Seems Like the Skin Is on Fire

There is a harrassing discomfort
caused by Eczema that almost be-
comes a torture. The itching is al
most unbearable, and the skin seems
on fire with the burning irritation.
A cure from local applications of
salyes and ointments is impossible,
because such treatment can only al
lay the pain temporarily. The disease
can only be reached by going deep
down to its source.

The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed.

People are often much disappointed
to find that their family physician is
away from home when they most need
his services. Diseases like pain in the
stomach and bowels, collie and diar-
rhoea require prompt treatment, and
have in many instances proven fatal
before medicine could be procured or a
physician summoned. The right way
is to keep at hand a bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy.
No physician can prescribe a better
medicine for these diseases. By hav-
ing it in the house you escape much
pain and suffering and all risk. Buy
it now; it may save life.

Usit is regularly applied for reason

fine treatment for freckles, black

before retiring. Try Usit Face Pow

NOT ONLY INSPIRATION LOST
Error of Ralph Waldo Emerson Left
Better Half Mourning Loss OF
CostIv Hair Ornament.

In the days of Ralph Waldo Elmer
son matches were not sold loose in
boxes. but were made up in "cards,"
az they we're called, Of dozen or so,
connected by common wooden base,
from which they we're broken off as
necessity required.
Emerson, SO the story goes, used to
Mace a fresh card Of matches on a
table by his bedside every night, to-
gether with candle and seine writ
ing materials, in order that he might
lot down at once any valuable thought
that came into his mind during the
night watches.
One night he Weakened with par
dcularly brilliant idea and bethoGght
himself at once of his canny prepare
fions for such emergencies. Reaching
out. he grasped his card of matches,
broke off the outer one and struck it
sharply on the under side of the table.
1t failed to ignite. Swiftly he struck
the next and the next, but with the
same result.

Even so great philosopher began
to grow little annoyed. Sitting up
in bed, with grim determination he
broke off enc match after another
until the card was gone. Not one gave
the faintest spark.
BY that time the idea was gone, too,
and so his only recourse was to lay
himself down again to ponder over a
new problem, to-wit: why wouldn't
those matches light?"
Whatever his solution was. however,
1t probably had to be revised the next
morning, when he was Weakened by a
startled cry from his wife,
"Oh, what can have happeaed to my

STOMACH SUFFERERS
Says Indigestion Comes from an Excess
of Hydrochloric
Acid

A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion is nearly
always due TO aeidity-acid stomach
and not, as most folks believe, from a
lack of digestive juices. He states that
an excess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach retards digestion and starts food
fermentation, then our meals sour like
garbage i'll can, forming aerid fluids
and gases, which initiate the stomach like
a toy balloon. We then get that heavy,
lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate
sour food, belch gas, or have heartburn,
iatulence, waterbrash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead get from any pharmacy
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a ia
BILE spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast while it is effervescing, and
furthermore, to continue this for one
week. While relief follows the first DOSE
it is important to neutrallze the acidity,
remove the gas making mass, start the
liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus
promote a free flow of pure digestive
juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia and sodium phos-
phate. This harmless salts is used by
thousands of people for stomach trouble
with excellent results.--Adv.

OPPOSITION

Washington, Feb. s.--Bitter opposi
ton, outspoken by Republicans and pri
yately expressed by many Democrats
was evident in Congress yesterday
against the administration bill giving
the president power to reorganize all ex'
ecutive departments for the conduct OF
the war
Many Democrats said the bill could
never pass Congress and some doubted
if it could get even a favorable reprt
from the Senate judiciary committee.
"The measure would abolish Re-
publican form of government" said Sen.
ator Gallinger, Republican leader He
added that there would be determined
Republican opposition ii the bill was Sc.
riously pressed.
Senator Lodge said the bill was com
plete admission of the necessity for ex.
ecutive reorganization but that its char
acter was such that ii could never be-
come law. Many Democratic leaders
said they had not dreamed the president
intended to ask Congress to give him
such sweeping authority. The first
clash over the bill is expected in the
Senate Judiciary committee next Mon.
day.

ITO persuade the Turkish government
TO make a separate peace; to unite and

In statement to the press, Renal

latest reports from Constantinople en-
phasize the tremendous impression made
by the capture OF Jerusalem. But the
stop the war movement in CONSTANT
nople derives its principal impetus from
the economic miseries of the people rath
er than from any dismay at the dwin-
ding OF Turkish power and prestige. The
terrible conditions of the poorer classes
cannot easily be exaggerated.
THE disorganization of the army is
another factor. The number of Turk
ish deserters in Asia Minor is now over
100000. The Turk deserts not because
he is afraid, but because his eyes have
been opened TO the real origin of the war
and the futiIity of continuing it, The
aim of our organization is not merely
to get Turkey away from alliance with
the Germans, but to get Turkey into the
war on the side of the entente"

embassy the fuel administration in
Washington has been enabled to offer
a ship load of British coal to James j.
Storrow for use in Boston. Mr.. Stor-
row made the announcement yesterday
1t appears that the British government
sent steamer of coal over to the Unit
ed States to bunker the ships that were
being detained for lack of coal, and that
when the British steamer reached this
side of the Atlantic the vessels had Sc
cured coal OF course, it was at great
inconvenience to New England industries
and homes that the transatlantic liners
had been bunkered, and negotiations for
the disposal of the British coal led to
its consignment to James J. Storrow for
use in New England Mr.. Storrow says
it is not very far off. 1t is not very
large quantity, however.
Water borne coal arriving in port yes
terday amounted to about $4,000 tons,
but it was not for general distribution.
There were four steamers, one for the
Edison company with $685. tons, one for
the Boston Elevated with 1900 tons. one
for the Everett Coke works with 1885
tons, and one for the Metropolitan Coal
with 1000 tons Although
three of these lots go to special plants
that are entitled TO have large supplies,
they become an asset to the whole COM
munity. Had they failed to come the
reserve would have had to have been
drawn upon to provide for these public
