CAUSE OF ECZEMA
~ ~ ! NOW EXPLAINED

Is there an incurable form OF Ec'
zema?
Some cay there is. but the best
skin specialists are now agreed that
the only skin diiase that seems to
resist cure, is not genuine Eczema
but an inherited disease, and even
that they believe, will generally
yield to D. D. b. Prescription.
There has been SO many extrava-
grant claims for skin cures that in
telligent people have become skep-
teal. They doubt all medicines
Some deliberately give up" They
think they have tried everyine and
now they despair.
We ourselves will not absolutely
promise you an absolute cure. But
we do know a simple cooling wash
of Wintergreen, Thymol, etc., ap-
piled to the skin has cured a num-
Der of people in this town, and as
it seems, they are permanently
cnred. At any rate this soothing,
cooling wash known as D. d. ID. Pre-
scription certainly does take the
itch away. That much you can
prove to your own satisfaction, in
five minutes, for all you need to do
is to rub a bit into the skin and
the itch just goes away.
AS D. D. D. Prescription with its
vegetable ingredients is a great
wash for ladies, and is
also used on babies, it surely cam
not harm the tenderest skin. And
If you want to get rid of the itch at
once, you can now try this standard,
thoroughly scientific and long estab-
Iished remedy.

Ed Journal; Since Teddy SHE'D his
hat into the ring it has caused some
newspapers, as well as some of our
statesmen to get up in the air for fear
the "Kernol" will do something to the
old constitution framed by the federal
convention in Philadelphia on SEN
tember II 1887 But not SO. He has
been tried and found not wanting so
far as the whole people are concerned
FEARLESS and aggressive he did his
duty as he saw it, He probably made
some mistakes, but most of them were
on the right side.
1t seems there is something wrong
and how to right that wrong is the
question; not by adherlng to old prac-
tees and theories, but by up-to-date
plans and specifications. California
was, in very bad, politically, but new
plans and specifications were drawn.
The people accepted them, and such
house cleaning. The old state breathes
easier today, freed from graft and cor
porations. Under the leadership of
Governor Johnson the goods were de-
livered, and the more we have of it
the better we like it.
1t seems most to be in the man
agement of public affairs by public
officials. Is it policy, policy to do this,
is 1t policy. to do that, even If it is
right to do my duty; is it policy. That
as you all know, is the burden of
some of our public servants troubles.i
A great question is before the people
today. Labor and capital at war, high
cost of living, scarcity of work in some
localities, strikes and boycotts; moth
ing but fight fight fight.
It seems all our able statesmen at
Washington have done in the last half
century was to tinker with the tariff,
and under that tinkering some have
become quite wealthy, while the
whole people paid for the music, and
the band plays on

WILL INVITE
GRAND LODGE
TO CEREMONY

The Elk's Lodge at It's regular
meeting last evening took a Tong
stride toward the consummation Of
Its new building project. A resolu-
ton was adopted pledging the re-
sources of the lodge to whatever
amount may be necessary for the
erection of an up-to-date Elk's build
ing. Among other things they tixed
the date for the laying of the corner
stone during the sessions Of the
Grand Lodge at Portland the second
week in July.
Thls means a new building that
will rival the Masonic Temple which
is now under construction on State
and High streets. 1t is everywhere
conceded that the location of the
Elk's site on Court and High streets
is one Of the very finest in the city
for this purpose, and will make a
most desirable corner for business
rooms and offices as well as for
lodge purposes.
The greatest Immediate point
gained by the Elks in their action
last evening is the securing Of recog-
milton from the Grand Lodge for the
laying of the corner stone. This
means that tens Of thousands of Wis
iting Elks from all points of the
compass will come to Salem upon
that occasion. An invitation will i'm
go out to- the Grand Lodge
officials to take charge of the corner
stone laying ceremonies, and the af-
fair will be put on the official pro-
gram, which alone is worth great
deal to the Salem Lodge as well as
to the Capital City.
