Street Ethics in Chicago.

A law has been enacted in Prussia
which makes it q prison offense for
any one to fail to answer a cry for
help or to 20 to the rescue OF per
son in danger when it is possible TO
do so without endangering ones own
life Such a law would not be amiss
in Chicago Not only ethics, but or
binary decency and man}iness are too
frequently forgotten here. Let thug
assault a person in the street and the
majority of men who happen along.
instead of going TO the assistance of
the person assaulted. will sCurry away
so as not to be dragged into the affair
Let a person be injured by street
car half the people who Witnessed the
accident will refuse to give their
names to De called upon as Witnesses
by the victim
Whether all the ethics Of citizenship
can be enforced effectively through
laws and ordinances may be doubted.
yet the legal declaration of some pri-
mary duties would help TO develop a
conscience in such matters now appar-
emily sadly lacking.-ChiCago Tribune.

ITCHING, BURNING ECZEMA

81 S. Wolfe St, Baltimore, Md
"My trouble was caused by a severe
sprained ankle; the bruised blood not
having been drawn off caused a skin
affection which the doctors pro-
nounced eczema. 1t first started with
an itching and burning. with very dry
skin. Constant scratching. especially
during the night finally broke the
skin, and during the day the watery
fluid that came from 1t would dry and
peel off like fish scales. My stocking
would stick TO my ankle as If 1t were
glued | also had it on my fingers.
Il was treated without getting any
benefit | began using Cuticura Soap
and Ointment as directed and then ap-
piled the CutiCura Ointment and bound
the ankle with n soft bandage, after
bathing it with Cuticura Soap. They
cured me in about two months"
