FACE RAW AND BLEEDING
RESULTS OF SCRATCHING IN &c.
ZEMA-HoW TO AVOID 1T
Try This Remedy at Our Risk

Mothers often find II necessary to
wrap cloths around children's hands
to prevent them from scratching the
face raw when they have eczema or
some other itching eruption.
Now that we are ready to supply
our new remedy, Saxon Salve, which
allays the itching in a few moments,
this is easily avoided.
The first application even where the
skin is broken out and scratched raw
will bring comfort. And the healing
power Of Saxon Salve is so great and
the remedy permeates and saturates
the skin so thoroughly that Il is only
a short time until the eruption has
vanished and the skin is left smooth
clear and well.
We guarantee Saxon Salve 10 sat.
lsfy you-money back II Il does not.
Try Il for any recent or chronic skin
trouble OF children or adults.-Wm.

wh.n Almanac. w.r. Nav.

The first printed almanac. published
at Nuremberg in 1915, was thought
such a wonderful thing that II was
sold at ten golden crowns a copy
more than its weight In gold. The drst
English printed almanac was the
Shepherds Kalendar," translated from
the French and printed by Richard
Pynson In 1897. and the 6rst popular
almanac OF the "Old Moore" type was
the "Pronostyacyon Of Mayster John
Thybault. medycyner and astronomer
Of the Emperyall Majestic OF the yeare
of our Lorde MCCCCCXXXIJ."
Besides prophesying wares, reyo-
lucions and the death Of kynges," that
early almanac told you the proper day
to take physic. Monday was the day
for ailments OF the legs, Tuesday for
affections of the head, etc. But what
the unfortunate sufferer was to do who
had a pain on the wrong day II does
not state. You must take pains at the

PRODUCTION DECREASING.

Right understanding of the internal
report, it is pointed out, explains tho
apparent inconsistency between al.
legged increased consumption of liquor
and increased temperance area. Such
understanding is that the figures are

houses, not upon the actual amour!

journals continually strengthen this
position. In a recent issue Midas
Criterion, speaking OF the expected
business conditions, tells US editor

plus produced in the previous thres
years will still remain an incubus on
the market" 1t says, moreover, that
