Constant Itching Al
most :UnbearabIe

Only those afflicted with &C.
zema, with its terrifying irrita-
ton and ceaseless itching know
what constant torture this dis
ease can cause. The disease ap-
pears in different ways, some
times with a reddening and irri-
tation 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, it is a source Of
constant fiery irritation that is
well-nigh, unbearable.
Eczema is very often consid-
cred a skin disease. This is a
natural mistake, as it attacks
the skin and it is through the
skin that it causes so much dis
comfort and suffering. But the
real seat of the disease Is the
blood. The germs of Eczema
are in the blood, and the irri-
tated 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 cleanli-
ness. there is no local treat
ment that will accomplish a
permanent cure of this disease.
And those who have been rely
ing altogether upon salves,
soaps, ointments and other
local applications to the skin
will find that no permanent
good will come from such
treatment by itself.
Read how Basil M. Lanneau,
who resides on Confederate
Avenue, in Atlanta, Ca, found
relief from this terrifying dis
ease, after all local treatment
had failed. He writes:

ROURKE TWIRLERS
LIMBER UP MUSCLES
If Good Weather Continues
u Four Slabsters Will Soon
Be Ready to Go.
CURRIE LOOKS LIKE GOODS

If the we'll known weather man
who is so generously and graciously
providing this Florida weather keeps
up the good work the rest of the
week Pa Rourke's hurting corps will
be in condition to throw in the high
gear and put on full speed ahead by
the time the rest Of Pas athletes ar
rive on the scene Of action.
Four Rourke hurlers are in camp
and fifth is speeding toward Omaha
and should arrive here today, unless
Mr.. Calvin's railroad gets mixed up
with another snow blockade. The
slab artists already at work are Otto
Merz, Cecil Thompson, Murphy Cur
ne and young Wyman. Wayne Bar
ham is due to arrive today.
This Currie person, who made his
first appearance in uniform yester-
day, looks like he would be a pretty
good pitcher, and Rourke expects
him to be big success in the West
ern. OF course, Currie merely tossed
a few yesterday. He didn't even try
to put any speed on the ball. But he
has a graceful motion that would in
dictate he knows his business, and al
though only youngster Fl years old
seems to have a base ball head.
Enthuses Over Tony.
Pa Rourke is quite enthusiastic
over Tony Brottem. Tony has all
the earmarks of a nifty ball player.
Pa also has received mighty fattering
reports of Tony's ability. Some Of
the St. Louis experts are still won
dering why the Cardinals let Tony
come to Omaha even though the
Cards have two Of the best catchers
in the business, Snyder and Gonzales.
Shag Thompson joined his mates
yesterday. Shag is tickled to get
back to Omaha and declares he in
tends to have the most sensational
season of his career. Rourke be-
lieves Shag is just starting to deliver
and will this year conclusively prove
his major league ability.
Joe Burg and Harold Irelan also
were working out yesterday, making
the total number of Rourkes already
on the job eight. b.. 81

GENERAL PROTEST
AGAINST MAIL CUT
Postmaster From Nebraska
Town Tells How His Town
Is Affected.
FURTHER OUT Is PLANNED


Lincoln, Neb., March 2l.-(Spe-
eial)-That the postal service OF the
country is rapidly developing de-
plorable condition is being shown
every day. Publication of the condi-
tons, which exist and are likely to
continue, in The Bee is opening the
eyes of the public.
Without any notice to the public a
mail car on No. II, running from
Lincoln to Omaha over the Burling,
ton, was taken off week ago. By
taking off this car the capital city OF
the state has no mail car into Omaha,
the metropolis, after / AS in the after
noon.
Today a postmaster from out in
the state stated to friends in the
statehouse that taking off of mail
cars on his line of road had had the
effect Of delaying delivery along lines
running out of his town from five to
six days. He refused to give his
name and requested that the town
even from whence he came should
not be mentioned, for the reason that
it would injure him with the depart
ment, but he is a we'll known citi-
zen, and what he said may be taken
as covering the situation.
1t is said that all mail cars on lines
called "one-man lines" are to be taken
off as soon as possible and this is
having the effect of demoralizing
business just at a time when, as stat
ed in the resolutions passed by the
house yesterday, the best Of mail
service should be had.

SENATORS CALL FOR
HOWARD SAND BILL
Measure Gives State Royalty
on Product From River
Beds.
BOUND TO CREATE FIGHT


Lincoln, March 2l.-(Special) y
Lieutenant Governor Edgar Howard
Howard asserted his prerogative as
president of the senate today and
peremptorily ordered out from the
miscellaneous subjects committee
Senator Howell's famous sand bill,
S. F. 10.
In so doing, at the request from
the floor OF the author of the bill,
he invoked the senate rule which al
lows bill to be demanded from a
committee after it has been in that
committees hand four days.
Senator Bennett of Douglas, chair
man of the committee, explained
that he favored the reporting of the
bill for general file, but that the ma
jority of the committee were opposed
to it.
He asked the senate for an extern
sion of time until 2 o'clock this after
noon, to get the committee together
again. 1t was granted. The COM

general file or for ,postponement.
Senator Gates, a member of the
committee, declared himself opposed
to the measure. He did not 60 into
its merits or dement's. Senator's Will
lis and Wallace Wilson, Sawyer,
Mates and Albert are the other com
mittee members.
The bill requires that firms getting
sand, gravel or oil from creek or
river beds pay the state board of
irrigation royalty of cents a ton
for sand, 10 cents for gravel and IS
cents barrel for oil.
Opponents of the measure say it
is calculated to impose a hardship
on certain firms competing with 9TH
ers who do not get sand from river
beds. Senator Jack Grace, at the last
session, denounced the measure as
pernicious. 1t has failed of passage
in two previous sessions.

SKIN AbLAzE
WITH ECZEMA

81 suffered with q most aggravated
Gaze Of Eczema. the itching being so

thirteen pounds Of ointment. tried nearly
ed by two skin specialists. ] am now
convinced that Eczema Is nothing but
blood trouble, for after taking several
bottles of s. S. s. am entirely cured
Years Of untold suffering can
be avoided if the real cause OF
a disease can be definitely de-
termined, and the proper
method of treatment employed.
Hence, those afflicted with
Eczema will continue to suffer
as long as they consider the
disease a condition of the skin,
and rely solely upon local ap-
plications Of salves, ointments
and similar remedies. If you
really want to be cured YOU
must realize that the disease
is in the blood, and you can ex-
pect relief only from treatment
that is directed toward cleans
ing the blood of the disease
germs. This is why S. S. s. is
so successful in the treatment
of Eczema and all other dis
eases of the blood; because it
acts as an antidote to any inn
purity that finds Judgment in
the blood. Being purely vege-
table and guaranteed not to
contain a particle of mineral
substance, it is an exceptionally
fine tonic, and besides eliminat-
ing from the blood all traces of
impurity, it builds up and
strengthens the entire system
at the same time.
We invite everyone afflicted
with Eczema, or other blood or
skin disease, to write our medi.
cal department for advice,
which is gladly given without
charge. Full instructions as to
how to treat your own indivii-
ual case will be gladly furnish
