Questions and Answers

by diet. Lotions and salves that VIII
give relief from the itching, and m
fiammation are good for local appnca-
tions, but real relief must come from
within. Most authorities agree that
the dietary treatment of eczema should
be In general as follows: Meat snoulo
be discontinued, milk should be USED
very sparingly If at all, and vegetables
such as peas, beans and lentiis snouio
be depended upon for protein. Cereals
should also be used for their proten
value. Often there Is some special 1000
that causes the trouble. This Is most
often some form of protein. Those
most frequently causing trouble are
the prote1ns of eggs. meat, milk ana
wheat When you find out what the
offending food is eliminate 1t from your
diet.
Strict intestinal cleanliness must be
maintained at all times, and when
diet that gives best results has been
found stick to 1t vigorously until the
eruption or acute symptoms have dis
appeared. If your eczema Is OF long
standing and you have found that your
own methods do you little or no good

mental tests what type or kinds OF
foods do not agree with you. Consult
good skin specialist and get his ad-

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

October 5, IS62.-President Lincoln
was back in the White House TINS
morning after his visit to Gen. NC
Clellan on the battlefield OF Antletam,
He returned last night.
Four days ago the President left
Washington on a special train. He was
accompanied by Maj. Gen. McClernand
and that officers staff; Mr.. !'amon'
marshal of the District OF Columbia,
and Mr.. Garrett, president OF the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad Co.
The presidential party stopped flrst
at Harpers Ferry, where the members
visited Gen. Sumner in his headquar-
tiers. The next day, which was Thurs
dav. they recrossed the Potomac River
into Maryland and called upon Gen
| Mcclellan at his field headquarters.
Most of Thursday was spent in going
over the region where the great battle
was fought between the Union Army,
under Gen. Mcclellan, and the Con-
| federate Army, under Gen. Lee, along
Antietam Greek and at SharpSburgr
Md, last month.
President Lincoln devoted long time
| to private conversation with Gen. NC
| Clellan. It is understood from those
close to the President that he urged
| Gen. Mcclellan to make every possible
effort to pursue Gen. Lees army across
! the Potomac River into Virginia, IN
order to bring on another and more
decisive battle and possibly end the wal
quickly, :.
It is no secret that Mr.. Lincoln is
disturbed by the inaction of Mcclellan
since the battle of Antietam. 1t Is be-
lieved by some military authorities here
that Lee is already too far away to be
forced into battle, unless Mcclellan is
willing to fight on battlefield OF Lees
own choosing.
Starting back to Washington on his
special train yesterday Saturday morn
ing, President Lincoln passed through
Frederick, Md, and saw the regior
where some of the early Skirmishe!
leading up to the battle of Antietan
occurred. On his return to this city
the President was declared to be "highl!
gratified with his trip"
The gunboat Yankee arrived here a
10 o'clock this morning from the lowel
Potomac River and tied up at the Nav.
Yard. She brought a small Confeder
ate sloop, captured below the Yeo
comico River, which is Virginia trlb
ultary of the Potomac River near thu
rivers mouth. The sloop was ladel
with a full assortment of contrabanC
articles much needed in the South.
Five Confederate prisoners wer
brought up by the Yankee, including
Capt. Edward Tayloe of the 9th Vir
GINA Cavalry, who was captured in ful
uniform in his house, near Budd'
Point.

Lately I have had several bad attacks
of hiccoughs. Could you tell me what
causes it and what measures are best
for relief?-MisS S. G.
There are several possible causes Tor
hiccoughs. One is eating too fast,
especially If you are tired when you
begin to eat. Another is swallowing
large pieces of unchewed food. This
is very frequent cause, or again, hic-
coughs may be caused from indiges-
ton arising from the fermentation Of
food in the stomach.
Drinking a glass of cold water will
sometimes give almost instant relief.
There are some people, however, that
think the quickest relief comes from
slipping a glass or cup Of hot water.
If hiccoughS come only after eating
they are probably caused by eating too
fast or not properly chewing the food
which, of course, can be corrected by a
little care.
For years I have had a form of
eczema that breaks out in various parts
Of my body. mostly on my arms and
legs. I have tried all kinds of ONT
ments and salves, ETC., but with only
temporary success. Lately have been
told that this can be corrected by diet

If is very difficult to watch the gath

testify that 1t requires real strength OF
character to maintain a feeling OF neu-
