HOME CURE 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 convince
any patient.
The wash is composed of mild and
Soothing oil of wintergreen mixed with
thymol and glycertne, etc, and known
as D. D. D. Prescription. We do not
know how long the D. D. D. Labora-
tories will continue the Csc offer, as
the remedy is regularly sold only IN
800 bottles and has never before
been put on the market on any special
offers.

Washington. D. C., Jan. 1S.-An old
age pension system that will do away
with all almshouses in the country at
one stroke is being worked out by
Representative Frederick Lundin Of
Chicago with the idea of submitting
it to congress for adoption. Although
there practically is no sentiment in the
national legislature at present favoring
the proposition, Mr.. Lundin has started
a nation wide campaign to win con-
verts to the plan.
The congressman has begun the dis
tribution of 1000, 900 circular letters
outlining his proposed bill, which he
is sending particularly to constituents
of members of congress who openly
are opposed to old age pensions in

cannot line up enough republicans"
to guarantee the passage Of the bill
providing federal charters for corpora
tions. The progressives take the
ground that they will never support
the federal corporations act which
does not provide for the forfeiture Of
the charter of corporation which has
violated the law and conducted its
business in such a way as to stifle
competition, control prices or produc-
ton, or has by any devise set aside
the workings of the law of supply and
demand and thus increased the cost
to the consumer.
But few restrictions upon corpora
lions are in the bill. The charters
provided by it are to run for so years
and to be approved by the commits
sioner of corporations.
Combines Male Lawful.
Under the bill combinations are
legalized, not prohibited. A corpora
ton is authorized to sell or transfer
its property to be paid wrolly or in
part in cash or in the capital stock
vi canOlnCI COL pOId dulAOl iECO ~
issue stock in order to purchase the
stock of another corporation with the
proviso that there will be a valuation
of the property purchased and the
stock issued shall not exceed its fair
valuation. 1t is apparent that the bill
presents a real danger in that it may
undermine the existing antitrust law.
By its terms it authorized combi1ia-
tions which are prohibited in the anti
trust law. It is hard to concede how
the government, on the one hand can
authorize corporations to do certain
things and on the other punish them
for doing those very things.
Must Support BaIIinser.
The presidents conservation pro-
gram. dictated by Ballinger, must also
be supported by republicans" In
fact. any orders issued by the presi-
dent, whose advisers and counselors
are Messrs. Aldrich and Cannon, must
be carried out. Any republican who
refuses to obey the command of Mr..
Taft is not a republican.
One point made by the progressives
which seems to be especially worthy
of consideration is that while the
president demands that they support
legislation recommended by him, the
president never asks their judgment
or opinion while preparing his leg;s-
lative program.
''If we were called to the White
house like other republicans, and our
views taken into consideration with
the rest, we would feel that we were
at least receiving decent recognition"
said a progressive. But the president
completely ignores us, limiting his in
terviews to men who stand high in the
estimation of Aldrich and Cannon"

Did you ever think of the difference
between washing and cleaning1
You can wash with any kind of soap
In any kind of water, hot or cold.
You can boil clothes and rub them on
washboard until your back aches.
All that is washing.
But it isn't always cleaning.
Most soaps are just washing soaps.
They furnish a little lather and let you
do the work.
Fels-Naptha is cleaning soap.
1t works all by itself in cool or luke
warm water, saving all the trouble and dis
comfort of boiling and hot suds
Fels-Naptha Soap cleans your clothes.
1t really reaches the dirt and dissolves
it.
1t does this while the soaped clothes
are soaking in cool or lukewarm water.
while you are thinking of something else
or resting.
When Fels-Naptha Soap gets through
with them-thirty minutes or so is long
enough-you rub lightly, rinse the clothes
and they're cleaner, sweeter and whittier
than you could get them by washing all
day in the old-fashioned manner.
You'll find directions for using
Fels-Naptha printed on the back of the
red and green wrapper.
