Through the complaints of these

Sol Salberg took home a package
of a new tangled mustard plaster
that looks like cheese, the other
day, and thoughtlessly left it on the
kitchen table. An hour or two later
there was very sick domestic in
the Salberg household. A doctor
was summoned, but the case both
cred him little.
Been eating anything unusual ~
he asked the girl.
Nothing but spoonful of that
new kind of cheese Mr.. Salberg
brought home" she said.
The cheese" was examined, and
the mystery solved. An antidote
was not difficult to find.
Watches that will not run are
often spoken to unkindly,
But something worse than that
happened to balky timepiece on
Riverside avenue the other day. A
man halted in front of the Paulsen
building, pulled out a fine looking
watch, opened it, said naughty
word and then flung the watch on
the sidewalk with great force.
Springs. wheels, jewels and other
things flew in every direction.
The clatter attracted a crowd of
men and boys, and there was a
scramble for the broken pieces. But
the man who had taken revenge on
the watch that refused to run
moved on uhconcerned.
Grocers report an astonishing in.
crease in the demand for honey
since the price of butter has fol-
lowed the cow that jumped over the
moon.

never sold SO much before. It's the
high price of butter that is respon.
sible.
You see, you can buy pure honey

grades are only a quarter. With
butter soaring so high, many house.
wives find it good domestic econ
omy to seek something in it's place.
Nearly all children like honey, and
doctors recommend 1t as healthful
addition to their diet"
A woman guest at local hotel
raised an awful fuss the other day
and declared she not only would not
pay her bill, but would sue the
house if glove was not returned
to her. Some waiter. chambermaid
or bell boy had stolen it, she de-
clared, and she wanted the culprit
dragged before her at once.
Sure you lost it," asked the man
ager.
Sure I lost it," shrieked the
woman. "Of course I'm sure lost

Ten Years. Test
of Eczema Cure

After 10 years test, oil of win
tergreen, as compounded in d. ID.
D. Prescription, has so thoroughly,
so absolutely proven it's merit for
skin diseases, that we have ar.
ranged with the d. D. D. Labora-
tories of Chicago for a special offer
on a rs cent trial bottle.
We ourselves became convinced
years ago. Cure after cure and the
testimony of the worlds leading
skin specialists showed us that the
way to cure the skin is through the
skin; not, however, by means OF a
salve which always clogs the outer
skin, but with penetrating liquid
that gets to the inner skin, killing
the germs while soothing the
healthy tissue.
The Oil of Wintergreen Com
pound, d. d. d. Prescription, pene-
trates while soothing the skin, and
20 cent bottle-a good sized trial
bottle-is now offered, besides the
81 bottles, in order to convince ev-
erybody. For this trial bottle
ought to be enough to show the
way to the cure, and at any rate
the liquid the instant it is applied
will take away that itch-yes, Just
as soon as the wash is applied, the
skin is soothed and refreshed.
