THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race,
Age and Condition.

OF all the diseases of the skin and
scalp which torture and disfigure man.
kind, three-fourths are eczematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and 1t
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 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 of
the skin, causing loss of sleep, is usual
~ the most distressing symptom and is
caused by the bursting of little veslcles
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 ONT
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,
feelings 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
without charge, q liberal sample of
each will be mailed free to any adj
dress, together with a S2-page pamph-
let, giving a description and treatment
of the various forms Of eczema, as
we'll as other affections Of the skin,
scalp, hair and hands-send to "Cuti-
cura," Dept. w, Boston.

A TWISTING WIND IN KANSAS
Wherever the Funnel Shaped Cloud
Touched the Earth it Created .
Wreckage and Death.

Topeka, Kansas.--A day of sultri-
ness and wind that blew straight
ahead with great velocity gave rise
to a tornado in central Kansas. The
storm started near Eskridge in
Wabaunsee county, about 20 miles
southwest of Topeka, and travelled in
a northeasterly direction 1t was the
old fashioned twisting wind and the
funnel shaped cloud and wherever it
dipped down to earth houses, barns,
live stock-everything in its path
was caught up and dashed to the
earth again
Besides Esllridge, Netawka and
Whiting in Jackson county, Powhat-
tan and Robinson in Brown county
and other smaller towns were partly
wrecked. Two persons were killed
and upwards of so injured in this
stretch Of country.

BROKE THE IOWA DEADLOCK
WILLIAM S. KENYON WAS ELECT

Progressive.

Des Moines, Iowa.-Senator Dolli-
Ver's seat in the United States SEN
ate is to be filled by a man Of the
same political beliefs as the dead SEN
ator. William S. Kenyon, assistant
attorney general and trust buster, has
been elected senator to succeed Sen
ator "Lafe" Young, who was appoint
ed senator by the governor to serve
until a successor to Dolliver had been
elected.
The election of Kenyon broke
deadlock of weeks and came only an
hour and half before the time set
for the final adjournment Of the leg
islature. Both houses agreed when
they met that adjournment should be
taken at 2:30 o'clock. The last eff
forts to name a senator were then
begun.
Seventy eight votes were needed to
elect. The Democrats had 81 votes,
and these were cast solidly for Por-
ter, the Democratic caucus nominee.
On the first ballot Kenyon received 76
votes, the most he had received since
the balloting began. Deemer had %
votes, all that was left of Young S
strength. On the second and last
ballot Kenyon received Is votes, just
the number needed.
