LIQUID CURES ECZEMA
WHERE SALVES FAIL.

In regard to skin diseases, med
ical authorities are now agreed on
this:
Don't imprison the disease germs
in your skin by the use of greasy
salves, and thus encourage them to
multiply. A true cure of all eczema
tous diseases can be brought about
only by using the healing agents IN
the form of a liquid.
WASH THE GERMS OUT.
A simple wash: A compound Of
Oil Of Wintergreen, Thymol, and
other ingredients an combined In the
D. d. D, Prescription. This pene-
trates to the disease germs and de-
stroys them, then soothes and heals
the skin as nothing else has ever
done.
A 25 cent trial bottle will start
the cure and give you instant re-
lief.

"rHE GIRL OF MY DREAMS"

Joseph NJ. Gates certainly has a
winner in THE Girl of My Dreams"
His new show returns to the Grand
next Thursday evening, and will be at
the Barrymore the following evening.
It's full of dash and swing, not to men,
ton no end of tuneful songs. To hear
Leila Mcintyre sing CDR. Tinkle Tin
kerr is worth the price of admission
alone. Miss Mcintyre, for some years
recognized as one of the cleverest en-
tertainers in vaudeville, has gone a
few steps higher in this piece. She
has developed into an actress Of no
little ability. In doing so she hasn't
lost any of her dancing art, but, on
the contrary, steps off various num-
bers even more nimbly than before.
With a corking show and good the
atre location, Manager Gates needn't
do much other than sit down and fig
ure on how he is going to spend the
money.

are not necessary. Mrs. Casey sings

The six local coast artillery compa-

In the rear of the batteries of 8, 10 and
IL inch guns at the northwestern end
OF the Presidio- reservation. Yesterday
they faced a 20 mile breeze from the

fore drill all hands and the cooks were
out with extra ropes and pegs to pre-
vent the shelters being blown away.

one or the officers to Major Mathewson
You must not mind that said the
major. Remember that you are SOL
der, and must face the wind as well
as other hardships."

officer, but I'm not sailor, and it

Instead of charging the merchant

coming fiscal year to collecting only
twice the factory rate at its wharf
MAINS
Ihis action was taken by the super
vlsors yesterday, who materially re-
duced the shipping rates in adopting
the prevailing general schedule
The intention of the board had been
TO re-enact the old bill in its entirety.
The majority report of the joint water
and public utility committees Murdock
dissenting, though nothing less could be
done in fairness to the company, whose
revenues will now be shaved about
$4,000. But when Superintendent I. N
Hibbard of the Pacific Coast steamship
company said that the ship owners
would boycott the Spring Valley in that
event, q different aspect was placed on
matters. So the board declared that In
stead of $3.50 the thousand gallons the
company will be entitled to only 80
cents after July 1.
If the rate to ships is not lowered .
Hibbard declared before the board as
the representative of every maritime
company on the water front, I'VE are
going into the water business for our
selves"
I'VE do not object TO paying twice
the rates enjoyed by shore users, but
we do object to paying nine times this
rate. The result is that we have built

Hibbard said the American Hawaiian
company had just gone to Oakland
mainly because of this water extortion.
and that this company recently paid
Spring Valley $3.50 for water for one
ship when the same supply would have
cost in Seattle only $40.
The majority report of the joint COM
mittee regretted the necessity of hav-
ing to re-enact the old rates in all
particulars. 1t pointed out that there
was no way to meet the loss that would
result to the company from low ship
ping rate. The budget had been already
passed. it said, so that the hydrant
rates to be paid by the city could not
be doubled. To raise the rates at. the
expense of all the taxpayers TO bene-
fit the shippers. the majority thought.
would be unfair.
In his minority report, Murdock rec
commended a reduction of shipping rates
TO twice the general rate, and gen.
/ feral 10 per cent increase TO make up
the company's deficit.
The minority and majority reports
were compromised and the discussion
ended by Murdock, who proposed TO
amend the general bill by adopting his
clause as to shipping rates. The vote
was favorable, except as to Acting May
or Kelly and Chairman Nelson of the
joint committee. On the final passage
to print Murdock added his negative
vote to those of the other two.
