kind, three-fourths are ecZematous-
Millions are born with eczema, and ir
is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect in infancy
and childhood irritating conditions af-
fecting the skin, ignorance Of its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is a skin disease. 1t is not re-
garded as hereditary. nor contagious.
and is impartially distributed among
the rich and poor. the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning or
the skin, causing loss of sleep, is usual
ly the most distressing symptom and is
caused by the bursting of little vesicles
filled with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. New
vesicles form, fill and burst, scales
form upon scales, and crusts upon
crusts until Disagreement is added to
torture.
One of the most successful treat
ments for eczema, whether applied to
the youngest infant or the Oldest per-
son, is hot baths with Cuticura Soap
and gentle anointings Of Cuticura oint-
ment. For more than a generation.
these pure, sweet and gentle emolli-
ents have proved the most efficient
agents in the speedy and permanent
relief of all forms of eczemas, rashes,
itchings and irritations of the skin and
scalp. Although Cuticura soap and
ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, in order that
those who have suffered long and
hopelessly and who have lost faith In
everything may make trial of them

If kindly fate our every wish

Wortxmen's Compensation.
''Not more than fifteen per cent of
the men injured in work accidents
were able to obtain compensation
under the so-called common law"
said John H. Wallace of the Industri-
al Insurance Commission of the State
Of Washington, in an address on
State Insurance from the Workmen's
Viewpoint
Mr.. Wallace said that the amount
paid by employers to protect them
selves from verdicts was not less than
q million dollars in each great in
dustrial state. So the majority of
workmen were left to bear their bur-
den alone or as charges upon So
ciety.
In telling what the State Of WASH
ington had done in inaugurating a
system of compulsory state insurance
against industrial accidents, Mr.. Wal
lace said that the question Of proper
legislation had been considered by a
commission Of five employers and
five employees. Among the decisions
made was that the limit to be paid
upon death was five thousand dol
lars to a beneficiary aged 80 years,
which would be a reserve that would
guarantee a pension throughout life
or dependency and insure self-respect
and good citizenship of all survivors.
Lump Sum Payments.
"The committee" said Mr.. Wallace,
also agreed that lump sum payments
should rarely be given. However, the
commission, at it's discretion, has
ample power to pay off the mortgage
on a widows home or advance money
to permanently cure a helpless child.
In other words, commute a portion or
all of the reserve fund set aside for
the survivors use. into lump sum
payment. - -. 4 ~.
"The scale of payments for partial
ability was graduated down from
$1,5OO.00 maximum, the compensa-
ton for the loss of the major ARM" =
Mr.. Wallace pointed out that under
the Washington law the first care has
been that the child of the present
shall have an opportunity to be a
good citizen of, the future.
