CAUSE OF ECZEMA EXPLAINED

After years OF debate, medical au-
thorities are now agreed that Eczema
and other skin diseases are not seated
in the blood: but are caused by myriads
of microscopic animals snawing the
flesh Just below the epidermis. The
patient Is perfectly healthy; 1t is only
the skin that IL diseased.
Hence, scientists are now agreed
that YOU must cure the skin through
the skin. The medicine must be IN
LIQUID form in order to penetrate prop
erly. And we can say with confidence
that we have the true remedy for
Eczema in our store.
The instant you wash with this
soothing liquid you will find the itch
relieved. We positively assure you OF
this. VIII you try a bottle cat only

Prof. ]. b. Nichols, principal of the

experience he has never found such q
preponderance of boys in the classes.
Girls usually outnumber the boys. In
a city of the type of OXnard where
there is a great need of boys work, it
speaks well for the school authorities
that it has been possible to keep such
large majority of boys in school.
However, it has been the policy of
local corporations and business men
not to hire children who are of school
age during school months.

CHICAGO, Feb. Wheat has worked to o
higher level today after selling slightly lower
early Volume OF trade has been small as
compared with any day in January at least
Larger room traders were the best buyers and
really shaped the course Of values Shorts
helped after the tendency was well estab-
lshed. Early selling was overdone, the trade
having a decided bearish feeling carried ovel
from yesterday and somewhat encouraged BY
the continued large receipts and the poor cash
demand. We cannot see anything but the very
small stocks of wheat in Chicago, when the
market is strong, and we see nothing but the
very high price and large primary receipts
when the market is declining. These both
make trade and make purchases on breaks oi
sales on bulges prove profitable.
Corn was easy for brief interval early, due
to large receipts and favorable weather fol
their continuation The easiness, however
brought in fresh buying, in which former larg'
er eastern and miscellaneous western traders
were the active figures This dried up the
offerings and started the shorts to cover wifi
the result that prices improved materially

side investors were the best buyers after tho
advance was we'll under way, and many soca
