Seems Like the Skin Is on Fire.

There IS a harassing discomfort
caused by Eczema that becomes
a torture. The itching is almost
unbearable. and the skin seems
on fire with the burning irri-
tation. A cure from local applica-
tions of salves and ointments is i'm
possible, because such treatment
can only allay the pain temporar-
ily. The disease can only be
reached by going deep down to its
source.

Increase Of Gas Rates WM
 Effect Price Of Ice is Claim

Ice is one of the necessities that will increase in price in Pine Bluff Little Rock and other cities if the proposed increase in gas rates be- comes effective, according to men interested in the industry. Gas is so generally used as fuel by factories that any increase in rates to indus trial users naturally will be borne by tine general public, as in the case of ice, it has been pointed out. Little Rock ice manufacturers have stated that they will be compelled ad- vance the prices, and Henry Bernath of the Texas Consolidated Ice and Coal Company states that the proposed increase would add $1.50 per ton to the cost of manufacturing ice here.
 The Pine Bluff Company, operating the street railway, electric and water systems, will find it's gas bill prac- tically doubled by the proposed in- crease in gas rates. This company is probably the largest user of gas in the city. The eighty per cent in- crease Tn gas rates would aQu tnouS- ands to it's monthly gas bill, and in crease the cost of production that it might be compelled to advance rates. The Standard Brake Shoe and Foundry company would have $2,0OO added to the operating cost of it's electric steel furnace by the proposed gas rate raise. This company recent ly invested about S50,000 in a new process steel furnace, the only one of it's kind in Arkansas, and one of the few west of the Mississippi rivs CT. The $2,000 addition to to oper- ating cost would come through in crease cost of electricity due to the 80 per cent raise in gas rates.

Cleveland Fans
 Expect Victory

Cleveland, O., Oct. 5.-Baseball fans here were in a frenzy of ex- citement tonight over the victory of the Indians in the first game of the Worlds series with Brooklyn today. Wherever the fans congregated to- days game was gone over and over in detail, and it was the concensus of opinion that their idols would make it two straight tomorrow.
 Consternation was expressed in the fact that Rube Marquard was disposed of, and that with Mamaux having pitched part of today's game he would hardly be available tomor- row. Fans as rule do not fear much trouble in disposing of any one else whom Manager Robinson might pitch. Confidence was expressed that James Bagby and Walter Mails would be just as effective as Coveles- kie

dustries which will be handicapped by the proposed increase, adding thousands to their cost of operation The Jefferson Oil Company which recently acquired the plant of the Union Seed and Fertilizer Company and the Pine Bluff Cotton Oil Com pany will have about $2,000 month added to their costs should the pro- posed gas rates become effective The Planters Oil Company, though it uses electricity, will have about $1 400 month added to it's costs as a result Of the increase. This is by reason of clause in the contract for cleo
 tricity providing for an increase ol decrease in electric rates according to increase or decrease in the cost of fuel. Cotton gins using electrici- ty will be affected similarly.
 Industrial users of gas recently had their rates increased from 20.25 cents per 1000 cubic feet to 25 cents. The gas company now has given notice of intention to make flat rate of 20 cents to all consumers, with a discount or ) cents per thousand feet 1 for payment of bills when due. This amounts to approximately a 100 per cent increase.
 Application for the proposed in creases in industrial rates has been made to the Arkansas corporation commission. Cities cooperating with commercial interests are said to be planning to fight the proposed hike when the case is heard before the corporation commission.
 The proposed "change" as the gas company calls the application for increase does not materially affect the domestic consumer only in the respects of handling customers cash discounts and in the reflection that

 Notices have been sent out to the membership of the forum meeting on Civic Pride, which will be held Friday evening in the Community house. The officials ofs the Chamber of Commerce believe that this is the most opportune time for "a meeting of this kind. for without civic pride community is not progressive. To make our city one that is truly going forward by the develop ment of those subjects as indicated by the programme of work of the chamber, to arouse the necessary enthusiasm of our people and our children to the fact that Norwich is a city that can and must take it's place, in competition with oth- CT live cities, if it is to even hold it's present status; in word to have faith in the future of The Rose of New Eng land" is the consummation of civic pride.

UNSETTLED. RAIN TODAY;
 FAIR TOMORROW

The transportation committee of the Chamber of Commerce will make earnest efforts to have the proper development of the Thames river to Norwich consid- cred at Washington, plans of which were made known a few days ago. As these plans now stand, a 200 it. wide and 20 ft deep channel is proposed to Allyn Point, but beyond that nothing is stated positively except that the same width to Norwich is proposed and that $22, ,000 has been named in the appropriations for this work. The committee is of the opinion that depth of 20 feet is of more importance to Norwich than a width of 200 feet, and will endeavor to have the river given that depth. To that end the committee immediately busted itself to secure the co-operation of U. S. Senators Frank B. Brandegee and George P. Mclean and Congressman Richard P. Freeman to secure this inn provement of the river. The present depth of the channel at Norwich is but 12 feet with a tidal depth of 14 feet, which is not sufficient to carry modern coal barge or freighter.
 The development of water transporta- tion is essential to the progress of the city and it is felt that if Norwich can obtain 20 foot channel it will add inn mensely to her transportation facilities If the plans, as made known cannot be changed this year, the committee will exert it's efforts for favorable action next year.
