A Counter Attraction.

It was at ball game between Chi
cago and Pittsburg. The score was
tied. two men were out, runner was
ON third, and Hams Wagner was at
bat! The crowd was too excited to
be noisy.
A sporting editor had taken his
neighbor to the game. The neighbor
was not fan, but he had succumbed
to the delights of travelling on a
pass" and was having real. garru-
lous good time.
At the moment when there wasn't a
heart beating on the bleachers, and
the grandstanders were nauseated
with suspense, the sporting editors
neighbor emitted this:

Hortense announced to her mother
when she arrived home, 'I'm going to
make a cake all by myself. It's the
kind that can't possibly fail and it
tastes just as good no matter how you

Donning large apron, she proceed

With careful precision, after much
weighing and measuring, Hortense
finally poured the rich, dark batter
into the pan. She wasn't quite sure
as to the heat of the oven, but she
hovered around anxiously with flushed
cheeks for the prescribed half-hour.
1t was with thrill of triumph that
she finally lifted out the delicious
smelling golden-brown cake and depos-
tied 1t on the table. Later she tele-
phoned young Mrs. Drake that the
cake was glorious success.
When Tom arrived at Hortenses
house that evening the engaged couple

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 liq-
uid is required, not an outward salve
that clogs the pores.
We recommend to al eczema pa
tients the standard prescription Oil
of Wintergreen as compounded in
liquid form known as d. ID. d. Pres
scription. A trial bottle of this d. D..
D. Prescription, at only 25 cents, will
instantly relieve the itch. We have
sold and recommended this remedy
for years, and we know of wonderful
cures from its use. We recommend
it to our patrons.
