How to Tell Whether a Skin Aztec
ton is an Inherited Blood Disease
Or Not.
Sometimes 1t is hard to determine
whether skin affection is sign OF a
blood disorder or simply form of
eczema Even physicians are often
puzzled in their diagnosis. The best
way for any one afflicted is to go to
w. H. Sudhoff's or any good druggist
who handles pure drugs and obtain SO
cents worth OF poslam. Apply this.
and II the itching stops at once and
the trouble is cured in few days it
may be set down as having been ecze-
ma, as this is the way poslam acts in
the worst cases of eczema. and in cur
ing acne. herpes, blotches, letter,
piles. salt rheum, rash. BARRIERS and
other forms of itch, scaly scalp, and

America Said to Permit Loss
Of Millions by the Lack
OF Care.
EUROPE GIVEN AS PROOF
EVEN WITH GOOD PROTECTIVE
APPARATUS THE CITIES OF THE
UNITED STATES SUFFER HEAVY
DAMAGES,

New Yark, May 1S.-Although the
per capita loss by fire in this country
remains from ten to thirty times great
er than in the principal European CEN
tiers, President J. Montgomery Hare Of
the national board of fire underwriters
in the campaign for protection against
the flames.
President Hare showed that for the
last five years the average annual loss
by fire in this country has been over \
quarter of billion, the total for the
period having been $1.346.OO2.O 600.
which is daily destruction Of nearly
$75O.oOO.
The heavy average was large aug
mented by the San Francisco and Bal
timore fires. but taking the last two
years by themselves. President Hare
showed there was a loss of S2lJ.OS4.-
100 in 1907. and of Sol7. SS5. $50 in 1908
indicating. he said. that the annual de-
struction is likely to continue above
the $2oo.0Oo.OOO mark. He pointed out
that for the first three months OF 1900
600. giving no promise of Improvement.
Do Not include Forest Fires
These figures do not include" said
President Hare. "the loss from the
burning of forests. nor do they take
into account the indirect cost of fires.
such as the expense to the public OF
maintaining fire departments and
waterworks.
1T often has been remarked that the
appliances for the extinguishing of
fires in Europe fall far below the
standard prevailing in the United
States and the same probably is true
of the water facilities for extinguish-
ing fires, at least outside of the large
cities and yet. with all our superiority
in these respects, we lead the world In
the destruction of property by fire.
1.-The questions of construction OK.
plain a part of the difference and eli
matte conditions may play their part
but when everything is considered
believe that the conclusion will follow
that the main reason Is recklessneef
here rs against the care. forethought
and wise supervision in Europe
In support of the belief that 1t ID the
carelessness of the American public
that is most to blame for the condi-
lions here. he pointed out that in . list
of SO .716 fires in the United States
during the last five years. at least one
half could be properly ascribed to care
!essness in one form or another.
Guards Urged Upon Nation.
One of the most promising OF
the movements to restrict the de.
struction by fire is seen in the
work of the national c0nservar
ton commission. The underwriters
have made the following recommenda.

ANTI MARRIAGE
VOW DISCOVERED
Geraldine Farrar's Engage
ment Has Disclosed a
Strange Compact.
FIRST TO SEEK A WAIVER
THREE OTHER GIRLS ARE PRiN-
CIPALS IN AN ODD AGREEMENT
WHICH WAS DRAWN UP OVER
TEN YEARS AGO.

Melrose, Mass, May 18.-Behind
the recent announcement of the en-
gagement of Geraldine Farrar to Sig
nor Scott, the baritone, is the story
of an anti-marriage compact made in
this town nearly ten years ago, hither-
to known only to the four girls in
volved. one of whom is Miss Farrar.
The other three are becoming famous
in Paris, Berlin, and Milan.
With her marriage the anti.matri-
monial agreement will be broken, but
not without the permission of the 9TH
er three girls, who gave Miss Farrar
her freedom recently.
One Man In on Secret.
The only man let into the secret
was Victor G. Kirmes. father of Elna
kirmes, who was Miss Farrar's
schoolmate years ago. and is now the
idol of Milan. With her, and equally
fortunate, is Elvira Leveroni, while
the remaining girl is Maude Abram-
son, who was the favorite soprano OF
the late Oreste Bimbon composer
and conductor.
During their younger days the four
girls were inseparable here and as
they grew older there sprang up a
rivalry between them Friends offer
ed them assistance to study and train
their voices. The one great obstacle
was that if they went abroad one pre-
ferred to go to Paris, another prefer
red Dresden. while still another desir-
ed to study In Rome.
None to Marry Without Consent.
Rather than handicap their future
success they formed the anti-matri-
monial agreement, which stated that
none should marry until each had be-
come famous. And on no condition
were any of them to marry until they
had gained the consent of the others.
A few weeks ago Miss Farrar wrote
each of the girls asking them: May
marry and thus break our solemn
agreement" The announcement of
her engagement soon followed
The Misses Leverori. Abramson
and Kfrmes are still hu, engaged in
their work of reaching ss same goal
which Miss Farrar has attained, so
that they may in time beg her per
mission to break the compact and
wed.

tions to the commission as the best

tons to the commission ~ the best
means of cutting down fire losses>
First that the public should be
brought to understand that property
destroyed by fire is gone forever and
is not replaced by the distribution Of
insurance. which is . tax collected for
the purpose.
Second, that the states sevenlly
adopt and enforce building code
which shall require high type OF safe
construction.
Third. that the states establish and
maintain an official or officials who
shall be required to investigate the
cause and origin Of all fires.
Fourth, that municipalities adopt or.
