For many years eczema was sup
posed 70 be a blood disease and was
erroneously treated as such. but now
the best authorities agree that eczema
is only skin disease, and must b.
cured through the skin. The eminent
skin specialist. DIR. D. ID. Dennis, hrst
discovered the eczema germ. and his
discovery was quickly taken up in
Germany and France.
TO kill the eczema germ, and at the
same time heal the skin. DIR. Dennis
compounded oil Of wintergreen, ,hymol
glycerine, etc. The remedy is liquid,
not mere salve, hence it sinks right
into the pores Of the skin. Washing
with this oil Of wintergreen compound
seems 20 take away the itch at once;
soon the scales drop away and the dis
ease disappears. The prescription has
now been used so long as 10 have prov
en- its absolute merit, and we do not
hesitate TO express our confidence in

LABOR NOTES

To get rid OF the flutterlng effect
of moving pictures an inventor has
applied the principle of the stereo-
scope, the picture being thrown
upon the screen by two lenses, in
front of which shutters open and
close alternately so rapidly that
there is no break in the series.
There are three women among
the nominees for the next Norweg-
ian parliament. One was chosen by
the liberals and two by the social
lists.
A New York woman has patented
counterfeit note deteotor on the
principle OF the old style stereo-
scope, frame to hold the note
passing in front of a strong magni-
flying lens.
Six bottles of Danish brandy
were discovered in the huge accord
ion of wandering minstrel who
had regularly travelled between
Denmark and Sweden during the
Swedish strike, when the sale of
alcohol was prohibited.
A number of Oil motor boats or
dered from the Osaka Iron works
by the residency general of Korea
have been completed and are to be
sent to Kure to be fitted with guns.
The boats are to be used to guard
the Korean coast.
The burden Of taxation on the
Japanese people for the present
year, including national and local
taxes and contributions to works
of Irrigation and to the repair of
damage caused to public works by
floods, shows an average of $22 per

'4,L]OCAL
!KLABOR

From all present indications
there will be scarcely anything but
the hardest kind of work for the
common laborers in Spokane this
winter. Principally. work in sight
for the cold months consists of
rock cutting along the streets and
excavations for buildings in sever
al of the huge rock piles in diff
ferent parts of the business Sec
ton.
Federal union No. 11,624 still has
two cuts to make through the solid
basaltic rock In the southern part
OF the city. One is at Eighteenth
and Madison, and the other on
Madison between Fifteenth and
Eighteenth. The first job can be
completed In short time, but
there is sufficient in the latter to
keep a small crew of men employ
ed nearly all winter.
Something has gone wrong. K.
G. Sweat, the architect. has re-
jected all bids on an extensive ex-
cavation Job at Washington and
Spofford. on which he advertised
for bids some time ago. 1t is un'
derstood that none of the bidders
offered to do the work at a very
low fieure, but 1t Is declared that
this had nothing to do with the
architects rejection of the whole
bunch of them.
On the contrary, Mr.. Sweat an
nounces to his bidders that he will
reopen the bids about Becember
10, under new specifications. There
fare number of contractors after
that job who are indulging in con
siderable speculation as to what
new specifications really means
in this case. The excavation will
call for the removal of about 10000
yards of solid rock, much of which
will have to be moved away from
the ground.
Adverse weather conditions of
lrle last few weeks have prevented

Throughout the summer on the
Job Thomas Maloney, the business
manager. Is contemplating giving
the city a bond for the completion
of the work next spring. Members
of the union are confident that the
city will accept the work already
done and that they will be able to
secure the money from the con
tract with the placing of bond
sufficient to cover the work that
remains for next spring. 1t Is now
too cold to finish the concrete
work of the curbs, and so far the
ground is not in fit condition for

A number of factories in Spo-
kane will close within another few

! Again, when war was imminent
between Brazil and Bolivia and
threatened to complicate Argentina
the labor organizations issued proc.

governments and declared that the

America during the past decade.
They frankly announce their deter
mination to raise wages and reduce
hours of labor, thus destroying
cheap production and the undersell.

ORGANIZED LABOR WORKING
TO ELECT MRS PRAGER

Organized labor is trying hard t
o elect Mrs. Prayer on the school
board today. A campaign commit
tee selected from various unions
affiliated with the central labor
council is scattered among the poll
ing places to support Mrs. Prayer
today.
The polling places are open to
voters at 1 o'clock and the election
will close at o'clock tonight Poll
ing places will be the same as pub
lished in The Press yesterday.
Labor is confident of it's success
in electing Mrs. Prayer, for she is
an experienced woman in the work
for schools. She was teacher for
years and was on the board of d.
rectors of the Portland, Ore,
schools just prior to coming to Spo-

Few people on this North Ameri-
can continent realize the immense
progress that is being made in the
Republics south of us in an indus
trial way. During the past few
years millions of European capital
hs well as considerable from the
limited States, has been invested in
Argentine, Brazil, Venezuela, Peru
Chile and other countries.
Shiploads of machinery have
been transported to those countries
and the natural resources are be
Ing exploited with rapidity that is
truly marvellous, not only in manu-
Featuring. but in mining and farm
ing. This transformation from the
bid, crude method of production tc
the modern scientific method has
likewise created modern probe
tariat-that is, the worker for
wages Is superseding the former
semi-feudal worker and small hus
bandman.
The development of the iron and
steel mills. railroads, cotton fac
tories, mining by machinery, and
great bonanza farms has central
lied thousands of workers in a
given area, where a few years ago
there were only a handful.
The result is that the laborine
Glasses have followed the example
of the capitalists and organized
their forces. During the past year
there has been an increasing num-

Scores of railroad men are long

enabled to live in their own homes
with an assurance of an ability to
reach their work either day jor
night. There are bakers, cooks,
walters and other restaurant work
ers; shopmen and hundreds of men
whose work keeps them in the sa-
looms and other places till long
after the "owl" car has gone, who
are renting downtown because OF
the lack of means of reaching out

midnight or even after l o'clock.
