VICKS“w»<SALVE How to Heal Skin Diseases A Baltimore doctor suggests this simple, but reliable and inexpensive, home treatment for people suffering with eczema, ring worm, rashes and similar itching, burn ing skin troubles. At any reliable druggist’s get a jar of resi’il ointment and a cake of resi- nol soap. These are not at all expen sive. With the resinol soap and warm water bathe the affected parts thor oughly, until they are free from crusts and the skin is softened. Dry very gently, spread on a thin layer of the resinol ointment, and cover with a light bandage—if necessary to protect the clothing. This should be done twice a day. Usually the distressing itching and burning stop with the first treatment, and the skin soon becomes clear and healthy again.

I be came run down, fell off in weight and was at that point when I thought I would have to stop my work as saw filer at the Cedar Creek Saw Mill Co. I had used about everything and had called in my doctor, but all to no avail. After seeing your advertisement in the newspaper, I made up my mind to try Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root as a last re sort. After three months’ treatment I passed a gravel stone and at the end of one year’s treatment, I was positively cured of all kidney troubles. After taking the first bottle I could sleep at night. Now I am perfectly healthy and I hon estly believe Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root to be a thorough cure for kidney trouble. I will allow you to publish this where it may aid others who are suffering and in closing I wish to thank you for my present good health. Yours very truly, A. M. WILLIAMSON, Brewton, Ala.

