Report on Conditions in
English Labor May Have
Great Influence Here

employees appear to be agreed:
That the spirit of cooperation be-
tween labor and capital is highly
desirable: that the spirit of cOncil-
iation is important for the benefit
Of the employer in stabilizing his
business and for the benefit OF the
employees in preserving his regul-
larly organized unions; that in col
-lective bargaining the right-minded
employer Will not attempt 10 re-
turn 10 the pre-war industrial era,
and that the right-minded employee
will not attempt TO crowd his de-
mands 10 the point at which the
stimulus for private business enter
prise would disappear.
The spirit of a genuinely better

 tive games. During this time he has made 10 safeties.

CONSTANT ITCHING AL
 MOST UNBEATABLE

Only those afflicted with Ec-. zema, with it's terrifying irri- tation and ceaseless itching know what constant torture this disease can cause. The dis ease appears in different ways, sometimes with reckoning and irritation of the skin, some times 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 source of constant fiery irri- tation that is well-nigh un- bearable.
 Eczema is very often consid- cred skin disease. This is a natural mistake, as it attacks the skin and it is through the skin that it causes so much dis comfort and suffering. But the real seat of the disease is the blood. The germs of Eczema are in the blood, and the irri- tated and diseased condition of the skin is the result of the germs trying to break out o1 the system. Beyond the use o1 antiseptics to promote cleanli- ness, there is no local treatment that will accomplish a per manent cure of this disease And those who have been rely ing altogether upon salves soaps, ointments and other To- cal applications to the skin vii find that no permanent gooC will come from such treatmen by itself.
 Read how Basil M. Lanneau who resides on Confederate avenue, in Atlanta, Ga, fount relief from this terrifying dis ease, after all local treatmen had failed. He writes:

Years of untold suffering can be avoided if the real cause of a disease can be definitely de- termined, and the proper method of treatment employed. Hence those afflicted with Ec-. zema will continue to suffer as long as they consider the dis. ease condition of the skin, and rely solely upon local ap- plications of salves, ointments and similar remedies. If you really want to be cured you must realize that the disease is in the blood, and you can ex- pect relief only from treatment that is directed toward cleans ing the blood of the disease germs. This is why s. s. s. is so successful in the treatment of Eczema and all other dis eases. of the blood; because it acts as an antidote, to any inn purity that finds lodgment in the blood. Being purely vege- table and guaranteed not to contain a particle of mineral substance, it is an exceptionally fine tonic, and besides eliminat- ing from the blood all traces ot impurity, it builds up and strengthens the entire system at the same time.
 We invite everyone afflicted ] with Eczema or other blood ol l skin disease to write our med. ical department for advice
 which is gladly given without 'I charge. Full instructions as te
 how to treat your own individ ual case will be gladly fur

Prior To the order Of October "a
1918, all Of this region had been To-
Gated for many years in the second

since the setting back Of the time

resulting in an almost universal de-
mand for restoration Of the condi-
