I I I it 1 UNCLE' SAM'S WAY OF DOING IT. How He Wishes All the World a Happy New Year. AT midnight Undo Snm wishes nil tho world a hnppy New Yeiir. JTm. The tick of the time signal In strument In tho United GtntcH naval observatory at Washington flashes America's greeting to tho nn tlons ot tho world. This sending forth of a New Year greeting Is sentimental in Its naturo portions, but It is practical In Its lllus tratlou of the accurate tlmo servlca that has been adopted by tho United States and tho organization of n stand ard tlmo schedule In this country, which It Is hoped some day will extend throughout tho world. So these New Tear greetings of Uncto Sam's, which liavo become nn annual font lire of tho national observatory, glvo nn object lesson to tho nations that may lead to as great n reform In n universal tlmo system as 1'opo Gregory Instituted In tho correction of tho Julian calendar. The first of theso Now Ycnr messages was sent out In 1003, tho telegraph companies entering Into tho project with great Interest and energy. Tho signals wcro transmitted at midnight and 1, 2 and n n. m.f so Hint each great section of the country received Us own midnight signal direct from tho naval observatory. So successfully was tho plan carried out nnd so general was tho Interest In It that It was decided to mnko It n feature thereafter. Bomo of tho messages sent out on theso occasions aro received In nn In credibly short time. Tor Instance, the tlmo signal last year was received nt Bydncy, Australia, In two and one fourth seconds; at Madras, India, In n fraction moro than flfty-thrcc seconds; at Capo Town, Africa, In two minutes and tlilrty-llvo seconds; nt Madrid, Spain, in two nnd ono-half minutes; nt Lick observatory, Mount llnmllton, California, In twenty-four one-huu dredths of a second, nnd nt Harvard observatory, Cambridge, lt ouo-tenth of a second. Tho Importnnco of this tlmo service Is evidenced by tho fact that It fur nlshes nlmolsto standard time for not only navigators nt ntt tho chief seaports of tho United States, hut for tho entire country except tho Pacific const, which receives n similar service from the naval observatory nt tho Mare Island yard. When It Is understood that Ihu service Is rendered nt no expound whnt over to the government, being merely Incidental to tho work required for the rating of chronometers for uiivnl ves sels, tho results attained will appear nil tho moro acceptable. The time slgunl Is sent out dally nt noon on seventy fifth meridian ,tlmo, with an nvenigu error for tho year of only fifteen hun dredths of n second. Tho signal got- over tho wire of tho various telegraph and telephone companies, regulating eighteen government tlmu balls nnd 40,000 public nnd prlrnto clocks throughout tho country. Tho accuracy required In tho opern Hon mny be appreciated when It Is known that tho minutest fractions of seconds aro shnved Into lullnlteslmal quantities that nlmost rival the twin kling of tho hair splitting timekeeper or ancient India.

It really seems strange that so many people suffer year in and year out with eczema, when it Is now no longer a se cret that oil of wintergreen mixed with thymol, glycerine, etc., makes a wash that Is bound to cure. Old, obstinate caies, it is true, can not be cured in a few days, but there is absolutely no sufferer from eciema who ever used this simple wash and did not find ImaMdUUly that won. derfully soothing, calm, cool sensation that comes when the itch is taken away. Instantly upon applying a few drops of the wash the remedy takes effect, the Itch is allayed. There is no need of experiment the patient knows at one. Instead ol trying to compound the oil of wintergreen, thymol, glycerine, etc, in the right proportions ourselves we are using a prescription which is universally found the most effective. It is known at the D. D. D, Prescrip tion, or Oil of Wintergreen Compound. It is made by the D. D. D. Co. of Chi- cago, and our long experience with this remedy has given us great confi dence in its merit. ST. JOHNS PHARMACY For Lame Back.
