WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA
They Clog the Pores-Only 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 salyes have been
tried for skin diseases. But it has
been found that these salyes only
clog the pores and can not penetrate
to the inner skin below the epider-
mis- where the, eczema germs are
lodged. q
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. Prescrip-
ton. After ten years of cure after
cure, the worlds leading skin spe-
cialists have accepted this as the
true eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend d. d. d. Prescription at
$1OO bottle, but for the benefit of
those who have never tried the pre-
scription, we have arranged with the
D.sD. d. Laboratories of Chicago
for a special large trial bottle at rs
cents on a special offer now. This
first bottle ought to convince every
sufferer, and, at any rate, 1t win
surely take away the itch at once.

WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away

Bedding women know how the aches
and pains that come when the kidneys
fail make life burden. Backache, hip
hip pains, headaches, dizzy spells, dis
tressing urinary troubles, all tell of sick
kidneys and warn you of the stealthy
approach OF diabetes, dropsy and
Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills
permanently cure all these disorders.
Here's proof of it in Bedding woman's
words.
Mrs. II. ID. Owen, S. Broas ST., Beld-
ing, Mich, says: "Doan's Kidney
Pills have helped me so greatly that
gladly recommend them. i suffered
from dull, nagging backache and this
was accompanied by pains through my
kidneys. 1t was all | could do TO at
tend To my housework and l was
caused no end of annoyance by diff
ficulty with the kidney secretions. The
contents of three boxes of Doan's Kid
ney Pills removed the backache and
strengthened my kidneys and before
long my health was much improved.
Other members of my family have used
Doan's Kidney Pills and in every in
stance, benefit has been received"

FELONIOUS ASSAULT
John Burgland, a Sailor. Is Accused
of Felonious Assault on Seven
Year-0ld Girl Yesterday

At $50 p. m, yesterday. John
Burgland, Il sailor on a vessel loading
at the Union mill, was arrested for
committing a criminal assault upon
the seven-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. A. d. Bush, who reside near
Electric park.
The little girl with other children
were playing beneath the trees that
border Fry creek, near the Ninemire
packing house, when she was entic-
ed into a shack by Burgand, who
was prevented from seriously injur-
ing the child by the father missing
her from the group of other chill
dren and calling to her to know of
her whereabouts. Hearing the faith
er call, Burgman made his escape.
Mr.. Bush upon learning what had
happened pursued him, Harry Cabot,
who runs an employment office on
Heron street, joining in the chase.
An automobile on its way to Aber-
deem picked Bush and Cabot up and
soon overlook Burgland, when the
police station was called up, and Of
ticer William Anstie placed him un-
der arrest. The case will come up be-
fore Justice Bush tomorrow.

Insurgency Rampant

The policy of trying to put the
and speech in the Republican party
had somewhat unexpected result on
March IS. The insurgents in the
house of representatives. at Washing
ton, in conjunction with the Demo-
Gratis, gained victory over the regu-
lars and forced Encouragement of
the committee on rules. 1t would be
a mistake to regard this result as
merely personal attack upon Speak
er Cannon. If MI. Cannon had not
been, upon the whole, an exception
ally able and fair Speaker he could
not have gained his position of great
authority at the hands of four sue
cessive congresses. But there has
been a growing disposition in the
republican party to insist upon Or
ganized authority as against the ira
ditiOnal freedom OF conscience, ac-
ton, and speech that has always be-
longed to republicans in its best peri
DDS Even Mr.. Taft, and he perhaps
more than any one else, has come I'M
der the delusion of this iGea of party
authority. He is constantly talking
of party pledges, by which he means
that forgotten chain Of resolutions
adopted in the convention at Chicago
nearly two years AGO. 1t is not con-
vincing to assert that any mans con-
science and intellect, as respect
pending public question, must be
held subject to party platform
which most people would not even
know where to find in print. What
the country wants is to have ques-
tiOns dealt with upon their merits
at the present moment, rather than
upon lines laid down in campaign
platforms. The only salvation for
the Republican party lies in tolerat-
ing insurgency, so called and pro-
claiming full freedom of opinion and
spe ech.-From THE Progress of the

Poverty Of Prosperity.

Periodically, we all turn political
economists. Sometimes we discuss
money; sometimes the tariff: Just
now we are discussing the cost of
living. 1t is not a new subject, nor
is it so simple as some seem to think
for whoever can master it has mas
tered the very heart of economic
theory and practice.
None the less, every man of us has
some theory to account for the dis
heartening fact that the more we
earn the poorer we grow.
But most of these theories run
back to a simple fact; the rise of
the standards of living. Americans
have been making money SO rapidly
that they have spent it even more
rapidly.
We have ceased to be thrifty. The
nearest approach most of us make
to that virtue is to get our banks
to let us overdraw our account.
The fathers have eaten grapes
and the children are eating grape
fruit. We used to buy apples by the
barrel; now we buy them as we
would jewels, each in it's separate
wrapper. We used to eat pot roasts,
now we must have porterhouse
steaks.
Our wives used to help the gener-
al Homework girl with the cooking;
now we need two maids, laundress
and man to wash windows. When
we were boys we did chores and wore
our fathers old clothes; nowadays
the American boy needs an allow
ance, stockings that match his neck
ties and a tuxedo jacket. We used
TO think it an extravaganza to keep
$3.50 horse and 500 buggy; now
we buy an automobile and mortgage
our house to pay for it.
Easy come, easy 60" was the old
motto; Easy come, gone before it
comes" is the modern.-World To-
day.
