IS YOUR SKIN ON FIRE
HERE is A RELIABLE HEALING
APPLICATION FOR ECZEMA
Try This Remedy at Our Risk.

"If ] could only get relief from
this terrible itching, l would give
anything" said an eczema sufferer
the other day
It IS very easy for use to advise
in such matters now, for our new
remedy (Saxon Salve) for skin dis
eases of all sorts, stops the itching
right away.
But better than that it makes the
skin healthy again. It is made so as
20 penetrate right into the skin and
saturate every portion with its heal
ing, germ-destroying power.
Even in a few days you can see
that Saxon Salve is soon going to
clear away the eruption.
No other skin remedy can do 60
much for you as Saxon Salve. It is
gauaranteed-if It does not satisfy
you when used for any skin disorder
we give back your money. n B.

On these we had two crops planted in
the same drills and had all we could use.
We had two hills of cucumbers. Each
hill had about eight vines. From these
we gathered 220 perfectly developed Gu
cumbers between July l and August 10.
In the space occupied by lettuce and
radishes after these crops had been eX-
hausted We planted wax beans and gath
cred about one bushel. On six ether
rows We had two crops of wax beans
from which gathered something like
two bushels of beans. From eight to-
mato plants we had some as fine to-
matoes as ever grew in Washington. and

years ago. Mr.. Parke, who is employed
in the Department of the Interior, had
been detailed there for some special work
On their return TO Washington they took
the place on 18th street. The front and
back yards had been neglected. The back
yard was a great. muddy hole. with the
fences in bad repair. The front yard,
though small. was barren and unkempt.
Mrs. Parke went to work al once to
improve the conditions. She filled in and
smoothed the back yard. repaired the
fences and planted shrubs and vines,
Over the whole she planted grass, after
giving the soil a thorough preparation.
This year her back yard was a veritabIe
fairy's bower of creeping vines, Towering
shrubs, potted plants artistically ar
ranged and little shady bowers.
1t has been playground for her two
small children. 1t has not only brought
health and pleasure to these little tots,
hut the garden has been delight to all
the neiglibors. 1t commands view from
the back of half dozen other homes in
the community and has carried its fresh
ness and brightness to dozens of other
people 1t has also been an inspiration
to other people to improve and brighten
their premises. There is nothing so con-
tagious pride in cleanliness and at
tractiveness in the home.
Mrs Parke said: Il have been more

in the provinces-didn't correspond with
the front he wore about the hotel. After
few days it was reported to the credit
man that the strangers bills for flowers,
taXicabs and other luXuries We're run
ming up out of all proportion to what was
expected of him. The manager began to
look into the case. but could not get
much information about the man. Then
he sent for him.
At the .irst few questions the traveller
expressed tremendous Indignation. He
would not submit to such an eXamina-
ton, he declared If such inquiries We're
to be directed at him he would leave the
hotel at once. The credit man insisted
upon getting answers to his questions,
confessed that he was clerk in Il small
grocery store in Massachusetts town.
He had got tired of the humdrum exist
ence of his village and had decided he
wanted change. He had heard of a Ger
tain expensive hotel and he didn't see
any reason why he should not stop there
for a while. He had been at the hotel
a week, he had sent flowers to numerous
woman friends. and charged them and
the taXis that Went with them To his ac-
count. he had sampled the finest dishes
on the hotel menu had bought seats every
night for the theater and had them
charsed, and he hadn't a cent to pay for
anything.
The manager looked him up and found
he had been working for Sc week, and
up to this time had had reputation for
honesty and sobriety. He was only TWEEN
ts-one. The youngster was arrested for
