CALL IT A HAPPINESS TAX"
Residents of Berlin Object to Assess
ment on Observation-Disclosures
ties Are Firm.

Berlin.-What Is described as a tar
on happiness is a novel feature OF
legislation that is arousing the ire OF
citizens Of Berlin. To increase the
:city's the authorities have
formulated a measure levying a spe
Icial direct tax on all forms Of enter
tainment, except those for the benefit
OF schools and charities. Any n sell
ing a ticket to a theatrical perform
iance, circus or dance will have to pay
"a tax ranging from 10 to rs per cent
OF the cost of the ticket.
Even the cheap moving picture
shows that charge eight cents are as
sessed IN cents for every visitor.
The amusement loving Berliners are
raising a wrathful protest against
what they declare to be an unjust tai
on simple and harmless pleasures
The authorities are firm in their pur
pose, and insist on putting the meas
ure through. 1t is estimated the tai
will bring in a revenue Of $25O,00(
annually.

THOUGHT DEATH WAS CERTAIN
Man Hangs Over Abandoned Well for
Two Hours and When Exhausted
Drops Six Inches.

Sharon. Pa.-While tramping over a
field to make a short cut to his home
at a late hour George Hoven walked
on the boards Of an abandoned well
and fell through. He was able to
grab hold of a crossbeam and succeed
ed In linking his arms about 1t. Then
he screamed for help, but his cries
were not heard.
After clinging to the support for
about two hours Hoven began to grow
weak. The freezing air was also tell
ing on him and he was fast losing
his strength. He offered up a prayer
and allowed his arms to relax. He
fell, expecting to be killed. Instead.
he dropped only six inches, as the
well had been filled in within about
FIVE feet of the top. The fright at.
tending the moments while he hung
suspended in the air completely un-
nerved him.

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 It
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. It 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
ly the most distressing symptom and ia
caused by the bursting Of little vesicles
filed 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,
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, a liberal sample OF
each will be mailed free to any adj
dress, together with a 32-page pamph-
let, giving a description and treatment
of the various forms Of eczema, as
well as other affections Of the skin,
scalp, hair and hands-send to "Cutt-
cura," Dept. w, Boston.
