RATIONAL CURE FOR ECZEMA
No More Dosing the stomach-cure
the Skin Through the Skin.

When you have scratch on your
hand you wash 1t out and cleanse it and
then the skin cures itself. You do not
take blood medicine to cure a festered

The best skin specialists today are
agreed that the only way to cure the
skin Is through the skin. If the eczema
patients were really suffering from an
inward malady. the entire body and not
only the skin would be diseased

Two strikes in two days is the rec

colored laborers struck because the

The stack will be 10 feet high, and
already has been erected about rs
feet. On account OF the draft through
the stack the workmen laying brick
at the summit struck and the others
followed through sympathy. Yester-
day afternoon white workmen were
secured, and the work progressed
well until this morning when the
white men struck for higher wages.
The contractor refused to grant the
concession and the colored laborers

COUNTY HIGH Is
NOT TO Be BUILT
UNTIL NEXT YEAR

Owing to the delay in making ar
rangements fer tao erection of the
new county High school building at
Heath. 1t has been decided to not to
attempt its construction this summer.
Instead the county school officials
have leased the college building at
Lone Oak. where the first session OF
the county High school will be held.
The plans for the building have not
been completed, and the work has
been stopped temporarily.
The county school officials realized
that the building could not be erect
ed by September, and thought 1t
would be better to go slow about the
construction. II will b erected by
September. 1910. IL is probable
that the work will begin early next
spring, and the contractor will have
plenty of time The building viii be
constructed of marbleerete.
Prof. ]. S. Ragsdale has been elect
ed principal of the school II is
thought that one teacher will be SUN
cient for the frst session, but If the
attendance justifes it it is the inten-
ton of the school board to employ an
assistant. The session will begin
September 8, and will continue for
nine months. The consolidated
school will be taught in the same
building with the High school
July 81 the divisional boards will
meet to elect teachers for any vacan-
cies that may exist in the teaching
corps There are only a few vacan-
cies. as there was a large number of

THE TAX COMMISSION MEETING THIS
MORNING Is EARNEST AND ENTHUSIASTIC
Those Who Attended Are
Greatly Interested and
Everybody Takes Part in
Discussion.

When the tax commission. appoint
ed by the governor to make an in
vestigatlon concerning the state reve-
nue. system, met In the council cham
Der of the city hall this morning at
$3.50 o'clock there was a small but
enthusiastic gathering of the repre-
sentative business men of Paducah
present.
The object OF this meeting was to
learn the opinions of the business
men concerning the present system.
Mr.. William II. Mackoy. of Coving-
ton. presided as chairman of the
meeting, and as this is a voluntary
act everyone felt at liberty to ex-
press his views.
Mr.. Mackoy opened the meeting
with a short address, saying that this
is merely a volunteer act and service
on his part and that the people OF
Paducah should have an advisory
commission to ascertain the views of
citizens OF this state and examine
systems in other states, and that
be voted upon.
The following gentlemen made
brief talks: Messrs w. II. Mackoy,
William Hummel. F. NJ Fisher, Will
lem Marble, d. A. Yeiser, Frank
Lucas J. p Smith, ]. A. Rudy and
John X. Hendrick.
The opinions expressed by these
men were that taxes work hardships
on the farmers. as people In the city
limits are delinquent about paying
taxes and the city limits should be
extended: that in order to increase
the population and bring in capital
rom other cities the city should de-
crease the rate OF taxation; also that
the business men should take more
interest in these affairs and send bet
ter representatives TO the legislature
People I'm this state send out their
money to other states to be loaned
because OF the low rate OF interest on
mortgages. The assessors should add
a third column which gives the value
the owner puts on his property for
sale. This could be done by a slight
change in the law.

meeting this morning. only a few
being present. II was decided to con-
tlnue this meeting until tomorrow
