CONSTANT ITCHING AL
MOST UNBEATABLE

Only those afflicted with
Eczema, with its terrifying
irritation and ceaseless itch
ing know what constant tor
ture this disease can cause.
The disease appears in differ
ent 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 condition of the
skin that cracks and peels.
But no matter in what form
the disease appears, 1T is a
Aource of constant fiery irri-
tation that is well-nigh I'M
bearable.
Eczema is very often con-
sidered a skin disease. This
is a natural mistake, as it at
tacks 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 Ec-
zema are in the blood,
and the irritated and dis
eased condition of the skin
is the result of the germs try
ing to break out of the sys-
TEN. Beyond the use of anti
septics to promote cleanliness,
there is no local treatment
that will accomplish a per-
manent cure of this disease.
And those who have been re-
lying altogether upon salves,
soaps, ointments and other
local applications to the skin
,9u find that no permanent
kood will come from such
treatment by itself.
Read how Basil M. Lam
neau, who resides on Confed-
crate Avenue, in Atlanta,
Ga, found relief from this
terrifying disease, after all
local treatment had failed. He

~ suffered with most agra

Eczema r. nothing but blood trou-
bic. for after taking several bottles

Years of untold suffering
can be avoided if the real
cause Of a disease can be def
nitely determined. and the
proper method of treatment
employed. Hence those af-
flicted with Eczema will con-
tinue to suffer as long as they
consider the disease a condi-
ton of the skin, and rely
solely upon local applications
of salves, ointments and sim
liar remedies. If you really
want TO be cured you must
realize that the disease is in
the blood, and you can expect
relief only from treatment
that is directed toward clean
sing the blood Of the disease
germs. This is why S. S. S.
is so successful in the treat
ment of Eczema and all other
diseases Of the blood because
it acts as an antidote TO any
impurity that finds sdgment
in the blood. Being purely
vegetable and guaranteed not
to contain a particle of min
eral substance, it is an excep-
tionally 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 afflict-
ed with Eczema, or other
blood or skin disease, to write

LA TOILETTE
BLAME ENDED?
Charge of Disloyalty May
Be Laid Aside by Com
mittee Today.

The charges of disloyalty against
Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette will be
taken up by the Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections of the Senate to-
day and either laid upon the table
or dismissed.
This action will bring to a close
an incident in the story of America s
participation in the war that at one
time threatened the political future
of Senator LaFollette and brought
upon him the condemnation Of ali
who were led to believe that he had
delivered an address urging disloy-
atty before an audience in St Paul,
Mimi, soon after this country en-
tered the war.
The widely circulated report Of the
st. Paul speech was later corrected
by a news distributing agency which
published an apology and stated that
the report was without foundation
of fact But in the meantime the
Senate had acceded to demands that
Senator LaFollette be charged with
voicing disloyal sentiments, and the
matter was placed before the Com.
mittee on Privileges and Elections.
At one time il appeared that senator
LaFollette faced expulsion. With lack
of evidence against him, however, SEN
timent underwent a marked change

SENATE ORDERS
PROBE TO HALT
SHIP CONTRACT
Harding Resolution Author.
ICES Investigation of
Hurley Board.
CHARGES MONEY LOST
$384,0O0, 900 Spent on
Wooden Vessels Wasted,
Calder Alleges in Letter.

The Senate yesterday authorized an
investigation of the work of the
United States Shipping Board and
the Emergency Fleet Corporation by
the Committee on Commerce to sup
plement the report which under the
law the shipping board must present
on December i.
The resolution for the investiga-
tion, bearing the endorsement of the
committee oil commerce, was pre-
sented by Senator Harding. The in
vestigation will deal ip the main
with determining the amount OF
money expended, the ships built and
their records in service.
Says Wooden Ships a Failure.
Senator Calder, in commenting upon
the resolution stated that he had in
tended to introduce a similar measure
as he has been reliably informed
that only 80 or 100 of the wooden
ships have been built; that only &c
of them ever carried a cargo and
that none of them were capable OF
attempting a transatlantic voyage.
He stated that the first of the
wooden ships sank before reaching
the dock of the lessee and that the
second sank in a storm on its first
voyage. He pointed out that $751;,
100000 was authorized by Congress for
the construction OF wooden ships.
In a letter to Chairman Hurley OF
the shipping board Senator Calder
today said:
II understand that none of the
wooden vessels have gone over seas,
that none are fit to go, and that in
the neighborhood of 40 wooden YES
sells under contract have not been
started. 1t is in reference to these
40 that | write TO urge that imme-
diate steps be taken TO prevent any,
thing further being done upon them.
Would Halt Ship Contracts.
"A number of shipping men have
been to see me and they state that
our whole wooden ship program has
been a failure and that practically
all of the money invested in these
vessels will be lost to the. govern
ment too. These facts, of course
will be brought out in the investi-
cation and now that the war emer-
gency is over II seems very proper
to me that the building of any fur
ther wooden ships should stop
Shipping Board officials pointed
out that while il is true that wooden
ships were Funable to Withstand the
elements and had proved unsea-
worthy, they had not proved a total
failure. 1t was also stated that
wooden ships were not built for
transatlantic service. but for use
in coastwise trade in order that
steel ships might be transferred to
ns-Atlantic service.
