eczema Not Blood Disease-New
Remedy For Every Skin Trouble,

For years the medical profession has
oeeii seeking cure for Eczema, the
most common and most stubborn of
SKIN diseases. Some said it was a
oiood disease; some said it was the
result of indigestion. 1t remained for
one studious chemist to settle beyond
any question that eczema in all it's
forms is skin disease and related
In no way to a disordered condition of
the blood. This same chemist expert
mented with many antiseptic, healing
and soothing agents, but it was not
until he formed the compound Cadum
that he at last realized he had given
to the world something that would
bring relief or cure to millions of suf-
terers. Cadum ranks today with the
great discoveries of the medical world
Its action is so positive that the itch
ing of eczema is stopped Immediately
People who have itched and scratched
for years find sleep and rest as soon
as Cadum is used, and in ordinary
cases complete restoration of the
skin to a healthy condition is reached
in two or three weeks. The soothing,
healing effects Of Cadum are almost in
Simultaneous. Cadum is sold at all
druggists. Trial box Toe: large box

trial purposes, and may be used not

Senator OVerman.

Senator Lee S. Overman, or North
Carolina. is fast developing as a
greet leader in the United STATES
Senate. The Washington Times OF
recent date says Of Senator
Overman:
"A new Democratic leader is &c
veloping in the Senate. This is Sen
ator Overman, of North Caroline. he
has figured more prominently curing
the last two months than any Demo
crat on the floor. That is to say, ne
has obtained more results.
cit was he who a few weeks ago
initiated the flibuster against the
Lodge resolution asking for SCI. 900
with which to persue the cost Of liv-
ing inquiry. He convinced his Demo
cratic associates that the movement
of the Massachusetts man was des-
tined to provide the Republican par
ty with campaign material. Before
flbuster had proceeded ten days,
Senator Lodge withdrew his bill.
"The latest legislative achievement
to the credit of Senator Overman
with his success in putting through
the anti-injunction amendment tc
the railroad bill. This prohibits the
Federal courts from interfering with
the judgments of State courts with
out due notice and a hearing. This
resolution was presented as a sur
prise and it's adoption was a COM
plete shock in some quarters
"Just now when the Democrats are
looking for floor leader to succeed
Senator Money, who is to retire next
March, Overman looms up big. Thl:
is true in spite of the prominence OF
Senators Bailey, Rayner and Bacon
all of whom are discussed for the
floor leadership Of the minority.

As TO Pronunciation.
oa other dav The Chronicle heard

The other day The Chronicle heard
a Young woman pronounce 1t auto
MOBILIZE and felt sorry for her ignor-
ance. But she was right and the
great majority OF the people who pro-
nounce it automobeel, ~ are wrong.
This is the contention Of Maj. VIM
H. Bernard, the old Wilmington Star
man (not cid man, mind you), who
explains the matter in The Fayetta-
Vile Observer. He says the word
Automobile" is composed OF the
Greek auto and the good OLD English
word "mobile," and the correct pro-
nuciation is au-to-mo-bil, with the
accent on long sound of o in mo
and with the short sound of In
"biI." To express it trifle more
plainly, the word is pronounced just
as if it were spelled "auto-mow-bile. -
The error. says Major Bernard, is
confined to no particular class. 1t
prevails in the literary clubs as well
as in the humber circles Of the I'M
educated; and now that the word is
in such common use it is time to call
a halt On 'automobeel, for which
there is no more justification than
up this way, those who are able to
own one are in the habit of refer
ring to it as my car AS any
body can say car" it might be
well for that to be adopted as the
bile. But then there would be still
one trouble left. What are you go
