SKIN ABL.AZE:
Constant Itching Almost
Unbearable.

Only those afflicted with &c
zema, with its terrifying irritation
and ceaseless itching know what
constant torture this disease can
cause. The disease appears in DIFF
ferent ways, sometimes with a red
dening and irritation Of the skin,
sometimes in the form Of blisters
Other cases of Eczema take the
form Of a dry, scaly condition Of
the skin that cracks and peels. But
no matter in what form the dis
ease appears, II IS a source Of cons
tant fiery irritation that is well
nigh unbearable
Eczema is very often considered
skin disease. This is a natural
mistake, as it attacks the skin and
it Is through the skin that it causes
SO much discomfort and suffering
But the real seat Of the disease IS
the blood. The germs of Eczema
are in the blood, and the irritated
and diseased condition of the skin
is the result of the germs trying to
break out Of the system. Beyond
the use of antiseptics to promote
cleanliness. there is no local treat
ment that will accomplish a perma-
nent cure of this disease. And
those who have been relying alto
gether upon salves, soaps, ONT
ments and other local applications
to the skin will find that no perm
anent good will come from such
treatment by itself.
Read how Basil M. Lanneau.
who resides on Confederate Ave
nue.. in Atlanta. Ga. found relief
from this terrifying disease, after
all local treatment had failed. He

In Effect on Various South

Atlanta, March 17.-Announce-

had been put in effect in anticipa-
zion of the threatened nationwide
railway strike, brought statements
from grocers that food supplies in

to a month, at least in the larger
cities of this section.
Embargoes announced were limit

Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
and Louisville and Nashville and
others generally refusing dead"
freight which could not reach its
destination by Saturday morning on
lines Of the road to which it was
offered Live stock and perishable
freight generally was refused. The
Atlantic Coast Line and the Central
Of Georgia had not announced any
embargo up to Saturday.
Railroads generally were making
preparations to continue operations
as much as possible should the strike

Nashville made a special offer Of in
suranee and other advantages to
hose of its employees who refused to
obey the brotherhoods' orders.
The food question which might be-
come serious was the subject Of in
gestigation in many southeastern
cities from which reports had been
received Memphis wholesalers said
he supply Of staples there would
asst two months. In Atlanta also ii
vas estimated the supply would last
sixty days.
Managers of two firms operating

statements admonishing housewives
not to attempt to lay in supplies be-
cause of the threatened railroad

iary drain on the supply on hand

CIVIC LEAGUE WILL START
CAMPAIGN TO SAVE PAPER
SCHOOL AUTHORITIES AGREE
TO GIVE THEIR CO-OPERA-

Preparatory to the annual clean
up, which it has set this year for
April, the Civic League is planning
campaign to save paper Such a
campaign is being carried on in many
cities, at the suggestion OF the
American Newspaper Publishers AS
sociation in an effort to relieve in
part the paper shortage.
The school authorities have agreed
to cooperate with the Civic League
in this matter, and half the proceeds
gained through the school children
will go to the respective schools.
Next Thursday, March %, has been
set for paper collection day at Frank
lin Academy. Professor Frierson
will put the details before the chill.
dren, and a committee from the
league will be on the ground to take
charge of all paper brought. The
following week the same plan will bt
carried out at Barrow Memorial
There will probably be collection
day every two weeks from now unit
the close of the school term.
While each child's saving of paper
would be small, by assembling tn
savings of several hundred children
in each school, it is believed that
neat sum will be realized.
If there happens to be no children
in your family, notify the committee
and it will send for your collection
Ransack your attics and give to thi
worthy cause the collection OF year
in old books, newspapers and mag
iazines.
The committee in charge of thi
work is Mrs. G. r. Newman, chair
man, Mrs. W. v. Frierson, Mrs. Al

DR.. Barker Lectures.

DR.. Barker, well known advocate
of "medicineless medicine" lectured
to a large and interested audience in
the college chapel Wednesday night.
Quoting Garfield, he gave three
essentials necessary to get the most
out Of life, namely, strong arm, a
clear mind and brave heart. He
showed that strong arm means a
healthy body as whole; a clear
brain the power of rapid and clear
thinking, and brave heart is the
courage to do what we know is
right regardless Of the opinions Of
others.
DR.. Barker said that in order te
have strong, healthy body we mus
have white corpuscles, and to have
white corpuscles we must take plen
ty of exercise, and not eat too mucf
nor too rapidly.
In closing he gave five rules which
he guaranteed US, if we kept strict
ly, would make us happy people
These are the laws:
1. Cultivate the habit of AWAY
looking on the bright side. Smile
2. Accept cheerfully your plac
in life.
8. Throw your whole soul an
spirit into your work.
4. Get into the habit of doing Ii.
tie bits Of kindnesses and courtesie
! to every person with whom you com
in contact.
S. Adopt and maintain a child

here a plant which will, BY bleach
ing process, prepare cotton to be
manufactured into smokeless powder

commercial products.
The local plant is to be branch

is now engaged in looking for a suit

in East Columbus admirably adapt
ed to the purpose in view, and they
have already been inspected by Mr.
Cole. He will not close contract
however, until the buildings have
been inspected by Mr.. Arthur D. Lit.
tie, the consulting engineer of the
company. Mr.. Little is expected to
reach the city within the next few
days, and a contract for a building
will probably be closed soon after his
arrival.
This city already has a plant de.

cotton, this plant having been estab.
lished last fall. and having been sue.
cessful from the start. Columbus is
