WHY SALVES FAIL TO CURE ECZEMA Since the old-fashioned theory of curing eczema through the blood has been glyen up by scientists, many different salves have been tried for skin diseases. But it has been found that these salves only clog the pores and can not penetrate , to the inner skin below the epidermis where the eczema germs are lodged. This the quality ' of penetrating probably explains the tremendous success of the only standard liquid eczema cure, oil of Wlntergreen, thymol, glycerine, etc.. as compounded in D. D. Prescription. - ; , After ten years of cure after cure, we ourselves do not hesitate to recommend D. D. D. Prescription at 1.00 a bottle. But for the benefit of those who have never tried the prescription, we arranged with the D. D. D. Laboratories of Chicago for a special largo trial bottle at 25 cents on a special offer now. This first 25 cent bottle ought to convince every sufferer; perhaps it will effect a complete cure (as it has in some cases) ; at any rate, it will surely take away the itch at once.

There is a tract on the Ganges. 6G0 miles by 200. of which tbe chief farming industry is the growth of opium. China produces 230,000.000 pounds of opium yearly, and large quantities are grown in Turkey. Egypt and Persia. The seed vessel of the poppy is as big - as a hen's egg. In India the plant is sown in November, and the harvest is ready in March. The jnlce is got by scratching the seed heads. This is all done by hand labor and invariably in the afternoon. A little opium poppy is still grown In England. ' Great art is requisite in making at toys.

HOW EYESTOIIES ACI Their Movements When Placed In Lime Juice or Vinegar.

HAVE APPEARANCE OF LIFE. Their Motion Is Caused by : Carbonic ' Acid Gas Evolved by Contact With the Liquid Acid The CUansing Process In a Journey Over the Eyeball. The druggist took a small bottle from a drawer and emptied from it a few tiny objects that looked like flat, round bits of polished bone. He picked up one and banded it over for Inspection. One side of it , was marked with numerous concentric grooves. "That is an eyestone," said the draggist. He poured a tablespoonfnl or so of liquid out of a bottle Into a saucerlike dish and diluted it with water. "And this," said he,' is a weak solution of lime juice.' The druggist' took one of the eyestones and placed It in the solution. Presently it began to move as if It were alive. It made its

things. But there is no more life in an eyestone than there is in a paving stone. It is composed of calcareous material and when placed in the solutions named is made to move about by carbonic acid gas, which is evolved by contact with the liquid acid. "These little stones and all genuine eyestones once were the front doors, so to speak, of the shells of a little molluscous animal that lives along the

South American east coasts. The shell. P in 1909- f M. German strikes of that little creature is a univalve, j or higher wages, 255 were successful, This calcareous formation Is on the 488 partly so and 676 failed. The Gertlp end of the mollusk. and when it man trade unions disbursed on ac-

"The natives collect these little mollusks In large numbers for no other purpose than to secure the eyestones, as we call them, and they hold them in great awe, believing them to possess supernatural attributes. Sailors on the vessels engaged in the fruit trade with those regions obtain the stones from the natives and bring them here for sale to tbe wholesale druggists, and there was a time when the demand for them generally was quite large. "There is nothing better to remove foreign substances from tbe eye than one of these South American eyestones. .which use is what gives them their name. Many people, think that ; before using them it Is necessary to put them in vinegar to ' give them life., but it Is not necessary at all. The stoie is inserted at one corner of the eye, with tbe grooved side next to the lid. The pressure of the eyeball forces it to move about In the eye. and tbe grooves collect the foreign matter and retain it. After making a thorough circuit of the eye tbe stone will come out at the corner next to the nose. No Inconvenience Is caused by Its presence. ' , . , "There are other eyestones. In the head of our common crawfish there are two little bones, just back of and beneath the eyes, which resemble the South American eyestones, about the only difference being that they are smooth all over Instead of grooved on one side. These crawfish bones are known as eyestones and are used as such In the west, but they have none of tbe virtues of the real eyestone Their proper name is crab stones. In Poland. and parts of Russia quite a trade Is found in tbe collecting of these crab stones. The crawfish are taken and burled in deep pits, where tbey are left to die and rot. The refuse Is then washed and . the stones' are picked out. .' Tbey are not used in those countries as eyestones, but are taken Internally, faith in their benefi cent stomachic properties being great.' New York Press. , Only One Message.

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound? We can furnish positive proof that it has made many remarkable cures after all other means had failed. .

ARTISTIC JAPAM. Rules of Harmony Prevail In Even tne Humblest Hemes, - By far the greatest charm of Japan and her people lies not only la the fact that the artists know the secret of the most wonderful carvings, eastings, wood and metal work, silken brocades ami tapestries, exquisite cloisonnes and porcelains, things for the fortunate few, but also in the farther and more Important fact that the daily life of the poor is surrounded, permeated, interfused by taste and refinement. "Even the workmen in their gardens and homes are daily using tasteful domestic implements which are the outgrowth of the thought and . needs of the people. t ' The designs and proportions of the humblest houses, exteriors and interiors, are settled for all time by certain rules of harmony; the dress of the peasant Is not left to possible hideous individual caprice, but follows estab llsued canous of color, cut and usage; the garden, however small, the fence or paling that walls it . In, the root over tbe well, over the gate, the greet lantern that hangs by the door, tbe bucket in which water Is fetched and the bamboo dipper from which it is poured, the bronxe brasler for coals, tbe tea service all these and a thousand more details of daily life are arranged according to a pattern which may be very old. but which, as a re

sult, adds immeasurably to the satisfaction of life. ; ' And yet Japanese craftsmen, while holding hard by tradition, have not failed to add to their work the subtle touch of personality. In the motifs of their delicately Impressionistic and symbolical designs Is constantly seen their reverence for the early masters, and as constantly is perceived the individual variation which prevents each piece of work from having a duplicate.
