If 1T DISAPPEARS, IT'S ECZEMA
How to Tell Whether a Skin Affection
Is an Inherited Blood Disease
or Not

Sometimes it is hard to determine
whether a skin affection is a sign of a
blood disorder or. simply a form of
eczema. Even physicians are often
puzzled in their diagnosis. The best
way for any one afflicted is to go to
the Rosser Drug Co., 523' Kansas ave-
nue., or any good druggist who ham
dies pure drugs and obtain SO cents
worth of poslam. Apply this, and If
the itching stops at once and the,
trouble is cured In few days it may
be set down as having been eczema, as
this is the way poslam acts in the
worst cases of eczema, and in curing
acne, herpes, blotches. letter, piles,
salt rheum, rash. BARRIERS and other
forms Of itch. scaly scalp, and all sur
face skin affections.
Any one who will write to the Emer-
gency Laboratories, No. 80 West
Twenty-fifth street, New York, can Sc
cure. by mail free of charge, a supply
sufficient to cure a small eczema sur
face or clear a complexion overnight
and remove pimples in twenty-four
hours.

PENIS TELEGRAPHY SCHOOL.
Miniature Railroad Installed With
Block Signals.

Encouraged by the success attained
by the graduates of it's school of teleg-
raphy at Bedford, Pa, the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company has just com
pleted the installation Of additional ma
chimes for higher instruction. In addi-
ton, library of text books on cleo
tricity in all of its branches has been
opened for the benefit of the students
of telegraphy. When the Bedford
school was first opened extensions Of
the company's own telegraph wires
were run through the classroom, to give
the students an opportunity of handling
practical railroad messages. In addi-
ton. there was installed a miniature
railroad. equipped with block signals,
for explaining the block signal system.
The latest innovation to be placed in
the school is an automatic sending ma
chine with a transmitter that can be
set at any speed. This machine is used
to teach the students to receive mes
sages and, as it transmits at uniform
speed, 1t is proving of great advantage
Since the Bedford school was opened,
in September. 1907 pa students have
been enrolled. OF this number 1875 have
graduated and are now employed as
telegraphers. All graduates are offered
positions on the Pennsylvania railroad.

ROCK ISLAND COAST OUTLET.
Ell Paso Railroad Men Credit Report
of Pearson Becoming Interested.


FL Paso. Tex. Jan. 1S.-Railroad and
other business men in this section take
it as a certainty that the Rock Island is
to be given Pacific coast outlet
through Mexico, over the Ell PaSo-
Northwestern railroad, controlled by
DR.. f. S. Pearson of New York, asso-
ciated with English and Canadian cap
italists.
The report from New York that DR..
Pearson and associates have secured a
large block of Rock Island stock was
no surprise here, as it has been known
for over year that the Rock Islan'.
desired an outlet through Mexico. Rock
Island officials made OVertures to w. G.
Greene when he owned the Rio Grande
& Sierra Madre road, for the purchase
of the completed portion of the road
and the concessions held by Col. Greene
to the Mexican-Pacific coast
Dr. Pearson recently acquired this
road and the concessions from Col.
Greene and changing the name to the
Mexico Northwestern, he is pushing
construction work south from the Nor
mon colonies, the present terminus in
Mexico, 200 miles south of Ell Paso. AL
ready over so miles of track has been
graded The concession held by Pear
son is for the extension to the Mexican
Pacific coast. Inasmuch as the South
ern Pacific controls all the California
ports, the Mexican coast is about the
only Pacific outlet left to the Rock
Island In extending to the Mexican
coast the Rock Island will also mix it
with the Southern Pacific, which is also
on the Mexican coast with the road it is
row building from Guaymas to Guada-
lajara.

THE "HIGH BAIL" TO GO.
Famous Railroad Signal to Be Adam
doned on Santa Fe.


'In the FUTURE says the Wellington
News, ''as soon as the Santa Fe exam
lining committees, now employed in in
stilling new rules and signals into the
operating department men all over the
system, have finished their work, the
old high BALI familiar all over Amer
lea as the go ahead or get out of
town sign, will pass into oblivion. It
will be followed by every other rail-
road signal on the Santa Fe save the
one calling on the engineer to back the
train. The examining board here is
fast finishing its work and will take
to the road soon to inStill into station
men and operators and every one who
has a hand in the operation of trains
except the girls who go to the depots
to-see the travelling men, the new sign
code. 1t is extensive and will have the
effect of keeping the railroad men
awake. While some of the new sig
nails are not as definite as the old ones
they are to replace, yet they must go.
The Santa Fe must do something that
is different from any other road. The
signal to take the place OF the high
BALI has the appearance of a hungry
grammar school boy, who is SO hun
CRY he can't talk, signing to his moth
er for a doughnut. The stop signal
might be taken for the first feeble eff
fort of a youthful law graduate at ges-
ticulation''

PROVO. Dec. 6.-At a meeting of the
knight Woolen Mills company held here
today II was decided TO close down the
plant OH Saturday. Jesse Knight, who
bought the plant last June, would make
no statement regarding the decision OF
the board OF directors other than 10 say
that lie hoped the mills would be in op-
Grafton again within a month. John C.
Cutler and C. w. Nibley OF Salt Lake
and Il. p. Ellison OF Lay ton were present
al the meeting.
just why this action is taken is not
made public. but it Is the general belief
that there existed q certain degree of
disSe tlsfaction between the management
and the board or directors. James Dow.
the manager who was brought TO Utah
from the east TO take charge of the mills,
resigned today,
The Knight mills were formerly known
as the Provo WOODEN mills. The plant
