Eta Duryea johnson, to take her own
life. johnson declared this at the in

Johnson testified that his wife had
twice prevented him from taking his
life, and that she had wrecked her
health in her exertions to care for him
in his spells of nervous prostration.
The negro champion was in tears
at times, and nearly broke down once
as he told of his own sufferings as q
result of the championship fight and
OF his wife's efforts to cure him.

and not to those who run on the
freight trains between stations The
grievance committee composed of one
member from each lodge on the b. and
O. system has been in Baltimore en-
deaVoring to ADJUST the wage scale
since last January. Besides the in.
crease OF one cent an hour for the
yard brakemen under the new ar
rangement the brakemen on the road
have several other matters adjusted
although they do not receive an in
crease in pay. One of the questions
settled for the road men refers to
terminal overtime. Heretofore, a
brakeman was not allowed anything
for waiting u call at terminal away
from home. Under the new arrange
mont he is to be paid for time spent
at terminal away from homo after
eighteen hours. This means for ex-
ample, if a brakeman lives in Martins
burg and is kept waiting for a turn
out of some other place more than
eighteen hours the company will have
to pay him for the additional time
he is kept waiting. Another question
settled refers to dead head trips. If
a man is called upon to deadhead
from his home terminal and is kept
waiting there more than ten hours
the company will pay him for the time
he loses. Other minor grievances
were adjusted, also but these are the
most important ones acted upon

RED ITCHING SKIN
LIKELY TO BE FIRST STAGE OF
CZEMA-WHAT TO DO.
Try This Remedy at Our Risk.

Try This Remedy at Our Risk.
When the skin of face or body feels
hot, drawn and irritable, it is likely
to break out with small watery PIN
pies accompanied by violent itching.
This is one form of eczema, and
should be attended to at once.
In all our experience we have never
found anything to give such uniformly
good results in skin troubles and
eruptions, whether acute of chronic,
as our new skin remedy, Saxon Salve.
Besides allaying the frightful itch
ing almost soon as applied, it sinks
into the skin like water into sponge
and thus completely envelops the dis
eased portion with its powerful heal
ing and soothing ingredients. I'M
provement is seen in very short
time. and the skin is rendered soft
and smooth again.
We eheerfully give back your mon,
ey if Saxon Salye is not satisfactory.
