FRUIT TRADE WITH GERMANY HAMMERED
 BY SPECULATION

washington, February t-Aiileiica'i fr,,it trade with Germany has been nam nered in recent years by the operatlons of speculative buyers in the oil'eo States. according to a report 10 the pu- reau of manufacturers from Consul Nen- eral skinner at Hamburg. The tfouoie conld he overcome, in the opinion Of the consul general. if the fruit producers vonld combine and set up standard grades and issue official certificates to accompany their shipments, so that nm norters at Hamburg could be certain or getting the goods they pay for.
 Instead of permitting fruit of American origin to be sold at auction at Hamburg for the account of commission firms, MT skinner further suggests that producers in this country perfect an organizatloh for the handling of their own product and provide cold storage at Hamburg III order to extend their business.
 Germany imports $22, ,0oo,ooo worth of fruit annually, and by means of the fa- clities at Hamburg re-eXports eonsld- erable quantity to other countries. Tax ing apples as an illustration. the importa- tions into Hamburg by America nave steadily declined from 14,9o6 tons in 1905 to 1925 tons in 1908, while the total inn portations from all countries had great ly increased One reason for the de- crease. it is said, is the fact that the grades of American fruit are not as they are represented to be.
 As a matter of general complaint, also it is said that speculative firms who take orders don't fill them if the market IS going up, and as a result the importers sustain heavy losses.

that bound them together in brotherly love, or worse-botherly misery. Never in my life have I seen so many de- Jected, woe begone unfortunate, infrm, unslghtly, maimed and battered styles. as that set of umbrellas presented, alone and unprotected, in this cold, cold world"
 And wasn't youds in the bunch?" l asked, hoping for an affirmative answer.
 You forget that my umbrella was a brand new one. and selected by my wife who has perfect taste" he said haughtily.
 Well, accidents will happen to um- brellas, in the best regulated families and if you leave them adrft on the world. they are bound to get into bad company" l suggested.
 T was furious with the bland and de- bonnair inn keeper, for suggesting that any of that motley crew belonged to me. and went from his establishment in a flaming, tearing rage" said the man, 'meditating that after all, it was the cross-eyed office boy who had mine and that I'd gone to all my trouble for noth- ing"
 T suppose you brought the poor little AN4icN iC NiC seat, ana ar raigned him with the crime" said
 Yes, l did, said the Economical Man, and my belief did not belle me, for I thought he winced visibly and looked sheepish and guilty, and I felt perfectly sure that my roll of bills and my um- brella had been purloined by him, and at that moment they were in ms pos session. But I waited until the week was out before l dismissed him."
 And in the meantime something hap pened,' I said delightfully."-.
 Yes, something did happen" sad he rather dubiously. When I went home that night I told my wife about the roll of bills and that my suspicious had fas- tened upon the cross-eyed office boy, and what do you suppose she said?"
 Cant imagine l said, knowing per- fectly well all the time what the denue- ment of the story was going to be-.
 She nearly killed herself laughing" said the man, and told me that when the maid was making the bed the other morning she found my pocketbook under the pillow, and just kept 1t to see if I'd miss it, otherwise she was going to spend the roll of bills on a new bonnet she had seen down town. And while I was talk ing to her about the pocketbooll the phone rang and my friend with whom had lunched the day before asked me if I'd missed my umbrella. When I told him that l had, he said he had taken it home by mistake, as We were leaving the restaurant and that he'd bring it to the office in the morning.
 And so the poor littie cross-eyed office boy lost his job, just on account of your dislike of him. and because you couldn't saddle your own carelessness on anybody else. v I mused
 'No he didn't said the Economical Man. Hes been in clover ever since I raised his salary. and made his duties much less, and he's been treated with the greatest amount of consideration from that day until now"
 "Td just like to say, T told you so, but I won't this time, because l believe it's been a good lesson tp you" I said knowingly.

THE CHARITY BALL.

In view of the interest which has been awakened in the local charity ball which will open the post Lenten season, the following in regard to the annual ball in New York will not come amiss:
 '"The charity ball. held on Tuesday night at the Waldorf-Astoria," says Town and Country" lis assured of pop ularity for many years. This Is fortunate not only for the Nursery and Childs hospital, but also for all the sweet, bright girls who have no part in the gayety of exclusive society. All things for charity should be inclusive. rather than exclu sive. Women prominent in the social world are always present, but a special feature of the ball ls the array of fresh, youthful beauty refined in type but culled from those classes considered comfort ably well-to-do." Each year the array of uniforms grow less in number. The Army and Navy are not so well represented as formerly. Tie grand march, however, was quite as impressive as hitherto. The floor committee, headed by Mir. George Hammond Sullivan, led the march, with the members of the new Charity Ball so- clety. Then followed MT. Sullvan's moth CT, Mrs. Algernon Sydney Sullivan. walk ing alone, and followed by the board of managers. Lieutenant-C Commander Ter hume and General Leonard Wood and his staff came next in order. Thls march is always inspiring; the ballroom is so large, the music is martial, and on all sides stand the young people impatient flor the first dance.

WHY SALVES FAIL
 TO CURE ECZEMA

Since the old-fashioned theory of cur ing eczema through the blood has been given up by scientists, many different salves have been tried for skin diseases. But 1t has been found that these salves only clog the pores and can not pene- trate to the inner skin below the epi- dcrmis, where the eczema germs are lodged
 This-the quality of penetrating probably explains the tremendous sue cess of the only standard liquid ecze- ma cure, oil of wintergreen, thymol, elycerine etc.. as compounded in D. D. D. Prescription.
 After ten years of cure after cure no skin sufferer should hesitate one in- stant to buy D. D. D. Prescription at s100 a bottle. But for the benefit of those who have never tried the pre- scription the D. D. D. Laboratories of Chicago have arranged for a special lar.;e trial bottle at 25 cents on a spe- cial offer now. This first 25-cent bot tic ought to convince every sufferer: perhaps it will effect a complete cure Gas it has in some cases); at any rate. 1t will surely take. away the itch at once. Ask your druggist for a bottle at 25c and get instant relief from that itch today. s
