PUT SULPHUR ON
AN ITCHING SKIN
and END ECZEMA

ANY irritation or breaking out on the
face. arms. legs or body when accom-
panied by itching, or when the skin
Is dry and feverish, can be readily
overcome by applying a little bold
sulphur, says noted derma-
tologist
! He states that bold sulphur instant
ly allays the angry itching and irrita-
'tion and soothes and heals the Ecze-
ma right up leaving the skin clear and
smooth. Bold-sulphur has occupied a
secure position for many years in the
treatment Of cutaneCus disorders be-
cause of it's site-destroying prop
erty. Nothing has ever been found to
take it's place in treating the irritable
and infiammatory skin affections.
While not always establishing a per-
manent cure it never fails to subdue
the itching irritation and drive the
Eczema away and it is often years
later before any eruption again ap-
pears on the skin.
Those troubled should obtain at any
pharmacy an ounce of bold-sulphur
| which is applied to the affected
parts in the same manner as an ordi-
mary cold cream.-Adv.

THE TRUTH
ABOUT CATARRH
A Germ Disease That Can Be Stopped
BY Killing Germs Which Cause Il.

A good many claims are made for this
and tnat remedy for CatarTh and doubt
less, IL You are sufferer from this dis
ease, you have yourself tried many Of
them and received no permanent benefit
The fact remains, however that there
is way to get rid of catarrh forever
and certainly the method most likely to
succeed and to cure where all else has
failed is one that your own druggist has
so much faith in that he will sell it to
you on positive guarantee of success or
money back.
That's exactly the way that Bowditch-
Webster Co. Augusta, and many other
leading druggists in this vicinity are
selling HyOmei, the great Catarrh germ
killer, wonderful indicated but pleas
ant smelling air which you breathe into
your nose, throat and lungs through a
small inhaling device that druggists fur
nish with it. Hyomei is made from the
pure healing oil Of Eucalyptus, combined
with other powerful germicidal ingre-
dents and 1t not only clears up the head
and air passages and heals the sore,
swollen infiamed membranes of your nose
and throat but it goes farther and does
more: Its penetrating air is absolute and
positive death to every catarrh germ in
your system. 1t destroys them Utterly.
And when the germs go the disease and
all its disagreeable symptoms stop. II

the only sensible thing to do and you
gain nothing and lose much by waiting.

Thursday morning was Amos Ross,
stone mason for the Maine Central
Railroad, who has charge Of the work
which the company is now doing on
the overhead bridge at Halloween.
During a chat while awaiting the ar
rival Of train 81 Mr. Ross recalled the
fact that it was % years ago Wednes-
day, Jan s. 1886, that the old railroad
bridge at Augusta was carried away
by big ice fresEet. The bridge was
in process of erection at that time and
while the TRACK had been laid the false
work used In building the bridge was
still in position. AS it was feared
that the freshet would carry the
bridge away fiat cars loaded with
stone were run out on to the bridge
in hopes that the extra weight would
hold t down, but the crush OF ice
carried away the falsework and the
bridge went Gown, some OF the tim
bers of the falsework being carried
clear to Richmond. Mr.. Ross believes
that he is the only ..an now in the
employ Of the Maine Central who
worked on the bridge at the time that
it was carried away.

DIDN'T WANT THE CURRENCY

Speaking of boarding gold," re-

pany, according to the Wall Street
Journal, there is list that will per-
haps interest you. There are several
thousand checks still outstanding
against my company which have been
issued at various dates since 1891 in
payment for oil we have bought from
little oil producers. These checks have
not been cashed, and apparently the
holders are in no hurry to cash them.
Once we tried to get in touch with
some Of these old fellows so that we
could clean up the very ancient checks,
the object being, of course, to reduce
the amount of bookkeeping necessary
to keep our balance straight. We had
got tired of holding that cash against
these checks. Do you think the old
fellows would give up? Not much
They said that they had been selling
oil to us for many, many years and
would as soon have our checks as
Uncle Sans money; that they did not
need the cash, and that they guessed
we would be good for it when they did.
So they are still holding them. OF
course, every corporation has it's trou-
BILE in these lines, but we believe we
hold the record"

One View of Ibsen,

Ibsen appears in new light in one
of the letters Of Madame de Heger.
mann-Lindencrone that appeared re.
Gently in Harper's Magazine. She first
met him at a supper given by the
king of Sweden, and, as appears, was
not favorably impressed by the ia.
nous dramatist.
The celebrated Ibsen honored this
feast with his presence" she says,
"and especially honored the Chianti
and Genzano wines, which were served
copiously. When you see Ibsen, with
his lion face and tangled hair, for the
first time, you are fascinated by him,
knowing what genius he Is; but
when you talk with, him, and feel his
critical, piercing eyes looking at you
from under his bushy brows, and see
his cruel, satirical smile, you are a
little prejudiced against him. When
we met him often at our friend Ross
studio at afternoon teas, where there
is always little music, Ibsen sat sui
len, silent and Indifferent. He does
not like music, and does not disguise
his dislike. This is not, as you may
imagine, inspiring to the performers.
In fact, just to look at him takes all
the life out Of you. He is a veritable
wet blanket"

RATTLEsNAKE is AUTO-PRooF
Reptile Continued in Fight MOOD
After Being Repeatedly
Run Over

William Burguson Of the Charleston
Motor Sales company, while driving
through North Charleston in an auto
mobile, effected the capture of large
rattlesnake, which he brought to
Charleston. S. c., alive. The reptile
is between five and six feet in length,
with six rattles and button, and is
Of the deadly diamond back variety.
The capture was made by the skill
full use Of lasso which was hastily
made from ball of twine. When
first sighted the snake was vigorously
disputing the right of way with Mr.,
Burguson's automobile, and it was the
buzzing Of the snakes rattles which
first attracted his attention. The rat
tier was stretched across the road,
and Mr.. Burguson, intending to kill it,
drove the car directly over it's body.
The snake coiled, and made several
vicious strikes at the auto, apparently
none the worse for having had it's
body passed over by several hundred
weight. The driver backed the car,
and again ran over the reptile, but
with no apparent effect, except to put
the rattler in worse humor, for the
latter repeatedly struck at the wheels
Of the car Mr.. Burguson Their alight-
ed and attacked the husky specimen
with large stick, and the snake re-
treated to the bushes on the side of
the road. After an exciting chase the
reptile was finally stunned and las
seed. Mr. Burguson brought it to the
city in a box. 1t is the intention of
Mr.. Burguson to give the snake to
Professor Rea Of the museum, alive,
as the reptile seemed to recover COM
pletely from its rough handling with
in few hours after it's capture, and
showed fight every time any one took
a peep at it in Its temporary prison.

Barbed Wire in War

Of all modern inventions that help
the soldier barbed wire may be said
to be one Of the most useful and no
army will ever again take the field
without wagonloads of it. No position
will ever be intrenched unless the
foreground bristles with barbed-
wire entanglements, and even out
posts in camp, when on the line Of
march, will never let the sun set with
out first surrounding the post with a
few strands of wire. The wire is al
most invisible in daylight, and at night
1t is impossible to know where to ex-
pect it. A few old tin cans hung on
the wire answer the purpose Of an
alarm, warning the defenders of the
presence of an enemy; and once a SOL
der has the misfortune to step, even
with one foot, in a barbed wire en-
tanglement, his fate, is certain.-From
Wonder Book of Soldiers.
