If yoiPi* skin seems ablaze with
the fiery burning- and itching of

only -come from treatment that
goes below the surface — that
reaches down to the very source
of the trouble. Skin-diseases come
from a disordered condition of the
blood, and search far and near.
you cannot find a blood remedy
that approaches S. S. S. for real

A petition signed by-182 citizens,
and asking that the Ouninissinn sub
mit tt> the voters of the city the qties-
tbm of the city building and o|H‘rat-
ing a municipal light and ]>ower plant,
was presented to the Pity Commission
in regular weekly session last evening
b.v -1. S. O'Neal.
The petition did not mention the
methyl «f raising funds with which to
build jthe plant. It reads as follow's
“We.-the undersigned taxpayers of the
city, do must rcsjiectfull.v jietUioAyoiir
honorable body to submit a proposition
to build a municipal light and .power
plant,"
The petition was received by the
Commission. and on motion, City Man-
ager O. J. Kllingson was instructed
to unike a full investigation of the
building anil o|ierathTg

earliest possible date.
The Commission also considered n
petition filial by Tom Whitson, Bob
Pasehall and others, asking that, the
city ordinance regulating the opera-
tion of jitneys In the city be a mended.
After a discussion of the ordinance,
however, it was decided that the pe-
titioners were laboring itmler misinfor-
mation on the ordliimiee. as the pres-
I cut oritiimnce does not prohibit the
operation of jitneys, but merely regu-
| lutes their operation, and makes their
ow ners liable for damages In ease of
accident. In’ the same manner that
railroads and traction companies are
liable.
Concrete Fence to lie Built.
Materials have Is-eir ordered for the
construction of a concrete fence about
the n'hleti' field In Kiild-Ke.v Park.
Gity Manager O. .T, H. Kllingson re-
ported to the commission in his regular
w>ekl.v report. Tlje fact that a fence
w II be tiullt upon (tils field will be
lei.rued with general approval, it is
bofteve.t. as theft1 lias been consider-
able agitation In favor of providing a
permanent fencing about the field.
The fence, it was stated, will enclose
the field that is being finished just
north of Pecan street. Including base-
ball diamond, football grldiron, and
oval track.
In the engineering department, the
greater portion ,nf the time was spent
| in surveying land for park purposes in

were set in Kidd-Key park for that
I portion of same which will ho used for

When they break down under the

These sharp crystals tear and scratch
the delicate urinary channels causing

Washington. Juno 3.--Attempts on
tho life of AitcnWy General Palmer
were made last night through the
planting of a homh which wrecked the
lower portion of the Palmer residence
in the fashionable northwest ststion
of Washington. Mr. Palmer and all
mom tiers of his familv eseaped with-
out injury, being on the second floor
at the time of the explosion.
One mail thought to be the person
who planted the homh, was blown to
hits by the force of the explosion.
Police believe that the homh explod-
ed prematurely before it could he plac-
ed under the house.
The homh. the police said, was con-
tained in a suit ease, filled with cloth-
ing of the man kilted, it was said, in-
dicated that hr was joughly clad.
'The force of tig; explosion Wap suf-
ficient to shatter window glass in resi-
dences for a block on each side of the
Palmer home. The residence of Sen-
ator Swanson of Virginia, next door
to that of the Attorney ''General, was
not hudljf damaged.
Mayor’s House Bombed.
Cleveland. Ohio, Time 3.—An at-
tempt was made Jo blow up the home

