind in the south and
the fourth case known in the United
States.
According to Captain Gosman the dis
case Is caused by the lodgment of the
eggs of a horse fly, and while not neces-
sarily fatal, causes great discomfort and
when not properly treated and the pa
tient is allowed TO scratch. becomes very
aggravatng. Photographs have been
made and will be forwarded with full
report of the case to the department at
Washington.
