Or. Evans. Ex-Commissioner of Health,
says There is almost no relation be-
tween skin diseases and the blood" The
skin must be cured through the skin.
The germs must be washed out, and so
salves have long ago been found worth
less. The most advanced physicians of
this country are now agreed on this, and
are prescribing a wash of wintergreen,
thymol and other ingredients for eczema
and all other skin diseases. This COM
pound is known as ODD. Prescription
for Eczema.
DIR. Holmes, the well known skin spe-
cialist writes: II am convinced that the
ODD. Prescription Is as much a specific
for eczema as quinine for malaria. We
have been prescribing the ODD. remedy
for years"

A NEOPOLITAN FISHERMAN NOW
POPULAR TENOR.

Raoul Romito is one of the tenors
of the Boston Opera Company who
will visit many cities of New Eng
land on the Post Season Tour in a
condensed version with costumes Of
Flotows English opera Martha" Mr.
Romito has only been in opera for
three years and his history reads
like a fairy tale. Now he is called
Golden Voice" by all the Boston
Opera people, who are all more than
interested in the progress of Romi-
to, the fisherman.
Now Nj. Romito has learned to talk
English very fluently, and his own
STORY, as he told it to the inter
viewer, is far more interesting than
other words would make it.
Three years ago I was a fisher
man in Napoli. All day I toiled, but
1 was always happy for I was al
ways singing. / knew nothing of mu
sic, nor could l even read or write.
One day Maestro Henry Russell
managing Director of the Boston
Opera Company was passing in a
sailboat and heard me sing. I an
pretty sure that it was the La donna
e. mobile aria from 'Rigoletto.' He
asked me to sing something else and
was astonished to find I knew how
to sing only by ear. But he told me
that I had a wonderful voice, and
sold my little fishing ship and went
with him to Paris. There 1 started
to study, and in a year L learned

intoxicating Right Views.

Some people hold that children
should hear sad things to cultivate
their sympathy. Might 1t not be just
as effective to teach them to sympa-
thize with gladness? Is 1t not much
easier to weep with those that weep
than 1t is to really rejoice with those
who do rejoice? It is a very hard
ened heart that is not softened at the
sight of pain and distress, while it re-
ouires something higher and nobler
pleasure or happiness greater than
we possess.

PERSECUTION OF THE Gypsy
Forty-five Executed in Hungary In 1928
on the Charge of Being
CannibaIs.

The persecution of Gypsies recalls
the old belief that the Gypsies were
cannibals, and the methods by which
judicial confirmation of the belief was
sometimes obtained. In 1928 As Hun
garian Gypsies were executed on
this charge. First racked until
they confessed to murder. they were
taken to the place where their victims
were supposed to be buried and rack
ed again. No bodies were discovered.
Therefore they confessed to eating
them, and were duly executed. Joseph
II. sent a commission down to inves-
tigate the case later, and the entire
innocence of the Gypsies was proved
but history does not say what hap
pened to the witnesses for the prose
cution.
Gypsies are still more or less "perse
cuted," though in our milder modern
sense of the word. And no wonder A
couple of years ago 1t was stated OF
Official authority that in Hungary mos
of the serious crimes-murders kid
nRping and robberies-were committed
by Gypsies, and very few of the OF
tenders were caught Gypsies ar,