Winnipeg, Man. —A slight little man, with a small, lean frame, keen features and iron gray hair, stood in the door of a box car at the stock yards. He wore yellow overalls and a coat to match. Little feet, encased in square-toed, custom-made shoes, pro truded from beneath his trousers, in fact, he looked like a stock yard at tendant, and yet he is renowned throughout America, for this was A. A. ("Scotty”) Allan, the world’s great est dog driver. With Lieutenant Haas of the French army, he was passing through Win nipeg with 400 malamutes from Nome, Alaska, to be used in France this winter for dispatch service and the transportation of supplies and ammunition to the firing line. A stop whs made here to rest the dogs, and they were unloaded into the stock yards with a guard from the Seventy ninth (Cameron) Highlanders to watch over them. Thrice out of eight times "Scot ty” Allan has won the All-Alaska sweepstakes, the greatest long-dis tance dog race in the world —408 miles from Nome to Candel and return. In three instances he was second and twice he was third. “I have been in every race yet held," he said, “and I have not run out of the money yet.” In the first race which he won the stake was SII,OOO, but last year the stake had dwindled, because of the pinch from the war, to $3,750. "Scot ty’s” best time in the event has been 76 hours, while the record of 74 hours was made over better trails. Genial Little Scotchman. Geniality and sociability seemed bred in this vigorous little Scotchman, and he is as active as a boy despite his forty-eight years. The kilties on guard had not been on the ground an hour before they were fast friends, and they pressed upon him an invita tion to the dance at the armories. “Ye c’n dance the Hielan’ fling an' hoot for all ye’re worth,” said one red faced youth with the thick burr of the Highlands in his voice, “fer ye ken we have the pipes and ye’ll hae a braw time.” “I hae nae doot o’ it,” said Scotty, and he gave his solemn promise to be on hand. He said he loved the dance. Three cars are used to transport the dogs, and each car is divided Into a series of compartments so that each animal is separated from his neigh bors. There has not been a dog lost since they started. In one car is kept the supplies, consisting of three and one-half tons of sun-dried salmon caught at Kotzebue on the Arctic ocean. Here, too, were stored eight of the long sleds, some of them of the toboggan type, which have been made famous by many authors in the tales of the North. There were also 150 sets of harness, together with several Eskimo "parkas," or reindeer and squirrel skin coats, with a hood that fits snugly over the head in stormy weather. In addition there were sev eral pairs of "mukluks,” or high-wa terproof boots, made of sealskin tops with the hair exposed, and soles made from tough sea lion hides. Price From S3O to SSO. “Scotty" said that he had with him several of the dogs that took part in the All-Alaska stakes. He had refused S2OO for two of these just before he left Nome. Many of the malamutes wore purchased, he said, for as high as S4O and SSO, but on an average the price paid was about S3O. The ani mals, he said, were coming through in fine shape. At first they had been fed on one fish a day, but as they were TM PVT f FTTN fRWIVTGN GEORGIA. getting too fat, this had been reduced । to half a fish daily. < Every dog was tied by a chain to ' the fence of the stock pens and widely : separate from his neighbors. They : were a miscellaneous lot. Allan ex plained that they were mostly “breeds,” but for the most part they were of one type—big, wolflike fel lows, with narrow eyes, ears crooked and pointed, and a long, protruding snout. Some of them weighed as much as 80 or 90 pounds. A remarka ble fact was that several of them were ' of a very marked setter strain, and the great dog driver said there was no better dog in the north country than a setter crossed with a malamute —"that is," he added, “if he gets the malamute feet.” Reliable Old “Irish.” "Ah, Irish, old boy!” he called to one handsome animal, and the dog with the red touches of the Irish setter strain looked up at him with big, soft eyes and wagged its tail in affection ate greeting. When this dog stood up his legs were seen to be long and straight and powerful, and he had large, padded feet. , "I drove this dog in the last sweep stakes,” said “Scotty,” “and he just put ‘ his head into the collar and stayed with me all the way. He’d rather die ’ than quit. The setter strain," he add ( ed, “has got more intelligence and endurance and ambition than any t other breed.” Some of the dogs were pure white: । some were of a brownish color, with round, fat faces and squatty-looking bodies, and there was one pup, a pure Siberian, three months old, that was being taken along as a mascot. He ' had a head shaped like a fox. From nine to sixteen of these dogs are used ' to a sleigh, and the highly prized lead ’ dogs are in a class by themselves. Morayshire, in Scotland, was the home of “Scotty” Allan. He came to ‘ North Dakota with an assignment of ■ thoroughbred horses in 1887, He re ‘ called that his first experience in dog driving was in the Turtle mountain 1 of Manitoba, when he drove a mail route. Subsequently he wandered over ’ the western states, engaged prin -1 cipally in railway building. He helped build the Great Northern railway, 1 and in the spring of 1897 he went to 1 the Klondike in the gold rush, going ' over the Skagway trail, which he helped to build. He is now a member of the hardware firm of Darling & ’ Dean at Nome, and Mrs. Darling, wife of one of his partners, is in i terested financially with him in rac i ing dogs. They have sold 20 of these i dogs to the French government, and have 27 left. i Allan and his assistants are going i only as far as Quebec with the dogs. and on his return he will spend the winter in California —the first winter in almost twenty that he has spent FIRST WOMAN HORSE JUDGE Mggl£ ISE* Ay r WB W I : I Qi | p wjjwW | I ii $ > g - | The first woman to act as a judge 1 at a horse show was Lady Beck of 1 Canada, wife of Sir Adam Beck, who । has been master of the fox hounds ; of the London, Ont., hunt for over a । decade. With James C. Marshall of । New York, she judged the undocked ' saddle horses at the recent horse show i in New York city. , ouside the Arctic circle. He has one daughter, a girl of eighteen, attending the university at Berkeley. There is [ another daughter, aged seventeen, and I a boy of nine. He says that gold mining at Nome is not being conducted on the same scale as formerly. Most of the work is being done by big syndicates work ing with dredges. The war has hit the country hard, and there is not much ready cash in sight. Lieutenant Haas, who will take the ; dogs to France, spent eight years in | the Klondike, and he was eleven ; months in the trenches before he was sent on his mission to Alaska. The explosion of a shell rendered him deaf in one ear.

Lafayette, Ind. —The city of Lafay ette has won a lawsuit, which, in vari ous forms, has been in court the last fifty years. The appellate court has upheld a decision to the effect that the so-called market space, which is now used as a city street in the midst of the business district, belongs to the city. The heirs of Aaron Claspill who sev enty years ago gave the ground to the city for use as a public market, have possession of the ground, asserting that under the terms of the grant the land r. verted to them when the city ceased to use it for the purpose indi cated.

Dooms Widow to One Room. The will of Solomon Bicks, filed for probate, disposing of an estate in ex cess of $5,000, contains the unusual provision that his widow, Mrs. Chana Dora Bicks, of 173 Stanton street, is to receive an income of $lO a week for life “provided she lives in a room alone.” Further on there is a modi fication which permits the widow to have a daughter live with her.

A woman's coffee experience is in teresting.

Then I read an article telling how some one had been helped I by leaving off coffee and drinking Postum and it seemed so pleasant just to read about good health I decided to I try Postum. “I made the change from coffee to Postum and there is such a difference | in me that I don't feel like the same person.
