Constant Itching Almost
Unbearable.

Only those afflicted with Ec-
zema. with its terrifying irritation
and ceaseless itching. know what
constant torture this disease can
cause. The disease appears in diff
ferent ways, sometimes with a red
dening and irritation of the skin,
sometimes in the form of blsters.
Other cases of Eczema take the
form of dry. scaly condition of
the skin that cracks and peels. But
no matter in what form the dis
ease appears, it is a source of con-
slant fiery irritation that is we'll
nigh unbearable.
Eczema is very often consid-
cred a skin disease. This is a
natural mistake, as it attacks the
skin, and it is through the skin
hat it 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 con-
dition of the skin is the result of
the germs trying to break out of
the system. Beyond the use of an
lsephcs to promote cleanliness,
there is no local treatment that will
accomplish permanent cure of this
lisease. And those who have been
,elying altogether upon salves,
Ioaps, 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 Ave
nue., in Atlanta, Ca. found relief
from this terrifying disease, after
all local treatment had failed. He

Public interest in the trial was in
creased by the dramatic shooting in

thorities said, was the result of feud
among rival factions of the Hindu de-
PENDANTS. Ram Chandra, publicist and
revolutionist, was shot to death by Ram

fendant While Singh still pressed the
trigger OF an automatic pistol he too was

The High School Report.
Mail Carriers Sell Thrift Stamps.

Rivalry among the city letter carriers
and the rural delivery men at the Barre
postotfice continues as to the sale of
thrift stamps, and while the leader and
the "end man" in each group are widely
separated. the sales are continually in
creasing, and interest grows proportion
ately At the end of each week the re-
turns are posted on bulletin board in
the workroom. where the following
standing was tabulated April 20: City
carriers, W. ID. Macdonald, SI,l7I.l4;
II. B. Houghton. S2S5.22; C. L. Converse.
$255ls; G. A. Spear S2l40S; d. S. Wa
terman, $3.50: L. NJ. Lewis, S7949;

S4320: rural delivery men, Charles
Ayers, S294.0l; Arthur w. Robinson,
Sl2064: James Johnston, S2422; c. G.
Carr, S22.03. The total for carriers in
both divisions is S2,65s.3l. II should be
borne in mind that thrift stamp custom
ers are erivileged to button-hole car
rier on the street and purchase, an opera
ton which the carrier, obviously, is will
ing to perform.

THE WOMAN SIGHED
When Her Husband Told About Being
Driven from Home.

In Washington county court this
morning, the case of Rilla Blondin vs.
r. S. Blondin of Waterbury. a contested
divorce case. was tried. This is of par
ticular interest to Waterbury people
and several of the townspeople listened
to considerable Of the testimony. Mrs.
! Blondin claims intolerable severity and
refusal 10 support, while her husband
claims that he was driven out of the
home.
Mrs Blondin was very dramatic in the
court this morning while her husband
was telling his version Of the trouble,
giving vent 10 her feelings with signs
and audible comments which at times at
tracted considerable attention to her.
while the children in the rear of the
courtroom laughed considerably.
This afternoon the case of Luceba
George vs.. the estate Of Asa Dutton was
presented 20 the court. In this suit the
plaintiff appeals from the probate court
claiming that the decision. which al
lowed the surviving partner and the ad-
to settle the case. Was not
right. II Is a case in which the old com
mon law OF the state and the new stat
utes differ on the probate law. The Dut.
tons conducted q store IN Calais The
husband died and the estate was settled.
5ut il appears that Mr. George had
note against the estate. upon which she ]
iid not get full face value The estate
settled for - cents on the dollar.

make the people realize that they must
cut wood and impress upon the nom
essential industries that they must help,
for to the essential industries the gov
