ITCHY SALT RHEUM
Sometimes Called Eczema--Removed
by Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Salt rheum is one of the worst
and unfortunately one of the most
common of all diseases. How it
reddens the skin, itches, oozes, dries
and scales, and then does this all
over againl Sometimes it covers
the whole body with inhamed,
burning patches and causes intense
suffering.
Salt rheum comes from humors
in the blood. This is why local APP
plications do so little good. 1t will
continue to exist, annoy, pain and
perhaps agonize, until these humors
have been removed.
Ask your druggist for Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1t goes to the source
of the trouble. 1t cleanses the
blood Of the humors that cause salt
rheum. 1t has given perfect salts
faction in thousands Of cases. Get

tice to his congregation Sunday that

ed to give up the work here 1t was
with difficulty that he was able to

ing and he and Mrs. Casselman
will spend some time visiting with
their children. All of their children
three sons and one daughter
are married, the three sons being
ministers in the Reformed church.
Grace Reformed church loses a

sCHUMANN-HEINK AND MESSIAH
Eighty Persons Went to Lindsborg
from Abilene

Again, Sunday, Lindsborg a town
of 1000 inhabitants, was the mecca
of central Kansas music lovers, when
three thousand gathered there for
a day of music. Hande's Messiah
in it's 34th rendition by the famous
chorus of 500 voices, was greater
and more wonderful than ever, as
pronounced by those who have
heard it before, and Nine. Schu-
-Heink, on her second appear
ance in this small inland country
town, made the day great one.
The famous Schumann-Heink easily
won the hearts of her hearers. AS
an artist she is truly wonderful but
her appeal to a great body of COM
mon people is even more so-no
overbearing stateliness, but just
Schumann-Heink.
Eighty persons went from here,
leaving at noon Sunday and return
ing at 1880 this morning. The bad
roads kept many from going in
their automobiles. Thirty passenger
coaches filled with people and max
ing up special trains went into
Lindsborg yesterday. One Abilene
girl, Miss Elsie Tucker, the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Tucker,
sang in the Messiah chorus.
A Kansas baby, with tow colored
hair and blue rompers, was taken
into partnership by the recitalist
when he grew restless on his moth
er's lap. The baby was part of the
audience that overlooked upon the
stage.
please, I'm very tired and
sleepy and my eyes won't keep
awake" sang Schumann-Heink,
turning to smile at the fretful baby.
At the end she crossed the stage,
caught up the weeping hope of
Kansas" and kissed him until he
smiled.

HoFFMAN-TREsTLE SUIT HALTs
Flood Damage Case in Supreme
Court Next October

The suit of the state against the
Rock Island, the c. Hoffman y
Sons Milling company and the Hoff-
man Elevator company to compel
the building of a trestle and the
removing of a fill $50 feet long at
the end of the railroad bridge across
the Smoky Hill river near Enter
prise, came to an end last week in
the supreme court at Topeka, ac-
cording to a dispatch from that
place. The railroad represented that
the trestle had been built and the
fill removed and the court dismissed
the suit. The action was begun by
John S. Dawson, then attorney gen
eral, three years ago.
The suit brought by number of
farmers near the Hoffman mills to
compel the lowering of the mill dam
across the Smoky Hill and for dam
ages alleged to have been caused
crops from the dam, will be taken
up again by the court next October.
During that term the court will
hear a motion for judgment against
the Hoffmans, despite the report Of

The view generally held here is
that the Dutch government is con-

The Dutch newspaper New Cour-

torial today.
The measures taken by the govern
nlent do not grow out of the Tubantia
sinking nor is there any imminent
danger of war" said the Courant.
The government, however, has re-
ceived information which requires
special consideration, apparently as
the result of the allied economic con-
ference at Paris. Parliament prob
ably will meet in special session on
Tuesday"

legation had no comment to make.
The Dutch army since the beginning
OF the war, has been partially mobo-

case Holland should enter the war on
either side, it is estimated she could
throw nearly 100000 trained troops
into action within few weeks.
