It slam s' hers through the summer and breaks L2& oat in winter. The head, feet and hands ' ?re tbte parts most often attacked, though It sometimes aimearsoil other parts of the tletls. while the Itching", and burning- is t times almost unbearable. Scratching: only makes it worse, sores and scabs ! lonning where the skin is broken. In this, form of Eczema brownish white crusts sometimes -. form which scale off SKIM CRACKS ia fine particles, tearing the skin raw AMD BLEEDS and inflamed. It is especially painful and severe when con fined to the bands, which often become so badly affected that the sufferer is unable to perform the lightest work. This, like all other types of Eczema, is doe to acid poisons in the blood and not to local causes.' The trouble is more than skia deep, and washes, soaps, powders and salves nor anvthine else applied to the surface can possibly do more than soothe the burning and itching or relieve tempo rarily the inflammation and pain. It is the acids thrown off by the blood and which are forcing their way through the pores that cause the skin to harden, crack and bleed, and produce the irrita tion and soreness S. S. S. neutralizes these acid poisons and cleanses the Mood of all irritating , sub stances and humors and does it, promptly and effectually. S. S. S. urines and invigorates the thin acid blood, and builds up the entire sys tem ; then the unsightly eruption and sores heal, the skin becomes smooth and soft, and all signs of tne Eczema disappear.

' No man who cares anything for the future Of the Republican party In Ore gon will lend himself to thia - brass -n attempt to "disregard : the popular Mandate. FOR DIRECT PRIMARIES. On Sunday morning the Statesman published in full the profited bill for a direct primary law, ' prepared by a ct,mmritt;e duly,, appointed jse-eral nonths ago. : : i A cory of the .Stiitcsman cmlaining thif proposed bill has Ieen sent to ach member of the f Oregon J-gis!a- turn U convene iu this city on Mon- lay nexL . - : . .'.- The Statesman believes this bill oughf to be parsed ami made the law of the state, dl Is plaid and Mrtiple.

THREADBARE EXCUSE EXPLODED A voice from the 'tombs, over the signature of W. I Adams, of Hood River, In a - communication to the Oregonjan, has this bit of lucidity: '" "Was It Intended by the author of the Mays law that if Jo Simon . or any other man should foist hlsy - name on the ballot Without notice to other aspirants, the 10,000 or 12,000 given him, bound the Legis lature : to elec him regardless of " their own or their 1 constituents wishes? ' -! What f the intention of the author of the Mays law" was is not the question!, and , was not the question with th'a - - . i -oters of Oregon. Mr. Geer did not foist his name on the ticket, but it Was pat there by the petition of 3,000 voter of Oregon according to that feature of tbelaw which the Legislature added to it by way of perfecting it.: He gave due notice to other aspirants in the most public manner and even request ed them to go before the people with him. He did not " merely -- receive 10.000 or 12,00 given him." but 45,000, and It was not against the "wishes" of any one's constituents. ilr. Adams adds that if from Gover nor Geers popular vote "all the vote? that should have been given to Simon. Fulton, et at. if their names had been on the ballot, and all the Democratic votes - that were cast for him to put the Republicans In a. hole," - where would his vote have been? The, Statesman can't say, indeed. It can't. ; It only knows that they did not go r the ticket, and that Governor Geer did, andMhat in an open field he had the courage- to go before the peo ple for their suffrages and got them. That's enough for any man who be lieves in the popular election of Sen a tors. " The threadbare excuse for disregard ing the popular expression that Dem ocrats voted for Geer in large number? In order to "put the Republican's In a hole," Is fully exploded by the fact, that Mil. WOOD KECI2I VED 2.WK. MORE VOTES THAN THE AVER AGE VOTE OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET. ,The; Republican memlers of the Leg islature , would better think 1 a long while before deciding to - ignore the popular, vote for U. S. Senator. - The Statesman wishes to remark that; there has been no more dangerous proposi tion made to the Republican party of Oregon for a decade than this one to turn down the people merely beca.u?w their votes have not pointed in a par ticular direction nor for the benefit of a particular person or clique. One les son Should be enough. , A COUNT OF ACCOUNT. AH hail the name of Taeggt Count Taeggi. an Italian Inventor. G've the devil his' due and Italy credit for pro ducing some of, the ablest electricians of current history. Taeggi has invent ed what he calls' the electric post. He is in London explaining the thing, to the postal authorities there. In press Interviews he has given more details of his scheme than have been furnish ed by the cable. ' Taeggi "says he will forward .letters at the rate of 'from 200 to ZV miles an hour. Wires will be erected at an alti tude corresponding pretty nearly to that of the tebgraph wires at present. They: wilt be in the form of aerial rail ways, two wires forming a track.' On these lines will be run miniature car riages : propelled by electricity. The whole apparatus will be enclosed. Th wires are to be supported by posts. To avoid collision between the cars and the poles the wires will rest on arms projecting from uprights. There will b two main lines, one for Incoming and the other for outgoing letters, and all cities and towns would be served by them. Radiating from the large towns there will be lines to the smaller towns In direct communication 'with the main line. ! All you will have' to do is to drop a stamped letter into any one of the many posts and the invention will do the rest- Within the poles there will be an invention to stamp the letters i What Is the use of telllog the rhepmatlc that be feels as if his Joints were being dlE-. located? , ,' I lie kuows that Lis "suffprinss. are very much like the tortoies of the rir!t. . .": Yfhnt he vtnit tf a-ntMe- H .what will per msnently cure his lla"e. : - That, accordirg to thousawJs of grateful testimonials, is .

