PROVEN ECZEMA CURE

For several years we have announced.
with our recommendation, that We had
found a positive cure for eczema; q
simple skin wash, oil OF vinterSreen
compounded with other healing ingre-
dents
Yet we know there are people right
IN this town who have eczema, and still
have never tried this remedy.
We have, therefore, arranged with
the D. D D. Laboratories of Chicago
for special offer OF a trial bottle at o
cents instead Of the $1.OO bottle as reg
ularly sold. Be sure of the correct
name: d. L. d. Prescription.
We offer this trial bottle with our
recommendation and assurance that
just as soon as the patient washes his
itching skin. this mild liquid will take
tho itch away instantly.

INCREASE IN SUICIDES.
Poison and Firearms TnvorItc Choice
&C 1880 In 1909.

New York. Aug. 12.-During the year
1909, 1850 persons committed suicide
in the United states, according to fig
ures presented in an article appearing
in tho current issue OF The Spectator.
and an analysis shows that more than
one half of these tool; their lives either
by the use of poison or firearms.
This number. compared with pre-
vious figures available from reports
submitted by the bureau Of vital sta
tistics, shows an increase in self-do-
struction of 81 persons in every l0o.-
900 of population.
According to figures gathered in CO
Of the largest cities In this country.
3,732 persons took their lives. During
the 10 years ending with 1905 there
were a total OF 29,4i6 suicides in these
same cities, an average of 1S.5 per-
sons in every 100000 of population
Compared to these figures for 10 wears.
the increase during last year is nlacod
at 21 for each 10000 population.
A table OF comparative figures sta nd
ing from the year 1890 to last year
shows that there has been steady
increase in the number Of suicides IN
the country. In 1890, according to
this table. the suicide rate was 1913
Ry 1900 It had increased 1913, and ~
the end Of 1909 has reached 2o.6.
In comparing the rates as between
city and rural districts. It Is pointed
out that the urban rate IS materially
increased by persons who took their
lives after coming to the cities from
the country.

ODD DISEASE PIGEONS
HAVE, FATAL TO CHILD

Belvidere. n. j.. Aug. H.-r.dna Adams,
II months old daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
ELLIS Adams, died several days ago Of
a strange disease and It was first
diagnosed as infantile paralysis but the
speed 'Vith which 1t developed caused
the physicians to reconsider their decision.
Within q hours after the malady first
manifested itself. tho child was dead.
Adams was impressed nrst by the re-
semblarce OF the symptoms to n disease
which was destroying his flock OF pigeons
and Ne spoke OF 1t to the physicians He
told them he had lost pigeon after pigeon
with a malay which was inexplicable to
him. The pigeons would NOPE and
tremble on their perches for about p
hours, then tumble off dead. The physi-
clans. who are investigating, believe that
the disease could have been communicated
readily to the child by the pigeons.
