LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

wherever the water would touch 1t

rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost I'M
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to

whole Of my upper lip and chin ana
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be a solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years.

Was Published Earlier Than Bos-
ton News Letter.
Periodical, In Manuscript Form, Called
"Master William" Issued 800
Years Ago by French on
St. CroIx island, Me.

New York.-An Industrious digger
into the depths OF the past has
brought to light the interesting fact
that Americas first newspaper was
published full century earlier than
the date commonly ascribed. II It
was not q newspaper in the later &C.
ceptance of the term It was at least
a periodical, prepared and published
with more or less regularity for the
eager perusal Of the little community
which It served.
In short 1t was on St Croix island.
a few miles below the present city OF
Calais; that the Master William was
published during the winter OF 1904
O5 by the members Of the French ex'
petition under DeMonts and Cham
plain, who were seeking to establish
there the capital Of the vast and
vague empire claimed by France in
America. They were the first Euro
peans to pass winter on these north
ern shores Of the new world since
the days Of the legendary North
men centuries before; and at that
time they were the only Europeans
in America north Of the Spaniards in
Florida.
Samuel Champlain himself. later
the founder Of Quebec and the father
Of New France, was the chronicler
Of the expedition, and in his vivid
story Of that winter on st. Croix Is
land he makes express mention Of the
Master William, the significance OF
which appears to have been over
looked by historians generally. He
relates that the paper was prepared
from time to time by the bright splr'
its Of the party" to while away the
tedium Of the long and severe win
ter. It was passed around in writ
ten, not printed, form; but among q
few score men, all deadhead sub
scribers, thht was a wholly satisfac
tory method Of publication.

In accordance with the large

important experiment in municipal

The feeling among the public Is
correspondingly strong. 1t is pointed
out that cooperative shops not

TradeS People and Politicians OF Re
pubic Fight Measure That Would
Lower Living Cost.

PaTis.-The governments proposal
to reduce the present high cost Of liV-
ing by the establishment Of municipal
bakers and butchers shops through
out the country is meeting with deter
mined opposition from various quar-
tiers.
II was Of course foreseen that the
trades people, whose business would
be subject to competition, would
raise an outcry, but 1t has come as
great surprise that many politicians,
who might have been expected to
back It heartily, are either maintain
ing q neutral position or support
ing the opposition.
In nearly all cases the radical So
cialists have criticised the project
severely as unavoidable and inenica-
cious and the very few-that is the
collectivists-who have felt bound for
the sake Of consistency to favor the
bill, are doing 30 with very little en-
thusiasm.
An excellent indication Of the
strong feeling against the bill has Just
been given by the debate and vote OF
the Paris municipal council on a
resolution presented by Councillor
Robiglia, protesting against the crea-
ton Of cooperative shops. At the
meeting Of the council, which was
exceptionally well attended, forty

Imagine spending One Hundred Dol.
lars for preparations to heal a wound
on the leg, and then finding that 4

That is just what c. NJ. Waggoner, Of
Brooklyn, N. Y, did. He tells briefly
his experience in the following letter:
"a few years ago seriously injured
my leg, and tried everything saw ad-
vertised. Finally, was advised to try
Resinol Ointment, and in very short
time the wound was completely
healed. One small Jar Of Resinol oint-
ment did what one hundred dollars
worth Of other remedies had failed to
do. G. NJ. WAGGONER,

eczema, scalds and burns, letter, milk
