Careful experiments and scientific IN
vestigations have taught us that ecze
ma is purely aslSin diserse, and cura-s
bic through the skin alone. A great
majority Of persons afflicted with eczer
ma have no other ailment which Is
accepted as positive proof that it is
purely skin disease. Having estab-
lished this fact, the chemists Of the
American Drug and Press Accusation
set about to compound a prescription
that would successfully cope with this
disease, and after much Investigating
brought out Meritol Eczema Remedy,
the effect of which is marvellous. If
yon are afflicted with this loathsome
disease, do not delay trying Meritols
Eczema Remedy. You will be sur
prised at its prompt action, its sooth-
ing effect and It's permanent results.

Had Senator Gamble been a
man who was looking ahead to
make a mark for himself in the
United States senate he never
would have been SO blind to the
opportunity that he let slip by
when he signed the majority re-
port finding Senator Lorimer OF
Illinois entitled to a seat in the
United States senatr. IL Senator
Grmble had been sincere pro-
gressive he never would have join
ed in the whitewashing Of Lormier.
If the best dressed senator at
Washington is wise and knows a
good thing when he has it, he will
save his money and retire quietly
at the expiration ct his present
term .-Lesterville Ledger.
The only objection to the Led
gers statement is the intimation
that no one but "sincere progress
ives" are opposed to the seating of
Lormier. III Bro. Killion will
notice who are opposing the Him
OILS senator he will observe that the
opposition is by no means confined
to the self styled "progressives."

By the explosion of an acetalene
lighting plant in the basement of
the Kendall hotel at N1obrara last
Sunday evening the three story
building was demolished, four per-
sons killed and four others serious
ly injured. The dead are Mr..
Kendall the proprietor of the hotel,
his son Kenneth. Anna Duseks g
cook, and Roy F. Crosby a travel
ing man. The injured are Mrs.
Crosby, wife of the travelling man
who was killed, who had both legs
broken snd was severely burned,
Mrs Kendall one leg broken and
severely burned, Pearl Kendall one
foot blown off and severely burned,
ald Mrs. Kurpicka burned but
not seriously injured. Mr.. Ken
dali noticed that gas was escaping
and went down to the basement
where it is supposed that he struck
a match which caused the carbide
to explode. Acetalene lights are
all right if properly handled, but
the way to handle them is to re-
move them to some out OF the way
place and leave them there

The state senate should be war;

The state senate should be warm
ly commended for its methods of
retrenchment. At the opening of
the session the house ignored the
Dillon law limiting legislative en-
ployes but the senate stood pat by
the law. Now the senate insists
that the door keepers and watch
men shall not be paid as legislative
employees but shall get their pay
as state employees. The tax payers
will certainly appreciate the privi-
lege of paying these employees out
of one pocket rather than out of
the other.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
sir-An article in your May esd
issoe gives an account OF the members
OF half dozen families in Staun,on,
Va, being afflicted with ptomaine pois-
oning. [ believe no better work can
be done by the press than 10 warn the
public OF the danger existing from par
taking OF foods not properly preserved,
and of the necessity OF utilizing canned
goods as soon as possible after open-
Ing the can. Scientific experiments
have determined time and again that
numerous articles Of food, when not
Kept in hySicnic condition. readily
detcriorate SO as to become poisonous
substances. 81
The formation OF ptomaines gener-
ally, although not always. accompanies
putrefaction. Therefore great care
should be taken that meat. fish, fowl,
oysters. canned goods, etc, are eaten
1t is not economy TO partake of food
when putrefaction has commenced
Food can be kept in hysienic condi-
tion either by heat or refrigeration
by the exclusion of air or BY the appli-
cation of substances which. on account
Of their antiseptic properties, prevent
the growth of poisonous germs
Statistics show that since the enact
menr OF the pure food law there have
been 2%.l77 cases of ptomaine poison
ing. 1,o42 of which were fatal 1t is
certainly distressing to think of this
vast number of persons becoming i'll
and CT SO many innocent lives lost,
merely because food products are not
preserved SO as to keep them in hy-
gienic condition until consumed Such
distressing conditions Will continue to
prevail as long as consumers do not
heed the warning of the danger exist
ing in consuming foods not kept in a
hygienic condition.
Yours very truly,
