Use This for Eczema

DR.. Evans, Ex-Commissioner of
Health, says: There Is almost no
relation between skin diseases and
the blood" The skin must be cured
through the skin. The germs must
be washed out, and so salves have
long 6 been found worthless. The
most advanced physicians of this
country are now agreed on this, and
are prescribing a wash of winter
green, thymol and other Ingredients
for eczema and all other skin dis
eases. This compound is known as
Odd. Prescription for Eczema.

But what is thus gained?
The Titanic struck an iceberg

quently hear it said. This is equally
true of the dissipated young man or
young woman, living what is COM
monty called the fast life. The pace
certainly DOES kill. Their vitality
is quickly Slapped out and often a
fortune is gone through in the
short space of a few years. Wreck
and ruin follows-a sacrifice to
speed.
The loss of the Titanic impresses
this great lesson forclbly upon us.
When the officer who was at the
wheel of the ship on that fatal
Sunday night testified that it was
the desire for speed that caused the
collision with the Iceberg, he
brought home to everyone the great
danger that besets us on all sides,
whether on land or water. We are
living in a fast age-a time when
everything apparently Is sacrificed
for speed. Are we going to heed
the lesson of the Titanic and slow
down a little? Or are we, after
being warned of the danger, as the
Titanic was, to rush on pell-mell,
regardless of all consequences, I'M
til we are rushed into eternity, a
sacrifice to the speed mania of the
present day?

SCOTT DID REACH THE POLE

The latest news in regard to Cap

has been brought by Herbert G. Pont-

widely known traveller. He accom-
panied Captain Scptt's party as a pho

Captain Scott for some miles into the
great barrier the night the explorer
started on his march toward the pole
when he left him. Mr. Pointing took
cinematograph pictures of the party
as they disappeared in the distance in
the vast desert of ice. Captain Scott,
he says, was then about seven hun.
dred miles from the pole.
Pointing says there is little doubt
that Scott reached the pole about Jan
uary Is, because when Lieutenant
Evans left him January he was only
145 miles from the pole with ample
food supplies and all other neces.
saries. He was then travelling about
fifteen miles day and should have

DESTRUCTION OF
/ ! OLD FRUIT TREES
Travelling Timber Buyers Buy
Them Up for Manufacture Of
Tool H ndIes-They d
Should be Spared.
(By ]. II. HAYNES.)


There seems to be disposition on
the part of the farmers to ostracize
the old standbys Of years ago. 1t
seems like sacrilege to do so.
Some travelling timber buyers went
over our country buying old apple
trees for the manufacture Of tool
handles. Their story was that the
trees were worthless for fruiting and
the price they paid would replace the
old trees with young stock.
The grandfather of the writer
planted an orchard (seedlings) so
years ago. He gave his children the
privileges of choosing tree and nam
ing 1t.
One of the boys called his tree
"Bill's Apple" This tree is still living
and bearing. So Is the boy who
named 1t.
One other OF these seedlings that
was top-grafted with the Pound Pip
pin is still bearing. Enough wood was
taken from these two old trees to
make a gavel to be used by the pre-
siding officer at the annual meeting o1
the descendent of the old pioneer.
Last August over 200 Of these chill
dren and grandchildren met to com
memorate the memory of the plante1
OF these two old trees and this gave
was presented to the society.
Some four or five miles from wher'
these trees stand is a pear orchard al

seedlings planted at the same time by
another pioneer named Harter. These
trees are In fair condition yet, and
although seedlings, the fruit is good
Our motto Is spare the old land
marks. A young tree six years ole
that grew from graft from a tret
276 years old bore an apple last yeal
and we are sure the fruit was of tn,
same quality, appearance, etc., as thu
