HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA.
Oil of Wintergreen, Thymol,
Glycerine, Etc., Used as
Simple Wash,

1t really seems strange that SO many
people suffer year in and year out with
eczema, when it is now no longer a
secret that oil of wintergreen mixed
with thymol, glycerine, etc., makes
wash that is bound to cure.
Old, obstinate cases, it is true, can
not be cured in few days, but there is
absolutely no sufferer from eczema who
ever used this simple wash and did not
find Immediately that wonderfully sooth-
ing, calm, cool sensation that comes
when the itch is taken away. Instantly
upon applying few drops of the wash
the remedy takes effect, the itch is al
layed. There is no need of experiment
the patient knows at once.
Instead of trying to compound the
oil of wintergreen, thymol, glycerine
etc., in the right proportions ourselves
we are using prescription which is
universally found the most effective.
1t is known as the d. ID. D. Prescription,
or oil of Wintergreen Compound. 1t is
made by the D. d. d. Co., of Chicago, and
our long experience with the remedy
has given US great confidence in its
merits. L. P. Van Werden, Leon, Iowa.

Keep Your
Bowels Open
A Safe Certain Home Remedy that is Sold
By All Druggists

A fact any doctor will verify is that
constipated people suffer most from dis
ease. Regular bowel action is absolutely
necessary to health People who are
constipated either part or all of the time
must use something to make their bow
els move. This should not be vio-
lent purgative or cathartic that merely
tears it's way through the bowels empty
Ing them of waste matter for the time
but leaving them in a weakened state
that prolongs the constipated condition.
DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin is an easy,
pleasant, natural laxative that removes
the waste matter and establishes regular,
daily movements without pain or grippe.
Children and delicate women should
never be given strong physic for it not
only weakens the bowels but the entire
system. DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin
serves as a tonic and an aid to digestion
as well as a laxative that is certain in it's
effect upon the most obstinate old cases
and yet safe and pleasant for a baby
With the fist few doses the i'll effects
of constipation, such as dyspepsia. indi-
gestion, liver trouble. biliousness. fatu-
ency, sour stomach sick headache. bloat-
ed stomach, ETC., quickly disappear 1t
is a remedy that should be in every home
for every member of the family at some
time has need of a safe. sure laxative.
Mrs. j. C. Cooper, Chicago. ILL.,, writes:
81 use DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin for
myself and family. I keep it on hand
constantly, as find it to be most pleas
ant laxative and is all you claim for it."
Sarah J. Houser, Eureka Springs. Ark,
says: vi would have been dead had it
not been for DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Fepsin.
1t is the best medicine l ever used for
constipation, indigestion and biliousness."
M. R. Zerlel. Troy. Ohio, considers it
the best known laxative for children.
We are glad to send a free sample to
any one who has not used it and will give
it fair trial. Write today to Pepsin
Syrup Co., 3O5 Caldwell Bldg, Monticello.

Representative Ollie James, of Ken


Representative Ollie James, of Ken
lucky has introduced resolution the
purpose of which is to ascertain the at
titude Of President Taft concerning an
income tax. In this resolution Presi-
dent Taft is quoted as saying, in a
speech at Columbus, O., on August 16,
1907, that sin times of great national
need, however, an income tax would be
of great assistance in furnishing means
to carry on the government" And
again, Representative James refers to
President Taft's message, wherein it is
estimated that there would be deficit
in the treasury by July 1, of 100000
900. With these utterances as basis,
MIR. James asks the house to request of
the president if, in his opinion, "the
times of great national need" have not
arrived when IAN income tax would be
of great assistance in furnishing means
to carry on the government" and the
president is asked, if he does SO believe,
to submit to congress recommendations
relative to imposing tax upon incomes,
1to the end that the rich may bear their
just proportion of the burdens of the
government"

NO TROUBLE ABOUT REVENUE

Instead of depicting the national
treasury, a downward" revision of the
tariff will replenish it. This is the de-
liberate judgment Of custom experts.
The reduction of imposts on certain
commodities will largely increase i'm
ports. The present Dingley tariff law
has been high prohibitory wall as to
certain foreign products, both raw and
manufacture When the duties on
these products are lowered importation
will begin again. This gain to the
treasury will Offset the loss on other
products.
Even if there should be temporary
net loss in revenue through "downward"
tariff revision little wholesome econ
omy by congress would avoid the neces-
sity of any special direct taxes. A
leading republican organ accuses the
late congress of squandering many use
less millions in appropriations to get
even with Roosevelt. Be this as it
may, the last congress managed to ap-
propriate $30,000,Q00 more for this year
than for last year. Economy did not
rule.
We are told that expenditures must
increase, because the nation is growing
and new policies of expansion cost
money. Very we'll. Scientific tariff re-
vision can be made to yield all that the
government requires, and at the same
time will Tighten the burdens of con-
sumers. The motive of genuine tariff
revision is not to produce less money
for the government, but to equalize the
burden of tariff taxes.
The trusts have been able to shut out
certain foreign products by high tariff.
They have deprived the government of
the revenues that would accrue from
normal importations under low tariff.
They have made American consumers
pay outrageous prices for home manu-
features. Does the government treasury
benefit by the latter? On the contrary,
it is the trusts treasures that benefit.
And always it is the American con-
sumer that gets the worst of it under
high tariff. He has not even the knowl-
edge that he is being robbed by the
government for the common good. The
robbers are private corporations, though
they get their commission from congress
in such monstrosities as the Dingley
law.-Chicago Journal.

THE PAYNE TARIFF BILL.


BY so much as the Payne tariff bill,
presented to the house yesterday, is
progress toward a revenue measure it is
protectionist retreat. 1t is hest
tating and grudging redemption of the
implied party promise of needed cor
receive tariff revision which, we are
free to confess, goes farther in the
right direction than there was any
reason to expect. To propose measure
is. however, one thing; to pass it an
other. There will be still greater
reason for public satisfaction if, after
the bill shall have run the gauntlet of
debate in the house and senate, it shall
not be largely shorn of the features
which SO strongly commend it to the
friends of revenue reform. Philadel-
