nR. HARVEY w. WILEY, the pure food

aversion that some of his writings and
speeches might indicate. One day he had
just finished a sumptuous lunch at the Ma
tional Press Club, and the bulk of the meal
had consisted of picked pigs feet, of which
the doctor is very fond. Or rising from the
table, he expressed to the waiter his appre--
citation of the lunch in general and the pigs
feet in particular.
In the cloakroom he met friend who in
vited him to have lunch.
Il don't really recollect whether l have
had LUNCH" said the doctor obviously.
However, just to make sure of not missing
meal, I'll eat with you. You know, they
serve very fine pigs feet here
Then he went back with his friend and
had the second lunch, consisting mainly of
pigs feet.

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, penetrating
liquid is required, not an outward
salve that clogs the pores.
We recommend to all eczema
patients the standard prescription
Oil of Wintergreen as compounded
in liquid form known as ID. ID. ID.
Prescription. A trial bottle of this
d. ID. ID. Prescription. at only 25
cents, will instantly relieve the itch.
We have sold and recommended this
remedy for years, and know of won
derful cures from its use. We re-
commend 1t to our patrons. Brunt
& Parman. B3.

MENTS AGAINST PUBLISHERS
OF NEW YORK WORLD ON THE
GROUND OF LACK OF JURISDIc-
TION.
BY Associated Press.

New York, Jan. 26.-The govern
ment's prosecution of the publishers
of the New York World was stopped
by the federal court here today, Judge
Hough, in the United States circuit
court, quashing the indictment against
the Press Publishing Company, pub,
fishers of the World, for alleged libel
in connection with the publications
concerning the Panama canal pur-
chase Lack of jurisdiction was the
ground.
Among lawyers it is the opinion
that today's ruling marks the end OF
the prosecution.
"If further action is taken. said
United States District Attorney
Wise, ''it will be by the attorney-gen-
eral of the United States"
The indictments are based on a
story published in the World charg-
ing fraud in connection with the pur
chase of the French rights in connec
ton with the building of the Panama
canal.
