Greeley for twenty-five years has gone
carefully over his books. compiling the
cost of groceries and dairy products In

suit shows that all dairy and farm pro-
ducts. butter, bacon. eggs, cheese. ETC.,

cent In cost since 1890. but the cost
of the bulk of all other groceries, with
the exception of lard has not in

STATE CAMPAIGN

(By United Press Leased Wire)
SEATTLE, Nov. 1.-The closing
days of the campaign in Washing
ton, with few offices excepted, are
merely days of waiting. For the
most part, the republican nomina-
tons at the primaries were equiva-
lent to election. There is a hot
fight on in the First congressional
district between William e. Hum
phrey, present republican congress
man, and Judge w. w. Black of Ev-
erett, the democratic candidate
Black is depending on polling a
large progressive republican vote.
In the Second district, Stanton
Warburton is having hard fight in
Chehalis county, but will probably
pull through. His labor record and
his record in the state legislature
are being attacked. LaFOllette has
a certainty in the Third congress
sional district.
The senatorial situation as far
as Miles PoindextXer is concerned
is settled, although there are faint
rumors of a democratic-republican
combination in the legislature to
defeat him. The possibility of SEN
ator Jones resigning to accept a
federal bench position leaves large
possibilities for political scheming

LIQUID CURES ECZEMA
WHERE SALVES FAIL

In regard to skin diseases, med
zeal authorities are now agreed on
this:
Don't imprison the disease germs
In your skin by the use of greasy
salves. and thus encourage them to
multiply. A true cure of all ecze-
matous diseases can be brought
about only by using the healing
agents in the form of a liquid.
WASH THE GERMS OUT.
A simple wash: A compound Of
Oil of Wintergreen, Thymol and
other ingredients as combined in
the D. D. ID. Prescription. This pen
trates to the disease germs and de-
stroys them, then soothes and heals
the skin as nothing else has ever
done.
A 25 cent trial bottle will start
the cure. and give you instant relief.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE
SPOKEN IN HUNGARY

NIENNA.-It is not perhaps gener-
ally known that the English language
is widely spoken in certain portions of
Hungary As an instance of the large
number of inhabitants preferring the
English language to the Hungarian,
a curious episode occurred while a par
liamentary candidate was about to
speak at a public meeting i'll the coun-
ty of Trencsin. The candidate com
menced his speech in hungarian and
was promptly requested by the audi
ence to speak in the English language.
The request was complied with to the
great satisfaction of those present, and
at the close Of the address a vote Of
thanks was also passed in English. 1t
appears that the inhabitants have be
come so familiar with English through
emigration to America, that, owing 10
the widespread knowledge of this Ian
guage, the government has for some
time been obliged to have the members
of the frontier police force instructed
in that tongue.
