five. Stock Census to be Taken sy
 Them Instead of Special Agents.

Them Instead of Special Agents.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., March A, 19l0.-It has been decided by the Census Bureau authorities to have the census enumerators take the census of the number and value of live stock on the ranges of the Western states as part of the Thirteenth Decennial Census. be- ginning April 15 next.
 The census authorities are con yinced that the enumerators will be able to gather these statistics even more expeditiously, correctly, and economically than would be possible by special agents under existing conditions.
 This decision was not reached until after Assistant Director Will liam F. Wiloughby had returned to the bureau from series of con ferences throughout the West, which were attended by all the census supervisors in the range states. He was accompanied by Chief Statisticans William c. Hunt and Le Grand Powers, of the popu- lation and agricultural divisions, respectively.
 The supervisors in conference recommended that the work be placed in the hands of the emu merators. They assured the assls. tant director the enumerators can do it, in connection with the count of population and farms, with greater dispatch and economy thar could special agents. They stated that there would be no difficulty whatever if the livestock owners were made to appre ,iate the fac that in giving to the enumeratorI the information regarding thell livestock holdings there is absolu tely no danger of it being com municated to county assessors 0 Forest Service officials. The super visors stated that otherwise ther might be hesitancy to furnish thl data for fear it might mean extr taxation or larger grazing charges
 MT. Willoughby pointed out t them that under the act of Con gress providing for the presen census every supervisor, supervi; OTIS clerk, enumerator, interprete special agent. or other employe must make oath not to divulg any information contained in th schedules, lists, or statements ot tained for or prepared by tt Bureau of the Census to any pc son or persons. He informed thel that the penalty clause in the la provides that violation shall col stitute a misdemeanor, to be pul ished by fine not to exceed $l ,0( or by Imprisonment not to exc two years, or both fine and ir prisonment, in the discretion of tl court. The bureau authorities ha always maintained the positit that all information gathered by
 was for it's statistical use solel and would not under any circuT stances be imparted 10. any oth branch of the Government.

GREATLY PLEASED BY
 INDUSTRIAL WORK

That the industrial leaders of the Bir- mingham district had greatly expedited their work by the most cordial co-opera- ton was the announcement yesterday by the special agents of the department of commerce and labor who are here mak- ing an investigation.
 The special agents are trying to deter mine under what conditions the great army of workmen Is employed In this dis trict, their hours of work, their homes. the sanitary conditions, and, in fact, all details connected with this district
 So far, 1t is stated, the special agents have found every condition here equal to any industrial section in America. They are well pleased with the inspec- ton.
 The work of the four agents will con. tinue for several days. In speaking of the work, one of them said that Birming- ham was found to be so much greater than at first believed that the work would require a great deal more time than was at first thought necessary.
 The report of the special agents will be as glowing as that of the census bureau, which has called forth such widespread praise.
 The Investigations into working condi- tions by the federal authorities follow a Senate resolution which was adopted during the last days of the late Con gress. The resolution affected all the in- 1ustrial centers in the country.

ALL MY PIMPLEs GONE

.I. was ashamed of my face," writes Minnis Pickard of Altamahaw, N. c. Tt was all full of pimples and scars but after using D. D. D. Prescription I can say that now there is no sign of that Eczema, and that was three years ago."
 D. D. D. has become so famous as a cure and instant relief In Eczema and all other serious skin diseases, that it's value is sometimes overlooked in clearing up rash, pimples, blackheads, and all other minor forms of skin impurities
 The fact is, that while D. D. D. Is so penetrating that 1t strikes to the very root of Eczema or any other serious trouble, the soothing oil of Wintergreen, Thymol and other ingredients are so care fully compounded, there is no wash for the skin made that can compare with this great household remedy for every kind of skin trouble.
 D. D. D. is pleasant to use, perfectly harmless to the most delicate skin and absolutely reliable. It should always be kept on hand By a recent arrangement with the D. D. D. Laboratories of Chi cago, you can now get a trial size for a cents. This will give you positive proof of the wonderful effectiveness of this great remedy.
