Fiery Eczema and Skin Eruptions
Readily Yield to This Old Remed

Successfully used for fifty years.
Eczema and similar skin troubles
come from disordered, impure con-
dition of the blood, and they can
only be cured by giving the blood a
thorough cleansing, and removing
from it all traces of impurity.
This is why S. S. S. has been used
SO successfully in hundreds of cases
of Eczema and other skin eruptions.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1917-07-26

This wonderful remedy is without an
equa as a blood purifier, being prob
ably the oldest blood medicine on the
market. 1t has been sold by drug
gists for fifty years.
You are invited to write today for
complete and full advice as to the
treatment of your own case. Address,

REPORT
 ISSUED BY NEW HAVEN

New York, April 30.1Total operat- ing revenues of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Co., for 1916, according to the annual report issued recently, amounted to $50, 432,- 167, an increase of $1O, ,325,5S1 or 147s per cent, with total railway operat- ing expenses of s54 ,372. .029, an increase of $8, ,999, ,813,. or 1884 per cent, leaving net revenues from operations of $26- O60, ,13S, a gain of $1, 1,325708
 The report is supplemental to the 1915-16 fiscal statement, the change to the calendar year being made to con- form with the ruling of the interstate commerce commission.
 Deductions from gross income in> creased $1,813,205, or 7.89 per cent, due entirely to hire of equipment which increased g, ,163, ,360, or 182.85 per cent, because of congestion of freight em. bargoes and lack of facilities by ship. pers and the road.
 In a statement to stockholders Chairman Howard Elliott points out that further losses to the company will result in the sale of properties which are to be disposed of under federal decree, No attempt was made to carry these losses into the 1916 ball. ance sheet, as the amount is undeter- mined and also because losses will be offset, in part, iby profits in properties which have increased in value.

NEW BRITAIN CUTLERY
 FIRM IS FURNISHING
 FARM LAND FOR FILLING

Landers, Frary & Clark of New Britain, the big cutlery and hardware concern which employs hundreds of men, has taken up home gardeningy work with a great degree of enthu- siasm. Notices have been issued to employees telling of the company's plan to furnish 25 acres of land, fer tilted, plowed and made ready for planting, together with the seed, all without charge. The work of caring for the land will be taken care of by those of the employees who wish to share in its benefits and will be in charge of the committee of the com- pany's Mutual Aid society.
 In addition the company will fur nish seed potatoes and fertilizers at cost to those of it's employees who have, their own gardens. President c. F. Smith has estimated that the cost to the company for blowing, harrow ing, fertilizing and furnishing seed for the 25 acres of land will be be- tween $2,000 and $3,000. "But.n says MT. Smith, in his letter to the Connecticut Committee of Food sup- ply, I've think the money is well spent.''

Of particular interest at this time is the Battle of Fontenoy which was founght on April 30. 1745, in Belgium between the British and the Hanova- rians under the Duke of Cumberland on the one side and the French. under the Count de Saxe on the other. The French were the victors in that bat tie, defeating the allied British and Hanovarians with great loss. In the year 1840 on the 30th' of April there died in Caen, France, one of the most romantic characters in British his- tory, namely George Brunmell. better known as Beau Brummell. He was the associate of George W, when the latter was Prince of Wales and was for long time the head of fashion and manners in England. He passed the latter part of his life in poverty and obscurity and toward, the close of 1t was confined in a madhouse.

sealed orders from the Czar. What these orders were may never be known, but it was generally under stood at the time that they meant that Russia was the ally of the United States. Oliver Wendell Holmes com menhorated the event in a poem sen- titled "Who Was Our Friend When the World Was Our Foe?"
 In 1877 Alexander II. declared war on Turkey in behalf of the southern Slavic races, thus enabling Bulgaria. Serbia, Roumania and Montenegro to declare and maintain their independ- ence. A liberal ana humane mon arch, the liberator of the surfs and of the Balkan states, he became in his later years rather reactionary, and waged ruthless war against the ni- hilists. Several unsuccessful attempts were made on his life, but in 1881 his enemies were triumphant. g bomb thrown at him while he was riding in a. sleigh inflicting fatal wounds.
