years Of eczema. About four years
ago noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger, and not
giving it any attention, it soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.

long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. could

the salves could think of, / went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief got was
scratching.

wonderful Cuucura Remedies, / pur-
chased one complete set, and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are
entirely well, one set being all used

some fire disaster involv-
ing the complete destruction
of great property values and

lives. The annual fire losses of the
United States are measured by the
millions; in fact, it is stated that over
two hundred and fifty million dollars
worth of property was wiped out by FIRE in
the United States last year. While it is true
that the precautions to prevent tire and fire
fighting systems are often inadequate, the
main trouble lies in fling, Eon-freprOof

that hreproof construction is both practicable
and economical. In some industries freproof
building is compelled by law. Reinforced
concrete has come to the front as the most
important agent in building against fire. The
use of 6emsHt in building is becoming more
and more common, due to its fireproofness,
durability and economy. When building any
thing from the back porch steps to an Office

adopted. The use of UHiUerJaI Portland

Yesterday the Nugget received a lengthy telegram from the Daily Alas kan which We didn't believe was of suf- ficient interest to our readers to publish but it certainly nailed the lie that has been sent and published broadcast that President Taft had turned over the coal lands to the Guggs.
 The telegram stated rousing indie- nation meeting had been held and res oIutions adopted against action of gov ernment delaying issuance of coal pat ent claims. The information went on to state the reason they believed said coal lands were held up. and that per sonal telegrams would be forwarded to President Taft on Saturday from all over the district.

Local Ball Teams First Defeat.

The local High school base ball
team met with its first defeat, this
fall, at the hands of the Fennimore
High school team Saturday afternoon
on the local grounds The score at
the end of the game was 90 in Fenni-
more's favor At the first Of the
game the local boys were rather ex-
cited, or mostly cold, for it was a
very cold afternoon and several scores
were soon booked for the visiting
team Soon, however, Fisher the
local twirler'' was in fighting trim
and as each ball was thrown over the
plate the clear voice Of the jumps,
Prof James could be distinctly heard
above the other shouts, with strike
one, two, and three, batter out.
The game all the way through was
very exciting, although rather one
sided during the first three innings.
The visiting team may be given
credit for playing good ball but when
luck went against them they lost all
hopes of victory, the pitcher became
wild, the folders threw the ball
over the first baseman's head and they
just went all to pieces in general
Some of the good plays of the local
team were two base hit by Nathan,
and several singles by other men.
But the best of all was to see Bert
Chandler and Clyde Roth steal bases.
They could steal 'em with the fellows
looking right at them
Even though the game was full of
errors on both sides and although the
local team lost in the end; it was
worth seeing for those who enjoy this
national sport. The score as taken
by The Herald news usher who was
right there at the game was as fol-
lows:
2 8 So Z 50 r
Fennimore % 0 0 0 2 0 o. 8
Lancaster 20 0 0 0 2 / 3 8
By looking at the above score mark
ing one will easily see that the
Fennimore team were loosng their
nerve or getting weak toward the end
as they made no runs in the last
three innings.
This is horse apiece for the two
contestants. Now watch and see
who wins the next game to break the
record
Some cannot go to the cities to
watch the great league games but you
can see some fine games right on your
home grounds, with little effort and
by coming out you will help the boys
of our own city to enjoy the game
loved by every boy as we'll as older
people in the whole land.
