Mother Tells How Saxo SaIve Con
 quered Eczema.

Last fall we noticed small rough and red spots coming on baby's hands. The skin was very dry and she kept scratching them until they would bleed We lost good deal of sleep with her. Finally we took her to the doctor and he treated her several weeks, but it kept spreading until we had 10 keep her little hands tied and dress and bandage them several times day they were so sore, and We used every thing we could hear of for eczema.

Mrs. George Chapin of California, formerly Miss Helen Partridge) writes her uncle, Judge Catlin, as follows:
 "The children had very happy ex- perience this winter. We had a real snow storm in Mill Valley, the first in fifteen years" Mill Valley Is suo- urb of San Francisco, across the Bay to the North "It was eight inches deep on the mountain, and about four inches deep in our own yard. We were all greatly excited and 1t was really a most wonderful sight, ,-the trees being in full foliage under the snow, not bare as they are in the East in winter. The children played in 1t to their hearts content. All the youngsters in Mill Valley went wild over throwing snow-bslls, and unfor- tunately there were many broken win dows, and also frightened horses, who had never seen snow. We may never have such an experience here again. The storm was only local, not reaching San Francisco. We have had most beautiful spring, following the severe winter, and the wild flowers and flow ering shrubs have been wonderful

Hartford Judge Walter H. Cla-- will fight 10 retain his office as judge of the police court Of Hartford and ht has retained counsel to contest the claim of Frederick c. Eberie, whose appointment by Governor Simeon E Baldwin to succeed Judge Clark was announced The Governor has also named David A. Wilson as associate judge to succeed Edward l.. Steele who is now corporation counsel. The appointments were made to become ef feetive July l.
 States Attorney Hugh NJ. Alcorn however, gave out information con corning the case. Judge William F Henney and MT. Alcorn are looking after the interests of Judge Clark. and will fight against Mir. Eberle taking the seat upon the police court bench Their claim will be that the Governor is without authority to appoint any one to Judge Clarks office, and that Judge Clark must hold over until his successor is duly appointed by the General Assembly. The case, accord ing to Mr Alcorn, Is without prece dent in Connecticut in so far as a 1 judgeship Is concerned Just what the nature of the proceedings will be has not been determined.
 As to the right of the Governor to appoint officers after the General As. sembly has adjourned without exer- cising it's right the legal profession seems to be pretty evenly divided. The law gives the Governor the power to i'll vacancies. Whether the present minor judges throughout State hold office until their successors have been appointed by the Legislature. or whether their terms expire whether the Legislature appoints or not, Is the matter which the courts will decide. either on quo warranto or mandamus proceedings.

A MESSAGE
To Feeble Old Peonle.

AS one grows old the waste of the
system becomes more rapid than re-
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less eifectually than in youth, the cir
culation is poor the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil, is the ideal
stTengthener and body-builder for old
folks, for it contains the very eIe-
ments needed to rebuild wasting It's
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifies the sys-
TEN against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
A grandneice of Alexander Hamil-
ton, over eighty years of age once
remarked: "Vinol is a godsend to old
people. Thanks to Vinol, have a.
hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel
active and well. 1t is the finest tonic
and strength-creator l have ever
used"
If Vinol fails to build I'D the
feeble old people, and create

MYSTERIES.

Some find work where some find rest
And so the weary world goes on;
| sometimes wonder which is best;
The answer comes when life i!
gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake
And so the dreary night hours go
Some hearts beat where some heart.
break;
often wonder why It's so.
Some wills faint where some Wills
fight,
Some love the tent, and some the
field;
| often wonder who are right
The ones who strive, or those whc
yield?
Some hands fold where other hand:
Are lifted bravely in the strife
And so through ages and through
lands
Move on the two extremes Of life
Some feet halt where some feet tread
In treless march, thorny way;
Some struggle on where some have
fed;
Some seek when others shun the
fray.
Some swords rust where others clash,
Some fall back where some move
on,
Some flags furl where others flash
Until the battle has been won.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils of the true and brave;
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their name above a grave.
