NEARLY $4,000 MEN
MOVED TO WAR WORK
U. S. Employment Service Shifts
Common Labor Successfully.

The immense work which the
United States Employment Service
is doing in the distribution of COM
mon labor to plants engaged in war
work is shown in reports for
August
Between $4,000 and $4,000 nu-
skilled laborers were recruited and
moved from States in which there
was a surplus of common laborers
to other States in which there were
government projects, short of la
Dor.
Most of this work was actually
done in three weeks, as the first
week was spent in organizing the
service.
None OF the labOrers were taken
from the farms and other necessary
work. The directors report shows
that there was an absence of frfc-
with hearty response and co-opera =
tion by employers.
To augment the common labor
supply for war production several
hundred laborers were brought into
the country from the Bahama Is
lands in the last few days. They
will be used in the construction of
the army and navy terminal at
Norfolk, Va.
As soon as shipping space is
available several thousand Porto
Rican laborers will be brought into
the United States for government
war work. Plans are also being
perfected Off the utilization OF
Mexican labor for war work.

INDUSTRY AND WAR
TOLD BY ETCHINGS
Philadelphian Portrays Work Bat
Ting for World Freedom.

In eighty frames at the Corcoran
Art Gallery Joseph PennelI, the
philadelphia etcher and Ilthoeraph-
er. tells of industry's part in push
ing the world war in the exhibit
tion that was opened to the public
today.
In selecting his subjects Mr.. PEN
nell felt the pulse of public opinion
in war activities. He shows ships
in the making. the propeller of air
planes being formed, shells being
nodded in munitions factories, an
embarkation point, an army camp
in the making, men creating mon
ster locomotives. He is a Philadel-
phian taking photographs on a Wis
il to the steel and iron factories
of Schwab and Carnegie.
Only a poet could see the rhythm
of motion and the thought impulses
in his belching factories where one
knows men are working in greasy
Cveralls amid the fumes and heat
of furnaces as Mr.. Pennen has
done.

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 blisters.
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 d
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 con-
dition of the skin is the result of
the germs trying to break out of
the system. Beyond the use of an
tiseptics to promote cleanliness,
there is no local treatment that will
accomplish 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 Ave
nue., in Atlanta, Ca. found relief
from this terrifying disease, after
all local treatment had failed. He
writes:

S. am entirely cured"
Years of untold suffering can be
avoided if the real cause of dis
ease can be definitely determined,
and the proper method of treat
ment employed. Hence those af-
fIicted with Eczema will continue
to suffer as long as they consider
the disease a condition of the skin,
and rely solely upon local appIica-
tions of salves, ointments and SIM
liar remedies. IF you really want
to be cured you must realize that
ihe disease is in the blood, and you
can expect relief only f;om treat
ment that is directed toward
cleansing the blood of the disease
germs. This is why S. S. S. is so
successful in the treatment of Ec-
zema and all other diseases of the
lood-because it acts as an anti
dote to any impurity that finds
