1t always gives me great pleasure
to recommend D.. D. D. whenever oc-
casions arise. l know only too well
of it's wonderful qualities and virtues.
and furthermore l feel it my duty to
aid suffering humanity when they arc
sorely and dangerously afflicted as !
was, as hundreds here can and will
testify.
A short time ago my little grand
daughter, (aged two years. was af-
flicted with a skin disease resembling
eczema, and after a mild treatment
of seven applications she was entirely
cured and the disease entirely and
perfectly eradicated. This was GER
tainly remarkable cure in the course
of only eight days.

housekeepers prefer the substitutes
because they consider them cheaper

Mr.. Hayes quotes a letter addressed
to DIR. H. A. Garfield. United States

himself and other officials of the
United Mine Workers. In this letter
the miners officials arrive at the con-
clusion that the only sensible, log
ical solution is substantial fiat wage
increase to be applied to all classifica-
tions of mine labor throughout the
country. Such an action would only
make general and official what is now
being done by the operators in sub
stance and effect, and such an increase
can be met and applied by the coal
operators of the United States with
out the necessity of an increase in
the selling prices of coal to the con-
suming public.
