1t is estimated, that $4,000, 900
worth Of diamonds were brought
into this country last year from
Europe and elsewhere, and about
$40, 900, 900 spent by Americans
abroad sightseeing and having a
good time, while 5000, 900 men
were out of employment and thou
sands of people were suffering at
home for the bare necessities, of
life. Under the circumstances and
conditions, it is no wonder that
good men become desperate and
crime is rapidly increasing.

Judging from the returns of the
elections held throughout the coun-
try on the 4th inst, it rather looks
as if there would be a uniting of
the two old parties in the future
and that new aIignments would be
made for the salvation of the
country.

Before Committee.

Commissioner Mungle and the other
members of the Board of Works are
hoping that the hearing today on the
trolley connection bill, which will be
held In Trenton, before the committee
on corporations. will convince Chairman
Allan B. Walsh that there is great need
for the measure in this city.
The bill, which is backed by the Board
of Works, Will empower the board to
make half-mile connections between
existing tracks.
Chairman Walsh. together with AS
semblymen MCGOWAN and Bracken,
former Assemblyman Lee, Frank H.
Sommer and the Board Of Works Of
~ficials, made an inspection Of the va
rious places where the connection
might be advantageously made. The
inspection was made for the beneA1 of
Chairman Walsh.
II it becomes a law, the measure will
permit the Board of Works to allow
the Public Service to loop Military
Park, run tracks through the entire
length of Washington street and make
other changes in the routing of trolley
lines that will benefit the city.

WHAT CURES ECZEMA?

W. have had so many inquiries lately
regarding Eczema and other skin dis
eases that we are glad to make our
answer public, After careful investiga-
ton we have found that a simple wash
of Oil of Wintergreen, as compounded
in D. d. D., can be relied upon. We
would not make this statement to our
patrons, friends and ~neighbors unless
we we're sure of it-and although there
are many so-called Eczema remedies
sold we ourselves unhesitatingly re-
commend d. D.. d. Prescription.
Because-We know that 1t gives in
slant relief to that torturing itch.
Because-D. D. d. starts the cure at
the foundation of the trouble.
Because-It cleanses, soothes and
heals the skin, clearing away pimples
and blotches over night.
Because-It enables Nature to repair
the ravages of disease.
Because-The records of ten years Of
complete cures of thousands OF the
most serious cases show that d. d. d.
is today recognized as the absolutely
reliable Eczema Cure.
Drop into our store today just to
talk over the merits of this wonderful
Prescription. We will also explain the
value Of D. D. d. as a household
remedy.
