ECZEMA ON BACK AND CHEST

Pierson, ~ Dakota.-"The eczema
started on my scalp. 1t finally went
on to the back of my neck. then on to
my back, arms and chest. 1t broke
out In pimples first and then seemed
to run together in some places, max
ing a sore about the size OF dime.
At times the itching and burning were
SO intense that 1t seemed unbearable.
The more I scratched 1t the worse 1t
became, and there would be a slight
discharge from 1t. especially on my
scalp, SO as to make my hair matted
and sticky close to the scalp. The
hair was dry. lifeless and thin. My
hair was falling SO terribly that had
begun to despair of ever finding re-
lief. My clothing irritated the erup-
ton on my back. The affected parts
were almost a solid scab.

Railway Men Meet at London Today

London, Sept. 17.--Great Britain

have to endure another national
transport strike. Acting on demand
from Birmingham, where the strike
situation is serious, the executive
board Of the National Union of Rail

cuss the advisability of calling a ma
tional strike. Birmingham has taken

cries are impossible.

When the nearly all cotton districts

should pay the fertilizer bill and for
the greater portion of the farm eX-

raised practically free from debt. The
practice of some of the farmers of
the Middle West should be adopted
that is, that nothing could be car

walk. This of course with us would
except the cotton lint.
Most of the profits from such a

would be profit without fail. The
