WHY SALVES FAIL TO CURE ECZEMA

Scientists axe now agreed that the eczema germs are lodged not in the outer skin or epidermis, but in the inner skin. Hence, a penetrating liquid, not an outward salve that clogs the pores.

We recommend to all eczema patients that standard prescription Oil of Wintergreen as compounded In liquid form known as D. D. D. Prescription. A trial bottle of this D D. D. Prescription, at only 25 cents, will Instantly relieve the itch. We have sold and recommended this remedy for years, and know of wonderful cures from its use. We recommend it to our patrons. B. F.

TRAINS BURIED BY SNOWSLIDE

Cars Fall 150 Feet and 50 Persons Are Killed. RESCUERS RECOVER 23 BODIES • \ Fifteen or Twenty Persons Were In < Jured and Twenty-Five Are Missing—Great Havoc In the Northwest. Fifty lives were lost in the avalanche that carried two Great Northern trains into a canyon near Wellington, Wash. The cars fell 150 feet and were buried by debris. The town of Wellington and the Great Northern powet house were not destroyed. Most of the dead are believed to have been passengers on the westbound Great Northern express bound from Spokane to Seattle, which has been stalled in the mountains since last Thursday. They were asleep when the slide came. The other train was the transcontinental fast mail, which carried no passengers. Twenty three bodies have been recovered, fifteen or twenty are injured, and twenty-five are missing. The two trains were under the charge ol Conductors Parzybook and Pettit, both of Everett. The private car of Superintendent O’Neill of the western division of the Great Northern was attached to ths express and burled with the rest of the train. It Is feared A E. Longcoy, private secretary to Superintendent O’Neill, Is among the dead. O’Neill, who has been directing the fight against the snow blockade for the last ten days, .was not in the car at the time and escaped injury? Conditions almost unprecedented have virtually cut off the entire northwest, and have tied up traffic on half a dozen transcontinental railroads. Thaws in the mountains have caused avalanches and snow slides that have swept away mountain towns and sections of railroad tracks from Nevada to British Columbia. Floods also have caused widespread damage. The exact number of deaths caused by avalanches in the Rockies, In Idaho, and in western Montana probably will not be known until the summer sun melts the great masses of snow and ice in the canon into which several mining towns were swept

GENERAL STRIKE ALARMS

Philadelphia Business Men Stirred Up Over the Situation. As the time draws near for the general strike of all organized labor in Philadelphia in support of the trolley men the pressure being brought to bear on the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company to submit the question at issue to arbitration is becoming stronger. The menace of a general strike and the consequent prostration of practically all lines of industry have aroused business men and employers of labor and the efforts to have the company accept arbitration were renewed with vigor.

The ultimatum by the Rapid Transit directors that “the company has not changed and will not change in any manner its attitude with respect to arbitration already outlined in its reply to the Ministers’ association” has not disheartened those working for peace. While efforts for peace are made organized labor is going ahead with arrangements to carry out the general strike order of the Central Labor union. Some unions, however, are not enthusiastic as to calling the sympathetic walk-out, because of trade agreements, and the indications are that the general strike order will not be obeyed unanimously.

SNOWSLIDES ADD THIRTY NEW NAMES

Relief Party Perishes Is Now Report. 100 DEAD IS ESTIMATE Arriving Survivors Tell Startling Tales of Recent Disaster. BODIES OF DEAD DISMEMBERED Floods Now Add Terror to the Distressing Conditions. Everett, Wash., March 4—Thirty persons in the rescue party at the scene of the Cascade mountain snow slide disaster, perished in a new avalanche according to reports received at the offices of the Great Northern. Floods threaten the valleys of the Cascades and add terror to the situation. Eighteen feet of snow on the western, slope of the mountains and eight feet on the eastern slope is being melted by the warm winds from the sea. The rivers cannot carry away the deluge impending. It is believed the most widespread flood in the last twenty years threatens the valley. It is now estimated that at least 100 persons have been swept to their deaths by the avalanche at last Tuesday. The survivors now arriving from the scene tell startling tales of their experiences. Passenger-filled coaches were carried 200 and 300 feet and in some instances 1,000 feet down the mountain side into gorges and buried under snow and debris. Not a ray of hope remains of rescuing alive a single one of the imprisoned In the cars buried deep. Thirty bodies nearly all mutilated beyond identification are lying on the snow-covered mountainside. Men who have come from the wreck say that the first intimation the passengers had of their danger was when the snow swept down upon them and lifted the cars bodily in the air and then dropped them over the precipice. The exact number of dead will not be known for weeks. Workmen digging in the snow and wreckage report the finding of dismembered bodies, severed arms and hands.
