which ran through from Chicago.
Philadelphia is we'll represented. Geo.
Wentworth Carr will present the re-

Credit Men at Thursdays session.
During the past year efforts have
been made to obtain the passage of
laws redefning the practice of law so
as to exclude and therefore put out of
business collection agencies and law
list publishers" President Earle w.
Evans, of Kansas, announced in his
address last night. in leading up to a
vigorous declaration on the subject of
bankruptcy practice. "It has been the
rolicy of the administration to COM

Modern Science Finds anew Method
Eczema
All Skin Diseases Yield


The nerves of your body are like
electric wires. They carry the nerve
energy (neuro-electricity) which is
generated in the brain, to all the
cells and tissues. The nerve sheaths
are insulated to resist current of
about 4/1000 of a volt as has been
proven with the aid of Lord Kelvin's
galvanometer, an instrument so sem
sitive and accurate that for the first
time it is now possible to measure
the strength of nerve currents.
1t has been found that wherever
acute inflammation occurs the in
sulation of the nerves is broken
down. making it difficult, and often
impossible, for nature to heal the
surrounding cells. Germs cannot
live in healthy tissue; it is only
through damaged cells that they
thrive and spread. Obviously there

quickly repair the damaged insula-
ion and enable nature to reg ,ore the

Ion-o-lex Unguent is not a drug.

CHAMITA

Chamita was old when the Dutch
bought Manhattan island from the
Indians for the price of a four-cY'.s2.
der runabout. So Chamita can in a
way look down on New York; but it
must be admitted that while Manhat-
tan got a later start she has been
making the better progress for the last
century or two.
At the time the Dutch were clos
ing their famous real estate deal,
Chamita was a little mud Indian vii
lase on the Rio Grande, whose peo-
pie titled their corn and cut their hay
in constant fear of the warlike
Apaches. To-day the Apaches are go
ing to school and selling moccasins to
tourists; Chamita has a postoffice and
church and store; but the little
mud pueblo is just what it was in
those other times, and the simple,
peaceable people are just as amiable
as in the days when the Apaches chas-
ed them.
You come to Chamita on a little red
railroad that clacks over it's narrow
gauge track at all of ten miles an
hour. The Rio Grande rolls sluggish
ly along beside you, its winding SER
pent trail green behind it and before
It, for miles in either direction, like a
green snake stretched across the
tawny desert. It is a pleasant belt Of
peach and apple orchards, of wheat

leaves are the most exquisite green of
any plant that grows.

ROAD 100 PER CENT. PERFECT

Philadelphia, July 25. - It is sur
prising that the people of the eastern
part of the United States do not ap-
preciate the beauties and advantages
Of their own section. In a recent in
spection trip over the Lincoln High
way from New York to Pittsburgh in
the official Lincoln Highway Stutz,
made by officers of the Lincoln High
way Association, including A. F.
Bement, secretary; H. c. Ostermann,
field secretary, and G. NJ. Reiling,
Lancaster county counsel for the asso-
citation, 1t was brought out that the
Lincoln Highways eastern section, at
least that part from Trenton, n. j..
for 400 miles to Pittsburgh, Pa, is
virtually 100 per cent perfect, and is
as efficient a road as can possibly be
laid out between the two points.

