Try This Remedy at Our Risk.
In eczema the little vesicles or
pimples are filed with a fluid that
burns and tortures the skin the mo-
ment they are torn open by scratch

the disease more painful instead OF
giving relief.
In this condition we can conscienti.
ously recommend our new skin rem
edy, Saxon Salve, for its action on
the skin In all forms of eczema and
other distressing skin troubles Is in
deed marvellous.
The terrific itcnlng is allayed at
once. the acrid fluid in the vesicles
Is neutralized and dried up and at
the same time Saxon Salve penetrates
and saturates the skin with its heal
ing, antiseptic power.
We guarantee that Saxon Salvo will
satisfy you II you use 1t for skin

A CURE "FoR" ALL.
Not Patent Cureai, Nor a Modern
Miracle, but Simply a Rational Cure for
Constipation

1t is hard to tell just why SBAVER'S
LAXATIVE TONIC TABLETS have be-
come so popular with most people, but
considering the short time they have
been advertised, the demand for them
has been cause for wonder. They are
no different in appearance from other
laxative tablets, but they really must
possess unusual merits for from our
own personal observation we know that
they always do just what is expected
of them. Their action upon the skin and
complexion is remarka BILE, for the prin-
cipal ingredient in them is extract Of
dandelion and your own doctor will tell
you that dandelion Is one of the great
est skin alternatives known to the pro-
fession.
If your bowels are inactive, your skin
sallow, your tongue coated and II you
are troubled with pimples or bilious
spells, a 25 cent box of SEAVER'S
LAXATIVE TONIC TABLETS will clear
up your complexion, tone up the liver,
encourage the action of your bowels and
make you feel well again or W. F. Root,
Brattleboro, c. H. Parmalee, Wilmington,
will gladly pay you back your money.

DEMOCRATS ATTEMPT TO
RIAD{k THE ORGANIC ATION

Immediately word OF the new or
gHnlzation gained circulation sunday,
Democratic influences became very
active In an effort to spread disscn-
sion among ths organizers and among
Republicans generally In an effort to
block the club, II was reported that
the purpose Ut the club was TO disrupt
the county Republican committee and
give over It's leadership to +. A. Hub
bell. Another rumur was that the
purpose was tn Dust Chairman Elfego
Baca of the Republican committee.
Democratic cmlssarlcs are said to
have spread broadcast all sorts OF
wild rumOrs In determined effort
to keep the Republicans from getting
together. Hut tho standing of tho
mon behind the club movement
served to break down these attempts
and enthusiasm for the club grew
sunday and today until. according to
Its promoters, the Republicans OF Al
buauerquo are sOlidly united In It's
support.
The vigorous Democratic assault
on the club only served to bring
prominently before the minds OF the
Republicans that the Democrats have
local campaign club. the Wilson
Marshall Ferguson club" which Ia
not only organized as IA campaign
cub but has actually assumed full
management of the Democratic cam
pnign In this county. having taken It
out OF the hands OF. the DRmocratie
county committee.
Rumur has II that the campaign
ideas Of Chairman Louis McRae. OF
the Democratic committee. who ls Il
firm advocate Of rigldly clean cleo
lions, clean registration and above
board methods. did not suit some Of
the party managers who organized
the Wilson FERGUSON club to handle
the campaign themselves.
The Tuft-Jnffa club, according to
the men most active In its Organl2l'
ton, has no intention OF interfering
Ia any way with tho Republican coun-
IS committee, whose plans for tho
campaign have already been perfect
| ed, but To work In harmony with that
| committee In every possible way.
