The Skin and Not the Blood.

Until recently ii has been a gen.
orally accepted proposition that &C.
zema was a disease of the blood. and
that in order to cure it. the blood
must be purified and enriched. Care
full experiments and scientific inves-
legations have taught us that eczema
is purely skin disease, and durable
through the skin alone. A great
majority of persons afflicted with &C.
zema have no other ailment, which
is accepted as positive proof that it
is purely a skin disease. Having es-
tablished this fact, the chemists OF
the American Drug and Press AS
ISOLATION 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 you are
afflicted with this loathsome disease,
do not delay trying Meritol Eczema
Remedy. You will be surprised at
it's prompt action, its soothing effect
and it's permanent results. Il. j.
Parman has been commissioned by
the association to sell 1t in De-
corah. July

 Fully 25,0Oo persons attended the cere- monies. Congressman Barchfeld, who is a member of the rivers and harbors com- mittee. talked on slack water navigation, and said:
 Our ambition is to have the Ohio river canalized from Pittsburg to Cairo when the Panama canal Is ready Tor the business of the world We know that the government engineers reports inform us that it will take eight years to complete the work on the plans &C., cepteds but not yet authorized"
 Mir Barchfeld said that he had studied transportation facilities and was de- termined that those countries which have streams and canals peralleled by railroads were able to get their mer- 
 duced cost The products, cheapened by cheap transportation, are thrown on ships flying the flags of their own countries and landed on our shores at a less cost than the American products. he said
 we must rehabilitate our American merchant marine which we have allowed by virtue of our general prosperity at home to dwindle into absolute insignih- canoe and allowing our foreign compet- tors with their own express wagons, which are the merchant ships Of foreign countries, all subsidized by their respec- tive governments, to undersell us.
 The congressman further asserted that after having completed the canalization of the Ohio by a 9-foot stage to Cairo and a 14-foot stage down the Mississippi to New Orleans, Pttsburg will be able to offer it's products in competition with the markets of the world.

'NAMARA CHARGED
 WITH 19 MURDERS
Like Number of Motions to Quash Are Filed by
 Defense

Los Angeles, July 6.-The defense in the McNamara alleged dynamite com spiracy case sprung a surprise today when John McNamara, the accused In diana labor leader, and his brother, James B. McNamara, were called into Judge Bordwell's' department of the superior court.
 Both men were summoned to plead to 19 charges of murder, the result of the destruction of the Times news paper plant on October l, 1910. In ad- dition, John J. McNamara was expect ed to plead to the charge that he had conspired to destroy the Lewellyn Iron works. Instead he challenged the jur- isdiction of the court, claiming that it had no right to exact & plea or to try him on either the 19 charges of murder or the Llewellyn Iron work s indictments because he was extradited from Indianapolis not for murder but for alleged dynamiting.
 This move plainly surprised the pros ecution.
 An argument on the relevancy of John McNamara's action promised to continue all the afternoon.
 To the 19 charges of murder against James B. McNamara as many motions to quash were filed on 35 grounds. The motions allege that the names of F. J. Zeehandelaar, secretary of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers association, and Reese Llewellyn of the Llewellyn Iron works and other witnesses called, were not included in the purported copy of grand jury proceedings and that the contents of exhibits were not specified.
