There's lust one thing to do.

If your skin seems ablaze with the
fiery burning and itching of Eczema,
real and lasting relief can only
come from treatment that goes below
the surface--that reaches down to
the very source of the trouble. So
called skin diseases come from a dis
ordered condition of the blood, and
the proper treatment is through the
blood.

DRINK MUCH CHAMPAGNE.

Twenty thousand dollars day are
spent in New York for champagne.
This is not a guess but carefully
prepared estimate based on figures
furnished by the big liquor and i'm
porting houses. Before the Civil
war gentlemen served carefully pre-
served and personally cared-for
wines, but with the mad rush for
precedence that followed the Civil.
war and the forced nomadic propen-
sites of succeeding generations, it
became impossible to keep wine for
ten or twenty years before being
served. That is the real reason why
champagne is the fashionable drink
today.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The high prices of meat this win
ter have tempted some unscrupu-
lous persons to sell meat of ques-
tionable character even at the risk
Of being punished for violation Of
the statehood laws. Such an in-
stance was brought to the atten-
ton Of the state food department. a
few days ago from Charles Mix
county. An inspector was sent to
investigate and, with the help Of
the states attorney, he found that
q COW which had been helpless aud
fevered for a week had been finally
killed and the CARCASS dressed and
sold to farmers in the neighbor-
hood for good wholesome meat. "A
warrant was issued for the arrest
of the culprit but to date the sher-
if has been unable to locate him,
the opinion being that he felt it
safer to find residence in another
state, even leaving his wife and
child here. Another case was re-
ported from Washington Springs,
where some hogs that had smoth-
cred to death had been dressed and
the meat sold. The states attor-
ney there investigated the matter
and caused the arrest and prose.
cution Of the culprit, with the re-
suit that heavy fine was impos.
ed. Later an inspector from the
food department on further inves.
tigation found that the same per.
son still had in his possession some
two hundred fifty pounds of lard
which he had rendered from the
dead hogs. This the Inspector
caused him TO ship for soap grease
instead OF selling it for edible fat.
Recent work in enforcing the ho-
tel inspection law has resulted IN
the prosecution Of a restaurant
keeper at Tripp on account Of un-
sanitary conditions in the place,
the closing Of a hotel at Elk Point
and the changing Of management
of a hotel at Beresford.

DRAMATIC COMPANY

One feature which ia somewhat
Of an innovation to the Chautau-
qua circnis will be the presentation
Of modern drama by the Univer-
sity Players. This is a dramatic
company OF real artists, organized
especially for Chautauqua work BY
Harry Raymond Pierce, of the Bos-,
ton Lyceum School. Several sue.
cessful seasons on the chautauqua
and lycenm platform have resulted
an fattering comments and secured
for them the endorsement of pull
spit and school.
SPEAKERS OF NOTE
The entertainment features,
however, have not been played up
at the expense of the lectures
which, after all, comprise the real
back bone of the Chautauqua
movement.
Five lecturers Of proven ability
have been secured and their sub.
jects deal with problems which vi
tally concern our national life.
Judge Manford Schoonover, Of
=Kansag, has long been identified
with the public life Of that progress
sive state. His address on the
sUnseen Forces" has been sched.
uled for the first night Of Chautau.
qua. This insures a good start for
the weeks festival.
Clarence Locke Miller, Of Ohio,
has been featured on the Redpath
lYceum courses Of the past year
and is regarded as one of the most
brilliant dramatic orators of the
platform. His lecture on 'sThe
Democracy of Achievement" should
be one of the ''high spots'' of
Chautauqua.
One of the most unique charac-
ters in public life will be presented
in the person of the Hon. J. H.
"Cyclone" Davis, congressman
from Texas. Congressman Davis
is a typical southern orator of the
old school and has justly earned
the title of "Cyolone."
NJ. 81. PembertoD, of Missouri,
has been styled the "second Mark
Twain" In his home state he has
established a great reputation as a
humorist.
DR.. George G.. Aydelot, of Ne
braska, will deliver the lecture on
the closing day of Chautauqua.
DR.. Aydelot is regarded as one of
the most successful pastors of the
Southwest.
