Eczema Cured
in Simple Way
No More Dosing the Stomach
Cure the Skin Through the Skin.

When you have a scratch on
your hand you wash it out and
cleanse it and then the skin cures
itself.
The best skin specialists today
are agreed that the only way to
cure the skin is through the skin.
For statistics show that nearly all
eczema sufferers are perfectly
healthy in all other ways expect
as to their skin. And if the ecze-
ma patients were really suffering
from an internal malady the entire
body and not only the skin would
be diseased.
You can prove Immediately the
relief of a true skin cure by using
oil of wintergreen as compounded
in ID. D. d. Prescription. This IL
quid kills the disease germs while
toning up the healthy part of the
skin.
We have now handled this
| meritorious and thoroughly scien-
tific remedy for so long and have
seen its reliable results so many
times that we freely express our
confidence. Will H. Murgittroyd.

uBt the Judge couldn't see 1t
that way.
He looked about for few weeks
and then announced that he would
become candidate to succeed
Senator Piles.
People who don't see very far
politically smiled when the Judge
announced his latest plan to break
into office.
Even the friends of Senator
Piles were at first inclined to
scott at the Judge. But not so
now. So dangerous to their inter
ests has this candidacy of Judge
HUMPHREYS become that they are
seeking on all sides for a plan hav-
ing for it's aim the elimination Of
Judge HUMPHREYS from the sena-
torial race.
One, plan they have, and this is
the repeal of the act of the last
legislature in putting back into
convention the nomination of SUI
preme court justices. Whether or
not the recent action of the King
County Bar association in unani-
demanding the repeal of
this act was brought about by the
Piles people cannot be determined.
But that the supporters of Senator
Piles are among those most earn
estly in favor of the repeal is quite

call it the big stick in Cleveland

they don't want.
They don't vote on all legisla-
ton, but only when the city council
puts through something that a lot
of people are bitterly opposed to.
Fifteen per cent Of the voting
population, by petition, can have
an election called.
In this one city, where the refer
endum has been tried, it applies
only to street railway legislation.
They are having a campaign now
for signatures to a petition.
Men who are interested are cir
culating the petitions. Hired work

Tables and chairs are set up at
prominent corners downtown.
Stores and cigar stands and sa-
looms have the petitions on the
showcases.
Both sides are circulating the pc
titions. Mayor Johnson, leader of
the eight year war against the trac-
ton company. is circulating them
to show that he wants the fran.
chises his council passed to have
the sanction of the people.
The reason for the opposition
circulating the petitions is obvious
The franchises are unfriendly to
them.

VENTiON FAVORS SPECIAL
INTERESTS,
iRY United Pressl

OLYMPIA, June 23.-Members
of the legislature have received an
appeal from Christopher Horn,
president of the Direct Primary
league, asking them to repeal the
measure passed by the last regu-
lar session making supreme court
judges subject to nomination by
conventions instead of primaries.
Horn does not mince words in de-
nouncing this change in the pri-
mary law. Among other things
he says:
This repeal of supreme judge
nominations was worked up by an
old political ring for special inter-
ests. The party platforms declare
for direct primaries; most of the
legislators are pledged to direct
primaries. Any one voting for TAX
ing supreme court nominations
from the people have repudiated
their party platform and have
broken their pledge to the people.
HE eANb heahAiS'N MI w
primaries was committed in order
TO control the supreme court of
this state for special interests and
personal ends. Five members of
the supreme court are to be nom
mated and elected ri next election.
They know that these nomina
lions can be controlled through II
packed convention, but fear that
the people win not elect the men
they wish to put into these offices.
This In the reason for trying to
control the supreme court.
"A great wrong has been done
10 the people OF this state. If you
are really public servants and
working for the interests of the
people you will right the great
wrong done at the last session OF
the Legislature"
