CONSTANT ITCHING AL
MOST UNBEATABLE.

Only those afflicted with Ec-
zema, with it's terrifying irritation
and ceaseless itching know what
constant torture this disease can
cause. The disease appears IN
different ways, sometimes with a
reddening and irritation of the
skin, sometimes in the form OF
blisters. Other cases of Eczema
take the form of a dry, scaly con-
dition of the skin that cracks and
peels- But no matter in what
form the disease appears, it is a
source Of constant fiery Irritation
that is well-nigh unbearable.
Eczema is very often considered
g. skin disease. This is natural
mistake, as it attacks the skin and
it is through the skin that 1t
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 condl-
ton of the skin is the result OF the
germs trying to break out OF the
system. Beyond the use of anti
septics to promote cleanliness,
there is no local treatment that
will accomplish a permanent cure
of this disease. And those who
have been relying 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, Ga, found re-
lief from this terrifying disease,
after all local treatment had
failed. He writes:

Years of untold suffering can
nc avoided ii the real cause Of a
disease can be definitely deter
mined, and the proper method Of
treatment employed. Hence those
afflicted with Eczema will con-
tinue to suffer as long as they con-
slider the disease Condition of the
skin, and rely solely upon local
applications of salveS, olntmentS
and similar remedies. If you
really want to be cured YOU must
realize that the disease is in the
blood, and you can expect rehe1
only from treatment that is d.
rected toward cleansing rhe blood
of the disease germs. This is why
S. S. S. is so successful IN the
treatment OF Eczema and all other
diseases of the blood; because it
acts as an antidote TO any lmpur-
ity that finds lodgment In the
blood. Being purely vegetable
and guaranteed not to contain a
particle of mineral substance, it is
an exceptionally fine tonic, and
besides eliminating 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

PEOPLE SHOULD DECIDE
AND THEN ACT

In Justice to themselves and with
regard for the Civic League which
has done considerable work to get
the question of hard-surfaced roads
before the people of the county for
consideration, there should besan ex-
presson in response to the circulated
petitions.
The petitions propose that the
commissioners shall call bond cleo
ton to determine whether we shall
build seven or eight miles Of some
kind of hard-surfaced roads at the
approach of the three principal towns
in the county, the particular type of
construction to be determined like
any other question of price and ma
terials is settled by receiving bids
and considering the whole question
of what the material and what the
cost.
Signing the petition means simply
that the commissioners are asked to
call bond election SO people can
all 60 and vote on whether we shall
build roads, where the traffic is
heaviest. If people who have haul
ing to do will consider how much
time they throw away hauling light
loads because Of the road copditions,
they will soon get measure of how
much they are losing daily by that
means. And such losses are abso-
lutte and likely to continue in con-
slant repetition, whereas, If they
paid their mite toward road construc-
ton it would shut off the leak and
enable them to accomplish their work
in less time. If man has thirty
days hauling to do this fall, who is
there that would not like to do it in
twenty days and then have ten days
for fall blowing or other work that
is pressing Ten days saved for
man and team this fall means about
$40 and next spring and next fall he
will need roads again, and every
other season as long as he lives.

NAMING AND ACCEPTING
THE TERMS OF PEACE.

A good many hard things have
been said as to what should be done
with the German leaders when this
war is won. A good many things
are always said in the heat Of war
as to what should be done with the
enemy when he is conquered and
has to take what the conqueror die
tates. During the Civil War a great
deal was said about who ought to be
hung, and in the reconstruction days
the worst element Of the North went
south to enforce their will and their
cussedness upon PROSTATE people.
If Lincoln and Seward had lived and
had the support of such men as Grant
and Sherman, the South would have
been saved from much of the bitter
ness that followed defeat. The South
lost their best friends when Lincoln
and Seward were assassinated. The
elements in the South that rejoiced
at the death of Lincoln, encouraged
demon spirit within themselves,
and were met by demon spirits in
those who administered the military
government and the horde of social
led carpet-baggers who dominated
the South for a generation. 1t was
an unfortunate trend of affairs, sown
in contention and reaped in riot;
conceived in malice and hardened
into frozen agony; mental and
spiritual condition that nothing but
death or the love of God could melt.
If the great Lincoln had lived, and
his kindly spirit dominated the re-
construction period, the wounds of
the South would have been healed
generation sooner.

WHAT A THANKSGIVING
THIS FALL!

Americans are in the habit of CIV
ing thanks in November. This fall
they can scarcely wait, and it does
no harm to bubble over at this time.
Here in Idaho we complained last
spring that. 1t was cold and windy
and crops did not terminate and
grow as usual. But what the weather
clerk cropped of of spring he tackled
on to autumn. The first half of
September is the usual time for kill
ing frosts, and alfalf and those be-
lated grain fields were not inter-
rupted by frost UP to the last days
of SUPPLEMENTARY rebuke to the
grumbler. The beet fields that were
plowed up and sowed to grain ow-
ing to failure of beet seed, are thus
turned into gold even after the fail
ure,
The extreme scarcity of wheat in
the world for the past year that
brought the allies to the verge of de-
feat, and which was prevented by the
American people taking enough
bread off of their own tables to feed
the allies, is now answered by the
greatest acreage and the greatest
harvest that America has ever
known. All the mills and elevators
from ocean to ocean are full Of wheat
the granaries are full, wheat is piled
in the barns and the fields and Amer
lea is really embarrassed with it's
wealth of wheat. Because of the fact
that famine or crop failure has gen.
orally been preceded by a lavish
yield, steps are already being taken
to safeguard the next crop and to
lay by surplus against local or gem
eral failure. Every American feels
like cabling the kaiser how much
wheat we have and wiring the for
eign allied relief committees to in
crease the rations to the hungry, and
to draw on me-
And wheat is not the only bounty.

THE NEWSPAPER CRASH

For many months the Idaho Re-
publican has been predicting a great
crisis in the newspaper business, and
it has arrived in such severity it is
little less than revolution. On the
first day of October, all the dailies
in the United States, 60 on a cash
basis and reduce the amount of paper
they consume. On the first day of
November the weeklies and semi
weeklies go on the cash basis, with
restrictions as to the amount of
paper they may use.
Newspaper offices all over the
country are closing, and the machin-
cry is being offered for sale. Pub
locations that circulate especially
among printers and newspaper pub
fishers show marked changes. The
long columns of want ads headed
Employment Wanted are dwindl-
ing to nearly nothing. and the col
umns are swelling to great proper
tions saying, Outfits for sale,"
Newspapers for SALE" Presses for
SALE" and "a going BUSINESS for
sale.' There is humor in that last
item, for many a going business go
ing to the dogs and is not worth buy
ing.
Added to all the turmoil is the
fact that printers are being called to
the, colors, and it takes from six
months to year to teach the trade
to new hands. Manufacturers of
printing machinery are being taken
over for war work, and many good
presses and machines in use today,
cannot be kept in service if anything
breaks, becaue of the difficulty of
getting duplicate parts since the
factory is on government work.
