Cause of Eczema Explained

After years of debate medical au-
thorities are now agreed that Eczema
and other skin diseases are not
seated in the blood, but are caused
by myriads of microscopic animals
gbawlng the flesh just below the
epidermis. The patient is perfectly
healthy, it is only the skin that is
diseased.
Hence, scientists are now agreed
that you must cure the skin through
the skin. The medicine must be in
liquid form in order to penetrate
properly. And we can say with con-
fidence that we have the true REM
edy for Eczema in our store.
The instant you wash with this
soothing liquid you will find the itch
relieved. We positively assure you
of this. Will you try bottle Cat

FAVORS PLAN
Of RAISING A
BOOSTING FUND
c. {. DossoN GIVES SOME EXCEL
LENT REASONS WHY MER-
CHANTS AND BUSINESS MEN
SHOULD RESPOND PROMPTLY
AND LITERALLY.
Pensacola, Fla, June 81, 1910.

Editor Pensacola Journal.
We are heartily in favor of your
plan to raise a municipal advertising
fund, and think it should meet more
prompt and generous response. We
are surprised at the absence OF GER
tain names from the subscription list
names of men who would never be
guilty Of the folly of neglecting to adj
vertise their own business. And yet
they seem not at all interested in ad-
vertising the city on whose growth
and prosperity their fortunes depend.
This Is not something We ought to
do. 1t is something we must do, and
now. 1t is an axiom of modern bust
ness that Intelligent publicity, backed
by 'the goods" brings success. We
have the goods"-why not tell about
them loud and long?
We want tourists to visit here, out
siders to invest here, enterprises to
locate here. They will never do so in
sufficient volume until we make the
name and fame of the town so insis-
tent that they must come. It's not
what we know we've got will start
them-it's what We tell them. There
is not a f1ourishing municipality in
this country that feels strong enough
to do without advertising-are we to
laugh in the face of experience and
turn over to sleep again? An indi-
yidual or a community that is self
satisfied is damned.
Let's stop hiding our light under a
bushel. We have wonderful advan-
tages, but the other fellow don't know
it. We must tell them-keep telling
them-until they come to see and go
back to spread the light. We know
what we've got, but outsiders don't,
and they won't unless we spend money
to tell them. While We are waiting,
the other towns are doing. There
are big stakes to be won on this gulf
coast, but procrastination and par
simony are not good cards to win with.
To hesitate is to lose.
Get this fund this year, and we'll
have more next year; more people to
get it from and more enterprises to
support the people and help our
trade balance.
We are firmly convinced that there
is no one thing that will do Pensacola
more good for the amount invested
than this fund. And we are equally
convinced that delay in this matter is
dangerous, and that no citizen who has
property or business interests here can
afford to refuse his subscription.
Very truly yours,

MAIL ORDER
BUYERS GET A
BITTER DOSE
FIRM FAILS AND OVER 700 PEO-
PIE WHO PAID CASH IN AD-
SMASH,

The Farm Implement News con-
tains the following which Is as apple
able to the people of the South who
patronize mail order houses as it is
to the ones mentioned:
A Bitter Dose For Mail Order Buyers.
There are six hundred farmers in
the northwest who have been given
bitter dose which ought to cure
them of the mail-order habit. 1t APP
pears from an examination of the
books of a catalogue house against
which bankruptcy proceedings recent
~ were instituted, that the concern
is indebted to about 700 business
firms and individuals. This large
number was astonishing to the inves-
tigators until they learned that most
of the individual creditors are farm
ers who have paid in advance for
goods which have not been delivered.
There was similar case In Michi-
gan some years ago and the courts
held that the claims of those who had
paid money in advance for goods
must take the same course as others
representing purchases of meTchan-
disc by, or money loaned to the cata-
logue house in the ordinary course Of
business. They could Mt be classed
as preferred claims. Presumably,
then, the six hundred farmers in the
northwest will receive no greater pro-
portion Of their claims than ordinary
creditors and from present appear
ances this will be considerably short
of 100 cents on the dollar.
Ar Object Lesson.
This case constitutes an object les
son which dealers should not fail to
place before the farmers of their re-
spective communities. The claims do
not represent money the farmers de-
posted with the house with the ex-
pectation Of ordering goods in the fu-
ture. The most credulous farmers
would hardly do that, although many
have taken stock in various co-opera-
tive schemes and mail-order enter
prises, the promoters of which have
glib tongues. The claims represent
money sent with orders for goods,
and apparently the house became
financially embarrassed before the Or
ders were filled.
This is likely to happen to any
concern. Hence the only safe way
to buy is to get the goods before
paying for them, or at least to get
them Immediately after payment has
been made. This cannot be done by
one who buys from mail-order con-
Germs, many of which do not carry
the great stocks they claim to carry,
but often buy the goods after they OBJ
tain the orders. If the catalogue
houses were really what they pretend
to be, failure to fill an order on the
day it is received would be a rare
exception to the rule. Prompt SER
vice is the exception, hence every pa
