POSLAM FAMED
FOR ITS EFFECT
ON ECZEMA

To spread Poslam over an angry,
itching eczema surface, makes one feel
that here in reality is a healing in
ffuence which the affected skin de-
mands. Every eczema sufferer should
know how readily Poslam is able to re-
lieVe the suffering incidental to this
annoying ailment of the skin. Poslam
allays itching. and soothes quickly.
Treatment is oftentimes very short,
an Improvement may be noticed every
day. Poslam is harmless. Use it with
confidence for pimples, rashes and
similar eruptional disorders.

medicated with Poslam, is the soap you
should use daily for toilet and bath.

For Protective Tariff

For Protective Tariff
How long these conditions will con-
tinue no one can tell, but we are sure
that the uncertain conditions affecting
supply and values will continue so
long as the war continues. L am sure
we are all concerned as to what will
happen after the war. While it is not
my intention to make a speech on the
tariff, I can not refer to this subject
without referring to the tariff, and L
might as we'll say to you frankly that 1
am thorough believer in protective
tariff.
'If 7 were to write a tariff law, L
would write q tariff that would equal
ize the cost of production between
home and abroad on every article of
manufacture, to the end that the pres
ent scale of wages paid in the country
could be maintained. Our wage-earn-
ers in America are maintaining a high
er standard of living than in any other
country on the face of the earth. They
are better housed, better clothed, bet
ter fed and are paid better wages than
anywhere else. They enjoy more COM
forts, their children attend better
schools and are better educated, and
have better opportunities for success
than in any other country.
Urges Tariff Commission
To write this tariff | would want
the services of experts to be known as
a tariff board or commission, whose
duties 1t would be to ascertain from
impartial sources, correct information
as to cost of production. / would want
this board to furnish correct facts and
figures so that the tariff law to be
written on the statute books would be
high enough and not unnecessarily
high. With this information at our
command, the writing of the law itself
would be an easy matter; without this
information 1t is largely guesswork.
Were 1t our good fortune to have such
a law on our statute books to-day,
there would be no need of much con-
Germ as to what would happen after
the war. We would be assured at
least of our own market-the best on
earth.
Il see considerable comment in the
papers in regard to tariff board, and
it seems there is some confusion in the
minds of some. A tariff board could
not write and adopt tariff law. All
laws producing revenues for the gov
ernment must originate in the House
of Representatives in Washington, and
must be passed by that body and then
by the Senate and signed by the Pres
ident What the tariff board could do,
would be to secure and supply data,
information, N compact and intelIi-
gent form, so it would be of use to
Congress"
ReCirocity Provision
Speaking on the tariff Mr.. Kreider
said in his proposed law he would en-
body reciprocity provision so as to en-
able this country to enter in reciprocal

were really five bases, for the home
base and the batter's base were not
coincident. The ball was made of
any soft and elastic material, such as
wound yard a surgeons nose, and
later, hollow rubber. The pitcher
known as the 'thrower" or "giver''-
stood midway of the polygon. The
catcher stood up close behind the bat,
but he had scout to assist him,
since this game, like cricket, made
no distinction between fair and foul
balls-anything Off the bat was hit.
There were no basemen, for runner
off base was put out--just as in round
ers-by being hit with the ball. Five
scouts assisted in fielding balls and
soaking" the runner Hence the soft
ball. A ball caught off the bat or on
first bound was out. Even after real
baseball came this game had long sur
vived.
Then afterward there came an evo-
luton of baseball in New York. One
o-cat, two-o-cat and three-ocat were
the most popular kinds of baseball in
dulged in by the New York boys I'M
til 1910, when one-o-cat became the
fad. One summer afternoon in 1912,
as the boys were playing around the
famous Murray Hill grounds in New
York city, Alex j. Cartwright hap
pened along and told the youngsters
he had a better game than the one-o-
cat affair. The boys were willing to
find out what the new contest was and
at once proceeded to ask Mr.. Cart
wright about it.
Mr.. Cartwright scratched off the
diamond in the Murray Hill dust with
stick and the boys watched with
open eyes and listened with open ears
as he laid off the diamond, using
stones for the bases and home plate.
He set player at each base and three
scouts, as they were called then, in
the outfield. So with eight players on
side, no shortstop, the New York
lads played their first real game of
baseball.
1t was a matter of ten years after
ward before "Dicky" Pearce made the
position of shortstop a regular place
on ball team, Pearce's ability to get
infield grounders and his throwing
arm giving him the honor. The yarn
ball then gave way to heavier anu

The crisp days of autumn spur
women up to the consideration of their
needs, or desires, in furs, and the fur
riers' shop is soon caught in its an
nual whirlwind of business. In order
to anticipate the rush, the stores and
shops show advance models in August
and advertise special values. A good
many sales are made then, but not
enough to relieve the pressure later.
But styles become established, at any
rate, and certain furs become leaders,
quite often making a quick advance in
price.
For the present season all furs are
fashionable. Skunk or martin stands
close to the head, with mink in the
same class. Opossum fur, especially
as a trimming, has sprung into sud-
den vogue; fox of every variety is
selling freely and good Hudson seal
brings a higher price than ever
Martin and mink are among the
hard" furs. That is, they will wear
longer than many others, and they
bring a higher price than the less
durable, or soft" furs. But this is not
an invariable rule, for certain rare
species of fox fur bring fabulous
prices.

country's Salt Consumption.

Most persons, If asked which we use
the more of, salt or sugar, would prob
ably say sugar, but the staticians at
Washington figure that the per capita
consumption Of salt in the United
States last year was almost exactly
100 pounds, and of sugar 1914. The
statement is, however, somewhat mis-
leading. No person could eat two
pounds of salt week and expect to
live. Much that is set down to the
per capita consumption is really used

are exported, aid in making pickles