| little null affair shocked at the top
dress Winifred, and Helen often felt
for mothers who had to fuss with
unruly hair and bony little legs.
Winifred was so beautifully formed
and her hair curled distractingly
about her temples. When she was
young they had thought that she
would be dark like Warren, but her
hair was a dark molasses color now,
with surprising reddish tints in it,
and it was Helen's constant fear that
the child might lose the fascinating
color of 1t before she grew old
enough to appreciate it.
The party was great success. The
children brought small gifts, though
Helen had carefully explained that
it was not a birthday party. The
table looked attractive and the ice
cream in the form of cats and dogs
and chickens was hailed with delight
Each child received favor of some
kind, and there were two games in
which prizes figured.
Helen, who had never given a
child's party and but family recol-
lected having attended any herself,
was told by her own small daughter
that the games with prizes were the
most popular of all.
Helen and Louise worked with a
vengeance, and with Mary's help
served the twelve children and en-
tered into their games with wild en-
thusiasm. Louise was enjoying it to
her hearts content, and Helen's hair
had pulled loose about her face and
her cheeks were family flushed with
the excitement of playing Going to
Jerusalem when Ned Burns ar
rived.
Ned Burns Arrives
''Is the party all over?" he said
gaily, coming into the gay crowd
and waving bouquet of flowers over
his head. He had several mysterious
packages under his arm, and the chill
dren swarmed around him.
Winifred liked the flowers, but was
not enthusiastic.
Suppose you give them to your
mother, then," Ned had suggested,
and Winifred, obeying, had brought
them to Helen and laid them in her
lap. They were not flowers that one
might select for child-long stem
med red roses-and Helen raised her
eyes to meet a sudden strange fleet
ing expression in Ned's face before
he turned it away. 1t made her
vaguely uncomfortable.
"And 1 have some more presents"
he said, beginning to unwrap another
small bundle.
This is present for my little
wife-to-be." Winifred laughed glee-
fully. Ned always said that he was
going to wait for her, and she enjoyed
it hugely. In the little package were
two little boxes with two little rings
"a tiny little chip diamond and a
very tiny ring of plain gold.
To seal our bargain" Ned said
gravely, with mock homage, slipping
the two rings on Winifreds small
finger. Now, you see, you can't get
away from me-"
Ned, you idiot" Louise said re-
monstratingly, you're too extrava-
CANT; you'll turn the child's head"
"And here's another present." Ned
went on, unwrapping two gorgeously
colored pencils. Winifred seized
them with a whoop of delight, and
the party went on, with the fun wax
ing fast and furious.
Afterward, when Winifred proudly
displayed her rings to her father, she
said confidingly: And he gave me
two pencils, and don't you tell, but
like them best"
Warren turned to Helen laugh
ingly. The day might come when
Winifred would not be so easily
pleased.

A Factor for World Peace.

In 1898 Italy organized Cosmo-
politan Club among the foreign stu
dents in it's universities, later join
ing forces with the universities of
Europe, Ten years ago clubs of
students of different races were
started at Cornell and the University
Of Wisconsin. Now these European
and American organizations have
united and have met in the United
States as an International Congress
of Students. Local Societies of
these Cosmopolitan Clubs have been
formed in twenty-six American uni
versities. At one club meeting
thirteen different national songs
were sung in their original tongue.
Each member of the chorus learned
the tune of twelve national airs be-
sides his own and memorized the
words of all of them, Russian
Chinese, Hawaiian, Japanese and
those of Western European nations.
1t was an impressive spectacle when
these thirteen students marched out
on the platform each dressed in his
native costume, the Mexican with
his sombrero, the Chinese in his silk
robe, the Hollander with his wooden
shoes and wide trousers and the
Scotchman with his kits. "Rule
Britannia" Hawii ponoi, "Mexicanos
al grito," "Wacht am Rhein," and
eight other national songs succeeded
each other, ending with America. I"

With the Finance and Ways and
Means Committees of the Legiela
ture sitting tight on bills to let
money out of the State Treasury
and Governor Harrington ready to
veto appropriations that the State
cannot afford to meet, there is no
let.up in the demands that are be.
ing made, especially by the county
people. Every day brings some
delegation for this or-Ihat approprr
alton, and the fact that the treasury
is face to face with deficit of 50,
100000 seems to have not one bit
of effect on the demands.
So far few bills appropriating
money have come out of COMMITTEES.
Some have left the Finance Com
mittee, but Chairman Bryant, OF
the Ways and Means, is sitting
tight, despite the pressure that is
being put on him to get this or
that meritorious measure through
for some special cause or interest.
Just how long he will be able to
hold the lid down is question.
Meanwhile, the administration and
various members or the Legislature
are working toward abolishing USE
less Offices and consolidating over
tapping ones, and it is probable
that within a few days number
of measures to do so will be before
the two branches.
With the liquor question dis.
posed of, the Baltimore annexation
bills will provoke the next biggest
fight of the session. The politi-
clans and the legislators are won
dering what is going to happen
when they are taken up.
What finally will become of the
Goodnow economy budget bill no
one knows and few seem to care, as
the session is wearing away with
little real legislation yet accom-
plished and the wheels clogged
with bills.
