WHY SALVES FAIL
CURE ECZEMA
They clce the Pores-onIy Liquid
Can Reach the Inner Skin.

Since the old-fashioned theory Of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given UP by scientists, many
different salves have been tried for
skin diseases But it has been found
that these salves only clog the pores
and can not penetrate to the inner
skin below the epidermis where the
eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous,
success Of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil of wintergreen as
compounded in D. d. D. Prescription.
After ten years of cure after cure, the
worlds leading skin specialists have
accepted this as the true eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend d. d. D. Prescription at
$1.OO bottle, but for the benefit of
those who have never tried the pre-
scription, we arranged with the D.
d. d. Laboratories of Chicago, for
special large trial bottle at 25 cents
on special offer now. This first
bottle ought to convince every suf-
ferer, and, at any rate, it will surely
take away the itch at once.

Friday, January 7, 1910.

The President has let 1t be known
that he will recommend the enact
ment of law providing for the crea-
ton of corporations by the general
government The first problem that
confronts him is that of interference
with the taxing powers of the states.
Any effort of the general government
to take from a town, village, city or
state the power to raise revenue by
the imposition of a license on those
transacting business in the several
localities is certain to meet wide OPP
position. If Mr.. Taft is able to meet
this objection his progress will be
substantial, but even the goal will be
far off. The doctrine of States
rights" has undergone remarkable
revision in recent years, but some of
the supporters of that doctrine are as
firm as ever and it is known they will
take determined stand against what
they regard as long step toward
Capitalization of power at Washing-
ton. Mr.. Taft will be able to point
out many striking reasons why it is
essential that the federal government
shall increase the scope of it's juris-
diction over those soul-less persons
known as corporations. Practically
all of the foreign commerce of this
n0uut1.v 10 now trancactad hv pornnr-
ations and yet any one of the forty
six states has the power to exclude
such corporations from it's boundar-
les, or to impose on them regulations
which would prevent their doing busi-
ness. This fact has enabled carriers
to plead that they must maintain
high rates for interstate shipments in
order to meet the low rates which
they are compelled to make on do
mestic shipments by state legislative
enactments. There are many other
reasons which the President can urge
in support of his proposition that
federal incorporation is essential to a
normal and healthy growth of the
nations commerce both at home and
abroad. Mr.. Taft has raised a ques-
ton which will not be settled by con-
gress this winter for it involves a
radical departure from conditions
which have obtained since the begin
ming of the government.

ground that this disability made it

by vocal quartet which was well
rendered and proved very pleasing to
the audience.
The last musical number of the
program was rendered by Bro. Full

valuable assistance in making the
program very pleasing.
After the installation the audience
were invited to attend ball and
participated in banquet at the town
hall.

Robert Bacon's nomination as
United States ambassador to France
was sent to the Senate on Monday
1t was confirmed on Tuesday and on
Wednesday Mr.. Bacon sailed for
Europe. He came to Washington
Tuesday afternoon where he held a
conference with the members of the
tariff board. Not single member of
the corps of Washington correspon-
dents saw him or knew that he was
in the city. Mr.. Bacon's first five or
six weeks in Paris will be busy ones
for he has been charged with the deli
cate diplomatic duty of persuading
the Foreign Minister of the French
government that this country must
suffer no trade determinations in the
markets of France. On the success
of Mr.. Bacon's efforts will depend
whether the maximum tariff of the
United States shall be imposed
against French imports after March
81 next.
