WHY sALVES FAIL TO CURE
ECZEMA.

Scientists are now agreed that the
eczema germs are lodged not in the
outer skin or epidermis, but in the
inner skin. Hence, a penetrating
liquid is required, not an outward
salve that clogs the pores.
We recommend to all eczema pa
tients the standard prescription Oil
of Wintergreen as compounded in
liquid form known as D. D. D. Pre-
scription. A trial bottle of this D.
D. D. Prescription. at only % cents,
will instantly relieve the itch. We
have sold and recommended this
remedy for years, and know of WON
derfm cures from it's use. We rec
ommend it to our patrons. The Har-
per house pharmacy.

.AOUEDUCT RIGHT OF WAY
BILL PASSES IN SENATE
Appropriation of $4,000 Made
by Council to Continue Work
on the Power Plant

Advices were received from Wash
ington yesterday that the senate had
passed the bill giving Los Angeles
rights of way across certain public
lands for the aqueduct. The bill will
go to the house soon.
The bill was passed by the senate
in 1906 withdrawing from public en-
try the lands wanted for the equeduct
project. At that time Los Angeles was
given three years in which to define
right of way and as this had been
done, the senate took action yester-
day.
The board of public works, at a meet
ing of the city council yesterday after
noon, recommended that $25, 900 be ap-
propriated to continue the preliminary
work on power plants planned to be
established along the line of the Owens
river aqueduct. The recommendation
was referred to the finance committee
to be taken up in connection with the
budget.
1t was stated that it was most i'm
portant to the city to make a special
engineering study of the subject, to
take up preliminary work on the power
plants, such as the necessary investi-
cations on the ground, the preparation
of plans, and the examination and Sc
lection of the most desirable types of
machinery and equipment.
In 1909 the council appropriated $10,-
900 for the purpose of inaugurating and
carrying on the work for the fiscal
year about to close, and the boards s
communication continues: 1--WE are of
the opinion that it is of the utmost
Importance that the work begun last
year under e. F. Scattergood, chief
electrical engineer be continued with
ont interruption"

NACO, Ariz., June 16.-The entire
mining town of Movarabi, in Sonora,
including a ten-stamp mill, has been
destroyed by the forest fire that is
sweeping the Oil and Bacoachi noun

miles. The entire ranch property OF
John Hohstad, a pioneer American
ranchman, has been swept away. Along
the Yauui river near the railroad many
panthers, bears and other wild ami

ests and lives of a number of people

beasts.
The property recently sold by the

cate has a fire line of fifteen miles and
1875 men are fighting the flames.
