Aside from those national relics, In

it Is strange commentary on the
vicissitudes of buildings to note that
the majority of the places standing
which have gained Immortality by
sheltering the first president are near
Iy all of them old inns, or taverns. In
the majority of cases Washington's
connection with the old houses is
limited to having taken a meal in the
old posthouses, and, indeed, the only
other buildings identified with his
Philadelphia visits are those where he
was entertained, either publicly or So
cially.
Between 1757 and 177S it does not
appear that Washington visited the
city, but in the latter year he passed
through Philadelphia on his way to
New York, where he placed his STEP
son in Kings college. Thereafter he
was more frequently seen there, and
after he left New York, in 1890, when
the capital was removed to Philadel-
phia, he never again visited New York,
and the last years of his life were
passed very largely in Philadelphia.
1t appears that Philadelphia very
nearly had Washington for a perma-
nent resident at one time. When con-

Ballinger, secretary of the interior,
is here today on an official tour to
Investigate matters connected with
the interior department. He is de-
voting particular attention to the
work of the reclamation service in
Its several projects.
Conditions at certain Indian
agencies" he said, ARE far from
satisfactory and require rigid in
vestigation. The president has also
asked me to familiarize myself
with the question of the reclama-
ton of arid lands.
THE government has spent
something like $50,000,000 from the
proceeds of the sales of public
lands for reclamation work. The
investment is so large and the
work so important that the presi'
dent wants me to conduct an in
vestigation at close range in the
same way that he sent Secretary
Dickinson to Panama to become ia
miliar with the construction of the

Druggists Find Eczema Cure

The local druggist is naturally
slow to recommend remedy for
any disease; he will make a recon-
mendation as rule, only after he
has been thoroughly convinced.
For he is not looking merely for
one sale, but must have perma-
nently the confidence of his Gus
toners.
Perhaps no remedy in the drug
gist's stock has been more widely
endorsed by druggists themselves
than the specific eczema cure, oil
of wintergreen, thymol and glycer-
inc, as compounded in d. D. d. Pre-
scription.
Among hundreds of letters from
prominent druggists we quote a
few:
Mr.. Higginson Of the Higginson
Drug Co., Wichita, Kan, says:
1--WE have a number of very en-
thusiastic people who have been
cured by D. d. D. Prescription.
These cured patients do as much
to increase the sales as any adver-
Using You cannot make your ad-
vertising too strong, as we are our
selves enthusiastic in pushing the
goods"
The Voegeli Bros. Drug Co.. Min
neapolis, Mimi; T. P. Taylor &
Co., Louisville, KY; Wolff-Wilson
Drug Co., ST. Louis, Mo-; A. Baur,
Terre Haute, Ind, and scores of
other leading druggists have writ
ten the strongest kind of endorse
ments for D. D. d. Prescription. q
We ourselves have carefully in
vestigated this remedy and find
that 1t is simple compound of
oil of wintergreen, thymol, glycer-
inc and other healing ingredients.
Our long experience with this rem
edy has given us the greatest con-
fidence in it's merits, and if any of
our friends in this town are now
suffering from eczema or similar
skin diseases, they should not de-
spair. Call at our store and ask
about D. d. D. Prescription. Will

REWARD FOR THE kIDNAP-

The sentencing last week of Edi-
tor G.. e. Warren of the Appeal
to Reason" socialist publication,
to six months in jail and to pay a
fine of $1,000, has caused consider
able unfavorable comment among
socialists in general and many
working men.
Warren was convicted of hav-
ing sent through the mails cir
cular offering 1900 reward for the
kidnapping of former Governor Tay-
lor of Kentucky and his return to
that state. The circular was issued
and mailed broadcast at the time
the officers of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners were kidnapped and
taken to Idaho from Colorado.
The object of the circular was
to call attention to the inequality
before the law of the officials of a
labor union and the ex-governor OF
the state of Kentucky.
1t is claimed that the prosecution
of Editor Warren was ordered by
President Roosevelt after the
United States attorneys had in

had been no violation of the law.

Kern's client-the man who

There was good reason for the

ably guessed that already.
The money was tainted. Not IN
the vague general sense that trust
millions are, which some college
heads--not all-refuse to take, but
very particularly and specially.
If Baker had taken the money he
would probably have been sent to
