effective entrance he decided to have
the residence face V street. There
was no other house of any sort In V

What will the commission recom-

WHY SALYES FAIL
 TO CURE ECZEMA

Scientists are now agreed that the eczema germs are lodged not in the outer skin or epidermis, but in the inner skin. Hence, a penetrating liquid is required, not an outward salve that clogs the pores.
 We recommend to all eczema patients the standard prescription Oil of Wintergreen as compounded in liquid form known as D. D. D. Pre- scription. A trial bottle of this D. D. D. Prescription, at only 25 cents, will instantly relieve the itch. We have sold and recommended this remedy for years, and know of wonderful cures from it's use. We recommend it to our patrons.
