REP. v. S. HOWARD
aiming At SENATE
Georgia Member Will Be Candidate
to Succeed Sen. Hardwick.

Representative William SchIey
Howard. of Georgia, made formal
announcement yesterday of his
candidacy for the United States
Senate to succeed Thomas W.
Hardwic+I. whose term will expire
next March. William J. Harris,
member of the Federal Trade Com
mission. is also a candidate.
In making his announcement,
Howard said he would contend that
Hardwick's vote and attitude upon
many measures sought by the Presi-
dent did not reflect the sentiment
Of the patriotic people Of his State.
Hardwick was one of the group
designated by the President as the
"wilful twelve" who opposed the
armed neutrality bill at the last
session. In the present session he
has opposed many of the admins
tration measures. HOward's an
nOuncement says in part:
If the people OF Georgia honor
me by bestowing commission to
represent them in the upper
chamber, I promise them that my
vote and voice there shall rebound
to the honor of my country, my
State and my party. My service
shall unerringly be for the success

the betterment of the constituency
of Georgia in domestic affairs"

DisGguring Eruptions Come from
Disordered Condition of
the Blood.

If you have never been afflicted with
Eczema, that most trying of all skin
diseases. you have no conception of
the real pain and suffering that you
have escaped. Just imagine the sur
face OF your skin ablaze, with flames
of fire playing all up and down the
irritated parts of the body, and you
can get some idea of the real torture
the disease produces.
Eczema Is probably the most ag-
gravated Of all skin diseases, though
there are other disorders of the skin,
such as tetter, itching pimples, blotch-
es, eruptions and similar conditions,
that can give you unlimited discom-
fort. The itching, irritating and pain
ful features Of these disorders cause
the sufferer to continually scratch
and rub in an effort to get relief, but
the sharp tingling and burning only
become more aggravated. '
If the disease itself were confined to
the local irritations, then 1t might be
possible to cure same by using local
applications. But eczema, tetter, acne
and other so-called diseases of the
skin have their origin in the blood,
and they can be cured only By rem

Nevertheless the Indians are not
content to wait. They have called
upon the District Supreme Court to
compel Uncle Sam to pay the money.

N. W. SECTION
PAYSHIGHEST
FOR GROCERIES
Storekeepers Claim Ere.
quent Deliveries Reason
for Difference.

As a result of a survey made by
food insptcors Of the District Of
Columbia food administration, Clar-
ence r. Wilson, local food adminis-
traitor, has come to the conclusion
that the section of Washington ly-
ing north of II street and west of
Ninth street, northwest, is paying
more for foodstuffs than any other
section in the city.
One OF the reasons advanced by
retail store dealers in that section
of the city for the higher cost Of
living is that they are forced to
make so many deliveries each day
to the same customers. II frequent
deliveries are refused the house.
holders they will transfer their
patronage to other stores which are
more accommodating, and in order
to maintain trade in that part Of
the city. dealers are competing with
each other in making deliveries for
the most trifling purchases.
The fair price publication" says
Mr.. Wilson. includes fair prices
based upon a normal credit and de-
livery service by the grocer. II
the District of Columbia food ad-
ministrator insists that all dealers
conform their prices to the pub
lished fair price list. 1t is only fair
that extravagant and Unnecessary
deliveries to the householder be
done away with. and that credit
accounts be promptly paid"
A plan suggested by his inves-
tigators was laid before Mr.. Wilson
yesterday. All retail dealers and
grocers in that section of the city
will be called into conference with
him to devise some means Of cut
ting down deliveries and other
service" charges which the resi-
dents of the northwest part, of the
city have to pay with their food
prices.
