new FINANCE LAWS.
STARTED TO GET
CONGRESS TO ACT.
Senator Aldrich Heads Commission to
Revise Laws-President Taft Favors
Central Bank-Preliminary Report of
Commission Will Soon Be Made and
Presented to Congress on Converting.


In something less than five years-to
be exact, on June 80, 1914, the Aldrich-
NIeeland financial act will expire by
limitation, and unless before that date
1t is replaced by wisely framed meas
ure of broad scope the country again
will be in the perilous situation that is
commonly believed to have resulted in
the panic of 1907-S. There is a general
realization of the necessity of legisla-
ton on this subject. Speaker Cannon
believes that more extension of the
present law, with perhaps a few amend
ments, will suffice. President Taft looks
with favor upon the proposition to ere
ate great central bank, and there are
all sorts of intermediate schemes.
Probably that which commands the
greatest support will be based upon the
Recommendation of the monetary com
mission that has been at work for more
than a year gathering the material for
the construction of the actual legisla-
ton.
1t is fully understood by Senator AL
drich, who heads the commission, and
by students of finance, that it will be
difficult to arouse public interest in this
rather abstruse subject and that only
by general agitation can congress be
brought to action.
Preliminary Report to Congress.
Therefore, soon after the return to
America from Europe Of Senator Al
drich, Professor Andrews and Other
members of the commission, which il
Iexpected to be about the middle of mex
month, preparations will be made fol
the publication of the preliminary re
Iport of the commission, and it is hopet
that this can be ready for submission
to congress when it reassembles in De
cember. This will be only the begin
ming; for the full report is to be so com
prehensive that it can not possibly b
completed within another year.

to aid the doomed men while the up
turned boat moved rapidly toward the

sank when almost at the bank of the

Laying aside all prejudice in the

Cass Lake are really to be pitied
that they have such continual
combat with the government officials

more farming territory opened to
settlement. There is little doubt
but that the land around Cass Lake,
at least generous part of it, is well
fitted for agricultural purposes, and
if laid out into farms would make a
thriving community.

HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA
Oil Of Wintergreen, Thymol, GIycerine,
Etc., Used as a Simple Wash.

It really seems strange that so
many people suffer year in and
year out with eczema, when it is
now no longer secret that oil Of
wintergreen mixed with thymol,
glycerine, ETC., makes wash that
is bound to cure.
Old, obstinate cases, it is true,
cannot be cured in a few days,
but there is absolutely no sufferer
from eczema who ever used this
simple wash and did not find
Immediately that wonderfully
soothing, calm, cool sensation
that comes when the itch1 is
allayed. There is no need of
experiment-the patient knows at
once.
Instead of trying to compound
the oil of wintergreen, thymol,
glycer1ne, ETC., in the right pro-
portions ourselves we are using a
prescription which is universally
found the most effective. It is
known as the D.. D. D. Prescrip-
ton, or Oil Of Wintergreen Com

experience with this remedy has
given us great confidence in its
