There is no cure for an itching palm

cure the worst cases in few days. SO

piles, and scaly scalp, all of which are
different forms of eczema, accompan-

Poslam comes in two-dollar jars, but
fifty cents worth will answer in cur
ing any of the diseases mentioned. 1t
can be had of any druggist. The Nc

Learn to Use the TELEPHONE,

only about one person in every ten
knows how to properly use the tele-
phone" said a district manager of one
of the local companies. "Yes, sir, I'll
stand by my guns on that assertion;
and I think 1 can prove my point. Nine
out of every ten persons talk entirely
too loud over the telephone. They ac-
tually shout and make so much noise
that they drown out all semblance of
clearness. Then they can't hear, and
the first thing you know there is a
complaint about poor connection and
faulty service. The correct way to talk
over the telephone is to talk as you
do in ordinary conversation, or even
a trifle lower. People can't seem to
realize that the telephone will carry
a whisper even. No, they must talk
loud enough to be heard from Tenth
and Chestnut street to Germantown
if those be the connected points Just
try yourself. Try the low, we'll modu-
lated voice, and see if you do not get
infinitely better service out Of your
telephone in the future"

Hereditary Influence.


The attempt of the defense to prove
hereditary influence was begun when
j. P. Dougherty, attorney of Chicago,
formerly of Dougherty and Rockwell,
took the stand to tell of his acquaint-
ance with Tim and Tom Scanlon, twin
brothers of Eds mother. He said that
at one time one Of them, which one he
was not sure, became violently insane,
about 1880, and that he helped catch
him after he ran away in the middle of
a three-day blizzard, to go to Mason
City, where he said his brother was
sick, altho he did not know where his
brother was. Dougherty. with the off,
GERS, chased him six miles before they
caught him. Then he fought the pur-
suers until overpowered. and talked
unintelligent gIbberish. When they got
to Mason City they found the other
brother at Father Corlan's home crazy
as a bed bug. For several days the two
Scanlons kept their watchers busy.
Do.ghertv says that Ed bears a strik-
ing resemblance to his insane uncles.
The state made a determined effort
to make Dougherty say that the Scan
Ions were drunk, and not crazy, but
they did not impair his testimony, but
strengthened It in the minds Of most
people. =

Pat Mcnamara was the next witt
ness. He told all he could Of his broth
er's life history. He says that Ed was
never. a boy who was healthy. until
he was about IA years old, that he was
trifle backward and siclsly, did not
care to play like other boys, and that
when he grew older he cared nothing
for sports, hunting. theaters or other
amusements, and scorned the society
of women-except his mother-and
was generally queer" He never cared
to 60 away to visit, but preferred to
stay at home with his mother. When
she died, Pat says that he grieved
deeply, and has mourned for her ever
since. He had much affection for her.
and the change since she died has
been noticeable. He spoke OF her FREE
quently, and always grieved for her.

that all miners temporarily imprisoned
In gas poisoned chambers may be en-
abled to breathe life sustaining oxygen
until they can be brought to the sur
face by the heroes of this new rescue
work. The rescue corps doubtless will
take Its place In popular approval
alongside the United States life saving
service, which rescues thousands every
year from death by shipwreck.
The apparatus employed by the mine
rescuers Is similar to that worn by
deep sea divers. over the head Is
placed a helmet, air tight, and upon his
back the rescuer carries q tank con-
tanning enough oxygen to last him two
or three hours A tube carries the
oxygen into the helmet. The impuri-
ties In the breath as II is expelled are
absorbed by a small quantity of po-
tassium hydroxide carried In a sepa-
rate tank. The nitrogen In the air re-
manning in the helmet after the rescuer
puts it on above ground Serves TO di-
lutte the oxygen sufficiently
Wearing this apparatus. the rescuer
can pass without peril through dense
smoke, fire damp, natural gas, coal dust
or the deadly black damp which killed
so many of the miners at Cherry.
Each rescuer carries an extra tank of
oxygen for the resuscltation OF victims.
A mouthpiece is fitted over the face of
the man who Is overcome by foul air
OF any kind. A trained man induces
artificial respiration by compelling the
body movements employed in the case
OF drowning person, and the exhIla-
rating oxygen passes into the lungs,
revivifying the victim.
II Is the object OF the government
not only to train men for this rescue
work at the several stations now in
operation and TO be established. but
also 10 instruct groups OF miners at the
various mine centers, so that there will
be always above ground some men who
can put on the life saving apparatus
and descend to the rescue of their
comrades at moments notice. Sew
eral miners at Cherry, who had but a
few hours instruction In the use Of
the apparatus. went down and helped
to rescue the twenty survivors.
The rescue corps of the United States

origin Congress appropriated $15O,O0O
