ECZEMA is NOT AN
INCURABLE AFFLICTION

Thousands of sufferers from Eczema and
other skin diseases daily bear the terrible
itching because they labor under the be-
lief that no remedy exists which viii
effect a cure. Such misrepresentation IS
the cause of much needless suffering
Eczema and allied diseases are the result
of a parasite which has found lodging
in the skin or blood, and makes its pres
ence felt in places nearest the surface.
To stop the itching 1T is but necessary to
relieve the afflicted parts. To effect q
cure is an entirely different matter. The
parasite must be drawn to the surface,
completely destroyed and carried off

Topeka doesn't often get play like

reason only a few were at the Grand

is written by Charles Klein, author of

deals with present day problems, the
ambitions and the greed for money by

told and the company which presented

the best seen here this season Charles

to be amused evidently, and last night
people who had bought gallery seats
evidently thought the play was funny,
for they laughed loudly in the serious
scenes and greatly interfered with the
enjoyment of the play by those who
might have appreciated the tense dra-
matte situations, but Mr.. Crawford
can't choose who is to make up his
audiences. If he did he would soon
be compelled to close his doors.
The plot deals with a banker who

er's former sweetheart, in whose care
the papers have been left, refuses to

point the husband finds the banker in
his house and suspects him of having
an appointment with his wife Suit
for divorce follows. The play closes
with the bankers associates cleared,
but with his starting for prison and

would get her divorce and wait for her