four Fingers are untrained
Hand* ef the Average Man Crippled,
at Demonstrated by the Ther-
apy Expert \
“I suppose you regard yourself as
a whole man,” demanded one of the
vocational therapy experts at the War-
ren Ileed general hospital Iff Washing?
ton, writes Samuel Hopkins Adams In
the lted Cross Magazine.
Looking myself over hnstlly to make
sure that I had not lost anything In
the 'surgical ward, I replied that I
could count the usual number of arms,
legs, and other appurtenances.
“All right,” said the expert, “bill
you’re sort of a cripple at that You’re
atrophied."
“If I am, I’ve never discovered It,” I
assured him.
“Of course not. People never, do
until they’re shown. You haven’t got
anything like the full nse of more than
four fingers, and two thumbs out of a
total of ten. The normal man—the
mah who believes himself normal, I
mean—never has. Can you light a
safety match with one hand?”
Be handed me the box and the
match. After the second abortive at-
tempt the match fell on the floor and
the box fell on the match.
“That’s elementary, that stunt,” re-
marked the instructor. “Our one-arms
can do that before they get out of bed.
You see, your two smaller Angers are
really cripples. Now we tench our fel-
lows to do the work with those Angers
that you hnve to use another hand for.
That’s the whole physical principle of
our training In its simplest form—
substitution.”
The Workman Behind the Sword!
It takes skill and strength to work
all day in a shop or factory. Many
a man is fighting just as hard
behind the lines as did the toys at
the front. But when a man (or
woman) has to meet .the attack of
the influenza bacilli—ten to one he
will hr.vo a tjbae ah'ave if.hfe kidneys
are not right. Influenza and Grippe
often cause arv inflammation of the
kidneys—either at time of attack or
afterward. It 'is due to nature’s
effort to throw off the poisons.
When you are troubled with back-
ache, or headache—when your kid-
neys get sluggish and dog, you
must relieve them, as well as your
bowels. Ward off serious troubles
at once by obtaining at the drug
store an anti-uric-acid tablet, first
discovered, by Dr. Pierce, and called
“ Anuric. ” This will flush the
bladder and kidneys, and it is well
to drink plenty of hot water, or
better sti.', hot lemonade. Take
occasional iiose3 (two dr three times
a week) of a natural purgative,
made up of AIa/-kpple, leaves of
aloe, jalap, and rolled into a tiny,
sugar-coated pill, to be had at all
drug stores, as'Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. Often this treatment will
ward off the influenza. After the Grippe, when the man or woman
lacks snapp or energy, is pale and weak, he or she should take a good
iron tonic for the blood, such as “Irontic” Tablets, made by Dr. Pierce,
or his herbal tonic so long and favorably known as Golden Medical
Discovery. Next to going to the woods to build up your health is this
discovery of Doctor Tierce’s, made from wild roots and barks from !
American forest trees, and without a [*rticle of alcohol in its make-up. 4

These are the days when the effi-

that we measure up to the average in
human Intelligence by answering cer-
tain complicated questions in u given
number of seconds. Here is one you
can try on yourself when nobcily Is

have solved it go and try it on some-
body else, not forgetting to remind
him that you did it in three seconds
and that three seconds is the time
limit.
Outline a square on paper nnd then
divide it into ten triangles each of
which is equal to one ninth of the
total sum or area represented by the
other nine triangles.
Three seconds is the limit, so go to

A few seconds or minutes over will

There is a much closer connection
between the stomach and brain than
most people imagine. It is because of
thiB close connection that indigestion,
belching, eour, gassy stomach and
other stomach miseries—all of whieh
are sure signs of acid stomach—are so
often followed by severe attacks of
blinding, Bplitting headaches.
Nervousness, sleeplessness, irritabil-
ity, mental depression,melancholia and
many other disorders whifch affect tho
brain can also nearly always be traced
to the same source—acid-stomach.
• So often you hear^pi
or “It seems I never get go
people say “X am
’ll fly to pieces;1’
w*t a good night’s
so nervous I think
getagood nigt:
sleep any more, my nerves are all no
edge.” Little do they dream that t.cid
stomach is the direct cause of their
troubles because very often there are
no pains in the stomach at all. So you
see, you can’t always judge an acid-
sfomacb condition by the way your
stomach, itself, feels.
If you are weak, nervous, unfit—if
you are not up to your old time form
—if yon lack your accustomed enthu-
siasm, energy and pep—make this test
and see if it isn’t acid-stomach that ia
ful modern medicine that so quickly
puts an acid stomach to rights. It is
m the form of pleasant tasting tablets
that yon eat like a bit ot candy.
EATONIC »ids tho stomach of esoeso
acid. Brings instant relief from Indi-
gestion, heartburn, sour belching, food
repeating, bloat and gas and makes
the stomach cool, pure, sweet and
comfortable.
Dentists warn ns ngainBt the bad
effects of acid mouth, pointing out
that the acid eats througn the enamel
of tho teeth, cansiag them to decay.
You can easily imagine then the
amount of damage excess acid will
cause to the delicate organization ot
the stomach!
of People are usinj-
EATON IC and the results obtained ar >
so remarkable as to be almost unbe-
lievable. Yet their letters of gratitude,
many of which are received daily.
prove absolutely that EATONIC does
all and even more than we claim. The
medical profession, too, recognizes tho
great value of this wonderful remedy.
A learned Michigan debtor wrote re-
cently: ‘‘I have had such wonderfnl
success with EATONIC that I want
every one to know how quickly it will
neutralize the acidity of the the stom-
ach (acid-stomach) and tho stomach
will soon be sweet snd normal again,
and the sick man wall and bapny
once more.1' «
So he sure to get a big box of
EATONIC from your druggist today.
If it fails in any way to give yon tha
kiud of satisfaction you watt, take it
back—he will refund ybur money. He
doesn’t want onepenny of your money
unless EATONIC helps you.
