I then quitthem and tried various ointments and soaps for another two years, but as soon as cold weather came I was asbad off asever, so I finally decided tolet medicine alone, and for twelve or thirteen years did nothing towards curing the Eczema, except bath- ing. This seemed to do about as much good as anything I had tried. During the time I lost about one-half of my hair. Ibegan . S.

I used seven bottles, when I was com- pletely cured, not having a single spot on my body, which before was almost com- pletely covered. F. C. NorRFOLE. 1017 Hackberry St., Ottumwa, Ia. OCCUPY ALL OUTLYING DEFENSES CONFIDENT OF IMMEDIATE VIC- TORY WHEN NEXT GENERAL ASSAULT OCCURS. WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED. The fall of Port Arthur seems im- minent. The detailed reports of the | operations against the positions indi- cate that the prolonged attack is near- ing its end and that the Japanese are now entering upon the last stage of the memorable siege. For the first time the Associated Press correspondent with General Nogi’s army has besn permitted to send dispatches direct from Port Ar- thur and these show ‘that practically all the outlying defemscs are in the hands of the Japancse, who are san- guine of immediate victory. The armies of Oyama and Kuropat- kin still confront each other along the | Shakhe river, inactive except for sii:- mishes and artillery exchenges. PORT ARTHUR IS DOGH: The head, feet and hands are usually the parts affected, though the disease ap- pears on other parts of the body, While ex- ternal applications allay the itching and burning temporarily, it is the acids thrown off by the blood that cause the irritation and eruptions upon the skin. The acids must be neutralized and the system cleans- ed of all humors and poisons before the Medical advice cure is permanent. S S S furnished free.

The hot knob told an officer that there was a fire inside the building. He was industriously trying doorknobs to see if thieves were about. A big blaze was in_progress on the ground floor and the heat was intense. Covering themselves in bedspreads and blankets the occupants of the house were hustled downstairs. THEY SO DESIRE. Chefoo, Nov. 4.—Port Arthur is doomed. The correspondent of the Associated Press here has received in- formation, the reliability of which is beyond ¢uestion, that the Japanese now occupy positions Which place the east side of the town at their mercy. The last assault has gained for them positions which insure their ability to enter the main east forts whenever they are ready. The Japanese calculate that if the Russians do not surrénder now they will be capable of prol#lzing the fight- ing by making their final stand at Liaoti promontory and Tigers Tail for a month longer, with the mere hope of continuing the struggle.

Their siege park has been completed by the -placing of 1l-inch bowitzers. During the night of Oct. 29 all the reserves advanced through a network of trenches in front of the eastern fortified ridges from south of Keekwan to west of Keekwan and to the west of Rihlung mountain, called by the Japanese Shochosan. The bombardment began at dawn Oct. 30 and infantry attacks were — _AND—— planned to go against Rihlung moun- tain, an entrenched hill between the coast of Banjusan and the east of Keekwan, and on three Keekwan forts. There is tremendous excitement among the troops, who are convinced of suc- | cess and mean to capture the fortified ridges and compel the surrender of Port Arthur at once. When the Japanese drove the Rus- last range of hills in front of the for- tress by a surprise attack July 30 the Russians retired to the forts, but they also strongly held previously prepared advance lines to prevent the Japanese from closing in upon the fortified ridges. This line of forts was fourteen miles long, forming & semi-circle from the east coast to four miles from the west coast and circling five mileg northwest of Port Arthur. A IN NO° MOOD FOR GAIETY.

Reason Why Russia Was Not Repre- sented at the Hull Inquest. London, Nov. 4—Some of the morn- ing newspapers consider the fact that Russia was not represented at the coroner’s inquest at Hull Wednesday as a virtual admission of her inability to controvert the fishermen’s plain, un- varnished story of the North sca af- fair. The suggested composition of the international commission is accepted by the newspapers as satisfactory and as likely to ensure the matter being thoroughly investigated. It is announced from Gibraliar that the experimental land and sea mobili- zation is now concluded. It is reported that the Channel, Mediterranean and East Indian squad- rons have received instructions to; shadow Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet . throughout its passage.
