81 had eczema on my face and neck.
The skin at first grew very red and after
a time broke out into a flaming mass of
pimples which caused Disagreement.
The .pimples were in patches all over
my face, itching and burning terribly
especially on very warm days, and when
Iscratched I felt as if the skin were being
punctured with needles. 1 could scarce
ly get any rest at night.
Then l began using Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. They gave almost i'm
mediate relief, and after using box
of Cuticura Ointment and three bars of
Cuticura Soap l was entirely healed"

FISHERMEN ARE
BLOWN TO DEATH BY
GERMAN BARREL MINE

Galway, Ireland, July 9.-Nine Gal
way fishermen were blown to pieces a
few days ago while examining q Ger
man barrel mine" witch they had
found at sea and towed ashore.
Irish isheEmen have made lately q
great many lucky hauls of barrels
containing petrol. tallow. oils N SIM

pedoed ships. This time they saw a
promising looking barrel aioat some
distance from land, with a convenient
handle on each side, and they prompt

beach for examination.
Four men were in the boat, and six
more gathered around while the prize
was on the beach. One man. Joseph

no attention to him, and he hid him
self behind a rock.
One Of the fishermen removed a
couple Of screws from the head Of the
barrel, and then began to pull out a
piece of cord. The explosion which
followed was heard miles away, and
shook houses four miles distant.
After a time O'Flaherty, who had
BEEN wounded in the head with a
piece Of stone, stood up, but not a
trace OF the mine or the men was to

States Attorney Schaumleffel tells
me he has evidence the negroes were
organized to start the riot, and their
political leaders, he believed, had
done h organizing.
This is where rotor politics enters.
The negro vote Is the balance Of pow
er. White politicians have traded for
this vote. Black politicians concluded
they could get whatever they wanted.
There may have been German mon
ey paid to black leaders. There is
much the look Of it.
But there could have been
that blow-up without the foundation
of rotten industrial conditions, vile
living conditions, and corrupt politics.
Let any other city duplicate
those conditions and that city
will find itself looking into the
red eyes of the abysmal brute.
The manufacturers want the police
and fire departments cleaned out, and
will demand the mayor resign. That
will help, but it will not cure. It Is up
to the powerful employers Of this city
to help lay an industrial foundation
upon which to build a clean, healthy,
we'll housed and we'll fed population
that, black or white, will be able to
lead the kind Of ives hat makes cities

committed suicide by drowning him
self in a pond in his native town. At
