about a year ago an itching humor
began to appear around the back Of my

pretty soon it covered both my hands
and got up over my wrists and even
up to the elbows. The itching and
burning were terrible. My hands got
all sGaiy and when ! scr ate as 81 l
surface would be covered with blisters
and then get raw. The eczema got so
bad in around the pit CT my thumbs
that could not move the thumbs
without deep cracks appearing: went
to my doctor, but his medicine could
only stop the itching and did not seem
to heal my hands up at all: At night
sleep, often lying awake until we'll toward
morning, then waking up still tired.

over 100000 and the imports 10
| the United States amounted to over
| 23.000.000.
General Ed wards comments at
length upon the recent tariff legisla-
tion of the United tSates, whereby
goods from the Philippines, except
rice, may be shipped to the United
States free of duty under certain
limitations.
1T is believed that the people of
the Philippines have every reason to
be content with the new tariffs, and
that there will result from them that
prosperity In the islands which should
be the result of their relation to the
United States" says General Ed
wards
The net result so far has been TO
increase the price paid to the grower
for his leaf tobacco ten per cent. The
price received by the producer of
sugar has increased twenty-five per
cent. These are increases which may
be attributed wholly to the true trade
relations. fluctuations in the worlds
markets having been eliminated
General Edwards says the rate up
to date of the importation into the
United States of Philippine cigars mas
been at the rate of about 75.000,O0O
per year, or one-half the limit for
free admission. The effect on the
American industry, he adds, of this
importation may well be Judged by
the fact that these cigars may be
found only with the greatest diff
Guilty"
The imports of the Philippines dur
ing the last fiscal year, was over S27,-
100000. American goods constituted
seventeen per cent of the total value
of Philippine imports General Ed
wards predicts that under the new
free trade conditions this percentage
will be largely increased
General Edwards points out that
with the minor exception of the
trouble with the Moro outlaw, Jikiri,
on Jole island, the connstabulary
maintained quiet and order in all
parts of the Philippines without the
active Intervention of the army.

and the younger members, feeling
that the inaugurating of n new pol
icy devolves largely on them, take
hold of the work with a vigor that
they might not show otherwise. On
the other hand. nearly every lodge
and camp contains some old members
who have committed the ritual to
memory. They have given ii hours
Of study and take pardonable pride
in their accomplishment. Few of
these older members will commit au-
other ritual to memory. And, when
these faithful few find themselves
no longer necessary to a correct eX
emplification of the secret work they
frequently lose interest and join the
ranks of non-attending members. 4

may and may not be a good thing.
The revision of the NJ w. A. rit-
ual was ordered recently by the Pc
oria head camp. Accordingly the

Talbot. met at the Great Northern
hotel in Chicago to receive sugges-
tions and do the work of revision.
Several forms had already been
prepared tentatively. and the revis-
ion was completed in short order.
Then the officers and team of Ravens
wood Camp No. 11,4T1 announced
that they were prepared to eXemplify
the new ritual for the committee and
head officers. This was done at the
Ravenswood hall by c. n. Rowley,

r. S. Swenson and b. II. Gaul.
The complete ritual was then pre-
sented to the executive committee at
Rock Island, H., and was approved
by them and ordered printed. 1t will
be ready for distribution throughout
the United States soon after New

The new ritual retains much of
the old work. which has been short
ened and simplified. Several new
scenes have also been added.
