Home Cures for Eczema.

Does it not seem strange that
SO many people suffer year in and
year out with eczema?
A 25-cent bottle of a simple wash
stops the itch and will surely con-
vince any patient.
This wash is composed of mild
and soothing oil of wintergreen
mixed with thymol and glycerine,
etc, and known as D. d. D. Pre-
scription. We do not know how
long the D. D. D. Laboratories will
continue the Csc offer, as the
remedy is regularly sold only in
$1.O0 bottles and has never before
been put on the market on any
special offers.
IF you want relief tonight try a
bottle at Csc on your personal
recommendation. Barker Drug store.

EXPECTED TO SPLIT
ON HOME RULE ISSUE
Believed Rule Of Liberals will
Be Very Brief.

London, Jan. Conclusive evi.
dence that Premier AsQuith will again
accept the post Of leader of the gov.
eminent party was given in the semi.
official announcement that Asquith
was arranging cabinet meeting this
week. Inasmuch as the only possible
purpose of cabinet meeting would be
to outline plans for the coming session
OF the new parliament there is no
longer any doubt that Asquith will at
least accept the reins of government
at the outset.
Leaders among the Liberals and
I.aborites were in communication with
John Redmond, recognized leader OF
the Irish Nationalists, to learn what
support could be depended on from his
party. From the highest political
sources it is learned that Redmond
told the Liberals he could answer for
all of the prospective eighty-three Ma
tionalist members, which means that
he himself will be the real balance
of power"
Redmond, it is said, declared his
willingness to pass the budget, objec.
tionable as some of it's provisions are
and to aid in the abolition of the house
Of lords veto power. His subse-
quent attitude will depend on whether
the Liberals and Laborites give the
home rule bill their support.
The new parliament is not expected
to survive the home rule fight. The
Conservatives are solidly against the
vocably opposed. It is predicted that
the split will come by the middle OF
the summer, when a new election will

Meat STRIKE IS

Decline in Prices Of Many
Kinds Of Foodstuffs.
BUTTER And MILK DROP

Former Goes Off Five Cents a Pound

Necessities Of Life Also Decline
Rapidly on the Chicago Market.
New York, Jan. q Milk, eggs and
butter led the procession of receding
prices in food products here. Nation
wide agitation, aided by potential To-
cal influences, have brought about the
drop. Meat, too, is on the decline
following a greatly reduced consump-
ton. g.,
State anti-monopoly laws are to be
invoked in the movement to combat
the trusts that have advanced food
prices. A special grand jury, whose
particular Office it will be to consider
the effect of combinations among
dealers in foodstuffs, was sworn in.
While it is expected first to deal with
the alleged milk combine the meat
question is likely to be put to it
strongly and possibly the whole scope
of the food situation will be taken In
during it's probing.
Milk is down cent a quart already
on at least two big dealers routes;
butter in the best qualities has been

FIGHT THE MAIL ORDER HOUSE WITH
PRINTERS INK,

Just at this time the mail order
houses are live in flooding country
with big handsomely gotten up
spring catalogues, quoting attractive
prices on staple articles and making
all sort of big sounding claims for
your cash. They do not offer to ex-
change their goods for the farmers
eggs, poultry, butter or other pro-
duce. They don't trust a penny's
worth, but make you pay cash be.
fore you get the goods and the
freight besides. If anything is
wrong with the goods or they do
not suit, they will not exchange
then for you. They pay no taxes
into your city or county treasury,
with which our schools are main
tanned, roads, bridges and sidewalks
built. They do not contribute to
churches, charitable institutions,
nor to our poor.-Erskine Echo.
One of the principles of success
which is recognized by the catalog
houses is the free and liberal use of
printers ink. Publicity is the one
element which brings the catalog
house before the public; and through
every known device the mail order
house gets news of it's wares before
the reading public. Catalogues Eek
pensive ones } are issued by the mail
order people, and they make free
use of the columns of the newspapers
such papers as will print their
advertisements. And there is little
wonder that, in some localities, the
'bargains" of the mail order house
are more widely known than is the
name of the local merchant or the
class of business in which he is en-
gagged.
Local merchants rail at the mail
order house, and very often neglect
the use of the very weapon that will
put the catalog house out of business
and that is free use of printers
ink, advertisements in live local
papers, telling the readers what the
local merchant has and what it can
be bought for. Many times the local
dealer actually sells cheaper, and
gives better grade of goods, than
the catalog house, but people do not
know that, as t he merchant is
stingy" with his local paper.
Use printers ink, Mr.. Merchant
and the mail order house will be

PRESIDENT TAFT
DENIES REPORTS
Issues Statement Regarding
Antitrust Suits.
REFERS TO HIS. MESSAGE

Declares the Position Of the Admins.
tration Was Clearly Outlined in Com.
munication to Congress and Asserts
That Sensational Reports Of Indis.
criminate Prosecutions Are Utterly
Without Foundation.
f. Washington, JAN 26.-President Taft
has made public the following state
ment as to the reports that the admin.
istration is planning crusade against
unlawful combinations of capital:
"No statement was issued either
from attorney generals Office or the
White House indicating that the pur.
pose of the administration with refer
ence to prosecutions under the anti.
trust law is other than as set forth in
the message of the president on Jan.
z, 1910. Sensational statements as If
there were to be new departure and
an indiscriminate prosecution of the
important industries have no founda-
ton. .-a ~.-.- E. y. -.
"The purpose of the administration
is exactly as already stated in the
presidents message" -,
The statement was issued after the
president had talked with James J.
Hill, the railway magnate, and had re.
ceived information that prices were
crumbling in New York under the vari-
Gus reports printed. There was no
further statement from the White
House except the foregoing. 81
Hill Expresses His Views.
Mr.. Hill, on leaving the White
House, said he did not pretend to rep.
resent or speak for the president in
anything, but was sure that the presi.
dent would not attack corporations of
themselves, but the sins of the corpo.
rations. If corporations were violat.
ing the laws of the country, Mr. Hill
said, he supposed they would be
brought to book. .....- e..
James J. Hills visit to the White
House, which preceded the issuance of
the statement, it was said later, was
merely a coincidence. Mr.. Hill de-
Clared that he had discussed general
conditions" with the president and
had not gone into the subject of the
prosecution of the trusts.
Mr. Hill did not wish to discuss the
presidents recommendations as to
railroad legislation, saying it was toe
important to take up "offhand."
"But we do need the rest cure bad
ly," he said, adding that the country
should be allowed full time to recover
from the panic of 1907. He thought
that three or four months of rest from
agitation would do lot of good

SINCE THE CHICAGO FAIR
Prices Of Leading Commodities Have
Doubled Or TrebIed.

Chicago, Jan. Z Roger w. Bah
son of Boston, in an address before
the Chicago Advertisers association,
declared that prices in 100 leading
commodities have doubled OR trebled
since the time of the Chicago worlds
fair. He gave these six reasons as
the causes:
Trusts; tariff; overproduction of
gold; verspending-waste from buy
ing more than is needed; wholesale
desertion of the farms for the city;
great increase in money spent for lux
uries.
The two prime causes, Mr.. Babson
declared, are overspending and too
great a taste for luxuries.
