CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New discovery Has Revolutionized

New discovery Has Revolutionized
the Treatment Of Skin Diseases.
Nothing in the history Of medicine haa
ever anproached the success of the mar
velons skin remedy known as poslam.
which # is safe to say, has cured more
cases Of eczema and skin diseases than
snv remedy ever offered for these ills.
The success Of poslam h not at all
snrnrising when It is considered that
even a very small quantity applied to
ths skin stops itching Immediately and
cures chornic cages in two weeks. The
verv worst cases Of eczema, as well as
acne. herpes, letter, piles. salt rheum.
rssh' crussed humors. scaly scalp and
everv form Of itch. yield to 1t readily.
Blennishes such as pimples, red noses.
muddy and irhaned skin disappear al
most immediately when poslam ie ap-
piled, the complexion being cleared
over night.
EVERY druggist keeps both the 50-cent
size (for minor troubles) and the 81 jar.
and either of these may be obtained in
Topeka at the Rosser Drug Co. and
Fred A. Shows. as well, as other reli-
able drug stores.
BUT 10 one is even asked to purchase
poslam without first obtaining an ex-
perimental package which will be sent

DIGS TRAIN OUT OF THE SNOW.
Illinois Farmer With Shovel Makes

One day last week the passengers on
the Champaign branch of the Illinois
Central left Decatur on schedule.
Hours later there came a voice of woe
from the depths of the drifts north of
Green's switch. A cry of come over

The only relief in sight was such as
might be devised by James Schaff

An appeal to a neighboring farmer
not only inspired the farmer to lend as
s1stance, but he threw in a few scoop
shoVels that properly handled soon cut
a path through the snow. and the little
yard engine wiggled north to the pas
senger train, where some further use
of the scoop shovels released that train,
which proceeded on its way.

Another Stretch Of Double
Track for Santa Fe.

tracked, and before the end of Janu-
airy work will have been started on

miles.
]. r. Hitchcock, superintendent OF
the Santa Fe, last night confirmed the
report that work was about to be
started on the double tracking OF the
mountain division and stated that
within three or possibly four weeks
the dirt would be flying on the con-
struction of the second track De-
tween Barstow and Cottonwood.
The building of the double track
from Barstow to COTTONWOOD Is the
starting of the construction of the sec
ond track. paralleling the first, the
entire distance over Cajon pass and TO
the desert terminus of the Los An

The First Step.
The time that the construction of
the double track the entire distance
over the mountain division will be
completed is q matter of speculation.
The railroad officials themselves do
no know. but from the present out
before the first stretch of ten miles
is completed and work started on the

For months there have been rumors
regarding the possibility of double
track, and this is but the first step in
the construction of a second roadbed
the entire length of the system.
To Meet the Traffic.
The building of the double track be-
tween this city and BarstoW is the
result of the enormous volume of
business between southern California
and the east. On January two ad-
ditional passenger trains will be placed
on the line over the mountain district,
the most congested of the division,
and there will then be operated a
total of fourteen overland trains daily
on that stretch of track. During the

after assisting the long freight trains
or running to Victorville to bring
