ECZEMA TWENTY YEARS
CURED BY AN OIL,

No matter If o have suffered for
twenty days or twenty years, we, as
druggists, know that your itch can be
cured In one day. and hat sooner or
later-perhaps very soon-your skin
will be as clear and pure as ever.
Wash your skin with a simple COM
pound, the mild, soothing oil of win
tergreen. thymol, glycerine compound
known as D. D. d. Prescription.
The first day, the first night of rest
full sleep will prove to you Thai we
make no foolish exaggerated claims.
Eczema sufferers must recognize that
we certainly would not make such
claims if within a few minutes after
trying the. remedy you could prove us
wrong; we KNOW the itch is allayed
at once. r
While we have always sold d. D. d.
Prescription at 81 a bottle, we do feel
that everybody ought to be convinced
at once. So we have arranged with
the d. D. D.. Laboratories, of Chicago,
for a special offer-for the present-a
trial size bottle at only rs cents (for
those who have never tried the rem
edy).

WILL SCATTER HUSBANDS
ASHES OVER THE SEA

NEW YORK, May 31.-In accordance
with the last wishes of Druggist Oscar
Neidhart, 1856 Utica venue, Brooklyn,
his body was this afternoon taken to
the crematory at Fresh Pond, where
1t will be reduced to a quantity of
ashes that can be placed in a can
holding less than a gallon.
There will be no services of any kind,
but plenty of sentiment is found in the
fact that the druggist made his wife
promise him just before he died that
she would carry his ashes to the top
of the Statue Of Liberty on Bedloe's
Island, in New York bay, and there
toss them as far out as possible into
the air.
when I die I want to be free-as
free as the wind-so take my h and
throw them to the four breezes," he
said to his wife. and then followed the
promise to make the Statue of Liberty
the scene of the distribution.

SHOOTS COMPANION FOR
REFUSING TO DANCE.
New Tragedy Occurs on Old
Murder Site.

WATERBURY, Conn, May 31.-Be-
cause Joseph Dennison, of auNgatuck,
would not dance a clog when re-
quested. Simon Stokes, an ~1S-year-old
boy with a passion for dancing, shot
him in the groin. Dennison is in the
hospital, seriously injured. Stokes is
still at large.
The shooting happened on the scene
of the killing of Bron Kulvinskas,
whose sweetheart, Sophie Kritchman,
is now doing time at Wethersfleld for
the crime.
The murder glade is a popular spot
for strollers with morbid minds, and
Stokes and Dennison had gone there
with several friends. Stokes suddenly
whipped a revolver from his pocket
and, aiming it at Dennison's feet, made
his demands for a clog on the spot
when Bron had bled to DEATH

removed in a short time.
Congressman Parker spoke on the
history of the department, and cited
figures to show it's wonderful progress.
Mr.. Rogers spoke of the needs of the
department, in the way of amendment
to the law, so that the men would not

WORDS Of PRAISE
Annual Conventions of Clerks
and Carriers Close With
Big Banquet.

More than 1900 letter-carriers and
postof1ce clerks attended the banquet
in the Kruger Auditorium last night
that was held under the joint auspices
of New Jersey State Letter Carriers
and Postoffice Clerks.
After the dinner had been disposed OF
addresses were made by Mayor Jacob
Haussling, Postmaster James L. Hays,
Congressman Herman P. Goebel and
r. Wayne Parker. James T. Cortelyou,

w. Liang, of Bayonne, and Moses Gan
sler.
When former Governor Murphy took
the platform one of his enthusiastic ad-
mirers forgot the strictly non-political
personnel Of the association and called
for three cheers for Franklin Murphy

New Jersey" They were given with a
will, even the Elizabeth delegation,
which occupied the front of the hall
apparently forgetting for the time be-
ing at least that a distinguished citi-
zen of their home city. Senator John
Kean, is anxious to represent the State
in that capacity at least six years
more. Mr.. Murphy was surprised, but
made no reference to the compliment
rendered. The former Governor had
at the request of the local organization
visited Washington for the purpose OF
urging Postmaster General Hitchcock
to address the carriers.
During the dinner the local postofict
band played patriotic airs in an ex-
cellent manner.

FORMER GOVERNOR.
GAMBLER VERY ILL
Physicians Hold Out No Hope
For Eminent Georgian
PLANS OF HOKE SMITH
Announcement Has Been. Expected
From Former Governor ms to His
Political Plans, But Nothing
Has Yet Developed

Atlanta, May 1.-(Special. although
he may survive for two or three months,
former Gov. Allen D. Gambler, is liable
to die at almost any moment. He has
for some time been confined to his bed as
a result of that treacherous malady,
Bright's disease, and his physicians hold
out no hope for him, stating it will be
practically out of the question for him
to leave his room again. Az
Governor Gambler is now 76 years old,
and has for some time been in quite
feeble health, although up to a few
weeks ago he was able to attend to his
duties at the state capitol as compiler of
Georgia S revolutionary and Confederate
records.
Governor Gambler had almost completed
this work of compilation when the en-
croachments of his malady compelled
him to desist from active work-another
year would have seen it completed, it is
said
Practically since his retirement from
the executive office in 1902, Governor
Gambler has been engaged in this work
og gathering together and publishing in
JUN lOllH Dl6lOllCdl IStOluS
The publication of the colonial and revo-
lutionary records has been completed, at
least the final copy is in the state prin-
ter's hands. But there still remains
some work on the Confederate records.
Governor Gambler served the state in
the executive office for two terms-four
years-from 1895 to 1905 having been re-
elected without opposition. He first came
into political prominence in the middle
sos, whe he defeated Judge Emory Speer
for congress in the Ninth district, in one
of the most memorable campaigns ever
held in that section of the state. He has
also served in the legislature and as
secretary of state. His home was for
many years in Gainesville, but when he
took up his work as compiler of the
Georgia records, he moved his family to
Atlanta, as 1t was practically out of the
question at his advanced age for him to
be going frequently back and forth be-
tween Gainesville and Atlanta.
He has many friends over the state
who will hope for his recovery but from
the dscouraging statements which come
from his bedside, it is feared the hope
is all in vain.

says in connection with both movements,
he is a good Georgia democrat"
Mr.. Walker made the suggestion first
some time ago. and it was taken up by
the newspapers all over the country.
Some interest was aroused for the time
and then the matter was forgotten until
now Mr.. Walker again comes forward
and urges that the subscription move
ment on a national basis be started right
here in Atlanta.
1t may be that Atlanta will take 1t
up. though the movement has not crys-
talized as yet 1t is one of the kind of
things Atlanta likes to do; 1t only re-
mains for some business men to get to-
gether and start 1t.