That was what they said last spring, but how we have a Democratic Governor as -a result. If it possible that Uie Eepublican iarty is not to learn anything until it' shall lose everything? -'The Statesman merely wants jt,o remind the Republi can members of the Legislature that the people DO cut Ice,. and that if any sort of common sense prevails in party counsels their vote of last June wil cot a large amount of ice n the Sen atorial election. 'It was this "disre- ... , , . gard of the "popular mandate" last spring " that should teach us a lesson at this time. No' party has a cinch on the people. They' have the last say at the Ice cut ting business. . A GREAT HONOR. Among the news, dispatches of a few days ago was one to the effect that ; Booker T. Wxishington, the cof ored scholar and leader of his race. had delivered an address at one of the Caliorniafi tovvns. 'and that, the bankr and most of the business houses hac closed for the occasion. Thirty; oi twenty, or even ten , years go wio would' have predicted that within-two generations of the close of .the war such an honor would be shown one of Booker Washington's race as, that a community would take a day ofT to, hear him speak.

THEY SPURN SUCH AID. The good women of Toledo, Ohio, held a bazaar recently for the purpose of maintaining nurses at one of the local hospitals. One of the most active workers for the success of the fair was the wife of a theatrical manager. Through, her efforts a large number of fine dolls were given byisome of the most prominent- actresses in the coun try. They commanded fancy prices at the booths where they were sold. The ,Vzaar was a success. The sum realiz ed was large.; The money was turned over to the promoters of the bazaar and a as accepted. . . - .'-"''" ; .''"' - Then an idea occurred to somf one connected with the organization. It was that the money secured through the assistance of the actresses ought to 'jc retumed--that the acceptance of it j savored of sacrilege. It was decided to rttorn the money. It was not done by unanimous action by any means. In fact it has split the organization into two parts. People v.ill differ in their notions about things. r . .

The building was started. Before it was half finished the pro moters found themselves out of funds. The man who had offered to give of his misbegotten wealth, Was approached 'and told that the Association had thought the matter over and it guessed it would accept his subscription. But he then refused to make good his orlg- nal offer. It took a long time to make up the needed amount, which was much less than this one would-be subscriber had offered. The good women of Toledo have simply reversed this they first accept ed and then rejected. If the money is returned to the givers of the dolls , or to the purchasers it is not made, clear in the news which It is to be whoever gets it is that much ahead, and the ntrrse's fund is that much behind, and theft- you are.
